Records Show Application

Last Year.
BY ROBERT $. BROWN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Dr
William A. Writ. self-apointec
brain-trust- buster, today stands re.
vealed as a promoter Of merry 60
rounds, roller coasters and scenic
railways.
1t appears from the records Of the
public works administration that
the good doctor, whose versatility 81
professional occupations has as
founded the capital for the last few
days. last year headed a company
in Porter county, Indiana, known as
Dune Acres, Inc, which sought a
S2,000,000 self-liquidating loan from
the government.
According to the plans and speci-
fications. beautifully done in color
submitted to the PWA, Dune Acres
Inc, was to become the twentieth
. century garden of Eden where the
flower Of Hoosier youth could frolic
unrestrained.
A Real Coney Island!
In addition to the mechanical
Coney Island contrivances, the doc
tor had vision of tall observation
towers from which one could view
the blue waters of Lake Michigan
or the red-tinged sands of the
dune country. Convenient yacht
basins were to nestle along the shore
where palatial craft could put in for
a time while passengers strolled
along winding paths Of beauty and
partook of refreshments from de
luxe peanut stands
Late last summer, the doctor be-
gan a series of visits to Washington
in the interest of his project. He
visited the interior building, hous-
ing the public works administra-
ton, several times, but never dis
cussed his plans with Harold l.
Ickes, PWA administrator.
DR.. Writ was quite anxious that
David Cushman Coyle, member OF
the technical board of review of the
public works administration, be
present at the party, and Miss Bar
rows assented to his desire.
Plan Falls Through
But DR.. Wirts plans went for
naught. First the Dune Acres, Inc
project, submitted as Porter
county program, was turned down
by the state public works engineer
of Indiana. Then, in December, 1888
it was turned down by the public
works administration. Northern In
/ diana was doomed to worry along
without the Writ amusement park
Mr.. Ickes-who revealed this story
said that the reason civen the
good old Doc" from Gary for PWA
refusal of the request was that the
project was not socially desirable
Then, commenting seriously upon
DR.. Writ and his recent attacks on
! the cOmmuniStic trends of the adj
. ministration, Mr.. Ickes said:
Before he discovered it was COM
munistic to try to bring the country
out of the rut, he wanted 100000
for this project. Now that he has
made his startling discovery, he at
tacks in comparison our subsistence
homestead program, which would
provide decent homes and decent
places to live, as the brain child of
communistic minds of the admins

She has to meet me secretly.
and if it were known to her
family that we have these meet

for us both.
During the time We have
known each other, we have fal.
len devotedly in love. The
young lady has an excellent
position, but If it were known
to her employer that We were
meeting, she would undoubtedly
lose this job. I have felt it
was only the square thing to
remind her of this, but she is
still willing to meet me.
What would you suggest IN q
case Of this kind?
DOUBTFUL F.
Your account of the difficult
ties which beset your case
sounds more like the middle
ages than 1884. You don't tell
me how old the young lady is,
but her having an excellent
position implies she is Of age.
Why a girl who is earning

able young man under her own
roof. without having her family
and her employer object, is in
comprehensive these days. And
you do not say why the en-
ployer objects.
Secret meetings are never de-
sirable, and in spite of the
continental prejudice on the
part of the girls family, I think
she would do we'll to talk things
out with her people and have
a more modern understanding
with them.

All hair dyeing is done at
your own risk. Especially that
which you do yourself, so you
should be extremely cautious in
choosing a dye and very care
full to follow the instructions
that come with it.
My advice to any woman who
has decided to touch up her
hair, is to have the dye applied
by an experienced operator.
Later, when she is more familiar
with the dye, the manner in
which her hair reacts to it, she
may possibly be able to apply
the treatment to herself.
I cannot blame you for decid-
ing to color your hair if it is
Streaked or prematurely gray,
but I do not advise hair dyeing.
In choosing a shade, get it as
near to your natural hair color
ing as possible. Do not come out
a redhead if you were once a
brunette; or a blonde if you
were once a mousy brown!
I tell you this because your
