Immediately

Then start, as soon as pos
sible, to prepare your guest list,
and ask your fiance and his
family to prepare theirs. These
lists take time and extreme
care, to avoid Implications, to
decide who is to be invited to
the ceremony and who to the
reception, to choose the form
and type of invitation, to have
them engraved. Your invita-
tions must be mailed at least
three weeks before the wedding
day, and you should allow two
or three weeks for the engraver
to fill the order. When you
have figured out the approx
mate number of invitations that
you will need, add a few extra
to this number for friends you
may have overlooked. Have the
envelopes sent at once. so that
they can be addressed and
stamped, ready to receive the
invitations when they arrive.

and DeSist Order.

One set of charges against the Dis
trict of Columbia Exclusive Retail
Liquor Dealers Association was
dropped by the Federal Trade Com
mission during the proceedings in
which it also issued cease and de-
sist order against five large national
distillers. At the same time it was
made clear yesterday the commission
wanted it known that it would press
to the limit previous separate charges
filed against the retail association, the
local wholesale liquor association and
certain individual wholesalers oper-
ating in the District
1t was explained the charges dropped
Friday were merely those originally
connected with the national distillery
cases in papers drawn at the same
time. Under the new set-up the pros
ecution of local operators will be sepa :
rated entirely from proceedings against
the national companies.
The Washington associations and
individuals now stand accused of main
tanning the resale price OF liquor in
the District in unfair restraint of
competition and trade.

ADMIRERS VA|NLY
BES|EGE SHIRLEY
Phone Rings Constantly at
Suite, but Crowds Are
Not Encouraged.

The telephone rings constantly in
Jim Denton'S suite at the Mayflower
Hotel. All because Mr.. Denton Is the
fellow from the goth Century Fox pub
licity department who has been as
signed the task Of accompanying Miss
Shirley Temple on her quiet" vaca-
ton tour.
1t rings couple Of dozen times
day because people want to know
When is Shirley leaving the hotel?"
The answer from Mr. Denton's secre-
tary, Of course; always Is I'm not
sure" Miss Temples parents aren't
exactly avoiding crowds on this tour
which has brought Shirley to WASH
ington as q sightseer, but neither are
they encouraging them.
Calls Are Futile.
The telephone also wants to know
q lot Of other things, such as:
Can you have Shirley come out
and have her picture taken with my
two daughters? can have it printed
in the So-and-So Weekly"
Can you fix 1t up for my daughter
to meet Shirley Temple? She was
born on the same day and her name is
Shirley, too."
But none of the calls do any good.
Shirley would like to sit down and
play with dolls with every girl who
wants to but time is time and there
is only one Shirley Temple.
But still little girls who look like
Shirley Temple and little girls who
just want to look at Shirley Temple
flock around the Mayflower lobby.
Eats Sensible Lunch.
Yesterday when Shirley had lunch
and dinner in the dining room they
flocked about, some all dolled up in
their Sunday best, frilled and fiuffed
to- fare-you- well. hair curled neatly
in the best Temple manner; some in
wilted halter -and-shorts play outfits,
their hair wilted. too.
Meanwhile Miss Temple goes on
serenely. She eats a sensible little
girls lunch of pea soup. mixed vege-
tables and glass of milk. topped of
with slice of cold ham snitched
from her fathers luncheon. Then
she goes sight seeing to Arlington,

P.W.A. BORROWING
CAUTION URGED
Rufus Lusk Warns Against
Increased Costs of
Operation.

As municipal officials awaited ap-
proval by Public Works Administrator
Ickes of the long list of urgently
needed" projects proposed for the Dis
trict, the Washington Taxpayers As
sociation yesterday issued a warning
that sharp increase in operating
costs would result if the entire local
P. w. A. program is carried out in
the next year or two.
In letter to Commissioner Melvin
c. HaZen. Rufus S. Lusk, president of
the association, recommended that
the program be effected over a period
Of years on pay as you go basis so
that operating costs would mount
slowly.
Let's not rush in and spend with
out the fullest scrutiny Of each pro-
posal and its ultimate cost" Mr.. Lusk
urged. What is suggested is SIM
pie businesslke procedure that any
business man would follow in starting
new enterprise
Sees Added Burden.
Referring to the $l8.l50,000 pro-
kl all NIllIlt lliC idN Z
asked P. w. A. to approve. Mr.. Lusk
asserted if this huge sum is spent for
new plants within the next year or
two, 1t is inevitable that during the
fiscal year beginning July l, 194l, at
least another million dollars will be
added to the operating costs of the
District of Columbia-and it may be
much more"
Recently he said. he tried to as
certain at the District Building how
much operating and maintenance
costs would increase if all these Capt.
tai expenditures are made, but found
it impossible to get the information.
He pointed out however, that it is a
= well-known fact that as Capital ex-
penditures increase, operating costs
go up. The increases, however, are
not in the same proportion in all de-
partments, he continued, since money
put into schools, hospitals and jails
will produce a larger annual expense
than money that goes, for example,
into streets, bridges, sewers, water
mains, etc.
NctdtiOl Ill luVcStuent.
He said that, while comparison
of the increase in operating costs to
Capital outlay over a period of years
only approXmateS the increases that
may result from the P. w. A. pro-
gram. there is a relation between in
vestment in plant and operating costs.
In the period from 1929 to 1888, in
elusive, S68, ,033 was spent for
Capital expenditures, exclusive of the
Water and Highway Departments
During this same period. he pointed
out, the annual operating and main
tenance costs rose to $6.743,l4l, re-
sulting in an increased operating cost
of 9.85 cents for each dollar invested
In new plant
There is little prospect of present
taxation producing any more revenue
than is being produced now" Mr.. Lusk
continued. Building. which must
provide any increased yield from real
estate. has fallen off perceptibly in the
city; new residential construction is
increasingly going outside the city
limits. This exodus of taxpayers from
Washington is due in part to higher
real estate taxes here than in the
counties. Any proposal to get in
creased revenue from this source will
produce less revenue because more

down to a more reasonable speed as
they crossed the District line.

that you don't like to travel fast"
He gave her curious glance. "Peo-
pie who are going somewhere in this
world usually travel slowly"
Joyce was thoughtful for mo-
ment, feeling vaguely troubled. She
looked at his hands, thin and brown,
wrapped around the wheel. She saw
a fraternity ring on one finger and
frowned at it. wondering If he ap-
preciated any of the nice things
which came to him 50 easily.
Il wonder how he would react"
she thought gloomily, If he had to
fight for himself-if he were faced
by an obstacle, and there were no
paid hands to assist him over it?"
Craig's thoughts were just as gloomy.
Joyce was much too lovely for his
peace of mind.
He gave voice to thought that
was suddenly seeming important.
Are you in love with DR.. Bill, Joyce?"
He looked quickly away from her,
frowning at the road ahead as he
waited for her reply.
She said quietly. 1T would be i'm
possible for me to fall in love with

Craig swung the wheel over quickly
and the outside tires regained the
pavement. Joyce looked straight
ahead, assailed by a sense Of guilt,
feeling that her remark savored of
disloyalty to DR.. Bill, lifelong friend
to the Adairs.
The roadster was slowing down. A
side road appeared ahead. Craig
swung the car to the right and they
were humping over narrow dirt
road. He brought the car to a stop
and extinguished the headlights.
You've made mistake, conductor"
Joyce said. My home is some miles
ahead" She felt frightened sud-
denly.
Craig twisted in the seat. He took
one of her hands in his and regarded
it intently.
He said. You take me much too
coolly. Joyce Adair I don't like it."

in his seat, regarding her rather
