PRESIDENT TO TAKE
UP REORGANIZATION
Meets Congress Committee
Tonight on Department Re.
grouping Problem.

The scheme for regrouping and CO.
ordinating the government depart
menrs and establishments. which was
submitted to President Harding by
Walter +. Brown. personal represen-
tative of the President, is to be dis
cussed at White House conference
tonight with the joint congressional
committee, which is instructed TO
make a report to Congress looking
toward legislative reorganization
This report by Mr.. Brown has been
the subject of cabinet discussion for
more than three months.
1t is understood that there have been
very serious disagreements between the
cabinet members over certain proposals
and that President Harding has work
ed hard to reconcile these differences.
Vital Points at Issue.
The consolidation of the War and
Navy departments into one great de-
partment of national defense, and the
creation of a new department of well
fare and education are said to be the
principal proposals which the President
will discuss with the congressional
Joint committee tonight.
Resrouping of the various activities
of the government departments by eX-
ecutive order to avoid as far as poSSl-
BILE the necessity for further legisla-
ton and to enable more expeditions
reorganization of departmental func-
tions is understood to be under con-
sideration by the administration. ..
The suggestion has been made. 1t
was said in high official circles. that
such portions of the report of the
Brown reorganization committee as
do not require legislation to become
effective might be put into force by
executive order and the remainder
submitted to Congress for action.
ReErouping Already Begun.
Steps along the line of regrouping
have already been taken. Last week
President Harding transferred fifty
health service to. the Veterans
Bureau by executive order, and both
Secretary Mellon and Secretary
Hoover are understood to have ap-
proved the issuance of similar order
transferring the statistical section of
the customs service located in New
York.
This change is sought by the Com
merce Department. it was explained,
to permit of an expansion of the gov
ernment's facilities for compiling
data on the country's exports and
imports through ufllHCdllOH OF the
work now being done jointly by the
Treasury Department and the Com
merce Department. The personnel of
the statistical division of the customs
service. it was stated, would not be
affected beyond change in its de-
partment.
Discusses Prohibition Unit.
Attorney General Daugherty dis
cussing the reorganization plans said
today he would never recommend
definitely. that the prohibition en-
forcement unit be transferred from
the internal revenue bureau of the
Treasury Department to the Depart
ment of Justice. If that duty should
be relegated to his department, how
ever. Mr. Daugherty said he would
probably place Department of Justice
agents in charge of the work. and
intimated that he would reorganize
the whole system of prohibition en-
forcement.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have
been going with a young man for
two years. He has lived with his
mother, but she died short time
ago and the house was broken up.
He took a room and furnished it
with a few things of his own. For
two months he has been out of
work, but now he has secured work
in another town and he is going to
leave. He has asked me to accept
his Victrola as a gift He has not
proposed marriage, but 1 am almost
sure he loves me and is only wait
ing until things are better for him
to propose.
Would it be all right to accept
the VictroIa and his records?
DOUBTFUL
Yes it would be all right to ac-
cept the gift.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Three
years ago l met young man and
we became very friendly for about
a year. Then friends and my peo-
pie made a little trouble. He
stopped speaking to me and
couldn't understand why. Then
stories came out and the things
that were said hurt me very much,
as l cared a great deal for this
man. A short time ago We started
speak. l have sent him cards for
holiday greetings with just friend
w
right and proper for me to do so?
PANSY EYES
If the young man also sends you
greetings, it is all right for you to
continue to remember him in that
way. But if you send the greet
ings and he never does, stop doing
it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please
tell me if it is wrong to wear my
wedding ring from my first hUs-
band if my second didn't buy me
any?
Is a girl of 90 too old to have
bobbed hair? BLACK JACK.
1t is not wrong to wear the ring,
but I shouldn't think you would
want to. When a woman marrieS
a second time it is best for her to
consider her first marriage thing
of the past and to lay aside tokens
from that union. If you want to
wear. the ring. however, and your
husband is perfectly willing, do so.
If he is not willing he should Ger
tainly buy you a ring now.
A young woman of % is not too
old to have bobbed hair if the style !
is becoming to her. i
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When you
are out walking with young man |
who claims he loves you, and he
has hold of your arm, and then |
when some older person comes /
alcng, if he always lets go, do you /
think he respects you and loves |
you?
When anybody comes along and |
knows me he always walks a little /
ahead of me. Do you think he
cares for me as he says he does?
He is going away in a few days.
Should 1 kiss him in the station?

Fashion NeaUs
Notes by Wire
to The Argus

Paris, May 15-It has come al
last The long dress, brushing the
insteps, with side panels actually
who wore it at an afternoon tea
was tall and carried off effectively
the long lines, which on, seemed OF
course even longer. She moved
with an easy grace that took no &C
count ~ the lengthy panels, though
the management floor length dress
is something. women have well nigh
forgotten. '.Pretty-but not for
me-" seemed to be the verdict of
most beholders. From their re-
marks it was evident that the very
long dress is not going to be pop
ular for many moons, if ever, again.
London, May 13.-Dark blue is
increasing its vogue daily and once
more comes the effort to brighten
it a bit. By itself dark blue is not
interesting. A peculiar shade of
red has been combined with it
lately and the effect is smart in
the extreme. This red is neither
scarlet nor yet tone of henna. 1t
is a deep, clear red with no trace
of yellow. Ruby is perhaps the
shade which comes nearest this
new one. though the new shade is
a trifle lighter. This red is used
in vanished materials which look
the best when contrasted with the
rather sombre blue
London, May 13-Crisp little
frills of white are being used on
summer gowns of dark shades.
Tight and tiny frilIs are seen at
the neck and around the edges of
the sleeves Now and then long
frill rims the sleeves, a. reminis-
cence of the Queen Anne days of
dignified dress. Some of the sum-
mer frocks even have little mus
lin aprons which introduce queer
and pretty note. The aprons are
edged with the narrowest of frills
and have the merest touch of enl-
broidery at the corners. In sew
eral instances the aprons are real
aprons, attached to the gown only
at the waist.
New York, May 13-One of the
most fascinating uses of the Egyp-
tan motif is to be seen on a frock
of pale blue cloth. Across the
gown from shoulder to shoulder is
a thrSe-inch band of embroidery
showing the famous Egyptian wing
ed sun in black, blue and flame.
Instead of placing this motif di-
rectly across the front of the girdle
also, the designer has repeated it
on the girdle over each hip so that
in front only the two wing tips
show. The cap-like top of the cloth
and georgette sleeve is covered
with the sun disk surrounded by
small wing quilts.
New York, May 13.-Banana vel
low is a tint which bids fair to
rival dandelion. It is especially
when combined with black.
A gown. for example. of banana
zasha cloth is embroidered with a
light patter in black silk. The
gown is split from point well be-
ow the neckline to the hem in or |
Ter to reveal an underslip of black |
;repe moracain. l

We are engaged to be married in a
few months.
1 am writing TO two young men.
He says 1 must not write to them
any more. Should I sop or not?
BROWN EYES.
! l think embarrassment accounts
for the young mans actions when
you are out walking together. He
is not familiar enough with social
: usage to go along as he has been
doing without embarrassment. Do
not judge his love by the fact that
! he drops your arm.
! l would advise you to kiss each
} other goodbye at home. I would
be less conspicuous.
! Since you are engaged You
! should stop writing to the other two
young men.
! Dear Mrs Thompson: How can 7
get rid of enlarged pores which I
have on my nose?
When you are out walking with
fellow and you have gone with hin
for nine months and are engaged
to marry as soon as he has enough
money to buy a home, should you
take hold OF his arm?
/ Should you shake hands with
young man when you are intro
duced? Should you reach out y0us
hand first? Tc0TS.
For enlarged pores, apply the
following lotion with d piece of old
linen or a bit of absorbent cottoS.
Boric acid, one Gram; distilled
witch hazeA four ounces.
1t would be all right to take the
young mans arm, but il would
look better if you walked iGdepen-
IDENTIFY and he assisted you across
rough places.
It is correct to shake hands when
introduced. Either way is alright,
but to hold out your hand is little
more cordial Do so without wait
ing for the man to hold out his.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
been married five years. Right aft
er our marriage my husband began
to deceive me, but l didn't find it
out until we had been married two
years. He seemed to feel very bad
ly and said that if l would give
him another cnance ne Woulu 90
differently. II he meant having
other women instead of that one,
he certainly kept his word. Since
then he has been-yery dislOyal and
several times l have found him out
When 1 married him l loved him,
but now 1 only have contempt in
my heart and I know that if l gave
him a lifetime in which to improve
he would be just as bad at the end
of that time l am sick of living
with a man like that and I want to
divorce him. He knows 1 do and so
he has begged me as before 10
give hom one more chance. I want
to go, but I want to do the right
thing.
What would you advise me to do?
UNHAPPY WIFE.
It seems to me that you have
considered the man long enough.
His promises mean nothing and he
continues to make you unhappy.
Surely you can feel free to divorce
him.
