Dear Miss Fairfax:

Lear MISS Cd1IAdA'
I am II years of age and in
love with a boy in. a town 26O
miles distant from my home. I
returned from one of my fire.
uuent visits to this boys town
and discovered that I love him
dearly. And it isn't puppy love
either. He is not rich. In fact.
he comes from a poor family.
After I returned I gave UP
nv STEADY" boy friend be-
cause don't. love him any
more, The boy who is 26O
miles away is 18 years of age.
Please do not think we are just
children. Did I do right to
give up a boy I knew for four
years. and had gone with stead
ily for six months, for the other
boy?
In matters of the heart. my
dear Eva, there is no hard and
fast rule. Our affections, like
the tides, ebb and flow. If you
discovered after you returned
home that you didn't care
about the boy you'd known for
four years, he probably would
have discovered for himself the
change in your feelings. 1t
seems to me unnecessary to
"dr0p him" At II and 18 years
of age, it's we'll for young peo-
ple to have many friends.
They are too young for "exclu-
siveness,"

monial to John j. Noonan as a result
OF his persistent efforts on behalf of
reduced street car fare for school chill
dren was adopted yesterday by the
House District Committee at the IN
stance of Representative Patman, Demo-
crat, of Texas.
The resolution, which was approved
unanimously, called upon Superintend-
ent of Schools Frank W. Ballou to make
arrangements so that school children
and citizens of the District may give
recognition to Mr.. Noonan "for his sue
cessful efforts in getting a law passed
by Congress providing for Scent fare
on street cars and buSses for school
children"
Chairman Norton, Representative
Black of New York, Representative
GaSque of South Carolina and others
spoke of the appreciation which should
be shown for Mr.. Noonan's single
handed campaign.
Even if the merger bill was never
signed, or if Congress had never passed
the Scent carfare bill, this public tes-
timonial should be given to Mr.. Noonan,
the committee members declared.
Representative Patman pointed out
that Mr.. Noonan had made this cam
paiga at considerable personal expense.

to the pampas with their gauchos.
Here were subjects as yet forgotten by
wlelderS of the brush. But the natives
would not pose. They were suspicious
of painters. So Senor de Quiros be-
came one of them. He rode the ranges
with pistol and lasso. He herded cattle
and fought cattle rustlers. After many
months he found he could bring forth
his easel and portray the colorful life
he knew and felt.
The pictures that he made are those
which will be shown here beginning to-
morrow and continuing through March
Is. They are paintings which reflect
historically the life of the gauchos from
1850. until 1870. The series has pre-
viouSly delighted art lovers in London,
Paris, Berlin and Madrid

Senor de Quiros said Il painted the
gauchos because they are picturesque,

followed the boxing discussion, the
board authorized DR.. Ballou to make
such transfers of Eastern High School
pupils to other high schools as will re-
lieve the heavy congestion at that in
Stitution. The superintendent in
formed the board that while the enroll
ment at Eastern now is 2,518-already
a congestion figure"-the total will be
at least 2,795 at the beginning of the
new semester on February l. This en-
rollment figure is based on the known
number of new students entering East
ern and the known number Of present
students who will be graduated at the
end of this term. The board also
authorized the superintendent to de-
cline to admit any new nonresident
students to Eastern.
Similar conditions of croWding are in
view for the new Roosevelt High School
where the enrolment on February l
will be 1923 with a building capacity
of 1900. The school probably will be
able through economies of space and
teaching force, to handle its situation
this year, DR.. Ballou advised the board,
but he insisted that some drastic
measures will have to be adopted to
enable the school to cope with the
anticipated congestion next September.

Reigrod, white, jamming his body in a
trunk and shipping it to Richmond, Va.
The prisoners were Henry Edmond,
38, janitor of tenement house owned
by Reigrod in the Bronx, and John
Tinsley 25. who is married to sister,
in-law of Edmond.
Reigrod went to the tenement house
to collect rents Tuesday evening and
when he did not return home his wife
became alarmed. Yesterday morning
she found her husbands spectacles in
the basement and was convinced some
thing had happened to him.
A short while or Edmond was be-
ing questioned, and within three hours
police announced the story the pair
struck Reingrod down with a 2O-pound
CRATE bar. After taking $40 and burn
mace, police said, the men hauled out
an old trunk and put the body in it.

taxicab and took the trunk to the
Pennsylvania Station and shipped it by
express to Richmond. Police said they
found the torn receipt for the trunk in
an unlighted stove in Tinsley's home.
Edmond and Tnsley thought they
had committed perfect crime, police
said; they had burned all incriminating
evidence; they had cleaned up all
blood stains; one of them even went
to the police station with Mrs. Reigrod
to report her husbands disappearance
but they overlooked one thing.

mond complained Of being hungry and
not having any money. After a de-
tective had given him 81 for food he
noticed that the man was limping. His
shoe was taken off and in the toe was
found $18, which, Edmond said, was his
share of the loot.
After Tinsley was identified by a
railway express clerk as the man who
arranged for shipment of the trunk to
Richmond both men were booked on
homicide charges.
Police requested Richmond authori-
ties to send the trunk and its contents
back to New York, so an autopsy could
be performed.
