HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going
with a very nice young man in this
city. We think a great deal of each
other and he is very good to me, but
his one great fault worries me. He
is never on time. His excuses are all
ways good but can you tell me some
way to make him more prompt? Am
1 too particular? -f --
BLUE EYES. F.
The young mans fault certainly
must be annoying. Tell him how you
feel about his coming late. Say that
you are going to expect him to be
more prompt, but if he is late you do
not want him to make any excuses
or explafn-that the fact of his tardi-
ness is annoying and you do not want
the annoyance intensified by talking
about it L believe that when he
knows how you feel he will make
greater effort not to- displease you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Should I go
car riding with a young man seven
teen? am twelve. He is very nice
looking and kind. He takes me to
dances and socia1s and says he loves
me, and I love him.
My parents let me go and never OBJ
ject. I would hate to quit him. He
gives me presents for my birthday.
hope 1 won't have to quit him. What
shall I do? WORRIED.
If you were my child I would not
insist upon your giving up the boy
entirely, but 1 would want you to en-
terrain him at home and not go away
with him unless accompanied by older
people. You are very much too young
to go to dances and riding with him.

The outlook for general business is
highly encouraging, says a bulletin is
sued by the National City bank of Chi
cago. Immense merchandise sales are
being made to restock the shelves that
have been only sparsely filled since
the United States entered the list of
belligerent nations. That business is
being conducted for the most part con-
servatively is indicated by the satfs-
factory showing of commercial fail
ures and by the efforts of business
men everywhere to avoid undue risks.

A GOOD LAW IN DANGER.

A rider repeating the daylight saw
ing law has been placed on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. This was
done to satisfy that part of the farm
ing population which objects to the
new order. The farmers are far from
being unanimous in opposition to the
daylight saving law. But those who
do oppose it are so violent in their op-
position that they are in a fair way to
browbeat the members of congress
into submission. The only way to
cial and professional workers in every
village, town and city in the country
to get in touch with their congress
men, setting forth their desire that the
benefits of the law be continued.
Nobody, apparently, has yet made
clear wherein the daylight saving law
works any hardship on the farmers
that cannot be readily compensated by
a slight readjustment in farm work.
In some quarters it is doubted that the
farmers are the real motive power in
this movement for repeal.
One of the reasons for adopting the
daylight saving plan as a war meas
ure, to be sure, comments the Chris
tan Science Monitor. was that time
cultivation of the backyard gardens
which the government urged as a
means of increasing the food supply.
And backyard gardens may be said
to compete with the farms. But a
much graver reason, If memory is not
at fault, was the expectation that day
light saving would save coal at time
when saving coal was deemed to be i'm
perative.
According to figures given by the
United States fuel administration, the
first seven months of daylight saving
resulted in a saving of coal amounting
to 1.250,0O0 tons. In one community
of 100000 inhabitants the saving
was III II tons per 1000 of population.
The American Machinist published
figures from the Washington, D. c.,
Gas company showing similarly that
the people of the District saved $780,
009-pFt their gas bills, and on this basis
the annual conservation of gas for the
whole country would run into millions
Of dollars in value. The motive for
advocating daylight saving repeal,
therefore, might be more naturally at
tributed to the lighting companies and
the coal interests than to the farmer.
at least in default of frank explanation
of all the reasons behind the effort.
Whether it is the farmers, or the
lighting interests, OF the coal produc-
ers, who wish to see daylight saving
done away with, there is every evil
dence, short of an actual count, that
they are a small minority. And with
such bodies as chambers of commerce,
labor organizations and real estate
exchanges, backed by countless indi-
viduals representing widely varied oc-
equations. urging a continuance of the
plan in the public interest of econ
omy, health and greater production,
congress can hardly doubt that the
for repeal should be
voted down.

FISHING CURE.
Seemed like I couldn't stand 1t any more,
The factory whistles BLOWN day by day,

The faces Of the people seemed to be
Washed pale by tear5 o. grief an strife

The same old gloomy pictures of despair.
The windows of the shops all looked the
same,
Decked out with stuff their ownersswish-

When visitors across our doorway came
could recite the tales they'd have to
tell.
All things had lost their old time power

An so 1 traded chimney tops for trees,
An shingled roof for open skies of blue.
I dropped my tools and took my rod an

found the favorite restin' spot of mine
Where no one seeks for fortune or re-
nown. ~.

An built lot of castles in my dreams ::
An thanked the Lord for woods an run

I've cooked my meals before an open fire,

An now the path to duty I retrace.
I've had my little fishin' trip, and GO
Once more contented to the haunts Of

NE Lid.

Loom big around my new straw hat.
That flutters free from winds that blow.
The other day I bought a lid.
Twas made of straw, nobby tile.

And when twas there a little while
The unkind wind,
Which whined behind,
Toyed wild

I purchased me another lid,
And wore it only for to kid
The unkind wind,
Which whined behind,
For. meath the lid
A string was hid,
And when the breeze at last found out
1t conidn't blow me lid about
It got quite, blew.
Indeed It did,
Buhlieve me, kid.

only goes to show that people do have

delegates to break off negotiations

wholly unprepared for such action.
While no official statement has been
issued, it is asserted in competent
quarters that the rupture in the pro-

General Dufont, representing the
Entente, was quite as much surprised
as the Germans appeared to be when
the Poles called for an indefinite re-

Berlin Seeks in Vain to
Quell Insurgent Poles;
Severe Fighting Marks
Strikes Through District
Robbers Terrorize All
Soldiers Are Hunting Down
Rebel Strongholds and
Guard Mines From Mobs

WARSAW, Aug. 20-Martial law has
been declared by the German authori-
ties in upper Silesia, following fierce
engagements between insurgents and
Berlin troops. Dispatches here report
that the strike movement in that region
has assumed the character of a genuine
lnsurrection. The trouble is said to
have developed from Spartacde propa-
ganda on one side and by the provoca-
tive attitude of the German authorities
on the other.
The Polish insurgents are reported
to have obtained control of several i'm
portant places, including Kattowitz
Boiskow, Jedlin, Cichow and other
points
Workmen in certain districts are re-
ported to have been compelled to re-
sumo their places in factories under
threats of court martial.

Insurrection Spreads

BERLIN, Aug. 20 (By The Associated d
Press).-Dispatches printed in the
newspapers to-day indicate that the in
surrection in upper Siesia continues
to spread in the industrial sections
The German government, which is tenn
porarly in Weimar, on the other hand
has issued statement declaring that
the military auth critics are masters of
the situation
Rybnik, southeast of Bresau accord
ing to reports, has been the scene of
several clashes between government
troops and insurgents who are ATTEMPT
ing to force an entry into the city. In
the Beuthen and kattowitz districts
rioting is increasing, the reports saw
while the Glewitz district is calm. The
rural population, it is added, is being
victimized by bands of robbers which
include Spartacan agitators, as well as
Polish insurgents.
Mines Are Guarded
Reinforcements for the government
troops are being assigned to the work
of clearing out insurgent strongholds
for arms and placing military guards
at mines threatened by mobs.
Schomburg and Karf, it is reported
have been occupied by the troops, who
are moving on Orzegov, Godullschuette
and Lipins- Kamin. Their losses are
said to have been seven dead and seven
teen wounded.
Absolves Polish Government
Chancellor Bauer, addressing the
Assembly at Weimar on the Upper
Silesia-Polish revolt, said the situa
ton was better than had been reported
The Polish government, he asserted
was in no way connected with the re
volt and no regular Polish troops hao
been employed or encountered on Ger
man territory.
The Germans were masters of the
situation, DR.. Bauer added. He sale
from reports received the Polish in
surgents had not occupied Moslowitz
The only region where the insurgent
Poles had not been driven back OF
captured was east Of the Beuthen-
Tarnowitz line, and it was considered
unnecessary to send more reinforce
ments to Upper Silesia.
DIR. Bauer declared that the defeat
Of the insurgents was all the more
important because it meant also the
defeat of the Spartacans.
