HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
keeping company with soldier who
expects to leave for France soon. He
has asked me to take care of his
mothers jewelry for him while he is
away and to keep it If he never comes
back His mother is dead and -he
left him her engagement ring and d
watch to give to the girl he MARI s.
Do you think l should keep this jew
elry for hin while he is away? He
acts as if he loved me, but he has l-ev-
er told me so. L am quite sure that
1 love him, altho you would say / am
too young to know.
UNCERTAIN. :
It would be all right to keep tho
jewelry for him while he is away.
Dear Mrs Thompson: How many
dates a week do you think a girl
should have after she is Is or older?
MARY.
A girl should not have more than
three engagements a week. Her
health canIot stand any more than
that Girls wko go out too many
nights grow old before they should
and lose their endurance.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE WAR

The vital part taken by advertising
in developing A \ srica's prosecution
Of the war was noted by President
woodrow Wilson in a telegram re-
ceived by William G. d'Arcy, PRESIDENT
of the Associated Advertising Clubs IF
the World. The telegram reads:
Permit me to express my very gen.
uine interest in the success IF your
great convention in San Francisco. I
realize how squarely and spontaneous
lv the advertising men of the country
have stood behind the war. Hant in
particular to bear witness to the aerv-
ice advertising has done for the sale
of liberty bonds and war savings
stamps, and in behalf of subscription
funds for the Red Cross and the Y. M.
C. A, not to speak of many other
forms of service.
1T was with real satisfaction that
I created by executive order the aov
ernment division of advertising as q
part of the committee on public in
formation. The men. appointed as
bers of your organization, and the
work that has been done has been Of
far-reaching service and value"
The president neglected to call at
tention to the fact that this service On
the pat of the newspapers has been
performed free q expense to the ..ov-
ernment. OF course he could not be
expected to mention the additional fact
that a number OF his cabinet officers
have done everything in their power to
handicap the newspapers by means of
censorship rules. unjust taxation and
in whatever other ways founl avail
able.
No newspaper begrudges what it ,as
done to help win the war. All are
glad and proud to be of service. No
publisher desires to escape from pay
ing his just rr portion of the war bur-
/ in cash, but a'l feel that they a. E
entitled to fair treatment at the hards
of the government.

For the first time since the war be-
gan. the allies are attacking on all
fronts simultaneously. Everywhere
the enemy has been placed on tho de-
fensive. The changed situation prob
ably is due largely to the placing OF all
the armies in the field under the 1u-
preme command of General Foch.
Hitherto Germany has been able to
send reinforcements quickly to any
point attacked by the allied forces.
She now has no soldiers to spare. She
needs all of them on the western
front. The Austrian army at no time
has been able to accomplish anything
without German aid. Now that this
assistance is not forthcoming there is
no reason for surprise in the fact that
the soldiers of Emperor Charles are
being forced back both in Italy and
the Balkans. Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey no longer are assets OF the kali
ser: they have become liabilities, and
he cannot make payment 1t Is tit
ting that the war should end in the
Balkans, where it began, and present
indications are that it may do so.
The Italians who failed to reach
Trieste from the north may reach it
from the south. The two armies OF
Italy converging at the head of the
Adriatic would find little difficulty n
continuing to Vienna.

TRAVELETTE
By NIKSAH
The Temple of Sebek.

4hO ASDuplC VI oNDShs
Where the Nile forms one of the
gentlest curves in its smooth course,
Egypt built an impressive temple and
dedicated it to Sebek, god of the croc-
odile. History does not number the
workmen who toiled and sweated
countless days to fit the huge stones
in place. Nor does it state why the
carving and polishing were never COM
pleted. Time, sand, and the Nile
floods have worn the massive stones
Many are broken, but the outline of
the temple is clear and the sandy
brown walls still wear their gay paint
ing in protected spots.
Carved pillars raise great slabs for
a covering to the temple. Not until
you walk between these rows of COL
umns do you really know the i'm
mensity and solidity of the work. Bat
tered carvings and paintings depict
grim faced kings OF Egypt as they
worshiped, hunted or fought.
Again and again appears the un-
lovely form of Sebek, his crocodile
head rising from a human body, and
the whole effect rendered more COM
plex by pair of ferocious horns. Sc
bek was not worshiped IN many tenn
pies, but in his one great sanctuary
he commanded fear and respect. He
was the god who guided the dead to
their destination. and a safe trip
and prayers.
Therefore Sebek's temple was pop
ular Furthermore, the god of the
crocodile could, if propitiated, keep
away his sacred reptiles that their
cave-like jaws might not be constant
menace to the people The crocodile
is no longer a power in Egypt, and
the altar OF Sebek has long been neg
Ilected by all but the traveller and his
tOrian.

The veteran tank Britannia, bat
tered from numerous encounters with
barbe. wire entanglements. and other
fur iture of no mans land, gave the
people of this country an idea OF the
appearance of a tank when it toured
America in the interest of the third
liberty loan. The Britannia is one Of
the sirst British tanks of a pattern
now obsole -Nerefore close !n-;pec-
ton of its secrets was unhindered.
The cloud of mystery that envelops
the new American tanks is almost us
thick as that which protected the
first british tanks during their de-
velopment. Details of their mecnau-
ism. the number of tanks Suilding or
t, be built-these are matters Which
tank corps officers dismiss briefly as
confidential" One thing is certain;
the American tank is a tractor With
the celebrated caterpillar glide and
al ed exterior bristling with guns.
From its exterior view it is not unlike
its predecessors, but within 1t is a
co .nbination of the best features of
the tanks of the allies nodded by
American ingenuity and invention into
a new machine-the American tank.
