Distance Lends Enchantment.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Distance Lends Enchantmcnt.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
| Will you please help me answer q
question that I alone can not do?
I am q young man, 20 years Of age,
OF general good habits, have q pref
| ty good education and am fairly
! good looking. There are two girls.
Hazel and Alice. I have known
Alice over year and she has al
| ways been the best kind OF friend
to me. Since / moved away she has
written me often and is anxiously
| awaiting my return. know II i
asked her she would marry me and
would make the best kind Of wife.
| Since T came here about six months
ago I started going with Hazel and
am now engaged to her. Have been
engaged about six weeks, and since
| being engaged she seems to be SO
sure of me that she doesn't care
what she does. She seems to think
I'm made Of money and encourages
me to spend it beyond my means,
although she knows ! can not af-
ford it, as l have only a moderate
salary to depend upon. She lives
in a town rs miles from here, and
when there is dance there II /
don't go over she goes to the dance
with some other fellow. She has
| led me to think less Of her and
more of Alice, and, as am soon go
ing back to where Alice Is, / would
like to know II it wouldn't be SEN
sible to- break the engagement and
how would be the best way to do
this. IN TIGHT PLACE.
You should break your engage
ment, not because you are going
back to the town where Alice Is, but
because you do not love Hazel. Be
sure you are perfectly fair with Ha-
eel, however, when breaking the
engagement with her, but don't en-
gage yourself to anyone else, not
even Alice. until you know your
own mind. Remember that IN en-
gagement Is contract to marry.
and that marriage should mean q
life union. Az to the best method
Of breaking your present obligation,
there is only one way. and that Is
via honesty and frankness. Be con-
siderats Of the girls feelings. but
tell her the truth. II will hurt her
less than lies or uncertainty. Judg-
ing from Hazels conduct, she
doesn't care for you the way girl
should care for the man she ex-
poets to marry.
Jealous Girls.
!, Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are two girls, II and 1s years
OF age, who are considered to be
two of Omaha's prettiest girls. We
are as popular as we are beautiful
We are engaged to two boys who
room down town. When they are
not with US they are spending their
time going to shows and other
places and they expect US to stay
home and are angry II we don't.
Now there are several young men
are just crazy about US and want 10
keep, steady company. Should we
accept their attentions when we.
don't know what our fances ale
doing? We think an awful lot Of
these boys and don't want them To
think we are Jealous. but we are.
What shall we do? Is our English
and writing good? Thanks.
CHUMS.
Jealousy reveals q lack of con-
fidence. 1t is an emotion which
should not rule anyone. Don't go
with other young men just to spite
your fiances. II you have no con-
f1dence in the men you expect to
marry you'd better give them up,
Your English is fair and your writ
ing is very good.

ARE SOLVING
THE HOUSING PROBLEM

Now that the United States has
housing problem the country has set
about the task of solving it with as
much energy and resourcefulness as
it engaged in the vast labor of con-
Quoting the nations part in the war
Since the United States Department
of Labor started it's ownyour-own-
home campaign hundred cities have
been engaged in cooperating in the
practical work of reviving building
and three times as many are prepar-
ing to join in the effort to supply
enough houses to meet population
needs. In addition to the movement
along the special lines suggested by
the department, chambers of COM
merce have taken hold of the work
of encouraging building.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, is one of the
cities in which there is much activity
A housing committee appointed to
study conditions reported:
1.-The experience in Niagara Falls
has undoubtedly indicated that the
following is true:
"fa) 1t has been difficult to attract
the right type of labor.
"(b) Many men of satisfactory
type have refused to stay because of
inability to secure proper houses or
adequate boarding facilities.
"(c) A reasonable proportion of the
high and costly labor turnover has.
therefore, been due to insufficient
housing.
1.-The total labor turnover in Niagara
Falls could not be ascertained, be-
cause only a portion of the question
naires were filled out upon this point.
but in plants employing 5.249 persons
the labor turnover during the year
1917 was placed at approximately
1860 employees. This is an average
of $50 per cent. This percentage.
emitting an allowance for increase
exceed % per cent, applied to the
total number of employees which it
is estimated are engaged in indus
trial work in the city, would mean
that the total labor turnover in the
community in 1917 was about $4,000
'sWhat effect upon labor turnover
ideal housing conditions exert is. Of
course purely problematical. 1t is
our belief that labor turnover re-
duction of up to 25 per cent might
be effected if the housing conditions
were first-class.
IF 25 per cent Of the present turn
over could he reduced by excellent
housing conditions it would mean
saving of about 10000 employees. If
the cost of turnover per employe av-
erages $50 figure which is consid-
cred conservative, the saving to en-
ployers Of Niagara Falls resulting
from good housing would amount to
something like $500. 900 per year"
Having adopted the housing COM
nittee's report. the Niagara Falls
Chamber of Commerce took steps to
establish a housing corporation which
would help to finance the erection of
dwellings in the city. According to
estimates, 10000 houses will be need
ed within the next ten years.
