Advice to the LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
is THIS PATRIOTISM.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My mother thinks me absolutely in
corrigible. 1 think l have done moth
ing but a patriotic and human duty.
A friend and l, girls, were taking d
walk. Two u. S. soldiers asked us If
we would allow them to walk with
refuse. They said they knew no one
here and that they were going across
very soon, as we could see from their
hobnails and overseas caps. We walk
ed with them for two hours and when
they left us they asked us go the fol-
lowing night to see a show.
Now, there was nothing in the
boys actions to make us distrust
themy and we are college girls, sup
posed to have some sense. We con-
sented to go. and there my trouble be-
gan, so far as my mother is concerned.
1 wish you would convince her that
there is nothing wrong in what 1
have done, although admit that there
would be some danger if we were not
sensible girls.
Doesn't it seem to an intelligent girl
like you that the extreme and des-
perate loneliness of good-looking
young soldiers is an idea that has per-
haps been little over emphasized? I
am afraid it won't do to suspend all
the conventional laws that have been
framed for the protection of girls
merely because there are young men
in uniform about with extra time on
their hands. 1t is quite true that in
such case as yours no harm is done.
but it would have been much wiser, in
case you felt yourself justified in
speaking to the young men without
an introduction, to ask them to come
to your own house, where your mother
could help you receive them, rather
than to go walking with strangers.
Even wise college girls cannot throw
prudence to the winds.

talks by many OF tho members
committee appointed several months
ago was asked to renew efforts for
semaphores and members of the club
were also instructed to investigate
the matter of housing. The meeting
was resolved into a gathering dedi-
Gated to a better Harrisburg.
Manager Horace L. Virgins, of the
Penn-Harris Hotel, started the move
ment for a better Harrisburg with an
invitation to Kiwanis members to
make the hotel their home. 1T is
Harrisburg's hotel" he said. Follow
ing him Gus NJ. Steinmetz, managing
editor of the Harrisburg Telegraph,
in a short talk spoke enthusiastically
of the bright outlook for Harrisburg,
telling the club members there are
many fine things coming to this city
within the next few years. Mr..
Steinmetz was tn guest of Harry
Lowengard, editor of the Courier.
IF we have a bigger and better
Harrisburg we must have better
talk by Dr. Harry B. Walter. He
urged that a tract of land be pre-
pared for building and that Harris
burg get ready for the big boom
that is sure to come. We've got to
have places for the men and women
and children to live and Sleep" he
stated. I'VE want definite action;
more than simple talk.
These housing conditions at present
are drawback to better Harris

j. II. Lutz, Jr., brought up the
question of semaphores. which had
been taken up by the club several
months ago. At that time a commit
tee interviewed city officials who
asked that the matter be deferred for
a year. Mr.. Lutz mentioned the COR
ner at Fourth and Chestnut streets
and stated it is one of the most dan
gerous spots in the town. He was
backed up by William C. Alexander,
of the Moorhead Knit
ting Company, who asked for i'm
mediate action on the matter. The

Mae Murray in "Modern
Love-" at Regent Today


Della Arnold is the ingenue of a
travelling stock company playing in
the Middle West. When the company
misses a train for the next town the
leading man tries to force the girl to
remain overnight in his room. She
escapes him. The company returns
to town and disbands
Furious at his first failure to sub
due woman upon whom he has fast
ened his intentions, the leading man
lies about the girl, telling his friends
that their names are on the hotel reg
lister at the little country inn. 1t is
proved that he did register that way,
without the girls knowledge.
The girls true love for a good man
is delayed and almost wrecked when
he hears and for minute believes
the lie being circulated by the lead
ing man.
In spite of terrific obstacles and
discouragement the girl finds happi-
ness with the man she loves.
The role of Della Arnold is played
in this latest Universal production
by Mae Murray, who is supported by
an able cast of photoplayers. includ-

THIS MAN WAS BORN
UNDER A LUCKY STAR

New York, Nov. 20.-F. E. Lewis,
I'd, New York motorist, recently
made an automobile trip across the
continent from New York to Los
Angeles on which he established a
tire record which will make all
other motorists turn green with
envy. He ran the entire distance of
3,175 miles from ocean to ocean
without a single puncture or with
out changing a tire or tube and he
wired back upon his arrival that the
tires looked good enough for the re-
turn trip. He made the distance in
sixteen running days and used
Cadillac car equipped with Norwalk
cord tires and Norwalk inner tubes.
To the poor unfortunate automo-
bilist who has started out Sunday
morning for 100-mile trip and had
five punctures and two blowouts it
will certainly seem that this man
was born under a lucky star. This
tire record has probably never been
anywhere near approached.

of directors when further definite ac-
ton will be taken.
The first address of the meeting
was an inspiring one by Rabbi Louis
]. Haas, of Ohev Sholom Temple,
in which he gave high praise to the
interden ominationa work being done
by the cooperating religious war
work organizations. He cited his
own case as an instance, saying that
as representative of the Jewish We'll
fare Board at Gettysburg he was
given every assistance and support
by the workers of the Knights of
Columbus, Y. NJ. c. A. and allied or
ganiZations.
Speaking particularly of the boys
from his own faith, he said"Our Boys
went over the top, not as Jews but
as Americans" Touching on the
theme of religious unity he said:
THE Jew, the Gentle, the Protest
ant and the Catholic are all fighting
united in one grand principle. 1 saw
Jewish Welfare posters hanging
alongside Y. M. C. A, Knights of
Columbus and other war work
placards. That is the grand symbol
of the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhood of God" He laid en-
phass on the fact that men of all
creeds fought for the right of man.

Fisher & Cleckner, won the attend

SHALL SHE MARRY HIMs

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For two years 1 have been en-
gagged to young man one year
younger than I, in whose home town
have been working. For my va
cation I went to my own home for
three months. On my return he told
me he had taken another girl to q
few dances and movies and begged
forgiveness. We were to be mar
ried in the Fall, but he was called
to France, and now he wants to be
married as soon as he comes home.
CONSTANT READER.
Don't exact too much from your
sweetheart. 1 think you should not
have expected him to forswear all
human society for three months be-
cause you were out of town. But
since he has been frank with you
and you have forgiven him. why in
the world should you refuse to marry
him? Lovers must always beware of
becoming suspicious.

WHAT is HER PRoBLEMs

DEAN MlSO AllNr Al
A friend of the family told me that
q certain young man cares very much
for me. I've been out a few times
with him and enjoy his company very
much. He is jolly and full of fun.
l do not love this man, but as he
has a very good profession l think
l could be very comfortable with
him. lie is an only son.
Now, Miss Fairfax, what / want to
ask you is this What right has
mother to boss her son at 23 years of
age2 He has just graduated from
college and his mother thinks he
should stay home and support them
for a few more years.
Since l heard this ] dislike his peo-
pie. If 1 ever marry' him l would
have nothing to do with them, as they
are foreigners.
Aren't your objections to this young
mans family rather premature when
you have it simply on hearsay that
he cares for you and you admit you
value him largely because of his in
come?
Don't, I beg of you, consider mar
riage until more sympathetic rela-
tionship has come about. And if you
should ever love the young man 1
know you will not then permit your
self to feel vindictively toward his
family or to judge his mother.

LOVE OR A CAREERs

DEAR MloS Il Alhf a.
I have been engaged to young
man five years my senior for the past
year. He is in the U. S. Navy, and
our plans were to get married on his
return home in December. l am a
violinist, have played in several con-
certs, and am now playing in an or
chestra in a theater with my sisters,
also musicians. They have all told me
am a great player, and want TO go
on a concert tour.
When 1 wrote my fiance about this
plan, he said he was very sorry, for
it would break into our earlier plans;
that [ might meet some one whom
cared much more for and that any
way he did not care to wait so long
to be married. But If that was my
choice, could depend on him as
dear friend.
But if he would let me go on my
artistic career, earn lots of money
and become famous, I would consent
to marry him in a year or two. Or |
would give up the concert tour and
stick to our earlier plans. But must
/, after his letter, acknowledge our en-
gagement broken?
Since you care so much for this
young man that you are willing to
give up your musical plans entirely,
why not make this known to him,
as that is the only difficulty in the
way of your marrige? I should think.
however, that you might reconcile the
two careers, as so many other women
have done. Talk 1t over with your
sailor when he comes back, and sug-
gest marrying him first, and keeping
up your violin work afterwards. A
really enlightened husband doesn't de-
mand of his wife that she smother
her talents as proof of love for him.

MUST HE ALWAYS BLUsHs
Jar MISS FAIRFAX

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
1 am a young man of 81 and always
blush when in the presence of women.
Will you please advise me as to what
to do to overcome it?
F. A. S.
Perhaps you don't spend enough
time in the presence of women. If
you make it point of talking to
girls and women every day on really
interesting subjects your excessive
self consciousness will surely disap-
pear after time, and your calls upon
young women are too widely separat-
ed, and that you don't take conversa-
tion with women as a matter of
course, which you must learn to do.
I'm sorry for your embarrassment.

I think you are too young to go
