HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS t
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a girl
friend who is seventeen and engaged
to a soldier. She talks and worries
about him most of the time. I am
popular among my friends. because of
my cheerfulness. She thinks that
should be serious since so many boys
have been both taken away and killed.
1 think of our dear boys lover there"
as much as anyone and 1 have felt
the war; but isn't it all right to be
cheerful about it? feel sorry for
! her. but 1 can't tell her anything to
comfort her.
From my letter do you think have
the right idea of life?
You and your friend have very diff
ferent temperaments. From her point
of view you are too gay and superb
cial, while you consider her too seri-
Gus and pessimistic. Probably neither
of you has struck a balance. She
needs more joy in her nature, and
you need to settle down and realize
that life has a very serious side.
1t is not wise to think constantly of
the boys who are suffering from
wounds and the Inconvenience of
war, OF to brood about the boys who
have given up their lives. But you
must try to be more sympathetic and
realize what it would be to have a
brother or one you loved dearly lover
there"
Your view of life will be in constant
change. AS you live and gain expert
ence you will naturally become more
serious. OF course the quality of
| cheerfulness is the greatest asset in
life.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There are a
great many boys in the army whom
1 know, yet 1 write to none. Would
| it be all right for me to ask the moth
err of one of the boys for his address
| and write? d. A.
| The boy should write to you first.
| Do not ask his mother for his address.
Dear Mrs Thompson: How can
we become acQuain-ed with some nice
! young men who will take US to erter-
tainments while our friends are in the
army? RUTH AND MABEL
| There are not many young men 70
meet these days. If you attend church
or school you should be able to meet
! q few there.

LET. US HAVE ROADS.

President Wilson has been requested
by the Detroit Automobile club i'm
mediately to take action looking to the
appointment of a congressional COM
mittee to investigate the highway stu
alton in the United States with view
to making recommendations "as to a
comprehensive federal highway sys-
tenn and as to the feasibility of imme-
date work being started upon the
construction of such a system.
The Detroit club sent its request to
the president in the form of a memoir
ial in which special emphasis Is placed
upon the present inadequacy of the
highways of the nation as a whole as
twenty months, and the proven value
of hard-surfaced, dependable high
ways, not only for service in time of
war. but as a necessity in time of
peace.
Facts and figures, based upon prac-
tical experience and upon actual,
scientific tests and experiments, are
cited to show the superior advantages
of hard-surfaced roads over highways
actual monetary saving. to say moth
ing of the saving of time in transport
ing passengers and merchandise.
One of these tests. the results of
which were placed before the presi-
dent. was with 2-ton truck on g. TO-
mile stretch of concrete roadway and
upon a similar length of ordinary
road. In making the distance on the
concrete road the truck consumed five
quarts of fuel, as against eight and
one-half quarts required to make the
ten miles over the ordinary road; and
the time for the trip was fartytwo
minutes over the concrete road as
against eighty-four minutes over the
dirt highway.
In its appeal to the president the
automobile club makes thei point
that
VThe pulse of the nations progress
and prosperity beats thru its arteries
of transportation-fts railroads, its
steamship lines. and it's highways; OF
these three, the highways come most
closely into contact with all the peo-
pie"

stitution. might, it seems. be easily re.
diverted into peaceful and constructive
channels. The country stands more
greatly in need of highway develop.
ment than of development in almost
any other line. What better use coulG
be made of the country's money and
labor than to apply them to the con.

quently disregarded as to make it look
ridiculous. The Individual who has
an aversion to the purchase of Hun

to embrace boyoetting as a policy
would expose US to the charge of little

MOVING ON CONGRESS.

The labor unions are reported to be
moving upon congress in solid phalanx
! with the purpose of bringing about
government ownership of railroads or
perpetuating federal operation. If the
continuation of the existing situation
they might better have vot{d the way
President Wilson asked them to vote
at the recent election. He gave them
a tip when he asked for the return of
a Democrat congress. The election
returns indicate that his request was
ignored by the workers in general and
railroad employees in particular.
President Wilson. finding himself
about to be, confronted by a congress
over which he can exercise little or no
control. In his annual message washed
his hands of the whole railroad prob
lem and turned 1t over to congress.
leaving it to that body to do with it
what it will.
Actuated probably by similar con-
siderations, and it may be even by
feelings of disappointment and dis
gust. Director General McAdoo also is
about to retire from the field.
The labor unionss and especially the
railway brotherhoods. have been well
| treated by the administration, and
poorly have they requited it. 1t is not
remarkable that the president and the
director general should suddenly lose
interest in a cause in which their eff
forts were shown so slight evidence
of appreciation.
When the railroads pass back to
the owners. which event now seems
likely to take place at no distant date,
they probably will again be turned
over to the tender mercies of the in
terstate commerce commission. If the
commission pursue the poicy which
has characterized itin the past, it will
promptly cut down rates. in which
case the roads will be compelled to re-
duce wages or go ipto bankruptcy.
Even with the present high rates they
have not been able to make ends meet,
but there are indications that they
may ultimately be able to show a
profit if the existing situation be per-
mitted to continue.
There appears to be rough sailing
ahead for the transportation business,
whatever course shall be taken.

WORLDS Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Reformation Of P.rcats.-i.


Not long ago in discussing the Ques-
ton of corporal punishment in schools
the superintendent of education5 OF an
eastern school, declared it was tne
parents of bad children who should
he whipped instead of the children
themselves, for it was the parents VINO
were responsible for sending to schooi
the unruly and uncomfortable boys
and girls. the impossibility of dealing
with whom on any other platform
than that of physical fear had brought
up again the problem of reinstating
the rod IN the school room.
Never was there a truer or q wiser
thing said. and the most crying need
of the day is for some humanitArien
! to start a movement for the reform OF
parents. They need it more than any
other class of people in the world.
No other such crime is being COM
mitted as the way in which children
! are being reared. and life offers no
other moral phenomenon SO strangs
and SO inexplicable as the attitude
that intelligent, refined, upright, noble
people take on this subject.
One can easily understand that
| criminal parents might raise up q
| brood of young criminals to prey upon
| society, without giving the wrong they
| are doing to the community a single
| regretful thought. One can under
stand how the ignorant, unrefined
mothers and fathers of the slurns.
where a whole family is herded to-
gether in one room, might rear up
children who are little savages with no
regard for anybody else's right, or
comfort, or property.
One can understand how hoodium
| mothers and fathers can bring up
!; hoodlum children with neither man
ners nor courtesy, nor any regard for
the amenities of life.
| But when men and women who are
gentlemen and ladies themselves. who
are schooled in all the graciousness
to flaunt the decencies OF life in the
face, and to rutiriessly trample upon
the comfort and peace of everybody
| who 10 unfortunate enough to come
within their range, the matter be-
comes one for the investigation of the
alienist, and the interference of the
police.
So far as the victim Of the modern
child can see, when people pass into
the blessed estate of parenthood a
miracle is wrought whereby they be-
come deaf and blind to what their
own children do, and dumb SO far as
! correcting them is concerned.
Every woman who has to ride in the
street cars has daily illustration of
1 how willing mothers are to sacrifice
the good clothes OF other women IL
tit affords their own children the
slightest enjoyment. Children with
muddy little shoes are encouraged to
kneel on the seats, and wipe their feet
on the frocks Of every passerby. Chill
| dren eating bananas and candy smear
i their devastating way as they go, and
| mothers smile eerenely at the wreck
| they leave behind. Johnny and Susie
have a good time. As for the tfavel-
ing public, mothers should worry!

Leo A. Sullivan, yeoman second
class, U. s. N. r. F., distinguished
himself for gallant conduct recently
when an unknown man, a passenger
on a carrying launch plying Humboldt

while in an intoxicated condition.
Without hesitation. Sullivan went in
after the struggling civilian, and althQ
the tides in these waters are very
strong and extremely cold at this sea-
son, succeeded in bringing the man
safely on board.
Sullivan enrolled June IL, 1917. His
mother, Mrs. Laura Ellen Scammell,
lives at 70S College avenue. Santa
