Dear Miss Grey: am q
young man, % years of age,
and engaged to a young lady
in the east. Since L have
been out west / have gained
the acquaintance of young
lady whom I have fallen des-
perately i'm love with.
Now, Miss Grey, what
want to know is how I can
break the engagement with
my former love and win the
heart of my present ideal.
Please do not neglect to an
swer this, as feel that I am
greatly in need of your adj
vice. ID. p.
A.-Indeed, I will not tell yot
how to win any girls heart
only to break it. Until yor
your harum-scarum
scapegrace ways you are not wor
thy of a girls love.
You may be instantly and DIES
perately attracted by the young
lady, but love is OF a slower
growth. You are greatly in neet
of advice" and l hope you will
follow it.
Don't break your engagement
with the eastern girl; wait unit
you have known your "presen
ideal" CD as long, and probably
you will not care to break 1t.

Each Have Some Regret.
Dear Miss Grey: I have
a big problem to solve. We
all have our different expe-
riences In love, according to
our temperaments.
About two years ago, 1
met young lady and slowly
but as surely as the sun
rises 1 loved her. We were
engaged a little over year,
but her mother and 1 just
could not get along, and the
girl finally threw me down.
1t has been nearly a year
since 1 have seen or heard
from her, yet IL seems 1 cam
not forget her.
Now, the big question that
is always on my mind Is,
should I blame her for not
staying with me on account
of her mothers trouble and
mine, or should I not? Please
give me a little advice, for
my heart still aches for her
even for all.

One Girl Has Suddenly
Awakened.
Dear Miss Grey: Like
many others, i come to you
when in trouble.
1 have been an intimate
friend of certain girl for
nearly three years. During
this time we have been fool
ish by indulging in a kissing
game occasionally. Now,
very suddenly, she has
changed and has asked me to
promise never to kiss her
again. / shall, of course,
promise; but l cannot UNDER
stand her alteration, as her
reason is "Oh, just because"
As You are a woman and
understand girls, will you
please explain this sudden
change? PUZZLED.
A.-You, yourself, admit 1t to
be foolish, isn't ii quite probable
the girl has come to the same
conclusion? 1t is to be hoped So
at least.
Doubtless she has come to view
the situation through clear eyes
and can see herself as others see
her.

AT THE TACOMA

Always popular as a play or
in book form, the films of "The
Prisoner of Zenda" at the Tacoma
theater are proving very popular.
"Zenda" Is one of the greatest
romances, and James X. Hackett,
who plays the dual role of King
Rudolph and Rassendyl, is one of
the greatest romantic actors. This
is a combination that cannot help
scoring.

 PLAY, THE UPPER TRAIL"
Boys Four-Act Drama of Assoc at Ion n Life to be Staged by Phi
 Aiphs Pi.

The Upper Trail" a most inter- esting play for boys, in four acts, written by Raymond Osborne Hanson, the popular boys work director of the Young Mems Christian AssOcia- tiOn of San Francisco, will be played by the Phi Alpha Pi fraternity of the Y. NJ. c. A. at the high school auditorium on Friday night, April 25.
 This is a story, thrillingly interest ing, based on boys work in the aSso citation summer camps, and will give one a good idea of the varied work done in the Y. M c. A
 It is so written and arranged that boys play boys parts, not some heavy dramatic or humorous line of stuff not suited to them, but such as they are playing every day on the stage of life
 The story sets out that of boy who at the start is tough" or ''roughneck" as commonly called. and who, through the influence of the camp, of clean associations and the faithful boys work secertary is changed into a four-square, manly young fellow.
 The plot is very interesting and introduces a lot of choice comedy, and will be played entirely by the boys themselves, with the aid of a few men to take the mems parts ir the play.

WORK AT INDIAN BEND
 AND EVERGREEN HELD UP
Contractor Mann Has Difficulty with His Labor and Has Not Com
 pleted Job

work on the two Wasteway struc- lures in the Arizona Canal-one at Evergreen and the other at Indian Bend,-Was started about the first of the year on contract which called Tor the completion of the two cement boxes and their trimmings by Jan uary 18th. precisely. This contract Was let by the reclamation service to Herbert J. Mann
 The work is far from finished vet.
 Some days before the 25th of Jan uary the work ceased on these two structures and if it has been re sumed since it has been spasmodic to say the least. The first stopping of the work on January 21st was due to the fact that the contractor had gotten an extension of a month on account of the fact that he found 1t necessary to build a large earth
 work dam in the canal at Ever green. new canal was cut around the work at Evergreen and inciden- tally a few thousand miners inches of water wasted on the desert at
 the mouth of Paradise valley. Some
 time after the work stopped, gangs were held around the camps. but at the present time the contractor las no forces outside of a couple of camp watchers at Indian Bend. The reasons for stopping the work appear to be trouble between the contractor and his labor It is said ! that excessive prizes for food and supplies have been used to deprive the Workmen on the two structures of what money they got for their | labor.
 It is not important that the ] work upon these structures be com pleted immediately. Both are merely 1 there and they can be completed and
 put into operation almost any time | before the project is opened.
 This delay will not greatly incon- Venience anyone. Possibly this is 1 the reason that the reclamation en-
 gineers have not insisted on taking ! over the contract which must have i been forfeited by this time
 1 It is said that most of the con-
 crete work on the Evergreen struc-
 ture is not fit to be used for any reclamation purpose It is said that
 in some places the forms sagged and 1 the concrete belied out so that it | has had to be chipped off and re- plastered to true it up. The Indian 1 Bend structure has been informally 1 inspected by a government engineer
