Railroad freight officials are of the

Railway Association on National De-
Tense has solved the car shortage
problem, so far as the future is con-
cerned. Rules have been promulgated
by J. A. Gordon, general manager,
and G. A. Brown, superintendent, and
approved by tie committee.
The rules provide that wherever
cars are found. either loaded or
empty, they shall Immediately be
started toward home, instead of be-
ing diverted; that if held to be loaded,
they shall be routed toward home at
the earliest possible date; that cars in
every instance must be delivered to
the road from which received, or to q
direct connection of the home road.
Heavy penalties are provided for
all failures to obey the instructions

Can real knowledge ever be HARM
full? Is it possible that state Of
happy ignorance is good for anyone?
Can it ever be true that Where ig-
norance is bliss, It's folly to be wiser"
All these questions are suggested
by letter from one OF my girls who
signs herself Constant Reader"
Here is her problem:
rs not too much knowledge re-
garding sex as bad as none at all?
am a girl not yet out OF my teens,
and have been told a great many
things concerning marriage and
motLerhood--a few by my parents,
the majority by my girl friends. !
feel that had not been told so much
life would seem pleasanter and more
enjoyable. As | have not much to
occupy my mind, these thoughts come
to me frequently. Are there others
like me, or am | Just a silly girl max
ing much ado about nothing?'
The difficulty with this girl and
with many others Ike her lies in one
of three things: Either her own ma
ture is morbid and inclined to>brood-
ing, or her knowledge, instead of be-
ing too great, is not great enough, or
she has a cowardly desire to shirk
the responsibilities Of life.
Childhood is beautifully innocent
period-or should be. But once 1t is
past, no one may hope to escape
knowledge of life's basic facts. The
greatest responsibility and the most
sacred privilege in all the world is
motherhood. 1t isn't an irresponsible
affair to be entered upon with the
same amount Of preparation one
needs for playing with-dolls-but il
is the y" important career in all
the world; !. belongs to a woman by
mere right of her being woman and
she needs knowledge and preparation
in order properly to undertake it.
There is no reason why girl in
the latter part of her teens should not
know Of life's responsibilities. But
she should know them as beautiful
sacred things to be revered, rather
than as puzzling and startling things
to be considered and ,speculated about
morbidly. innocence, is no protection
to you in our modern social condi.
tons. C.e needs knowledge, and re,
spect for that knowledge.
OF course, there has been in re-
cent years a certain neurotic over
emphasis on sex which has done ar
incalculable amount Of harm. The
| wrong sort of moving picture, thu
cheaply lurid problem play and thu
sensational novel have all had bat
effect. And the humorist who sale

May Fete Abandoned.

The weather man is not popular
with Unitarian women, whose lovely
May fete plans for Friday are aban-
doned for the present because OF the
rainy week.
"He must have grown peevish with
US because we did not ask him to
serve on our committee; like the thir-
teenth fairy, who wasn't hidden to
the feast% said Mrs. w. F, Baxter,
But the rain has not effectually
dampened the ardor of the local
women for an outdoor, dance fete.
They will try to persuade Miss Por-
tia SWEET, chief dancer, who came
especially for the May fete at the
Joslyn gardens, to return some time
in June to hold the fete, which is a
Unitarian church benefit. 1t was first
planned for Wednesday, but was post
poned. Miss SWEET leaves today for
her Colorado camp.

truths which humor often embodies.
But morbid, self-eonscious tidal
wave cannot be held back by any but
strong sea wall of real knowledge.
Since there is all about us the type
of thing which satisfies, and caters to
morbid curiosity we need read knowl-
edge with which TO conquer the
faults.
When a girl is miserably unhappy
about her knowledge of the facts OF
life. either they have not been told
to her beautifully, simply and rever-
entity OF else she herself has father
a coarse streak in her nature.
The duty of parents is clearly and
distinctly to make sure that their
children have respectful knowledge
of the prime facts of life and are
saved from half ashamed wonder and
curiosity about them. And the duty
of children is to keep their own atti-
tude sweet and wholesome and clean
and pure. After all, our attitudes are
ours to control or not to control as
we choose.
If all me girls who are worried over
the things they fancy they know will
just quietly ask themselves whether
the fau'l lies with facts or their own
distorted view Of them. think they
can readily work out for themselves a
happier and saner and less impudent.
ly critical attitude toward the world
which is controlled and arranged by
powers too big and too fine for their
half XII ,wledge to appreciate.
All OF us need knowledge. All Of
us are badly off unless we have real
light on life and its problems. And
none of us need fear anything but
our own ignorance of those sacred
things which could not fail to seem
beautiful if we really understood
them.
