month after his departure Ard
more had written him that he had
settled in California, had an oppor-
tunity to buy a piece of property
that looked like a paying specuIa-
ton, and Marsh had advanced part
OF the investment capital. With his
downfall Marsh felt that he had
forfeited all right to renew the old
friendship with Adele.
He worked day and night. He
became guide and leader of the
men of the mills. He was friend
and nurse to the unfortunates and
invalids. He had not answered
the last letter Ardmore Farlow
had written him, sorrowfuIIy re-
garding that friendship as a closed
chapter,
Then upon his birthday a letter
came that thrilled him. 1t was
from young Ardmore, and it told of
the land investment turning out so
grandly that his share meant more
than he had lost in the business.
1T was not until a few DAYS
since that Adele and learned all
the story of your trials and tri-
umph," the letter ran. "She went

tional Association OF CIothiers to dispose of
surplus cloth left in the hands of the tailors
when the war ended. After reading about the

months we cannot help being surprised, not
to say shocked. TO learn that there actually is
a surplus. Instead of adding to the clothing
the average man would prefer to have the
makers subtract from the price and multiply
the number of garments.

V i MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
girl eighteen years of age. / am
good looking and am considered
comidal. | stay at home and clerk
in a grocery store.
l know many boys and have an
opportunity to meet more, yet no
body is interested in me. Would
you say / am out-of-luck, or shall
l wait for the future?
CURIOSITY.
It does not mean as much to be
popular with boys as to be respect
ed and loved by a few. Gin your po-
sition you probably have opportuG-
tiles to meet young men which girls
who stay at home do not have. Al
ways be courteous to customers,
but never familiar. The future
holds much for you If you improve
your personality and talents and
do not become commonplace and
easily known by everyone.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Kindly
advise me what to do for the ex-
cess growth of hair on a woman's
face. VIII the treatment of cleo
tricity stop the growth, or is there
any other way of getting rid of this
lastingly? MRS. A. NJ.
The electric needle does remove
the hair permanently. There is no
other way which is permanent. So
lutions and shaving increase and
coarsen the growth.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: A boy says
he loves me and / believe he does.
He goes with another girl. I have
other boy friends and it makes him
angry. I have told him like him
better than other boys, and it is
true, but while he goes with an
other, has he any right to care with
whom make friends?
DIMPLES.
He has not.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have
been keeping company with two
young men. / am very much in love
with one of them. but have cared
nothing for the other. l have let
him come to see me because he
asked SO many times and wanted to
come so much that I did not care
to disappoint him. . Now I am en-
gagged and expect to keep my en-
gagement a secret until next
spring. How can keep this boy

Poor Parole Material.

Reading the PRISON records OF paroied
men recently mixed up in local crimes one
wonders by what process Of reasoning the state
division Of paroles and pardons came to the
conclusion that they were fit individuals to
have at large. Take two of the men charged
with the murder of Sheriff Wigers concerning
whom these facts have been ascertained:
Hale O'Riley-Received from Cook
county April 10. 1917, on conviction for
robbery. Paroled Aug. %, 1918.
James Giblin-ReceiVed, from Cook
county Dec. 2S. 1916, conviction for
robbery. Paroled Aug. %, 1918.
Six of the paroIed men involved in the Jail
delivery last week were sent up for terms of
one year to life, and one for one TO twenty
years. Tive of the seven are still at large and
free to pursue careers Of crime which evidently
is gil they have an inclination for. Here are
the records OF the seven at the time they we're
set free In Rock Island under lax parole
supervision:
Mike KaIlas-Received from Cook
county Dec. II. 1914, on conviction for
robbery; sentenced one year to life; pa
rolled in 1918
Frank WI1liams-Received from Cook
county April IL, 1916, on conviction for
robbery; sentence one year to lifes pa
rolled June 20, 1918.
Magnus Nelson-Received from Cook
county Oct 81, 1912, on conviction for
robbery; sentence one year to life; pa
rolled June 90, 1918.
Joseph O'Shea-Received from Cook
county Sept II, 1915, conviction for
robbery; sentence one year to life; pa
rolled Aug. II, 1918.
William Weber-Received from Cook
county Aug. "a, 1911, on conviction for
burglary; sentence one to twenty years;
paroled Aug. 20. 1918.
Andrew Murrin-Received from Cook
county Feb. 2, 1915, on conviction for
robbery; sentence one year to life; pa
rolled Sept. 13, 1913.
Joe Smith-Received from Cook coun-
ty Dec. 2, 1914, conviction fer rob-
berry; sentence one year to life; paroIed
Nov q, 1918.
Evidently all nine men whose records are
given committed robbery or burglary while
carrying arms. The sentences imposed indi-
cate that they were proven potential murderers.
They deliberately chose the role and that they
we're not actually murderers was a matter of
chance.
Certainly parole system that so quickly
throws such individuals as these back upon
the community to be a source of danger and
to complicate the problem of peace officers
ought to be abandoned.

Germany was skeptical when we talked OF
sending two three hundred thousand men to
Europe monthly. We are skeptical when Gem
eral March talks of having the boys all home
by July, though We hope the war department
has not lost the gift of prophecy that was so
strikfngly demonstrated last year.

knlitarists probably will point to Italy's
prompt apology for the flag incident as an ar

the fact is that in this particular case Italys
difference is due to what we stand for as much
to what we have to use in backing up our
