Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems and Pitfalls
Especially For Washington Women
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlRFAS:
am a high school girl of sixteen
and have a girl friend two years
older. j admire her very much but
lately she has changed because a
young fellow at school seems to
have an influence over her. He is
a rather masterful person, always
joking, and he possesses a magnet
ism that seems to attract my friend.
She has suddenly changed into a
woman and the only word l know
of is tough" / like this girl,
though my. mother says. as she has
a mother it lis not necessary for
me to meddle with her business. /
have talked to my chum, but IL has
been of no avail. Can you give me
any advice?
What is the dividing line between
prudishness and freshness?
Do you think that fellow who
has only known girl for about
two or three months ought to call
her by her hrst name? NEG.
The prude is apt to see harm in
everything and the "fresh" girl,
to use your adjective, usually
doesn't see sny harm in any,
thing. The thing to do is to
strike a happy medium between
the two. letting whatever inher-
ent fastidiousness you possess
prompt you to decide between
things which are lacvhke and 'e-
fined and things which are coarse
and unpleasant.
I think your mother is quite
right. One Of the most valuable
things to learn early in life is
that no one person is expected to
run the universe. We each have
one person for whose acts and
conduct we are wholly respon-
sible, and / often think that were
we to do a bang-up good job in
that one case we really would
have very little time to devote
to the nisdemeanors Of others.
Influence your friend by your af-
fection and interest as much as
YOU can, but don't let the thing
become an obsession because the
most encouraging part OF sltua-
tions like this one is that they
seldom last long.
Using a girls name is a mat
ter of custom and station in life.
Regardless of everything, how
ever. think there can be moth
ine prettier than for a man to
call a girl MISS Me-. no matter
how long the friendship. Save the
other privilege for the ONE
man.

Is Your Thanksgiving a Selfish

How Much TAosght Are You Giving - 0tAen,

Ii you are fortunate enough to have eaten typical
thanksgiving dinner by the time read this look out
the window for minute and think over the fact that this
YOUR hoidayand that there are lot of fellows who
are working all day today for YOUR benefit
chap gets selfish and them or, perhaps should
say he becomes centered He thinks ONLY in terms Of
himself He forgets that when he has holiday perhaps
hundreds of thousands of other people do have
Street will be running all day today. Some Of
them will all night Conductors and motormen not
the only at work. If only the motomen and condue-
tors were at work. there would be power Freen eng
neers mechanics and electricians in the power for
YOUR benefit When you turn the light tonight be il
electricity the to your touch there
some one is working all of today and all of tonight
Policemen duty all day today-a night tonight.
Fremen the job, to leap into instant action the
moment the alarm sounds. The alarm sounds because of the
intricate system of wires and bells throughout the city
must be watched by one-for YOUR benef-on holi-
days well workdays Day and night all the time men
are keeping that system in order for YOU.
You will be able to telephone today Hundreds of tele
phone operators remain on the job EVERY holiday.
You will be able to buy gasone you will be able to buy
ice cream soda water candy newsboy will deliver papers
to you Ii you want cigar, you get it. Hotels will
not acken their efforts lower their standard of service
Perhaps you will treat the waiter little better you
remember he is working while you loafng.
You send telegram today you can mail a letter
You take train. Engineers conductors switchmen
are working on your holiday for your benefit
We asked to spread little of the gospel of good
cheer at Christmas time Why waiti Let's do TODAY
You start it by remembering that all the world is not
so fortunate you, with huge turkey for dinner and
large fat cigar after dinner After starting with that
thought, get busy.
Somewhere there men and women who are lonesome
1t seems to me this is the lonesomest Of the
whole year for people who really lonesome.
In this city there thousands of people without real
homes.
If you and selfish we will not seek them out We
will let them go to grass, for all care.
But if regular fellows will hunt out the lone
chap and do something make his life worth little
more to him.
If IT do it ourselves will do it through some
of the community service agencies that beckonng for
aid and workers.
The easiest thing to do is to FORGET that some one
else is not as well off as you

met a young man about two
years ago at q friends house. /
love the young man dearly, but he
does not seem to care for me, but
at times his actions and words
show me that at least he thinks of
me. He likes smother girl better.
1 am certain of that. Not long
ago l wrote letters to him and nv
chum on the same evening and by
mistake l sent my chum's letter
to him. In that letter j expressed
my iQye for him very clearly. Since
than i have not heard from him.
DO yau think that letter made him
angry! Ny friends say that he
thinks l sent that letter to him on
purpose. What shall I do?

Do nothing except make an
earnest attempt to reclaim your

you've attained them again, you'll

General Pershing who has been looking in Europe
for time that this country wants to keep ready
it develop the air service in times of peace and
encourage the commercial of airpanes.'
This picture shows you here in the United States up
above the clouds the commercial of aplanes being
encouraged
The gigantic flying machine as photographed here car
ss the governor of New Jersey and thirteen other passen
gers and is going carry mail for the United States Gov
ernment between New York and Chicago
1t can carry large of human beings and nearly
two tons Of mail Therefore the makers of THIS parcu
lar flying machine having good chance develop the
commercial machine in peace which will everything
to Q nation in war
The trouble that this British being encouraged by
use in the United States service not American machine
OF course, want to encourage everything British
Italian French Canadian everything good all the
world in all ways within reason.
But couldn't Government also find time money and
Interest to encourage PARTICULARLY the American
ayng machine?
We know that the building of automobiles on big
scale began in Europe And when used to read about
Mr. vanderbils white Ghost" or about the sixty horse
power Mercedes Norhce brought to the United
States, we knew that talking about a French
machine when mentioned Vanderbilt and about Ger
machine when we mentioned Northcliffe
If we had gone here encouraging only the European
machines would not have been good thing for America
the automobile industry Fortunately interest of
individuals and the great public demand built up the Amer
lean automobile and this country leads the world in
automobile production.
It ought to be the flying machine production
and In flying machine perfection and it COULD be the
Government would give the necessary encouragement
The story is told dsgustingly in figures as follows
The government of Great Britain has appropriated
$330o0o0o for the development of flying machines
while this country not loaded down with debt half
bankrupt England is actually refuses an emergency
appropriation Of S150 900 for the same purpose
The United States still and watched while England
building the biggest navy in the world navy that
makes other nations send their ships out with HER per-
mission.
Is the United States going to sit and watch in the same
way while Great Britain builds up the greatest modern navy
IN the world, which is the flying machine navy?
Even France harassed with debt, hunger and war her
money knocked down fifty cents the dollar is able to
spend flying machines ten times much as the United
1tates
What is the matter with this country? Too much talk
too many patitudes and too little action
Psf you think that this country OUGHT to use
the necessary money and intelligence to build up first
