rs a wonderful thing to look

girl.
And sometimes it is very helpful
to other girls to tell what one has
found there.
believe there are countless girls
whose anxieties are similar to
those of a young Washington cor
respondent of mine whose letter
1 am going to quote. And as MANI
OF these as possible l should like
to reach through my reply to her.
Her perplexity comes from the
contrast that exists between dream
youths, the knights of her i'm
agination, and the actual boys and
young men whom she enCouniCcs
in this prosaic, everyday world.

writes, 'and what l am telling you

to anybody else. You see, can
not bear to have people laugh 1T

is, l don't like boys in the least. !
am bored and uncomfortable when
/ am with them. / don't like the
way they look or act or think, or
the things they want to talk about
l don't understand them and I
know there isn't one Of them who
could understand me.
Don't you think that's very
strange?
Il do see them often, and
do go out with them. But, unlike
all my girl friends, I have a mis-
cradle time.
Dreams OF Ideal Youths.
Il would so much rather be with
girls or stay at home and read. Or
lust dream. And sometimes
dream about boys-when In
awake, l mean. Those I dream
of are lovely to look at, and they're
nicer in every way than | can tell
YOU. If could really know such
a boy | think should be very
happy.
please tell ME whether am
very unnatural"
My dear child. you are not un-
natural in the least. | should like
TO convince you Of that as
thoroughly as possible.
It is always true that the ma
iority of girls are interested il,
boys and at ease with them. And
il is always true. also, that there
Is a minority who have no impulse
whatever to accept the companion
ship of boys. who indeed greatly
prefer not to.

The final character of any rubber article

the use to which the article will be put,
and the work it will have to do. Then he
chooses from among a hundred varieties
of rubber and thousands of compounding
ingredients until, by experiment, he has
established the correct compound for
the required use.

1USI as good Hour is necessary
to make good bread, so only
y good quality rubber will make
good heels.
But good bread depends upon
more than good four-it depends
on the dough, or the mixture of
flour with other ingredients. It is
the same with rubber heels.
Rubber itself is an elastic, resilient
substance derived from the milky juice
Of certain tropical trees. In its crude
state it is not at all suited to practical use.
Heat and light are its natural enemies.
It becomes soft and taclky in hot weather
and stiff and brittle in cold Only by
mixing it with other ingredients, and then
''curing'' or baking it under pressure can
rubber be made really useful.
Why compounds " differ
The mixing or @'compounding'' process
is not the same, however, for all articles
made of rubber. Each of the 10000 diff
ferent rubber products in use today must
have individual characteristics to meet

MOVING PICTURES
ON MERCHANDISE

Every successful merchant in bust
ness at the present time is utilizing
every means possible to help him adj
vance and build up a better trade.
Realizing this, the Richmond Chamber
of Commerce has secured one of the
most instructive, educational moving
pictures ever put on the screen en-
titled, "The Troubles of a Merchant
and How to Stop Them" The pic
lures will be shown at the Alhambra
Theatre on Tuesday July Is, at $3.50
p. m.
The film is a three-reel Essanay
feature and is brim full of ideas re-
lating to retail business. 1t shows on
oldstyle store building, high windows
preventing a good display of goods,
bad arrangement of stock, lack of
proper management and no system,
which makes the clerks Indifferent
resulting in the proprietor almost be-
coming failure. The scene changes,
however, when the merchant conclud-
es to adopt systematic store takes on
an attractive appearance, goods are
displayed so they will attract the at
tention of the customer, the clerks be-
come more valuable through courteous
and prompt attention to the trade
in fact, there is such a transforma-
ton that new customers are attracted
to the store, and the merchants again
become prosperous.
Mr.. r. H. Kennedy will lecture with
the pictures. By aid of stereopticon
slides, he will deal with the following

Threw Baby From Car To Save 1t

The 14-months-old son of Mrs.
Grover Wise, of Shelbyville, probably
was saved from serious injury, maybe
death, in an auto collision, by the
presence of mind Of Ruby Belden, 10
years old, who threw the infant out
of an automobile in which she, with
the baby and Mrs. Wise We're riding.
The girl saw that the collision with
another car was inevitable. The
baby was not hurt. Immediately
after tossing the baby out Of her
arms the girl jumped and fell in front
of the machine. Her thigh was in
jured; Mrs. Wise was thrown out of
the car, but escaped serious injury.

David Lawrence, the noted
Washington correspondent says
that President Wilson can have
the Democratic nomination for a
third term, without opposition if
he wants it. Of course, but we
do not believe that he wants it,
nor do we believe it would be
wise to seek to nominate him
again, notwithstanding, that he
is undoubtedly the greatest exec
utive this country has known
since Lincoln and history will in
future years give him the place
among the great men of the
world which he has so certainly
won the right to have. However,
the third term precedent is very
strong and a man like William G..
McAdoo can carry on the work
that lies ahead as safely and
courageously as Wilson or any
one. Both parties are right now
looking about for presidential
timber, and for one the Daily
Register believes that McAdoo
is far and away the strongest
and ablest man that the Demo-
Gratis have available.
