CIVIC GROUPS TO AID IN

Thru the office of the Washington

which is working in conjunction
with the Washington Press assoc

that the entire state is awakening

Another element that is expect

THE CITY HALL

TIME purchase of the Beach block
Il for city hall purposes is so OBJ
viously the thing to do that it is
surprising, in way that it had
not been done long ago. 1t looks
like right good business for the
city, or anyone else, for that mat
ter, to purchase the property at
the price that it is being offered.
With comparatively few changes
in the interior arrangement the
property can be made to serve the
city's purposes for years to come.
And perhaps the best feature of
it is, and certainly the one that
will make the biggest hit with the
individual taxpayer, the fact that
the building and its improvement
can be purchased with the money
that is now being spent on rent.
The city is setting a fine exam
pie in movement that should be
more generally adopted in this
community: Own Your Own Home

WASHINGTON NEEDS MEN

NATURES alchemy covered this
IN state with a fertile soil, crys-
tallized deep in her hills wealth
of mineral resources, and the cur
rents of the ocean bestowed as a
benediction a climate unsurpassed
Statisticians delight to herald the
wonderful natural opportunities of
the state of Washington. These re-
sources are unsurpassed, but the
thing that will give this state lead
ership in the councils of the
worlds business or intellectual ac-
tivities is not lumber, nor mineral
wealth, nor soil products nor ocean
commerce, but men.
Washington hills for ages were
covered with trees and lined with
mineral wealth; for thousands of
years Washington streams, burbl-
ing to the sea, held locked within
their arms the greatest power po-
tentialities of the continent; Wash
ington soil and Washington CHM
ate were here when the world was
young but it all meant nothing un-
til citizenship began to develop
here.
It will all mean nothing in the
end if theses great resources are
simply utilized to pile up dollars
without regard to the development
of those human qualities that spell
real success. With her great OPP
portunities Washington residents
may grasp the highest type of CIV
ilization with the minimum of
physical effort and her great basic
wealth offers chance of achieve
ment for her people under the
most favorable conditions.
Nature has done so much in pre-
pairing this state for man that
now the call has been issued for
the Awakening of Washington it
seems fitting that every citizen
should be aroused to complete
realization of the blessings he en-
joys and a determination to assist
to the utmost in building upon the
foundation at hand a citizenship in
which the keys shall be character.

Dear Miss Flo:
Mine is the eternal man problem
how can attract them? / have
just about everything girl needs
to make her happy-but haven't
a boy friend. Because / will not
drink, smoke OR pet never have
date. Do you think am right
in adhering to my ideals? Do you
think that, some day I will find a
man who can love and appreciate
girl who has a higher ambition
in life than just to have good
time? l don't mind waiting, bat
sometimes I become rather DIS
couraged when l see the type Of
girl men seem to fall for and
marry.
] am no prophet where men
are concerned, and / don't know
whether your Prince Charming is
on his way to you or not-but I
can tell you one thing for certain,
and that is that even if your
Prince Charming never makes his
appearance you will be lot bet
ter off than you will be if you
take, in your despair, a callow lit
tie jellybean without two ideas in
his head. 1t is only the woman
who is fortunate enough to make a
good marriage who is better off
than the girl who does not marry.
While love and marriage are
highly desirable blessings they
need not be the whole of life, and
any girl who sacrifices her high
ideals in her effort to win a hus-
band, pays too high price for the
sort of a man she might attract
for he certainly could not be Of
the type desirable as husband.
No girl makes a mistake by ad-
herring to her ideals, Personally, I
doubt very much if the girls who
pet, drink and smoke culinary the
modest, self-respecting girls. AL
though l have no statistics in the
matter, am Of the opinion that
their chances are equal. Men do
not love girls because they drink,
smoke or pet-they may love
them in spite Of it. Neither
does a man love a girl because
she doesn't do these things-al-
though he may be very glad she
doesn't. He loves her because there
is something kindred in their nat

ures that strikes a spark. After
that. nothing else matters.
One of the mysteries that has
never been solved in why certain
girls are magnets that attract ev-
cry man they meet, while other
girls, probably just as charming
and good-looking in every way.
never have a date. Frankly, I be-
lieve that if a girl is attractive to
men, it doesn't make the least bit
Of difference that she will not
drink, pet or smoke. He finds
her companionship sufficiently
interesting and stimulating. It's
a sad fact, but it's true, that there
are many women who would never
be popular with the opposite sex
regardless of the concessions they
might make, and my advice to
those girls who do not make a
spontaneous hit with men is to
stop wasting their time and their
energies in trying to attract them,
and find some real interest.
The queer thing about it is that
as soon as you reach the point
where you are Indifferent to men
and don't care much whether they
notice you or not, they will prob
ably be crazy about you.
And if you have everything else
in the world to make you happy.
why worry SO much over the man
problem, anyway? 1t seems that
girls rut the attentions of men
above ey rything else on earth,
and feel that if they are not being
rushed by some men-be he ever
so insignificant everything else
is dust. And that is truly tragic.
However, if we try, we can find
many worthwhile consolation priz-
es when we miss getting the thing
we wanted most.
