The letter sent you which was
signed Railroad Man" is a case
in point. His ignorance is SO
colossal that he, unbeknown to
himself, gives himself away. His
attack on you is so viruIent that
it is obvious that he is conscious
ly, or more likely unconsciously,
fighting against the very thing he
condemns. Such invective is
called forth only by a great fear
of the very thing he inveighs
against.
really feel very sorry for the
girl he marrleS. It's not at all
likely she will find him the pure
young man he has made himself
out to be. More than likely he
will be ruled by lust. I'm afraid
his ignorance of basic human ma
ture has shown him up for what
he is.
I'm not given to writing letters
to the papers, but so unwarranted
an attack on your excellent COL
umn, and the obvious nature of
the man, have prompted it.
AN OLD LAWYER.
Answer I really owe Railroad
Man vote of thanks since he has
stimulated so many people to write
such interesting letters to the COL
umn. 1 feel particularly indebted
to you for taking the time to write,
because your profession has &C
quainted you with such variety of
human problems that you can speak
with real authority.
It is interesting to note that al
though sexual difficulties cause 90
per cent of the divorces, the result
tant incompatibility is not recog-
nized as grounds for divorce. The
law does not sympathize with the
unhappinesS of two incompatible
people until one of them finds some
one else compatible.
Fortunately, the term cruel and
inhuman treatment can be stretched
to cover a multitude of sins. When
a divorce is granted because a huS-
band was in the habit OF giving his
wife black eyes, or because a wife
was too handy with the symbolic
frying pan, the judge knows that
these indignities arise from deeply
rooted dissatisfactions The enlight-
ened always see roundabout sexual
outlet in frequent explosions of
temper.
Dear Jane Jordan-I Just want
to give my hearty commentator
and cooperation to one who has
dared to come out with the truth
about a subject that always has
existed, but has been covered up
and pointed at as something
shameful and vulgar.
1 am one of those young girls
who gained my knowledge in a
distorted manner from playmates.
Your column has helped me to see
things more clearly, and I admire
you greatly for your broad-mind-
ed and clear-Sighted thinking.
I'm a daughter of divorce. and
I've paid in many ways for my
parents mistakes. Parents think
they are terribly unselfish, but
they really are the most selfish
people on earth. I really love
them very much, even in their
blindness, and rather than hurt
them I would ruin my life. But
would they do the same for me?
We young people DO not like to
be commanded to do something or
criticised because we don't. To
be asked in a kindly way is what
we want, to have some one under
stand the reasons for our actions.
REBELLIOUS AMERICAN
GIRL.

satin pumps should belong to gay
young girls with dancing feet and

Workers see many a drama as the
articles pass from the shop to a
bright-eyed purchaser. An exotic
frivolity of feminine wear is clutched
tightly by somebody's maid, who
means to be lady of style. Some
one else is cold and longs for some
thing soft and warm.

IF they are a couple with lit
tie money, they probably won't be
able to have a vacation again
for some time and the husband
won't regret having spent the
money he did.
If they are a wealthy couple,
they will be just as happy look
ing back on their honeymoon as
the poorer couples because the
rest of their lives may be so taken
up with social activities that per-
haps they, too, won't have another
vacation together.
MY advice is to take honey
moon, by all means. Even if it
doesn't turn out as well as you had
hoped, you'll at least never have
to worry about what you may have
missed"
MFRS. GELINE MCDONALD
AVA BOWMAN of Richmond, Va,
president of the National Fedora
ton of Business and professional
Women's Clubs; makes plea for
a honeymoon for young couples
even if it is only a short one.
THE psychological effect upon
a young couple who get away
from the protection of parental
roof and interested friends, out
into an environment where no
one knows or cares about them,
is a good experience to make
them realize that they will need
to stand alone in the world and
work out their problems together
in a world Indifferent to their I'LL
innate success or failure" is her
reasoning.
"a short honeymoon, of some
thing less than week even,
which has as its objective the re-
turn to establish a comfortable
and happy home where both en-
ter actively into the actual labor
of preparation, is a good begn-
ming for happiness" she contin-
ued.
Joint labor makes each appre-
ciate a home, leaves short time
to dwell upon the little differences
of habits and tastes until work.
ing together to found the home
blends such differences into
happy combination, by mutual
concessions. A honeymoon is the
best possible start toward happy
marriage"
NNE MAN comes forward with
" an emphatic opinion. Robert
Buckner, prominent in the bust
ness and advertising field, is all
for homogeneous.
"The honeymoon" he explains,
''is an unacceptable period of life,
or state of mind.
When you grant that marriage is
a desirable state of affairs, but
argue that the honeymoon is no
way to begin it, your reasoning
is like that of the dear old maid
who loved omelets, but couldn't
quite bring herself to break the
eggs.
Homogeneous" he continued,
like other forms of sudden eleva-
ton from the earth, do produce
some tragedies, but what does the
trip have to do with it?
What CHASTITY horrors can
travelling produce which can't be
experienced at home? People
make mistakes without regard to
scenery"

With three-fifths of the re-
quired $1,250,000 capital stock and
surplus of the new Hamilton Ma
tional Bank subscribed, COM
mittees of the seven participant
ing banks are hoping to bring the
stock selling campaign to an early
close.
A total of $750,0O0 in stock has
been subscribed by stockholders
and depositors of interested banks,
according to Capt. Chester Wells,
chairman of the general subscrip-
ton committee. A balance of
$5OO,OOO remains to be obtained.
The deadline. for winding up
the stock selling campaign will
not be definitely set until after
the arrival of Edwin C. Graham,
president, from Florida on Sun
day.
Whether the Franklin National
Bank will become a member of
the merger or will be able to re-
open independently remained one
of the intriguing angles of the
situation today.
Officers of the Franklin claim
that consent to the separate re.

FOUR CHAPLA|NS
GET PAY GUT

Four chaplains at st. Eliza
beth's Hospital got bit of un-
welc0me news today from the
General Accounting Office.
Five chaplains are employed
there to conduct services for two
months each during the year. no
services being held in July and
August. They are paid at the rate
of 500 year each. and are
called upon frequently to officiate
at funerals and on other occa-
sions when their services are
needed.
The hospital administration was
in doubt as to the workings Of
the economy act, so far as they
are concerned, and questioned
Comptroller General j. R. Nc
Carl as to what extent their pay
should be cut.
His ruling is that any on duty
since April of this year get
a IS per cent cut. but the clergy
man who officiated in January
and February gets his full 500
for this year.

QUASHES
S|EGAL CASE

Charges of being a fugitive
from justice in Pennsylvania
against Abner. Siegal. once a
prominent Washington attorney
now serving 18 months in prison,
we're dismissed in Police Court
today by Judge Gus. A. Schuldt.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Michael F. Keogh asked that
the matter be continued, but
Judge Schuldt ruled that there
had been a number of continu-
ances already granted and dis
missed the action.
The charges grew out of SiegaIS
activities in connection with a
client in Wilkesbarre who was
facing a murder charge. Siegal
was convicted of offering Harry
Dean, clerk at the District Jail,
$3.50 to fake a commitment paper
showing that his client was in jail
here at the time of the murder.

SERVICE
COURT PLAN
REVISED
Commission to Act As Appeal
Board Under New Proposal,
1t Is Reported

Revision of the plan of Repre-
sentative William I. Sirovich for
a civil service court of appeals
was tentatively agreed upon today
by Mr.. Sirovich and Harry B.
Mitchell, president of the Civil
Service Commission, who, this
afternoon, will confer with the
other members of the commission
on the new proposal.
Pending action by the whole
commission, Representative Siro-
vich was reticent about the new
draft today, but it is understood
that it calls for a liaison officer,
as originally suggested by the
Sirovich bill, and an appellate
board, which might be the COM
mission itself.
The idea is to incorporate the
new plan as rider to the indie
pendent offices bill.
It is expected that there will
be numerous appeals filed fol
lowing the prospective dismiSsals
and furloughs in the Federal
service. Many appeals will be
forthcoming, it is expected, from
the 203 Navy Department en-
ployes who have already been Sc
lected for dismissal,
The commission has also had
under consideration the prospec,
tive inquiry into appointments Of
persons from states whose quotas
in the departmental service have
been filled.
