BY HELEN ROWLAND

Many a philanderer thinks he
would be a one-woman man If he
could only decide WHICH one.
Whether it's a gangster or a
husband-the difficult feat, in
these days, is not catching q man,
but making him STAY caught.
A woman may warm over an
old romance; but, to q man, moth
ing is so completely refrigerated
beyond the point Of de-froSting as
last years slender passion"
Not every woman who makes
her second or third trip to Reno
is a disillusioned peSsimist. She
is more likely to be an incurable
optimist, starting out on a brand
new quest for the perfect love" "
The best way to settle that ever
burning question Of whether men
really prefer blondes to brunettes
is to ask the girl who has been
both.
If being in love with you doesn't
keep a mans eyes from rowing
to other women, never imagine
that q little thing like marriage
is going to cramp his style.
Many a man makes the mistake
Of lavishing so much money on a
girl during courtShip that his
least attempt to economize, after
marriage, makes her think him a
tightwad.
It takes an awfully strong
minded woman to refrain from
adding q postscript to q letter
or an encore to q love-affair.

Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossom festival which citizen groups
planning will be in the nature of celebration Of the fact that
the Japanese trees around the Tidal Basin and in West
Potomac Park survived the disastrous flood.
Had the trees been drowned by the flood was at first
feared would have required years replace them provided
they could have been replaced.
The festival this year. therefore, will be thanksgiving that
this beauty landmark of the city has been preserved
Judging from preliminary plans the festival will be on
grand scale and will be entirely worthy Of the charm and
attractiveness of the trees.
Other communities which fortunate enough to have fea
lures similar to but surprising the beautiful trees here
have long made practice to conduct annual festivals
While occasionally in the past the bossomg Of the cherry
trees has been greeted with ceremona is regrettabe that
the custom has not become regular and consistent
This year there will be at least parade and several
other entertainment features.

LONDON THEATERS

In London, going to the theater
is still an event, an adventure.
The "stallS" filled with rows and
rows of men and women all in
formal evening clothes, the rapture
with which old favorites are re-
ceived. all add to the occasion.
Then, too, until recently there was
always the possibility Of hearing
the orchestra snap into the ma
tional anthem and the audience
rise as a Short-bearded gentleman
and an impressive, StatueSque lady
entered the royal box.
For the royal couple were great
patrons of the theater and never
missed a good play. Even though
they were attending without any
fuss or fanfare, the event somehow
took on a gala air.
Then, too, there was the added
thrill Of sometimes spotting a slim,
blond young man, perhaps with
several friends and sometimes just
with another young man, and
realizing that the Prince Of Wales
had also elected to patronize the
same show as that which you had
selected.
There are other fascinating
phases of theater-going in London,

THIS picture, showing machinery in the
i United States as compared with other
tions, is not exaggerated, if you take nations
separately.
There is as much machine power in this one
country as there is in all the rest Of the world
put together.
The actual power of production in this land
of 13O,000,000 people is equal to the mechanical
producing power of all the rest of the world,
with its 1,7OO,OOO,OOO population outside of the
United States.
Show this picture to your friend who igno-
rantly says, "Our trouble is, too mach ma
chinery.. We overproduce, and then comes
panic
Our prosperity is based on machinery, and
acithoat our gigantic production capacity, our
machines surprising the rest of the world, we
should go back to the primitive days of our
early American ancestors, when only one me-
chanic in the United States was able to earn
as much as one dollar day all the year round.
Then, farmers cut the grain by hand with the
scythe, threshed it by hand, with the fail on
the floor, women did their washing, ironing and
sweeping by hand, no electric power to make
life easier.
