Ku-Klux and Pistol Carrying.
To the Editor of The Star:


The publicity being afforded the
newly organized Ku klux Klan is re-
sponsible to no small degree for the
feverish anxiety with which many
citizens have sought to purchase fire
arms and ammunition. When guns
cannot he easily purchased in Wash
ington. they are secured from nearby
cities The bylaws of the ku- -KluX
Of 1865 made it obligatory for every
member to supply himself with d
pistol. and many people do not know
whether the new ku-kiux has a set
of regulations similar to the older
organization. Numbers of cowardly
letters have been received by citizens
OF the District signed TX. x X" and
such persons have endeavored to arm
themselves in their homes who never
before possessed firearms. A drive on
the part of federal and local officers
of the law to suppress these secret
mob orders would so far to break
up pistol buying.

when found guilty of gun-toting. To
make examples of one set of criminals
and to lessen the degree of punish
ment to another set is conducive of
miscarriage of the ends of such
Justice. ! am hoping that gun-toting

The Usual Luck

In Kansas. where | lived for
years, the winters were fright;
the north winds came and froze
my ears when in my bed at
night. The snow was always
ankle deep. and filled my heart
with pain, and murky heavens
used to weep twelve kinds of
chilling rain. And so | said. "Ill
seek a cline where winter isn't
known. where there is neither
snow nor rime. and blizzards do
not groan.' And so | pitched
my moving tent upon a sunny
shore, where weather prophets
don't lament, and ground hogs
weep no more. And then the
Kansas climate braced, and
sprung a great reform; no biz
yards DER her prairies chased.
the air was mild and warm.

AUNT PATS FORUM.

Dear Aunt Pat:
How is it that the widow is so
popular and always has company when
girl just as good looking and
more clever goes with out?
Sincerely DORIS.
My dear Doris:
You; question might be styled the
eternal question" This fact has gev-
en- concern for ages and perhaps will
for ages. I will give you an answer
given me by a merry little widow.
1.-THE men who usually seek a widows
company, are men who believe that
they do not wish to get married and
yet they wish to be entertained and
mingle in society. They choose a
widow because she is companionable
and society will not expect that that
a man who keeps her company is OBJ
ligate1 nor does she keep him under
that impression" Then comes in the
work of Dan Cupid" The young man
finds his widow friend chummy, sym
pathetic and interesting and before
he realizes it, he is caught in the
little widows meshes'
Young girls might do well to take
their cue from this widow Don't try
to impress a young man that you are
trying to love him. Be first a good
companion sympathetic and interested
in whatever interests him and you
will awaken his love. Men wish to woe
not be woed let him believe that he
made you love him. In the words of
slang. Cut out the vamping.
Lovingly,
AUNT PAT.

reason 1t is essential that something

very effective, but becomes rather
dangerous when attempted in the
manner that many folks practice
