Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
The Penalty of Filtration

Dear Miss Fairfax:
L am girl of twenty and deeply
in love with q man two years my
senior, and 1 felt my love was re-
ciprocated until about six months
ago. Up to that time he used to
visit me very often. But now his
visits are one or two months apart,
and each time accompanied by an
excuse.
1 believe this change can be ac-
counted for as follows: l met q man
through Irritation, and found out
that he knew the friend of whom
have spoken. So l invited him to
visit me at my home, where we and
another couple spent a quiet even
ing. The next time 1 saw my friend
l told him l had met a friend of his,
put L found he already knew the
whole story He said he didn't
think much of girl who fiirted and
the man wasn't the kind I'd like to
know. l Immediately severed ali
relations between this new acquaint-
ance and myself without further
Now Miss Fairfax, 1 still care for
this friend and L want to know what
ought l to do.
Your story really has glaring
moral, hasn't it? If q girl wishes
to retain the love and respect of a
man, she ought not to ALLEVIATE him
by flirting with strangers. But in
your case, since you realized and
admitted and L suppose, regretted
your indiscretion, 1 think your
friend, if he fully understood your
attitude, might have been more toll
Grant. Frankly, 1 don't think he is
justified. Since you are still in love
with him, / wish / could help you,
but the only thing you could do
would be to go over the whole sub
Ject with him the next time you see
him. But 1 don't feel certain that
would result as you wish.

Appeal For New Road.

A party OF 81 interested persons
from Union Bridge, New Windsor and
Uniontown districts, recently appear
cd before Chairman ZOuck, of the
State Roads Commission in the inter-
est Of connecting up these places with
the State road system. A bill was
passed at the last Legislature author
izing this. The party was met at the
Southern Hotel, Baltimore, by Senator
Wade H. ID. Warfeld, through whose
efforts the bill was passed.
After discussing the situation the
party proceeded to the Office of Mr..
Zouck, where a representative from
each section outlined the urgent ne
cessity of this road-Dr. IT. III. Legg,
of Union Bridge; JOS. Englar, of Lin
wood; DR.. T.. Kemp, Of Uniontown,
and DIR. w. WI. Norris, ofNew Windsor.
Senator Warfield, in the course of his
talk overcame the question of high
freight charges, by emphasizing the
fact that material could be had at
several places along the proposed
route, necessitating short hauls by
truck. .
The Representatives were given as
surance that survey would be made
not later than July /, of this year.

only laughed at me.
"A day or two later, when we were
at work. we heard one of the pigs
squealing as loud as a pig can squeal.
We went to see what was the matter
and we found that big black bear
had come along and decided to have
a meal of one of the pigs. He had
grabbed the little fellow by the hind
leg. When the pig began to squeal
the other pigs all turned against the
bear and fought him.
"They shouted him and jumped at
him, kept biting his legs, and made It
so interesting for him that he was
obliged to let 60 OF the pig to light
in his own defense. He then turned
and beat it off into the woods, with
IRE drove Of pigs at his heels. OF all
the noise I ever heard in my life l
never heard a commotion that would
equal the squealing of those twenty

A Wartime Recipe
For Gray Hair

Gray, streaked or faded hair can
be Immediately made black, brown
or light brown, whichever shade
you desire, by the use of the fol-
lowing remedy that you can make at
home:
Merely get box of orlex powder
at any drug store. 1t costs very lit
tie and no extras to buy. Dissolve it
in 4 OF. of distilled or rain water
and comb it through the hair. Di-
rections for mixing and use come in
each box.
You need not hesitate to use
Orlex, as a $4,000 gold bond comes
in each box guaranteeing the user
that Orlex powder does not contain
silver, lead, zinc, sulphur, mercury,
aniline, coal tar products or their
derivatives.
1t does not rub off, is not sticky
or gummy and leaves the hair
fluffy. 1t will make a gray-haired
person look twenty years younger.
