Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls and both are fairly good look
ing. one dark with dark brown curly
hair and the other a decided blond
with an excellent pink and white COM
plexjOn We have good education.
graduates from the high school in i
and are interested in sports Of all
kinds, we read great deal and both
are good dancers. We are both mem
bers Of the most prominent families
in our town. We dress as nice and
really better than most Of she girls in
cur set But we are not a bit popular
among the boys. / mean to have them
call on us. They seem TO like US when
ont in a crowd and pay lots Of atten-
ton to us. but never want to cali on
us One Of us nhe dark OneJ is quiet
and reserved. while the other is d roly-
poly, jolly, witty and cute sort of girl.
We had a friend OF ours ask her friend
why the boys did not seem TO like us,
and he said that the dark one was too
g00dy g0Ody' and expected too much
of boy, while he didn't think any
thing was the matter with the other.
I don't think that being "goody- g0ody
would keep the boys all away so ask
you 70 tell us what to do We are
quite disguised and discouraged The
p
and we don't think hey are q bit more
brilliant or better looking. than We
and VIE are not stuck up" or anything
like that Please tell us what is
wrong
THANK YOU
+ Il seems to me that you are q little
too self-cOnsci0us and eDdeaypriuE to
attract the boys too much. Just be
natural and at the same time try to
please the boys when you are out
with them. OF course they would
not want you to he what you term
+ 'goody- goody, but at the same time
+ do not try 70 act the rowdy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
constant readers OF your column, and
we wish 80 tell you what ne think o.
your advice. Some of it is very help
fuI. but there is quite a bit that is
not You state that a girl cheapens
herself by kissing a fellow We do
not think YOU ere right. A girl can

We have two Of the most respected
girls in town We always get q kiss

 The contention that the law is un- workable" Mr. Davis said, was "a manifest after thought induced by the necessities of this caucus" To the charge tffat the law is experimental, he said public clamor would have fol- lowed had congress attempted to fix an arbitrary eighthour day scale in perpetuity without possibility on change under future changed condi- tions.
 Tt may be congress did not please the railroads. the employees. or the pub- lie he concluded, but tho body that made the law should amend It and the Judiciary must not usurp that func- tion."
 Andrew Furuseth of the Inter- national Seamen's union. protested today to the senate commerce com mittee against enactment of the pro- posed railroad arbitration legislation to supplement the Adamson law. He said history shows that every effori In the past to deprive the worker of his right to quit employment ndi- vidually or collectively. has led to depopulation and decay Of the nation which tried it.
 President Wilson let if bc known today that he thinks the necessity for railroad legislation at the present session of congress- has been empha- sized by the failure of negotiations between epresentatives of the rail- eoad bsotheIhoodn apd their em- ployers.

 The inauguration tomorrow promis- es to be simple. It is to take place at noon, in joint session of house and senate. in the house chamber. The program includes the swearing in of the governor new justice of the supreme court. and the six other of ficers of the executive department who have not taken office.
 Whether Chief Justice Gabbert should swear in all these or whether he should proceed only so far as the new justice wno replaces Justice Gabtert. and whether Justice White, who then becomes chief justice. should swear in the remaining of ficers elect. had not been determined tonight.
 Further confusion was added to legislative proceedings. it was said tonight, by the Denver county con- test. Fifteen clerks now are examin- ing the ballots cast for representa- tives in the legislature and 1t is pro- posed to increase the force. It is hoped to finish about twenty ballot boxes, one from each precinct, a day. If this is done. the recount will be over in ten days

 Before this the witness had flown in to a passion when questioned by Repre- sentative Chiperfield about his book "Frenzied Finance"
 There were heated exchanges during which the word -four flusher" could be heard above the general din which in terrupted the record of the official stenographer Lawson, shaking his hand in Representative Chiperfield's s face, asserted that he knew his rights and would not be bulldozed- He finally was pulled into a chair by the chief clerk of the house. The cOlloquy with Representative Chiperfield and some of LawsOn's other remarks were expunged from the record.
 The examination then proceeded more quietly. Mir Lawson frequently asked 10 be excused from answering questions. but not until he had told am other story, at first hypothetically and then as a reporter related to him, to

 Detached Branches
 So far as was developed yesterday, there is no relation between the two houses of the legislature or between either of them and the executive branch of the government The usual committees appointed to wait upon the other house and the governor to dis seminate information of organization and readiness for business were not named. When the senate got ready to adjourn it adjourned and the house fol- lowed suit.
 Private Secretary Ladd of Governor Hunt was about the lobby and it was understood that he had some sort of a document or statement which would be represented to the legislature on re-

quest but no request was made. Gov ernor Campbell was also within strik- ing distance.
 What the legislature will do today is uncertain. It is probable that the or ganiZation of each house will be com pleted by the appointment of clerks and attaches and probably by the ap- pointment of standing committees It l is the belief of most of the members who have been seen that there will be an adjournment from day to day until the supreme court has announced a de- cision in the Campbell Hunt mandamus | proceedings. It is assumed by mem bers that the announcement will not be l long delayed. If however, fl should be, i two programs have been suggested. One ] is to adjourn to a time far enough in 1 the future when a governor shall have been fully established. and the other is to endeavor to secure the recognition of | Governor Campbell by ma jority vote in each house and to proceed to bus | mess.
