HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
young girls, Is and 10 years old, and
are very good-looking as well as re-
spected.
We have gone with several fellows
whom We thought we loved. but soon
sure We love the men we are going
with for We have no desire whateyer
to go with others. We also feel .dif-
ferently toward them than we did the
others.
We have never told them of our
affections for them but they say they
love US and want us to marry them.
and we are sure they do, for actions
sometimes speak louder than words.
They are of wealthy families and are
able to support us. --.y 7d.
Do you think we are too young to
know our own minds? Would it be
all right for US to become engaged to
them If We wait two years to marry :?
Can we tell the first time we are
with fellow whether we are going
to love him or would we have to go
with him while to know real love ?
SOCIETY FAVORITES.
I do think you are too young to
know your minds. Doubtless in a
few months your fancies will change
again and you will care no more for
these young men than you have the
others.
You seem to have the wrong idea
about money. The fact that the
young men come from wealthy fam
lilies means nothing. Your future
with them would depend entirely
upon their steadfast qualities and
their own ability to earn.
Do not become engaged. An en-
gagement is such serious thing that
it should not be entered into quickly.
Wait a year or two and If you still
love the young men and they still
care for Won. 1T will be all right 70
become engaged.
1t takes time to test real love
Love which was felt at first sight (if
there is such a thing) might prove to
be real love, but at the same time it
might prove to be merely infatuation.

sometime, after 1 was older-if he
asked me.
The town boys and girls teased me
numerically about Everett. Some of
them dubbed him grandpa" and made
fun because he was as old as my
father. Dad was a little older, four
years He was forty-five the summer
I met Everett. But 1 didn't mind
their chaffing-very much. He was
so nice to me. hardly think any

You are all jealous" told Rose

Indeed I'm not, honest Sandra. I'd
rather marry a man without a penny
and as ugly as could be to look at if
1 loved him, and he loved me, than a
man as old as Mr.. Graham. Why
when he is a real old man all twisted
up with rheumatism, a girl your age
would be real young. The idea of
marrying a man to play nurse to him
never appealed to me-"
Really never had thought seriously
of marrying Everett until Rose put the
idea into my head. Arterward 1 un-
consciously looked at him every time
met him in the light of a husband:
not my husband, necessarily, but some
girls.
Everett Graham was tall. dark and
very handsome in an aristOcratic way.
He was an accomplished man of the
world. That he was also blase 1 had
no way of knowing. or that he had
been called tickle. He dressed in per-
feet taste, and was we'll -groomed.

with whom 1 had romped and danced
for years.

fryings until Drowned. Then mix in
one pound of hamburg steak and one
half pound ground pork and salt to

the sides together so that no meat
can escape. Drop into the boiling
water and let cook for one-half hour.
When done arrange on a platter and
pour over a tomato sauce seasoned
with onion and serve piping hot with
some grated cheese.

tion in an eastern city. In another
city the Pennsylvania railroad was
laying a similar amount for ii similar
privilege This is one of the eX-
penses which has been eliminated un-
der government regulation.
In opposition to the Plumb plan, It
has been said that, inasmuch as wage
earners as well as capitalists are hu-
man, there might be some objection
among the board OF directors toward
reducing rates and thereby dividends.
In answer to this, the Plumbists as
sert that a reduction in rates would
mean an increase in business, with
corresponding profit, and that, in eny
circumstances, the public is protected
by the interstate comm cree commits
sion. A section of the plan reads: TO
prevent the public from paying in
rates excessive profits to the corpora
tion or to the government, we pro-
vide, that, whenever in one year the
amount of net profits received by the
governm ent shall equal or exceed 5
per cent of he operating revenues,
the Interstate commerce commission
shall Immediately reduce the Level of
rates by an amount sufficient to alb
sorb these profits"
The chief objections to government
ownership of the railroads are the in
crease OF rates unQer 1ederal regula-
tion, and the present conspicuous defi-
cit which must be met by taxation.
Mr.. Plumb declares that this deficit is
entirely excusable, and easily ex-
planned. You must bear in mind" !"
he says. that for years the railroads
have been paying dividends that were
not dividends at all, but part of the
principal. Hardly road in the
country had as many cars at the out
break of the war as it had in 1918.
Returns to railroad investors in re-
cent years may be likened to the re-
turns received by the careless farmer
who withdraws the fertility of his soil
year by year and puts none of it back.
James ]. Hill said some years ago
that the railroads would have to spend
more than $5,5OO,Oo0,0OO for better
ment before they would become eff
cient. The railroad administration is
spending II. Less than 5000. 10000 OF
the deficit is due to operation. The
balance goes to permanent improve
ments."
The Plumb plan OF railroad opera
tion Is similar to that now being con-
sidered by the British government in
regard to the operation of England's
coal mines. Practically the same pro-
position has also been adopted with
respect to public utilities in Italy
What our American congress will
think of 1t remains to be seen.
