10 the proposed refund of~the 81. .000068 OF
more which he expended In preventing
floods on the Lower Colorado River last

recommended that Congress authorize the
refunding OF this money.
On the occasion OF a former visit 20

POINT OF VIEW

Seventeen IS rather young for the
juggling with masculine hearts, for how
ever forward girl Of that age may be.

proved by the agility with which she
changes her favored suitors. Think of

system of bringing up girls and boys
together It teaches the girls independ-
ence and tones down the Highland

But AZ the Arst dawn Of the sentimental
period girls reed the protection Of a
third party, the moral protection OF a
parent OF guardian We may tax as
loudly as We please OF the useIessnesc
Of chaperon in this country. because
American girls arc able 70 take care %.
themselves. but the fact remains that
awful mistakes are being made all the
time by the very girls whose ability 10
take care OF themselves We laud 10 the
skies.
Sentimental feelings are born under
several, conditions, moonlight and S.
lence chiefly. They are wholly subdued
By the presence Of a watchfui pair OF
eyes. There are popular homes. where
young mems calls are enjoyed by the
whole family, and this state Of affairs
does rot interfere with serious atten-
tons when the men are worth while
There are other homes where tired
mothers and fathers 90 10 bed and leave
the duties Of entertaining 20 young
daughters Calls are prolonged beyond
reasonable hours. because there is no
watchfuiy eye. and little acts OF famiI- !
iarity, not possible in the presence Of q
third person, become common.
Believe me or not. I declare that the
present generation OF young people have
rather loose ideas OF morality, and laugh
at the code OF their parents day. You
can see It everywhere. even in such public I.
places as railway coaches and steam /
boats. The little children. too young to

hearts, pick them out and change them

ters and brothers, and at dusk each day
I can look from my windows and see girls I
in short dresses paired OF with male 4
companions and grouped under the shade /
