3 STARTOPUBLISH | -RADI DIRECTORY List of All Stations, With Dis- tance and Other Data, 3 Ready Tomorrow. A complete. up-to-date directory of American, Cuban and Canadian radlo broadeastihg stations, featuring their distance from Washington in statute miles, will be publiched tomorrow in The Sunday Star. It will be one of the most comprehensive radio station directories cver published, 2 In addition to the call letters and airline distance of the stations from Washington, the directory will give the names of the Owners or operators of the stations, the power in watts and the wave bands on which they transmit. No such directory of broad- casting _stations ever before was compiled. The publication of such an unusual station directory has been made pos- sible through the courtesy and co- operation of E. Lester Jones, director of the coast and geodetic survey, and D. B. Carson. commissioner of navi- tion of the Department of Com- at the coast and geodetic wcured the airline distance ington of all the broad- ations. bering more The distances were scaled ely from the best maps avail- . " The probable ¢rror of the est line does not exceed four or ive miles. One of the features of the directory is that it contains all.of the new stations which have been licensed by the Department of Commerce in the last month. It is up-to-date in every respect and will be invaluable to radio fans. The radio fan who uses thé direc- tory will not only be able to locate stations whose call letters are un- ramiliar, but will be able to keep an accurate record of his "DX” re- ception. The directory at a glance will tell whether K at Hastings, Neb.. is farther from hington, as 1 crow flies, than PWX, at Havana, uba. - Often when a fan proudly sta of pick up the Cuban sti- on he is that KFKX is farther from shington. The stu- tion directory is Xperts survey m ivery he directory 1 want to keep with supple- mentary dir nich will be publishied in r from time to time as new brosdeasting stations are established.

Shculd I mention other men to him and ask lim about the girls with whom he used to go? Do men like women to show how much they care for them? J.0. P. Answer: Well, to begin with, nothing disgusts a man with a woman more quickly than for her to have a quarrelsome disposition. No man looks forward to spending his life with a wife who has a chip on her shoulder and who is always spoiling for a fight. High temper also disgusts a man. A woman with her face distorted with’ fury and her tongue saying venomous words is as repulsive a sight to him as is a drunken woman. Slovenliness in a woman is disgusting to a man. Men don't even like dangling ribbons and loose clothes on a woman. They like her to be shipshape, and neat, and tidy, and trim, and taut, and they are repulsed by blousy hair, and runover heels, and soiled finery. Men don't like morbid women, who are always vivisecting themselves and their emotions, and they flee from a tcary woman who is forever telling her grievances as they would from the plague. Men don’t like vain women who expect to be flattered. They loathe sarcastic women who make cutting speeches, and they abominate women who talk too much and who monologue along by the hour about their own achievements and what grand families they came from. And it certainly disgusts a man for a woman to run after him openly, S0 _that everybody perceives it and speculates about whether she will be able to catch him or not. But, on the other hand, it pleases him for her to stealthily stalk him down, thereby letting him know that she considers him iz game that it fs worth her while to capture. Men like amiable women, who are casily pleased. who enjoy everything and who make a man feel pleased with himself because he is giving them @ good time. . - Men like women wlio know how to work them artistically, who know just what to say to flatter them and just how to stroke their fur the right way so that they purr under their hands. Men like women who @ress well and whom they are proud to be scen out with, women who know how to dance and play cards, who are good at outdoor sports, and who don't ruin every game they sit in. The women men like best are the jolly, sweet, nice women, who are not too brainy, not too competent in any line, Who are easy to get along with, and who do not make too many demands on either their time or their purses. A girl queers herself with a man when she tells him about the other men who were in love with her, because he knows that she will tell other men about him. And no man. unless he is a cad, ever tells one girl about another. The unforgivable crime is to kiss and tell DOROTHY DIX. o s e EAR DOROTHY DIX: T am engaged to be married to a young man who is everything in the world he should be, except that he is slovenly in his personal appearance.

Arthur Swanberg, physician and in ventor, information of whose disap pearance was broadcast by police ¥ terday, said before he dropped fro: sight that he had perfected a for- mula for which he had been offerer $1,000,000. A story he had told Mre Ida Waller, manager of the hotel where he lived, of being attacked last month by two men who sought to get the formula from him, is being inves- tigated.

But such is the casc. No man could stay in love with a woman whom he &a nkempt hair and sloppy shoes and a dirty wrapper. No man would feel impelled to kiss « woman with cold créam on her face. Yet there are untold numbers of men who consider that home i a place to take off their coats and their collars and their shoes and to sit around in a state of slovenly undress that would disiliusion any woman who wasn't stone blind. It is a pity that men don't understand more about the psychology of clothes, and realize that if they want to keep fastidious women in love with them they must dress in a way to enhance their charms. Not only that, but their appearance has a powerful cffect on their success in business. For a'man's clothas are the first things that hit our eve, and we judge his abill his prosperity and bis judgment by the way he is dressed. n w habitual!

But you can circumvent him as did one wife I knew. Every night she took away all of the clothes her husband had worn that day. and locked them up in a cloget. Then she put out a complete outfit for him. fresh linen, clothes pressed to a razor edge, newly polishea shoes. It was no more trouble for husband to put these on than the others, and so she sent him forth immaculately dressed in spite of himself.

Applications for loans receive imme- diate and courteous attention. Answe! Not necessarily. The old adage. “Like father, like son,” is apt to be true because a man generally has his ideals of women formed by his father. and o he is liable to treat his wife as he has seen his father treat his mother. Often, however. the exact reverse of this is true, and the boy is b revolted at the cruelty that has been shown his mother that it_makes him the tendcrest and most considerate of husbands.
