The Once Over

BY Il. Z. PHILLIPS

delivered to a girls college after the manner Of
Prof. Rogers recent "snob' talk to the boys at Mas
sachusetts Tech).
Ladies of the graduating class: You are about to
leave these c~loisters and go out into the cold world.
Your paths will be varied. Many Of you will become
wives and mothers. Some Of you will become secreta-
ries Of state, advertising writers, lady stock brokers,
interior decorators and assistant attorney generals in
charge Of prohibition enforcement. Others will be-
come channel swimmers, members Of sister acts in
vaudeville, trapeze performers and chow-dog fanciers.
Practically all Of you will become terrible bridge play
ers. At such a time as this a little serious advice from
old cookoo is not out OF order.
BE crazy about yourself. Remember, where you
are personally concerned the best is none too good.
BE vain! Be priggishl 81 impossible! You will
find It just as easy to marry the boss's son as his Of
flee boy. Easier. If all / hear is true.
office boys never stay awake long enough for
you to interest them in the proposition. Even should
you hold an office boys attention a little and send
him for the marriage license he would either forget
1t entirely, or be gone a week or two and return with
a pot Of glue or a pair Of shears or something else by
mistake. The chances are he would never come back.
Office boys are like that. But bosses sons retain
better. They will get the idea quicker. BY all means
get yourself a bosss son.
Dress. speak and act like a lady. Get your hair
done three times a week. Never buy a frock without
en- extra pair Of brevities. Never wear the same
pearls at night that you wore all day at the office.
Keep your white shoes whitenod.
Belong to the best clubs, seek the company OF
women who amount to something, women who have
made good, like Mrs. Gam, Maureen- circuit and
Helen Wills. Believe that you are in every way big
ger and better than the working girls. Remember
that 1t Is up to you to take the rule away from the
night club ,hostesses, the George White chorus girls.
the Western Women's Professional Baseball Nine, and
the Lady Cyclists Club.
"Never 60 motoring with strangers below you So
cially. DO not neck with persons whose financial
future is not we'll established. Avoid parking in the
cheaper priced cars. II Is just as easy to win him III
q Mercedes as in a Chevrolet.
do not allow yourself to be rescued at fires BY
fremen you have never met. Wait for the man worth
while.
With these few words. / close, thanking you for
your kind attention and assuring you that if elected
I will sclve the farm problem and give a living wage
to all"

Washington Letter
BY &. PLUAINER
Of Washington gossip

WASHINGTON. June 12-Bits Of Washington gossip
picked Up at random:
No matter how much spicy gossip and conjecture
Alice Roosevelt Longworth may stir up in Washington
by her refusal to yield to rules Of precedence. she
long has followed the policy OF never giving inter
views"
All Of which recalls a story from an erstwhile re-
porter Of +le days when Roosevelt was President.
He long had cherished the ambition to obtain an
interview with Princess Alice" one day he persuad-
cd a friend Of the Roosevelt family to present him as
the son Of a well-known United States senator. The
better part Of an afternoon was spent in extracting
material for an excellent news story.
On the eve Of the reporters departure Alice in
nocently commended on his flair for newspaper work.
facedly he confessed his identity. Alice was surprised
and then amused.
Needless to say the story was never printed.

BUY A BOND?
There are two or three young women who cover"
the executive offices OF the white house as faithfully
as any Washington newspaper correspondent. They
are representatives Of bonding houses. waiting for the
list Of nominations that the President sends to the
senate.
All postmasters. collectors Of customs and internal
revenue are required to post a bond as insurance that
they viii discharge their duties faithfully. The act
ul appointment depends on confirmation by the
senate but most Of those named are certain to be
confirmed. However. before his name is placed on
the payroll the treasury department must have his
prescribed bond on file.
The bonding companies want to know as quickly
as possible the names and addresses Of all persons
nominated for postmaster OF collector. The quickest
way is to have some one on duty waiting for them
at the white house.
SERGEANT
The older residents OF Washington. particularly. hail
the appearance of John Philip sousa on the air. They
still remember him in the days when as a marine
sergeant he marched up Pennsylvania avenue leading
the marines band.
Ii has been a long time since he turned the marine
band baton over to Fancuilli. who straightaway got
himself court martialed for refusing to play a sousa
marchc when ordered to do so by a marine lieutenant
band a commissioned officer.
sousa was born in Washington. the son Of a
Portuguese father. who was himself a member Of the
marine band.
President Hoover's fondness for angling has caused
a real estate boom in a hitherto comparatively I'm
known section near Washington.

would welcome such request, but II
it should be made and pressed by the
Federal Government, some persons be-
lieve Virginia would hesitate to refuse.
There are many Virginia lawyers who
not only regard the legality OF the
retrocesSion act of 1916 as purely
academic question, but who claim that
there is no real sentiment anywhere,
either in Arlington County, the District
of Columbia, in Congress or the coun-
try at large, for an enlargement Of the
District by extending its boundaries
into Virginia or Maryland. They say;
therefore. that there is no substantial
ground for agitating the question at
this time, or later.
They insist that Arlington County
like the nearby counties of Maryland is
progressing at a normal rate. They
deplore the present movement, declaring
that it cannot be successful and Will
only result in injury to the county.
Along these lines of cleavage Sentl-
ment has split. Apparently time only
will disclose whether the renewed agita-
ton has any solid foundation or is
mere flash in the pan.

road officials that the two plans. one
for the overpaSS and one for the under

this hearing would be held at night
and on the day that it is arranged the
full membership of the commission will
come to Montgomery County and make
a tour of the roads which have been
approved for new construction this year.
The State road body also informed
the county officials that the plans for
the underpass. which is to carry the
new Silver Spring -to-BetheSda highway
under the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
tracks Just west of Georgia Avenue
would be completed within a few days
and that bids for the construction by
private contractors would be sought.
Early Completion Expected.
It is expected mat this part of this
road will be completed within the next
90 DAYS. At the same time the COM
mission approved the design and loca-
ton of the proposed bridge which is to
carry this highway over Rock Creek

said, on the Ray brothers farm. The
proposed new bridge will be So feet

District line, $4,000.
Stretch Appropriation.
The county authorities decided upon
these 9-fOot highways instead of the
usual 16-foot highways in order to make
the road appropriation for the current
year stretch into as many sections OF
the county as possible. In addition to
the 9 feet of concrete it is proposed to
put on either side of these roads 3-foot-
wide stone shoulders, making in all a
l5-foot-wide part surface road.
In addition to these projects which
were approved by the commission. the
Montgomery County Board of Commits
sionerS today wrote to the commission
asking it to include in the construc-
ton for the current year the following
projects: A road from Dickerson toward
Martinsburg, 100000: from Dickerson
to Sugarloaf Mountain, $4,000; Pooles-
vile toward Edwards Ferry, $40, 900, and
from Laytonsville toward Goshen,
10000
These projects were included in the
1927 program, but up until this time
there has been no funds available with
which to construct them, but the last
Legislature authorized this work and the
county commissioners want them in
cluded in the current construction.
