SMOKING DULLS TASTE

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Now that
women are smoking it is believed
they will lose some of the high
praises that have been coming to
them for their ability to tell ex-
cellent wines by taste. This pleas
ant task, for so many years practi-
cally monopolized by men, is grad
ually being taken up by women. Only
the possibility Of a dulled taste from
smoking will prevent the women
from taking the lead, it is believed.

Board members. however, said that
they always give the veterans the
benefit OF the doubt when examina-
tions are reported to Washington for
increased pensions.

Girls Highest in Grades

Girls make higher grades than
boys in Marion County schools
outside of Indianapolis, according
to Raymond Sanders, county at
tendance officer. Sanders said
he attributed this to the fact that
girls minds mature faster than
boys' and that few work after
school thus being able to devote
more time to study.
Sanders said the attendance in
county schools is unusually high
this term. He said the only
schools where teachers encounter
difficulty in getting children to
school is in institutions near the
city limits. Few absentees are
reported from schools in the

D. c. AUTO MEN
HOLD ANNUAL
DINNER
Imaginary World Tour Made
by Guests-Function Pre-
Iiminary to Show

Three hundred members OF the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation are back today from a trip
around the world and are resting up.
The trip-purely imaginary-was
made during the course or the an
nual dinner of the association last
night at the City Club. The dinner
was preliminary to the automobile
show to be held January "a to 81.
The trip began when scores OF
walters and newsboys ran riotously
among the tables distributing extras
heralding the start Of the world
tour.
Each of the tables represented a
foreign country, though the nation
alities eventually became somewhat
mixed. A huge pasteboard Wash
ington Monument marked the start
ing point. A large sphinx stood in
Egypt" and China" was marked
by a batch of laundry tickets.
Eight acts of vaudeville car1ca-
turing the local automotive trade
and an elaborate musical revue were
features. A. r. Harrington was
toastmaster and C. II. Warrington
was in charge of the program.
Each member, as he entered, was
licensed and adorned with fac
smile of a District automobile IL
cense tag. Caps and goggles were
worn.
