To Conduct Oneself at Party

4" me EdtOr OF Woman s PAGE.
Dear Madam-wiu you kindly give me Soma
OF your helpful advice as to how / should CON
duct myself at an informal dance?
CO., ~ When asked by Young man If he may sc-
eepteed? eetedd?Py you no" should his invitation be ac-
(2) When asked to dance lust what should
one say, and should It be said before or after
(3) 1t is very hard for me to carry on conver-
sation with a new acquaintance, although al
school ] get high ,ayerages in English and read
self-conhdence? ANXIOUS
G) Be very simple in answering a note
if the young man has written and asked
you to let him take you. Just write a short
note something like this:
MY Dear Mr. ---: will be very glad
to have you call for me TO take me to Mrs.
IS dance on Thursday night, and will
be ready about half-after s. Until then re-
main very sincerely,
OF course, If it is not a note and the
young man just asks you If he may stop for
you, you have only to answer Yes, that
will be very nice. I'll be ready at about
half-past s."
(2) Accept the invitation to dance with
a smile, and yes. / would like 10 very
much" and when the dance is finished tell
your partner you enjoyed it. Do not arrange
any sentences beforehand. 1t Is apt to make
you stiff and self-conscious
C3) Conversation is a thing apart fron,
high averages at school, but the reading Of
good books is a great help, as it gives YOU
a vocabulary, Read up local plays and dis
cuss them as well as the books which are
generally read these days and discuss the
characters in the plays or books One can
always talk OF the war, too. 1t Is well not
to appear to know too much about your sub
ject and with little tact you can make the
other person talk Of things which interest
him or her and unconsciously you will be-
come interested and lose your lf-conscious-
ness

Early Adjournment
is Predicted
LEGISLATURE IS RUSHING ITS WORK
Bill Allowing Removal OF SheriffS And PrOsecut-
ing Attorneys Passes House

Boise, Idaho, Feb. S.-The
passage of important admins
tration bills today by the house
of representatives was said on
excellent authority to be the signs
forecasting an early adjournment
of the legislature. A 5O-day ses-
sion may be the limit, and the
wheels of both houses may be
expected to move rapidly from
now on.
The house passed the Hussman
Goehry administration bill, seek
ing to clothe the public utilities
commission with power to super
wise the issuance of stocks, bonds,
and other securities by public
utilities under its jurisdiction, by
a vote of 48 to 13, almost with
cut debate.
Party lines were again drawn
when the bill to empower the gov
ernor to remove sherifs and
prosecuting attorneys who fail to
enforce the prohibition law was
passed. Johnson of Bingham
wanted to send the bill to the
committee of the whole for
amendment and Driscoll and
Young supported him. Johnson
stated frankly he was not in fav-
OF of the kind of legislation pro-
posed and that he would not sup
port it even after amendment, but
he wanted to strengthen it new
ertheless. Young declared it
was not what the anti-saloon
league, thew. C. T. u. or the peo-
pie wanted and expressed his re-
gret party lines had been drawn
over a moral issue.
Moody moved the previous
question and on the roll call the
bill passed by a vote Of SO to A.
the democrats voting for and the
republicans against except in q
few instances.
The house passed the Ander-
son measure, house bill No. 1874
requiring heads of state institu-
tions to make monthly report.

tutions they are executives of &,

Timber Crew
On A Strike
RUTLEDGE COMPANY'S Men GO OUT
TeamsteTs Charged With Board On Sundays And
Whole Crew Quits

There was another strike
among the men working in the
woods yesterday. The trouble
was at the Rutledge Timber COM
pany's camp near Fernwood. All
of the men in the camp, num-
bering about 40, quit work.
The trouble arose over the pay
for board. 1t has been the prac-
tice to pay the men for their
work and charge them certain
sum per day for their board. All
Of the men with the exception
of the teamsters have been
charged for board for each day in
camp but the teamsters, having
their horses to care for, we're not
charged for board on Sundays
when no work was done.
The company changed this rule
and required the teamsters to pay
for their board on Sundays the
same as the other men and when
they were informed of the new
ruling the teamsters all quit.
The other men sided with the
teamsters and all quit, about one
hundred Of them coming to this
city Thursday evening.
The company has made no an
nouncement of what it intends to
do but it is thought that it is so
near the time they would close
down anyway on account of the
weather conditions that no at
tempt will be made to resume op-
erations at this time but the camp
will be closed permanently.
The loggers are all looking for
labor trouble when logging op-
erations open in earnest next
summer and so we're not very
much surprised by the strike at
this time although they hardly
expected one to occur until more
camps we're in operation and the
demand for men was greater.
