Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
would like your advice on
my problem. I'm %, have a
nice car and fair position. I'm
working with a number of girls
in our business. but there is
one girl I really would like to
have for my own. She seems
to care for me but never gives
me a date. She seems crazy
about the boys who run around
with all the wild girls in town
and take advantage of any girl
they can. She is a clean kid
and stays home nights, doesn't
care for wild parties or dances
or drink. I could find some
other girl like her, possibly, but
she seems to be my ideal.
r! A. S.
Perhaps you've been looking
at this girl from afar. and she
doesn't dream of your genuine
interest in her. Alas, that's
so often the way! The un-
worthy walk off with the prize
while we stand-looking. Just
take your courage in hand and
invite the nice girl to go some
place with you. Tell her that
her friendship means a great
deal to you. A good movie
will do very well for a begin
hing. Say the reason you ad-
mire her is that she's different
from the rest, I think you'll
have no trouble in acquiring
this girl for a friend, if you
don't get high hat"

BROWNE SCHOOL
SAFETY TEST
Occupancy Delayed While
Engineers Inspect Foun-
dation Wall.

Occupancy Of the new Hugh NJ
Browne Junior High School, in Kings
man Park, Northeast Washington, which
oStenSibly has awaited completion Of the
approaches to the building, actually ha;
been delayed while District Of Colum-
bia engineers inspected a foundation
wall to determine its degree OF safety.
This was revealed yesterday, when
Workmen were found relaying a portion
of the tile and cement floor in the
school cafeteria.
wall Called Safe.
The examination, ordered when the
cafeteria floor was seen by the District
inspectors to sag, resulted, how
ever. in assurances being given at the
District Building that the wall is safe
The Commissioners, however, have not
yet accepted the structure, and will not
do so until the neWly-laid floor has beer
approved upon inspection.
According to Lieut. Karl B. Schilnng,
in charge of the District of Columbia
repair shop the sagging Of the cafe
terra floor was due to normal settling
Of the walls and resulted from a pre-
mature laying of the floor. Had the
walls been allowed to settle first. Lieut.
Schilling declared, the floor, laid al
the proper time, would have rem aimed
in position.
Meanwhile, the Browne Junior High
School, a sorely needed addition to the
cOlOred school equipment afforded By
the public school system in Northeas
Washington, stands otherwise com.
pleted, its furniture virtually installed
and its personnel appointed as of Feb.
ruary /, the day on which it was to
have been occupied. At the last meet
iTfr nF hn ~ #
ever the School Board gave to Garnet
c. Wilkinson. first assistant superin-
tendent Of schools, permission to oc-
cupy the building If and when the ap-
proaches to the school are put in pass
able condition. Following this action,
Rabbi Abram Simon, president of the
board, conferred with District building
engineers in an effort to accelerate the
road work.
The Board Of Education at its meet
ing this afternoon is receiving two
communications from the District
Building with respect to the approaches
and written following DR.. Simons visit
to the District Building One advised
the school authorities that temporary
walks then were being constructed.
The second advised the School Board
that completion Of the walkWays for
the building could not be promised be-
fore April l.
1t was after the school authorities
had undertaken to accelerate work on
approaches to the building, however,
that the delay in accepting the school
by the Commissioners was discovered
accidentally, by the school authorities.
On a routine visit Of school officers q
"IO-foot-square" pit was found dug in
a narrow cOurtway, Just outside the
cafeteria, and large area Of wall tiling
and floor surfacing had been removed.
The school people never were advised
of this factor with respect to the failure
of the Commissioners to accept the
building.

TO REDUCE ENTRIES
IN TRACK AND FIELD
MEET AT UNIVERSITY
Only Winners in District Con.
tests Will Be Eligible
in Future

Decision to restrict the number OF
entries in future state track ana flelo
meets at the University Of North Da-
kota to boys who have proved their
ability was reached at q meeting OF
the board of control Of the state high
school league here Thursday.
Action was taken on recommends
ton of Jack West, university athletic
director, who pointed out that many
boys have been entered In the past
and have enjoyed the university's
hospitality but never even competed
in the events. Others, he said, entered
events for which they h1i no A:epar-
alton and no previous experience. HIS
illustration was so boys entered IN
the mile run, some Of whom had new
er run q mile in their lives.
The basis of participation. details
of which have not been decided. Will
be on the record of accomplishment
at meets earlier in the season.
Eligible for entry at Grand FORKS
will be the first, second and tnlrd
place winners at the meet held an
nually at the state agricultural COL
lege and first and second place WIN
ners in other recognized meets.
Some exceptions to the rule may
be made in the case of individuals
from small schools who have no op-
portunity to participate In meets
prior to the state competition.
Reasons for the decision were the
aniversity's desire to reduce expenses
md to restrict the field to worth
while competitors.
The board also Is considering q
proposal to insure the cost Of caring
for athletes injured in high school
competition, members said Tnurs-
day.
In Wisconsin, 1t was pointed out,
such an arrangement Is now being
tried and the finances Of the North
Dakota organization have reached
point where similar action may be
feasible.
In the 20 odd years Of its existence,
the board never had much money un-
til it brought the state basketball
tournaments to Bismarck Mandan,
according to L. A. White, Minot. Sc
cretary- treasurer.
Every tournament held in the twin
Missouri cities, however, has made
money until on July l, 1881, the bal
ance was $5O5418. No provision has
been made for distribution OF this
money back to the participating
schools or for the PRONUNCIATION OF In
terest in high school athletics. 1t IS
this matter which the board now Is
considering.

"YOu are attempting to cure
an emergency condition by an
expensive and unavoidable
remedy. The Government will
have on its hands a perpetual

those feeding securities into it.
The Government will end up
with large amounts of fore

COUNTER MOVE
FACES PLANS
Of HOOVER
Mills Proposals Are Declared
BY Rainey to Be "Woe-
fully insufficient"

Democratic leaders of the
House, splitting with the Ad-
ministration, today prepared to
place their own taxation and
economy proposals before the
nation as a means of balancing
the national budget.
- Following the declaration of
Speaker Garner that President
Hoover had failed to promote
rea! economy, Representative
Rainey of Illinois, Democratic
leader, characterized the Tres
ury's tax proposals as "woefully
insufficient"
Survey Contemplated
The first step in the economy
program will be creation OF a
special committee to study means
of abolishing and restricting Gov
ernment bureaus to cut expenses.
The House Ways and Means
Committee met to consider the
Treasury's additional tax pro-
gram, which included a 1-cent-a-
gallon gasoline tax and a 7 per
cent tax on domestic electric
light and gas bills.
Rainey said:
"The eaSury originally
recommended taxes tOtaling
1920, 100000, then admitted a
mistake of over $4OO, O,OOO,O 900,
and came back with a request
to raise the total.
"The Treasury, even in its
new estimates, does not take
into consideration expenses in
cident to the $500, 100000 Re-
construction Corporation, $685.
100000 land bank bill, possible
direct relief funds or veterans
bills, and will not even esti-
mate the increased interest on
the national debt"
The committee continued its
efforts to draft a selective sales
tax to replace many heavy bur.
dens on particular industries
urged by Mills.
Rainey for Sales Tax
AS chairman of the subcommit-
tee handling the sales tax matter,
Rainey said the tax is entirely
feasible.
The new economy committee"
to be created will work N:'h

tions for House action during the
