Several years ago loved a

-A.-The last thing ON earth
would ever advise any woman o.
girl to do is to marry for a mea
ticket. Unless you can respec
and love the man you are 3,
marry for what he is, rather thar
what he has, or because matri

The love of youth or the first
love is maddening, fascinating ant
usually carries its victim up, al
Into u paradise of inexplicable 10,
and suddenly drops Its victim into
the cold world of reality. This
love is short-lived. 1t Is the calm
love that steals gently

A.-Dear little school girl,
there is no royal road to "MOvie
Land" but a steep uphill path,
rough with the rocks of tribula-
ton and disappOintments and IL
leads to no fairy palace of ever
lasting joy and contentment. II
means continued hard work and
very little leisure time. No, in.

keen sacrifices is very great, l
advise you TO enter another field
of work. l am speaking to girls
who must rely upon their own
merits, who do not shrink away at
the hard knocks of experience:
not to those girls who have some
influential person to pull for
them.
The motion picture field is
Broad for those who are capable
and cut out for the work, and II
when you have closed your school
books you still feel that Is Jour
calling it would be worth a mighty
effort from you. Undshinted,
ambition Is the road
to success.

ATLANTA MAYOR ADJUDICATES
DELICATE WAR QUESTION

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 13.-Mayor
Woodward and Superintendent Of
Schools William NJ. Slaton are in
volved in a little war over the war.
1t started because a deleeation of
German citizens was mad over the
superintendent's instructions to city
teachers to discuss the European
war with pupils and advised them
to get the news out Of the papers.
When the German-Americans read
this letter, exhibited by woman
teacher of German descent, they
went to the mayor in a hurry and
showed the missive to the official.
Mayor Woodward at once addressed
letter to the superintendent advis-
ing him that in view Of President
Wilson's proclamation Of neutrality
it would be well to refrain from dis
cussing such questions In the pub
lie schools.

MUST MAKE OATH TO
GET HUNTERS LICENSE

Gainesville, Oct. 15-The cost Of
hunting this fall will be just little
higher than heretofore, E. 2. Jones,
State game and fish commissioner,
having issued instructions that pur-
chasers of hunters licenses be re-
quired to make application under
oath, and unless there Is low rate
fixed for such servic, 1t Ia probable
that this decree will prove very un-
popular, and may, in time, tend to
cause general disapproval of the
present game law. Capt. A. R. El-
more, justice Of the peace, has re-
ceived a communication from Com.
missioner Jones which reads, In
part, as follows:
"Mr. A. R. Elmore, Gainesville
Fla, Dear Sir-All purchasers OF
hunters licenses in future will be
required to make application under
oath. To save inconvenience to ap'
plicants, am sending you come ap
plication blanks to make applica
tions for h unters' licenses. Wher
an application is properly signed
and fee collected by you, send botf
to your county judge, giving appli
cant receipt for his money"

(By Associated Press. J

London, Oct. 5.-Not since the
electric light supplanted gas has
London been so sombre at night as
at present, when the German Zep-
pelin fleet is not an unlikely visitor.
The illuminated signs Of Piccadilly
Circus, tho lamp-studded cafe fronts
of Leicester Square have been extin-
guished. No more light Is allowed
than Is necessary to traffic. Along
the main ways of London, Thread
needle and Fleet streets, the Strand,
Regent and Oxford streets, compris-
ing the principal financial and shop
district, only every third street arc
lamp is in use, and the upper halves
of these are masked with black
paint SO as to throw down q cone of
light on the roadway. 1T is on these
lines that the Bank Of England. St.
Pauls Cathedral, Trafalgar monu-
ment, the National gallery and the
British museum lie. The suburbs;,
where the restrictions are easier,
are now the brightest parts Of Lon
don.

London's gayety in other respects.

Regulation has also practically end
ed the theater supper business OF
the hotels. The restaurant habit
has declined in general. There are
still twenty-five theaters running,
whose business depends not on the
state Of the weather, but on how the
war news goes. Good news means
good business, while bad reverse
to the allies leaves stalls and gal
lery empty.
The people are not nervous and
trust to the search lights which play
over London at night TO save them
from the Zeppelins.

chose one recruit to shave him, an
other to clean his boots while a
third was placed as sentry at the

to post this notice:
