Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are four
chums, our ages ranging from IA to
Is.
"a Is a girl of Is too young to
wear her hair done up with ribbon
around and a bow in front?
81 Is it proper for a girl of Is to
go to party at night with boy? How
late should they stay?
90 One Of US is in love with a
young man 20 years of age, but her
mother does not approve of him.
What can she do to gain her consent
and his love?
"a There is a boy in our neigh
borhoOd who is IA years of age, but
he is in the eighth grade and l am in
the first year of high school. Would it
be all right for me to go with him?
90 What is a simple home rem
edy to cure pimples.
90 Is it proper for a girl to an
swer a boys whistle?
PEGGY, BILLY, BOBBY & MIBS.
% A small girl of Is looks too
young to do up her hair. 1t would be
all right for girl to go to neigh
borhood party with a boy at night, but
not to any other kind. Eleven o'clock
is late enough to stay.
go with a boy unless her mother ap-
proves of him, in fact she is too young
to go with him at all
"a 1t will be all right for you to
have him for a neighborhood friend.
You are too young to go with a boy.
% Pimples are very hard to get
rid of and there is no simple remedy.
Don't eat candy or rich food, and see
that your blood is in good condition.
A treatment which has been found
by many to be good begins by wash
ing the face with liquid green soap
and a face brush. Then an appiica-
tionof paste made from flowers of
sulphur and camphor spirits is
smeared over the face and allowed to
stay on all night, being washed of
in the morning. Then after the face
has been washed, wipe it over with
glycerine. The latter may be omitted
if desired, but it is a good thing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My chum
has been going with a boy for some
time and now he doesn't want to go
with her any more and has asked me
to keep steady company with him
never thought that he would go with

President Remains Firm.
President Wilson holds firmly to ar
bitratiOn as a principle in the present
controversy. He has so informed
George Pope. president of the National
Manufacturers association, in re-
spouse to a Geographic appeal from
the latter that the principle of arbi-
tratlon be preserved in the strike ne
goiations. The road officials have con-
tended that the principle of arbitra-
ton would be endangered by his plan
of settlement. The president, however,
declares that his plan strengthened
rather than weakened it.
President Wilson had before him to-
day numerous kilograms from business
men and trade bodies urging that he
insist on arbitration. 1t was said Off
cially, however. that the appeals would
be without effect on him since he had
failed to bring about arbitration and
had no way of forcing it.
The mems meeting decided that
brotherhood members should call upon
senator's and representatives from
their own states and acquaint them
with the details of the mems side OF
the situation President Carter of the
engineers was the only official who at
tended the session.
Some OF the incoming railway presi-
dents were more optimistic about the
situation than those already here. One
OF the western men declared that ii his
road alone were involved he unques-
uonabiy would resist the demands of
the men to the last but he considered
the question national one and for
that reason was sure some common
ground would be found TO base a
settlement

PROVES POPULAR
Sunday Programs Enjoyed BY Large
CrOWds-Grand Opera Singers
Hit With Their Numbers.

Liberati's band. one of the most
popular Of the various musical organ
izations heard in the tri-cities in re
cent years, opened a five-day engage
ment at the Watch Tower yesterday,
giving afternoon and evening pro-
grams, which were enjoyed by sew
eral thousand people. There are 30
members of the band, which is aug
mented IS vocalists, several of whom
have international regulations as ar
fists. While popular music is not neg
lected, Liberati leans towards the clas-
sizes, in which he adheres strictly to
the Interpretation of the masters, with
the result that his programs are es-
pecialIy appealing to students of the
better things in music. Selections
from various grand operas are given
by the singers, with the band playing
the accomplishments. There are also
solo numbers, both instrumental and
vocal, as features of each program.
Liberati's engagement will be the big
open ear musical treat of the tri-city
season, and doubtless there will be
large crowds to hear the remaining
four days. Concerts will be given
every afternoon and evening. Here is
the program for tonight:

President Wilson.


The Democratic party goes befor
the American people with a candi
date whose wisdom and ability in
period of unparalleled storm anc
stress entitle him to support in thu
name of a patriotism which dwarfs
all narrow partisanship. His rec
ord of achievement has won the
applause of his friends, the ad.
miration of his political foes, and
the gratitude of the nation at large.
He has given the country a cur
rency system which on the eve of
universal upheaval enabled finance
and industry to stand mistaken.
What the conditions would have
been under republican rule may
easily be imagined by reading the
diaster of 1907. He has proven
himself better pilot in a storm
than the Republicans in an era of
profound tranquility.
Under his guidance a Democratic
Congress has written upon the
statute books a tariff law which
has brought prosperity to every
class of the American people. The
familiar shibboleths of the Old
Guard, the prophecies of impending
have become the butt of
and derision in the light of
cold facts. The noisy forecasts of
evil are drowned in the song of the
harvest and the hum of the loom.
He has passed unscathed thru a
crisis in international affairs that
would have scared the soul and
paralyzed the mind of weaker
character. Charged with the well
fare of hundred million people, |
whose destiny was exposed to all the
cross currents which blew from the
earth's four corners, he has main
5ainod peace while giving the world
1 new and inspiring vision of the
moral granduer of the nation,
Jealous of its honor, but devoted to
5he interests of mankind.
In the highest sense he is the
embodiment of a splendid Amer
canism. The best traditions of the
republic are wrought into the very
fibre of his being. He loves peace
veil enough to fight for it, if need
De. He has made it doubly clear
o all the nations of The New and
Did World that the United States
,ovets nothing which is not legiti-
nately. its own. In trying ordeals
lie has shown that the American
people ask nothing and concede
except to work out their
'wn destiny under the free institu-
ions which are their peculiar her.
