aret dancer. who formerly was with

Hoagland inherited 100000 from

that established the Royal Baking

ried Grace L. Weir of Hartford, Conn,

SUGAR THE PRODUCT
OF DANISH ISLANDS

Washington, July PA department
Of commerce report on the trade of
the Danish West Indies, for whose
purchase the United States is negOtiat-
ing, shows sugar to be the principal
article of export and coal the princi-
pal commodity imported.
About 100000 worth Of sugar was
sent to the United States last year
from St. CroiX, the principal agricul-
tural island. The United States sends
about 100000 worth of coal to the
islands annually.
Rum worth S37 900 was produced on
st. Croix in 1914, but only small part
was exported to the United States.
Horses, mules and cattle valued at
more than 100000 were raised on the
island that year, but few were ex-
ported
The harbor of st. Thomas formerly
was the trading center for most of
the West Indies, but the esta blishment
of steamship lines and cable service
enabled merchants to deal directly
with manufacturers The result was
that the trade of that port now is linn
tied TO needs of adjacent islands.

ms ELTZ ABETL TLoHPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: | am mar
ried woman IS years old and l have
been married for FIVE years. My hus-
band drinks a good bit and l can't trust
him much l don't know whether he
will come home with his wages on
Saturday night or spend them else
where. We have had many a good
home. but we have not got any now
and | don't think he will do any bet
ter What would you advise me to do?
Should | leave him and go to work, or
try 10 live with him? There is another
man | have loved since l was 16 years
old He is a bachelor and he wants me
to go with him and leave my husband.
He says he would have married me
once. but he will never marry now.
Would you go with him? LEWIS.
If you have loved another man since
you were 16 you certainly have not
been true to your husband. Don't you
think that if you had been devoted to
him and tried with all your strength
TO help him break away from drink
ne might have been able to do so? He
is your husband and your duty is TO
him Sometime when he has not been
drinking and he is feeling penitent, ask
him to let you get his wages from the
place where he works so that he will
not be tempted TO drink because he
has a pocket full of money. If he does
consent, give him his share of the
money to 40 with as he wishes. If
you have enough to keep up your
share of expenses that is all you have
right to ask for.
If the other man loved you he would
marry you. 1t would be the most un-
wise thing you could do to leave your
husband in order to go with man
who tells you ahead of time that he
has no intention of marrying you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a young
man "A years old. l have gone with
several girls and invariably our friend
ship has been spoiled because they
take me seriously and think because l
like to be with them and occasionally
make love to them that l expect to
marry them. l don't want to get mar
ried, but l do want to have a girl and
a good time. l don't like to go with a
girl unless I can kiss her. You prob
ably think it is terrible for me to feel

that way, but ! tell you, Mrs. Thomp-
son, l am not an exception; all boys
feel that way Give me your honest
opinion, don't you think girls would
be happier if they did not take life and
love so seriously and would go into it
for the fun they could get out of it?
YOUNG MAN.
AS you grow older you will learn, and
probably from sad experience since
your views are such as they are, that
life means something deeper than to
have a good time. You have already, /
feel sure, sacrificed the ability to love
deeply and sacredly. The best things
in life do not come to you for nothing;
they cost effort and sacrifice. You
could have a girl friend and good
times if for mOmentary pleasure you
didn't spoil things by mixing in love,
or rather the symbols of love. Because
you profane the symbols is no reason
for you to think that girls are willing
to do the same. If you respect a girls
friendship enough to do your part hot
to prOfane it, there is no reason in the
world why you should not have friend
ship.
l believe that girls cannot take love
too seriously. 1t is too great a thing
to be considered in any other way.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
IS years old l have a young man
cousin who mad a friend from out of
town visiting him. The friend was
very handsome and l liked him better
than anyone l have ever known He
went with me while he was here and
he seemed to care a great deal for me.
He promised that he would write to
me when ne left, but he has been away
two weeks and haven't heard a word
from him. l could find out his address
from my cousin. Do you think it
would be all right for me to write first
and ask why he didn't keep his
promise? BROWN EYES.
Don't write to him. II he wants to
correspond with you he will write
