Yes, indeed, I do agree that girl
should go around with more than one
boy unless she is engaged. The only
thing that you can do is to make your
decision that you are going to have
other company and then have it. If
the young man you speak of has asked
you to marry him you will be able to
explain to him that you feel you are too
young and unsettled in your mins to be
thinking of that yet, and that until you
are engaged you feel it is only right
that you should see other boys. If he
has not asked you to marry him, of
course there is no reason why he should
ask you to give all your time to him.
II he cares deeply and you still permit
him to come see you generous number
of times I don't think he will "get
mad" and go away.

Just Foroet About IL

Dear Cynthia am young girl
nearly sixteen years of age, and while
visiting, not long ago,'I became ac-
quainted with very nice young man,
(at least l thought so them. Every
time that l went out riding with him
he would try to kiss me, but 1 would
not let him. Now just before left he
begged me to let him kiss me good by,
and I very foolishly did permit him.
Now, Cynthia, did that young man
only do that to see what kind of girl
I was? Do you think that it was
very wrong for me to let him do it?
| really liked him very much, and I
feel sure that would not have let
him if I had not liked him. But was
he a nice boy to beg me to let him kiss
me? Or was he, as ] said before, just
trying to test me? Perhaps some Of
our readers can reply to this.

Willard Not Enthused.

RIVERSIDE, Calf, May 21--Jess
Willard is not enthusiastic over Tex
Richards idea of two judges to act in
his fight with Jack Dempsey at
Toledo, July 4.
Willard is here today working in a
big motion picture thriller. When
shown the United Press story of
Richards plan, he said:
Before l will agree to any such
plan, will have to know just what
these two judges are to do and what
IL cir esponsibilities are. So far as
Major A. j. Drexel Biddle is concerned
/ will be satisfied with him, the third
man in the ring. If 1t is matter of
riRgside judges why not have three?
1t would seem that with these men
outside of the ring to give decisions
there would be nothing for the referee
t. do but count in case one or the
other of the two men in the ring had
been floored. There are too many
things to be considered before

proposed by Richard"

EMBOLISM OR
AUTOMOBILE?
One Was Primary and the Other the
Proximate Cause of Death of
a Man Near
Quincy.

Whether Richard Newcomb Stillwell
was criminally guilty when he killed
Anderson Havrid by hitting a buggy
with his automobile is the subject of
investigation by the prosecuting attor-
ney and chief of police at Quincy
Stillwell pleaded guilty to driving
on the wrong side of the street and
faster than the law allows. He pass
ed another car and hit the buggy with
his rear fender, but says he did not
know of the accident to the occupant
of the buggy until hours later.
Havr1d had broken leg from the
accident but was not unconscious. A
couple of days after the accident, he
died yesterday morning from embol-
ism, blood clot from the broken leg
entering the arteries and being car
ried around in the circulation until 1t
lodged.
Stllwell recently returned from the
army in which he was an officer and
is known to many people in Keokuk.

WOMEN VOTE
AGAINST WAR
In Case Another Ono Is Started,
World Wide Strike Would
be Called In
Protest.

ZURICH. May 1S.-The interra-
tional congress of women voted
unanimously at its concluding SEES
sion today to call world wide strike
of women In event another war rs
declared.
The proposal was made by Frau
lein Hertzka, delegate from Vienna.
1t was carried after an amendment
had been added providing that the
strike should be called even if the
war was sanctioned by the league
OF nations.
The conference also resolved to
sent a delegation to the meeting of
the international socialist executive
committee at Lucerne in August to
ask that all socialists refuse military
service in case of new war.
A delegation was nominated to
submit these resolutions to the peace
conference. 1t included Mrs. Des-
pard OF Great Britain; Madame
Ragaz of Switzerland, and Signora
Genona of Italy Mrs. Despard, a
sister Of Lord French, introduced a
resolution demanding representation
for women in the league Of nations
and proposed Miss Jane Adams of
Chicago as the first woman represent
tative. The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
Miss Adams in an interview with
the United Press expressed deep
satisfaction with the work of the
congress.
THE intensity OF spirit and unity
are most gratifying" she said.
THE discussions proceeded with
out any wrangling. wild talk or ire
sponsible scheming. The moderation
of the women's demands, their poltti-
cal insight and sense Of realities was
surprising. Woman's claim to politi-
cal partnership with man was justt-
fed.
"The most important political
features were protests against the
peace terms, against the economic
blockade and against armed interven-
ton In Russia and Hungary.
"As an American l keenly feel the
present establishment Of European
liberals and pacifsts in regard to
realization Of President Wilson's pro-
gram. 1t is hard to explain to Euro
peans that the president did not
come to Paris as a dictator. Euro
pean mentality is still obsessed with
the idolatry of might and even the
liberals expected Wilson to throw
Americas material strength into the
balance, instead of employing only
the force of ideals. They also criti-
