Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 16
years old and in love with boy
of 81. He tells me he loves me and
has asked me to marry me. I told
him 1 was too young and would not
think of even being engaged until l
was at least 20. This boy has now
stopped coming to my home and
goes with other girls. But he sees
me every week and renews his Of
fer. / love this boy and do not
want to lose him. But still do
not want to be tied down by being
engaged while I have not yet out
grown my girlhood. Please advise
me. UkELELE PEGGlE.
You show very good judgment in
not becoming engaged to a man
while you are still so young. If
the man really loves you he will
wait until you are of a proper age,
and If he does not wait you can be
sure you would never be happy
with him if his love is so unstable.
There are too many responsibilities

Lesson of the Moline Fire.

Yesterdays Moline fire should at least serve as a
warning leading to preventive measures in the three
cities. Another time there might not be such good
fortune in avoiding loss of life.
Fire Chief Schmtt reports considerable careless
ness Island business district with respect
to permitting accumuations of waste materials in
Easements and empty store not infrequently
near gas pipes meters. Wfully inviting disaster
in this is inexcusabe after attention has been
so wildly called to the folly and danger.
Another thing that the Moline fire emphasizes is
the Importance of sort of fire drill or instruc
ton among employees in large establishments. For
tanately the New York store workers kept their
heads and made their escape without panic. Had
there been rush the fire escapes at the ele-
vator there would have been fatalities, without a
doubt 1t is not wise, however to always trust alone
to good and fortuitous circumstance.

to do is to get up at 6 O'Clock in
the morning when it is nice and

When you have arrived at the most
interesting part of this game, the

six instead of five. the bugle blows

problem is whether to finish the
hammock and be reported late for

reported for not having finished
your hammock. The time spent
in considering this problem usual

and in failing to accomplish either,
getting reported on two counts.
Any enlisted man is entitled to play
this game and he is sure of making

dance; then he interprets a bird
and we all flutter back at him.
This being done to his apparent
satisfaction, we proceed to crawl
and grind and weave and wave in
most extraordinary manner. This
is designed to give US physical

graceful and pleasing manner At

Secrecy at Versailles.

We are glad though, that the American delegates
have gone on record as against such procedure.

of doubt whether those who temporarily direct

of disposition or ability apply such knowledge to
he profit of democratic government, for which we
all were supposed to have been fighting.
The world is extremely anxious to know what Is
done at Versailles and also how it is done, and why
It is the worlds business and everybody is paying the
bill Of course there will be no serious objections
TO secret committee meetings and Investigations but
there should be chance for open discussion of every
question and press representatives should not be
barred at the time of formal adoption.
The peace conference surely does not hope to put
ANYTHING over by secretive methods. If it perpe-
trates njustices they will have to be reckoned with
later and it will be thresh them out now, or
even fight out necessary, than to defer their

Plants and Pure Air.

The proportion OF carbon dioxide
| in the atmosphere is a trifle more
! than three parts in 10000. The air
exhaled from the lungs contains
about 440 parts of carbon dioxide in
10000. The lungs absorb oxygen
from the air and give off carbon
dioXide from the blood.
The proportion of carbon dioxide
| in the air, contrary to former be-
lief, has little or nothing to do with
the purity of the air or the question
of fresh air, as it is called. The air
in bTeweries has been found to con-
tain as much as 1000 parts of car
BON dioxide in 10000 without caus-
ing any of the unpleasant symptoms
which we know foul air produces.
All growing vegetation takes up
carbon dioXide from the air, under
the influence of sunlight and chlor-
Cphyl (the green coloring matter of
piants), to build carbohydrates (su-
CARS and starches and woody fibre)
Oxygen is given off by vegetation
This maintains the balance OF oXy
gen and carbon dioxide in the at
mosphere. Water also absorbs car
bon dioxide, taking up it's own vol
ume OF the gas.
During vigorous exercise a man
produces 10 times as much carbon
dioxide as he gives of while at rest.
An ordinarily active adult dis
charges about one cubic foot of car
bon dioxide in an hour; whereas an
ordinary gas jet gives off three
cubic feet in an hour. A small gas
or oil heater in a room uses up as
much oxygen and gives OF as much
carbon dioxide as 80 men. The
necessity of connection with the
chimifey flue when such heaters are
used is obvious.
Growing plants in porous earthen
pots do tend to purify the atmos-
phere in a room, by taking up car
bon dioxide and giving off pure oxy-
gen. But that is minor feature,
unless the room is veritable bow
or of plants. The great value of
growing plants in the home or in
the sick room in the winter time
is the humidifying effect. Consid-
cradle quantities of moisture are
given off from porous flower pots
IN which plants are growing and
as is well known. the great evil of
artificially heated indoor atmos-
pnere is its excessive dryness.

Oil, it is claimed when used for period of years,
changes the texture of the soil that it will not
pack and treatment is known by which its adj
