by than by having a comparativeiy
measly shrimp for life partner. He
contents himself with the Just obser-
yation that every woman should be
proud of her husband at the diuDeg
table.
As fer the dangers lurking in the
modern dance, Oliver Wendell would
dispose of these by a very simple ex-
pedient. He would have the mlsi-
clans instructed to cease playing The
moment any man should be seen with
his arm around womans waist. This
idea is at least original.
However, to get back to the dinnc.
1Oliyer Wendell would allow the men
and women to ''mingle in general con-
Versation before the meal" and then
ito the strains of Onward Christian
Soldiers let each man seek his own
wife and escort her to the table" The
House Committees of the Pendennis,
Moose Green, River Valley and Stan
dard Clubs will please take this under
consideration.
Another constructive suggestion by
this author is that there should be a
law requiring the girls to know how 10
cock dozen wholesome dishes before
being allowed to keep company with
young men of matrimonial tendencies.
AS for the young men, Oliver Wendell
says:
If young man came to ask
girl to go riding with him. her fa-
ther could say: "Show first your
certificate of knowledge, of moral
philosophy, cf your attendance at
Sunday school, and evidences of
having saved over $500"
Divorce would indeed be greatly re-
.duced if the young men of the coun-
try could meet these meritorious re-
quirements. Law to bring about the
change would have tc await an amend
ment to the Constitution to provide
for enforced religious observance, but
it could be worked into the Blue Law
programme.

resented at this meeting by a com
n1ittee of three.
1t is planned to have the commits
sion authorize the construction OF

soon as possible. The road proposed
to be built is fourteen miles in length
and its construction would prove most
helpful to the business interests OF
Alexandria. Funds for its construc-
ton would be borne by the county and
state. 1t is estimated that the road
would cost between 100000 and
$500 900.

more and better bargains than
e;cr before, and that the housewives
begin to save out of their household
expenses dime here end a quarter
there, to make the fetal of the dol
lars they ale e"ger to spend on the
coming bargains.
Originally these sales came at the

stocks ''an' ever thing go into the

that submarine attacked and sank a

The yard is equipped to do the work
and there is skilled labor q plenty
in the city. The repair work is let
on competitive bidding basis and
the Newport News yard hopes to get
its full share. 1t will take many steel
cars, however, to afford as much WORK
as there is on merchant ship or a

Never before in the history of the
many pageants has the Capital Of
the Nation witnessed such a pageant
as passed up its broad thoroughfare
on its way to the national burial
grounds. The President Of the United
States, the members Of the Cabinet,
Supreme Court, Senate, House and
distinguished bodies of veterans Of
many wars filed by on their way to
the final resting place of the un-
known hero. Each and everyone was
there to pay homage to the unidenti-
fed hero laid to rest among the hills
Of Virginia, to sleep with his COM
rades in arms, who, had also lost
their lives and made the supreme sac
rifice in order. that the nation might
be preserved and civilization for all
time should be preserved.
There was a touch Of pathos in
yesterdays procession in the presence
of former President Wilson. Too af-
fiicted to walk in the funeral process
sion, he saw fit to request that he
should be represented in the line Of
march which followed the caisson
bearing the body of the unknown hero
to its home. The crowds that had as
sembled could not forget the solcm-
nifty of the occasion. They were en-
thusiastic in their outbursts for the
man, now wounded soldier, who had
done so much to bring about amity
between the world and whose acts
will form a part of the worlds his
tory when the present generation has
long since passed away.
Yesterdays function, military in
all its aspects, proved conclusivelv
that Wilson is the hero OF the think
ing people and that, despite his ply
sical condition, he is still and will
ever remain the real hero of a ma
jority of human kind. And Wilson
felt in body and soul the spirit of the
that was made manifest
for him during the proceedings of
yesterday.

Washington, Nov. l2.-Virginia,
the mother Of Presidents holds today
the earth Of the unknown soldier,
sanctified by his glorified death in
behalf of the nation and mankind:
Upon the soil which the intrepid
Robert f. Lee found solace and which
his fondest memories bear record, all
that was mortal of that unknown
warrior was inferred with ceremonies
never before known in the history of
the government. Virginia, as usual
PLAYED her utmost part. She was
chosen to be the birth place and
burial ground Of the nations heroes,
known and unknown and Arlington
OF yesterday proved that Virginia is
a State and part Of the great COM
monwealth Of nations which forever
will remain indelibly imprinted upon
the vicissitudes Of affairs SO long as
