ElOpers.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are young couple, IS years
old, and are contemplating clipping.
We have been going together two
years and love each other desperate
! ~. Our folks object to our going
together and we would like for YOU
to suggest some means by which we
could elope. Do you think 1t ad-
visable? We have finished high
school and think we could get a soft
snap so that we could make a Iiv-
ing. What kind of a wedding ring
should be used and where do you
secure the license? Are they ex-
pensive? Do you know a remedy to
make anyone quit cigarets?
Please answer right away, as we
are serious and am waiting to hear.
Thanking you for this favor, we re-
main, READERS.

Engagements,


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee
We are two girls, s years old. We
have dark hair and eyes and con.
sidered beautiful and are popular
We are five feet four inches tan,
How should we wear our hair and
how long should we wear our
dresses?
We are engaged to two young men
two years our seniors, when we go
with other boys they get peeved. Is
this right?
When a girl moves is it right for
her to write to her boy friends first
to give them our address?
If girl should lose her engage
ment ring, what should she do?
How is our writing?
DOTTY AND POLLY.
Girls of 15 should wear their hair
down and their dresses rather short.
The 17-year-old suitors should not
be peevish when you go out with
other boys. You are all too young
to marry and will change your minds
a dozen times before you are old
enough to consider matrimony Sc
riously. Why bother about writing
to the boys in another town? It's
foolish. If you lose your engagement
ring look for it.

Heart Beats

By A. K.
A lot of women
Write to our friend
Beatrice Fairfax
And ask her how
To make some extra
Money
With which to buy
Shoestrings or something
They often say
Their husbands are
Greek gods n things
And that they
Worship them
And all OF that
But still
One little fault
They do not give
Them any money
Although they cook
And wash and scrub
To make the home
A perfect delight
But of course
Dear ladies
This work is supposed
To be a labor
Of love
But sometimes
Even love becomes
A poor paymaster
And hard taskmaster
And the soul of
These devoted wives
Cries aloud
Yea, it even screams
For a nickel or two
To spend foolishiy
Without having to
Check it on
The Statement"
For O. X. at the
End of each month.
Miss Fairfax
Gives good advice
But | like to
Chip in my word
Or two
For l just happened
On to a tip
And it may be welcomed
BY many women
Who want nickel
Once in a while
1t is mending corsets
For the department
Stores
And small shops
Or any place where
Corsets are sold
Or made or repaired
It's easily done
And there is plenty
OF this work in Omaha
And other towns.
If I've beaten

Advice

WINNIPEG SITUATION
CLIMAX OF UNREST

WINNIPEG. Manitoba, June S.-The
general strike in Winnipeg and the
demonstrations by labor forces in other
cities have come as the climax to la
tional unrest which has been apparent
since last fall. 1t Is known that the
dominion government has been investi-
eating the situation in every province
since the first of the year.
Government officials and executives
OF the Winnipeg central strike commit
tee differ sharply over the causes OF
industrial unrest. The strike eXeCu-
tives, in public addresses and state
ments, ave charged that the high cost
Of living and dominion wide profiteer-
ing forced labor to use every force at
its command to fight for downward re-
vision of the cost of necessities and
upward revision Of wages.
Representatives of the dominion,
provincial and municipal governments,
have admitted that the cost OF living
has continued to soar since the armt-
stice was signed. Senator Gideon Rob
ertson, minister OF labor, and Arthur
Meighen, minister Of the interior, have
declared that a federal investigation
Of alleged food boarding, speculation
n profiteering is in progress.
Government officials have charged
that labor agitators ave used the high
cost of living as q curtain behind which
they constructed a national scheme to
obtain complete control Of labor in the
dominion by supplantlng the present
trades council systems, IN the various
cities, with the Russian plan of u one
big union.

Lieut., James A. Connors testified to-
day at the opening OF the fourth week

against the Chicago Tribune, that he
had been told by Frank L. Kingen-
smith, general manager of the Ford
Motor company, and John R. Lee, one
OF the directors, that all employees Of
the company who went with the ma
tional guard to the Mexican border
would be reinstated upon their return
and that their dependents would be
looked after during their absence.
The Tribune editorial OF June 20, 1916,
was based in part on n new dispatch
from Detroit dated June Il, to the
effect that the Ford Motor company
would not hold positions open, care for
dependents, nor pay sa.aries of en-
ployes who followed the colors to the
Rio Grande.
Asked by Weymouth Kirkland, at
torney representing the defendant, If
he put the name of the Ford Motor
company among the names Of other
firms placarded on the wall Of the De-
troit armory as having pledged them
selves to reinstate employees who en-
listed and the care of their dependents,
