srecisl Dispatch to The Star.


Ell PASO. Texas, Feb. 15.-Bache-
lors of the 260th Coast Artillery,
anti-aircraft regiment of Washing
ton, D. c., now training at Fort
Bliss, have formed a Lonely Hearts
Club.
The club. organized Immediately
after the arrival of the lst Bat
talon last week. is operating under
the guidance of 1t. James w. Hill,
ment. 1t. Hill. in civilian life an F.
B. I. agent, lost little time setting
up his bureau. There are no dues.
no membership cards and no elec-
ton of officers. 1t. Hill reserves the
right to schedule all events of a
social nature involving Ell Paso's
eligible young ladies who have an
eye for Sam Brown belts and shoul-
der bars. Of course, Lonely Heart
may drop from the rolls should he
find a hearts desire" to his par
ticular liking.
1t is emphasized by the conn
manding officer" that members of
his organization must be bachelors,
while the hearts desires likewise
must be fair maidens-the former,
a prerequisite designed to relieve all
worries of officers wives back in
the District.
When he was organizing his as
sociation for its whirling social
premiere, 1t. Hill enlisted the aid Of
Maj Harvey R. Christman, U. S. A,
retired. The major co-operated to
the extent of inviting 1t. Hill and
several of his registered club men,
bers to dinner.
Now the major has an attractive
daughter, Miss Jean Christman, who
readily agreed to aid the Lonely
Hearts Club of the 260th. Miss
Christman has been charged with
providing the hearts desires-and
she's done good job of 1t.
AS the 260th has officers who, in
civilian life, are attorneys, photog-
raphers, real estate operators, teach
ers, newspapermen, students, insur-
ance statesmen, Government clerks,
professional and amateur athletes,
musicians and many other qualified
experts, the hearts desires have
found a wide variety of conversa-
ton and an equal assortment of in
terest. AS for the Lonely Hearts,

alloyed satisfaction. But he stressed
the two points of argument with
respect to the pending lease lend
bill that administration leaders
most assiduously have been en-
deavoring to soft-pedal
First, by declaring that five to
ten destroyers month" should be
turned over to Great Britain he en-
phasized the unlimited power vested
in the President by the bill, to lease
or give away any or all present
American naval equipment.
Second. by proposing that aid be
limited to Great Britain, China and
Greece, as the only three nations
now resisting Fascist aggression, he
gave countenance to the conten-
ton that the bill as it stands is
pre-eminently an authorization for
the President to play power politics
in every corner of the globe.
Secretary of the Navy Knox
hastened Wednesday morning to re-
affirm his previously expressed posi-
ton that not another single unit
of the American Fleet should be
turned over to Britain. There is
no doubt that in this. Col Knox
was speaking the mind of the whole
naval hierarchy. But three hours
later the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. dominated by admins
tration support, voted down, 13 to
10, an amendment offered by SEN
ator Vandenberg which would have
required the assent In writing of
the chief Of naval operations before
existing naval units could be trans
ferred.
Consultation Required.
The committee retained a House
amendment which requires the
President to consult with the uni
formed chiefs of the Navy and Army
before authorizing disposal OF ex-
listing defense equipment, but critics
of the bill say that is in fact no
limitation at all since it imposes
no responsibility on the Navy and
Army high commands and requires
no public disclosure of their views.
Chairman Walsh of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee has been
the chief stickler for naval approval
of any plan for disposal of existing
fighting craft and he is expected to
offer an amendment to this end
when the bill reaches the Senate
floor. Because Senator Walsh rarely
has been beaten on any naval pro-
posal that he has chosen to sponsor,

1t. Hill has added novelty to his
clubs activity by the manner in
which he arranges his parties. For
instance, the other night he sched-
uled moonlight horseback riding

night the club enjoyed a supper

Though rents and food costs ad-

of living index in large cities on
January IS was approximately the
same as in mid-December, Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins reported
today. The rise in rents and food
costs was offset by lower prices of
clothing and household furnishings
in the January sales.
The cost of living index, based
on reports from 20 large cities, re-
manned at 100.7. This was 81 per
cent above the August, 1899, level.
