sought to secure a large shipment Of
arms to China from briggs.
Given Plan for Guns.
Earlier it had been disclosed that
the War Department turned over to
the briggs Co. secret plans for anti
aircraft guns and helped to encourage
the business of the concern.
A letter written in 1929 by briggs
to his agent in Poland said the War
Department is now cooperating with
us 100 per cent"
"You will remember the release to
us of the latest designs of the anti
aircraft guns to be furnished Poland
is conditional upon our having orders
of satisfactory size for production in
our plant here" the letter continued.
1.-The Government feels that the
compensation for making public what
has heretofore been secret is in the
building up of our facilities so they
will be available in time of necessity" :"
The letter also spoke of a bill in
Congress which the War Department
was pushing in line with favorable
policy toward the company.
Department Promised Aid.
briggs testified his company had
had trouble in obtaining pay from
the War Department for its use OF
gun designs of the concern and that
the department had promised him
aid that would mean more to the
concern than compensation.
briggs, q small man with bristling
gray moustache, told the committee
his company had been manufactur-
ing rapid-fire guns for 40 years from
an invention of his brother, Comdr
w. H. briggs. U. s. N. He added that
the rapid-fire naval gun had been
adopted by the Navy.
briggs said up until 1925 all the
business done was in this country.
The first business abroad was q
trial order for Poland in 1928. Since
then, he said, he had done business
with Turkey, Greece, Denmark, Co.
lombia and Guatemala.
He said all the guns were manu-
factured in this country and that his
company had no tie-up with any for
eign power.
briggs said he went after foreign
business after he found Europe
tagging in keeping its equipment
modernized.
The munitions manufacturer said
his anti-aircraft gun was defensive
weapon, used only to repulse aircraft
attacks.
Senator Clark, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri,, disputed this, saying the
weapon could be used for offensive
purposes.

Now She's Worried
Dear Miss Fairfax:

There is positively nothing
sentimental between my boss
and me. He really is a sweet
old thing, more than twice my
age. In the office we all
speak of him as Jack" instead
of his real name.
Through a slip of the tongue,
I called him "Jack" to his face
the other day, and he laughed
and said he knew we all called
him that.
My mother heard about this,
and chit the ceiling She
asked me how it would sound
if fathers secretary called him
Dan (an abbreviation the men
call him).
She claims that such famil.
1arity on my part, if known to
his wife, my boy friend, or the
head boss, would result in some
embarrassment all around, and
I would have no one to blame
but myself.
They could easily be informed
by some girl in the office, who
has heard me, and is not friendly
to either Of us. Mother says
a man will go only as far as a
girl permits. I had not viewed
It in this light, and am now
quite concerned. ALICE.
What you tell me, my dear, is
In keeping with the present-day
manner of doing things, and
suppose it would be called "Vic.
torian'' to question modern wis
dom. The boss is Jack" and
no lines of distinction are
drawn. There's a lot of talk
about this being the better way;
but is it, really?
Take your mothers genera.
tion. Then no girl known as
''nice" would have thought of
calling the boss "Jack" any
n more than she would of calling
King George "Georgie-Porgie,"
If she happened to make the
social grade and courtsey at
Buckingham Palace; or Musso-
hni "Mussy," if she were intro
duced to the premier of Italy.
Question of Taste.
The boss in the past genera
fion was like the captain of a
ship, and you didn't get gay
with him. What kind of office
discipline can be maintained,
when you call the boss Jack"
Is puzzling.
And does the way of the pres
tent generation bring about more
satisfying results? Formerly it
wasn't true that one marriage
in six went on the rocks, and
women were calmer, happier.
But this business of calling
the boss "Jack"-that'S a ques.
tlon Of taste, isn't it?

and items about wearables for
men and boys that I hesitate
to mention them again. but
they are sure fire. On this page
we have wool socks, smart be-
cause they are of rabbits hair
and wool with horizontal stripes
in such coloringS as salmon,
yellow and brown, green and
cream or blue and yellow. The
brighter the smarter!
Then there are the knitted
gloves, not only for the sports
man, but for men to wear on
the street in cold weather, with
their rough overcoats and
rough-surfaced hats, new this
year. They come in plain
string knit, in yellow, white or
gray, or in patterns, such as
the gloves pictured.
The tweed jacket is a new
idea, mentioned before, and has
raglan sleeves, Upper front and
leather bound pockets. It's just
a little smarter than the
feathers, though they are still
most acceptable.
Don't forget evening jewelry
for the young boy getting his
first dinner or evening clothes,
and don't forget fine evening
shirts and waistcoats for him,
too. also evening suspenders,
socks and garters.
Don't forget glasses, decan-
ters, whole bars or cellarettes,
a muddler for old-fashioneds,
or a case of champagne. or
some such for the man who
entertains. Some men love to
cook, and what could be more
welcome than a silex coffee
maker, or an electric grille or
chatting dish? Just think of
your man and his likes, and
the answer to your problem
should pop into your head in no
time at all.

These Guppies
Need Home
BY LIZ HUME

Too bad for the kiddies whose
parents wanted to give them a
dog for ChristmaS-but the
Animal Rescue League is "out
Of dogs" Such a rush they had
that not one is left.
Of course, there are still
thirty or forty dogs at the Dis.
trict Pound and they are two
dollars each. They have no
cats, however.
Act Quickly
Now of course, if you are in.
terested in 'guppies"-we have
several available that Mrs. Mar
garet Kellam wants to give
away. She is leaving for Miami
right after Christmas and wants
to give the fish to someone who
will care for them satisfactorily.
In addition to the guppies she
has a tropical cat fish.
Says Mrs. Kellam:
"He is supposed to keep the
water clean and is the only fish
that won't devour them, so If
anyone would like to have the
beloved guppies let them call
Adams 2174-J around 7:15 p. m.
Mrs. Kellam must dispose of
these fish by Christmas, so you
had better hurry if you are in
terested. Her address is 1880
Chaplin st. N. w.
Tropical fish require much
care-but find a fancier who
won't say that they are worth
every minute of the time they
require, and I will retract.
Aquarium
In choosing an aquarium, the
first thing to remember is that
fish and other aquatic creatures,
need air almost as much as
they need water. The usual
goldfish globe for this reason, is
of no use.
Fish will live more healthily
in an ordinary dishpan than in
many of the fancy receptacles
designed for them. Your tank
should stand where it gets
light, but not in direct sun
light, throughout the day.
The bottom of the tank should
be covered with sand, gravel,
or fine pebbles about two inches
deep and these must be first
thoroughly washed to get rid
of any dirt or impurities.
Plants for the tank should
be we'll washed and rooted di-
rectly in the sand, with large
pebble to keep them in place
or else weighted down with a
little strip of lead, until they
can take root hold.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
You'd probably recognize my

how responsible is a man OF good

myself, and why a man of my

that I get a divorce from my

ners, with as many kisses. I
can't see how I was so blind as
to fall for her.
PATER FAMIL1AS.
This kind of second sight is
often painful, Pater Familias.
And the reticence you might
well have employed toward this
young lady, you have reserved
for your letter to this column.
Just how blind were you
when you fell for a girl less
than half your age? And if it
was more than a passing astig-
matism, perhaps it might be
well to consult a lawyer.
