Pretended Affection.

Dear Miss Libbey: I am young
girl, eighteen years of age. A, young
man of twenty-one has been paying
attention to me. I had every reason
to believe he loved me, as he pro-
posed marriage. He wished it to
take place at once, I demurred,
wished to wait until this month.
Finally he consented.
He went away on business, and for
three weeks thereafter did not hear
from him. Then he wrote me. I an
swered it, then for over four weeks
he did not reply. Then he wrote again
saying he had been i'll. Of course, ]

Since then-which is some time ago
I have not heard from him. 1t seems
impossible for me to forget him

Fascinated by Conductor.


Dear Miss Libbey: am fascinated
by a handsome street car conductor.
We We're lovers while ago, and at
that time he urged me to elope with
him. We used to meet and take walks
and talk it over. Lately he told me
we could not marry or be sweethearts
any more. Do you think he really
meant it? Does he care for me, and
will he ever marry me? Please do
not delay answering. MISS c. S.
When a young man finds that his
interest in a girl is waning, he SEN
sibly considers that it would be an
injustice to her to fool her along with
hopes that could never be realized,
and that It is wisest and best to break
away at once. A young girl should
force herself to see the matter in the
same light. He expects you to here
after place your hopes elsewhere.

comedy In good shape. despite the life
less work of the male comedians who
are supposed to carry quite part OF
the burden. little more ambition on
the part OF his supporters would add in

feature. II was rather warm In the

PETROGRAD. Aug. 2.-Frank ad-
mission that the important cities OF
Wilma and Bielostok will shortly fall
into the hands Of the Germans. thus
severing the Petrograd-Poland Rau-
way. was made by a high official of
the war Office today.
'Our forces, however, will retaif two
trunk lines and various branches. suf-
ficient to withdraw our armies without
danger Of capture" said this official
In an interview approved by the gov
ernment.. I'VE do not believe that Pet
rograd is in any danger from the Ger
man armies. Ample forces have been
concentrated and tho necessary meas
ures have been taken to protect tho
capital"
The war office. the official said. gives
full credit to German strategy for d.
recting a campaign that will be recorded
as one Of the greatest offensive move
ments In the worlds history. He ad-
mitted that the Austro- German sue
gical superiority. rather than to any
prepondcrance In men on the enemy's
side. But the war office. he said. Is
greatly cheered at the rapid increase In
the production Of war munitions and
sees .rI bright , outlook for the future: e,

said. with heat. THAT ts just what the
Germans have been unable to do. They
have pounded down forts and forced US
to retreat, but territory is something
that always can be regained.
THE day Is not far distant when we
will again assume the offensive and
push the Austro- Germans back to their
own borders. There is no concealing
the fact that our present difficulties are
due - errors we have made in the past
But we are firmly confident that they
plete triumph"
The war office official urged the peo-
pie to repose the fullest confidence in
the success of the allied forces now
attacking the Dardanelles.
Though the progress Of the allies
seems slow, the truth is that the most
intense warfare presently will be pro-
ceeding." he said in conclusion. THE
results that will be finally manifested

GHOSTS GO ON JAG,

SpirituaIist Declares Shades of
Drunkards Chose Mortal
Companion on Spree.

Husbands who sometimes drift
home late for supper have a new ex-
cuse.
They may blame It on >spirits-the
kind in the other world. For 1t has
been stated on the authority Of DR..
James B. Candy. a leader in the spir-
Parkland. Pa. that old John Barley
corn has q formidable ally in those
spirits who have died without re-
pentance over their lust for liquor.
Doctor Candy says a drunkards ap-
petite for drink doesn't necessarily
end when he shuffles off this mortal
coil. Repentance. of course. can save
be in full force before the astral body
takes Its flight from the shell which
the soul inhabits while on earth.
II there Is no repentance. DR.. Candy
declares. there Is one less drunkard
In the world and an added unit to the
drunkard's column in the spirit land
beyond.
Naturally. a spirit alcoholically in
elined isn't going to fnd any dram
shops In the land beyond the grave.
so the spirit keen for a jag. maneuv-
ers 1t this way:
He opera tes his evil spirit influenc ce
on some iinpre2sionahle subject here
on earth. The subject on earth Is
the fellow VINO ought to watch out,
but he doesn't. He goes around. ac-
cord.ng 20 Or. CsnGy. Little suspect :
ing that there Is an evil spirit genius
who knows wH!l his weakness. iol-
loving his cN%ry sep.
The subject finally succumbs to the
influence and the human jag results
In the meantime simultaneously. as II
were--the spirit who put on the show
is enjoying a sort of theosophical bun
a spir!tua! hilarity in the dark zone
on the O''r'- side.
DIR. Candy does not want It to be
thought that these attacks Of the
thirsty sn.gits are irra"' stible. In ii
word these trouble makers seize upon
willing subjects. After making a sur
vey Of their ground they choose those
mortals who Ire inclined to seek evil
company on earth.
The spirit drunkard probably visits
a rum shop and begins operations on
some one who has taken Just one drink
before getting the car home. and who
has a minute or SO previously declared

DR.. Candy's yolemnly asserts that the
evil spirit seizes on this fellow as 9

TAKING THEIR PLACE IN THE
HOME

H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, and
other 'dreamers have pictured the
dire disasters of an interruption in
the commonplaces of life. What
would happen, for example, if the
sun failed to rise some morning, or
II the law Of gravitation should fall
ter for few minutes?
New York suffragists are going to
demonstrate. They are tired being
taken for granted, like the rains and
the seasons. Men have been clamor-
ing that their place is in the home,
and they are going. to show these
men what would happen if they took
them at their word. The telephone
girls, the cashier at the lunch room,
the worker in the factory, the girls
behind the counters, the stenograph-
ers, and the secretaries; all these
form cogs in the industrial wheels
which would wreck the machine if
they suddenly dropped out.
So the New York suffragists are
going to wrench the machinery by
dropping them out for day. All
women not in homes are to go on a
strike for twenty-four hours. Then,
they hope, men will realize that,
though they get along while their
home women, their wives, go on va
cations for month, they cannot get
along while the business women 20
on a strike for a single day.
Probably the men will capitulate.
Before noon on that fateful day
stock in the voting franchise will
have gone down. It will not be
nearly SO precious to males as it
now seems. They will be willing to
loosen their clutches.
Then will explode, like a gigantic
bubble, that old tradition, "woman's
place is in the home."

WAR.oRDER CHICKENS

1t frequently happens that the
shadow is much larger than the
reality, and that is the case with
rumors regarding tremendous "war
ORDERS" That contracts running
into many millions of dollars have
been received. we know; instances of
large contracts are to he found all
over the country; but large as these
contracts are and plentiful as they
are, there is seriods danger in the
temptation to exaggerate their size
and number.
From this a two-fold injury i'm
pends. Rumors that such and such
a concern has received . large order
from the allies-even that it will re-
ceive such an order-are sufficient to
send the stock in that concern sky
rocketing. A mania for speculation
ensues, investors rush to buy, and
when the war order is proved q myth
or q gross exaggeration some Of
them get caught.
This is one menace; but the second
is more serious. The war order
business is-or is supposed to be-
one OF large profits. 1t is a rush
business, where time is everything.
Naturally, in these circumstances,
labor expects it's share in the profits.
This expectation is reasonable and
has in many cases been recognized
by concerns which are busy filing
large orders. But suppose labor is
premature. Suppose it demands a
share Of profits resulting from en-
tirely or largely hypothetical orders.
Then trouble ensues. Employers can
not very well share non-existent
profits, and labor, going on the as
sumption that capital wants all the
windfall for itself, orders a strike,
The result is likely to be a loss to
all parties.
A little skepticism is a great anti
dote for irresponsible rumor. Let
US make sure of the order before we
begin to speculate on the profits.
