Work of BIackburne College.

Blackburne college has a representative in
Rock Island, Rev. Benjamin MickIe Brown ask
ing for help for the schools endowment fund.
Fifty thousand dollars is needed to make a
fund of $350,OoO which is considered sufficient
for present needs.
Blackburne college is unique among educa-
tonal institutions in that it is intended entirely
for young people who are compelled to work
their own way through school. To any young
man or young woman clean, with good habits,
a fair preparatory education and ambition to
succeed its doors are open. farm is oper
ated by the students who also do all the dormi-
tory work, and the cost of operation is so low
that any active young person can earn enough
in vacation to pay the expenses of the school
term following.
Standards high those of the best
institutions and the character of the work has
earned recognition among other institutions all
the country.
The school is at Carinville, Ill, and is con-
Quoted under Presbyterian auspices. 1t is do
ing great work and is worthy of the aid it is
soliciting.

To the layman it looks as if this country
is missing an exceptionally good chance To
build up and maintain an effective air service.
The Mexican border problem supplies our OPP
portunity.
An aircraft patrol. sufficiently numerous,
properly trained and armed with bombs and
machine guns could handle the situation from
the gulf to California with a little help from
infantry, cavalry and motor corps. 1t could
make things so hot for marauding bands for
hundred or more miles beyond the internation-
al boundary that the outlaws would feel
strained to confine their attention to less for
bidding fields farther south This work would
be the best possible training for flying men
and would give fine opportunity for improve
ment of the mechanical end of the game.
For the United States to permit itself to
again fall behind the procession in air naviga-,

be the rankest folly Northern Mexico fur
nishes an exceptionally good field for expert
ment and experience.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
One of the Foolish Virgins.

Some time ago two friends and
myself were foolish enouh to have
filling put in our faces. 1t looked
nice for a while, but presently 1t
grew much larger, and now my face
is in bad condition, so that every
body notices the swelling. One doc
tor says an attempt to remove the
paraffin might only make my face
look worse. To think of gong
through life this way makes me al
most want to die. 49,.
Answer-One of the ten million
foolish virgins. Willing to try any
thing once. on the mere suggestion
of any charlatan with sufficient
front. Paraffin injected under the
skin makes a very discouraglng
mess to remove later on. though
sometimes most of it can be dissect-
ed without leaving much scar for
nation.
Sluggish Liver.
have very sluggish liver What
do you advise for such case? tn1.
81
Answer-Two miles of oxygen
three times a day on the roof. ami
half a dozen rolls before breakfast.
A sluggish liver is another way OF
saying a lazy life.
Reply TO Anxious Mother.
do not agree with the version OF
the problem which you quote. How
ever. | am sorry | cannot discuss it
frankly in this place. And since you
cannot or will not divulge your
name and address there is nothing
/ can do. | must say. however, that.
after all, you are a rather silly
mother.

times, Allen was senseless and
helpless. that Merle managed to
bear hin to the shore. There.
overcome, Merle sank prone to the
side of the other, exhausted.
1t was at that moment that Dor
othy came along in her automobile.
She halted, ran to the lake beach,
and in gentle distress assisted
Merle to his feet Together they
lifted the half-dead Allen to the
machine. In 10 minutes they had
borne him to the nearest physf-
clan, who restored him to con-
seriousness.
AS Dorothy viewed the man of
front" his wig and false teeth
gone, his flabby face Invested of
makeup, his shrunken frame a
mere travesty of physical ampli-
tude, and then she gazed upon his
stalwart rescuer, an epitOme of
valorous chivalry, her mind was
made up fully, at last.
And why" she asked, wher they
were engaged, and Merle asserted
that he had loved her five years
previous, why did you not tell me
them"
Because I was poor. and YOU
were rich. Having gone away and
made my fortune, I came back TO
lay it at your feet"

little dream of days when peace

TIFIlE DAILY SHORT STORY

mans success when he begins to
descend the SLOPE" Allen had been
heard once to remark, and proudly
and with conviction, and indeed he
was a finished exemplification of
the theory he advanced. He was
all that was suaye in compartment,
fiinically groomed. He wore a
great. blazing diamond pin; he was
so circumspect as to the art of the
manicure and the barber that he
was waxlike, in a way
Walden Merle was the reverse.
Neat as a pin. he fitted his raiment
and not it him, and there was a
bristling vivacity to his tones, and
a suggestion of strength and force
in the well-knitted frame and the
resolute features.

strict usages of ADVANCED social
ethics. He never made the blunder
of becoming a bore. Old-time US

ton, while to Aliens front" there
was an evident shallowness some
how braggart, the technical form
lived up to by Merle attracted,

Twice a week these two gentle
men called on Dorothy and she
could not help but feel f1attered
and mplimented. 1t rather touch
ed her to recall that Merle had
practically courted her in her ear
lier days. This constituted a sort
of a bond between them. An AL
len evening, however. was not with
out it's pleasure. Allen could play
some catchy tunes on the piano,
which showed off the sparkling
jewels he wore to good advantage.

BY TEMPLE

in giving her two years before she
becomes your wife. You have
made your choice and now you will
have to wait for her, trying OF
course, to keep her love for that
length of time. In case she changes
her mind, you can WOO the other
girl again. but il would not be
honorable to keep her in ignorance
of the real situation.
Your income would certainly
warrant marriage. | think, how
ever, that you should wait until
you are so much in love with one
woman that you would not consid-
or another.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: About
four year ago my husband died.
We had only been married two
years, and we were both quite
young. I have missed my husband
very much, and no one can take
his place. However, recently /
have been very much attracted 10
another man on account of his
great resemblance to my husband
In general appearance they are
alike, bat in disposition, Oh, SO ulI-
ferent. Would you advise me to
marry this man? He would make
a good husband, and I would prob
ably be happier, but my love is
buried. / do not like to contem-
plate the long years of loneliness
ahead of me-but is it fair TO him?
BROKEN-HEARTED.
It doesn't seem to be fair To
marry the man without loving him.
Remain single and try to forget
your loneliness by work and asso-
citation with people. If the time
comes that you can say honestly
that you love the man who wants
to marry you, it will be all right
TO do so.
There are different kinds Of love.
Although you loved your husband,
you may love some one else, too.
You will love him for his own
qualities. which will of course, diff
fer from your husbands.
Marriage is never ideal without
love.

Dear Mrs. Thompson; I am a
young man "a years of age and
have known two young ladies' for
sometime who are very jealous Of
each other although they try TO
keep from showing it.
l have been going with the older
one. who is 20, for nearly four
years In the past year | have
started going with the younger one,
who is Il. A short time ago I
asked this young lady if she
would ever think enough of me to
marry me, and | was given the an
swer that she would parry me
now. Considering the young lady
entirely TOO young to take for a
wife. I told her that l would marry
her in two years, although ! did
not want TO become engaged for
such a long time and would leave
her free.
The older of the two loves me
and thinks I am going TO marry
her. although l have never men
toned marriage TO her. However,
| would marry her should the
younger girl refuse me, as either
will make a good wife. | think a
great deal of both girls. The par
ents of both girls like me very
much and would have no objection.
l own the controlling interest in
a good company and my salary or
commission is between five and
seven hundred dollars a month. ]
also own some property and am
living in one of my own houses.
Do you think I am too young to
marry? Would you advise me to
cast aside the younger one and
marry the older one or marry the
younger one now? Do you think
my salary sufficient TO allow my
wife to enjoy herself? ADVICE.
1t is your duty to disillusion the
older girl. Go to see her and say
that you are engaged. Since she
loves you, you will hurt her very
much, but under the circumstances
it cannot be helped.
The 17-year-old girl is too young
to marry and you are quite right

othy contrasted him with Merle,
the latter gained in her estimation.
The immaculate personality of AL
len made her feel a pride in his
attention, but there was a certain
sentiment of reliance on the sterl-
ing, masterful characteristics of
his rival, who reminded her some
how of an old-time chevalier.
One day, carrying their bathing
suits with them, Merle and Allen
met at the borders of the lake just
above the springs. Challenging
badinage led to a mutual agree
ment to make a point up the lake
about half a mile distance, to de-
eide which was the better swim
mer of the two. Allen looked thin,
awkward and quite common, devoid
of his ordinarily opulent attire, and
made sure that there were no OBJ
servers in view. Very soon the
powerful strokes of Merle's muscu-
lar arms bore him a hundred yards
ahead of his competitor. Then he
turned as a frantic cry was borne
to his hearing:
Help"
Allen had evidently decided to

ed for the shore. 1t was at a
marshy spot tangled with reeds,
vines and treacherous roots.
In an instant Merle discerned
the immediate peril of Allen, who
was frenzied with fear, splinter
ing choking, struggling wildly.
STEADY. there!" directed Merle,
"or we'll both get entangled." but
Allen chung to him hamperingly,
and Merle had on his hands a dou-
BILE battle. 1t was only when,
