Club Helps Aching hearts

Dear Cynthia-Tho Keeping Up Hope
Club is a good idea for many aching
hearts. would cite the case of per-
son | know of who is still keeping up
hope. The young woman had a slight
Irritation with a man-an actor. Be
cause actors are supposed to be enter
tanning professionally, friendly perhaps.
she smiled to that man. thinking he
might smile in return to chase away
her blues at that particular time. and
after while she went home and forgot
all about the actor. She never dreamed
she would get into trouble on account
Of passing smile But that smile
brought her great misfortune and in
time things came to such pass that
certain people talked about her. How
ever, the girl is still hoping people will
come to their right senses and see the
injustice of their attitude toward her.
THELMA.
I am glad the Keeping Up Hone
Club was able to extend this practical
help and hope the sun soon shines
again for this young girl

that it's not a very good thing to let
the boys kiss you. am glad to hear
that there are several girls that won't

girls for kiss. It is to see what kind
of girls you are. especially those who
meet fellow for the first time and
permit When the time comes for nc
to get wife the first thing we think
is does she know how to cook. sew
and do general housework. That's the

nice supper? Look out, boys. whom you
pick out when the time comes. What

Fighter Wins CITIZENSHIP

To the Editor Of WOrrdn'S Page:
Dear Madam-My buddy and I had
discussion this morning over one of
our close friends. We hope that YOU
can solve our problem.
If a person Of foreign birth had a
stepfather who was naturalized before
his stepson was eighteen years of age,
would that entitle him to citizenship
without getting out citizen papers?
Also is this party entitled to citizen
ship because he fought for this country Z
| think he is, because he volunteered
when this country entered that con
flagration and served two years in the
army. AL AND LOUIS.
The answer to your first question
can not be definitely given. because the
highest courts have never made a final
decision on whether or not the step
child is entitled to citizenship through
his stepfather. Some courts have acted
favorably on the matter and others
have not. Ordinarily, the only thing
for boy placed in this position is
to file his petition with the bureau OF
naturalization and then have the court
that has jurisdiction make an individual
ruling.
But your friend comes under another
ruling. Any boy who has taken part
in the war just ended and who has
an honorable discharge from the United
States army may be naturalized without
cost and without proof of his five years
citizenship in this country. He need
only present himself to the examiner
at the bureau of naturalization and
may be naturalized Immediately on his
presenting two witnesses to identify
him. These must be citizens of the
United States. The boy goes to Room
40S, Postoffice Building, Ninth and
Market streets.

Dear Madam have had very sore
eyes but now they are better. But I

there anything that I can do to make

MARTHA B.
A little vaseline applied faithfully to
the eyelashes for long time is said to
make them grow. Be careful not to get
any Of it in your eyes, and use the
pure white vaseline. You might say
something to the doctor who treated
your eyes to see if there is any reason
why you shouldn't use the vaseline.

The Real Kind Of Love

Dear Cynthia-I should like very
much to know whether it is true that
one always knows, after n short time,
whether one is really in love with n
man. Isn't it perfectly possible to grow
to love a man, even if one has thought
one cared for some one else before: One
couldn't call the first loving by deter
mination, could she? PERPLENED.
Personally. | believe that learning to
love by growing to love is the realest
way. One is very often mistaken about
the quality of feeling for the first
man" 1t seems to me this might prove
very interesting topic for readers to
give opinions on. Which is the most
dependable kind of love-that which it
takes one n long time to recognize or
that which shows itself Immediately?

would not approve? 1t is hard to be
a spoil sport, but it is really not good
to be playing kissing games, especially
with married people. There is no actual

YOU that the sweetest most adorable
baby can lose bit of its cunning ap-
pearance if it's ears stick out. And
the older that baby grows the worse it
will look, until, when it grows up, its
friends will say. "John's such a nice
boy. It's a shame his ears stick out. "
There is a cap which comes that will
help considerably to keep the baby s
ears firm against his little head. 1t is
made of cool, porous net, and over each
ear is piece of tape. 1t is just tight
enough to hold the ears firm without
doing bit of harm. The price is fifty
cents.
What are the advantages of this
coat hanger?' asked the salesgirl. "In

REFUTES LODGE VIEWS
Does Not Confirm Report
. Democrats Are Aligned
In Opposition.

The treaty is not dead. according
to- senator Hitchcock. the Admins
tration Senate leader. notwithstand-
jng the declaration of Senator Lodge,
the lender of the opposition to the
contrary.
Senator Hitchcock yesterday showed
himself to be full Of fight in views he
Expressed.
when Senator Lodge said the
treaty was dead" Mr.. Hitchcock
said. he meant that his resolution
WIN be beaten. Perhaps he thinks
that this would be the treaty but II
will not. When this resolution is
beaten we can offer q resolution of
Ratification ourselves. II that be
beaten then We may get a compro-
misc under which tho treaty may go
through. II compromise he impos-
sible then there will be a ncw situa-
tion but there is certainly none to-
day.
1T there be no compromise and no
treaty it Is manifest that the situa-
tion then created will be bad. 1t
would cause a dislocation Of the
whole peace settlement. II would
weaken immeasurably The efforts to
bring about the kind of peace that all
desire. In that respect failure Of the
United States to act would have an
extremely adverse effect on condi-
tions in Europe, as the best settle
ment Of course is predicated on the
corporation Of the United States.
D "I think there would be several
grave difficulties in the event that
1t would be necessary to make a
treaty with Germany alone. In the
nrst place this present treaty was
exscted of Germany by force. II
We proposed now to negotiate a
treaty with Germany the principals
to that convention would be equals.
Force apparently would be out of
the question. We have only about
1000 of a military force in Europe
today and that under circumstances
of, grave disagreement would be
simply no force at all.
1T is certain, however. that what
Germany has agreed to do was
forced by the armies of the allies
and of the United States. Whal
Germany would do if that obliga-
tion imposed by force Is eliminated
no one can tell"
He seems to be committed to the
idea that il would be useless to at
tempt a separate treaty with Ger
many unless the United States had
the fighting force on. the ground
TO force Germany to stand by ths
obligations which she agreed to un-
der the present treaty of peace.
Hitchcock could not confirm the
report that Senator Underwood had
notified Senator Lodge that thirty
Democrats will vote against the
resolution. That is not like I'm
derwood." Mr.. Hitchcock said. land
7 doubt II any such notification has
been sent"
