Here's an entirely new angle in
the girl-and-boSs situation. Th!S
time the triangle is not husband.
wife and girl, but father, son and
girl.
The young siren in the case
snares the affections of both
father and son, and the conquest
goes to the older man, while the
son, to forget his disillusionment
with the girl and his broken
friendship with his father, is en-
barking as a sailor before the
mast.
The boy, rather than the Secre-
tary, is quitting, and he wonders
if Prof. Smith will award him any
laurels for that! But read the
sons letter.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"When Prof. Harold Smith said
that the perfect secretary is one
who would quit her job when she
found herself falling in love with
her boss, he didn't take into con-
SideratiOn such q triangle as ours
that of two bosses, a father and
son, both in love with a gold-dig-
ging girl.
WANTS TO FORGET
"If you honor me with a reply
to this letter 1 Shan't see it, for
I am about to enlist in the crew
Of a ship sailing round Cape Horn.
1 want to forget everything in my
life which has happened up 10 date
my old home, my father, to
whom was devoted, and the
young schemer who in a few
weeks will be my step-mOther.
"ThiS is how come. A girl
two years younger than 1 am
came to work in my fathers office
as his secretary. We're not mutt
milliOnaireS, but just a well-eStab-
liShed American manufacturing
firm, which had pretty tough sled
ding during the depression. Still,
my dad is well enough off to ap-
peal to the gold-digging sister
hood.
my fathers attention was first
drawn to this girl, because he
imagined she spent too much
time lowering around my desk.
He had one or two fatherly talks
with her, in which he suggested
her a job in some other office.
But here's where she failed to
comply with Prof. Smiths speci'
fications. She didn't want an
other job, and the upshOt of these
personal interviews was that she
completely bewitched my father,
age So.
"Tt was as pitiful as it was
funny to see him, when he re
turned from a clandeStine lunch
or dinner with this young siren
"And when / would demand of
her what it was all about, she
would tell me she was winning
him over to u.s. But what she
was winning was my father as a
huSband-nOt as a father-in-law'
WINNING FATHER
"My father had declined ia
take me in partnership with him
chiefly on account of this girl
telling me 1 was not stable
enough for such business respOn
sibility.
"And when the girl discovered
wasn't to be a partner, she
made a dead set for my old man!
when a father and son find
themselves in love with the same
woman, the situation is as primi
tive as it is impossible. Perhaps
it went in the cave-dayS, and
the son SIugged his old man, OF
his old man slugged him-but

EGNoRONATION" is a word that
" is on every pair of lips these
days. Coronation fashions are the
vogue, coronation colors find their
way into decoration, and now we
have a CORONATION" pattern in
silver plate. To introduce this pat
tern, the silversmiths made up a
lot of small, beautiful spoons, bon
bon or nut spoons, or to be used as
a small serving spoon. They were
originally made to be sold for 81,
and are of fine plate. But they're
being offered, while they last, as a
special at Csc, by a downtown store.
The pattern is really beautiful,
graceful and regal. A spoon would
make a nice small gift for Christ
mas, or a good bridge prize.

MEMORIAL FAVORED
ON ANACOSTIA RIVER
Senator Thomas Says Jefferson
Site Would Balance That
of Lincoln.

The logical place for the proposed
Thomas Jefferson Memorial is on the
banks of the Anacostia River, where
it would form the Eastern end OF the
main axis Of the Capital development.
balancing the Lincoln Memorial at
the western end, in the opinion OF
Senator Elbert D. Thomas, Democrat,
of Utah.
Senator Thomas, a member OF the
Jefferson Memorial Commission, ex-
pressed opposition to the suggestion
that it be placed at the Tidal Basin.
The Tidal Basin, he contends, al
ready is one of the beauty spots OF
the Capital, with its circle of cherry
blossoms, and he believes efforts to
make 1t more beautiful would only
tend to mar its attractiveness.
With the Capitol as the central
point, the Utah Senator pictured the
possibility Of widening and beautify-
ing the area along East Capitol street,
harmonizing with the development
which extends westward through the
Mall, If the Jefferson Memorial were
placed en- the shore of the Anacostia
River. The Senator declared that II

ton that had been advanced In the

INJUNCTION OPPOSED
IN PINBALL CASE
Government Fights Company's
Attempt to Prevent Seizure
of Machines.

Taking the position the public in
terest is involved, the Government to-
day opposed, in the United States
Court of Appeals, the petition of the
Pioneer Novelty Distributing Corp.
for temporary Injunction against
police seizure of pinball machines
pending disposal of its appeal
In written brief, Assistant United
States Attorney John ]. Wilson cited
the statement by Trial Justice Daniel
w. O'Donoghue that pinball games
take $30,000,000 annually from the
Washington public.
After a lengthy trial of a suit
brought by distributing firm to en-
join police action against the ma
chimes, Justice O'Donoghue ruled two
weeks ago that the games were gam
bling devices and subject to seizure as
"evil chattels." He later refused to
grant q temporary injunction while
the appeal was being prosecuted.
Wilson told the Court of Appeals
Federal equity rules vest the trial JUS
tice with the discretion as to whether
such q temporary order should be is
sued and that the appellate tribunal
should not question the exercise of
that discretion. He also pointed out
that the Pioneer Corp. already has dis
posed of many of its machines, so that
It cannot possibly suffer considerable
loss through action against its
property.

DEPOS|TORSU URGED
TO GET DIVIDENDS
Only Small Number Call
at Three Closed Banks
to Collect Checks.

Despite the imminence of Christmas
and need for Christmas shopping
funds, a surprisingly small number of
depositors in three closed banks are
calling for the additional dividends
now being paid out.
Ofhcials in charge today urged de-
positors of the District National Bank,
the Northeast Savings Bank and the
Franklin National Bank to call for
the checks which they have been noti-
fed are ready for them.
The District National Bank yester-
day paid out only 225 checks, al
though postal cards had been mailed
notifying 600 people to call yesterday.
AS a result, a thousand more persons
were notified officially and an addi-
tional 1000 cards were sent out, max
ing a total of $500 cards so far. More
will follow.
The Northeast Savings Bank, pay
ing off at Eighth and H streets north
east, sent out 500 cards for the first
day, but delivered only 225 checks.
Justus S. Wardell. receiver for these
two banks, said today he hoped there
would be a larger response, as the
checks are ready.
The Franklin Liquidating Trust, Of
which Samuel M. Thrift is executive
secretary, paid out about 1000 checks
yesterday on its second day of max
ing disbursements at special tem-
porary office at 1726 Pennsylvania
avenue.
Meantime an agent buying receiv-
ers' certificates from two closed banks
today increased his offer to depos-
itors of the District National Bank.
Lester Dutt announced he would
raise the price paid for receivers GER
tificates of the District National from
so per cent of the remainder to 60
per cent of the remainder. The 50 per
cent offer was the same as the divi-
dend being disbursed by the receiver.
which amounts to Is per cent OF the
original amount deposited In the bank.
The agents offer for certificates
from the Federal American Bank
continued today at 40 per cent OF
the remainder, which would be 20
per cent of the original deposit.
In both the Federal and District
Banks depositors had received one
dividend Of so per cent.

CHARGE
FIGHT WEIGHED
0'Brien Case Trio May Ask
That Indictments
Be Quashed.

A legal attack on the validity of
indictments charging them with per-
jury was being considered today by
three men who were indicted by the
District grand jury yesterday because
their memories failed them when
called to the witness stand in the
recent trial of six alleged members
of the 'Warring mob" on assault
charges.
j. Joseph Donohue and Myron Ehr-
Itch, counsel for the trio, said they
were studying the indictments with a
view to asking the court to quash
them.
The indicted witnesses are Joseph
Edward O'Brien, William r. Carpen-
ter and Harry Behrle. Committed
to Jail after the indictments were re-
turned, the men subsequently were
released on bond, $4,000 being posted
by O'Brien and $500 each by Car
penter and Behrle.
The assault charges grew out OF
the shooting of O'Brien last July.
When called to the witness stand in
District Court he couldn't remember
any details of the shooting or identify
any of the defendants as having been
among his assailants, although he
admitted he was we'll acquainted with
them. Similar lapses of memory were
suffered by Carpenter and Behrle,
who were supposed to have been eye
witnesses to the shooting.
Despite the failure of these princi-
pal witnesses to give discriminating
testimony, all six of the defendants
were convicted.
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett said he would seek an early
trial of the three witnesses on the
perjury charge.
