VIOLET: 1 do not agree with you
that the young man you have been go
ing with is gentleman. He evident
ly is we'll aware that you are very
fond of him. and his conceit is getting
the better of him. He Intentionally
humiliaees you publicly when he
taunts you in the presence of other
people with his attentions to other
girls, and no girl of spirit will endure
such treatment. You had better trans
fer your interest to some more worthy
object, since there is no hope that a
man who would be guilty of such cad
dish behavior will eyeT be worthy of
sincere affection.
:. KANE: One of the things young
man has to learn is never to lounge in
the presence of ladies, especially If he
is in the house of the young lady in
his company Never put your hands
lin your pockets nor sit with crossed
legs when making a social call.

interesting Relies of Stone Age.

Fifteen human skeletons were un- earthed near Osaka, Japan. This Is considered the birthplace of Japanese civilization. Of the relics of the Jap- anese stone age, discovered by Profes- sOr OkuShi, nine of the skeletons were in perfect preservation, all bones be- ing intact. It rarely happens, accord ing to scientific records, that so many perfect skeletons are discovered in one place. Among indications that people of that period lived on uncOoked food Is the fact that upper and lower teeth are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth are not found. Some of these skeletons stand seven feet high. Skeletons were found In a lying position, with knees drawn up. Without doubt, these peO- pie belonged to the stone age in Japan -30,OO0 years ago, at least. While making the excavation, stone imple- ments, earthenware and two copper ar- rowheads were found. It Is thought
 this find may establish a link between
 the stone and bronze ages in pre- historic Japan. This discovery revo- lutiOnizes archaeological theories of pre- historic Japan.-East and West News.

The demonstration of the FOrdson tractor on the farm of Dr. Beach in Vernon on Saturday proved com- plete success. The piece selected for the demonstration was old sawed land, side hill in practically every direction and was selected as being typical of Holland county conditions. People were present from not only Holland county, but other counties were well represented and everybody stated that they were much pleased with the work done, and it was the opinion that the tractor was able to handle in a very satisfactory manner the general farm work of this and other counties of the state. The manager of the Dr. Beach farm stated at the end of the demonstration that he had pair of horses for sale as it was his in- tention to purchase one of these tractors immediately. It was shown that a pulley could be placed on the sile of the tractor and operated from the engine clutch SO that belt could be run to any machine which it was desired to operate.

PUT UNDER WAR DISCIPLINE
Respectful Attention From Her
 Small Boy. .:...

There are small boys who are not or who do not give their elders re. spectful amount of attention when re. ceiVing orders. Yet some of them @eSn be disciplined according to the meth. ods used by an alert mother to whom the war gave the idea.
 No longer Is she simply mother; she IS, indeed, a person Of far more lmpOr- tance to her militant young son-she's Captain Mother! Her imaginative boy is Private Billie, and. as he brides him. self upon being good soldier, you can guess that few of the captains or derS are ignored. Consequently, nOt only Billie's obedience is a thing to be proud of, but his comprehension and remembrance of orders given are greatly improved, for the captain has told him that he must stand at atten- ton and salute when his name is spOk- en by superior officer and that no orders will be given until Private Bill he's eyes are fastened upon the cap- ta1n's with undivided interest,
 At the end of the week the .private's s record Is reviewed, not only by the captain but by the family army s chief of staff-father. If the record Is approved the captain threads lit tie metal button upon a ribbon, and, behold! Private Billie receives a deco ration for his loyal service to the household and to his superiors. You can readily see how this war play makes obedience wonderfully fasci- hating game and disciplines the lad die beautifully at the same time.

sname to let such a good dancer bo-

sname 10 let such a good dancer be- come a fixture.
 "You chumpl Why don't you talkT'' he said in his natural voice. eff you expect to get in soft with the girls you'll have to talk a little. Girls hate to dance with a block of wood, even though they can dance as well as you can. You are a splendid dancer, and if you could only talk the girls would take you up In no tIme."
 The look of horror on his partners face made Chester feel like stopping for good laugh, but instead he ex- plained: "I am a boy dressed up as girl, and I'm having the time of my life. Why didn't you wear a fancy costumeY
 "You didn't seem to be enjoying 1t much" The boy spoke for the first time, and, apparently he was suffering from cold.
 "I wes a little in the dumps when you came, I'll confess" Chester laugh ingly answered. "I wish had worn another costume. I'm too good at fe- male impersOnating, that is the trouble,
 
 because none of the girls are on to 1t that I am a boy. Besides, the Only Girl is here tonight, and I wanted to make a good impression. won't be able to meet her now because of this costume"
 "Why notr
 Because she doesn't know I'm such an idiot. You see, I have never met her. l have just written to her, and got letters back. She's my room mates sister, and the finest little girl on earth"
 "Pd like to meet her."
 Chester gasped. The gawk was learning fast. Before he could speak again the encore had ended and his partner had led him back to the palms. The boy sat down In the chair, ap- parently exhausted.
 "You silly thing, get up. I'm sup posed to be a girl, and" but Chester finished with an exclamation of sur prise. A curl was hanging down from the "boy's" head. The straight black hair was a wig.
 You're a girly Chester gasped.
 "And you're boy" the girl laughed
 "Who are you?"
 But before the girl could answer Bob Merrifeld, Chesters chum, came from behind a big palm and introduced them.
 "So you are Murial, and heard all I said about you," Chester grOaned. after he recovered sufficiently to find voice.
 "Yes; but what does 1t matter" Murial smiled "This waltz Is going to be splendid one. I have my curls tucked tip, so if you will let me lead you to the floor I'll promise to talk little"

Masquerading
 G0 By Vincent Perry

per Syndicate.)
 Chester Hall carefully arranged his skirts as he settled in the big comfort able chair among the palms, took a powder puff and mirror from his vanity bag and coOly powdered his nose. After making quite sure that his hair was on straight and his earrings were not coming off, he put his neatly slip pered feet out, displaying more than foot of silk hose, and sat back, fan ming himself contentedly. Although from all appearances he was the per sonification of serenity, fire of re- sentiment burned within him. He was an idiot to have allowed the boys to persuade him to come to the masQuer- ade in that costume, he thought. Mas Querading as a female in college the apIcals was all right, but 1t was diff ferent thing at dance. For the first time in his career he was experiencing what 1t was to be a wallfOwer, and 1t more than galled him.
 If only he were not such a good im- personatOr and had not a reputation as such to keep up! If he hadn't de- eeived every girl in the place it would not have been so awkward, but things had gone so far that he wouldn't un- mask under any circumstances. Be lIeving he was a girl, none of the girls would dance with him, and the boys were in on the joke and wouldn't waste dance on him. Besides, he didn't care for a dance with boy; what pleasure would there be In that?
 But the most galling part of 1t all was the presence, or the expected pres ence, of the girl he had been waiting
