GIVES
ADVICE,
COURTING UNHAPPINEss.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am twenty. eight and have been going
about with a Jewish man thirty nine for the
past four years. We are both very much in
love with each other, and although he has
asked me several times 10 marry him, have
always put IT off, az all of'my people Except
ing my mother) are very much against my
marrying out of my faith
Five or six months ago he told me IL
would not marry him he would marry another
girl. told him then that she was nice girl
and would make him good wife-nsver
realizing at the time how much did love him
or that he really would do it.
We continued seeing each other as before
and | never gave his words another thought
until about six weeks ago he told me he had
tat the time he said he would marry someone
else) seen the other girl She promptly
spread the news that they were engaged, buy
ing linens etc. and even going so lar as
to get her father buy part Of the home
DO you think 1t Is right for him to give her
I'D and marry me--or am | selfish? i know
now l would give up the entire world for
him, but he says he does not think she de-
serves to be treated so, for IT was not her
fault.
Doesn't love come before anything else in
the world? Please help us, for we don't know
what to do. L. Z.
be an actual barrier to true love. Even the Oh
jectons Of your family can be discounted be
cause you have your mother on your side. iNo'
do I blame a man of thirty-nIne for the norma
instinct that makes him crave a home snc
weary of seemingly fruitess waiting for yo,
to show the courage to come TO him. But
blame each OF you for the part you've played II
bringing about this tanglc YOU for not go
ing ahead. You are twnnty-eight-old enough
to assert yourself. Him blame for his presen
unwillingness to cut his way out of his diff
cultes. No matter how far the other girl hal
presumed IL he does not care for her, he will
be doing her a far greater injustice by marry
ing her than by going to her with the bruta
truth You both need courage and willingness
to act decisively. What the other girl deserves
is love-not a who marries her because
he is afraid to stand by the truth and his love

PAY HIS CAR FARE.

vice. Since l have been in Washington, I
have become engaged to a capable young col
1ege student. one night discovered that he
had walked thirty blocks to You
know how poor some worthy young men get
when they are trying to get through college.
Since I found this out, | have been paying
his car fare occasionally, along with similar
small things. Since we understand each 9TH

doing right? My mother disapproves Of IL.

Paying a British Debt to
America British Style

When upon orders from the British admiralty, the
American owned American operated steamship Panhandle
State was denied freedom of the to land its passengers
at port of Queenstown and had to steam onward to
Bouogne the press of Ireland quick to the sgnf
canoe of the incident. The Limerick Independent said
England had such objection to American ships
when they carrying troops to fight in France
food to feed the people for whom they fought
''No official explanation has been given to why
Irish ports blockaded against American passenger
vessels the outward journey. Probably sufficient
plausible has yet been thought Of If the harbOrs
unsafe has been suggested homeward- bound
steamers would also be kept from entering them.
"Of course, the real is the fear that Brains
monopoly of the Irish combined passenger cargo
trade might be broken. The of the Panhandle
State will shortly have magnificent fleet of mercantile
vessels the and the commercial instincts of the
British government have again used political power to
safeguard dividends
American commerce with Ireland has been growing up
lately by leaps and bounds.
In July, 1919 the trade of the port of New York with
Ireland amounted in value $5OOOO In July 1920 the
value was $15Oo,ooo, gain of thirty fold.
In July 1919, the trade of the United States with
Ireland amounted in value to ST. 1000 In July 1920 it's
value was $3300000
Britain cannot pay interest on what she U.S. But
Britain make it difficult for to trade with the Irish
people who want to trade with Britain blockade
ireland as well overrun it with soldiers and wreak
havoc upon its peaceful villages and towns
And when Americans protest against this interference
with American commercial rights this denial to brave
people of self determination Britain through its press and
politicians say: Hands off, America; it is none of
your business"
They want to join in upholding Article X
which would rvet the chains.
Can you imagine sympathizer with Irish freedom
voting to do so?

American Handicap trap shooting
tournament for 1920 was awarded t.
Cleveland, O., by the American Trap
Shooting, association. The tourna
ment will be held in August vat the
Municipal park at Edgcwater.
The date of the tournament will
not be selected until after the an
nouncement of the dates for the
grand circuit races at Cleveland, to
avoid a conflict.
Two rules which were adopted
defined an amateur as ANY shooter
not dependent upon his skill as a
trap shot, as means of living,
either directly or indirectly" and a
professional as "any shooter who
received his salary or any portion
of his salary or any expenses of
any kind for use i'll trapshooting."
To stimulate greater efficiency,
the association adopted ''long run"
plan by which shooters will receive
gold, silver and bronze medals for
points received in making consecu-
tive kills"

testing clut, but tire was lot of
batting strength on the Philadelphia
club last year, despite its low posi-
ton in the race. 1t is not out of the

on strikes in an inning, although
there is much merit to such feat.
In the gare to which | refer John

balls to those three batters, four Of
them were called strikes, while at the
five other deliveries the batter- took

one bad ball i'll the nine, every one
Of them would have been called a
strike had the batter let it go by.
Incidentally they were all fast balls,
not a curve was used by Walter to
NOV down the three battcrs.

They CAL talk all they want about
pitching feats, but any time a twirler
comes through with something out
of the ordinary it is usually possible
to revert to the records of Walter
Johnson and find some performance
that will compare favorably with the
feat under consideration, if not out
shine it.
When Hold Eller struck out six of
the Chicago players in row he per-
formed a remarkable feat. The fact
that the work was done, in worlds
series game makes the performance
stand out even a bit more than in a
regular contest. incidentally, it was
made against the strong part of the
Chicago batting order. Naturally,
such whining stunt got all kinds
of publicity. Nothing like it ~has
ever been pulled in a world series,
but | was fortunate enough to UNI
pire a game at Washington six or
seven years ago, III which Walter
Johnson showed one of the most e

Central High Quintet
Opens Season Friday
Against South High

The students or Central High
school are anxiously awaiting the
first basket ball game of the season
which will be played Friday night
at the South Side gymnasium with
the lads from the South Side High
school. This will be the second
game for the Packers, as they
opened their season with a defeat
at the hands of the lads across the
river.
The aspirant cagers have been 60
ing through some strenuous practice
last week and thus far this week.
Coach Harold Mulligan has been
on the sick list and has been unable
to put the chaps through the reg
ular grind. Coach Joseph Schmidt
of the Junior class squad has been
taking Mulligan's place for the'past
fdw days.
Arthur Paynter, who has been at
tending the Kemper Military acad-
envy for the past semester, regis
tered at the school last week for
the coming semester. This will give
much added strength to the floor
squad. Paynter is a tall chap and
has an eagle eye for the loop. Cap
tain Arthur Logan, who also was
the pilot last year, will be unable to
play in Fridays game on account of
an injured knee.
Fort Dodge will be on deck for
the Saturday tussel with Central.
This team has had about the same
amount of practice as has the local
high. Many veterans appear on the
Fort Dodge lineup for this season.
Both teams will be weakened TO
some extent on account of the brief
period of necessary training. This
game will be played at the local "Y"
Saturday afternoon at 2:30.
The South game will be called at
the South gymnasium at by Verne
Moore, who will act in the capacity
of referee.
