WON'T MAKE LOVE
TO A RICH GIRL

Dear Miss Libbey:
wonder If you can help me out of
my predicament- 7 have a very dear
boy friends whom I think a great deal
of, but as I am an only child Of we'll
to-do parents he hesitates and wants
to break the friendship. It seems he
has some false pride about money
matters; thinks he shouldn't think Of
taking a girl he couldn't support the
way she has been used to. think that
is all a. big mistake. How can I over
come this in him and make him see
the truth? Why do the young men Of
this day hold back that account? This
is the second time I have run against
this snag with a, boy that could real
" like. I anxious1y await your reply.
P. B.
The young man seems to be level
headed. Girls of wealth often fancy
they can win any poor young man
they may happen to take a 1iken to.
The right kind Of a man will not enter
into a onesided love affair, refusing to
sue for any one girls heart and hand
if his own heart and hopes do not go
with it. A woman's wealth has no tenn
tation for the right kind of a man. If
he earns his own fortune, he is proud
to bestow it on the girl he selects for
his wife.

It is not wise for girl to show
jealousy. Nothing cools lovers ardor
more quickly. 1t also betrays to him
his sweethearts fear that other girls
are more attractive than she. Do not
take the first step of making up"
He will do that when he finds that
you are dearer to him than any OF the
other girls he meets. Do not write to
him; he should write to you asking
you to forget and forgive. Give him
time to reflect: smile and bow pleas
antly when you meet. I think he will
return to you soon.

practice under war conditions at Vera
Cruz There were no spots around the
Mexican seaport where a land ma
chine could have alighted and, Of
necessity, the work was all done by
the water machines. In the British
army, war flying has been brought to
its highest efficiency. In peace times
the Britshers were not going out for
long distance records, like the Ger
mans. or for fancy flying: they were
quietly developing flying as war
time talent. And the results are now
apparent. II the American flying man
wants to equal his British brother, he
must be ready to climb into the air
in any wind. Snow. rain, hail and
even darkness must not stop him.
There is a world Of difference between
those hot summer days at Fort Meyer,
in 1908. when the Wrights were show
ing their machine to the American
army officials and wouldn't go into the
sky until all the flags were hanging
limp in a MINDLESS air, and these war
days Of 1915, when an English flying
man flies in tornadoes, II necessary.
There is only one sort OF q day on
which the flying men do not ascend
and that is the day on which the
clouds hang low.
This was illustrated the other day
when an oficer Of an ant1-air craft
gun sent shell into the sky to SHOW
me how the gun worked. We coulon I
see the shell burst, whereupon he or.
dered a shell set to burst at DUO rect
above the ground. We looked into
the sky expecting to see nash OUT

there was none The explosion was
hidden by the clouds, which were less
than 500 feet above us. An aeroplane
man at greater height than 500 feet
on a day like this could see nothing
below the clouds. he would present an
unmissable target to rifles and air
craft guns.
There were no days at Vera Cruz
when the weather prevented our navy
airmen from flying and 1t Is safe to
say that our army airmen, few as
they may be, are equally expert.
In map making the British army ex-
cells. There are field kits for map
makers, by which s1Gall maps can be
turned out rapidly; even colored maps
can be made in the fighting zone.
These maps show even the positions
of scattered houses, as well as bridges,
wind mills and hay stacks and they
are so plentiful that even the non-ccm-
missioned officers may possesses them.
How well Mexico is mapped In tho
war department at Washington, no one
but the experts know. but there were no
map making kits visible at Vera Cruz,
and the only maps were those that
were laboriously patched out from
existing railroad maps and others.
It Is not possible, however, or fair
to draw the comparison too closely be-
tween the British army in the field
and the forces which General Funston
brought to Vera Cruz. General Funs-
toms force was intended for occupation
only and not necessarily for advance,
while this British army is out-f1tted
and prepared to proceed to Germany.
