@. My sister is secretly en-
gagged to a man Of question
able character. Three or four
evenings out of the week Is
spent with different girls at
their apartments. He tells
my sister everything and says
he cannot stop altho he knows
it is radically wrong. He has
always acted gentlemanly to
my sister because he knows
that she would not stand for
anything else. He has con-
WINGED her that she could do
him all the good in the world
If she would only marry him.
They are both 81 and love
each other dearly. Do you
think it would be advisable
for her to trust that he would
change later when he hasn't
enough will power to do so
now?

A.-Never. II your sister
hasn't enough influence over the
man to reform him now, she car
scarcely expect to after she Is
bound to him by the marriage
ceremony. Too many people
both men and women, have the
erroneous idea that marriage
ceremony Is some sort of magic
that will perform miracles ani
blend two inharmonious tempera
ments into perfect unison. Alas
but IL Is not true.
Dear Miss Grey. Allow
me to answer Norma" who
complains of the Bachelor
Boys" who go to dances and
shows alone or in company
with other boys. have taken
notice of such a custom, how
ever this practice can usually
be confined to certain class
of young men, who have come
under my observation during
the past four years of teach
ing a school for young men.
No reasonable fault can be
found with the man who at
tends a show alone, many bus
mess men will choose being
in a show alone, at times, for
temporary quiet and rest.
The Bachelor Boys" who
go alone to dances or social
gatherings are usually the
boys with only two bits" in
their pockets, or the ones that
have to sponge off mamma or
papa. They are usually the
popcorn" sports that will
hang around the dance hall
trying to make the acquaint-
ance of a new one" with
prospects of no more than car
fare expenditure.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
COAL MINES PREDICTED

Frankfopt, KY. April 4.-"WithIr a
few months all coal lands in the Unit
ed States VIII be under the control of
the government. according to X. u.
Mcguire, of Louisville, representative
OF the Harlan Coal Co, who was qucs-
toned by the House Committee on
Revenue and Taxation regarding the
placing of tonnage tax on coal.
Already the government has com
mandeered all smokeless coal for use
in the United States navy. said Mr..
Mcguire, and other coal lands will lie
requisitioned, he believes. soon after
war becomes a reality. The coal of Eas-
tern Kentucky, is especially adapted TO
the manufacture of explosives, and
probably is not excelled by the coal VI
any State in that particular, he said.
MIR Mcguire was one of three rep
resentatives OF coal interests who APP
peared before the committee, OF which
william A. Perry OF Louisville, is
chairman, Robert Il. Wood, of Louis
vile, and j. V. Norman, OF Louisville,
the latter representing the Harlan
County Coal Operators Association,
were other speakers who spoke against
an excessive tax on the output Of coal.
