and immature. He is to diffident to
compete for girls his own age, and
only feels safe with a woman who
is willing to mother him.
After the advantage of few
years of married life, he gains In
elf-conddence. Meantime the fad
ing sex charms of the woman lead
him to look elsewhere for a more
vital life. Apparently the mother
son relationship becomes too obvious
and sooner or later the disparity in
ages courts disaster.
Dear Jane Jordan-I have been
going with a fellow for two years
and four months He tells me that
he loves me, but still he goes out
with other girls. When ask him
about it he denies it. When we
are alone he acts crazy about me
and calls me honey and other pet
names, but as soon as We are on
a double date or in a crowd. he
starts flirting and hardly pays any
attention to me.
We were split up once Tor three
weeks and then he called me to go
out with him again. He called
about every night but 1 kept re-
fusing. Then I went back to him
He goes out Of town once a month
on business and then I sit home
as l can't care for any other fell
lows company. 1 am very jealous
of him and would like to know
just what to do. WORRIED.
Answer-If you are in search of
permanence and your boy friend in
search of variety, I do not know
how to bring you together. 1t is
obvious that you will not adopt a
freer attitude for your sake. You
can scarcely expect him to settle
down for your sake.
I think you make your mistake
by refusing to take an interest in
other boys. You might find some
one more suited to you tempera-
mentally. Besides, you wouldn't be
such a certainty to him and he
might make more effort to hold
your affection.
Dear Jane Jordan-What is
wrong with all of the fellows
today? I am 81 and considered
fairly good looking with lots of
personality. Every fellow 1 have
ever gone with tries to get fresh.
That is something I can not
stand. Any more when a man
stands next to me at work, home
or even in a street car, I feel as
though am being suffocated and
want to run away.
was engaged to a man two
years ago. Everything went along
fine until he demanded that I
give myself to him. Right then
and there I broke up the affair
saying that I would never get
married. Now don't think 1
wouldn't love to be married if I
could find a man who would
think much of me and vice versa.
Please help me.
WONDERING LII.
Answer What you need is a
lighter touch with men. You can
refuse without being so serious about
it. The merry quip, the elusive re-
fusal is just as effective as stern
rebuke and you won't lose your boy
friends by too Puritanical atti-
tude. After all they do not mean
to insult you, but to compliment
your charms.

with most hearings, they shouted at

The personnel of the committee de-

Partisanship is sometimes practiced.

OF the 637 units of housing in the

Behind these figures. the results of

lumbis, lies the popular indictment
of the alley slums. Under such con-
ditions. how can any people. living in
the confined existence of urban dwell
ers, lead cleanly and decent lives? Tu-
berculosis thrives in these alleys, and
infantile diseases of all kinds take a
heavy annual toll in human life.
The sneak thieves and petty bur-
glars who find ready refuge in the
alleys are the heroes Of the boys and
girls who must grow to manhood and
Womanhood in such surroundings.

through the extirpation of the in
habited alleys. while apparently in
tangible, can actually be measured to
some degree in dollars and cents.
That this is true was demonstrated
in the intensive study of the second
police precinct undertaken by the
Public Utilities Commission in its
study of housing and rent conditions.
The writer had the singular good for
tune Of being III position to direct
a staff of research workers. supplied
through the Civil Works Administra-
ton, in an examination of the local
area containing the greatest number
of inhabited alleys. This area is en-
braced by the second precinct, most
of which is within the old boundaries
of the City of Washington. Through a
house e-to-house enumeration under
taken in the course of the commits
sion's survey. it was determined that
the IS inhabited alleys in the second
precinct contained 1908 residents.
52,S55 Tenants.
The area studied covers only 1922
per cent of the territory of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. yet is so inten-
sively developed from a housing stand

Is ignored. A shyster practicing in
the Police Court could learn many
new tricks by attending a few hear
ings.
If the sessions themselves are some
times unusual, the recess periods
present limitless possibilities. The
witness. expecting breathing spell
from the ordeal, is quickly disillu-
stoned. Any and all manner of
stunts are staged. Spectators may
come to his seat to argue with him.
Or publicity seekers may capitalize
his presence. Witness the publicity
move carried out when a midget
climbed into the lap of j. P. Morgan

and the show then current in Wash
ington.
But such are mere incidents. There
are much more serious considerations.
For instance, our courts, whatever or
wherever they may be, are governed
by the rule of law. There are few
rules governing senatorial investi-
eating procedure, except those that
are fixed and agreed upon by the
investigators. Whereas a Judge pre-

Japan's Railway
Building Hailed

SHANGHAI. - Japan's ambitious
railway building program in Man
chukuo-which envisages the con-
struction of $500 miles of new rail
arteries within ten years-is an out
standing industrial development in
the new Manchurian state.
Notable among the new lines COM
pleted during the year is the Harbin-
Lafa branch, which roughly parallels
the Harbin-Hsingking section Of the
Chinese Eastern Railway (renamed
the North Manchuria Railway and
provides the connecting link In a
system from North Manchuria to
Seishin, a seaport on the coast OF
Korea. This new line, opened to
freight trafic in January, is par
ticularly advantageous because it
eliminates transshipment at Hsing.
king (Changehun). Because of tht
difference in gauge between the
Chinese Eastern and the South Man
churia Railway, all goods transported
from Harbin to Dairen must be trans
shipped at Hsingking, junction OF
the Chinese Eastern and South Man
churia systems.
This new artery to the Korean
coast, aside from its military and
strategic value, will carry North Man
churian produce, of which Japan Is
a principal buyer, to Japan by q
shorter and consequently much
cheaper route, and take Japanese
goods to North Manchuria much
more economically than via Dairen
and the South Manchuria and
Chinese Eastern Railways.

The public and private agencies and
the citizens of Washington who now
see their goal in view after almost half
century know that the battle is only
partially won. Alley legislation in the
past has met defeat in the courts, or
has defeated itself by failing to strike
directly at the heart of the problem
The new alley law has avoided the
errors of its predecessors, and repre-
sents the sum total of the experience
of many minds in the long campaign
for housing reform in the Nations
Capital.
More Funds Required.
The s500,000 provided by the act
is sufficient only to begin the work.
| 1t will be necessary fer the Govern
ment to purchase the alley property
before the clearance program can be
said to be actually under way. In
view of the fact that the 1875 inhabited
alleys of Washington contain 1894
residential buildings. obviously $780,
900 will not sufice to acquire, demol-
ish and remodel these structures, or
erect new buildings in their place.
Additional funds must be provided to
supplement such receipts as may be
obtained from the lease or sale of
non-residential structures erected by
the alley clearance agency, for the
prosecution Of the program.
Friends of the alley movement are
reluctant to commit themselves to the
proposition that the campaign may be

And Rebuilt i'm Year

POLTAVSKAYA. Kuban, u. S. S. r.
-Poltavskaya is at once a living re-
proach to the Soviet government and
a monument to the daring, ruthless
ness and ardor which the bolsheviks
can show when put to it.
It would take real Communist to
condone the exile of 10000 of the
$4,000 people living in a single town.
Likewise. it is incontrovertible that
the bolsheviks have made the most
OF the situation which they them
selves created.
One day In the Winter of 1928
the population of Poltavskaya. worn
out by grain acquisitions and furious
at the authorities who had carried
them out, went wild. Dressing them
selves In their wives clothes, the men
OF the village sought out and beat up
every bolshevik upon whom they could
lay their hands, including the chief
Of the local Gay-Pay-Oo. A frantic
call for troops was sent to a neigh
boring garrison town, but the same
sort Of thing was happening there
and 1t was some time before q force
could arrive from Krasnodar.
With the situation once more in
hand, the authorities decided to exile
every one in town other than "Red
partisans," and this order was car
ried out after the angry villagers, In
last squirt Of fury, practically razed
every habitation in town.
When we visited Poltavskaya in
February. 1888, the place was prac-
tically deserted except for a few hun
dred Red army men who had been
sent there to replace the exiles The
surrounding country was overgrown
with weeds and what grain had been
planted the year before lay unhar-
vested in the fields. Rehabilitation OF
the village presented a disheartening
problem.
Today we drove for 100 miles
through the district roundabout, visit
ing most of the seven collective farms
existing here and inspecting a large
portion of the IS 900 acres which they
comprise. Scarcely an acre in the
whole district was implanted, peas
ants were busy wedding the fields, and
any one who did not know the his
tory Of the place would never have
guessed 1t. Only the battered houses
of the exiles remain to show what has
happened.
