Dear Miss Fairfax: | am girl
of 20 and considered good-looking.
| have a fine position as a stenog-
rapher. My employer is unmarried
and about 40. Lately he his begun
to make me little presents. !
shouldn't think anything about this
if hadn't heard so much about girls
having to be careful in regard to
their employers. We don't have
much conversation except on busi-
ness, but l know he likes me. What
shall / do? / don't want him to
think me old-maidish. E. f. G.
1t is quite true that you must be
onhyour guard in case like this.
suppose you understand that you
must not accept presents of any
value, either from your employer or
from any other man to whom you
are not engaged. But if these gifts
are of merely trifling value it is prob
ably not worth while to take stand
in regard to them. Discourage him
indirectly. instead, in such way
that neither of you will become self
conscious. A girl is, of course, a;
liberty to accept presents of flowers
and candy.

managers came from the bottom up
Give this idea little thought. Where
fore we assert, without fear of re-
futation, that it was a mistake for
the government to put politicians at
the head of the governments big
business. They had only shown ca
pacity for politics, why should the
government conclude they would show
equally as great capacity to manage
big business? About once in every

has capacity for both. In putting
politicians at the head of the airplane
business the government took the
long chance.

The news of the death of Mrs. Otis

For twenty years the family had
lived at Peshastin, where Mr.. Otis
was one of the pioneer fruit growers.
Mrs. Otis has not been well for some
time and went to Seattle some three
months ago in the hope of finding
medical relief. Besides her husband
and son, Harvey Otis, she leaves a
sister and brother, Mrs. NJ. W.
Starks and Eugene Starks. That she
was seriously i'll was made evident
when her sister, Mrs. Starks, went
to Seattle last Sunday night in
answer to telegraphic advice. Burial
took place Wednesday afternoon in
the Lakeview cemetery, near Seattle.

The administration is the target for
an unusually severe rebuke by the
newspapers for the treatment of Gen.
Wood, who won his spurs by dis
tinguished service in the Spanish
America war. Notwithstanding high
rank and demonstrated ability as a
soldier and administrator he has been
forced into the background. The
most unkindest thing of all, connected
with the incident is the fact that Mr..
Secretary Baker has intimated that
Gen. Pershing is responsible for the
slight put upon Gen. Wood. A no
less able and distinguished demo-
cratic journal than the New York
World recently said, in spirit of
well merited candor, "The treatment
of Gen. Wood will cause a blush of
shame to all fair-minded American
citizens.

MORE EVIDENCE OF GERMAN
"KULTURE."

According to Swiss newspapers re-
ceived in this country the authori-
ties in Germany are taking steps to
provide plenty of work for all women
from is to 10 years old.
In the last two years of the war,
suicide, especially among women, has
increased at an alarming rate. This,
your German scientist has decided, is
due to lack of sufficient employment
to keep them from thinking about
their hard lot, the loss of husband
and sons when they lie down to sleep
at night.
In Prussia, Westphalia, Saxony
and Bavaria the number of suicides
in 1917 increased by 16 per cent.
over the previous year, and rs per
cent. of the suicides were women.
Your efficient German never over
looks anything. The smallest details
engage the attention of the power
lustful German from the emperor
down through the ranks of the aris-
tocracy, or junkers, as this class is
called. In the death of the women
they see the loss of the future
soldier. The German government
looks upon the ordinary woman much
as does the American farmer on his
brood sows to raise hogs from. To
prevent the loss of the women by
suicide they have reasoned it all out
that if the woman is kept busy at
manual labor during ten or twelve
hours each day she will be so tired
at night she will fall asleep without
brooding over her hard lot. There
is, of course, real hard, practical
reasoning in all this devilish German
kulture. 1t is all directed to one end
and has the development of FORCE,
force to subdue the world, make it
all German, as the end aimed at
Now, as a preventive of suicide and
the depletion of their soldier breed
