bread riots in New York claimed at
tention in the Senate during the de-
bate on the increases in salaries for
government clerks.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Col

ambassador there, again haS de-

prize ship Yalrowdalc.
Washington, ID. C.=President Will
son has practically decided to appear
before Congress prior to adjourn
ment March 4 to ask for additional
authority to protect American seaman
and ships against the German sub
marine menace.
While officials said today there was
a bare chance he would not carry out
his plan, every indication was that
he would make an address either late
this week or early next week.
The presidents position, as outlin-
ed authoritati lively to-day. is that
Congress before Adjournment should
pass broad resolution giving him
his authority. He has definitely decid-
ed what he will say to Congress s. Of
ficials generally expect that sooner or
later arms will be furnished TO Amer
lean ships.
In spite of the statement of the
British government that a very small
percentage of the vessels in the war
zone have been sunk by Ger an sub
marines, officials appointed out to-
day that most American vessels i'll

held up
1t was emphasized that 'NEon the
president appears before Congress he
will not do so for the purpose of ask
ing for declaration of war. While it is
realized that the pacilist element in
Congress has some strength. The pres
ident believes that wh'n act'on is
needed, there Will he little division
The president has decided not to
call an extra session, unless there
should be an emergency and il is
generally believed that he will not
call an extra session of Se"atc after
March s.
While reticence was o9ser ed In
the Austrian situation, offici today
believed that the status of the case
is still unsatisfactory. Ultimately it
is expected that a break in diploma-
tic relations will come unless Aus
tria changes her position.

Americans gathered in the neighbor

Want Safe Conducts.
Washington, ID. c. The German
government is informing the United
States through the Swiss government
that it will give every assistance pos
sible to the American consuls in Ger
many transferred to other posts At
the same time, Germany is under
stood to expect that the United States
will help German consuls in this
country to proceed to new posts, to
which they have been assigned.
Some time ago some of the Ger
man consuls in the United States
We're instructed to proceed to points
in Central and South America This
raised new issue, inasmuch as the
British and French governments had
promised safe conducts only to the
embassy and consular officials of
Germany in this country who would
return home.

there are many girls who yearn to

because of the strict notions of their
parents. The dance craze has been a
sorrow and a regret to this class of
maidens.
Most girls certainly look like fairies
floating around in tulle and soft laceS
in the graceful dance. But girls can
look quite as delightful on other oc-
caSiOns. Non-danCing clubs should be
started by energetic Independent girls
who know that dancing is not the only

It used to be when a young girl set
about to gather around her a number
of her friends for the seasons social
pleasures she would pick out those who
were cOngenial. Nowadays, her first
thought isis this one or that one a
good dancer? The girl who cannot
dance stands little chance of being In
viteJ.
1--WE have just the number that will
form so many SETS" they say, adding:
"Such girl is very sweet and nice.
She dresses well and looks pretty, yet
she would be a wallflower. She would
feel lonesome and mortified, not en-
joying herself. So why invite herr"
The same might be said of many
young man. He has a pleasing per-
sonality, is well liked, but il he doesn't
know the twO-step from the Highland
fling what's the use of inviting him to
an affair where dancing is to be the
chief amusement?
There ought to be affairs given for
those who don't dance as well as for
those who do. If this or that set is in
the habit of meeting two or three times
a week to trip the light fantastic toe,
why wouldn't it be just as we'll to de-
vote one evening to gather about one,
now and then, the friends who don't
dance? The young men ana certainly
the girls would appreciate 1t.
While it is healtEful and fine sport,
the craze can be carried to an ex-
IRENE. A girl may gather around her
f1ighty friends and exclude more
worthy ones that would stand her
more in need in years to come. There
are many girls of many kinds and

ually in love or if they wish to
be considered merely friends; what
cOurtShip is; how soon the young man
should pop the question, and who
should suggest that they might as well
be married at once az to wait, and SO
sorth.
| will try to reply in this article as
best l can to the queries of over a
thousand young wOmel-all on the
same subjects. A girl never really
loves. even knows she has a heart,
till she is conscious OF its loss. That
is the beginning of the tender passion.
If young man has fallen into the
habit of calling regularly, the natural
superstition is that he is interested in
the girl and finds more cOntentment
il her society than in that Of any 9TH
er girl upon whOrl he might call. The
man who is in earnest will lose no
time in explaining the object of his
visits to the young woiIanS family,
as we'll as to Overwhelmingly, that he
has found that he is fond of her and
that he would like to call for a stated
period to discover if they are mutually
attracted TO each other, and with the
intention of proposing marriage if all
IS favorable.
During this period. when no be-
trothal is pending. a young girl may
show her interest in the young man
by welcoming him cordially, not eff
fusively, when he comes, showing an
interest in his conversation, his home
folks and his employment, if he is
wont to speak Of it.
Until a man asks for a young wom-
ans hand in marriage and is accepted,
he has no right to expect to be enter
tanned exclusively by her. He has no
right to feel aggrieved If her family
comes in when he calls, aiding her in
making the evening pass pleasantly
for him.
Lastly, but by no means least, a
young man should not expect to have
his betrothed sweetheart wholly to
himself when he calls. He is expect
ing to take her all too soon from her
home folks. He should allow them to
enjoy her society with him to the very
last day. Girls who absorb all this
knowledge know all that 1 have been
able to discover by book or history
concerning the course of true love
and the cause Of its running smoothly
or otherwise.
