CYNTHIA GREY'S
:: LETTERS $:

Dear Miss Grey: go to
see a lawyer quite often on
business, and his partner is
almost always there. / have
not been made acquainted
with him, and sometimes l
greet him, and sometimes l
don't. When I do, he smiles
pleasantly: but when l don't
he looks at me until I am
embarrassed. I have talked
a little with him when watt
ing for my lawyer, and ! like
to greet him; but don't want
to do anything improper.
PUZZLED.
Al see no harm in saying
good morning, or afternoon, or ex.
changing a few pleasant words
with the man while waiting. The
trouble is you are pleasant al
times and then snub him. Men
can't understand those things,
and / can't blame them.
The trouble is women have
been reared to think IL highly dam
gerOus to speak to man they do
not know. Sometimes you are
swayed by that training, and at
others you relax and act like a
human being. While 1 do not be-
lieve in scraping up an acquaint-
ance with everyone, at the same
time there are occasions such as
you quote where mere pleasant
greeting Is not out of place.
EITHER SAY GOOD MORNING
TO THE MAN ALL THE TIME,
OR NOT AT ALL.
Dear Miss Grey: About
two years ago l went with
girl of IT. She treated me
all right until she started to
go to dances. Then she
would have nothing to do
with me, because I wouldn't
attend too. Since then she
has been going wrong.
Her folks live in a nearby
town and are good, Christian
people, and l am sure they
know nothing of it. Would
you advise me to let them
know.
ONE OF YOUR READERS.
Alt is difficult to tell from
your letter whether the girl was
II two years ago, Or is that age
now.. If she is not yet 10. and is
attending public dances, see the
officer of the probate juve-
nile court and she will kindly
show the girl, and the proprietor

of the dance hall, that Il Is not
lawful for children under age to
attend public dance halls.
III she is over age, all you can
do Is to appeal to her through re-
spect for her parents and herself.
Dear Miss Grey: am a
girl of Is, and come to you
for advice. / would like for
you to tell me whether, or
not, 1t Is right for me to
speak to the boys who work
in the same apartment store
that 1 do. My mother says
1t is not right to recognize
them on the street. l speak
to these boys daily on bust
ness matters, so please tell
me. CATHERINE.
Al do not like to 60 against
what your mother has told you;
but personally 1 think II snobby
not to speak on the street TO per-
sons with whom you are engaged
i'm business. A girl need never be
familiar, nor allow a man to be;
but she can always be decently
polite.
Your mother has probably new
or made her living out in the
world, and the old rule Of Ell.
quette was to never speak to q
person to whom you had not had
a formal introduction.

A CLOSE TO NATURE.
A.-Everyone has q right to do
exactly as he pleases in regard to
the amount of clothing he wears,
providing he does not overstep the
law, so this man has the exquisite
right to 60 barefooted II he
wishes.
But he does NOT have the right
to impose his beliefs on others
who object. IL he wants to )be
close to Nature let him 60 live in
the woods. At the very least he
should keep out of such modern,
civilized places as houses.
Dear Miss Grey: Will you
tell me, is it proper for q
lady to assist a man friend
on with his overcoat when
leaving a public place?
GLADYS.
A.-Usually not: but II the arm
of the coat should catch, or there
be u little difficulty in the man
getting his coat ON quickly, 1t is
only kindness to lend a hand.

Administration Engaged in Pre-
liminary Work of Nation
Wide Investigation.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Tho Wilson adj
minstraton is engaged in the prelmi
nary work of arranging for a nationwide
Investigation of the causes of the high
cost of living and remedies for the prob
lem. The work has been going on quiet
ly for several weeks. As far as it has
progressed tho inquiry has convinced ad-
minstration officials that the urban and
rural popula lion will unite in an effort
to bring about an adjustment of agricul-
tural and marketing methods, without
which. in the opinion Of experts in the
agricultural department, there can be no
permanent relief.
The problem, as the administra ton is
considering it, is embraced in these two
divisions:
First-How to provide the average far
mer with the ready means to increase the
production of his land.
Second-How to lift for all the people,
and particularly the masses in the great
| centers of population, the burden of the
| steadily increasing cost of food
1t Is to the solution of these two ques-
| tons that the administration. in both the
executive and Legislative branches, is
turning its attention. In the opinion of
| President Wilson. Secretary Of Agricu-
ture Houston, and the leaders in Con-
gress these two questions taken together
| form the most serious problem confront
ing the nation It is a problem involving
far more than advanced and scientific
farming for included as important and
even vital factors are the questions of

There has been little publicity at

IN DEFEAT OF yesterday,
FANS FOUND MUCH OVER
WHICH TO REJOICE-FITTERY
LOOKS VERY GOOD

Baron braves will leave for Atlanta
this afternoon.
Before their return, they will have
had their metal tested. 1t might be
demonstrated that they are strong
enough to win the championship. and
then it might be shown that improve
ment will be necessary.
There will be big game in Atlanta
Monday afternoon. Should the day be
fair, it is safe estimate that Atlanta
will fill it's park with more than at
tended the opening game in Birming-
ham.
There is every reason why Atlanta
should win the trophy The Crackers
have just concluded a series on foreign
grounds, out of which they came with
three straight victories The fans are
hungry. The fans. with victory, arc
enthused Everybody in Atlanta has
Joined hands to bring out the largest
attendance possible And there is still
another pair of reasons
Atlanta knows the number drawn by
give Billy Smith grand reception So
the Barons will probably play before
the largest crowd they will have faced
this season.
That is. If the weather is warm and
fair.
The Barons lost yesterday. but In the
defeat there is much over which the
fans may rejoice.
Fittery is good. He showed speed
and curve. and control over his nerves.
He was wild-but the wind was high
and the weather cold. In the pinches
he was cool. 1t looks as IL a man with
whom to replace young Smith has can
tered up to Rickwood.
And there was the work of Mayer.
His hitting, his fielding, his throwing.
And his spirit was fine. He showed
rare intelligence. and Intelligence is.
after all. the strongest card with which
to play.
And Mcbride hit the ball in the
pinches.
And Messenger maintained his speed
in the field and on the paths and at
the bat.
So there was much in which to drown
the bitterness of defeat.
Atlanta played rings around chatta-
nooga. The Crackers found the Look
outs weak and proceeded to trim them
to queens taste
The Crackers are strong. it begins to
appear--very strong. They will prob
ABLY be strong contenders for the PEN
nant-unless B. Smith gets mad
Otner than the Crackers, no team has
SO far demonstrated It's superiority over
any other team Nashville and Biz
mingham seems we'll matched. Mont
gomery and Memphis broke even. New
Orleans and Mobiles to all practical pur-
poses showed no advantage over the
other. -

cry Will soon resound. Head Atlanta
