Lost His Job; Couldn't Give Her
a Ring


a Ring
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I was going with a young lady
of my own age; that is q years,
for five years. A year ago last
Christmas we broke up. I prom
ised her a ring as Christmas
gift, but I lost my job three
weeks before, and 1 didn't want
to tell her because I knew she
would worry. So I have sent
her flowers and candy since,
and 1 will do anything to get
her back. I have gone out with
other girls to see if I could for
get her, but it doesn't work. I'm
so wretched about all this,
please help me if you can.
GEORGE.
Please don't lose another day,
my dear George, but write that
girl and tell her the only rea-
son you didn't give her the ring
you promised was that you lost
your job and didn't like to tell
her. Tell her how much you've
missed her, and say you hope
she'll take you back. And here
are my best wishes that she
does.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
FrOWn Lines

FrOWn Lines
Q.-Is there anything / can
do to eliminate frOwn lines on
my forehead? Does massage
help? If sO-hOw do 1 do 1t?
Will strips of adhesive tape help
or does it stretch the skin?
1 have tried both methods with
out success and have decided
am not masSaging correctly
A. X.
A.-Thank you for the COM
pliment (Which we did not
PRINT. If your skin is dry,
massage a rich nourishing cream
into it deeply-but be very care
full not to stretch the skin.
When concentrating the lines
usually appear at their best.
Smooth them out again very
gently. Relax the forehead and
then put tiny strips Of court
plaster (you may purchase
these already cut at the drug
store) but we suggest you get
a preparation from the drug
gist to remove them as snap
ping them off may stretch the
skin. Why don't you put the
plaster on at night?
Bath Salts
Question: 1 don't care for
bath salts, but 1 do like a per-
fumed bath. Can you give me
the name of something that I
can use? A. X.
Answer: We're mailing the
name of a bath essenop that
only needs a few drops in a
bath to perfume it. It comes
in two odors, jasmin and am
bre, and will last forever, or
nearly so.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Cousins in Love

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A cousin Of mine from a dis
tant State visited us some time
ago and we fell deeply in love
with each other. We want to
get married, but our parents
have advised us against it be-
cause they say it might affect
our children. We are very near
blood relations, being first cou-
sins.
We will appreciate if you will
advise us what to do.
H. S. C.
The question of cousins
marrying is one for a DOCTOR
rather than layman to answer.
AS you have observed, some
times cousins marry and have
perfectly normal chill dr. n;
again, there are unfortunate re-
suits. Too bad you're confronted
by this problem, and you have
nv sympathy.

KAKE HAS WHARF WHICH IS BUILT
 BY PUBLIC HELP

Rake has a weekly paper, mim- eographed, called the Rake weekly Progress which is to be published every Friday during the school year. Volume l, No. 1. says vir- tually every able-bodied man in Rake has been working on what
 will be Kake's first municipal wharf and fleat, for the past four days. Although the town was with out funds the belief was held that the job could be done with volun- teer labor, donated spikes and beachcombed material. The wharf is twelve feet wide and over two hundred feet long. Later on, when the services of a pile-driver can be secured the wharf will be ex- tended and a float constructed.
 During the building the Sister hood as well as several private persons have given dinners for the workers, and later the men were the guests of the mayor, Frank Shorty, at dinner followed by social and dance.
 Led by Ralph James and Walter Williams, who decided they had lived in the trees like owls long enough, a group of citizens have been clearing out the brush and second-growth that has been grad ually encroaching on the village for years. Civic enthusiasm reached to the top of the bluff behind the village where a group of young men have been clearing space for city park and vista house. Since the trail is steep it is expected the young people will be most pleased by this improvement.
 School boys are already making preparations for Field Day which comes with the closing of school. Tn the past two years this event has become one of the leading holi- days observed at Rake. The school team competes with the town boys in all events, there is a ball game, tug o'war, concert and feed. It is the last time all the people are to- gether until fall.

The Federal Power Commission
is being transferred from its
quarters in the Interior Building
today to 10000 square feet Of
office space in the National Press
Club Building, H. A. Candland,
secretary of the Public Buildings
Commission, announced.
The move is made necessary
to make room for the rapidly
expanding Public Works Admin
istration. The commission moved
into a privately owned office
building, Mr.. Candland explains,
because the Government has no
available space in a fireproof
structure.
The office of experiment sta
tions has been moved from the
South Agricultural Building into
Tempo C, Sixth Street at the
Mall, to make room for the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Admins

ing Service, occupying 1900 square
feet of space in the Interior

Full Moon Aids
Hunters of

The squirrel and sora season
in northern Virginia will open
for 80 days beginning Friday.
According to the game wardens
in the section, squirrels are not
very plentiful this year, al
though there is an abundance
of food.
The full moon next week will
aid sora hunters, who can only
get into the best marshes on
very high tides. The combina-
ton of high tides and flood
water is expected to furnish
good shooting in the marshes
south of Alexandria.
The dove season also opens in
Virginia Friday. Doves are not
abundant except in the north

WORRY At SIZE
Of WET LEAD
Repeal Leaders Fear Majority
May Be Not As Large As
They Hope For

BALTIMORE, Aug. 28.-MarY-
land repeal leaders are worried.
However, their concern is not
whether the State will go wet,
but because of the wording of
the ballot they fear the majority
they anticipated piling up against
prohibition might not be as large
as they hoped.
This worry is caused by the
fact that the ballot must by law
be worded so that those voting
for repeal must check the column
reading:
"The following candidates
have indicated an intention to
vote for the ratification of the
above mentioned amendment"
The amendment referred to is
the proposed twenty-first one,
repeating the Eighteenth Amend
ment. Wet leaders fear the
wording on the ballot may con-
fuse the voters.
The only solution, vets find,
is to make a final drive on elec-
ton day by having party workers
advise those desiring to vote for
repeal to remember that the re-
peal candidates will be listed in
the first column on the ballot.
Antiprohibition forces in Mary
land hope the repeal majority in
that tSate will be the greatest
recorded in the country.

HOME LOANS
HyattsViIIe Office Saves IS
Homes by Extension of
Mortgage Payments

The Home owners Loan Cor
poration office at Hyattsville
went into its sixth week today
flooded with applications for
loans on homes in the district
where foreclosures are threat
ened.
A survey of five weeks of work
by the regional office, which is
under the management of
Thomas L. Peyton, shows that
400 home owners have applied
for loans on their homes. These
loans involve over $1,250,000, Mr..
Peyton said.
Already the office has ap-
proved more than Is loans, it
was learned.
Where the loan corporation
has been unable to grant loans
on homes whose mortgages have
nearly lapSed, they have been
able to obtain extensions on the
mortgage payments. About rs
extensions of this type have been
made by the office in the five
weeks period, Mr.. Peyton de-
clared.
Appraisers have been busy dur
ing this time and approximately
$275, 900 worth of property has
been checked. Fifty consent agree
ments have been obtained from
loaning institutions and financial
organizations involving approx
mately SITS, 900 in mortgages.
With one of the largest insur-
ance companies in the country
agreeing to accept the loan cor
poration'S bonds in lieu of mort
cages, Mr.. Peyton believes he will
be able to grant loans in most of
the cases brought to his office.
This insurance company, the
name of which is not revealed,
followed suit Saturday and agreed
to hold the bonds of the corpora
tion. The company holds more
than so per cent of the mortgages
in the territory embraced by the
HyattSVille office.
