WHERE PoLTTENEss. FAILS.

- Dear Miss Lfbbey:
 am g young lady of twenty, very much interested in a young man who has recently been engaged as a clerk In a nearby drug store. He is very handsome and extremely polite in the store,s but if T meet him on the street he either does not appear to see me or notice me. I buy postage stamps and soda, also many things could get along without, just to talk to him. How can gain his admiration and frdendship2
 You are a very foolish girl to at tempt to buy recognition and friend ship along with the stamps and soda. Men know when they are angIed for and become wary fish, refusing to be caught. The fact that tl1t young clerk is polite to you. in the store. but does not desire that you should consider him a friend, should con vince you that he has no interest in you save as a customer Don't run after hin any more: you are wasting time.
 ANOTHER WOMAN IN HIS HEART Some say: Print 1t. others say,
 Some say, Tt might do good, 2 Others say, .sNoI No!'' ! t
 There are many letters which come to me over which I weep with pity, but do not print for obvious reasons, but in the hope that it may be a warning to many girl, placed sirni- 1arlys I give you this young girls let ter in part, with the hope that it will cause others to ponder as they stand on the iqDrink of just e dangerous a pfectpice.

March, the total for that month hav-
ing been 23,O00,000 linear feet, as
against 100000 in March of the pre-
ceding year. During the nine months
which ended with March the exports
aggregated 146.O00,000 linear feet, or
four times the amount exported in the
corresponding period of 1913 and near
ly treble the amount exported in the
same period of the former high-record
year, 1912. \ continuation of exports
upon the average level maintained in
the last nine months would bring the
| total for the full fiscal year up to 1885,
100000 linear feet, or sufficient to ex-
tend a motion picture film ribbon

surplus strips long enough to reach
from the equator to the north and

Prices of motion picture films are
steadily falling. In March, 1912, the

March, OF the present year, a little
more than 1-2 cents. The unexposed
films dropped in export price from II
cents per foot in March, 1913, to
cents per foot in March of the current
year, while the exposed films in the
same period slightly declined.
Formerly most of the films were ex-
posed before expectation; now about
four-fifths of the entire quantity ex-
ported consists of unexposed films
available for camera use in foreign
countries. OF the months exporta,

CALL PRICE FIXING RIGHT
Auto Makers Object to Antitrust
Bill Prohibiting II

Washington Feb. 19,-Representa-
tives of the automobile industry urged
the House Judiciary Committee today
not to include in its antitrust bills a
provision which would prohibit manu-
facturers from controlling the retail
prices of their products.
Alfred Lucking, representing the
Ford Motor Car Company, asserted
the there was fierce competition in
the automobile business and the pub
lie was not suffering from monopoly"
He declared that zone price to all was
the only moral. honest way to do bus
mess and that varying prices to
the public for the same article multi
piled opportunities for fraud, dishon-
esty and cheating"
Boyd Fischer, of New York, of the
Efficiency Society of the United
States, told the committee that price
fixing by manufacturers did not ne.
cessarily mean monopoly, and that in
many instances the exclusive CON
tract" was harmless He doubled the
ability of the committee to frame a
law eliminating the exclusive con-
tract without injuring legisimate bus
