Can't I Do Something to
Make Him Good?

Dear Miss Grey: Am a
young married woman. Kind
Iy help me as L don't know
what to do.
When 1 met my husband,
he was so nice and treated
me swell; but now if 1 only
go to the grocery store he
will get sore and raise cane
with me. He never takes me
out and 1 am not allowed to
go and see anyone. He took
me out of town to live in a
deserted street and there is
only one neighbor, who is
dear old lady, but even this
woman he forbids me to see.

away from home to marry
him when l was only 10. 1
do love him and / am sure
he knows il. 1 know he
doesn't love me or he
wouldn't be so cruel to me.
L will soon be 10 years
old. We have no children
and my folks want me to
come back home and be
their little good girl like 1
was before. They know he
is mean to me. My brother
wants to whip him; my faith
er wants to have a heart to
heart talk with him and
make him give me up; but
you know, Miss Grey, 1 won't
let them. Would you advise
me to leave him after the
treatment 1 get?
He hits and kicks me,
pulls my hair and pinches
my arms until l cry from
pain. 1 have marks on my
body always from him. Can't
1 do something to make
him be good? Miss Grey,
1 pray to God to wipe him
from my memory forever.
He isn't worthy a clean and
loyal wife. 1 go to church
and am a Christian. 1 hope
you are too.

What to Do When Marriage
License Is Lost,

Dear Miss Grey: 1 have
been married IL years, and
short time ago we lost our
marriage certificate in trav-
cling. We were married in

where the minister is now.
We have three children

the marriage certificate. Can
you tell us how we can get
another? Ii. G.
Aft you cannot find the

In Reply as to Who Was

Rlnn nyf ~


paul Bunyon and His
Blue OK"
Dear Miss Grey: Please
print the following Informal
ton for the benefit of 'NIiss
TenderfOOt."
/ am surprised, astounded
and chagrined to think that
you, a western girl, don't
know about Paul BunyOn's
blue OK.
Paul had a mill. In order
that you may know where it
was located, 1 will say he
used the Pacific ocean for a
log pond. Everything done
at this famous mill was on
a large scale. He had a 16-
mule team skidding pickles,
while nine niggers on roller
skates creased the pancake
griddle. / could occupy
hours repeating the loggers'
mythology of the Bunyon
camp; but you asked about
the OK.
Well, the browning glory
of this camp was the old
blue OK, which measured AZ
feet between the eyes. He
had a chain made for this
OK every link of which
weighed 40 pounds. The first
pull the OK made straight
ened this out into q solid
iron bar and the next pull
brought the trunk of the tree
and left the bark and limbs
there. Yours truly,
OSCAR MOSSBACK.

The Boy Is Right-If Strong
Enough He Can Help.
Dear Miss Grey: am a
young man 10 years of age
and go to high school.
There's a girl in the school
room two years my senior
who insists on trying to
flirt with me. Now, Miss
Grey, she is not the kind of
girl that 1 want to be &C.
quainted with on accoun. of
her looks and manners. L
don't want to tell her be-
cause it will hurt her feel
ings, but still L am almost
afraid to look at her be-
cause she would wink at me
or something like that.
A.-Look upon this event as 6
rare opportunity to help the
girl, and either write or tell hel
firmly that you do not approve
of her. Do not make her think
you will notice her If she be-
HAYES, but impress 1t upon hel
that she has the power to make
a woman of herself, or the oppo-
site.
Young men little realize the
power for good they possess. Now
that l have told you, use it.

WHAT WOMEN
THINK

A woman can do more to per-
petuate her name by inventing a
new couture than a man can by
inventing a new hydroplane.
A woman's discretion Is often
born of previous indiscretion.
To lose one husband In a d.
vorce court may be a misfor-
tune; to lose two is a mark or
carelessness, to lose three Is a
habit.
Woman should not make her
self heard in the world by wear
ing loud clothes.
Romances rob a woman of ro-
nance.
