try.
ANSWER-There are 2,040 war prisoners

GERS excepted. and are paid, clothed and fed
in accordance with rules Of international

What is the proportion Of Catholics to

lar army there are 10 Catholic chaplains to
81 Professionals; in the national army there
are 50 Catholic. 81 Protestant: and In the
navy 10 Catholics. 8 Protestants. Those

What are the homing pigeons used for +?
ANSWER-British soldiers and sailors
are making frequent use OF carrier pigeons

the bird to die from exhaustion on arriv-
ing at its destination.

The reply of President Wilson to the
German peace overture appears to
have been satisfactory to our allies
and to about everybody in this coun-
try except the editor of the morning
paper. Nothing but praise and ex-
pressions of confidence in the presi-

heard from any other source. But a

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMSON,

Dear Mrs. Thompson. I was once
deeply In love with a boy whom
thought was a nice boy at the time,
but found out later that he wanted
to go with another girl he had been
going with before because she would
kiss him. 1 would not kiss him be-
cause 1 knew it wasn't right unless
to kiss him and said he loved me, and
because 1 wouldn't say I loved him
he went back to her.
Now 1 realize how much I really
did love him. Can you tell me how
to win him back?
Do you think she did kiss him at
his request as he said she did? The
girl he has been going with has moved
away and she seldom hears from him.
have heard that he said he would go
with another girl while she is gone
if he knew she would not get angry.
Do you suppose that is why he didn't
go with me longer?
THANK YOU.
Speak to him in a friendly way, but
do not let him think you regret his
going with the other girl instead of
you. 1t is human nature to want the
things we are not sure we can have.
When he tires of the girl he is going
with now he may want TO go with
you AGAIN. At least he will remem-
Der you as the girl who would not
kiss him. and he will not have the
opportunity of telling other boys and
girls that you would kiss him when
he wanted you to.
1t is folly to think and suppose
things about the relationship between
the young man and his other girls. !
cannot advise you about your last two
questions because I know nothing
about the circumstances

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
By DOROTHY DIX
Wofid'H Highest Paid Woman WRitk.
The Hoop La.

Take domestic life, for instance.
Most Of us find that pretty dull and
monotonous, and we think of home as
ligatory to use even common polite
ness in dealing with those with whom
they live.
There are. however, a few people
wise enough to take the trouble to
gid family life. They keep the spirit
Of romance alive, even after they have
domesticated it by living room radia-
tor. These couples no more escape the
inevitable trials and tribulations and
sacrifices of matrimon than do 9TH
ers, but by their glorification Of the
holy estate they take the sting out of
self denial and make it worth while.
The husband still keeps the atti-
tude of a lover. He brings home to
his wife a flower, a book, a box of
candy that show thought and care in
their selection. He makes little treats
for his wife. He gives her little sur
prises. He notices what she has on
and how she does her hair, and Is full
of appreciation of all that she does
for him and so he keeps the thrill in
life for her.
The woman plays up to her hus-
band. She takes the trouble to dress
for him, to put flower on her breast,
to turn always a radiant face upon
him and to make OF h-r home a place
of enchantment where he may forget
the struggle and the anxieties of the
outside world. And. SO they make of
their love and their relationship q liv-
ing, palpitating Joy. instead Of dead
emotion.
Yet these people are no better
situated than thousands of others who
find marriage woeful disillusion
They make no more sacrifices, nor
do they do their duty by each other
any better than the others. They
have merely found out how to infuse
the hoop-la into matrimony.
The same principle holds good with
regard to our work. which Is either
dreary drudgery or an exciting career
according to the spirit that we throw
into it. Why do people yearn to be
actors, writers, artists, instead of car
penters, bill clerks and green grocersi
There is really just as much excite
ment in building skyscraper al
there is in building up character or
the stage. There is just as much
romance in shipping goods to the fal
parts of the earth as there is in writ.
| ing novels about the seven seas. You
| can make just as good a picture In
| still life in a shop window as you car
| on canvas.
| ALI the difference is that the actor
| the artist and the writer follow the
professions about which there rests 9
| sort of hoop-la glamor, and 1t is the
hoop-la spirit that camouflages worl
and worry, and turns them into higf
| adventure.

If by any chance peace shall come
before the soldiers of the allied
armies, and particularly those of the
American Ermy, can march thru the
streets of Berlin there will be a sorely
disappointed body of men in uniform.
The feeling is general among both
civilians and soldiers of America that
it is not enough to whip the Hun, but
he should be Inundated. Another
sentiment which has taken deep root
in the American mind is that Germany
should be made to pay for the prop
erty her soldiery has destroyed in
France and Belgium. There is no
man living who can estimate the
amount of damage inflicted on
France, on it's natural resources, by
the devastation of the Hindenburg
hordes who laid waste the whole coun-
tryside on their retreat from the
Somme. There is not person living
who can estimate the loot which was
carried off by the Germans in emu
lation of their crown prince; the loot
that stripped not only the plain and
common hamlet, the shelter and home
of the humble peasant, but also the
loot which devastated towns, public
halls and the chateaux which were
cursed by their temporary habitation.
Nor is it possible to estimate the
amount of the unjust fines and PEN
alties assessed against French munich
palities by the rapacious invaders. And
yet neither America nor the world
has ever heard a word of complaint
from France. Perhaps she has been
content in the belief that in the end
retribution would be visited upon the
invaders.
