MARITAL. LAW IN STEEL T0WNSIN
 CHICAGO AREA
Troops Sent to Gary; Indiana Harbor and East Chicago
 Affected.
GEN. LEONARD WOOD
 IN CONTROL AT GARY
In Other Cities Steel Mills Reopen With an Increased Number of Employes-Striker Lose
 al Many Points.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Declaring of martial law in the towns of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, Ind, and the dispatching of federal troops 60 Gary, although no violence had oc- | cured since Saturday, marked to- days developments in the steel strike situation in the Chicago dis. trict.
 Acting under authority conferred upon him by Governor James Good rich, of Indiana, Adjutant General Smith, in command of 12 companies of Indiana state troops on duty in the Indiana strike zone, tonight declared martial law in a territory embracing the towns of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago and extending for five miles in either direction from each of them.
 The step was taken, General Smith said, following indications of trou- ble" and after consultation with the mayors of the two towns. A detachment of approximately 1, 1000 federal troops from Fort Sheri- dan, H., under the personal con- mand of Major General Leonard Wood, took over control of the stua- tion at Gary tonight, following an appeal for aid to General Wood from Governor Goodrich. Upon arrival of the federal troops, the state units, which have been distributed over the Indiana strike district, were withdrawn from Gary and concen- trated in Indiana Harbor and East Chicago.
 State troops had been sent into the district after rioting Saturday night at Gary and Indiana Harbor.
 No Disorders.
 There were no disorders in either of the strike centers today but in Gary where the mayor had forbidden parades of mass meetings, 20O0 strike sympathizers, headed by 200 former soldiers in uniform paraded through the main streets of the town and held a meeting in East Side Park. State troops on duty in the town made no effort to interfere with the parade or the meeting.
 Outwardly the situation was quiet throughout the strike district district today. No disorder was reported from any point. There seemed to be a tense feeling and officers admitted that they feared trouble.
 Steel plants throughout the district continued to operate today win vary ing forces of men at work. Plant off, fieials claimed that many additional men had reported for work, but strike leaders asserted that only few unskilled workers had gone back.
 After an investigation following the arrest of a negro on a charge of carrying a weapon, c. E. Huber, assistant postmaster at Gary, declar- ed today that many firearms were being received by negroes at Gary through the mails from Chicago. He urged that their acceptance be re- fused in Chicago

value Of money if he is definitely paid
for definite work. Apropos of this
latter plan I like TO recall the stories
a friend OF mine tells about the little
son of the editor OF a we'll known
household magazine. This magazine
is strongly in favor OF the definite
payment idea. AS my friend saw the
system worked out, the small boy
had to be paid even to get his moth

Going back to the cooperative
idea of handling family finances, the
question arises, how long should the
children be considered a family ex-
pense, and when should they become
sharers in the common scheme? 1t
would seem to depend upon the in
dividual child, for maturity is not
entirely a question Of age, and no
child who lacks mature judgment
could possibly be responsible for his
third or fourth or fifth of the income.
One enthusiastic writer on this sub
ject tells of admitting each child to
full partnership at the age of 10, then
the child is to save enough of his
share to pay his school expenses. in

A Lonesome Girl,

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Now to bare my heart to you!

old, and / am considered good look
ing, though l didn't start to tell
you Of my looks, as they suit me
o. K.
am not lonesome for want Of
friends, as 1 have plenty of both
sex, but am lonesome for, (well, why
beat around the bush?) the love of
some true-hearted man. Quite a
confession, but none the less true.
The men of today are scarcely
my kind. / don't want man of
fiashy socks and ties, sporty clothes
and for good times, but man who
loves home, a wife and children. 1
could make some good man happy,

am very jolly, enjoy a certain kind
of fun, though l don't run out like
most, or all, the girls / know, stay

such sport and soon losing their
sweet childish looks just for want of

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
This is the first time 1 have written
to you for advice, but read it daily.
Now, Miss Fairfax, my first question
IS: Why can't a girl get the fellow
she really wants? / am a young
girl, 10 years of age, and always ont
for good time what I mean by that
is a clean, good time, going in
punches and having parties and GO
ing to dances with girls and boys
together.
Now, Miss Fairfax, it seems that
just the boy I don't care about ID
the one that cares for me, and the
one l do care about is the one that
don't care for me. I met a young
man about month ago with whom
think am really in love.
Have been going with fellows ever
since was about Is years old and
always had lots Of suitors, but this is
the only one have really and truly
cared for. / see and talk to him
every day, but have only been out
with him two or three times. be-
cause he works nights, but he gets
off oftener than that, but always has
something else to do on the nights
mes off, such as going to bed or go
ing out with the boys. He tells his
boy friends that he cares for me,
but II he does why don't he ask to
take me out oftener?
Now, Miss Fairfax, my letter is
getting pretty long, so Just want
to ask you how or what I can possi-
bly, do to win this young mans love
and keep it? I try not to get sem
timental when he does take me ont
or take me home from places, be-
cause they say when you let him
think he's got you there is where
he'll fool you. want to keen him
guessing, but don't know how
wish you would write q nice. long
letter in The Bee some evening to
help me and other young girls also
on how to keep the fellows guess
ing. I've tried to do it, but don't
know how; my way won't work and
L need someone's advice. Please tell
me how to act when around this
young man, so as win his love?
Thanking you with my whole
heart, RESS

Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
Your advice has helped so many, so
am asking you to do what you
can for this poor woman. She has
family of 10 children. Some years
ago her husband died, so she was
married again so she could keep her
children together, but this man has
left her with another little girl and

again, She hasn't any baby clothes.

lady had some baby clothes to

Well, this poor woman is in need, if
any one ever was. They all had the
"flu" about Christmas, and one of
the little ones died. She has writ
ten to me to send her some of my

old. and l have sent her a lot of
little things l could give. Thanking
you for helping so many, and 1 just

One reads many articles debating
the question whether it is better to
give a young child a fixed sum and
expect him to do whatever house

it is better to allot the tasks, pay

pay extra for any extra work done.
