NFrom My Diary"
BY echo"
The next morn. uo-
We had the greatest day I've ever
snent. To begin with we were a happy
crowd when we met at h Central
Station and we went quite early we
had fun all the way. When we ar
rived DOT my best friend, said that
she wanted to purchase a bead pag.
Our chaperon, Miss Browns n q
rather young and very interesting
one said we had plenty of time 10 DO
that. but Dot was obstinate and she
had her way. After purchasing the
bag we took bus rides down riverside
Drive and then in Chinatown. I've
always wanted to see the Little Italy
of New York. but that will have to
wait until the next time.
After luncheon we went to the Mu-
scum of History, where we mel my
dad. 1t was all planned so we were
to go to the theatre in the evening.
So it was almost five when we left
the museum, had tea in n of the
dearest little restaurants and then
the best part of the good time we
went to the Winter Garden. Dad
wanted to take US to the roof gardens
afterwards, but Miss Browne said it
was too late. AS it was we took The
owl" (the last train home.) We all
parted happily at the end of a per
feet day." That certainly is an in
teresting excerpt, haven't you some
more, I'm sure we would like to hear
them.

Fat sends in might interest a lot of
US.
Peanut Brittle.
Shell the peanuts and rub off the
brown skin. Put the peanuts on a
board and crush with a rolling pin.
Measure the broken nuts and take as
many cupfuls of graduated sugar as

'NThe Little Lady of the HarmonfeS
BY Opal
In her little room over the curio-
sity shop, Tina worked to be a sue
cess in life. Tina Laguerre was known
as the Lady of the Harmonies.' She
seemed only a youthful girl, tall and
very graceful with a quantity of black
wavy hair and sparkling violet eyes
and a smile of happiness for everyone.
1.-The Lady of the Harmonies" had
loved her violin from childhood. She
had studied parts of her time ! n
France, Vienna and Germany, but 1t
was in America that she arrived at

harmonies. One day 1.-THE Lady of

The day she was to appear on the

luck and success and she passed on
An hour later she returned. Her face
shone with the light of success. Fame,

AMONG US GIRLS

Dear Girls:
DO you know that we are over forty
letters behind schedule. That is if l
was to clean house and clean my file
leaving it without any letters saw
those that Would come in this morn
ing's mai l would I'VE to publish
forty letters in tonight's paper. Now
you know as well as not hat that is
impossible, hence I'm going to pick
out the most interesting things in
each letter and publish them. Don't
you think that is much better than
waiting such a long time to have your
letter published?
Nagging, what an awful thing that
is. 1t may be a girl and it may be
a boy still the nagger is one of the
most formidable persons to come in
contact with. Nag, nag, nag, you
surely nov someone who whenever
you see her or hear her she is nag
ging about something. Nagging her
mother because this dress or that
does not look right, nagging the maid
if her breakfast is not right Ooh,
pardon me, l thought 1 was back in
the days when we did have maids
who made breakfast. Now even If
one is lucky enough to have one 1
must admit hat even the chronic nag
ger has not attempted to disturb herr
But at any rate she is the person hat
spoils a perfectly good evening or
uins a perfectly good disposition.
Oh, girls If for one second you think
that you are nagging the least little
bit, why stop it even if it means your
own inconvenience. Why? Cause

Wei I'm glad to say hat we have
heard from Dorothy Dainty once
more. In talking about books she
says, Il know I'm in class A, but l
know Jane Eyre by heart. I've read
most of Dickens books and like
Meade's books very much. Little Wo-
man I adore, but 1 was terribly dis
appointed because Joe didn't marry
Larry. 1 like Jane Porter's also, but
Martha Finley's Elsie Books are my
favorites. 1 received a whole set and
greatly enjoy them. I liked The
Courtship of Mile Standish," too and
Poe's works. She goes on talking up
on Christmas presents which she is
making. Il have been busy making
pin cushions, and soap and handker-
chief bags" She goes on to give the
following suggestion which / am sure
that 1 will foster to my uttermoSt
ability. If you need n help that 1
can give YOU Dorothy Dainty" just
all on Helen" She says:

suppose everyone does. This Christ
mas 1 intend to do a great many in
teresting things. l just wish l could
get a crowd of girls and boys to a
rade through the streets and sing jolly
old Christmas songs and jingle bells,
and all laugh n be merry. But the
children feel shy and are afraid their
friends will see them and laugh at
them. I'd give anything to collect a
CROWD. Nc n seems to van to do
the things they used to. Perchance
my views are different. l wish | could
solve the problem. If n of you
girls read "a dolls party days some
times known as The Happy Hearts,

I'm sure she'd enjoy Xmas fun. If
any of my chums read this letter, 1
think they'd tell me if they are in ia
vor of Xmas fun 1t would be so
jolly if it showed. I read in an al
manac that we're going to have lots

old newspapers, unless he is equipped
with some other apparatus for such
contingency.
Here is the other method suggest
ed by the United States Tire Co.;
Put the car in low, and if you cannot
feed the gas with your foot evenly,
so that the wheels will revolve slowly
put your emergency brake on. Dc
not put it on so that the wheels will
not revolve at all, but tightly enough
so that they viii not revolve rapidly
With the wheels turning slowly the
maximum pull is delivered to them
by having the car in low gear, and
so long as they turn slowly they can
get the benefit of the tremendous
power.
1t is not always wise to fill the
hole with stones or brick, for their
rough edges are hard on tires. Small
branches or trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space,
Should this method fail, quite often
slight push that would not much
more than move a baby buggy will
furnish just the added amount of
power necessary to get the car GO

NEBRASKA JUDGE
NOW ENDORSES IT
Hon. b. F. Wilmington Has Gained
Twenty Pounds By Taking
Tanlac.

One of the distinguishing features
of the introduction of Tanlac thro'-
out the country is the large number
of prominent men who have felt it
their duty to disregard precedent and
come forward with their unqualified
endorsements of the medicine because
of the benefits they have derived
from its use.
The latest addition to the list of
prominent endorsers is the name of
Hon, Benjamin F. Wilmington, judge
of the Ralston Court, South Omaha,
Neb. In relating his experience with
Tanlac, Judge Wilmington said:
"The results of Tanlae in my case
certainly seem wonderful to me. Be-

DIAz: ITALIAN COMMANDER IN Chief

Gen. Armando Dlaz is an interest
ing world figure just now, inasmuch as
he Is the commander in chief of the
Italian armies and much depends upon
him in the complicated situation Of
which Flume Is the storm center.
General Dlaz was a noteworthy figure
at Paris in connection with the peace
conference and left with Orlando when
the Italian premier went to Rome to
consult with the Italian parliament.
At the same time there were reports
that II divisions of the Italian army
had been moved to Fiume and vicinity.
On the Italian basis of l4,OOO troops
to the division this means nearly 2OO,'
600 soldiers.
Fiume is a Hungarian seaport that
has had Italian characteristics ever
since the days of the Roman empire.
In 1911 the city held 10000 Italians,
10000 Slays and 5000 Magyars. The
Hungarian government had tried by
colonization and in other ways to
wipe out the Italian traits of the city.
Doint is that Fiume should be allowed
