ON THE MORROW
Belgian Socialists are Ready to Quit

United Press Leased Wire Service.
BRUSSELS. April 12.--All hope of
a compromise between the socialists
and the government was abandoned
tonight and more than $4,000 Bel
sian workingmen are ready to strike
Monday to emphasize their demand
for manhood suffrage by the biggest
labor movement In Europe's indus
trial history
To keep from paralyzing the coun-
try. all the proposed strikers will not
quit on the first day but by mid-week
the socialists predict that more than
100000 men will have stopped work.
Troops tonight have occupied every
city that the strike will affect and
the wives and children Of nearly all
the socialists have been sent to Ger
many, France and Holland, in prepa-
ration for the strike. The movement,
which has been under way more than
year. is unique in the history Of
trade unionism, in that It's object Is
political rather than Industrial 1t is

unions, except the few that are allied
with the dominant Catholic party and
the socialists are united in their de-
termination to force a reform of the
electoral laws which give certain
classes two or more votes, with the
result that the government remains in
the control of the monied aris.ocracy.
The government is taking extraor-
binary measures to cope with the
situation. The full quota Of the civic
guard has been mustered and all
regular troops are modified. Trouble
is expected in Liege and Antwerp, de-
spite the assurances of Camille
Huysman, who will direct the strike,
and Socialist Leader Vandervelde that
/ there will be no violence.
Not all the railroad men will strike
at the beginning of the movement,

the government and the leaders have

II the great number of women who
believe that they are sadly lacking
In beauty who pass valuable time and
money in vainly trying to acquire it

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
(By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.)

Dear Mrs. Thompson: O-My COM

told me to use the cream off the milk.
Will that be good? (2)-My nose is
red and sidney What can 1 do? o.
Is talcum powder good for the hair?
d. am always kind of bashful
when with young men. How can L
overcome that? ANXIOUS.
O-Buttermilk is better. (2)-Tight
lacing or a tight collar will make the
nose red. A bad stomach will also do
it, and make the complexion poor. Tight
shoes are bad for the circulation and
will redden the nose. Coldcream the
nose gently, and apply powder to it
during the day.
Ono. A good egg shampoo is the
best way to clean the hair.
ODE sure that you look nice, then
forget all about yourself, and you will
no longer be bashful with anybody. Re-
member that men are not wonderful
beings at all, and that they are not
thinking of you any more than they do
of other girls.

meet girls on street corners after dark?

girl of Is. Do you advise US to elope,
as our parents will not give their con-
sent to our marriage? (S)-Is it proper
to wink at girls in school? Q)-I have
seen a pretty girl with whom L would
like to correspond. Please advise me.
(5)-Should We smoke cigarets? (6)-Is
it proper to kiss a girl goodnight? 60
Should we attend public dances?
(S)-Should a boy whose height is TT.

Q)-Can't you find something more
manly than that. to do? Nice girls

(2)-Do you think you are able to
support her, Sonnie? There's some
thing to marriage, you know, besides
