Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.-A most
significant thing found among the
manuscripts for entrance in the Own
Your Home essay contest conducted
by the Washington Evening Star, as a
feature of National Thrift Week OBJ
servance, was an essay written by a
man who was born in slavery and who
recently sold a piece Of Washington
property for $4,000. The writer traced
the steps he took from slavery, begin
ming with his fathers purchase of three
acres of sand hill' at $1O0 an acre
and the subsequent erection Of little
log cabin to his own removal to Wash
ington SO years ago, when he pur-
chased a home here for $500, and
then on to the recent sale. The fact
that he never rented, he writes, is re
sponsible for his present status.

Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone Have Parted
Company and They VIII Have Their Names
Blotted Out as Man and Wife in the
Divorce Courts of St. Louis, Missouri

This is just the first skirmish in a
legal battle where a million dollars
is involved. But like all other insti-
tutions which reach the hands Of re-
ceivers and high powered lawyers,
very seldom is there anything left for
the principals.
While it has been generally rumored
that there was an arrangement be-
tween the heads of Poro College for
quite while, yet everything, because
of the prominence of the parties, was
kept at whisper until the Standard
News, local newspaper of St. Louis,
published what is called the inside
story of the whole thing, which
brought the matter to the fore. Now
almost daily little groups on the cor
ners, in the club houses, and in So
cieties are discussing the Malone case,
but in most instances attention is di-
dected to that mysterious woman who
never keeps a friend"
In this suit for divorce, while it is
not specifically mentioned, yet there
are intimations that some interesting
reading matter will be furnished the
public before the case is over. De-
ception. hypocrisy, intrigue and even
cruelty is in the wake.
Mrs. Malone could not Be reached
for a statement nor could Mr.. Malone
be located, but it is understood that
the Professor is ready to talk.

~ A young man Of whom I
think the world took me to a
party the other night. Coming
home in a car he asked for a kiss,
When this was refused he acted
angry. and finally said he was
angry, which broke my heart.
l never kissed a young man
goodnight, and they always have
come back so far. When getting
out of the car he said he would
call me up and was not angry at
all.
Do you think he Just wanted to
find out what kind of girl l was?
Do you think me a poor sport for
refusing to play kissing games at
parties? WONDERING.
I DO not consider you a poor
L sport, Wondering. On the
contrary, I think you are a very
good sport, indeed, to act accord.
ing to your honest convictions.
What is more, you have moral
courage and ideals. If your

sure that he will come back"
just as the other young men have,
and will think more Of you for
having principle as we'll as charm.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN

Prove a Good Friend
66HOW can I win the girl I
IL lover"

G6HOW can I win the girl l
IL love?"
This question Is the theme Of
hundreds Of letters 1 receive from
young men. And though my adj
vice is primarily for girls, yet
am glad to offer suggestions to
young men absorbed in the love
quest.
Dear Miss Fairfax" writes
Harold. II am in love with a
girl who goes out with many
other young men, and who does
not center her attentions on any
Of them. nor, IN fact, on any
young man in particular. She
seems Indifferent to any ap.
proaches l make. How can I
win her love? VIII she ever learn
to love me? HAROLD"
WIN her liking, her respect, her
w friendship first, Harold, be-
fore asking for her love. Do not
try to eliminate her other admir-
ers-you can't anyway.
Accept as much of her compan.
ionship as she is willing to accord.
Prove yourself a loyal friend.
Show her the small attentions,
such as occasional flowers and
candy, which women love.
Keep yourself very fit and ath-
letic and attractive, with healthy
skin and clear eyes. Do not let
nicotine poison, for instance, per.
meate your system. Keep your
weight where it should be. Take
pains with your dress and groom.
ing.
Make yourself a good dancer, a
jolly companion. Avoid all repel.
liant mannerisms and manners. Re-
member to say things and to show
appreciation, but without satiating
her with flattery. Also, work
hard for success in your business
or profession SO that you can af-
ford to support a wife.
If you and the girl you care for
are really congenlal, and suited to
each other, you should be able to
win her love by first winning her
friendship and respect, and prov
ing yourself a thoroughly attrac-
tive. dependable, likeable young
man.
