Advice to the
LOvelOrn
Avoid a Quarrel.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Ny girl friend and have had
considerable attention from two
young men "a" and 'sB." 4 and
my friend had q slight quarrel
and since then neither OF the
young men has visited US. B
made an engagement with me,
but failed to keep 1t. AS enjoy
his company, should like him
to continue his visits. have a
valuable piece of jewelry be-
longing to him and am in sus-
pense in regard to it refused
to either phone or write. as do
not think it is my place to do
so. I know he cares for me, but
cannot understand his attitude
at present. B. N
As you and B do not seem to
have become involved in the quar-
rel OF the other parties, can't
see why you hesitate about writ
ing or phoning to the young man,
particularly as you have some
thing OF value belonging to him
1 should think you would. at
least, like to be relieved OF this
responsibility.

Nothing Doing.

Mr.. Smith, dissatisfied with hts
house, put the sale OF IL in the
hands OF an estate agent.
A few days later he saw an adj
vertisement OF a house exactly
answering his needs. The more he
read Of its beauty and comfort the
more anxious he was to secure Il
for himself.
So he called up the estate agent
with: There is a house advertised
in the News by A. B. C. See A. 3. c.
and buy IL from him.
SORRY" was the laconic reply.
But Pm "A B. c. and the house
T. your own"

Fears to Be Forward.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Some time ago I met a young
man whom I cared for, but
would never tell him so when
= he asked me. 1t seemed as
though he cared for me also;
in fact. he even told me so.
One day he made an appoint
ment which he did not keep.
Later he gave me an excuse
which 1 accepted. Since then,
he stopped calling on me. /
tried to forget him. but I find
that 1 am always thinking Of
him. I would like to regain
his friendship without being
too forward
EVELYN B. r.
am afraid you have already IL
lowed yourself to think too much
about this young man. Unless
chance throws you together again
1 should say your only course il
to forget him.

OF
THE FAMOUS

There are q couple Of things
about Marshal Foch which argue
against two well-known theories.
One OF the theories Is that the use
of the notebook betokens a weak
memory. The other, that bad hand
writing is a token OF genius.
Geniuses often write execrably.
Sir Henry Irving and Charles Dick
ems are striking examples. Mar
shall Foch's writing, on the other
hand, is perfectly clear, in which
II reflects his mind. His notebook
he carries about with him con-
stantly, jotting down all ideas worth
preserving.
Even burglars sometimes possess
q sense Of the artistic, and the trio
who attempted the conhscation Of
Gabrielle G'Annunzio's treasures .
while back were as versed in the
art OF graceful speeches as q Gov
eminent diplomat
The airman-poet surprised them
In the middle of their work. They,
on their part, appeared equally sur
prised, and suggested, as comph-
ment to the owners talents, re-
turning the whole OF the booty
taken in return for his silence.
Their offer was accepted, and.
strange to relate, they kept their
half of the bargain, and every sin
gle article was restored
Booth Harrington has been
launching out into genealogical
mathematics His deductions are
quite arresting.
ANY workhouse dishwasher," he
says, has about $4,000 ancestors
who were alive sixteen or seven
teen generations ago. and some OF
the dishwasher's ancestors were
Wilhelm's ancestors, too"
II Wilhelm and the dishwashers
are intended to reflect upon this
fact, there is yet another side
worth exploring. What would the
$4,000 ancestors have thought had
they realized what they were COM
ing to?
But perhaps some Of the $4,000
made wars and washed dishes
themselves.
Some of our heroes have strange
memories to contrast with the new
order OF things. and imagine that
Captain Hambleton, who skippered
the torpedoed Justicia and was
fortunately. saved, must have pass
ed through some odd moments
when remembering q certain pre-.
war occasion on which he rescued
q party of men from a German
wreck.
He was serving as second Of
ficer on the Georgia at the time.
The German ship was seen to be
in difficulties. and Hambleton or
ganiZed a volunteer party to go to
the rescue. 1t was a risky enter
prise. but the Germans were saved
and the Kaiser appreciated Ham
bleton's pluck so greatly on hear
ing of II that he presented him
with an inscribed gold watch.
1 wonder whether Captain Ham
bleton still preserves 1t?
Most people like honors. but there
are some folk who do not take to
them kindly. Sir Wilfrid Laurier
accepted a handle to his name on
political grounds-privately he
would rather have remained plain
Mr.. Laurier. And the late Sir Henry
Irving, after refusing a knighthood,
accepted II at last for the sake OF
his profession. Sir Hedworth
Meux's attitude Is reflected in the
following story:
King Edward once asked Sir He'd
worth for his opinion OF yachts
man in whom he was interested.
Hes a bounder," said the ad-
miral.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that" re-
piled King Edward. 81 have just
made him q member OF the Vic
torian Order"
"Giad to hear II, sir" said the
admiral, heartily. ut serves him
right

ENTERTAINMENT
AT HIGH SCHOOL
rs BIG SUCCESS

The greatest stunts that the
Rock Island high school has ever
put over in the line OF aniusements
was staged last night in the high
school auditorium. The purpose OF
the program was to sell the new
school song written by j. w. Caste
and Mr. Casio sold out lis songs
and new edition will have to be
published. The tickets sold at p
cents and were divided into three
parts. One part was for the admit
lance to the vaudeville show, on
part for the copy of the song and
the other part for the dance that
was given at the Manual Arts
dance floor The high school audi
forum was packed to its utmost
for the show and also the dance
floor for the dance.
The program that was given the
spectators was made of The high
school people, the alumni and one
act consisted of one outsider but
very popular with the student
body. Nothing in that line had
been given the student body TO-
some time, but it was fully appre-
ciated by those who attended it.

MORE DAYLIGHT

Confusion As To Time Fixed for
Changing ClOcks-Law Says .
A. W.. March 81.

There is some misunderstanding
among the people of Rock Island in
regards to the exact time which the
law stipulates that the clocks
should be moved forward there
quired one hour.
Contrary to previous announce
ments, the law fixes the time of
the clock change to be 2 o'clock
Easter Sunday morning This will
cause citizens of the tri-cities to
arise one hour earlier than usual
on Easter and will in consequence
advance the time of church service
in all the churches just one hour.
Previous statements gave different
versions of the exact time that the
change is to be made and at the
request of many local residents
The Argus asCeTtained the official
stipulation, which says that at ,
o'clock Sunday morning the change
is to take place. Clocks should be
set forward before retiring, or
many of the faithful will miss Eas-
ter church service.
