DEAR ABBY
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,
Her Dad Puts Hitch in Hitch

DEAR ABBY: I am a
sailor in the United States
Navy. Recently I made plans
to marry a 16-year-old girl
from my home town. In
order to get enough money
to get married on I re-en-
listed in the Navy for six
years. I got a $400 bonus.
When I went home to get
married, my girls father ran
me out of the house and re-
fused to let his daughter
marry me. She's not old
enough to marry without his
consent. Now I'm in the Navy
for six more years and can't
get out. What should I do?

DEAR ABBY: My husband
died suddenly last November.
At a Christmas party I re-
newed acquaintance with a
man I had known for many
years. On New Years eve he
asked me to marry him. My
teen-aged daughter became
very upset when I told her,
and said that out of respect
to her father I should wait
at least one year. When ]
told this man I wanted to
wait. he cooled off and
started seeing another woman
in town. The talk around
town is that he may marry
her. I think I passed up a
good thing and would like

His fiancee paused in her
labors and downed a half

said simply. you're beauti-
full. You're the one that's
beautiful"
Mr.. Sullivan is hardly

him? Should I find an excuse
to call him?
MISSED MY CHANCE.
Unless you can get word to
him via a friend in a very
subtle way, I am afraid you
are out of luck. Don't call
him. P.S. Your daughter may
have done you a favor. The

Charles, 'but thought l could jump

So he plunged out the door Of the car,
heaued his bag wildly on board the ferry, and
started on a mad dash doom dte ramp.
"No! No! MOI" came horri6ed shouts
from onlookers. ''Stop, for heavens sake,
stop"
But Charles needed only the call of
duty. He twisted away from guard, made
Herculean leap and barely landed on the
deck of the ferry.
He lay painting. but triumphant. As truly
as Paul Revere, he had accomplished great

mar the glory of his deed. Only one very
small detail:

Convictions

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10 (AP).-
The Court of Appeals affirmed
yesterday the convictions of IL
Negroes arrested for trespassing
in a sit-in demonstration at
Hooper's Restaurant in Balti-
more in June, 1860.
The appellants, through their
attorneys, contended that the
State may not use its judicial
process to enforce the policies
of racial discrimination of a
private owner of an establish
ment open to the general public
They also contended that the
Maryland Criminal TreSpass
Statute, although constitutional
on its face, was unconstitu-
tionally applied in their arrest.
1--WE find it unnecessary to
dwell on these contentious at
length, because these same ar
guments were fully considered
and rejected by this court in
two recent cases ;" the
Court of Appeals said.
The court opinion added:
"On principle, we think the
right to speak freely and to
make public protest does not
import a right to invade or
remain upon the property of
private citizens, so long as
private citizens retain the right
to choose their guests or
customers"
The unanimous opinion was
written by Judge William L.
Henderson.

Up to 5000

A plan for raising teacher
salary minimums in Prince
Georges County from $400 to
5000 above the present scales
has been submitted to the
county school board for con-

The plan, presented yester-

mittee of the county teachers
association, would cost almost
$1.3 million to implement in
the 1923 budget and would
apply only to teachers with de-
grees and proper State certifi-
cation.
For those with bachelor de-
grees, the minimums would
Jump from $4,000 to $4,000 in
the first year and from $1,000
to $S,400 in the 18th year, final
step in the teacher salary
scale.
Certified teachers with a
masters degree would be raised
from $4,000 to $500 on the
starting level and from $1,000
to $8,700 at the 18th step. For
those with a masters degree
plus 80 approved hours study.
the present $5,100-$8,100 scale
would jump to $5,500-$9 900
over the 15-year period. The
minimum range for teachers
with Ph.D. degrees would be
$500 to $1,000 over the Is
steps, compared to IS, ,40O-$8,4 400
now.
Mrs. Kathryn G. Reidy, prin-

teachers in the system. But she
