MRS ELTzAstrH 1HemQSoN

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 recently
broke up with d girl that l had been
going with for five or six months. tt
was really my fault, but l didn't see
my mistake until it was too late. There
is a fellow who is not on good terms
with me who would like to go with her
and I asked her not TO go with him.
She wrote me that l had no right to
say whom she could go with and she
said she didn't care to go with me any
more. | told her that was all to blame
and that l wouldn't care if it were
any other fellow. / have met her two
or three times since and she treats me
in a friendly way. l would like to go
with her again. What should | do2
Try to find some other girl or should
1 wait? There is no other girl whom
I think so much of as l do her.
WORRIED.
If were you I would not go with
the girl again. There was nothing
unusual or out Of place in asking her
not to go with a boy you'd like, and
she would have respected your wishes
if she had cared very much for you.
Find another girl.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Would you
please tell me the best way to remove
moles and freckles from my face?
FRECKLES.
MoIes should only be removed with
the electric needle. Any other way
IS exceedingly dangerous.
A freckle lotion which some find
good is made from two drains OF oxide
OF zinc. One-quarter dram of subiodide
of bismUth one and three-quarterS
drains of dextrin and one and a half
drains of glycerine.
Spread the paste upon the freckles
at night, before going 10 bed. In the
morning remove what still remains
with a little powdered boraX and al
mOnd oil.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a
boy who used to live here and while
he was here we went together. Then
his parents moved to another city and
he had to go too. He wrote to me
every day at first and then he didn't
write so often. / always answered his
letters, but now he has stopped writing
to me. / wrote and asked what ! had
done and he answered that letter and
said that / hadn't done anything, but
he was busy and couldn't find time to

LADY MOONS SECRETS
FOR 200 YEARS SHOWN
Astronomers Get Notable Work
by Yale Professor-Ad-
journ Tomorrow

The 65 scientists who have come to
Swarthmore from all over the United States
and from Japan and Holland are to end
their convention tomorrow night, when the
University of Pennsylvania will entertain
them at dinner in Houston Hall.
Visitors to the convention of the Amer
lean Astronomical Society, which Ia meet
ing in the Sproul laboratory at Swarthmore
College, have been surprised to find the
papers so lucid and easily understandable
instead of abstruse and decidedly technical
that they have stayed to listen in amaze
ment at some things they never even
dreamed Of
They found particular interest in some
new lunar tables which have just been
compiled, not because they could use them
themselves, but because the 65 experts
there assembled learned from Prof. Ernest
w Brown, of Yale University, that these
tables would serve astronomers for the next
200 years.
The volume represents seven years work
by Professor Brown and score of as
sistants and probably will take two years
more to complete. 1t is like a steamship
tours companys ticket, every detail
mapped out in advance" The moons
itinerary is ready.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-08-31

inent Democrat he has been selected by
the Democratic campaign committee to take
the stump for Mr.. Wilson.
THE present railroad condition that con-
fronts the people of the United States may
compel us to conclude that all were not
dreamers who considered that the time
would come when governmental control and
regulation would have to be exercised in
connection with public service corporations
engaged In interstate business" said Mr.
Logue.
THE necessity for legal authority to
control situation such as the present Is
apparent. Railroad work is public work.
and the management of the railroads, while
1t may seem for private advantage still Is
undertaking public duty"
MUST PROTECT THE PUBLIC.
Mr.. Logue said that the question is be-
yond either the employees or the managers
of the railroads, that the public must be
looked after, and for this reason there
should be some power to make 1t impossible
that the country should be disorganized
through ra lroad difficulties.
Mr.. Logue praised the President and
said that Mr.. Wilson could have done Moth
ing else than what he had already done
