NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland
With TabascO Sauce

MATURE would have to work

beautiful as those that the beauty
parlors turn out every few min

A man sometimes remembers a
woman's first kiss. if he had
enough difficulty in getting Il;
but 1t is always the woman who
remembers the last kiss, whether
1t was one of regret or one Of
relief.
The man who never plays fair
In the loVe-game Is always cheat
ing three people; the woman he
is fooling. the woman he is kiss
ing-and himself.
Second marriage may be the
triumph of hope over experience;
but writing love-letters to a gold
digger appears to be the victory
Of optimism over senility.
The tired business mans con-
versation may sometimes rise
few notches above golf, stocks,
cocktails and women: but the
flight seldom lasts for more than
ten minutes: then he grabs a
parachute and leaps for the near

What a lucky man was King
Solomon that there were no party
telephones in those days where
the other 999 could listen In!
The pen that touches the hearts
OF men Is the pen that IL dipped
in the blood that flows from the
wounds in the heart of the writer.
But these days a man guards his
heart so we'll that 1t seldom gets
more than slightly scratched or
dented. Hence. many wits-but
few poets!
So often what a girl mistook for

Lots of people marry for what
they fondly call romantic love-
and then manage to stick together

REDUCTION In
KEY Rate FOR
CITY EXPECTED
Additional Equipment
And New Fire Sta
tions Installed; To
Cut Insurance Cost

Brownsville 10 expected to secure
a material reduction in fire insurance
rates as q result OF the completion Of
two fire stations. and the instaila-
tion Of additional fire trucks, hook
n ladder and other equipment.
The present key rate Of % cents
will be reduced to 10 cents in a few
months, in the opinion Of w. Il. Clint,
pioneer insurance man Of Browns
VILE, who states that the city has
complied with every requirement OF
the state insurance department.
This will give Brownsville the low
est key rate OF any city in South
Texas with the exception Of San An
tonic. which has a key rate Of "a
cents. Houston also has a Decent
key rate.
Brownsville has complied with ev-
cry requirement Of the state insur-
ance department." Mr. Clint said,
land I fee! assured the key rate viii
be reduced TO 70 cents as soon as the
state department inspects and passes
upon the new fire stations, equipment
and various other improvements. A
further reduction of 5 or 6 cents
could probably be secured II the city
installed a fire alarm system and a
standpipe Of 10000 gallons capacity,
but this could hardly be done at this
time"
Good Fire Record
B~rownxville's good fire record since
1915 is also an important factor IN
maintaining a low key rate for the
city. Due largely TO the efficiency Of
the fire department fire loss IN the
city has been reduced almost TO the
minimum, Mr.. Clint said. During the
past twelve years no loss heavy
enough to seriously affect the record
Of the city has occurred.
The reduction Of the key rate TO
10 cents will bring the rate 10 APP
p~roximately 70 per cent Of that N Ell
feet in 1872. when efforts were ilrst
made to install a modern water sys-
TEN and fire fighting equipment. Inc
key rate in 1912 was rs cents. I'M
provements in the pumping equip
ment that year reduced the rate 20
IS cents in 1913. During that year
extensive improvements we're mace
on the plant and the water system
extended, with the result that the
rate was reduced to 81 cents m 1915
In 1915 q rate OF IS cents was Sc
cured and in 1928 this was reduced
90 70 cents Last year another t.
duetion of / cent was obtained.

Don't both get angry at the same
time.
Don't nag.
Don't argue. Even when you
know you are right. it pays to adj
nit you are wrong.
Continue to treat each other
just as you did before you were

OLD FASHIONS ARE 0N THE DECLINE Washington Notices Differences
 in Customs

Washington, Jan. If R-The ebb and flow of fashion Is retiring into history many of the customs in dress and manners once characteristically a part of the official life on Capi- tol Hill.
 The frock coat, the conventional dress in the days of Clay and Web ster fast is disa appearing. It is worn regularly now by only a few. The broad brimmed hat is being hung on the rack of tradition, and many of the old familiar forms of salutation are being dropped for phrases of the present day. In the cloakrooms, the cigaret and five to twenty cent cigar fill the air once made blue by the humble stogie or cheroot.
 In the house even that well-known form Of addressing members, as old as congress itselfy-"the gentleman from Tennessee" or whichever may be his state--is threatened. During the session year ago, official eXcep- tion was taken on two occasions to the use of you" in addressing col leagues in the heat of debate.
 The senate has been by far the stronger bulwark against change,

and it is a very useful sheet.
 The Congressional Record gives the daily report of all proceedings of the senate and house of repre- Isentatives in Washington. The de- bates are published verbatim and an- other important feature is that the vote of each senator and congress- man is listed by name, under the heading. nays, or not voting. It is thus possible for constituents to know just what stand their repre- sentatives take upon any given question.
 Still another helpful publication is the Drama Calendar. which is weekly guide to theatrical and mus ical entertainments published by the New York Drama league. Here may be found a brief but excellent char lacterization of each. There is re- view of each new production as 1t is brought out. Musical comedies are entered under that heading. and each has a succinct summary. The best
 motion pictures are also included, and particularly helpful are sugges- | tions of plays for young people. The | title Tn Our Foreign Theaters, " Icovers performances in Chinese,
