Cold Storage of Food
Defended by Swift & Co.

Chicago. Feb. 15-Carrying of large
stocks in cold storage was defended
vigorously by Swift and Company
here tonight Answering a charge,
originating in the Chicago city coun-
ell, that 2,6OO, 900 pounds of beef had
been found stored away in one of the
Swift Company's warehouses here,
the company said such stores really
reduce high prices in the long run.
If large quantities Of meats now
held in storage were suddenly re-
leased there would be slight de-
crease in prices, the statement said,
but there would soon be a noticeable
shortage and prices would rise again.

employers home for dinner. and

am beginning to think that she IS
interested in me.
Would it be proper for me to ask
her to 20 to a theater with me-
and how should I so about It? Or
should 1 wait till she invites me TO
her home? I am very anxious to
have her as my friend becauee l
have no girl friends, and II did
really meet the one could like;
life would probably look better TO
me. Her father, my employer, likes
me very much and treats me like
his son. A FRIEND.
1 should say that you had an
uncommonly radiant prospect.
Since your employer is 30 friendly
and the young lady herself so frank
in her liking for you, why need you
be timid? BY all means invite her
to the theater IL you wish to. You
might write her q note Of invita-
ton. or telephone her II you pre-
fer, and at the same time ask hsr
what play she would like TO see.

He IS about nifty years old.
A CONSTANT READER
This is a problem you must
handle very carefully. No doubt
your employer thinks Of you aS
scarcely more than q child and
offers gifts in pure friendliness.
For this reason you will wish to be
very frank and cOnsiderate in
your manner. But be prompt 70
discourage any other spirit in
him and decline firmly to accept
gifts that have any value. You
can tell him, no doubt with per-
feet truth, that your mothes does
not allow you to receive gifts Of
value. A situation of this sort is
always so hard for q young girl
to manage that / warmly sympa-
thize with your perplexity.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For the last eight months l have
been very much in love with a man
two years my senior. am nine
teen years of age. My mother has
always doubted him because some
one told her that his left arm is a
little smaller than his right. He
says that the doctor told him that
his arm Is o X and will never trou-
bic him. I suggested to mother that
we go TO a fortune tellar and fnd
out, and the fortune teller told US
that when my friend gets older he
will not be able to use his arm.
Therefore, mother wants US to
break our friendship.
Now. Miss Fairfax, love this
man very dearly. and he returns
my love- so / want to know from
you what to do.

You were a foolish girl to think
Of accepting the judgment Of any
one but a doctor on a matter Of
this sort. If you haven't con-
fidence in the young mans own
physician why not ask him to
consult some other doctor recon-
mended by you? But, II you are
50 deeply in love with the young
man, and he Is eligible otherwise,
why does your mother regard an
impaired left arm as an obstacle
to your marriage with him, even
though he may earn his living
with his hands. Men have led
useful and successful lives with
