Dear Mrs. Thompson: % l am a
very young widow and have little
girl three years old. was married
when l left the eighth grade and never
took business course, and so now /
am left alone. live at home, but
lately 1t has become so uncomfortable
for me that l must leave. What do
you think l am best fitted for, as
don't want to give up my little girl to
the day nursery and would like to
have her with me?
(2) l am going with nice young
man whom l care great deal for.
He understands my affairs. as l con-
fide in him. Did do wrong in telling
him of my troubles?
80 He is drafted and will leave
soon Is there any chance of his get
ting exempted? YOUNG WIDOW.
% If you are good at Homework
you could probably get employment
as housekeeper in a private home and
at the same time have your l!ttle girl
with you. Do not consider this work
beneath you, because it is something
that very many fine women are doing
whose husbands have gone to war.
! Go to an employment bureau for ad-
vice. You might get Office work or
clerking for while and save enough
money to start housekeeping and
have roomers and boarders, but if you
do Office work you cannot have your
child with you. It IS very serious
matter when woman who has not
had business training is left widow
with little girl to care for
| If you can sew, try to get work that
way, or even helping dressmaker.
But if you assist dressmaker you
probably will have to give up your
child during the day.
! (2) 1t was all right to tell him. Do
not burden him by telling him about
your troubles any more than you can
help, however. He will like you bet
ter if he thinks you are brave and
cheerful in spite of your unfortunate
life.
60 There is little chance, unless
he is doing important government
work or is physically unfit

BALD HEADS BARRED
FROM ARMY SERVICE

st. Louis, Mo.-The obvious target
that bald head offers to Teuton
sharpshooters was assigned by an
army officer here as vital reason
why men minus hair on their heads
should be exempted from military
service unless they can be used in
some branch that does not call for ex-
posture to the enemy.
Captain c. E. Jenkins, in charge of
an ambulance company at Camp 1Funs-
ton, gave this advice when speaking to
members of local exemption boards.
Bald headed men are not altogether
welcome" Captain Jenkins said They
present shining target for the enemy
and besides they cannot withstand
cold. They would make admirable de-
coys but thus far We have not felt the
need Of using hairless heads for that
purpose"
Further advice offered by the cap
tain was that men with index fingers
missing or with as many as two toes
missing should not be accepted. He
explained that it has already cost the
government thousands of dollars to re-
turn men to their homes who are thus
physically unfit

Dadmun, Orchestra SOlOist.

The Tri-City Symphony orchestra
has been most fortunate in securing
Royal Dadmun. the famous New York
baritone as SOLOS tfor the concert at
the Burtis opera house in Davenport,
Monday evening. Feb. 4. Interest in
this event is keen judging from the
large advance sale of seats. Mr.
Dadmun's reputation has preceded
him to the tri-cities and he promises
to prove an artist of rare ability. Per-
haps one Of the most obvious and at
the same time Surest methods of judg-
ing the success of an artist is to read
his press notices. If this method is
applied to Royal Dadmum the gauge
would certainly register an exception
ally high degree of success for him.
Three of his New York clippings will
suffice to give an idea of the enthus-
iasm with which his concert work is
received:
Mr.. Dadmun disclosed a pleasing
voice and no little gift of interpreta-
ton. He was worth hearing'-P. V.
r. Key, New York World.
His voice is of a good and power
full baritone quality. and his general
display of it showed intelligence. a
good legato and good enunciation. -
W. J. Henderson, New York Sun.
Mr.. Dadmun has voice of good
quality, which was pleasing in the
lyric stple which most of his numbers
were set in."-Richard Aldrich, New
