Advice to the Lovelorn
NOT YET ENGAGED

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am twenty, in love with a man
ten years my senior. He is a man
of wealth, and l am sure that he re-
turns my love. but owing to the OBJ
jections of his family. as. I am poor
working girl, he has not yet asked
me to marry him. although he has
told me of his love. ...
Now. my dear Miss Fairfax, do you
think he means to marry me?
BESs.
Such a situation as YOU describe
is always more completely in the
hands of the woman than the man or
his family realize. There is rather
n crude phrase that describes it,
known as playing your cards well,'
of which you probably know the
meaning as we'll as I.
You must not let the difficult situa-
ton in which you are placed discour-
age you-you must have endless la
tience, tact and good humor. At the
same time you must be absolutely CIR
cumspect. and, above all things, do
not let your heart run away with your
head. 1t is the level-headed girls
who win, rather than their more i'm
petuous sisters.

SEEK AGENCY
HERE FOR SALE
OF AIRPLANES

That Americus sooner or later
probably sooner-is to have an
agency for the sale Of airplanes to
civilians, was the information that
developed today following the visit
here yesterday by plane Of y. H.
Johnson and Rico Botta, of the
Johnson Curtiss AeropIane COM
pany, Of Montgomery, for the pur-
pose of making preliminary arrange
ments for the establishment of such
an agency. Although 70 announce
ment was made, it was understood
that negotiations were entered into
that will probably result IN the plac-
ing of the branch here.
Both men, who are old experienc-
ed flyers, were insistent that Ameri-
Gus by all means should have a pub
lie landing field near the city.
''The landing field at Souther Field
is excellent" said Mr. Johnson, "but
it is too far away from the city for
convenience. We landed thcre and
were four hours finding a way to
reach the city.
There is also another oonsidera-
ton, fully as important. Souther
Field is a government institution,
and civilian flyers are trespassers ev-
cry time they use that feld, 1t is
not intended for civilian use, and it
is embarrassing to officers in charge
for it to be so used
Mr.. johnson was formerly lieu
tenant in the air service and was
stationed ct Houston, Tex, when
Dan Casprcll was flyer at that
post few months ago. He called
on Mr.. Chappell and the two spent
several hours in a pleasant private
reunion. Mr.. Botta was formerly in
the naval air service. Both are en-
rhusiastic over the prospects of the
development of the airplane, and de-
clare it will rapidly come into gem
eral use, just as the automobile has
done.

]. H. Roscoe, division chairman of
the Southern Association Of Bell
Telephone Employees, has been here
for few days to assist the local enl-

pany is forming a local organization
to become a part of the association
recently formed.
The 10000 workers of the South
ern Bell and Cumberland companies
decided to form an organization, con
trolIed and officered by the em-
pIoyes themselves, which would pro-
vide method of handling a single or
collective matters, or differences, eff
fecting the relations between indi-
viduals or group employees, which
were not adjusted through the usual
annels.
The operators, stenographers, line
men, clerks and workers in all
branches of the eleven states where
these companies operate hold meet
ngs all over the territory and ballot
ing was made through the mails to
select delegates SO that ali employees
had an opportunity to vote for their
choice.
The delegates elected IN such 10
cal meetings held district conferences
and these district conferences
through their representatives held di-
vision conferences. The various di-
vision conferences sent delegates to
a general convention in Atlanta and
this convention finally adopted a
constitution which Is the basis of this
association.
No dues are required The mem
bership is limited to white empoy-
es who have been with the company
for at least six months, but the OPP
GRAFTON of this association will not
Interfere in any way with the right
of any employe, whether member
OF the association on not, to have ans
complaint considered and adjusted
through the regular channels of the
company, nor does membership in
this association affect in any way
the right of any employe to belong
to any other organization whatever.
1t is thought that the telephone
employees by so organizing will have
provided a method of bringing up
and adjusting differences with those
in managerial positions in the com
rany on a basis Of fairr, IS and jus
tice to all parties, always having in
vicw the paramount interest of eh,
