Dear Mrs. Thompson: Cd I am go
ing on II years Of age. Am I too young
10 90 with fellows? Is it wrong for a
girl TO 20 with different young men?
t2) I went with fellow all last
winter and I thought lot of him and
he seemed 10 think the same OF me. We
wrote TO one another every week This
spring he Quit going with me and quit
writing. he still comes TO see me
once in a great while, but he won
come in the house and he never asks
for a date. Do you think ne cares Tor
me?
ts) How can a girl become attrac-
tive and win friends? I try 10 treat
everyone the best can, but they do
not return the friendship. There is
one girl who is angry at me and she
talks about me 10 other people Do
YOU think this is the reason people try
10 shun me?
go There is a fellow in our COM
munity who is about IS years old. He
seems TO try TO make love TO me- Do
YOU think we could be happy together
If we should marry. or is there too
much difference in our ages?
t5l is there any harm in going to
a social with a married man If you
are staying at his house and his wife
doesn't object2 CINDERELLA.
CD You are not old enough to go
with Just one boy. but you are old
enough to have several boy friends.
II is all right to have groups of young
people come TO your home, and 1t is
perfectly proper to let boy take you
home from similar gatherings at other
houses. A girl OF L should not let
boy call regularly or become serious
in his attentions.
90 He certainly does not care for
you.
(Sl When talking TO a person try TO
md out what he is particularly inter
ested in and get him TO talk on the
subject. Show great interest in what
he is saying and make as intelligent
replies as possible. Then he viii go
away thinking that you are a capital
girl. one worth knowing better. To
carry on such conversations You viii
have % he widely informed. Personal
appearance is one OF the chief factors
in attracting or turning away friends.
Everyone likes to associate with neat,
well dressed people. BY well dressed
I do not exactly mean extensively
dressed. Good taste works wonders as
well as money. BE spirited and ready
for wholesome sports. Both girls and
BOYS like girls who are in for long
walks, tennis. dancing, cards and other
games and frolics. Never be coarse
nor rough in any of your play. Keep

in the end.
The girl can do you no permanent
harm.
ca There is too much difference in
your ages. Probably he is only firt-
ing with you and does not intend to
marry you anyway.
90 You put yourself in position to
be talked about, which is not desirable
when you are trying TO make friends.
Dear Mrs. Thompson; Ny husband
insists upon spooning with me when
we are out in a crowd OF people and
think it is common. Don't you think
so, too? We have been married eight
weeks and I think it is time he grew a
little less afectionate. PIT.
It is not time that he should grow
less affectionate. Give him all the love
he wants in private, but refuse 10 make
a spectacle of yourself before people.
1t is as common for married people TO
spoon in public as for unmarried, but
a great many men refuse to believe
this.

QUIT AUSTRIAN ARMY
Italians Brave Cold and Dangers of
 Mountains to Reach Italy.

Milan, May 21.-Soldiers of Italian blood in the Austrian army are de- serting in large numbers and endur- ing awful hardships,. to cross the mountains to Italy. A dispatch from Verona today says that a few days ago the men on an Italan patrol hoat on Lake Garda noticed some thing fluttering high up the snowy side of Mount Baldo, across whose summit the frontier runs.
 Men were sent up to find out what the signal was and discovered amid the snow three exhausted men, halr dead with exposure and frost-bite They were deserters from the Aus trian army, who had fled across the Italian frontier, only to be caught in snoW-storm on the mountain. For three days and nights they had lain where they were found till their signals were seen from the lake.

Nose out of jcint," we'll Sonny doesn't like his brand new baby bro- ther any better than ether youngs- ters who have-up to that time been the exclusive joy and pride of their parents. After some little ieal- ousq and spite is shown, Sonny is reprimanded, so he finally decides there is only room in that household for one boy. From an old book he gets an idea. You could never in the world guess what an appalling scheme he thought of, so you surely want to go to the Orpheo theater to- day where amidst the pleasantest su.- roundings you can see for yourself what the little rascal tied up baby in a bundle and trudged off with him for today is the date which the man. agement has selected to show this latest Bobby Connolly Sonny Jim pie ture.

"WOMAN AND WINE,
World Film Presents William ElIion
 at the Best Theatre Monday.


 The World Film Corporation re- leases the five-part photoplay, "Wo- man and Wine,' based upon Arthur Shirley's play of the same name at the Best Theater Monday
 When produced seventeen years ago, the play was prodigious suc- cess on both sides of the Atlantic of French origin. "W A. Brady tAmeri- canzed it to the extent of alternating the scenes between New York and Paris.
 A memorable sensation of the play was a duel between the two bad wo- men of the play. They fought with knives in a flower market One was killed, the survivor of the duel plac- ed the corpse in a box and covered it with flowers.
 Along came the heroine of the dra- ma. flower seller. to replenish her stock. She picked up flowers from the box and discovered the corpse underneath. Tableau-horror!
 Resides it's dramatic value, ''Wo- man and Wine" has it's moral value. which is not to be overlooked in all photoplays.

Maunesia in Sea Shells.

Chemical analysis of starfishes, sea urchins and crinoids, collected from all parts of the world, show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present is found to vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magEesia is highest in those specimens that lived in tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy seas of Greenland and the Antarctic, with regular grada. tion between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon life at the sea bottom. The in- vestigations suggest that the skele' tons of these animals have the compo- sition of the manganese limestone, pr dolomite, and it is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which limestones are now formed. but also as to the temperatures of the oceans in different regions of the earth where. during different periods of geologic history, great deposits of magnetism limestone were formed.

Happiness a Duty.

The better we understand life, the more we come to the realization of the fact that happiness is a duty. It sig nifes that we are working in harmony With the laws of our being. It is one of the concomitants of righteousness. Righteousness ill it's last analysis will be found to be living in right relations with the laws of our being and with the laws of the universe about us. This attitude, this habit of happiness, is also a benefit to others As cheer fitness induces cheeriu!ness in others, so happiness inspires anG induces hap piness. We communicate this condi- ton to those about us. It's effects come back in turn from them to us again. As anger inspires anger. as love and sympathy inspire love and sympathy in others, each of its kind, so cheerfulness and happiness inspire the same in others. s.-Ralph Waldo r-ine.

The Centipede.

The centipede was formerly res, ident of the southern part of this country, but it has gradually worked its way to the North, so that now they are quite common in nearly every DOT. tion of the country. It thrives best in damp and warm places and has it's redeeming feature in that it catches and destroys many of the domestic pests we are well rid of. It's method of catching an insect seems to be to spring over it, inclosing and caging it with it's many legs. The belief occa- sionally met with that the centipede feeds on household goods and woolens or other clothing is without founda- tion. On the other hand, the bite of this creature is undoubtedly more or less poisonous, the effect depending on the susceptibility of the patient.

Ar Scouts Monographs.

When the military aeroplane is scouting, it usually carries two men. One is the pilot, who runs and steers the craft; the other is the observer, who marks the placing of the hostile troops, the position of their guns, the movement of trains, and the like. The observer also makes many sketches of the ground over which he is flying work that often interferes with his writing notes and memoranda. In certain conditions of flight, too, it is often hard for him to use pencil and paper. To obviate that difficulty the military aeroplane now frequently carries phonograph, with a speaking tube running to the mouth of the ob server, so that by talking into the machine at any time during the flight he can record his observations, and still have his hands free for his field glass or his sketchipg pencil.

Defects in Eyes.

One of the marvellous gifts of the here most eyes are more or less de- fective. Many eyes otherwise effec- tive strangely do not convey to the brain from the retina by way of the optic nerve the reflected rays of light that make for either of the primary colors-red, blue and green-not to speak of the innumerablc intermedi- ates, all due to the absorption, refiec- tion and transmission of rays of light of varying wave lengths. It might be said that we do net see objects at all, but only the myriad wavelets of ;uminiferous ether that are reflected from them.
