Railroad Thieves Steal
$7O,OOO,OO0 in Goods

Sam has had stolen from him since

something like s7O.cOO.OOO worth of
merchandise from freight cars in ter

imbursed. About s15.OOO.OO0 worth
of freight of this amount was stolen
from cars while they were in and

service of the United States Railroad
Administration a great part of the
stealing is done by organized bands

that would do credit to Legitimate
business of great magnitude. TEe
goods stolen were everything that 8

are handled by fences" in the prin-
cipal cities of the country and ar
ticles stolen at one point are almost
Invariably shipped to near point

wholesale thievery it is necessary to
have a certain number of railroad
employees in on the deal. According
to secret service officials these en-
ployes are found among a low class
of laborers. a great majority of whom
are of foreign birth. In some in
stances which are rare. carload of
merchandise is stolen when the aid CT

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am nineteen and have been goinE
about for the past year and a half

to him and commanded me to give
him up. This I would not do, despite
had concerning him. l have told him
what my mother says and lately it has
changed him toward me. for previous;
to my telling him this, he always
showed that he loved me dearly.
Now. Miss Fairfax. / cannot give
him up. because he means too much
to me. and l could never find another
to take his place. He has suggested
that we part for a while in order to
see if we really and truly love each
other. for I have been seeing him from
three to five times a week all along.
We did not expect to be married for n
year at least. I am brokenhearted and
I cannot attend to my duties at the
office or sleep at night, worrying over

You seem to be in very painful
situation. and | sympathize with you,
out knowing more about YOU all. For
instance. your mother must have some
reason for her dislike of the young
man. Is it a good reason? If no
serious charge has been made against
him. it is. of course difficult for you
to give him up. or it would be if he
didn't himself suggest separation.
After all. if you do both truly love
each other. your love will stand the
test of temporary separation. Let that
encourage you.

DEAR MISS FAlltf AA.
TO avoid many rows at home with
my parents please let me know wheth-
er it is wrong for a girl of twenty
when going out with a respectable
young man absolutely good COM
pany) to come home at l o'clock. 1t
happens that whenever l have had
q. real enjoyable evening my father
waits for me. watch in hand. only to
create trouble and give me scolding
1 am simply disgusted. Many time
he has insulted my friends just be-
cause he wants me to come home at
II o'clock. Il. r..
There is only one thing to do. while
YOU make your home with your par
Cnts, which is to accede to their
wishes. 1t is not unreasonable to ask
a girl to come home at IL o'clock and
! o'clock is surely a very late hour.
For the unpleasantness that you refer
to I should say that your parents
were by no means wholly to blame.

THEY DO NOT LIKE HER

ID DEAI MISS fAlftf Az
l am an attractive girl of eighteen
and quite popular among both sexes.
MY only distress is the house in which
I live. My friends are all refined. and
Immediately after being escorted
Miss Fairfax, advise me whether ]
should urge my parents to move to
better surroundings, as they can well
afford it and wish only my happiness,
OF should 1 give up my men friends?
JEAN.
If your home is neat, and you can
help to keep it so, L see no reason why
YOU should lose friends on account of
YOUR home. l am sure you will agree
with me that the friends who would
come to.se you because you lived in
a fashionable neiEhborhood would not
be worth keeping. l have known girls
who lived in very large. well-furnish-
ed houses, who were far more lonely
than those across the street in small
or ones. Learn to make your friends
welcome at your home at any time
and do not let them think that you
are ashamed of it. | am sure that the
friends really worth having will soon
flock around you.
