ALLEN DALE, of cafeteria fame, naturally / knows everything from soup to nuts, including all the ins and outs of the street car business. Dale is a very smart “busi- ness man.” And now Dale has a wonderful “business” scheme. First, he wants Seattle to agree to be fleeced by the Seattle, Renton & Southern for an extortionate price for a tin-can rail- way. MONDAY, NOV. 30, 1914. ONE CENT A lines, which have been in existence only a few months, are not money-makegrs. How many private businesses pay right at the start? Other cities have made municipal railways pay. And they struggled at the start, too, just as Seattle is struggling. If Allen Dale, and Hi Gill, and a few others of their kind, would put up a solid front, the Renton receivers would soon see they were running against a stone wall, in trying to jam their robbery price down Seattle’s throat. If you really are a municipal ownership man, Mr. Dale, you can best show it by “going down the line” for your principles along with stout-hearted public servants like Erickson, whom you affect to despise. Nobody cares much for a quitter. Second, if Seattle refuses to be bunked that way, Dale wants the city to sell its municipal railways, namely, the Lake Burien and Division A lines, to the Seattle Electric Co. Isn't that brilliant? Just because we refuse to get bunked by one private company, we ought to sell out to another private company. Dale wants to throw up the sponge because the Lake Burien and Division mie em MARRY Ih fh)" fof) IUBBY IN LOTTERY: BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Nov. 30.—Marriages at the Fly- ing Roller colony here are, according to a bill of complaint filed in the circuit court by Augusta E.

Omaha, Neb., has been chosen by the judges as the most beautiful telephone girl in America. She is 19, has light hair, and blue-gray eyes. r Miss Hough was picked from among several hundred contestants submitted in the na- tion-wide contest conducted by The Star and associated newspapers. This search was in- augurated when Essa: recently made the anouncement that the role of “Dorothy” in “The Woman's Way,” that of a beautiful telephone girl, should rightly be played by the most beautiful operator in America. The search closed Saturday, November 21. Miss Hough went to Chicago Saturday, November 28, as the guest of the Essanay Film Manufacturing company and posed before the motion pictur: camera in the Essanay studios. For her day's services Miss Hough receives $100 cash and tie expenses of herself and mother to Chicago and back and during her visit. JUDGES UNANIMOUS IN PICKING MISS HOUGH Scores of the prettiest entrants arrived late in the “Dorothy” contest. This created tense expectation in the judges’ room, as batch after batch of pletures arrived, each new lot being opened hastily, in the hope of finding a prettier girl.

By Cynthia Grey EAR MISS GREY: No matter how innocent may be her own mo- D tive, no girl should go to either luncheon or dinner with her em- ployer. The man may try to make her think that his interest in her Is merely with a view to developing her in his business, or that he would like to talk over the matters of the office which he will lack time to do in business hours, but in the long run he will find, and she will goon feel, the lure of himself, conscious of her femininity, his rength and masculine alertness, and then is when the harm begins. My advice would be, don’t go any piace with the man you work for. Separate your work and your amusement as widely as possible, and you will find more enjoyment in each.
