PHONE CALLS MAKE MYSTERY
OF AUTOMATIC SALE
Some one is tied up over the run
ming schedule of the automatic tele-
phone ordinance.
The Day Book has received several
telephone calls today to the effect
that employees of the Chicago Tunnel
Co. were each being paid one dollar
so they could have their supper down
town and crowd. into the gallery of
the city council chamber before z
p. m.
Secretary NockeIs of the Chicago
Federation of Labor said his Office
had received at least Is calls to the
same effect.
Each of the callers said the under
standing was that the automatic or
dinance would be called up tonight,
and that employees of the company
would be there to root for passage.
Aid. Sits, chairman of the council
committee on gas, oil and electric
light, said he had no intention of
calling the ordinance for passage. He
plans to make it a special order of
business for next Monday night, by
which time a decision is expected
from Judge Windes on the petition
for injunction against the sale, filed
by John Fitzpatrick
S. W. Tracy, vice president Of the
Chicago Tunnel Co., said he had
heard nothing about a concerted
effort to get employees to the council
meeting. He said that many might
be there, as the passage Of the ordi-
nance meant proIonging their jobs.
Tracy declared he understood the
ordinance would be called up before
the council, despite the statement
from Aid. Sits.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
Prudence and Prudery

suspicious of her because she does 1t.
He will persuade a girl to go to see
a problem play and then condemn her
because she went.
| No girl need ever be afraid that she
hurts herself in q mans opinion by
womanly reserve and dignity. He may
laugh at her bit for a little Puritan
| If she won't go to restaurants with
him without a chaperon, and If the
very suggestion of an off-colored story
but in his heart he respects her for 1t.
She is the kind of girl that he would
like his sister to be and that he hunts
up for himself when he marries.
If you will notice you will see that
the gay, brilliant, good fellow. much
admired belle of a season, who was a
connoisseur in mixed drinks and dou-
BILE entendre stories and an expert at
cards seldom marries as well as the
| shy little girl whose only attraction
was the white halo of her innocence,
and ignorance, and purity.
Another very practical argument
for maidenly reserve may be found
in the fact that mans leading passion
! is the passion for the chase, and that
the harder the thing is to get the more
he wants 1t and the more determined
h,> is to have it. No man cares to kiss
the lips that are within his reach. 1t
is the ones that are denied him for
which he hungers and thirsts and
which he spends his life trying to win.
No girl could have more potent
charm for men than to diffuse about
herself an Intangible atmosphere of
aloofness-of being guarded by a
maidenly delicacy that would take
alarm at the slightest approach to ia
miliarity.
Every man worthy of the name,
honors the girl who honors herself,
and If there are any others who are
driven away from her because she will
not permit liberties from them, she
should bless Heaven that danger has
been removed from her path. This
does not mean that she should be a
prude. She can be friendly without
being familiar, and she should never
forget that while every girl should be
peach, the ripest peach and the most
desired hangs highest on the tree.

She Was All Run Down and In Ter

Mrs. Josephine Weber, a popular

but none of them seemed to reach the
seat of my trouble. and I had about
decided that I would have to suffer for

BY DOROTHY DIX

A problem that confronts every girl
It some time or other is where to
draw the line between prudery and
prudence in her dealings with men
She doesn't want to be a prunes and
prisms sort of a girl, one of the kind
who Is always on the lookout for q
shock, and who takes hold of a mans
arm as If she would prefer to use the
tongs in touching it. She wants to be
tree, and frank, and fearless, and yet
her maidenliness shrinks from any
familiarity from one of the opposite
sex. and so the question of how to
maintain thus-far-and-no-f further at
,utude toward men becomes a very
difficult one for young and inexperi-
enced girl.
The difficulty is further enhanced
by the fact that every normal girl de-
sires to be admired and to receive at
dentions from men, and she sees that
the popular girls-the girls who have
hosts of beaux and are overrun with
invitations for theaters and parties
and every amusement-are the free
land-easy girls who permit little liber-
ties and in whose presence man does
not need to put much restraint upon
'either his tongue or his manners.
An older woman could tell such q
girl that she was taking a short view
of the subject and that while the fast
woman will always get the most serv-
fce, admiration and attention from
men. she is seldom the woman that
they marry. They like to be with her
when they want an hours amusement,
1or she is jolly and amusing and easy
ITO talk to, and they have to make no
effort to change their mental attitude
In her presence, but when a man
thinks of a woman as a companion
for a lifetime and not day, he wants
something better, purer, more WON
anly, and one for whom he has more
respect.
Men are cruelty inconsistent in their
dealings with women. They amuse
themselves with one type of woman,
and then they marry another. A man
will teach a girl to drink cocktails and
then refuse to marry her because she
does 1t. He will spend weeks per-
suading her to kiss him, and then be

Miss Fairfax Answers Queries
GIVE HIM A HEARING
Ry EEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax: Am eighteen,
and working as a cloak model. I have
been going about with a young man
six years my senior for two years. A
year and a half ago he ceased calling
because his parents were told I was a
model His sisters are not allowed to
even mention my name, although they
think the world of me. I have heard
from friends of his that he would like
to speak to me again. Do you think
that he repents his quick actions? He
knows that ] have numerous admirers,
and that of all of them combined
love him best. Do you think that is
why he is willing to apologize to me
How can ! win back his love, and
make him understand that. while we
were engaged, he should have stood
up for me. eve were engaged to be
married.) Mother tells me that ought
TO try to forget him.
ADELAIDE.
OF course. 1t would have been only
loyal and manly for your fiance to up
hold you to his parents. But you were
both SO young when the situation rose
that 1t is not surprising that he failed
to act with the mature judgment of a
man. Why not give him a chance to
retrieve himself? His parents were
not fair in their condemnation of you
but give them a chance, too. If he
and they fail you now, just put them
out of your life and start over.

Your mother is quite right. You are
far too young to be very much in any

at your age. Don't meet this boy

Sunday evening and the mercury

roads is very difficult. Stock men in
some places are beginning be ap-
p~ehensive. Hay in some localities is
as high as $18 per ton.
Some towns not located near mines
are getting short of coal and are
wiring orders to local mine operators.
Williston coal men find it difficult to
fill these orders promptly as it taxes
their hauling capacitv to supply the
city, which is estimated to be using
200 tons every "a hours
Trains, especially from the west,
are running three to "a hours late

The Royal Gwent Welsh Male Sing

up to the expectations Of their large
and appreciative audience. In solos,
duets, trios and choruses they gave
wide range of selections from pop
ular old favorites to the Hallelujah
Chorus that were so heartily applaud
ed that encores were given after many
numbers.
The brilliant work of the singers in
the ensemble and harmony Of their
chorus numbers is the most praise
worthy of their program.
The individual voices were also very
fine, especially that of Ben Jones, the
celebrated baritone. 1t is very diff
cult to give individual praise for all
were splendid voices and remarkably
strong, the volume produced was as
tonishing.
The old, old songs of forty years
ago, of which the singers gave the au-
dience several, made a distinct hit.

Johnnie Smoker never sounded so
charming as when sung by these gift
