refer to one of the most fla.
grant abuses among male street
car riders.
I came here six months ago
from Atlanta, Ca, to work IN
one of the Government depart
ments. I ride the street cars
every day, to and from work.
In the six months I have had
to stand UP in the aisle while
the men sat comfortably in a.
seat by the window, snugly rest
full, complacently ignorant Of
my discomfort and the embar-
rasSment of other women riders.
Yesterday, while on a car
bound for Glen Echo, rode
standing beside an elderly lady
who appeared to be about IS
years old. There were six other
women and two men standing
in the aisles. The seats were
occupied mostly by men.
No one offered the elderly
lady a seat. Finally I had to
approach one young man and
ask him to kindly get up and let
the old lady sit down. He got
up, but the man sitting beside
him held on to his seat as though
he were afraid it would get away
from him.
Can't something be done about
educating Washington men in
the manly art of giving a lady

Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

A man is never happy as
when he is giving a woman lad
vice"--and he is always lad
vising" some woman about some
thing.
When a woman marrieS a
man, she acquires an authenic
human edition of the "Ency-
clopedia Britannica" that can
tell her all about everything
and insists on doing it!
Some children can't take calo-
mel, and some women can't take
advice. The latter are always
either Spinsters until they are
forty-or divorces before they
are thirty.
A man may admire an intelli-
gent woman, but the woman he
loves is the one who hangs on to
his coat-lapel and begs him to
TELL her "all about" some
thing she knows more about
than he does.
The average man could &C.
complish twice as much in this
world if he did not spend half
his life in telling a woman how
to do things.
After a woman, through her
intuition and ingenuity has
found out how to do something,
a man can always stand around
and tell her a better way of doing
it. Before marriage, it is rather
thrilling to discover what Big,
Beautiful, Wonderful Mentality
you have captured. 1t makes
you feel so little and tender and
helpless. But after marriage, you
discover that his solicitude was
not inspired by love of YOU
but by love OF giving advice"
Every husband is a little "effi.
cheney expert" in the home!
He can tell a woman about how
Europe could pay her war debt,
while he is wondering where the
money for the next quarterly
payment on his income tax is
coming from.

For years, Hollywood has

eyes on his score card. Not only
was he a wizard on the green
but the best of good fellows to

Prominent screen stars-Guy
Kibbee, Oliver Hardy, Bing

of others, all were proud to call
him friend. In a city Of bizarre
and often lawless pranks, Mon

The little town of Seanuri in the
Ubidea sector, Is miles from Bill

savage MoorS, the terrible Scouree
of towns that are taken or destroy

Thirteen tri-motored bombers fol-

The latter began dropping in
cendiary bombs. They continued
dropping bombs until p. m. and
eight pursuit planes flew low, STRAIT

Guernica is surrounded by noun
tains and the population fled, seek
ing refuge in the forests. but they
were almost annihilated by pur-
suit planes which followed and
machine gunned them.
I abandoned my automobile and
took refuge under bridge, re-
manning there more than an hour
and a half watching the destruc-

was destroyed.
Then I entered the town.
Rescuers, reaching Jose Finas
hospital, found the sick had been
burned to death in their beds.
The only military objectives in
Guernica-the town barracks and
a war factory-were not touched.
1t was apparent that the in
surgent aviators wanted to mas
sacre the population and destroy
the town.
The rebels lied when they said
they were not responsible for the
bombardment. 1t seems that they
are trying to destroy the Basque
race.
