gone with a few girls in my
life, and have had a little ex-

that out of all the girls l
have gone with, the ones

the greatest respect for now.
believe that most men
will agree with me when I
say that a man can, with a
few exceptions, tell before he
attempts to kiss a girl wheth-
er he will succeed or not.
Some girls have the air of al
ways wanting to be kissed.
while others have the sub
conscious attraction, which

Perhaps l am wrong, but
believe that nine cases out of
ten, the girl who keeps her
mind above such trivial
things, will not have to won

man has forgotten her, but
when in the fullness of time
she does bestow that privi-
lege, 1t will not be to one who

one who will love her i'm

Dear Miss Grey; To many
young girls the Miss 16 ques-
ton on kissing is q serious
problem. Some boys expect
entirely too many privileges
when taking a girl out. A
girl doesn't like to offend or
be thought a prude, and most
men when asked their opinion
on the question will say he
thinks it perfectly proper, If
a man Is honorable or sim
cere. They always think they
are the particular party. but
they would not like 70 think
that this same little girl
would allow any other man
such privileges, no matter
how good he might be, so why
should he expect such favors
unless engaged?
Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" Girls are naturally
affectionate and crave love,
sympathy and admiration and
IL innocent and unsophistica-
ted are apt to think when a
man tries to caress them, that
he is In love with them. when
he is only trying to satisfy
his curiosity and conceit, to
see how 1t takes.
Men are adopts in the art
of flattery, kissing and love
making, many of them have
the habit of making love to
every girl they meet (some-
times they are married men)
but the girl does not always
know this. At best 1t is a
pastime and often leads to
temptation and disaster. Men
seldom marry the girl that
they can slop over and who
has been kissed by Tom, Dick,
and Harry.
Be sparing of your kisses,
until the right Mr.. Wright
comes along, they will be ap-
preciated more. There Is not
a woman on earth with whom
an honorable man would be
less inclined to take liberties
than the one he really loves.

Railways Earned Less
Than 6 Per Cent in 1916

the rate OF return for thesyear was

"As long as the earnings OF the
roads do not exceed per cent they
can hardly be charged with making

it is known that the operating ex-
penses necessary to handle the alb

The billion-dollar net operating in
come Of the railways of the United
States in the calendar year 1916. in
spite OF the fact that 1t breaks all
previous records, represents a return
on the property investment Of less
than per cent, says the Railway
Age Gazette, in an editorial in its cur
rent issue.
The Railway Age Gazette says:
''The fact that both the gross and
net earnings of the railways Of the
United States in 1916 have been
greater than for any other year in
their history. is being given wide
publicity, and some railway officers
who have been worrying about poor
earnings for a long time are now con-
cerned for fear that their present big
earnings will be taken by the public
as an indication OF a permanent con-
ditiOn and that II may lead TO new at
lacks on them in the way OF demands
for reductions in rates or require
ments that will cause permanent in
creases in their expenses. Some anti
railroad agitators are already
selling the opportunity thus present
ed, but they would be less liable to
succeed if everybody who reads the
figures could be made to understand
their true significance and the fact
that they represent abnormal cOndi-
tons When stated in terms Of the

garnered by some industries as re
suit Of the conditions created by the
war While the earnings have been
growing, the amount Of capital neces-
arily invested in the business has
been growing also.
I'm the issue OF September %, we
published an estimate that the earn
ings for the fiscal year ending on
June 80. represented a return of 5.6
per cent. on the investment and later
available figures confirm the result.
For the calendar year an estimate

Economics from the official returns

with what IL known as to the trend

NAMES HIS PET AvERSI0NS
Physician Pretty Well Covers Every
thing in Making the Following
Fervent Prayer.

Doctors, 1t appears, do sometimes re-
sort to prayer, according to the Medi-
cal Times. But, since such communities
tons are usually strictly confidential
in character, they are seldom recorded
(here below, at least,) although they
undoubtedly express the innermost
yearnings of the s~upplicant's soul. A
certain Doctor Jacobson has recently
and openly, prayed to be delivered
from the following things:
Health insurance; from deadbeats
from the neurasthenic who keeps q
diary; from the birth-control crank
and other professional sociologists
from the writer's of unneeded text
books; from drug fiends; from the
young married who Is not
strong enough to bear a child from
obese pigs who won't diet as direct
ed; and from night calls. Also, from
fool legislation from food cranks who
tell us how to live for ten days or
S1.10; from socialistic health boards
from half-baked specialists from New
Thoughtists; from seekers after false
certificates of Illness; from moribunC
journals. thlrd-rate journals, and freak
sex journals.

The State of Illinois under the lead
of Governor Lowden is putting into
effect an interesting experiment in
administrative government. More than
a hundred small boards and commits
sions which have been dealing with
various activities of state administra-
ton have beer abolished and in their
place only nine department have been
set up. These new departments will
coordinate the work hitherto done by
their numerous predecessors, they are
expected to work in a larger spirit of
cooperation with each other than the
old boards did, and the general hope
is that Illinois will secure a wider de-
gree of administrative efficiency at
less cost than under the former sys-
EN-. The federal government is pur-
suing just the opposite course. The
favorite sport at Washington these
days is the creation of new boards and
commissions. 1t is getting so that no
one can propose the purchase of even
the smallest of commodities for war
use without first of all to the
establishment of a commission to take
a survey or censu of the industry
involved, without ascertaining how
much of the material, raw and finish
ed, is on hand or in sight, what the
conditions are at the source of supply,
and, with much loss of time and in
cidental expense. amassing a lot of
useless information. All this in con-
trary to the spirit in which Governor
Lowden is undertaking to carry out
his trust in Illinois. 1t may not be
wholly explained by saying that Gov
Lowden is a Republican, while
the ruling classes at Washington are
Democrats; but there is at least a sug-
gestion in the fact.

The steam and gases which arise
from the sticky mud form them

finally exploding with a loud crash.

Representatives John Q. Tilson, of
Connecticut, has just returned to
Washington from a visit to his home
city of New Haven. While there he
was greatly impressed with the pa
triotic activity manifested on every
hand. He reports that the city has
furnished already nearly all of its
quota of the 500. 900, 900 desired by
the Red Cross, and that n of the
youngest manufacturing concerns in
the city has subscribed to $1,000, 900
worth of liberty bonds. What impress
ed Mr.. Tilson most, however, was the
$500 subscription made by the Grand
Army post at New Haven. To Mr..
Tilson it is most inspiring to see the
men who fought to preserve the Union
more than so years ago, now investing
their limited post funds ito aid the
government they risked their lives to
save in the days of their youth"
