Is it proper for girls to wave or

Could you suggest any way to get

have no brothers.
Could you send me or tell me

Could you suggest some simple
way of earning money at home in

CHAPTER II.
Love in Despair.

HSNS 40 DSf'A'
THE Birds flying south mounted
| high, high into the air, until
- the earth far beneath them be-
came just silvery simmer in the
moonlight. Then Peggy understood
why she had never seen the Swal-
lows and Purple Martins migrating
They flew so high that they were be-
yond the sight of ordinary eyes.
1t was frosty away up there and
Peggy found her fingers and toes
beginning to Jingle with cold.
"Im freezing" she shouted.
$50 am l." chimed in Billy Bel
GUM.
The Birds didn't seem to mind the
frigid air a bit, as they were kept
fairly warm by their exertions in
flying. Peggy and Billy Belgium,
however, didn't have this advantage.
Sitting in their airplanes, they
caught the full sweep of the chilling
breeze. Soon Peggy was so cold
she couldn't control the airplane and
it turned toward the earth.
Mrs. Swallow saw Peggy's dis
tress and acted at once. She landed
on the airplane and, creeping into
the cockpit, took Peggy into a warm
feathery embrace, wrapping two
downy wings around her. She was
a snug cloak that quickly made Peg
faa1 tnH to
General Swallow saw what his
bright little wife had done for Peggy
and he did the same for Billy Bel
GUM.
Peggy now had chance to enjoy
the flight of the Birds. They made
an impressive sight, spread out as
far as she could see, undulating in
long, swooping waves like the swell
of rolling sea.
Hadn't we ought to be getting to
the South pretty soon?" Peggy asked
after a time.
Mrs. Swallow giggled.
why, the South is five or six hum
bred miles away" she answered.
"And haven't we come that far"
asked Peggy, who had no idea of
how fast they were flying.
Indeed not" shrilled Mrs. Swal-
low, 1--WE travel about $50 or 200
miles a day, and that's pretty good
flying"
Peggy did a quick sum in mental
arithmetic.
why, at that rate We'll be three
or four days getting there. I can't
stay away that long"
you can go as fast as you want to
under the spell of Golickety leaves"
suggested Mrs. Swallow.
Then | wish we could get to the
castle of the Dancing Damsel in
minute" said Peggy.
No sooner said than done. They
sped ahead at lightning pace. The
air lost its autumn chill and became
as balmy as a night in June. A
pleasing softness seemed to be set
ling over the earth. They were in
Dixieland and below them, silvered
by the moonlight, stood great cas-
tie.
Gracious me, what have we
DONE" shrilled Mrs. Swallow, there
we are down South already and Cen
eral Swallow and Billy Belgium are
away up North. They'll be days in
catching up and finding us-if they
ever do find us" Poor Mrs. Swal-
|, v was almost in tears.
"Whish-sh-shw Something sped
past them with a great rush.
And we're being attacked by
some strange Bird" screamed Mrs.
Swallow, as the something turned
and darted back. But her fears van
ished as the something came nearer,
for it was Billy Belgium and General
Swallow. They had figured out
what had become of Peggy's air

Husband Bears Watching.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Will you kindly give me little ad-
vice as to what to do or say to my
husband? He is a garage man and
is rather f1irty with other girls. He
is a live wire and bears watching,
or at least l think so. l have kept
everything a secret until l get your
advice as to what to say to him, as
most girls like auto riding, and he
is very accommodating 1t seems
he loves me dearly and favors me in
every wish. I have five beautiful
children and he loves them all.
Please tell me how to prevent him
from taking other girls riding.
PATIENCE.
One can scarcely tell another how
to manage her husband, as men are
all different and respond to different
methods. However, there is one
pretty good rule, and that is, Don't
scold." Also, do not make threats
unless you intend to carry them out.
I should talk the matter over with
him as calmly as possible. Try to
make him see that he owes a duty to
you and the children. Even though
he may mean no harm by taking
girls for rides, he is apt to cause
talk that would be harmful both to
you and the children. Be sure you
are not overjealous before you dis
cuss the matter with him, and be
very sure not to lose your temper.
If you feel he is really interested in
other girls, try to find out what there
is about them he likes and then ac-

Boxing is Legalized in
 State Of New Jersey

panciers, and the slogan is: .''They Shall Not Pass"
 Remembering the wrangling and pickering that got the sport into hot water in New York, the New Jersey fistic fathers are going to put concerted, big, fiat foot down on all invaders. As a matter of self-pro- lection and as a protection to the sport that they have revived, they intend to confine all the Killkennies to the New Jersey magnates.
 Naturally there will be no objection to visiting talent. The best men in the ring will be asked to go to New Jer- sey to boom the sport.
 Two years ago, a law was enacted in New Jersey permitting four-round amateur bouts. Many attempts were made to make these bobtailed affairs popular, but the boxing enthusiasts failed to enthuse.
 They held that four rounds mean: nothing in f1stic competition so far as professionals were concerned, and Joseph Hurley in the New Jersey As sembly came to the rescue by intro- ducing the present bill.
 When it seemed certain that his bill would pass both Houses of the Legislature, the men supporting the bill claim that there was a hustle an6 a hustle among the New York pro moters who made inquiries abou charters, arenas and theatres with { view of taking a. hand in the new or der of things. This threatened bit O. poaching has filled the New Jerse. promoters with determination t keep out all neighboring promot CTS.
 Surrogate James F. Norton, unti his recent election a newspaper man said yesterday that the Hudson coun ty authorities would not tolerate ques tionable practices under the new law and if the sport was not properl, conducted, it would be done ava. l with immediately.

 Holman with his clever passing di- vided the llonors with Swenson, whc put up a wonderful game at guard and also ringing up a total of seven points. The formers work was the best seen on the floor this year. He ran down the floor at will and put them in the hoop from all angles. Swenson's guarding was also a fea- ture, breaking up plays one after an- other. His shooting was the best he has done this season.
 Powers and Sheets Wright had a session all of their own, playing hot on the ura1l or eacn otneF anu nedfly warming it up on no few occasions. The only shining light of the Nor

New York, March 6-Gov. Edge of New Jersey, signed the Hurley Boxing Bill yesterday, legallzrng boxing in that state.
 The bill which recently passed both Houses of the New Jersey Legis- lature, stipulates that boxing bouts of eight rounds duration may be con- ducted and that the principals must use eight-ounce gloves strict clause in the bill prohibits any bouts being held at a place in which liquor ! is sold. Each club which receives a charter will be asked to put up 3 : bond of $1O,00O as a guarantee that it will live up to the letter of the new law.
 The law requires a commission of three members and Gov. Edge will immediately make his selection. This commission will have entire control of boxing. They shall have the same power that was invested in the com mission which presided over the sport in New York state, though this new commission will act without compen- sation.
 Immediately upon the signing o1 the bill there was a scurry among the New York promoters and just as lively a bit of scurrying among the New Jersey promoters in order to head of any invasion of their preserves.
 There is nothing in the bill which will prevent an outside promoter from stepping in and hanging up his little sign but the men in New Jersey whc have fought for this bill for year! are in accord with the Pennsylvanie promoters as to New York fistic fl

FORDHAM NINE DECIDES TO TAKE
 SOUTHERN TRIP

New York, March 6-The Fordham University baseball management final ly decided in favor of a southern trip last night. Joseph Kinsley, > the manager of the team, thought the annual Easter tour would have to be abandoned when Georgetown earlier in the year announced that no home games would be played.
 The Bronxmen were scheduled to play two games with their Washing ton rivals. However, as one of the two games now arranged is with the Navy and the other is with the Mount St. Joseph nine, which is scheduled for a return game at Fordham Field, the Maroon manage ment thought it good policy to make the trip.
 Manager Kinsley has vainly tried to fill the one-day gap on April 5, with either a college or professional nine The trip will advance the opening oi the season several days The first home game will be played on April 10, with Columbia, in the initial tilt of a home-and- home series between the rivals.
