Il wish the girls would be more
appreciative of this type Of m.tn and
give them a little moro encourage
ment. They deserve II. Even IL uiey
are not so handsome and attractive
they have other qualifications equally
as good"
The question of. what type of man
is the favorite with the modern girl
was recently brought up In Paris
when sociologists made the discovery
that the French girls no longer loved
the "old man" and were marrying
the younger ones.
II has been a tradition. II not a
custom, with French girls to give
preference to the older man in the
matter of accepting attention and af-
fairs OF the heart, and this change OF
heart caused not a little stir among
the masculine population.
The older man has long been looked
on with favor by the Partisan belle
as a prospective husband, being con.
sidered more prosperous and more
capable of taking care of a wife. He
had proved his mettle. Didn't he own
a yacht, a town house, a palatial city
residence, and prosperous business
TO boot? What else could a love-sick
maiden wish for7
WAR CHANGED OUTLOOK.
But then the war came and the
French girl saw which was the first
TO go to the front and how brave and
strong and handsome and young the
younger man" was, and she made
up her mind from then on, he would
be the one. So say the sociologists.
Mrs. Spencer is a veteran psycholo-
gist. This matter of solving affairs
of the heart and giving scientific read
mgs has been a lifelong affair with
her. When she was only fourteen
years old she hung up her card in the
window and has been practicing ever
since, these past twenty years. She
was the first to receive a license in
the District Of Columbia.
Mrs. Spencer has a large circle OF
devotees, who have found in her a
reliable and scientific adviser. She
has taken the best out of the pro-
fession and given 1t to her callers.
She frowns on such things as cards
or crystal gazing and her readings
are scientific.

We. the hoys OF Sixth street,

play ball without some one COM

them nervous. Can't we play in
the streets AFTER WORKING
ALL DAY LONG? Also can't
something be done TO the people
who complain.
BOYS OF SIXTH STREET
It's pretty hard on boys who work
not to have a chance to play games
toward the close OF the day, and too
many grown people make complaint
for trivial causes. forgetting how they
acted when they were young. Still
there are regulations Of the police
depa rtment which must be enforced.
Washington greatest trouble IL
that there are too few Playground
In this city for young people. who
are compelled to resort to the streets.
Our advice. boys, is to make friends
with the cop on the beat. and tell
him your troubles. II he's not a sour
apple he'll try 20 help you in some
manner. or course you must learn 20
treat other peoples rights with fair

PRESS FREEDOM IN PERIL.
Gambling News Ban Bill Would
Even Prohibit Discussion of
Financial Matters.

BY Associated Press &c Every Evening
Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. 16.-Thomas II.
Williams, president of the American
newspaper Publishers Association, to-
day called on all members of the or
ganization, as well as publishers gem
orally, to use their efforts to defeat
house bill No. 650s. on the ground that
mo such mischievous interference
with press freedom has ever before
been seriously proposed in this coun-
try"
THE BILL" said Mr.. Williams in q
statement, prohibits publication in
newspapers of any news likely to lead
TO gambling. Ostensibly aimed to rae
ing news, it would be equally appli-
cable TO a large quantity or variety
of financial and other news, such as
reports of bank clearings, which have
been gambled on in many cities. The
unprecedented censorship involved by
the bill itself is more than sufflcien,
warrant for its defeat. It's embargo on
so much news required for the proper
information Of business interests is
a strong additional reason.
mo such mischievous interference,
with press freedom has ever befor,
been seriously proposed in this coun.
try. Immediately steps to prevent il
going any further are urgently rec
commended. Its vicious character
should be impressed on the Senat,
judiciary committee that it's defeat viii

The immigration papers OF the girl
and her father have been forwarded
TO Washington and are now being ex-
amined by~government officials. These
papers. after being approved, will be
returned 10 the customs officials at
Ellis Island. who, in turn, will decide
the fate of the girl and her father
This method of procedure, Il Is de-
clared, involves several weeks.
The fact that Miss Salrakon was not
informed of the existing laws in this
country is regarded by the BONES
family as sufficient reason to have the
girl and her father enter this country.
Under existing conditions they are not
classed as aliens without American
prospects. as il is the intention of
young Mr.. BONES TO establish a nome
In this city for both his bride and her
father.

Washington. Dec. 16-The French
delegation has presented proposai
for 30 great I'm increase In the
strength Of the French navy that tho
British declare such program, Il
carried out. would upset tho WHOLE
plan for b-5-3 naval reduction.
Although not yet entirely revealed.
the British understand that the French
plan provides for the construction Of
$4,000 ton super er-dreadnsughts In ten
years. subsequent 10 1926. These ves-
sells. of n type similar TO tho American
pattleship Maryland. would give
France capital ship tonnage OF sJ0,-
600 as against 3ib, b,009 for Japan and
n preponderauco OF new ''post-Jut-
,and" type craft over all nations.
Italy. although indicating disapprov-
al of such building program. Is said
to have told the arms conference that
h Franco constructs ten such ships.
she must carry out n similar building
program.
Arthur j. Balfour. head of tho
British delegation. gave notice today
that Great Britain would propose 60
Aiid hAtlfH hNAAAffhfAt-f AttN hHAftA stNttA~
ion Of submarines.
The combined French and Italian
leets thus would be some 100000 tons
stronger than the British or tho
American allotments under the revis-
ed figures agreed on yesterday by the
dig three.
The question of French and italian
naval ratios, as compared with th'
5-5-3 standing assigned to the Uni.
ted States. Great Britain and Japar
under yesterdays agreement was talk
en- up by tho subcommittee Of Is
Meeting today.
No official word has come from tn
! Conference, however as to what ton
mage France has asked. hut Il Franc
has asked for $4,000, II would repre-
sent about 40 per cent increase Il
her present capital ship strength
measured in terms Of modern dread
naught or super-dreadnaught ton
mage. She has ailoat today. approx
lmately 16S.000 tons in such ships
Both nayies include a comparativel
small tonnage in pre-dreadnaugh
battleships.
Should il ultimately be determine
that the PRINCIPLES of the America
/ proposal arc to govern the Frenc
: and Italian ratio as well as those G
Great Britain, the United States an
Japan, there would be no substantis
increase in the present modern capi
/ tai ship tonnage of the two Europea
2 powers. France now stands on bas
. is of completed ships at less than
1
American strength as estimated
I the 5-5-3 proposal should be take
4 as 100 per cent. In other words,
4 France were bracketed into the 5-5-
: ratio, her place would be less tha
: two and Italy slightly below that.
