LITTLE THROBS
I H A 7 FL N D
SYMPATHETIC
R E S P o N S E
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: work in an
office where there are three other girls
employed. l am 81 years Of age. The
assistant manager is always advising
me when and what to do, as II he took
an interest in me. He also does little
favors for me. have grown to like
him to such an extent that when l am
idle at all can't get him off my mind.
He Is about 81 years old and his wife
has been dead five or six years. Do
you think ! will get over this? knit
and do other things to occupy my mind
but it doesn't seem to do any good. Do
You think he cares for me?
Boise, Ida ADELE
You can stop thinking about the as
sistant manager If you will. To do so
you will have to put him out of your
mind by force when you start thinking
about him. Probably the trouble is
that you enjoy dreaming about him
and so instead of forcing yourself to
think about something else you humor
and weaken yourself by letting your
| thoughts master you instead Of you
them.
Find something to command your
attention-a good book or an interest
ing study. knitting can be done with
out giving it much attention and so
your thoughts have q chance to be very
active.
| If the man loved you he would tell
you so or at least show his interest
| by taking you places and calling at
your home. You have no reason to
baf ha
| YOU than to train you SO that you can
do good work for your employer.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: az Is It
right for a girl OF IA to be out with
a young man till midnight?
(2) Is 1t right for girl OF II to go
to parties without a chaperon?
(3) Is it right for a girl of IA to
write to soldiers?
t4 If man asks to take three
girls home in his auto, should they
go?
t5) II girl is with her parents
and a strange man asks to take all
of them home, should she go?
| (6) Should girl call up and find
out how a boy is when she has heard
that he is sick?
INQUISITIVE BUMPS.
(D No, 1t Is not right.
(2) 1t is all right for girl Of II
to go 50 neighborhood parties with
out chaperon, but not to dances and
such affairs.
(3) She is too young to write to SOL
diers unless they are relatives.
4) They should not go unless they
know the man.
(O If girl Is with her parents
and they accept strange mans in
vitation to ride with shim, 1t is all
right to do so.
co. If she and the boy are very we'll
acquainted it would be all right to do
so. She should, however, be careful
not to phone at mealtime or when she
thinks her call will be an annoyance

DEATHS AMONG CHILDREN

n REPORT issued by the committee on public nforma-
M ton says that babys chance of life is strongly af
fected by environment and grows less the fathers
earnings grow smaller The chldrens bureau studies of
infant mortality made among 900 babies in eight
American cities-Johnstown, Pa Montclair N j.; Man
chester, N H.; Brockton, Mass; Saginaw, Mich; New
Bedford Mass; Waterbury, Conn. and Akron, o. One
fourth of all the fathers earned less than $3.50 year. In
such families every sixth baby died.
About one-eighth of the fathers earned $1,000 more
and only one in sixteen of their babies died 1t de-
cared that the rise Of prices and the dsorganzaton of
social and industrial fe because of the war; accentuate
the Importance of this persistent relation of income to
FAINT mortality
It old story that where the mothers have to work
to help make enough for the family to ve the death rate
of children is increased Frequently babies left at
home with children only slightly older Their habits are
irregular and they receive little care
Where the child has fair chance the mother must
main at home and take of it. In Manchester, N H.
nearly three-fourths of the mothers whose husbands
earned less than $3.50 year were ganfully employed.
The babies of the mothers who went out to work died
twice rapidly those where fathers made sufficient
amount to give mother chance to remain at home.
There is law in some states that permits the Of
certain funds to enable mothers to remain at home and
take care of their children In some communities the
house rent of widowed mothers is paid from this fund and
something extra given them to help take of the chill
dren Charitable organization officials arrange whenever
possible for the mothers to have work to do at home
In this state the thought has always been to keep
mother and child together and in many counties the boards
Of chdrens guardians bending their efforts to this
end rather than toward the removal of children from
families and the placing Of them in public institutions
The modern thought is to keep the child at home and

White Flower awakened and played

The president has called for vol

authorized way for volunteers to
respond is by enisting in the National
Guard, regular army, navy or marine
corps.
ut is praiseworthy for civilians to
talk about raising regiments to offer

advertising for them. But the Omaha

The total bank deposits on May |

previous call. The gain over year
ago, however, was very large, over
$40,000,00O.
Every one of the South Side banks,
both national and state, showed
marked increases. In Omaha proper
the Merchants National, State Bank
of Omaha, Corn Exchange National

slight gains. The larger Omaha banks
fell down little. Every institution

increase over year ago.

Held as Suspect in the
KiIIinu of Policeman

+, !, Curtis, who had two revolvers
on his hips and $40 in his pockets
when arrested at North Platte April
70, is held by local police as sus-
pet in the murder April "a of Patrol
wan George H. Connery Of Minneap-
oils.
Captain Maloney of the detective
bureau has forwarded to Minneapolis
Curtis picture and his Bertillon meas
urements.
Patrolman Connery was murdered
by two men whom he tried to arrest
for speeding. The men drew guns
on the officer, ordered him to get into
the machine, which was stolen, and
abducted him to the outskirts of the
city. There his body was found, bull
let-ridden, the next day.
Curtis was brought to Omaha from
North Platte because he confessed to
the theft of $500 worth of women's
clothing from the home of Miss Belle
Van Antwerp of Claremont Inn. He
later retracted this confession, stating
that he had implicated himself in the
robbery to avoid standing trial in
North Platte on the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons.
