H. H. Dearing, the new Office head,

Alexandria Dummy's Fate
Debated in Building Change

Years Is to Be Concerted Into
Apartment House.

The fate of the dummy which for
% years has occupied a seat in a
front window of the Express Spark
Plug Building on Washington street,
Alexandria, remained uncertain today
with the announcement of plans for
remodeling the 100-year- structure
into an apartment house.
John Loughran, who owns the
building, admits that he doesn't know
what to do with the man, about whom
a thousand different stories are told.
He has received a number of ideas
on the subject, but will entertain more
suggestions before deciding the
mans" fate. Numbers of persons.
including Loughran's own niece, have
requests in for the dummy.
Many Suggestions Made.
Among the suggestions which have
been made to Loughran is one that
the dummy should be given an apart
ment and permitted to sit unmolested
in a window. Other ideas range all
the way from placing him in the
glass cupola on top of the building to
employing him as silent firemen or
elevator boy. No matter what hap
pens Loughran is certain the man"
will be given a happy home.
The job of modernizng the old
building, which is an Alexandria land
mark, has already been started.
Loughran has employed A. B. Low

ICHITA. s.--Miss Pearl
L'Heureux of the Wichita police de-
partment recently advised a group
of club women that there is a time
when wife is entitled TO make the
purchase of horse whip TO make
her husband step into line.
Such time arrives, she said when
a husband starts using up the family
savings his wife helped TO accumu-
late to spend on broadway" girls.
But the horse whip should not fall
upon the shoulders of hubby alone,
Miss L'HeureuX added, but it also
should crack down on the back of his
little playmate.

Miss LHeurenx. II would want to

whip"
Women come to me continually
and want me to do something about
the old situation where a husband
rises from in front of a CHEEKY fire,
knocks the cat from his lap. kicks
off his carpet slippers and dons OK
fords and sallies forth to find some
girl half his age or that of his wife.
He then buys her fur coats. jewelry.
presents Of all kinds, and perhaps
rents her an apartment.
These women ask me what | can
do. and will not believe me when l
say there is nothing police can do.
They think the statute books are
filled with laws to handle such sit
nations. There is no law that tells
slightly bald old cut-up that he
cannot lavish his coin on a cutey.
There being no law to handle such
a situation, / can only advocate the
purchase by the wife of horse whip.

Miss L'HeureuX advocates the whip
only when the savings the wife
helped to accumulate are involved.
She also contends heart balm is
nothing but legalized blackmail, and
feels all states should have laws
making heart balm Illegal.

Were you separated from your

not quite clear on that point.
Not knowing your husband, ! am

it is too late, that one good woman's
love and loyalty are worth more than
anything else in the world-ever and
ever so much more than the cheap
affection of women who will run

And about the divorce. Would you

We're growing old;
But Time hath brought no sign,

That hearts grow cold.
IT'S long, long since our new love
Made life divine;
But age enricheth true love,
Like noble wine.
And lay thy cheek to mine, dear,
And take thy rest;
Mine arms around thee Irvine, dear,
And make thy nest.
A many cares are pressing
On this dear head;
But Sorrows hands in blessing
Are surely laid.

On my young tree:
And so, till boughs are leafess,
And songbirds flown,
