AXE VICTIM WAS BURIED TODAY

Berlin, Feb 20-(UP)-Baroness Benita won Berg, beautiful society woman beheaded Monday for espionage, was buried today in an atmosphere of sombrousness made more poignant because the morn- ing was the first one of sparkling sunshine since fall. Eight pall- bearers carried the heavy oak cof- fin through the fashionable ceme- tery of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memo- rial church in the West Berlin suburbs, to corner where be- headed persons must lie. A dozen relatives followed the coffin. car- rying magnificent wreaths without ribbons. They threw a few hand- fuls of earth into the grave after the coffin had been lowered and stayed there a few minutes in silence.
 There was no clergyman. no pealing of bells and no word of funeral ceremony. The cemetery is flanked by the tall chimneys of the Siemens factory where the grave faces the magnificent tomb- baroness devoted divorced husband works as an aviation engineer. Her stone of the aristocrat Libermann von Wallenburg, inscribed Faith full to His King: Faithful to His Fatherland. Killed in France 1916"

HENRY FORD AT
 PEACE WITH MIRA

Washington, Feb 20.-(UP)-- The long and spectacular battle which MIRA waged with Henry Ford over his refusal to formally accept the Blue Eagle was ended today in apparent victory for Ford.
 Government departments. once prohibited from buying Fords be- cause the Detroit motor company refused to sign the MIRA code. have purchased 435 Fords in recent weeks. All bars against Fords have been removed.
 Ford still hasn't signed the code.
 The first act of equalization, it was revealed, was made late last fall when the interior department purchased one Ford as "test" of the MIRA ruling. Nothing hap pened.
 The war with Ford was begun by Gen Hugh s, Johnson, while he was the one-man head of NRA Ford never was charged with non- compliance. but he consistently re- fuAed to sign a certificate.
 With the passing of Johnson and the appointment of a -fnan MIRA board the air gradually cleared. The dispute was allowed to lapse. The government appears now to have "buried the hatchet."

New York, Feb 2O.-(UP)- Stocks declined to more than ] points today under the lead of
 railroad and utility shares. Utilities with their fixed income are considered the heaviest suf- ferers under the MIRA. Fearing an extension of the act, traders sold the stocks. The Dow-Jones utility average broke to a record low. Railroad companies also have fixed income, and while they have not yet come under a code, they suffer through any increased costs such as wage advances and higher prices for materials. Prices in the group declined 1 to more than 2 points and the railroad average came within point of its low since 1888.
 Selling spread to industrial is- sues where steels, motors, amuse- ments, farm implement shares, to- baccos and special issues declined A few stocks moved up against the trend, including Fairbanks Morse
 issues, Mesta Machine and Texas Land Trust, all of which made new 1885 highs.
 United States government bonds many of which made record high: yesterday, turned down today with the general bond list. Trading in bonds and in stocks was lighter than in the previous session. Com
 modities were barely steady except grains which declined fractions to more than a cent a busheF under the lead of wheat. The dollar was firmer in terms of foreign eX- change.
 Among .the issues to make new
 lows in the utility group on the biz
 board were Public Service of New Jersey at 20 1-2 off 1 3-4: Public Service per cent preferred 62 1-z off 8 1-2; Consolidated Gas 15 7-s off 1 IA; Consolidated preferred
 72 1-2 off 2 1-2: American Water Works 10 off 1-2; North American 10 1-8 off 1; and United Gas Inn provement g 3-8 off IA.
 At the low of the day Union Pa cific sold at 99 off 2A; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 43 off 1R Baltimore & Ohio 11A off 1b
 Great Northern 13% off h and New York Central 16k off 1A.
 United States Steel was depress- ed to 35N off 1A and other steels lost fractions to a point. American Can, Allied Chemical, Chrysler, General Motors, International Har- vester, Case. Loew's, U. s. Steels, and Du Pont were off fractions to nearly points.
 Oil shares did a little better than other issues, featured by heavy trading in Texas Pacific Land Trust which reached II up l and new high. Wet stocks were steady. WoolWorth firmed slightly

Girl
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Written Exclusively for The
Washington Times
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a law student here in
Washington, and the principal
part of my expenses are being
paid by two older sisters in a
Western State.
It's up to me to make good,
and I find one lovely face comes
too often between me and the
law textbooks which I have diff.
ficulty in following, owing to
said face.
I've taken this girl out few
times, but I want to drop her
and forget her. The last time
invited her out, she refused.
Should I ask her out again?
LAW STUDENT.
Not if you want to forget her
and Danish the vision of the
lovely face between you and the
textbooks. She has declined your
last invitation, which is an ex-
cellent way Of beginning to taper
off.

Try Again

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I didn't fall for him till five
or six weeks ago, when 1 gave
little informal supper party
for our class, but I just can't
get him to take me out on a
date.
He goes to our school dances,
but always as a stag. He will
dance with me a few times
and then spend the rest of the
evening looking at me.
I can't understand why he
doesn't invite me out, because
he has money and a car, and
I've made it plain to him that
I'd be glad to have him call
some evening.
I feel that, as I invited him
to my party and he paired off
with me, he should invite me
out. But after that party he
took a whole week before he
started paying any attention to
me again. l.. ].
This young man strikes me
as having a very bad case of
bashfulness, and I think you
may have to invite him to an
other informal supper party be-
fore you bring him around.
Why not make up a foursome
and go to the movies?
AS one girl said to me: It
takes a tractor almost to get
one of these bashful fellows
started.
