over to see them, but do not know
how I can get rid of the boy without
hurting their feelings. . . In an

IL can sympathize with your
predicament, for if the boy is really
weak-minded, it would be impossible,
almost, to discourage his calling by
any methods that would impress
normal young man that he was un-
welcome. If he does no real harm, l
snppOse the only thing is to grin
you and your sisters, but surely you
can always find excuses to persuade
him you are busy or have engage
ments so that, if deprived of the en-
tertainment of your society, he will
gradually find less attraction. in
your home, and may cease his visits.

isn't it? Why not ask your eldest

Yes it is all right for girls to go
with boys at night if they come
home early, but they should not lock

I would be grateful if you will
answer my questions. Is it consid-
cred "mushy" to let a boy kiss you
at a party? Is it considered proper
to let a boy act ''mushy" when you
are newly acquainted? Would it
lessen a boys liking for you to let
him act 'mushy" around you? How
should you entertain a boy. at your
home at the age Of IS years?
I always considered it far better
for a girl never to allow a boy to
kiss her, at a party or elsewhere
until she has found the man she
loves and is engaged to be married
to him. The average American boy
usually entertains a more wholesome
respect for the girl who does not
allow familiarities, though most
young boys delight to try a girl cut
to see just hove much she will allow
1t is often fun for a girl to ask
another girl and two boys to come

can sing, play the piano, make candy
or play cards, if their families ap

Agriculture is the oldest of occupations

only be equalled by the love of science OIL

However to realize the joy and beauty

SCRAP SAVING PLANS

WASHINGTON, May 14-Communi-
ty saving Of waste materials, now de-
Ftroyed annually BY the millions OF
tons. is to be fostered by the United
States government. The materials TO
be thus redemeeded consist OF articles
which housewives throw cut for the
freshmen to remove n which, 1t IS
estimated, amounts annually In Ameri-
can cities to approximately IL tons for
every 1000 Of population.
The start is to be made up In New
England, where branch offices will be
established in every village, town and
city. Local waste reclamation councils
will be established in each Of these
communities and these will cooperate
with each other and with the waste
reclamation service Of he department
uT commerce.
Each local council will establish dis
titcts and assign a representative for
each district, These district represon-
tatives will he the agents authorized to
purchase h waste and payments
therefor win be made in war savings
and thrift stamps. In this way house
wives and "storekeepers will be able TO
dispose Of refuse without %inconven-
ence or trouble. Yards where junk and
waste thus acquired may be assembled
and packed for shipping will be rented
and the materials will be sold AS has
been done with the army salvage.
The list of things to be thus con-
served include rags of all kinds, books,
magazines, paper, paper bags, paste
board containers, iron, steel, copper.
brass, tinfoil and rubber,
The value OF general conservation
was demonstrated during the war, but
1t is declared il is fully as necessary
