Advice to Lovelorn
Prudery ind PIeasure.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax ] am perplexed
over the question wether il is proper or
improper for a young girl to go to
cabaret with her escort. Also, what
should she order in the line of drinks?
Would you please give the names of
few suitable refreshments in this line?
am young girl who likes pleasure
very much. but still l do not like TO do
anything that my mother would be
ashamed of telling, and still l do not
like to be a prude and spoil the fun for
others. PERPLEXED.
There are some cabarets TO which it
would be proper for you to go. Drink
lemonade, orangeade, ginger ale, sar-
saparllla. grape-juice, or any bottled
water. Simply make sure that the
cabaret to which you go is a perfectly
reputable one; drink no liquor, leave be-
fore midnight. and rely on your good
taste to keep you from doing anything
that would shame your mother.

Dear Miss Fairfax: May l have your
advice on a matter of considerable inn
portancc to me? l am young man of
q. and am earning $50 per month. My
work is far away from the comforts of
my home and l feel the need Of some
one TO give me the comforts Of home
and TO have an interest in my work,
which is professional in nature and at
times very heavy. l am tired of board

LONESOME.
You had better analyze your situation
a little more carefully. Talk it over with
the girl. 1t is not good to wed just be-
cause you are lonesome. Your salary is
quite sufficient to support a wife in a
modest way. Many men are raising
families on less.

MAYNARD BOY PROBLEM

Preventive measures are of value in many lines of effort. They are much more valuable and satisfactory than a cure in just the same ratio that a stitch in time saves nine As the re- suit of a. recent investigation into vice conditions in Massachusetts recom- mendations were made that attention should be directed to the feeblemind- ed while still in school for the check ing of wrong tendencies and keeping them from the danger zone It is the same situation which confronts those who are dealing with the problem of the wayward boy. Fail to inspire him, push him onto the world. lend him no encouragement when he needs it, place no restraint upon a tendency to go to the dogs and the result is that wrong influences stand a good chance to conquer Such errors of today are repeatedly shown to result in the crim- inals of tomorrow. Bad company is easily gained and hard to shake off.
 When it is estimated by the Boys Friendly society that four thou sand two hundred and six boys eigh- teen years and under, first offenders, and others with previous police record, were arrested in Connecticut in 1913 of whom three thousand, one hundred and eighty-one were arrested for the first time, 1t Is easily recognized what a responsibility rests upon giving a boy the proper start in life. The first arrest has different results. It may be a sufficient lesson for future con- duct and it may be the needed process of hardening for the perfection of an inglorious career. It is far better to prevent than to encourage young run- aways and wrongdoers.

NATIONS FINANCES.

The result of the income tax is of particular concern to the government just at this time. The actual knowl- edge as to what can be expected from this course in the shape of revenue IS desired Much reliance has been placed upon it for the production of the necessary sIm for making up the amount which is being lost through reduced custom receipts. since it was in expectation of a certain amount that the rate of assessment was fixed. Such was based, however, upon esti- mates, while it is the actual results upon which dependence must be placed and the government run
 That there should be concern Is but natural, in view of the showing which is being made by the national treas ury. By it's revelations finances are going from bad to worse. More is being spent than received, February alone showing a deficit of nine million dol lars. This coupled with the fact that the custom receipts for the month show a decline of ten million dollars makes the situation an awkward one until important facts are obtain
 With a deficit of twenty seven mil lion thus far this year as against 8 surplus of six million at the same time last year not only is it a matter ot immediate concern, but it must have an important bearing upon the appro- priations AS a remedial piece of leg islation there is ground for the anxiety lest 1t fail. There has been no indi- cation so far of the great benefits which would be gained by the change Rather has it cast doubt and uncer- tainty about a previous optimistic sit nation

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE WAR WITH NO DISCHARGE

often heard my father tell of the
 authorizations of volunteers from his
 native town in the stirring days of
 '61. Many of the boys had enlisted
 for go days, but with some doubt
 as to whether the war would last that
 long, They were full of excitement
 and patriotic hilarity as they board
 ed the train, expecting obe home
 soon at their old tasks. It seemed
 somewhat like a junket at the gov
 ernment's expense.
 But when months and years passed and some came home only for burial others came disabled and diseased, and still others were only reported missing every bit of glamour passed off and the whole country realized that we were engaged in a long and bitter war.
 It is not otherwise with those who
 have enlisted in the age-long cam paian of right against wrong, of truth against falsehood. They begin to realize that they are summoned not to a skrmish, nor to a single com l bat in which the enemy can be beaten 1 off once for all. The campaign will not end for any of them while life lasts. They appreciate the message of l the old hymn:
 Ne'er think the victory won Nor once at ease sit down; 1 Thine arduous work will not be done Till thou obtain thy crown. No one enters into real power of l character till his good impulses have l become matters of principle Spas | modic efforts, good intentions are use l full but must be established and made 1 permanent Neither the evils in ones own nature nor the intrenched evils l of society will yield to any save de- l termined and persistent assault. To | fire a few shots at the enemy and | then retire in disgust or discourga- ment Is to act very much like a de- l serter.

JOHN BASSETT MOORE

While the department of state was in need of the services at many times during the past year and has been greatly assisted by his advice and guidance in matters of international law, 1t cannot be without full reali- zation of the loss that the administra- tion accepted the resignation of John Bassett Moore. It is not the most &C., ceptable time for such q cutting off of his assistance. Just at this time the Mexican situation commands un- usual attention and at no period since the administration toek up tho feins of government has greater weight been placed upon the department CT state in this particular direction.
 Prof. Moores resignation has been the cause of much speculation, both because of his special qualifications for the position and the many rumors of such action which preceded It.

LISTENING TO AeITAToRs.

The country is anxiously awaiting the improvement in conditions which will overcome the large number of un- employed It is the season when idle ness can be expected in certain guar ters, but from ocean to ocean, espe- cial1y in large eenters is to be found 8 greater number of the homeless and workless than is desirable. Not only does this indicate an unwelcome change, but it also furnishes a prob lem for the cities for whether they are willing to work and unable to get it, or do not wish to work, idleness can always be depended upon to lead up to mischief and trouble.
 There are always those who prefer to profess their anxiety to get em ployment and deplore their inability to get 8 job, who if offered work would have a ready excuse for refusing it, or because of their inability to make personal adjustments would prefer to remain among the curbstone howlers and null over their troubles.
 This is particularly true of New Yorks situation today. There are doubtless many out of work, who are willing to work, but precious little headway is likely to be gained by per MlLIln& JhGInSeifSS lo De HiiSS d1oSu by the l. ". W. agitators whose en- deavors are directed to causing trou- bie and discontent rather than obtain ing relief. The leaders are men who do not work themselves and where idieness Is to be found they recognize the golden opportunity for creating unrest, and no class of men Is so cas- ily influenced as the idle. The dis couragement of the agitators thus means & benefit not only to the city but to those who may be jobless though willing 10 work With as much at tention devoted to themselves as they can be encouraged to give to disorder though listening to agitators, better results would follow.

 Hstty Hatfield was born to rule she certainly was tyrant. and her impertous temper led her to domineer over those about her. Her parents were her most loyal subjects. She was an only child. and in her early life her doting parents condoned every fault and found themselves best pleased when they yielded to her every wish and avoided rousing her tenn per which they laughed at, saying. "Hetty is so spunkyI"
 She was a beautiful little girl, and as she grew to maidenhood was ad- mitted to be more than ordinarily handsome. Of course there were those that shook their wise heads. and croaked, Handsome Is as handsome does." but even they gazed upon her with admiration. A fine complexion gave her cheeks the color of rose petals in which rested two dainty lips seemed fitted only for loving words and kisses. Her large dark eyes were well adapted to the roguish glances which they sent out through the long lashes which frinsed them. Dark curly hair escaping in delicate about the little she'll shaped ears com pleted the picture. Add to these dainty little hand and a trim foot and ankle, and you have 1etty Hatneld complete.
 Complete did I say? So it is com plete to look at, but truth compels me to say that those eyes too often flash ed with anger instead of roguery, ana the sweet voice. like that of Whittier s guest, had notes more high and shriii for social battle cry" Her temper drove her to lord it over her school mates and companions, and in fact ex- tended to everyone she knew, so that people often said, Better not stir up Hetty's temper, or you will find your self beaten in the battle" But on the whole. Hetty had many friends and few foes, so what wonder that she reached womanhood with little con- ception of her own failings.
 She had no lack of admirers among the beaus of her set. Among them all Sherman Conant appeared to be the favorite one although he would have greatly disliked being counted among the beaus of the place. In looks he was striking contrast to the lady oi his love. A broad chested, muscular fellow six feet and more in height His

PUT THEM UNDERGROUND

Conditions are constantly revealing the fact that one good move deserves another. Wherever the work has been accomplished of placing overhead wires underground excellent results have followed. Much Of the trouble which was experienced with pole lines is thus overcome, better service rem dered and greater contribution made to safety. Each heavy wind or ice storm confirms this more positively than ever
 The first steps in this placing of wires in conduits are confined to the telegraph and telephone wires but there Is far greater service which can be rendered both in behalf of the ap- pearance of the streets and safety by a similar disposal of the electric wires Concerning light and power wires the Philadelphia Record well says that the arguments in favor of putting them underground have tenfold force Charged with deadly electric currents, they are not only menaces in them selves, but are likely to convert into 2 menace every other wire which they may happen to cross when broken. The transfoTInation of overhead into underground systems cannot be ac- cornphshed all at once; but ultimately the change will have to be made. The much more difficult and expensive task of abolishing grade crossings has been taken up; and the minor, but never theless real, danger from crossed wires presents conditions which can not be forever left unremedied'
 In the course of everyday events little consideration is given to the dangers which exist from broken wires carrying a deadly current until some fatality happens, but the dangers are materially increased and brought to attention by heavy storms. Under ground work is expensive, but 1t is permanent and safer.
