CONSIDERS ACTION ON DEFEAT OF BILL (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 24. Members of the Lloyd George cabinet are today considering the situation which has arisen as a result of the adverse vote in the House of Commons yesterday when the government's amendment to the alien bill was rejected by a vote of 185 to 113. ' Because of the fact there was only nbout half of the members of the house in their seats when the vote was taken, it is believed the government will not resign but it is possible that Edward Shortt, Home secretary who was in charge of the alien bill may quit office. Andrew Bonar Law, government leader in the house, secured a delay until Monday for his
colleagues by moving an adjournment immediately after the result of the vote on the alien bill had been announced. Mr. Bonar Law's declaration that any subsequent action, by the ministry would "depend upon the view of the House of Commons as a whole may indicate an intention on the part of the government to ask for a vote of confidence at an early date." The Ministerial council under the presidency of Premier Lloyd George discussed the political situation this morning and later the entire cabinet assembled.

Official Estimate Places Cost for Family at $2,025 (By Asociated Press) WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. 'Official eatimatea'tfor a "health and decency" budgeC for government clerks place the minimum annual expenses of a family of five at $2,262; an unmarried women at $1,083, and a single man at $1,000. These figures were made public today by Dr. Royal Meeker, chief of ths Bureau of Labor Statistics, in connection with the Investigation of federal salaries by a congressional committee. The food item in the family budget fimounts to $773.93. The clothing bill lor the year is put at $313.72. of which the husband is allotted $121.16, the wife $166.46, 11 year old boy $96.60. The five year old girt $82.50, and the baby (two years), $47. Housing, fuel and light are placed at $428 and miscellaneous expenses at $546.82, a total
of $2,262.47. If the wife was especially competent in the art of shopping, did her own sewing and? practiced all household economies the b" 'set might be reduced, it was expvdned to a "rock bottom minimum" of $2,025.56. The Bureau in compiling those estimates makes a hat allowance for the wife of one and a half hats a year, $10 for a winter hat and $5 for a summer one, the winter hat to be worn two years. An item of $S.40 is allowed for a newspaper, held by Dr. Meeker to be a necessity. The family amusement appropriation is set at $40, which also includes magazines, though in general, such luxuries as the latter, it was pointed out, are to be enjoy-;d at the public library. '
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can you tell me how to remove apple cider stains from wool material of medium shade? A Reader. If your wool material is white, use wool soap and see if that will take out the stain. Otherwise I am afraid I am not able to tell you what to do. You had better take it to a cleaner's establishment and see what can be done. You might have it dyed another color if It cannot be cleaned satisfactorily. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls, "sweet sixteen." We go with two boys. Do you think we are old enough? (2) We neither have a mother or any one to ask questions. We go around together and go someplace almost every night, is this alright? (3) One of us has a steady fellow working out of town and only get to see him once a week. Do you think he could be true to one girl as he works in a large city and meets so many girls? (4) Is it alright to accept a sailor boy's picture the second
time you see him? If not, how should you refuse when he offers you his picture? (5) We have about a dozen boy's pictures and only 2 or 3 of these boys have our pictures. We are think
ing of having our pictures taken. Will it be all right for us to give these boys, our picture as they want then and we have theirs. (6) I am goins to leave town for two weeks and will it be alright for me to write to 3 or 4 boys if I write friendly letters only? Thank you. Sailor Girl and Bobble. (1) Girls sixten years old are old enough to have a few dates with boys of their own age. I don't think more than 2 or 3 dates a week would be right. (2) You should not go out so much at night, especially without an escort or an older person with you. Being seen on the street so much, makes one common. (3) Yes, I think the boy could be true and still live in a large city and meet girls. That will be a good test of his real love for you. (4) If the sailor wishes to give you his picture, on his own accord, yo,i may take it, however, you should not ask him for one. (5) If the boys want your picture, I believe they would ask you for them, don't you? If you have your pictures taken, give them only to your nearest girl and boy friends. It does not look well to have your pictures in many boy's rooms. (6) I would only send a post card or correspondence card to your immediate fi-iann TVm't xi'rito Inn? lptters. SO

Shipping, Board Hands Ultimatum to Dockmen (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 24 New York's striking longshoremen today faced. an
ultimatum by the United States shipping board that if they did not return to work by 5:30 o'clock this evening the board would undertake to end the long tie-up of shipping by loading and unloading its ships with men brought here especia'ly for the purpose. These workers now are quartered on a vessel moored at one of the trans-Atlantic piers. When the ultimatum was delivered to the longshoremen yesterday it was stated by an official of the shipping board that if the police protection proved inadequate "a higher authority would be appealed to." Mayor Hylan was called upon to furnish additional police today at the various piers affected.
New York! We are in New York! It is the only thing in my life 1 believe, that has exceeded my expectations instead of disappointing me. No sooner had we stepped from the train into that marvelous Grand Central station than I realized what people mean when they say "atmosphere." New York is electrical, with a sort
of friendly electricity. I know that every one does not feel this. But I feel it with a strange kinship, as if an invisible big hand had stretched out taken mine and said: "We understand each other. We're going to like each other. I've got something to give you and you have something for me. We're friends already. We're going through all sorts of experiences together, you and I. Let's begin Quick ! " That is what New York said to me. And I smiled and shivered with delight as I silently answered "Yes!" "What a beastly night to strike New York in," grumbled Jim as we and our bags got into a taxicab first one I ever rode in. "Pity you couldn't have seen it first under better conditions." "But but, Jim, dear, it's perfectly beautiful and wonderful and glorious!" I cried, watching the wet glitter of the crowded pavements and the dripping headlights of innumerable automobiles and street cars. "I believe a rainy night must be better than a clear night. The sparkle is doubled. And there's such a comradely feeling in the air. I lyve the umbrellas and the ugly raincoats. People seem snug and good-natured under them. And Just see how Inviting the hotels and shop windows look!" Jim grunted. He didn't see at all. Oh, what wouldn't I give if Jim took delight In the things that thrill me! I felt like rushing upstairs when we reached the Waldorf, shedding my good clothes, scuttling into old duds and faring forth with rubbers and umbrella to -meet adventure! But Jim wouldn't do that in a mil
lion years. He would think me mad
to want it. He would say, "Ann, do
you think it quite er nice to run
about the streets alone? You will be
sure to be misunderstood."
Now I know I would not be misun
derstood. A woman's sincerity is her own protection. Some day I am going
to prove this. Meantime I must be
the conventional wife and homefinder. I do not wish to stay long at this hotel. I see I shall soon tire of the life and the types that swarm through its corridors and in its super-luxurious dining rooms. Jim pointed out the elegance of

I say "bodies" because I see nothing that would stimulate the soul or character of a person living this life. On the other hand, If coms: rnthAr i-irtioiilrms fnr ahle-

My windows overlook acres and acres of lights, housetops, tall buildings that seem to touch the clouds, narrow straets splotched with parti-colored brilliance and t'ny black creatures bobbing about under wet umbrellas. I open my windows wide and the strangest sort of sound comes in. It is a low whirr, like distant wheels. It is the Voice of the great city pitched in a subdued tone. I shall listen for it in the morning, louder, more welcoming. (To be continued.)
