London. Oct. 1s (UPl-A crusA- ins blow has bsen dealt b the mus tachs. Critics Aefs declare that the voices of mustache and beard wear ing actors. in talking films are less distinct than those of their clean shaven colleagues.
 Tonsorial experts predict that this will be the death-knel for the mus tache which for the last Ave years has been making slow but steady steps toward renewed popularity.

Noted Authority
On a Serious
Problem
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Al Authority on the Problems d
Love and Marriage

One OF the hardest things in
life is to make decisions. And
It does seem sometimes as though
nearly all the important decisions
those that determine the veal or
woe, success or FAILURE of the
years to come get crowded into
the decade Of youth and budding
maturity.
The problem that faces Poor
Girl, Is which of two men she
shall marry. Off-hand, that may
seem an easy decision to make.
But a girl may get SO tangled
in the net OF circumstances that
she feels incapable OF using her
own free. will and ciear-headed
reason. Here is the letter in
which Poor Girl" tells her story:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About seven years ago, while
visiting In another town, / met
very handsome young man. At
the time was engaged to an
other, although my parents OBJ
jected to my seeing him. They
asked me to break my engage

but I loved the other man.

the company of several men for

man.

good position and earn 500

now, pay the money / have saved

so on working until he can land

The man to whom ] was. en-
gagged when met this man has

year after we broke our engage
ment. / believed he married for

flat failure. His wife was not
true to him. He left her and
later divorced her.
He attends the same church

dates with me. Do you know, /
believe I could love him again.
I know he would be willing to
marry me. He told my brother
that I am the only girl on earth

for nay sake now.

WASHINGTON
IN SPRING

America has long made its sea-
sonal pilgrimages to those spots
favored by nature with pleasing
climate and topography, the south
ern coast resorts in winter, the
Great Lakes and the mountains
of the eastern and northwestern
States in summer.
Now we are becoming conscious
OF a new note, the attraction of
the historic linked with the beauti-
full, which is Turing added thou
sands to the national city of
Washington each spring. Consider
IONA Gale. the novelist, writing
In Harper's Bazaar for April:
lone used to go to Florence in
April to meet the spring and fol-
to Washington to meet the spring
and stays there to watch it bloom.
For America Washington is be-
coming all that the cherry or
chards are to Japan--a place for
pilgrimage and for renewal. The
surve of the shore line of the
Potomac is as beautiful as the
curve of the shore line Of many
a storied bay. The water of the
river is as blue as the water at
Corfu.

ington but serves to sharpen the
present. Here a balcony from
which Washington spoke. there a
window where Lafayette bowed.
there the streets which Lincoln
walked: halls OF historic councils,
porticos through which stately
vanished figures have stepped"
The significance? That America
has reached an age OF self appre-
citation and her people a sense of
citizenship which grows always
greater as the wears add their
glamour to her national shrines.
