ITO indulge in heavy pet
Il ting after drinking is
about as safe for the average
girl as to clean her gloves
and fripperies with gasoline,
in a room where an open fire
is burning.
This statement is based on
hundreds of letters which
have come to this column. If
you must pet, please be sober
when the petting party is
launched.
Inspired By
John Barley Corn
The pity of it is that these
petting affairs. which so often
end disaStrously for girls, are
not inspired by love. The ma
jority of them are brought about
by some precipitating situation
"a few drinks, an automobile
drive and a man sufficiently
dominating.
Characteristic phrases in a
QUESTIONABLE issued to young
college men. and quoted in a
book, Youth and Sex" are:
"a girl is easier to make if she
Is tight" and girls who go the
limit are generally drunk" and,
again, IAN alcoholic glow is 8
great help all round" The au-
thor goes on to say, in regard to
the. attitude of young men, that
it is a mixture of ineXperience
and self1Shness. They are out
for a good time and the devil
take the hindmost.
KnouD Your
OuUn Limit
While we are on the subject
of drinks and petting We might
take UP the question Of good
form in the indulgence of liquor.
Elizabeth Eldridge, author of q
book on etiquette for college
girls, has this to say:
IF you are coed who wants
to drink, it's well to say to your.
self that even the people who
think it is smart to drink think
it disgusting not to hold their
liquor. Few men admire a
drunken girl, or enjoy taking
care of a sick girl; so be certain
you can stop before you start"
1t seems strange TO a coed Of
an older generation that girls
who go to colleges today would
need advice of this sort, but ap-
parently they do. Equally sur
prising is the case of a good
many girls who put up with the
annoyance of half-sober young
men rather than 60 without
dates altogether.
More Than
A Little Sad
To me this seems a forlorn
choosing, especially when girls
drink not because they enjoy it,
but because they don't want to
appear prudish, old-fashioned,
Victorian. Such girls are ely
ing blind" not knowing at what
moment they will bump into
dangers so serious that one pre-
fers to leave them to the i'm
agination rather than discuss
them in cold print.
The average girl will go pretty
far to avoid the reputation of
being an "icicle" or "frigid."
And the average boy of college
age is undeniably a hunter. p"
Some of them try a romantic
approach, but all of them, to re-
sort to college slang, ATE frankly
curious to discover if a girl is a
hot waffle" or a cold potato. "
1t takes a clever girl to handle
the hunters with dexterity.

0'C0NNOR DENIES
WAGE BILL DEATH
Declares Measure Is Alive
and Should Pass at
This Session.
By WILL p. KENNEDY.

Vigorous and emphatic denial Of
reports that the House leadership"
Is complacent towards postponing en-
actment of the wage and hour bill
until the next Congress was made
today in prepared statement by
Chairman O'Connor of the Rules Com
mittee. He declared he Is In "com-
plete disagreement" with any such
suggestion. II believe the wage and
hour bill should be and can be passed
by the House during this session.
and shall be greatly disappointed II
such a bill is not passed." he said.
Recalling that on motion to recon-
init the bill in the last session. which
was in effect motion to kill the bill,
the vote was 216 to 1913, which meant
that only 10 votes were then needed
to pass the measure. and with II
members who did not vote-Chairman
O'Connor said today: THE attitude
Of a number OF members in reference
to the bill has changed since that
vote was taken. I firmly believe that
If the Committee on Labor would
select from among the Is or more
bills before 1t, introduced by most OF
its 81 members, wage and hour bill
which would meet some Of the objec-
tions raised last December could pass
the House"
Discussing the three features Of the
pending legislation-child labor. hours
and wages-Mr. O'Connor emphasizes
that sentiment Is almost unanimous
that child labor should be abolished" !"
Regarding hours he also finds little
disagreement because while the bill
proposes q maximum Of 40 hours, a
hours at least is q fairly we'll estab-
lished standard throughout the coun-
try, and this matter of hours could
be readily adjusted" He points out
that the chief contention in the bill
centers around the question OF wages.
''The bill last considered" he argues,
had q flexible minimum or floor
of 40 cents an hour The minimum
is not SO important as long as flexi-
bility Is maintained. It should be
fixed at the start at say 30 cents an
hour, with gradual annual increases
until it reaches 40 cents, or some other
figure arrived at, giving, as the Presi-
dent has Bald on more than one oc-
casion, a reasonable opportunity for
industry to adjust itself to the
change" He proposes that the wage
standards set up in 1884 under N. r.
A. ARE worthy of consideration"

REPUBLICANS SEEK
TAX FIGHT LEADER.
Hope to Fall in Line. With
Lamneck, Democrat, in
House Battle.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the ASSOCIATED Press.
Republican House members talked
today of getting Democrat, Repre-
sentative Iamneck Of Ohio. to lead
their fight for complete repeal Of the
undistributed profits tax
If they follow that strategy, aimed
at winning more Democratic votes,
the repeal amendment to the tax re-
vision bill would be offered in Mr..
Lamneck's name.
A vote on the proposal late today
or tomorrow was acknowledged by
legislators to be the first big test of
House sentiment on the administra-
tons tax program.
As approved by the Ways and Means
Committee, the bill would impose no
undistributed profits levy on corpora
tions having net incomes of $4,000
or less. They would pay only nor
NAL income tax of 1912 to Is per
cent.
Fight Surtax.
But larger corporations would pay
what would be, in effect. a Is per cent
income tax, plus q 1 per cent surtax
which the Republicans wanted to
eliminate.
Representative Vinson, Democrat, of
Kentucky, chairman of a subcommit-
tee which drafted the revenue bill,
predicted the Democratic majority
would have votes to spare te defeat
the repeal proposal
The vote will be followed by scraps
over the capital gains tax and a pro-
posed new surtax on closely-held cor
porations. A vote on the entire meas
ure may be reached late Wednesday,
after which the House will consider
the naval expansion program.
REORGANIZATION Bill Debate.
The Senate may complete debate
late this week on the Government
reorganization bill. Senator Byrnes,
Democrat. of South Carolina, in charge
OF the measure, said ample votes were
available to assure passage. Opponents
are making determined efforts to
modify the program.
In a statement last night, Senator
Byrd. Democrat, of Virginia asserted
the bill would keep Federal spending
above $4,000, 100000 year and would
? blast the last hope that the Govern
ment can balance its budget"
Mr.. Byrd declared the measure would
make permanent present emergency
expenditures and would result in crea-
tion Of new agencies rather than the
abolition Of existing ones.

Seek Use of U. S. Funds
To Clean Up Potomac

The West Virginia. Maryland
and Virginia State Health De-
partments have actively joined
the program to clean up Potomac
River pollution by using Federal
funds to build town sewage dis
posal plants.
West Virginia, In particular, has
seized the opportunity made pos
sihle by the statement Of Secre-
tary Of the Interior Ickes that he
will consider favorably loans and
grants to build sewage disposal
plants in towns that are now
dumping untreated sewage into
the Potomac and its tributaries.

e. 8. TiSdale, director of the
division Of sanitary engineering,
said the Health Department had
sent letters to all cities on the
Potomac and its tributaries urg-
ing them to take advantage Of
the availability Of the public funds
for this purpose. Berkeley Springs,
he said, was one Of the first to
prepare to install complete sewage
treatment under this program.
A steady program Of construc-
Eion Of sewers and sewage disposal
plants has proceeded in Maryland
since the formation Of the Poto-
mac Valley Pollution Conference

THREE D. c. DAYS
SLATED IN HOUSE
Thursday and Friday Are
Added for Debate on Ap-
preparation Bill.

District legislation is scheduled to
occupy the major portion of the time
Of the House this week
A program of the weeks activities,
sent members yesterday by Represent
ative Boland, Democrat. of Pennsyl-
vania, the majority whip, shows that
three Of the five days the House ex-
poets to work will be devoted to Dis
trict affairs.
Tomorrow will be the regular Dis
trict day" for consideration of local
bills on the calendar. Thursday and
Friday the 1899 District appropria-
ton bill will be debated.
There are only four District bills
on the House calendar which can be
called up tomorrow by Chairman
Palmisano of the District committee.
The principal one would establish
a f1ve-day. 60-hour week in the Fire
Department. The Commissioners have
estimated enactment OF this legisla-
ton would add about $500,000 a year
to the cost of the municipal govern
ment. The City Firefghters' Associa-
ton. however, has denied there would
be any additional cost if there is a re-
adjustment of the present personnel
and non-firefghting members are
assigned to active firefighting duty.
Another measure would permit re-
tlrement OF firemen and policemen at
the age Of go after 20 years service.
A third Is a Senate-approved bill re-
quiring semi-annual inspection Of all
motor vehicles. The fourth is one
which has languished on the calendar
since last March. It would give the
Commissioners greater control over
the regulation Of barber shops.
