Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckn1an

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
What would you suggest as
the attitude I should take to-
ward a young man who asks me
to correspond with him, and as
! wish to carry on the CORE
spondence, I write him long, in
teresting letters, and he answers
with a short note written in his
office . always in hurry?
Would you believe that he
really wishes to hear from me?
HOPEFUL.
don't believe that 1 can be
as hopeful" as your signature
about his enthusiasm in con-
tinuing the correspondence.
However, you and l may be
very unfair to him. He may
be an extremely busy person,
with such heavily scheduled
days that letter-writlng is a
pleasure for which he finds lit
tie or no time or opportunity.
Increasingly we must under
stand this in this rushing mod
ern life. Also to some people,
to you, for instance, letter-Writ-
ing is delight, never a chore,
never something to be post
poned. These people, as my
mother used to say. write
letter as easily as they drink a
glass of water" Perhaps this
friend is not one of this for
tunate number. At least, how
ever, you must admit that he
doesn't altogether disregard
your letters and so even his
brief notes may give you the
"hopefulness" to which you
would apparently like to cling.

The NeW Moon

The new moon hangs low down
in the west;
Why, little moon, ah why,
Is my heart now sad, when once
it was glad,
Whenever you came in the
sky?
Now, when you come there is a
vague unrest;
Why, little moon, ah why,
Do my eyes fill with tears at the
thought Of the years
Forever and ever gone by?
A little star lies close on your
breast
Dear little moon, good-by;
I'll turn not my shoulder, for
now I am older,
And have learned the worlds
lesson-that's why.

Every one knows Omar Khay-

"A Book of Verses underneath
the Bough,
A jug of Wine, a Loaf of
Bread-and Thou -"
But do you know, too, that
every pas Of the Rubaiyat sings
with beauty, from the glorious
first lines describing the dawn:
wake! for the Sun, who scat
ter'd into flight
The Stars before him from the
Field of Night :"
to that final echo of a lovers
age-old cry:
"Ah Love! could you and I with
Him conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme Of
Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits
and then
Re-mould it nearer to the
Hearts Desired"
What beautiful passages
where the poet sees shining
through the Dusk and Angel

DERHAPS to the accompani-
4 ment Of a tinkling piano
you may have heard an aunt,
or even a grea aunt, sing "'Tls
Love That Makes the World Go
Round"
And, if you belong to the pres
ent generation, you may have
wondered in amazement at the
elderly lady's warbling this
ditty, then asked yourself the
question:
What about the accessories"
How can love make the world
60 round if I haven't any of the
things which command love
opportunities, appearance, back
ground? How am I going to win
love if I look dowdy, haven't the
price of a permanent and my
purse is as bare of a lipstick and
compact as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard was bare of a bone?
HIGH COST
Some such questions as these
must have been agitating our
handsome and formidable con-
temporary. The British Fe-
male" when she made such a
row over the lack of these things
that Great Britain's Minister OF
Labor began an inquiry into the
cost of living. And living, my
sisters, includes the cost of cos
meticS.
The inquiry will be based on
working-clas1 family needs and
the wages of 1,250,000 have al

turn in her grave if she is per-
mitted to know that working
mems wives and daughters in
clude silk stockings and lipsticks
among the neceSSarieS of life?
No such items as these appeared
in the workingman's budget be-
fore the World War.
With pallid lips and cotton
stoc Il ings, the workingman's
daughter took chances on get
ting her man. Silk stockings
and lipsticks were regarded as
luxuries for the upper classes.
Today, the woman industrial
worker almost considers them in
the same class as rent, food,
light, clothing-"StockingS are
clothing, aren't they?" she asks
of the volunteers who are max
ing the house-to-house survey for
Labor Minister Ernest Brown.
All of which leads us back to
that grand old bromide, How
the world has changed"
CHANGED FOR BETTER
And I, for one, think the
woman's world has changed for
the better in the matter OF
beauty. To find a downright
ugly, dowdy girl today is al
most as hard to find as a set
of hens teeth. Girls may not
be pretty but they know how
to get round that with a good
makeup, becoming clothes, a
smart carriage-and last, but
not least, a good speaking voice.
Look round any place where
women are gathered together
movies, theater, church or on
the busy city streets-and you'll
see a comely bunch, easy on the
eyes. Compare them with those
old photographs in the family
album. How much better look

BABA WITH FRUIT

Make a sponge of a quarter
pound of sifted flour, one yeast

D. c. TAX QUESTION
DELAY SUGGESTED
Copeland Urges Discussion Be
Postponed Until Lump Sum
Is Determined.

Discussion of new taxes for the Dis.
trict should be put of until Congress
has settled the basic question Of what
the Federal payment Is going to be
in the future toward upkeep of the
Capital, Senator Copeland, Democrat
of New York, said today.
I'VE had better leave the tax ques-
ton alone until We see how the main
issue comes out" Copeland stated.
Whenever additional taxes to be i'm
posed on the District are suggested, 1t
merely opens the way for smaller
lump sum as the Federal share"
Copeland, who returned today for
the convening OF Congress, is an active
member Of both the District Legisla-
tive Committee and the Subcommittee
on District Appropriations. On the
subcommittee he has consistently ad-
vocated q more equitable apportion-
ment Of District expenses between the
Federal and local governments.

repeal of the Red Rider which pro-
hibits District teachers from teaching

BACK PAY DENIED
UNDER DENT ACT
Hope Of 1900 Wartime
Mechanics to Collect ST..
600, 900 Hit by Ruling.

Hopes Of some 1000 wartime me-
chanics to collect $1,000, 900 from the
Federal Government in back wages
met with, a setback today when. the
United States Court of Appeals refused
to order the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to pay one Of the claims, which
admittedly was typical Of the others.
The claims arose under the Dent
act, which was passed to secure to
workers payment of wage increases
ordered by the War Labor Board dur
ing the World War, but not at onceput
into effect by the private employers.
E. N. Cloutier. plaintiff in the case
here, was . n1achinist for the Mime
apolis Steel Co., which refused to pay
him at the increased rate ordered by
the Labor Board while hearings and
negotiations on the matter were in
progress. The difference amounted to
$2s4.96. :.
The Dent act authorized the Secre-
tary of War to pay such claims and
counsel for Cloutier maintained that
there was . pre-emptory duty upon the
Secretary Of the Treasury to make
such disbursements out of the general
funds Of the Government.
United States Attorney Leslie C..
Garnett and his assistant, Cecil r.
Heflin, argued on the other hand.
that the Treasury head was not under
any such mandatory duty and that
claims under the Dent act must be
paid by special appropriation.
Adopting this view, the appellate
court said that In no case could the
Secretary Of. the Treasury disburse
funds without Q congressional appro-

10000 cubic yards Of I'LL are being
secured from the foundation of the
Apex building. Part of this earth is
being used in section one Of the Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway in the
vicinity of the Titanic memorial.
Later, more earth will be trucked to
East Potomac Park, along the Potomac
riverside, between the Rose Garden
and Hams Point. That section has
been subjected to flooding with con-
sequent killing Of many Of the cherry
trees Finnan said the grade viii be
raised to combat this condition. OF
the 500 trees In the affected area,
some already have been raised. New
trees also Will be planted.
From the foundation for the Gov
ernment Printing Once extension,
the. park authorities are obtaining
some $4,000 cubic yards Of earth,
which Is being utilized at the end Of
