Make an ApoloCy

Dear Cynthia--I am a young boy and
] nave been In love with a girl some
time, and she likes me very much. Now,
she Is very nice girl and she is n bit
teasing. We often get angry at each
other. and few days ago another fel-
low and l were teasing her and another
boy, and since then she has not spoken
70 m" or she doesn't seem TO notice me.
What would YOU do in this case would
You go to her and apologize or would
you wait for her to make friends with
me again? q. F.
An apology would he best II could
not hurt you. II would be the gentle
manly thing to do if you think you have
offended her. Sometimes it is a mistake
to tease people if you know they are
sensitive.

Look at the out of date equipment

LONDON, July 19.--Great Britain Is
approaching rapidly an industrial crisis

was thought when Chancellor Bonar
Law offered in the House Of Commons
Ito stop the proposed increase II the
Z miners would promise to increase pro-
duction that this particular crisis had
fbseh passed, but after the Miners Fed
eetation refused to make any such agree
ment the Chancellor announced that the
! increase must go into effect
The far reaching results of this in
Grease Of $3.50 a ton already has become
Practically every industry
Elm the country has notified the Govern
ment that no increase in production can
sbe expected under the new coal price,
(which will penalize many industries
which were just beginning to recuperate
from the effects OF the war, and others
which recently have accomplished the
from war work to their old
lines of manufacturing.
