next Sunday they won't belong to

She has decided it is more i'm

PARIS, Dec. 2.-Complaints Of
American soldiers about the dollar
franc exchange rate have reached
the ears of the II touring members

mittee.
The CTS $50 month doesn't 20
far here because of the exchange
rate" said Representative Thomas,
Republican, of New Jersey. Ger
tainly both governments should get
together soon on the situation be-
cause it's operating against our
boys"
The Americans are paying about
five times as much as normal be-
cause of the exchange rate, it was
estimated. The difficulty was caused
by the Germans, who printed huge
quantities of francs.

facilities at Cherbourg and other
ports.
Representative Brooks, Democrat.
Of Louisiana said he believes Con-
gress must start immediate consid-
Grafton at its next session of COM

to raise a peacetime army of a
million men to help police Europe
This, he added, would permit men
now overseas to return home.
representative Glare Boothe Luce
Republican, of Connecticut last
night said talk of her being gagged
by the Army on the congressional
tour of the western front was all
a mistake.
THE Army has not prohibited
me from talking" she said. my
fellow committee members have not
tried to keep me from talking nor
has there been any attempt to
gag me.
Eve agreed in London that Rep
resentative Matthew Merritt would
be our spokesman. That is why
there was no reason for me to be at
our press conference there"
Mrs. Luce expressed the opinion
that the cigarette situation is the
most pressing of CT problems.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: am %, lieuten-
ant IN the Army. At college I made
Who's Who among students in
American universities and colleges.
l won several medals for debating
domestic and public problems, but
when I take girl out don't know
what to say to her. l try to make
myself interesting by talking about
something that have done or heard
or read and she practically yawns in
my face.
Another of my drawbacks is that
am poor dancer. And still an
other is that I am blond and do
not look my age. look much
younger. Can you tell me how I can
correct this boyish appearance and
make hit with the girls? C.I.J.
AnSWer-You needn't seek a rem
edy for aging. Nature and the war
will see to that. You will not go
home looking like Mama's little boy.
You will show the stress and strain
that you have been through and in
your eyes will be the look of those
who have seen death and suffering
and tried to fathom the meaning Of
them.
If you have failed to interest girls
by your conversation, it is probably
because you have picked them too
young. You were above your audi
ence. If you had been talking to a
woman, she would no doubt have
hung upon your words and found
you a fascinating companion.
A teen-age girl is interested in
nothing on Gods earth but herself
and her own crowd and the things
they do. If you had kept telling her
over and over again how beautiful
she was, and asking her why she
didn't go to Hollywood and be a
starlet: If you had talked about the
last dance, or where you got the best
hamburgers. you would have gotten
along with her swimmingly.
Later on she will probably be in
terested in discussing worthwhile
subjects. but when she is In the
adolescent stage you have to keep
the spotlight on her If you want to
make a hit with her.
