A PRETTY CUSTOM

Good old ST. Valentine, who died mar
tyr. in Rome many centuries ago, must stand
as guardian over the celebration of his day
to keep it from modern defilements. Little
or no attempt has been made to modernize
this quaint old anniversary sacred to lovers.
For weeks the stores have displayed the
pretty little tokens of the type which have
served as lovers gifts for generations. Even
the delicate lacey creations so dear to the
hearts of SWANS and maidens of a century
ago, still persist little changed in form.
Instead of being "jazzed up" to meet the
spirit of our age, st. Valentines Day has be-
come even more refined. The ugly, some
times malicious conceptions, the comic val
entines" have almost disappeared. Those
who still recognize the day seem to cherish
only the tender emotions.
Of course for those who would m
more lavish gifts the florists and the con-
fectioners have a variety Of suggestions, but
the little greeting cards still carry the mes
sage of love and perpetuate pretty custom.

DAYS OF YOUTH

1--WE are only young once" you often
hear some person remark as an excuse for
hitting the pace"
True, we can be young but once, and the
pleasure Of youth must be crowded into that
space Of time.
But how long are we young? Some men
are old at 40, while others at 60 are still
young. It depends upon the pace they hit
and the manner in which they hit it.
We can crowd lot Of work and pleas
ure into youth if we keep our hearts and our
minds and our bodies clean, or we can re-
duce the amount of both and shorten our
youth by resorting to reckless dissipation.
Your youth is your own. It will be pro-
longed or curtailed by your own acts.

SEEK
FIGURES ON RENT
QUESTIONABLE Tests Emer-
genCy on Question of Cre-
ating Commission.

The National Federation of Federal
Employees has begun circulation of a
QUESTIONABLE through the Government
to learn the housing problems of the
employees and determine if an 'emer-
gency" exists to justify creation of a
Rent Commission, as proposed in the
bill of Representative Ellenbogen, Dem
ocrat, of Pennsylvania.
The form to be filled out asks the
sort of property rented and the amount
of rent, the nature Of services that go
with the rental, whether the property
occupied is inferior because of your
inability to pay for better class" If
rents here are causing the employe
to live outside the Capital and the
amount of salary employees receive.
A letter from John w. Ginder, presi-
dent of the District Federation Of Fed
eral Employees Unions, accompanying
the QUESTIONABLE, says there Is no
doubt in our minds that an emergency
exists"
It quotes the Public Utilities Com
mission as telling the Senate that
rents here are 100 per cent above the
average for the entire country" and as
predicting that restoration of Govern
ment pay will send them higher.

LONDON DISCUSSES
MORGAN ART SALE.
Little Speculation, However,
on Financier as Future
Resident.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 2.--Much interest
was evident today in coming sales OF
art treasures Of j. p. Morgan In Lon
don, but there was little speculation
as to whether he would desert Wall
Street for the life Of an English
country gentleman.
Announcement that his miniatures
would be sent here for auction caused
dealers to foresee the possibility that
other works Of art also would come to
London as the financier proceeds
with partial liquidation Of his estate.
England's tastes, concentrated wealth
and nearness to continental center
provided o good market for such
objects.
Two Homes in England.
Should Morgan come here to live,
he would have house-hunting to do.
For many years he has maintained
both a London town house and
country home. He is a well-known
figure at Watford. Hertfordshire, site
of his country estate maintained in
the fashion Of any English landed
baron. There are many farm agents.
gamekeepers and servants.
Fine blooded stock is but one of
the features Of the estate. Hogs have
been entered number Of times in
the neighboring shows, which corre-
spond to, the American country fairs.
The fnancier. keen sportsman,
on his last visit to the British Isles
spent most of his time grouse shoot
ing in Scotland.
One of the leading dealers in minia-
lures in Bond street speaking of the
projected sale of the famous Morgan
collection, said:
Much interest has been aroused
not only among the trade but also
by the general public by reports that
Morgan is selling part Of his valu-
able collection here. Such art OBJ
iects always sell in London, which is
the leading world market for these
articles"

IN WOMAN'S DEATH

terday by a coroner's jury inquiring

succeeded in stopping the car only
after it had gone between II. and 200

additional evidence and the father
took the stand to tell how he himself
had repaired the car and was sur
prised to find the brakes in such bad
condition. The windshield also was
reported blurred.

BY the Associated Press.
As Chairman Doughton Of the
House Ways and Means Committee
drafted bill to repeal the income tax
publicity law, another influential
member of that committee today
termed the present law just a "snoop-
ing proposition"

1924 and again repealed in 1925.
Instead OF accomplishing any
good" he said, "it was used to obtain
information which served no public
good, and which resulted in injury in
some form to the taxpayer. There Is
nothing progressive in such legisla-
ton"
Bill to Be Presented.
Doughton's bill is scheduled to be
presented to the House by next
InurSCay.
A subcommittee Of the Ways and
Means Committee agreed unanimously
yesterday to repeal the pink slip" re-
quirement.
BY repeating the pink slip require
ment, the House leaders would restore
the provisions Of the 1926 law under
which the President was ..'authorized"
to make income tax returns public
under rules and regulations promul-
gated under him. The returns were
not made public under that law in the
past.
Inspection Permitted.
That 1926 law, however, permits
congressional committees, the Joint
Congressional Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation, State tax officials,
Federal agents and stockholders of
corporations to inspect tax returns.
House leaders said they felt sure
the House would vote to repeal the
pink slip requirement.

Announced In New York.

J. P. Morgan's plan to auction his
collection of miniatures in London
was announced at his New York Of
fees Tuesday. About 900 miniatures,
among them some of the best extant,
are involved. The collection has been
appraised at 100000. but art dealers
said it was impossible to estimate
what they would bring on the open
market
Already this year Morgan had sold
six paintings for sl,500,000 and had
placed on the market two estates, one
of which he bought a few years ago
for about 100000. He announced
when he sold the pictures that he de-
sired to place his estate in a more
liquid condition.
The flnancier has said nothing
about his personal plans, however, and
speculation has been rife.
