The Taxi Fare

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
7 have asked a young man
20 be my escort at our prom,
and as I know I am to pay for
the bids. do I have to pay for
the taxicab, too, If he has no
car?
I insist that I don't, but
some of my friends say 1t is
my duty to do this. I am quite
puzzled. r.
No, it isn't necessary for you
to pay for the taxicab. This
is usually q trivial amount, and
paying it cannot be done with
out embarrassing the young
gallant whom you are inviting.
Book As D Gift
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am planning to give a book
to a new friend. It is probable
that I shall not see her much
more, and I'd like to show her
what her friendship has meant
to me in this way. Should I
write an inscription on the fly
leaf, or is this considered mar
ring" the book?
Would the use of a card be
better? S.
Either way Of sending the
book is proper, but writing an
inscription in the book is, natur-
ally, considered more intimate.
Since this friend is a new
friend" Of yours, I believe that
you should use the less personal
form, and write your message on
your card. Or, instead of a
card, you might like to write a
letter, telling her of your appre-
citation Of her friendship and Of
your good wishes for her happi-
ness always.

The Rhymins
Optimist

BY ALINE MICHAELIS
Like Some Bright Bird
IF I could gain
My hearts desire.
The toll, the pain,
The clogging mire
Would count as naughS
And I would deem
It cheaply bought.
My dearest dreaml
No price could be
Too high to pay,
II I could see
zone sun-filled day.
My hearts desire
Like some bright bird
Fit high and higher
Till, thrilled and stirred
My hand could clasp
It's song and fire:
Heaven in my grasp
With hearts desired

in addition to our regular work
or profession we are sure to dis
cover, and when too late, that
our spirit and enthusiasm for
new ideas are already gone.
For old age tends to follow the
lines of least resistance, and
that means a slumbering man
ner of living which is likely all
too soon to grip the individual
and leave him, as it were, lost
in a dense fog.
Therefore develop a liking for
books early in life. Learn to
love nature. Try to take en- in
terest in flowers and cultivate,
if possible, garden. Make q
collection of something: stamps,
beetles, butterflies, coins-any-
thing. Perhaps you can even
try your hand at drawing, paint
ing of sculpturing. Increase
likewise your interest in games
of all kinds. And. of course,
don't forget the stimulus to be
derived from current events and
conversation with congenial
friends.
Keeo your mental side alert
always and you may be certain
it won't fail you when you
need it most!
DR.. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint
A diebetic must always try
to select strengthening foods
that are free from carbohy-
drates, or nearly so. Among
these may be mentioned: the
muscle parts Of beef, veal, NUT
ton and lamb; heart, brains,
kidneys, sweetbreads and liver:
smoked meats and tongue, ham
and bacon; sausage containing
no bread; jellies; all fish that
is fried, boiled or broiled, but
not in bread crumbs.

The final pressure was put
on East when the declarer led
his last heart. West had to
trust that his partner could
stop spades, even if his eyes
had told him that such count
could not be the case. He knew
that the declarer held the
deadly 8 of clubs, which would
win If East let go his top card
Of that suit. No matter what
East did the declarer could
fulfill his small slam contract.
He made his 6-odd.

A Sisters Problem.

A sisters PFODAems
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My mother Is dead and I
am taking care Of my young
sister of IA, who insists on
going out every night Of the
week. In your opinion, how
often should a girl that age go
out, and at what time should
she be home?
Worried Sister.
BY going out, 7 take it you
mean having dates with boys,
and she's entirely too young
for that If she belongs to the
class known as mice girls"
A girl of ID shouldn't go
out at all unless she's going
to a party or to spend an even
ing with friends known to her
family.
You have quite a problem on
your hands, my dear, and I
hope you have some friend or
relative near at hand who will
be able to help you.

The opening lead was the

8 of clubs suggested the only
hope for a small slam was
to squeeze II that player held
the missing spade strength. A
finesse of dummy's @ lost to
the K, winning the one trick
which the declarer could az
ford to lose. The return lead
was Vests fourth-best club,
drawing declarer's 6, East's 10
and dummy's Ace. Things
looked blue for the declaring
side.
North ran off four rounds Of
trumps, winning the last round
in his hand. Opponents fol-
lowed suit twice. Upon the last

one club and one heart. East
one spade and one heart. Upon

To squeeze East the declarer

Lumber orders at the mills dropped

Now that the advisability of estab-

gard lines of industry must get into line,
is being considered by Gen. Johnson, it
is anticipated that additional hundreds
of trade associations will be Spurred
into action, further increasing the local
demand for business space and for
housing to take care of the additional
thousands of workers. This improve
ment in the rental market should con-
tinue uninterruptedly right through
what normally would be the dull rent
ing period for Washington.
There has, as yet, save in the case
of certain oil Interests, been no notice

the entire field.
The steel, ccal, oil, lumber, retail
dry goods and dying and cleaning in
terestS are already in contact with Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, industrial recovery
administrator, over tentatively offered
agreements or are approaching that
stage in developments. The National
Lumber Manufacturing Association and
allied groups have already added TO
their Washington staffs and are
planning supplementary additions, with
an expansion of office space as soon
as their codes have been approved and
permanent organization has been be-
gun.
Comprise Vanguard.
"These various lines of industry
merely comprise the vanguard in a
which, unless all signs fail, is destined
to make the city the industrial as well
as the political capital of the Nation.
THE office of Gen. johnson reports
that there are representatives Of more
than a score of national industrial as
SCciationS at work on codes here and
that new groups are arriving almost
daily. The local offices of the Fairchild
trade publications report virtually all OF
the needle trade groups in line and a
number of these have already estab-
lished Washington quarters"
The boards statement points out that
while a number of national trade as
sociations have for years maintained
offices in the Capital, such Offices have
for most part been active only during
sessions of Congress. These offices are
now being used as temporary bases of
operation by forces at work drafting
codes.

Services to Be Under Di- rection of Afford John
 Bradford Post No. 4

Funeral services for the late Le- Roy Vestal will be held Sunday afternoon at l o'clock from the chapel of the c. w. Carter Mor . tuary. under the auspices of Afford John Bradford Post No. 4, of this city, of which he was a charter member and for a long time served as Adjutant. The services will be ritualistic by the officers of the Post.
 Members of the Post are request ed by Post Commander w. E Hendrickson to meet at the Dug out at 12:3O pm. Members of the firing squad will wear uniforms and other members are asked to wear official caps. MT. Vestal was probably the most active member of the Post ever had and fol years headed it's service activities, said MT. Hendrickson today.
 MT. Vestal, who enlisted in the American Army in Seattle on May 28, 1917, just three days after his fifteenth birthday was the young est man to go to the World War from Alaska and one of the young est in the entire American Army duripg the war.
 In spite of his youth, MT. Vestal had an enviable record in the army and was awarded several medals for his outstanding service including the Croix de Guerre with Palm, from the French Govern ment, triple bars for taking active part in three major engagements in each of which he was cited and last year he was awarded the decoration of the Order of the Purple Heart by the American Government. When he was dis charged, he had four clasps on his Victory Medal representing the four major engagements in which he took part
 During the months he was ln France, from July 30, 1917 to De- cember ?, 1918, MT. Vestal took part, as machine gunner in the tank corps. in the engagement al Cantigny, and the major offensives at St. Mihiel, Argonne Forest, Toul Sector and Alsace Lorraine. He re- ceived machine gun wounds in the elbow and hand and in one en- gagement was the only survivor when the tank, in which he was gunner. was blown up.
 Enlisting as private, MT. Vestal was made a Corporal in Company B." 344th Tank Battalion beforc he was discharged from the army Continued on Page EighD
