NEW YORK-Chorus girl Lois Andrews said that she would marry Comedian George Jessel sometime this week.
 Miss Andrews is 16 years old. Jessel is 42. The chorus girls mother, Mrs. Genevieve Gourdy of Los Angeles, declared that she had no objections to early mar liages. She was married her self at Is. But she admitted she would like to have a talk with JeSsel.
 The comedian was asked if it were true that she and Miss An dreWs would be married his week. Jessel said that he first probably would have to straigten out some matters involving his Mexican divorce from Norma TaI madge.

 WANT A "BOSSY" MAN?
 Study of thousands of marriag es by the Los Angeles Institute of Family Relations reveals that marriages in which the husband is boss are 3o percent happier than those in which the wife is boss.
 Even at that, it is evident that there are many happy marriages in which the wife is boss-one husband out of every eight in the United States is in this happy but bossad by his wife group. The wife in such a case may be less happy than the husband.
 But the average girl, who ad- mires a strong, dependable men and wants such a man for a hus- band, will be ill-adVised if she proposes to him. Leap Year or no Leap Year. There are plenty of other ways of getting a man.

MEN AREN'T BATTERED

Most men do not like aggres- sive women. Most men do not want women to try to beat them at their own game. Most men do not feel fiattered at receiving a proposal from woman.
 In this situation, what has Wo- man to gain by proposing?
 The intelligent woman can, and does, let a man know her feel ings. If he is diffident about pro posing because he thinks she eX- poets more luxury than he can offer, she can easily let him know that she does not require lux ury. She can let him know lot of things.
 After that, if he still does no' want her enough to say so, i may be that he would not be { very valuable husband for her 1T any case.

 They have nothing to gain by such violation of the rules.
 Who is it that wants to violate the rules? Not the normal, attrac tive, successful woman, but the woman who is a failure. Refusing to recognize that her failure is her own fault she wants to change the rules. She picks out Leap Year as an occasion to try to disguise her own lack of un- derstanding. She would do better to learn the rules, and then start early to play the game instead of waiting, as many educated wO men do, until most of the men worth marrying are already mar ried.

NO LAW AGAINST IT

There is no law preventing a woman from proposing. She can do so any time she likes. Age old experience has taught her that it is not worthwhile.
 If she is not clever enough to maneuver man into a position where he will propose to her thereby feeling that he is keep ing the highly -prized masculine initiative in his own hands-she might not be clever enough to

SNOW And WIND
STRIKE The SHORE
ON WEDNESDAY
Country Threatened With Repe-
titiOn Of Storm Of Only A
Few Weeks Ago

The Eastern Shore was struck on
Wednesday by another terrific wind
and snow storm, which according to
announcements, extended from Maine
to the Carolinas.
With such force did the blizzard
come from the northwest, that all in
dications pointed to a repetition of
the storm of recent date. But, by
morning, the wind had subsidized to a
degree, and snow ceased to fall.
Reports from Crisfield told of flood
ed streets and dangerous passages of
water craft from Smith and Tangier,
as the wind rose to gale height. Lo-
cally, no damage has been reported.
Prior to the main blow, one of the
big plate glass windows in Penney's
store collapsed from the pressure of
wind. A previous crack, however,
aided the crash.
The electric light service was inter-
fered with to a slight degree, but no
prolonged trouble. Thursday dawned
