have developed into one long

things they'd like to know are:
Does the modern man ever

she be able to bring her husband

Question No. docs the
modern man ever marry for
love?"
Certainly! You've only to
open any paper to see many
influential men marry girls in
the same offices. Business girls
claim that's the reason society
girls seek jobs. A conspicuous
illustration is Mayor La Guar
dia of New York, who married
the young lady who acted as
his secretary when he was in
the House of Representatives.
Must a girl be able to bring
her husband influence in the
way of business or social in

Any man marrying for that
reason would be so cold-blooded
that a girl who had neither to

tunate escape.

If you want to achieve pair
of alluring lips, you have to know
what to do with them and how
to do it-and no pun intended.
Only frequently you will find
a pair of perfectly shaped lips.
Lips are either too small, too
large, too thin, too heavy or too
uneven in outline for the face
they decorate. That means
most of us have to go in for a
little reShaping.
And as lipstick is the medium
used to change the mouthline it
must be permanent in its color,
or there is a frightful mess. Its
consistency must be rich and
soothing to the lips-for smooth
lips are as important to allure
as well-shaped lips.

lips by using little cam

The next consideration in

by that name. But when it was an
nounced that Mrs. Ryan was none
other than Maggie Cline, one-time ia

years ago, there was general and gen.
uine grief, for Maggie Cline was
known to many thousands in her long

hearts and reused the laughter of her
audiences. She was known particu-
larly for two songs, trifles in music
and text, but long the favorites Of

The Earl of Lonsdale is a typical
Englishman. He looks the part, and
he acts it. So true to the model is he
that no American encountering him
anywhere in the world could be even
momentarily in doubt about him. He
must have stepped into life from the
pages of Punch. He is the ideal John
Bull in appearance, manner, speech,
gesture, thought. everything.
And his career has run a natural
British course. The record tells that
he has the rank of viscount and baron
by inheritance tracing back to 1897
and baronet by right of title estab-
lished in 1854. He is lord lieutenant
of Cumberland and Custos Rotulor-
UNI; also hereditary admiral of the
Coasts of Cumberland and westmor-

Marches. He has been honorary

Utilities Commission and
Taft Bridge Trolleys
To the Editor OF The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
II the Public Utilities Commission
does not know yet why its funds were
reduced by Congress. this proposal
to hold a public hearing on a request
of the transit company to run street
cars across the Connecticut Avenue
Bridge over Rock Greek ought to serve
to erlighten its members.
The commission has no lawful
jurisdiction over District bridges. It.
has no authority to issue orders that
will cause bridge to be altered, to
have wires strung over it or conduits
built under it, or to dictate how it
shall be used. Nor can it be invested
with any such authority by the few
who attend a public hearing.
AS the Connecticut Avenue Bridge
was not planned nor constructed for
street-railway purposes, would 1t not
be a foolhardy bureaucracy that
would attempt to divert it to street
car use without an act of Congress?
Operations to replace the Calvert
Street Bridge have begun. Why have
two expensive bridges so close together
If one is not primarily for street car
use? The railway should be compelled
to use the Calvert Street Bridge for
street cars, and fairly it should pay
one-haf the cost.

would be to extend the underground

sure there will be protests as soon
as people realize what it means to

a precedent. and in the future If any
new bridges were authorized the COM
pany would use this as q basis for
its demands for overhead wires and

Bill for Control of Crops
Should be Withdrawn
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The bill conferring on Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace powers over all
food production greater than any ever
exercised by czar or dictator should
be amended to give him absolute au-
thority over sun, wind and rain. For
without this authority the bill is fu-
tile and will not accomplish the OBJ
jects aimed at, though its enactment
will do infinite harm. 1t is iniquitous
beyond words as it stands. Any at
tempt to enforce 1t will lead to civil
war. All the armies of Europe and
Asia added to our own could not
enforce it. 1t should be withdrawn
at once.
The security Of our lives and our
property, of our children and our
homes, rests not on Army or Navy,
but on universal respect for law.
Whatever impairs this respect strikes
therefore at the root of our safety.
Any law which Is not enforced and
cannot be enforced tends to impair
that respect. The bill is an invita-
ton to anarchy. It opens wide the
entrance to chaos. Its mere intro
duction is a threat to all we hold
dear. Its passage would be an ur,-
speakable calamity which every Amer
ican should at once take action to
