The venerable Standard Oil
magnate, who was SO Saturday,
demonstrated the paramount

Although the temperature how
cred at 70 degrees, Rockefeller
appeared at the church clad In
partial winter raiment.
The only summery bit of ap-
pdfel he wore was a fiat brim

apparel was: An overcoat, a
heavy muffler, a leather waist
coat tightly buttoned almost to

shoes.
While others sweltered, John

Portable.
Time has laid its heavy hand
on the oil magnate. His face Is
furrowed with deep lines that
stand out sharply. His step is
! not as sprightly as it was Just
a few years ago. But his eyes
twinkle as merrily as of old. To
protect those eyes that grow
! dim with age, he wore heavy sun
goggles. With Mr.. Rockefeller
was Barron J. Collier, the ad-
vertising man.

British Embassy Bachelors
Pan American Girls Who Use
Point and POlUder In Public

Whenever I see them do it, l
want to haul out a tooth brush and
brush my teeth before them. 1t
would be just as appropriate and
just as permissible"
Washington girls, of course, can
not compete with the British girls
in the matter of compilations, but
the bachelors cruelty insist that
they abandon lip stick and puff,
making no allowance for the diff
ference in compiexion-making
properties between the climates Of
London and Washington.
Il would not marry a girl who
uses powder" declared one of the
youngest of the British bachelors,
because face powder gives me hay
fever. l am a confirmed bachelor,
l suppose, because l am subject to
hay fever"
The British love sports and be-
cause the Washington deb is too
busy with paint and powder to
learn golf or tennis there is no
happy meeting ground. A real dis
covery made during the writer's
interview with the bachelor band
wass that what the Britishers, and
probably many other young men,
are yearning for these days is a
quiet evening at some girls home
where they can turn the leaves of
an old, sweet song, with the girl
playing the piano under the soft
light Of tinted lamp. That sounds
like a scene whiSis1Dight easily be
staged in Washington but the
bachelors say no.
Can't Play Piano.
"T-don't know a girl in Washing
ton who can play the piano." COM
planned the young spokesman: "all
they can do is to change needles on
the victrola"
So far, so good, but let a Wash
ington deb give answer.
so the British bachelors abhor
r:int and powder and jazz, do
they?' she said. "Ha, Ha, that's
good. We suppose that is the reas-
on they give parties so often for
the stars in the musical comedy
shows that come to Washington.
We suppose they get away from the
bold, bad buds in order to enjoy
the pale, clear complexions of the
| ladies of the ensemble"
And that is why some Of the
Washington debs are laughing up
| their georgette sleeves.

Washington, D. c., July 10.-Why
are there SO many confirmed and
invincible bachelors on the British
embassy staff in Washington?'
There is something in the reason
why this doughty group of nine
young diplomats have been able SO
long to Withstand the attacks OF
the shock troops of Washington de-
butantes, advancing in waves each
successive social season, urged on
by campaigning mothers.
One of the bachelors explained
today. Washington girls use too
much paint and powder. They new
er let ten minutes go by without
daubing their faces with one or the
other. Washington girls do not
play games-there are fewer wom-
en- golfers and tennis players in the
capital than in any city its size in
the entire western world. Last but
not least, the Washington girls do
no play the piano, or let a fellow
sit around and sing sentimental
songs of an evening.
Jazz Music Kills Love.
Washington social life is nothing
but jazz music, automobiles and
cocktails. A fellow never has a
chance to make earnest love in the
good old-fashioned way.
However. the bachelor band at the
embassy is beginning at last to
show signs of slow disintegration.
For several years now they have
preserved their ranks intact
through countless barrages of din
ner, dance and tea invitations. But
one has surrendered-that gallant
young sailor man-Captain S. R.
Bailey, naval attache. His engage
ment to Miss Mildred Bromwell,
one of the most popular of Wash
ingtons younger set, has been an
nounced. 1t is rumored, too, that
another captain on the embassy
staff is basely considering desert
ing from the rest of the die
hards."
The faithful seven vow they new
er will surrender. The paint and
the powder seem the bulwark OF
their opposition to matrimony.
BY JOve! The Idea!
1.-THE girls here" said bachelor
spokesman today, think nothing OF
rouging and powdering in public

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
Washington, July 1O.-There's
grave danger that as a result of a
conflict as to whether employees Of
one class shall substitute for
others of another craft a general
railroad strike may be precipitat-
cd.
The railroad brotherhoods, led by
the trainmen and firemen organi-
ntions, have let it be known that
their members cannot be ordered
10 do workk which the men now on
strike are accustomed to do. Some
Of the railroad executives take the
view that they have right to order
any of their employees to do any
work they please in an emergency
II such an attitude is persisted IN
union men now at work are expect
ed to decline and should they be
discharged for disobedience they
will be backed to the limit by their
own organizations and a sympa,
thetic strike would then be In.
evitable.
The railway executives are by ne
means united as to the stand the,
should take. Some Of theU mum
Der think that general show
down would be a benefit in the Ions
run as they contend that puDll'
opinion would swing away fron
the strikers and that once a rail
road strike was won by the raj!
roads the fears of industrial con
iiict which have been for so many
years worrying the railroads woult
once and for all time be dissipated
Rail Board Worried.
The seriousness of the situation
is thoroughly realized by the Unit
ed States railroad labor board
which has adopted resolution
giving the opinion that employees OF
another class cannot be ordered &c
do the work of the strikers, but the
danger lies in the fact that worf
overIaps so much and that it is
hard to draw the line. Naturall,
the union men at work can be ex
pected to draw the line much closer
than the railway officials who arr
interested in keeping their train:
going no matter hsw the Job i:
done.
The presence of militia in many
regions of the country is always
potential source of trouble ant
both sides are none too sure tha
the strike can be carried on with
out friction. The addition o
strikebreakers has complicated
matters on some roads. In othel
words as the trouble making fac
tors accumulate an enlarged STRIKE

Chicago, July 1O.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The crucial stage
Of the rail strike was reached to-
day-the 10th day since the shop
mems nationwide walkout.
Troops were on duty in Illinois
and under arms in five other states,
United States marshals were in
charge of law enforcement ma
chinery at various points, while at
other rail centers the roads relied
on federal injunctions and local
authorities for protection in at
tempting to operate shops and
maintain transportation.
Shop and round house whistles
shrieked the final notes of railroad
ultimatums cancelling seniority
and pension rights of strikers who
refused to return to the shops to-
day.
The day brought ominous fore
bodings of an impending crisis at
many points as trouble brewed
among the strikers. Now acts of
violence occurred at scattered
points and others were feared as
the situation grew more tense.
Both Sides Determined.
The 10th day of the strike was
marked by the apparent determine
tion of both sides to stand by their
positions taken at the outset, and
indications pointed to a feverish
deadlock in the strike.
| Railroads generally prepared to
open their shops with what labor
was available. accepting returned
strikers and filling vacant jobs as
far as possible with imported work
ers
State troops patTolled the Illinois
Central yards and shops at Clinton
ILL.,, while at Bloomington, city and
county officials, admitting the col
lapse of civil authority and expect
ing further trouble in the Chicago
& Alton shops, awaited action by
Lieutenant Governor Sterling on
their appeal for troops.
A new appeal to the acting gov
ernor was made by Mayor Jones
and Sheriff Morrison late las,
night. They declared the strike sit
uation was out of their control.
Guards Are Modified.
National guard companies were
mobilized in Missouri and Kansas
while the Michigan state police
were ordered to prepare for strike
duty.
United States Marshal Levy was
authorized by Federal Judge Car.
penter, who, issuing an injunction
restraining strikers from interfer-
ing with operation of Burlington
shops at Aurora ILL.,, to employ any
necessary measures to preserve
peace there and enforce the irjunc-
ton.
United States marshals increased
their forces as they prepared tC
take charge of law enforcement al
points in several states where sit
uations were critical.
