Hunting Husbands Abroad.

Hunting Husbands Abroad.
An American woman, a mother, recently
sailed from San Francisco with her three at
tractive daughters on misunderstanding tour
of the world The mother was to hunt hus-
bands for her daughters, anyone of whom
looked capable of searching and finding for
herself if so disposed But this was no ordi
nary misunderstanding tour. The mother was
personally conducting it--quite undertake
ing with three manageable daughters on
hand-and she sailed, strong in the belief that
more suitable husbands were to be found in
other lands than could be flushed right here
at home.
That mother may have deep and abiding
love and affection for her daughters. Most
mothers have that feeling for their girls,
especially when contemplating for and with
them their careers of marriage, and they.
should have. But that this mother labors
under sad misrepresentation anyone would
have to admit if one still expected to lay
claim to being a patriotic American. Really
there are few things nowadays husbands and
wives included, that are of better quality
abroad than here at home. Not long ago
someone told in long article how it was
that when it came to actual values domestic
cheeses actually were superior to those made
in Europe The only merit the domestic
cheese lacked-if indeed, it was merit
was the foreign label The same applies to
motor cars, women's gowns and hats and
various other commodities offered on the
market Indeed, one might easily believe the
same rule could be sensibly applied to for
eign husbands
When one looks back over several years
one does not lind such a formidable list of
foreign husbands that make good, especially
those that were bought and paid for. Many
American girls of culture and wealth have
been attracted by glittering coronets, and,
after the glamour wore off as their money
put new finishes on the ancestral castles,
many of them came back home regretful,
unhappy and, in some cases, too old and
unattractve to make a second start with
husbands of their own nativity Some inter
national matches have succeeded of course,
exceptions to ali rules being admitted On the
other hand, many American marriages do
not succeed, but nowadays if girl is going
to take her chance at the marriage lottery

fuel administrators in peace and war
time emergencies was urged before

place at the disposal of the govern
ment the nations entire resources of

This plan Of coal mobilization

producing district in the whole
United States. Its details should so

promising circumstances. This oppor-

.RAPS SCHOOL USE
AS MEETING PLACES
Aschenbach Defends Parent
Teacher Opposition; Holds
Criticism Is Justified.

Opposition by the District Congress
Citations to the use of public school
buildings by community and other
gatherings was justified, according to
statement today by G.. Fl. Aschen-
bach, president of the Franklin
Thomson Parent-Teacher Association.
"a resolution criticising the use of
our public school buildings by COM
munity as well as many outside
(Which means various state and other
gatherings who do not take the least
interest in our school or city system
whatever) organizations, and passed
at a recent meeting of the District
Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teacher Associations. of which Mrs.
Giles Scott Rafter is the presiding
head, was just and proper, and an
swered a question which has been in
the minds of many for some time re-
Earding the use Of our schools by
other than local bodies working for
the betterment Of our community and
school system" said the statement
Little Health Menace
" HtlHtT lfS HSdlIn Or welfare or
school children Is in any way men
aced by the use of the school audi
toriums for meeting purposes is diff
hcult to determine, because all schools
have janitor service and are kept as
clean and sanitary as one could eX-
pect. save some improvements that
are being met in the erection of new
school buildings
The statement made by A. ]. Dris-
coll, president of the Mid-City Citi-
zcns' Association, that the mothers
criticism was unfortunate and un-
called for, does not answer the ques-
ton satisfactorily as to whether our
schools should be given over to other
than local bodies working for our
city and school system and whether
the taxpayers are willing to let this
practice continue.
The citizens of Washington are
very generous when the question of
strive to provide for the proper
schooling of their own children, but
also of parents children from the
states adjacent to Washington and
from all over the country, for that
matter. of which some are only here
for a given time when by reason of
circumstances they leave the city
all of which passes on without ques-
ton.
Why should we, then, be expected
to grant outsiders the use of our
school buildings for their friendl,
gatherings?
1T may be that the granting LOT
such favors induces some people, to
think you must hang to the coat tail.
OF some politician or you won't keep
in, which is a. bad situation for a
public school system to get into be-
cause they leave and the citizens
must stay here"

Canada Explains
/ Action in Firing
On u. s. Schooner

The Canadian government. in an
swer to an inquiry from the State
Department here, has made a report
covering the firing upon the .Ameri-
can fishing schooner Sloan by \
British coast guard ship off the coast
of Vancouver Island two months ago,
which resulted in the killing of an
American sailor.
The report sets forth that the
American vessel was caught with
lines overheard fishing within the
territorial waters Of British Column
bia; that upon being hailed she at
tempted to make off and resisted
search so that 1t was necessary to
fire upon her.
report requested from the Ameri-
can consul has not yet been received.
the delay, 1T is believed, being due to
difficulty in locating, for ;,.idavits,
witnesses. most of whom follow the
sea and therefore are only occasion
ally available.

CANADA DECLINES
TO STOP RUM SHIPS
Dominion Refuses to Comply
With Request of State
Department.

Canada has declined this govern
ment's latest request to help in the
enforcement of prohibition. The Do
minion in a note through the Brit
ish amba ssador here, declared it
could not adopt the suggestion put
forward by the American State De-
partment last March, that clearance
papers be declined vessels with liquor
destined to ports in the United States.
This government in it's note to the
Canadian authorities had called at
tention to the Canadian border prob
lem, and pointed out that the Cana
dian authorities permitted small
motor boats to take on cargoes of
liquor and to make regular customs
clearances to ports in the United
States, thus complying with the
Canadian law which prohibits the sale
of liquors to persons in Canada, but
allows the expectation to a foreign
country.
1t was suggested that since the i'm
portation of liquor into the United
States without permit was illegal
the Canadian officials might be dis
posed to decline clearance papers to
vessels with cargoes Of liquor des-
tined to ports in the United States
unless permits authorizing importa-
ton were presented.
The reply of the Canadian govern
ment through the British ambassador
received Tuesday. said 1t had care
fully investigated the matter and had
ascertained that the provisions of the
law were being properly observed
1t was further stated that the export
of liquor from Canada was not pro-
hibited and there existed no provi-
sions in the customs laws or regula-
lions warranting refusal Of clearance
papers to vessels carrying liquor
destined for a foreign port simply be-
cause it's entry, without special per-
mits, is prohibited.
