Chinese Railway Lines
Increase Pay Shouting
Progress In Orient

Of all railways completed by 1909 for
five years of an increase in the pro-
portion of net revenue to total capital
from 4.6 per cent in 1909 to S.3 per
cent in 1918, certainly a remarkable
showing from short sections of incom-
plete systems.
On the administration end great
progress has been made despite the
unique conditions under which China's
railways are operated and were built
The English, Indian, Belgian, German,
Japanese and Chinese systems of ac-
counts, often changed from year to
year, has given way, through the eff
forts of a Central Government Com
mission of experienced railway ac
countants, to system of accounts and
statistics specially adapted to the
needs of the country. In bringing.
about this reform the services of Mr.
Henry G. Adams, the well-known Am
erican economist and statistical expert
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, were utiliped In addition to
these changes, though traffic arrange
nents have been made, and passenger
accommodations have been improved.
AS China's trade progress depends
to a large extent upon better means of
communications the financial success
OF her railway lines argues we'll for
tie future American capitalists will
here find field for safe, sound and
profitable investment.

DECIDE IN FUTURE THE
 ONE THAT'S INTENDED
Dear Miss I4ibbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 In my small, puzzling case your aid will be appreciated. Am past 16, pop ular with friends. Two young men, 1T and IS, I like most. My parents do not object to our attending church tor social places together. The first [ love; he never told he loved me ex- cept by mail and to my brother. Other I care not for. He tells he will love none but me Is one who conceals his love, or other soaking out plainly best for girl my age to go with? Am not allowed to bring company to the house He must go back soon as we reach home. Is this nice? Am to thank youth for bringing me home?

Al sigh too much or a kiss too long! Then comes to the heart a Ing'rin
 pain
 And life is never the same again
 It is the nature of youth to be gay. just as it is for youngs lambklns 10 frolic and young birdlings to sing tneT throats out in the sunshine, all heeo- less of a stormy tomorrow; TOT Ine clouds are lowering. Youth is not W.se enough to count the cause or an 1hols- erect thought, word or act.
 It is one of two things which lures many a, girl to her undoing-na1schleV ous girl friends who put the wrong notions in her head, or being orougnt in contact with 8 class of young men who have not the right respect TOT innocent young girls. The life Of de- serving young working girls is fraught with more danger, perhaps, than that of any other class. One bold g1fl friend can corrupt the morals or many with whom she is brought in contact. She boasts to the condding little g1rt who works at the same counter with her that she met such a nice young man the evening before, who took her to supper, then to the movies and to a dance later.
 The innocent one listens If I could only be introduced to some nice young man, she says, with a sigh. Intro duced''s the older girl laughs ironical- ly. We f1irted. It was case of a-d- miration with both of us at first sight, The younger girl follows the older one's example. She is led into street Irritation, which her employer, walking behind her, sees with much amazement and annoyance. It would hurt the reputation of his business to employ a girl who had so little re- speet for herself a4 to pick up an ac- quaintance on the street. She is called to. the office the next day and is se- lvereIy repriman It would have meant her discharge had not her en- ployer believed she had simply been fndiscreet. This being her first of fense, he was willing to give her 9 plained to her in all kindness, from a, mans point of view, that she was on the wrong track; that men had no re- spect whatever for one whom they be- came acquainted with on the streets. Their intentions were seldom or never honorable. That they do not care a whit if the reputation of the girl was theN man did not carry a guarantee whether he was married or single. and that the indiscreet4 girl who en- couraged his attentions might be playing with a serpent that would soon wind his coil about her, caus- ing her, while yet in her youth, to join the army of Nagdalenes on the fatal road from which few ever are saved.

CORNER FOR COOKS
CABBAGE SALAD.

Cabbagesy are plentiful and cheap. People who do not go in for the more expensive salads should try them, and those who have had plenty of lettuce, cumunber, romaine and other winter salads will relish the cabbage for a, change. This member of the mustard tribe is more easily digested raw than cooked unless the cooking be very deft1y done.
 Cabbage contains a violate oil, rich in hydrogen and sulphur, which is wasted in careless cooking.

NEW ENGLAND
 FORESTRY 60.
 IS A BANKRUPT I
Julius F. Frost, Arrested Here For Embezzlement,
 Is Member of Firm.

A sequel to the financial dificu1ties recently encountered by Julius H. Frost recently doing business in this city under the firm name of the New England Forestry Go, is seen to-day in the bankruptcy petition filed in the U. s. district court which throws the firm of Frost & Bartlett Go, of Stamford in bankruptcy with debts or $14, 6S0.47 and assets of $6350
 Though it is understood in this city that Francis A. Bartlett. of 570 Main street, Stamford, who is disclosed as the president of the Frost & Bartlett CO, has conducted the business alone Tor the last year, a chain of stores in which the two tree experts were i'm terested in this and other states will be effected. The Frost & Bartlett Co, did business in New Haven, Mid dletown, Conn, Hfcksville, L. l., Irv- ington- on-4udson. Newburg, Troy, N. Y. and Morristown, N. J.
 It will be recalled that the New England Forestry Go. located in the City National Bank building, 1924 Main street. closed as a result of the arrest several months ago of Julius Frost, who was appreh ended by detec- lives Bray and Dooley upon a Newark N. J. warrant charging Frost with ern- bezzlement. He was taken to that city by officers of the law but is under stood to have been later released from the charge.
 The company in Stamford did an immense business in the repairing of tr ees, filling cavities and guarantee ing prolonged life for the plants treated. The firm members were largely connected in a business way with the Yni1Iionaire's estates along the Sound giving expert advice, treat ing lawns, etc., and preventing the spread of disease in elm trees.
 None to-day knew the whereabouts of either partner. At the Stamford office it is said that Julius Frost has not been seen in, Stamford for the last year and that Bartlett is now sojourn- ing in Virginia
 Large sums of money are disclosed to have been loaned the concern by wealthy Stamford residents There are secured claims for $2,s46.19, unse-z cured claims of $11.554.7s. The stock on hand is only S1,30O.

HER IDEA NOT TO KISS,
 WILL WIN HIM
Dear Miss Iibbey-

DeaF MISS LdDDey:- We two girls are confused. Have parents object to her going at all with a boy, saying she is too young. She is IT. No Two's fellow seems not to care much for her. She likes him. If she is parting with him, he asks a kiss This she refuses. Do you sup pose this is why he doesn't like her better? Is her way proper? She is in despair as to giving him, up. Can she win him? Her idea is it's wrong to kiss. Please aid.
 W.s. N Girl (the second) is greatly to be admired. Men like modest girls best. Not allowing kisses is sure to win the right man.
