RIGHT ONE TO BE
 HER ACQUAINTANCE

H. c. writes: "I ask aid. Frequent iy l see a young lady whom I would like very much to meet.

Never SC her at dances or parties. How can l gain her honorable acquaintance :? Thanks for advice"
 Greatly admire your worth Hon orable acquaintance is better than gold. Firtations end in penalties to be paid and failures in true love- She is certainly member of some church, Sunday school or young folks club. At these places, state honorable intentions and ask some one in charge if she will grant you an introduction. Alls we'll that ends well.

It is pitifuT and unnecessary to cause such woe. Honest talk with each is best, if possible. Unwise it is to allow such stings to enter the heart. Trust in God. All knowing you will not heed any hearsays. Not listening, nor grieving, forget. You will thus come out victorious. The right one will seek to wed your daughter, giv- ing her happy future.

 tiOns.

The new Famous Players photo drama, "The Innocent Lie," by Lois Zellner, with Miss Valentine Grant. the sweet little screen star, as Nora O'Brien, will appear at the Gem theatre Thursday, matinee and night. The exquisite exterior scenes were plcturlzed on the island of Bermuda. where Miss Grant and a we'll selected cast under the leadership of Director Sidney Olcott had gone expressly for this production.
 Nora O'Brien, who arrives in Amer lea with the intent of finding her brother and delivering a not for a friend of hers, is injured in a street brawl. Believing her to be the ex- pected relative of the family ad- dressed in the note, she is conveyed to them. The Winters, not having ever seen their little Irish cousin, well come her as their own.
 Mrs. Winters and her two sons, Teddy and Egan, are attentive to Cousin Nora, who persists in her plea that she is not their cousin. Thinking that the injury had affected her mind, all her protests go un- needed. After while Nora becomes accustomed to her enjoyable surround ings and rejoices in the fact that her identity remains only in the unfot- gotten past.

 Women are taking an active inter- est in organized fre-prevention work. In our own state Miss Mary McCabe, for instance, is doing much. Miss Bessie Street Coburn is doing fine work in Mississippi. Over in Tennes- see Miss Bessie R. Murphy, director of the Women's Department of the Farm Development Bureau at Mem phis, has formulated set of rules for the women of Tennessee on what to do in case of fire and personal burns. They are so good that they ought to be clipped and posted con veniently in every home in Arkansas. Here they are:
 What to do.
 1. Every dwelling should be pro- vided with some ready means of quickly eXtinguishing fire.
 ?. Keep cool yourself before trying to cool the flames" All fires unless caused by explosions are small at the beginning and usually can be put out with the simple means at hand.
 3. Remember to shut off air from a blaze as quickly as possible. Very often a fire will die of its own accord if shut away from the air. Never per init an opening into room where a fire is burning, except one necessary to fight through. Never run from a fire and leave a door open behind you. The less air a fire has the slower it will burn.
 i. Do not attempt to eXtinguish flaming window curtains or clothing with the bare hands. Smother the blaze with a blanket or rug or any thing available to protect the hands. Women should never attempt to stamp out a blaze, as there is great danger of their clothing catching fire If exposed to smoke or flame wet a towel or piece of clothing and stuff it in the mouth Breathe through it, in- stead of through the nose, and thus keep the smoke and heat from the lungs Do not scream.
 ,. Always remember that smoke or
