BILLS TO ABOLISH
NUMBERS" URGED
Two Congressional Acts Are
Supported by American
University Park Group.

Legislation aimed at stamping out
the numbers" racket and other
gambling operations which are re-
sponsible for large part of the crime
in the District was Endorsed in two
resolutions passed by the American
University Park Citizens Association
last night.
One resolution favored the passage
by Congress of bill introduced at
the last session, which would make
the possession of gambling tickets or
other devices prima facie evidence in
gambling cases. This bill, which was
aimed particularly at the numbers"
game, was passed by the Senate, but
was not acted upon by the House.
The other resolution Endorsed the
proposal that law be offered making
the owner or agent for the owner of
any building which is used for gam
bling purposes criminally responsible if
he does not abate the nuisance within
a reasonable time after he has been
given notice that such operations are
being conducted on his premises.

This would call for a padlocking

suggested that public utilities, such
as the telephone company, be included
along with the owner or agent 1t
was decided, however, that the utilities
would automatically be cut off if the
palocking provision were enforced.
The association also passed resolu-
ton indorsing and encouraging CO.

enforcement officers, maintaining,
however, that no vigilance committee
is necessary or advisable in its area.

mates will not let him forget
that curls in their particular
circle are "out" for boys Of his
age.
Girls Unfortunate
The mother Of today Is not
so likely to err in this respect
in dressing her man child. It
is, fortunately, the fashion for
little boys to be manly.
But girls are not so FORUM
ate. The mother who likes her
little darling to look like q
"doll' can find plenty Of. ex-
cuses in the shops and fashion

Her friends will exclaim over
"how cute" little Mary looks.
And Mary, herself, may even
grow to like it.
All Of which is very bad for
Mary.
In the first place it will teach
her to be self conscious, vain
Of her looks and snobbish to-
ward other senSibly attired little
girls. Her popularity with her
playmates will suffer accord
ingly.
Simple and RO0my
A child's clothes should be
planned so that he or she iS
not conscious Of them. They
should be simple; easily cleaned;
warm enough for the weather:
light in weight and not bulky
and roony enough for comfort.
In planning the children'S
wardrobe ask yourself these
questions:
Do they like them? Can they
play freely in them? Are they
warm enough but not too warm?
Do they allow freedom for
the body-for growth circula-
ton; of the blood and muscle
activity? Will they wash and
wear we'll? Are they what the
gang" is wearing?
And lastly remember that
even dolls are wearing simple
little things these days. The
ruffles and furbelows Of older
generations are "out" even for
dolls.

The main claim to fame that
Jacket dresses have is that they
make a costume wearable for so
many occasions. A most informal
frock without sleeves, or with
the shortest and tiniest sleeves,
may be perfectly dignified on
the street, with the addition Of

Becoming To All
Then, too, jackets make most
costumes becoming to people Of
various sizes and figures. The
loose, boxy jackets we've had
the past season or so are par
ticularly kind to people with
figure problems.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About two months and a
half ago I met a young man
who ushered at a certain thea.
ter. We became friendly, and
I soon learned to love him.
One night he told me he
could never care for me, be-
cause of another girl who gave
him a dirty deal" He said I
was a very nice girl but too
good for him. He begged me
not to like him. as he was no
good.
I told him I didn't care
about that other affair of his,
and in spite of everything I
loved him. He said of all the
girls he knew he would like
best to have me for a friend.
Miss Fairfax, I've tried to
love him only as a friend, but
it is impossible. And I've tried
to forget him and go with
other men, but they bore me
to death. Sometimes his actions
toward me lead me to believe
he cares a little.
IMPATIENT.
When a man tells a girl he
wants her only as a friend,
it's plain he doesn't want to
become seriously entangled,
and that an engagement is out
of the question. Doubtless
this young man can't afford to
marry at present, and sees no
prospects of marriage in the
near future. Under the cir
cumstances, he wants to keep
his relations with girls friendly
and casual.
OF course, it's possible that
he may fall in love with you,
and it's also possible that he
may get a job which would
enable him to marry. I have
no faith in his talk about the
other girl who gave him a
dirty deal" and made him a
celibate. At the same time,
I wouldn't take this young man
too seriously.

Windblown as a bird!
In costs. it's a bit more COM

CurlS and SwirlS

orderly coiffures. For hair must
be feminine. Ina Claire, in her
recent Was ington appearance
in "Biol raphy," wore her blonde
hair chal. lingly in exact rows
of curls on each side of her
head and a lovely flat swirl in
the back. This type of coiffure
is just right for the woman with
q beautifully shaped head.
Pictured on this page is the
lovely Bette Davis, Of movie
fame, showing us a brand-new
version in the sophisticated type

This single curl drawn from
one side of the head toward the

is petite. It gives short. slim

Of dresses. The triple sheers
seem to be the favorites at the
moment, and they are most
often in dark colors, with vivid
accent of white or color.
Brown or Navy
We're showing a very smart
jacket costume on this page to-
day, worn by the attractive
blonde girl who is seated on a
sofa. It Is Of triple sheer crepe,
and comes in navy or brown.
Right now, navy promises to be
about the best color Of spring,
and brown will be very popular.
Short SIeeved Dress
The scarf, which runs through
the jacket collar, is of striped
material in white with brown or
navy, to match the suit. The
dress beneath has short sleeves,
but they're not so short that
you can't wear the dress on the
street when warm weather
comes.
This suit is only $13.95, and
Is in Junior sizes, II to II. It's
an ideal buy, for you can wear
it, jacket and all, under your
winter coat now, and then have
a street dress when it's time to
discard coats.

this costume, write Miss Laville,
