Revival of Gibson

OF course, you must try a pom

attempting to adapt one version
OF 1t for herself. Autumn is a lovely
time to make oneself over! Autumn
introduces two long seasons-sea-

begin in autumn and winter and
culmlnate in marriage come spring
and summer! So you do want to
be as beautiful, as chic, as charm

wearing your hair differently than
you did last season.
And don't let me hear YOU sav.

One version OF this new hair
comb is for you. A little expert
menting before your own mirror
will convince you of that.
How lovely TO raise your hair
of your ears and roll it attractive

you will not have TO be bothered
with all those little frizzy ringlets
any more! For the pompadour
requires deep, sturdy waves to be
chic.

impishly sophisticated and the
older woman infinitely smarter than
the old bobs did.
Allow at least two weeks time

But the fact that men and women
nave equal rights does not remove
the fundamental and Interchangeable
difference between the sexes. And
its on that difference that man s
courtesy to woman is founded.
In situations where men and Wom-
en- are on an equal footing-Such as
when they are co-workers in an
Office or opponents in golf or ten
MS match-no woman demands or
expects any courtesy beyond that
which man would naturally ex-
tend to a fellow worker or an op-
ponent of his own sex.
But when contacts between Young
men and women are on a social or
potentially romantic basis an en-
tirely different situation exists.
Here chivalry has it place-and
always will have.
And after all, Robert, why should
a fellow object to being chivalrous?
Chivalry implies male superiority.
1t is the conSiderate, protective at
tltude Of the knightly male toward
all those who are weaker or less
fortunate than he. And when a
girl demands courtesy from a boy
in her social contacts she is actu-
ally abandoning the claim that she
is his equal-in this particular field
at least.

Fighting Intensified
On Western Front
As Nazis Attack
French Claim Largest
German Assaults of
War Turned Back
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, March 18.-German at
tacks with the largest number Of
men put into action since the war
started were reported by military
quarters today to have been turned
back by French machine gun and
artillery fire.
German patrols operating yester-
day in separated sectors west of the
Vosges Mountains and east of the
Moselle River sustained what mill
tary sources described as "cruel
losses" in extended operations.
At least three separate engage
ments occurred during the day. The
first came at dawn yesterday when
French artillery observers, moving
forward to posts which are not
manned during the night, found
Germans installed in them.
Germans Finally Left.
The French attacked with auto
matte light arms and were met by
German counterfire. The Germans
finally withdrew, it was said.
In the second engagement the
Germans sent about 300 men to
meet French patrol operating in
the Vosges.
The French unit replied to enemy
fire and repulsed waves of Germans
seeking to capture advance posi-
tions, according to these advices.
Heavy bursts of machine cunning
were succeeded by fire from the
artillery, which blasted German
troops and forced them to retreat
in disorder.
Shell explosions ripped through
the Germans, causing large num-
ber of dead and wounded. Military
sources said Nazi losses were heavy.
Concerning themselves the French
reported two disappeared"
Military advices said that all posi-
tions temporarily occupied by the
Germans were retaken.

After Wemon's Plunge
From Office Buiidina
Picture on Page A-6.)

A 49-year -old clerk in the Veter-
ans Administration leaped to her
death from the 10th floor Of the
Transportation Building, Seven
teenth and H streets NV, shortly
before 10 O'Clock this morning.
The woman, identified by police
as Mrs. Myrtle l.. Haiman, 1925
Sixteenth street NV, left a brief
note. Addressed to no one in par
ticular, it read: Please forgive me.
Notify DR.. Levy, Room 529, First
National Bank Building, Jackson,
Tenn" DR.. w. r. Levy of this ad-
dress is Mrs. Haiman's brother, DO
lice said.
A crowd jammed the sidewalk i'm
mediately after the woman fell, but
police dispersed it before a threat
ened tie-up of automobile traffic
developed.
At Mrs. Haiman's residence-a
rooming house-Mrs. w. r. Mullen
nix, the manager, said Mrs. Hal
man had returned only two weeks
ago from a short stay at a Ia
koma Park (Md0 sanitarium. Mrs.
Mullennix, declared that Mrs. Hal
man, "a very nervous type of wom-
an" had had breakfast as usual
this morning and had departed,
apparently for work. Her Office, the
Dependents Claims Service, stated
that she did not report for work,
however.
Their records showed that she had
been employed in Washington since
last June, coming here from Tusca-
loosa, Ala, where she had been con-
nected with the staff of a veterans
facility since March, 1886. Police
found letters in her room from a
sister, Mrs. Joseph Solinger of Tus-
caloosa.
Policeman w. S. Rinker declared
after investigation that Mrs. Haiman
fell from a northwest corner win
dow of the building. A window was
found wide open, he said, in q
large conference room there, in gen.
eral offices Of the Bureau OF. Rail-
way Economics. He pointed out that
person could have entered this
room without attracting attention Of
building employees.
The woman's fall was witnessed by
at least two persons. A. H. White of
927 Fifteenth street NV said that
he saw her plunging past the seventh
floor. Mr.. White observed that the
only wide-open window in the
Transportation Building was on the
10th floor. He said that he heard
no cutcry. Another witness was
Claude L. Ethridge of 329 H street
NE, who saw the woman at about
the fifeh floor.
