Abutting Property Owners
Protest Paving System

Editor, Times:
You have heard much with
regard to the system of high
way paving our District High
way Department has. One OF
these is the system known as
the center strip system" grant,
ing permits for paving Of the
two sides of a street by the de-
veloper, leaving the center un-
paved strip to be paved by the
District. This system is in
force in Marietta Park section
approximately 100 per cent.
Fifth Street from Longfellow to
Peabody (six blocks was paved
by this system and all property
owners were charged for the
cost of same when purchasing
their homes from the builders.
A year ago, the Highway De
partment of the District con
demned the old paving, which
had only been placed approx
mately three years, and ordered
same to be taken up and the
entire street repaved. This
was followed by a decision OF

Greater Interest in District
I'm Next House

Of unusual interest to this city and to the country is that
this winters session Of Congress provides reapporonment
under the 1880 census the cities will gain fifty seats in the
House over the farming regions.
The House already limited membership in that body in
the future to 436 seats present. and with reapporon
et accordance with that there will be notable changes
Twenty States will lose 26 seats after next March and ten
States will gain that many. The greats Of California
alone gains nine seats Michigan gains four and Texas three
Missouri heaviest loser will be three seats short Of her
ent representation.
There already suggestions that the loss of many seats
to the cities may bring about permanent coalition between
the agricultural South and the West.
Before the Congressional elections in November the egs
tures Of States affected by reapporonment must redsrt
their Congressional representation.
The addition to the House membership of many new
statesmen from the cities may have important bearing Dis
, trict Of Columbia affairs in the House.
Rural members of the House little about the municipal
problems Of the District arising in Congress and there is
prejudice the part Of against Washington taxpayers
few go far capitalize their preudces for in
their districts It the old political of class against
class.
Representatives from cities better acquainted with city
problems and administration and take interest in them
There at least strong hope for the District that the

BY Elsie Robinson

sex bogy, as the wise doctor
says. But my personal hunch
is that we've just dragged it
out Of the shrubbery, and made
it a free-for-all.
Now, I'VE nothing to say
against sex, per Sc. It's a grand
institution, and life would be
pretty flat without it. And since
God invented it, humans should
undoubtedly learn about it
which any alert student can do
in a remarkably brief period.
But. having learned, I protest
that we should lay off and think
about something else, once in a
while. It's well enough to take
sex off the barn wall. But does
that necessarily imply that it
should be installed in the living
room to the exclusion OF all the
other 563, ,874, ,239 topics Of hui
man interest?
There is an even created side
to this picture. In ceaslng TO
be a bogy, sex has become a cult.
There was time when the ex-
ploitation of physical charms
was taboo among women OF re-
finement, Now every female be-
tween the ages of 8 and so firmly
believes that a husbands faith
fulness depends entirely upon
his wife's S. A.-and proceeds
to bend all her energies to the
development Of the same. But
s. A.-as our divorce records
prove-is the most unreliable OF
bonds between a man and a wo-
man. For if you have S. A., Sis
ter, it's q cinch that some other
lady win have one even better.
and if that's your only way OF
holding a man, you're certainly
out of luck.
AS a matter Of fact, a good
sense of humor, a neat hand at
Waffles and q willingness to go
on fishing trips will hold a hus-
band longer and harder than all
the, come-hither that ever was
Invented. But who wants to be.
lieve sense with all this smart
talk flying around?
