BY HAROLD JOHNSON
Bill Klein cultivates two distinct
hobbies not INDUCED in by any other
big league umpire. Unless he has
his walking stick with him he doesn't
figure he is dressed up. Unless he
has his bag of golf sticks he wouldn't
think of starting out his season on
the National league circuit.
When out for a stroll his walking
stick is as necessary to Klem's prop
er enjoyment as is a leg to the ordi-
nary man. Golf has become a pas
sion with him. He knows far more
about the etiquette OF, the links than
the diamond, and no one can shout
fore" in more approved fashion.
Klein winters in Lakewood, N. J.,
among the tall pines and the high
brows. Lakewood is a most select

and secluded place, frequented by the
400 and miIliOnaires. Unkind ball
players, when dispIeased at some Of
Bills rulings, insist he must have
backed into the place on a freight,
or stolen into town under cover Of
darkness, but Bill says he doesn't
mind the idle chatter of the disgrun-
tied athletes.
Several times last summer I tried
to locate Klein at his hotel, but the
clerk always informed me that Bill,
with a party of friends had just left
for the links, to play Is holes and
that he would not be back until
evening, intending to go direct from
the links to the ball park.
When 1 managed to meet Klein in
Lakewood I had to do some cross
country work and catch up to him at

such pulpits at later date. The pur-
pose of this Association day" in Rock
Island is not to solicit subscriptions
or to raise money for the association
1t is to acquaint the people with the
work which is being done around the
world. Perhaps the most interesting
phase of the work just at this time is
that which is being conducted in the
war zones Of Europe. Not only has
the association made provision to send
its secretaries with the troops in the
trenches. but work is being carried
on in the prison camps in the hospi-
tails and in the training camps. The
speakers tomorrow will tell of the un-
usual endorsement which this work
has received at the hands of the rulers
of the nations at war. At the close of
the services, printed reports OF last
years work will be given out.
Tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock
these visiting secretaries will meet
with the local board of directors and
any interested members and spend an
hour together discussing the best
methods of association work This
meeting will adjourn at S o'clock, those
who care may go to the cafeteria where
fellowship supper will be served.
The remarkable progress OF the asso-
citation movement as world enterprise
as we'll as in the development of the
local work is story that ought TO be
heard by every friend of the associa-
ton

Dear Mrs. Thompson: % | have
heard it said, and by people who
should know, that a girl of IS is not
old enough to know her heart ana
mind. Is this true? Is she old enough
to be capable of loving seriously, or
would she be in love with love and
not with the man?
~ If the young man had loved her,
but now does not, or seems not to care
for her, what advice would you give?
Would the girl be likely to keep on
loving him all her life, or would she
get over it?
90 What would be the best way
for her to forget?
THANK YOU.
ID In most cases a girl of Is is
in love with love and not with the
man. Her tastes and character are
changing all the time and so she does
not know her mind.
90 If the man seems not to care
for her she should give him up with
as few regrets as possible. She can
not keep his love by force and so
she might as we'll passively submit
to his Indifference. A girl OF normal
health and intelligence would not be
apt to keep on loving man all her
! life when he does not reciprocate. In
time her love for him would die
go 1t is impossible to stop think
ing, but it is not impossible to
change your thoughts. The girl
should not allow her thoughts of the
man to dwell in her mind. When she
finds herself thinking of him she
| should find something to do and force
herself to keep her mind on some
thing else Exercise and work will
relieve her quicker than anything
else.
| Dear Mrs Thompson: I am a
married woman and have been for
two years or So My husband used
to love me, but l feel sure he does
not now. This is my second mar
riage and l have one child who is
living with me now. l have to help
make the living, and there are times
when he does not speak to me for
half a day. Can a man love his wife
and act that way? The only time he
talks to my child is when he can find
some fault with him. He doesn't
take any interest in my child, and he
has told his daughter that he doesn't
care to live with me. He told me
that he would give me my liberty at
any time l wanted it. He writes let
