"Good Girls most certainly
can have as much fun as girls
who smoke, drink, pet, neck.
etc. Girls who indulge in such
vices do so because they want
10 and then blame the boys.
The vulgar excuse is that they
must impress the boys with their
sophlstication i'm order 10 ap-
pear attractive and interesting.
Actually they are neither at
tractive nor interesting. It's
the girl who can be interesting
WITHOUT reSOrting to vice who
Is attractive. That takes per-
sonality an active mind, a
ready wit. an appreciation OF
worthwhile things and SELF
RESPECT. A girl must believe
that deep down men have re-
Spect for a girl who respects her
self. Should she meet any who
fail 10 have that respect. she
can thank her lucky stars that
their refusal TO date her elimi-
mates them from her list.

SHOULD A GIRL MARRY

Definitely YES" says Charles
Parker of Chicago, Ill.
1T isn't necessary to be in
love. As matter OF fact, the
happiest marriages are not based
on love, or the cheap passion
commonly called love, but on
intellectual equality and COM
patibility.
Psychology tells us that
proximity is responsible for more
marriages than love. Other
wise how can one account for
the fact that one marrieS within
a very small circle of acquaint-
anceS. as compared with the
millions of people in the world?
"Doubly important is il to-

Commissioners Raise Pay.
OF 500 D. T.. Laborers

The District Commissioners yes
terday reclassified about 500 work
men of the municipal government
from apprentice laborers" at a
wage of $3.50 per day TO that of
'laborer" with wage of s4.32 day.
They took this action in approv-
ing a report by the District Wage
Board, headed by Capt. H. c..
whitehurst, director of highways.
Testifying for the wage revision be-
fore the board were Henry Rhine
of the United Federal Workers OF
America, and Col. Charles I. Stem
gle, of the American Federation of
Government Employees.
The Commissioners also decided
10 eliminate the custom of paying
per diem employees for days when
they could not work because of bad
weather. 1t had been the practice
TO pay men one-quarter of a days
wages when they had reported for
work but were prevented because Of
weather.
A plea by District truck drivers
for overtime wages to compensate
for driving to and from jobs was
rejected by the Commissioners.

this Hemisphere. said Mr.. Ryan
in a nationwide NJ. B. S. broadcast.
so long as AXIS planes, camou-
faged as commercial airliners and
capable of being converted into
long range bombing planes. are
flying daily over the alrWays OF
South America. often within bomb
ing range of the Panama Canal,
neither our safety nor that OF the
other American Republics can be
regarded as secure.
There can be no rightful place
In the aviation of the Americas

where one appears, the security OF

its elimination.

"We can obtain true apprecla-
tion of the Importance Of our inter-
national air services to the security
of this hemisphere when We re-
member that the main thrust of
the AXIS penetration in South
America has been the establishment
of a network of AXis-owned or man.
aged airlines which cover some o.
900 miles of scheduled routes over
the southern continent. "--
in competing with these Axis
airlines. our American air carriers
in South America are not competing
with an enterprise that is organized
for financial profits; for the Axis
airline network in South America is
not primarily an agency of COM
merce. 1t is an instrumentahty Of
national policy bent upon the politi-
cal domination of our southern
continent. And those airlines boldly
serve the Axis purposes.
Would Form Air Bases
zone of those purposes has been
10 familiarize German and Italian
pilots with the geography of our
southern continent. Another has
been to establish strategically To-
Gated air bases, some of which are
located within bombing range of the
Panama Canal. Still another pur-
pose has been the use of some of
these airllneS for military obserVa-
ton in aiding Axis merchant ships
in their effort to run the British
blockade in the South Atlantic"
To prevent spread of Axis aviation
interests in the Western Hemis-
phere, Mr.. Ryan stressed need for
cordial cooperation of the other 20
republics. Where southern republics
establish their own airlines, he sug-
gested a plan whereby this country
would lend assistance in the matter
of finance, necessary equipment and
the training of fight personnel.
