BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH. “A WOMAN'S LETTER, NO MATTER HOW LONG, ALWAYS CONTAINS A POST SCRIPT,” SAID DAD H—“My dear Mrs. Blank” is consid- ered more formal in America than “Dear Mrs. Blank.” In England, just the reverse is true. In that country “My dear Mrs. Blank” is used in inti- mate notes, and “Dear Mrs. Blank” is the small OUT OF WORK The English hangman has resigned and thrown his deadly noose away; he could endure the beastly grind if he could only make it pay. But victims are 50 far between an honest hangman cannot buy the petrol for his limousine, or purchase filling for a pie. In Eng- land murder’s out of date, it is a graft that doesn't pay, and seldom does a vicious skate decide to draw a gun and slay. He knows that in the British courts ill fares the gent who wields a gat; the history of dead game sports who tried it out has shown him tha The murderer stands in the dock, hi melancholy weird to dree, and he re- ceives a nasty shock when sentenced to the gallows tree. He knows a sen- tence over there means what it says and nothing ‘less; and so he rends his raven hair and sheds some tears in his distress. His lawyers make a prompt appeal to save him from a shameful death, but while they pull the stunt they feel it is & waste of time and breath. The higher court is stern and cold, the judges sit in grim array, and say the slayer, brash and bold, must hang on the appointed day. So there is much respect for law in Britain's merry little isle; the killer knows the deeds of guile. The hangmen for a thousand years have swung their vic- tims to the breeze, and now at last the time appears when they can't earn their bread and cheese. The execu- tioner resigns, there are no slayers to be slain: he thinks he is in grievous lines, the situation gives him pain. Perhaps some moral we might draw, while crime waves sweep our native land; why have we less respect for law than any decent laws demand? ‘Why doesn't justice function here, why do our statutes gasp and die? same conundrum, sprung last year, has failed to bring a sane reply.

CRAIG. ~—Union scouting parties are constantly being sent out in the direction of Fairfax Court House, which is held by the Confederates. A scout- ing party reported today that it got as far as the village of Falls Church, where it was warmly welcomed by the Union sympathizers. The residents there who favor the Union are eager to have the Federal Government send troops to occupy the village permanent- Iy, or until the present difficulties are over. At Spring Hill, 8 miles from Alexan- ia, & locomotive with two cars was recently forced to turn back to Alexan- dria, because the Confederate scouts had burned two bridges. These bridges have been repaired, however, in the last two or three days, and the New York 69th Regiment has passed over them in going by train to Alexandria. The Union scouting parties are con- stantly bringing in prisoners who are charged with attempts to destroy parts of the railroad or the railroad bridges leading southward. Lately, however, no Confederates have been _discovered within several miles of the Union camp on the Virginia side of the Potomac River close to Washington. A Union man, who escaped from the Confederates after having been de- tained at Fairfax Court House, reported here today that there are about 700 Confederate troops in that town, in- cluding Infantry and Cavalry. The principal point for the concentration of the Confederate forces seems to be south or southwest of Fairfax Court House. On the Virginia side of the Potomac River near Washington the Union Army is throwing up long lines of en- trenchments to protect the city from a possible assault by the Confederates. In many places these entrenchments are fitted with frowning cannon. On various nearby heights, fortifications of a more durable nature are being bult. The New York Fire Zouaves have just mounted several cannon on their breast- works jmmediately west of Alexandria City. Heavy Union guns are being mounted all along the line of breast- works between Alexandria and Arlington Heights, ‘There will soon be a solid semi-circle of forts, connected with earthworks, protecting the approach to Washington on the Virginia side of the river.

C, SATURDAY DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX [ JEAR MISS DIX—I am only a student of this cockeyed old world and, ! maybe you can tell me a few things every man should know. The first thing I want to ask is: How can a man treat a woman the way she wants to be treated when no woman gives him the proper cue to her feelings? Now get me right, dear lady, I am trying to understand a woman's feelings and treat her like a human being. AN OLD-FASHIONED MAN OF THE WORLD. Answer—The myth that woman is an inscrutible mystery that no man can solve is merely a superstition and has no foundation in fact. In reality, it is an alibi that men have framed up to excuse their blunders in dealing with women and to camouflage their laziness in never taking the trouble to study the fair sex and find out why the cat jumps the way it does. As to women offering men no cue to the riddle that they are. that's a joke that it is impossible to take seriously. Why, every woman you have ever met has worn the answer to the human conundrum that she ir printed on her fore- he:d 50 "llt“ he who ran might read, and you must be indeed blind if you have not, seen it. ‘The favorite topic of the great majority of women is their feelings. They talk about them incessantly. Nothing has such an allure for them as vivisecting their emotions, and so I do not see how it is possible for any man to take part in one of these major soul operations without knowing exactly what 1s in a rvom':g'a heart and mind, and without knowing exactly how she wants to be reated. ing out hints to men. Begin with the flapper. When she tells you what a peachy car you have, and how she adores nice long rides, surely you are not so dull as not to know that she is informing you in no uncertain terms that she | wants you to take her for a.long drive. Same way when she talks about night clubs and restaurants, the cue is: Food and dancing. Likewise, when she dis- courses about her birthday and what a lovely bracelet there is in a certain down- town jewelry store, even a Dumb John must realize that he is being held up and that if he wants any more of the artless maid's smiles he must come across. 5 i A little later on you will encounter the business woman who will talk to you about marriage being a partnership and how much a clever woman can help a man to succeed. And you will meet the maternal type who will feed you good, home-cooked dinners, and worry about your getting your feet wet, and call up to know if you got home safely and didn’t get run over by an automo- bile in crossing the street. And clinging-vine widows will weep on your shoulder and ask your advice about their investments, and tell you how wonderful and wise yoy are, and how hard it is for a poor lone woman to get along without any man to lean upon. Surely no man-who isn't a congenital idiot doesn't know that these women want to be made love to. They want the thrill of a belated romance and to flaunt a date in other women's faces. Davy Crocket's advice to men was: “Be sure you are right, then go ahead.” So far as women are concerned, it may be said: Go ahead with your love making. You are sure to be right ninety-nine times out of a hundred, Leaving sentiment aside, however, women like to be treated as human be- ings of normal intelligence and not as perpetual babies, or high-grade imbeciles, but even then they give you a cue to guide your conversational footsteps. When a fat, middle-aged woman simpersapnd smirks and calls herself a little girl and tells how somebody mistook her for her own daughter, you can hand her flattery by the shovelful and she will gulp it down and ask for more, and you can sell her an automobile, or bonds, or suburban real estate, or what have you, if she has any money. But if she looks her age and acts it, she wants intelligent talk about politics, or books, or world news, and nothing will offend her more than for you to assume that she is an old fool who can. be jollied into anything by the atten- tions of a young man. So study your lady first if you want to find out how to treat her. She will give you plenty of tips. DOROTHY DIX.

Fashions in home building and deco- ration change almost as frequently as fashions in clothes. That is the only | explanation for the present popularity | of the knotted or knotty pine walls, | They are as popular as pewter and hand-dipped candles and early Ameri- can furniture, and belong in that period. ‘There is something warm and inti- mate about a pine panelled wall. And strange to say, there is something “smart” about it too. Of course. pine - IR [rp! paneling has its place. It does not be- long in a drawing room done in the “grand” manner. Then too pine panelling has to be chosen with care. Stock with sound knots must be purchased. A good lum- ber house takes care of this. Once the room is paneled the pine is treated in this fashion: “Apply one coat of glue size. Allow to dry. Follow with a very thin coat of white lead used to close the grain. Al- | low to dry thoroughly. Apply a coat of light brown stain (color to suit) putting this 6n with a rag. This méllows the wood and matches any uneveness in | color. Wipe off with a second rag_be fore stain dries on. Allow to dry. Fol low with wax coating, rubbed to’desired | finish.” When Nancy wrote to the pine lum- ber company she found that the knots needed no treatment apart from that given the panel as a whole. The com pany said that its care in choosing panels with sound knots made other treatments superfluous. Nancy loved to visit in a home where the walls of pine were enhanced by built-in cabinets and corner cupboards, such as these. { to eat ‘some old-fashioned pound | enclosing A stamped. self-addressed envelope and ask for her leafllet on Cake Recipes. l (Copyxight, 1930.)

Digging is always hard work and the Moles are the greatest diggers of whom I know.

After Starnose had disappeared, Peter sat close to the edge of the bank r;l‘ s | the Smiling Pool and back to it. was very warm. Peter began to grow sleepy. It was very nice over there by the Smiling Pool; it was very pleasant. Over in the alders, Redwing the Black- bird was singing. Peter always did like to hear Redwing sing. In the Smiling Pool itself some of the Frog folk were singing now and then. Over on the far side of the Smiling Pool Grandfather Frog was saying, “Chug-a-rum! Chug- a- rum! Chug-a-rum!” in a great deep voice. Peter’s eyes kept shutting. Then he would open them with a start, only to close them again. In a little while Peter was actually asleep. Of course, it was a very light sleep, for Peter is far Jerry Muskrat came swimming along with nothing in particular to do. He looked up and saw Peter sitting on the bank Jerry stopped swimming and floated for a few minutes, looking very hard at Peter. Then Jerry grinned. Once more he began to swim. He swam until he was right back of and below Peter. He looked up at Peter’s back. Then he grinned once more. What do you think he did then? He dived, and as he did so he brought his tail down hard on | the water. When that tail slapped the water it made & sudden sharp noise. Peter's eyes flew open. At the same time he came to life in other ways He bounded away, lipperty-lipperty-lip perty-lip, and was well out in the Green Meadows before he really knew what he was doing.

It must have been some one else.” Jerry's eyes were twinkling as he said this, Peter turned his head to look back. Jerry's tail struck the water again—slap!—and Jerry disappeared beneath the surface. Peter jumped and all but jumped right into the Smiling Pool. (Copyright, 1930.) Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Motoring Costs.

Notwithstanding the contribution of | the motor car to modern civilization | man can scarcely afford to have such | luxuries even now, and there are signs | that he is beginning to realize it. But | the women are more reluctant to give | up their self-punishment.

Probably most of the evils built fnito | shoes purport to make the feet look | smaller than they are. A century or | more ago some of our forebears had dis- | covered how to live without working and with that discovery came the reali- zation that one could ride o be carried, | rather than walk, almost anywhere. | Out of this evolution or decadence, as you please, grew the aristocratic nf—} fectation of small feet.

Gradually, they | say, a new type of foot was evolved, as | a consequence of the disuse of the feet by our aristocratic ancesters. (I say | ours in the humorous semse.) This| new type of foot was shorter and nar- | rower than the primitive foot, the au- | thors say: Il add it was uglier, too. The authors remind us it is a well known scientific faot that an organ or muscle tends to atrophy and lose its| power of functioning when allowed to | remain inactive after long, habitual | activity. The shoemaker soon took his ' cue and devised the freak pointed shoes with narrow, high heels to make the any creature feel she had never done & n adult or child in any pleasing two- |tone combination.

There are two rows of the seven-one count, then two of fivesthree, two of three-five and two of one-seven. The little sketch shows how to proceed. The neck and armholes are finished with a band of the light worsted and this is most conveniently done by means of crochet. (Copyright, 1930.)
