Dear Miss Grey: An elderly
| woman In our neighborho0d
seems to have no real friends.
She is irritable and has a very
sad expression all the time.
None of the neighbors like her.
But l wanted to help her, and
determined to find out the
cause of her unhappiness.
Finally she told me her story.
She has been grieving all these
years because in a lawsuit a
certain false statement about
her became a part Of the rec
ord. The statements were
made by a man with the con-
nivance OF her husband. She
feels disgraced, and 1t has
broken her heart. Now cannot
that record be changed or
erased? 1t seems cruel to blast
a woman's life like that.
HER NEIGHBOR.
It does not seem advisable to
reopen the case now, after SO
long a time. The story has been
forgotten by most people, and 1t
would be folly to bring it up
again. And perhaps the same
influences which worked against
her ut the time Of the suit are
still powerful enough to cut off
any attempt to right the wrong.
But your neighbors can do more
than anything else to reclaim the
woman from her state of melan-
choly. Without breaking her
confidence, you can tell the
|neighbOrs that her mOrOseness is
the result Of a great sorrow. To-
gether you can show the poor suf-
ferer that there il still kindness
in the hearts Of her neighbOrs. In
vite her to your homes and insist
that she share some OF your social
pleasures. Let her feel that you
are genuine friends.
Dear Miss Grey: Please tell
me where I may get informa-
tion about admission to West
Point Military academy.
CECIL.
You will find at the libraries
compiled books of information
and "year books" These give the
information you ask.
Dear Miss Grey: am a girl
16 years old and studying to
be a stenographer. have
brothers and sisters both older
and younger than I am. l can
play the piano and play
good game aof tennis, but
would like to join a club. My
parents say l should stay home
and study; but I do study al
most every evening. 1t Is get
ting monOtonous for me.
My brothers and sisters, who
have less ability than I have,
are always reporting false tales
about me to my parents, and
they believe them. This is
what I have to face each day
when come home from
school. I am all run down and
think little evening stroll to
the club and back would do me
good.
Don't you think a girl as old
| as I am has right to be out
among girls one evening q

tattling? I'm good and sick

Going Over the Top
(East oregonian Specially

UMAPINE, Aug. 29.-Ernest F.
Jordan, son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. S. Jor-
dan of Umapine, writes the following
interesting letter from the western
front in France, telling of going over
the top five times in four days:
July 20.
Dear Slster-Just a line to let YOU
know / am still all right, although 1
have spent a pretty exciting week.
We went over the top five times in
four days and gained about 25 miles
before we were relievd. I had some
pretty narrow escapes but wasn't hit
so that now l am back resting for a
few days. 1 sent you $50 today. l
got a German watch, cigarette case
and knife from some prisoners l took
back. The Germans won't stand and
fight us at all except with mahcine
guns. They almost have to kill all
the Germans to take a machine gun,
but their infantry run like rabbits.
but believe me, their heavy artillery
is a tough thing to buck as they shoot
rolling kitchens and everything. One
,of their shells is as tall as 1 am. The
horror of battle cannot be imagined.
I came back ever the field the fifth
day and it is something terrible. 1
pray every night for the boys who
were hit on the field. The best storm
troops haven't anything on the Am
orleans, as they have proven this last
week. Let me know if you get the
all right. / am sending 1t
the Y. NJ C. A. so ] guess
there will be no doubt about you get
ting 1t. 1 got little gas but it didn't
hurt me much. / talk hoarse is all
and my eyes and throat burn. I had
to wear a gas mask for three hours.
Well. will have to go to supper. so
goodbye sister and may God bless you
all. Maybe I Will be home sooner
Than we expect so be of good cheer.
Your loving brother.
