BY Cynthia Grey.

81 am miserable" write a girl
of sixteen. Il don't enjoy COM
pany a bit because l can't think
of anything to say, while other
people are such good conversa-
tionalists. Oh, If 1 could only say
clever things!"
This is not the first time l have
heard this cry of anguish. Thous-
ands of people are fretting and
Borrowing because they cant talk
in company"
And yet 1t is one of the most
groundless of worries. Let me say
to all people who are uncomfort-
able because they are not good
conversationalists:
First rid yourself of the notion
that you MUST keep up a CONVEX
sation when you are with some
one.
Do not say anything at all un-
til some thought comes to your
mind that you REALLY WISH to
tell the other person; until it
would be a hardship on yourself
to retain it.
If you but knew, dear girl, that
we suffer rather from too much
conversation, than too little!
At these times when you think
you ought to talk, you are with
some other person, are you not? If
he, like you, has nothing to say,
then he would have as much rea-
son to be embarrassed as you,
wouldn't he? (Which, as I said
before, is no reason at all.) He
cannot expect you to do some
thing he does not, and you can
not expect him to do something
you do not. So why discomfort
yourself? Enjoy the sweet silence
which is evidently the proper
thing. as there is nothing you
wish to impart to each other.
But If the other person is a
talker, the situation is even more
simple. Takers don't like to
meet takers; they like to meet
listeners. So Just look straight
at your companion and take 1t
all in. If you let go of yourself,
III you relax, If you drop your
strained anxiety to please, you,
will naturally grow interested in
what our companion is saying,

King County Candidates
All Take the Pledge

SEATTLE, Aug. 16.-AN of the
republican members from King
county in the next legislature will
go there under pledge to vote for
the party choice for United States
senator. This circumstance virtu-
ally eliminates all King county
senatorial candidates In case Poin-
dexter is the popular choice, since
the representatives of the special
interests here could not success
fully appeal in the legislature for
the votes of unpledged outsiders
for a candidate who was. not re-
ceiving the vote of any of the rep
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-08-16

resentatives from his own county.
King county this year elects
eight senators and seventeen rep
resenatives and every candidate
entered i'm every district has taken
the pledge except one, Mont j.
Gay, who has no hope OF election.
A few, two or three, of these, the
republican nominees, may be de-
feated by democrats, but If SO 1t
will be by democrats of such char
acter as could not be prevailed
upon to become parties to the plan
of defeating the popular choice
for senator.

YOU NEED NOT TALK
IF YOU DON'T WISH TO

land will talk a little. too.
There need be no awkward ST.
lence" in ordinary conversation,
for If there is a silence it is just
a sign that the people would rath-
er not talk.
1t will be hard for you to be-
lieve, dear girl, that people who
are brilliant takers admire moth
ing so much as the calm sweet
silence of a little girl like you,
which says more than all their
quips and stings.
But it is pleasant to talk some
times, and to have that pleasure
you must make something of
yourself, through study, reflec-
ton and work. Only that talk is
worthy which comes out of True
Being.
But never give way to this
nervousness again. Remember,
1T is never necessary to talk. But
If somebody else talks, it is nee
essary to listen.

MAKE THEM
BURN OIL

Fire Warden F. Thorpe says
the coming legislature will be
asked to pass law requiring all
railway engines to be equipped
with oil burners in this state.
No other plan seems to be ade-
quate to prevent forest fires, one
good fire causing more loss than
1t would cost to equip the whole
railway system of the state with
oil burning engines.
