Advice
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


went with young man for
three months anG saw him about
four nights each week. He seems
to care a great deal for me, and
/ in turn thought the world Of
him. He was drafted and was
away for eighteen months, dur
ing which time / wrote to him
three or four letters each week.
After the ship landed, waited
but did not hear from him for
about ten days. I could not i'm
agine what happened. so wrote a
very nice letter to him asking
for an appointment so that he
could explain the delay. We met,
but he seemed very cold. After
that he would call me up and
make appointments. but would
not keep them. What shall l do7
ANXIOUS.
The terrific experience OF the war
did strange things to many sol
diers. They saw and lived through
things which made this county,
placidly going about its own way
in the midst of enjoyments and
wealth seem alien and cruel when
they returned, Many of their
dreams eluded them. They cannot
always explain themselves. 1t is
more than likely thst the young
man who is hurting you so is going
through some queer experience in
his own soul. Why don't you try
to be a friend to him instead OF de-
manding explanations the minute
he disappoints you?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twcnty-eight and have
been going abour with a girl OF
twenty-six. Before this I went
with a girl of sixteen. Now, this
older girl does not seem TO show
much affection for me. although
at times T'think she cares for me.
The other girl wishes to come
back to me and don't know
what to do. My friends say ]
should stick to the older girl,
whom I really love.
TROUBLED.
Tho lack OF affection on the part
OF the older girl is probably the
greater reserve and dignity of her
years. sixteen ia nothing more
than a child, and so In likely TO
have child's unrestrained way Of
expressing affection. The girl OF
twenty-six is much more suitable
as regards age and maturity than
the little girl who should have been
at her studies Instead Of putting
her mind on a man.

.COUGHL|N BOY DEAD,
BELIEF OF POLICE
Officials Lose Hope of Finding the
Baby Alive; Crank" May
Die in Jail.

Philadelphia, Aug. l3.--Sufforing from
n wasting, virulent disease which seems
TO have completely snpped his strength.
Augusto Pasouale, "fhe Crank" NAV
die in Jail without revealing the true fate
of Blakely Coughlin, the child he is ac-
cused of stealing from the home of his
parents in Norristown, June e.
The officials at work on the battling
mystery yesterday threw up their be-
lief that the child is alive, and admit
ted that they now hold the baby has
been slain.
Because Of this latest belief Pasuuale
probably will be charged with suspicion
of murder when he is taken 10 Norris
town to be arraigned and held without
bail.
But the possibility Of PasuuaIes death
without m honest confession has been a
source of anxiety TO the detectives since he
was first captured nt Egg Hgbor week
ago last Monday Since his incarceration
he has lost fully 30 pounds, and the fire.
quent grllings which he has received
have left hiIp in pitiablv weak condition
So wasted has the man become that Cap
tain Souder Yesterday said he felt the
man would probably die in Jail
While the officials are satisfied that
Blakely has been slain. they are seeking
outnew clues that my lead to the discovery
of the man and women who are supposed
to have been Pasguales confederates.
As result Of letter which Ben Good
man, counsel for THE Crank" received
Yesterday, detectives will 90 10 Trappe, a
little hamlet several miles from Norristown
and make inquiries regarding man and

Of the missing baby, placed the sl2, 900

The letter was signed -. II NJ" and
suggested that an investigation be made
into the identity and whereabouts of the
man and woman who were at Bemer's
hotel there. Trappe is n small village
of less than 400 persons and the authori-
ties Yesterday tried to get in touch with

with larccpy had been obtained by the
State police in the municipal court and on
leaving the federal building Ponzi was re-
arrested and held by the city court in
$4,000 bail for appearance August %.
Rudnick again went on Ponzi's bonds
and the latter was released.
Developments followed thick and fast.
As Ponai was being arraigned before
United States Commissioner Hayes, Ed
win l.. Pride, who is examining the book
Of the Securities Exchange Company for
the federal authorities anDpunced it had
already been shown that Ponzi owed
S7,0OO,0OO. State Acknowledgement j..
Weston Allcn,> who is conducting a
separate investigation, made known
his opinion that Ponzi's liabilities would
run into the millions. State Bank Ex-
aminer Joseph G.. Allen issued statement
declaring the capital of the Hanover
Trust Company, Of which Ponzi was
until Yesterday director, was seriously
impaired and probably wiped out.
State Treasurer Fred J. Burrell at
tackled the bank commissioners for not
having given him opportunity to with
draw State funds before the Hanover
was closed, and Governor Coolidge
demanded that Burrell make known how
much of the State money had been tied
up by the closing Of the trust company.
Later, Burrell notified the governor that
the State deposit was Sl25,0 900.
Ponzi's field appears TO have included
New England and New Jersey This was
made up largely of foreigners who were
more interested in getting their money
than in protecting their regulations as
wise Spectators.
Anxious inquiries at ito newspaper
offices and feverish COZ. creations in
downtown restaurants indicated that
the proprietors of small businesses, pro
fcssional men and women, clerks and
stenographers by tho thousand accepted
the bait OF so per cent profit in as days.
Among tho amazing disclosures was that
the bulk of Pon,i millions were gathered
in after tho Postoflice Department had
begun it's Investigation last February. In
discussing the Ponzi case tonight, Chief
Postoffice Inspector Hal =. Mosely said
as far as their investigation had gone
Ponzi had never done any business IN
International reply coupons. He said
he had warned hundreds of people
against Ponzi when inquiries began to
come in last February that no man or set
Of men could manipulate or speculate IN
international reply coupons in any such
manner as they alleged Ponzi had ex-
planned TO them

note holders were taken today In the
Federal Court another bankruptcy petit
tion was filed. this one being directed
against "Charles Ponri of Lexington,
John S. Donderp of Medford, and Gugliel-
mo Bertollotti of Parma, Italy, co-part-
ners, doing business under the firm name
and style of the Securities Exchange Com
pany."
Two similar actions already are pending,
one a bankruptcy petition and the other
seeking the appointment Of a receiver In
the earlier petitions no mention is made of
PonEi's partners. The actions are directed
against Ponzi alone.

success of its administration That is
why Idaho people enthusiastically
voiced their confidence in the men
who have conducted state affairs for
the past two years.
Just one thing more contributed to
the overwhelming Republican major
ity in Idaho. That is the absolute con-
fidence that Governor Davis placed in
the sanity and good judgment of the
great majority of Idaho voters. Never
in the history of Idaho have the peo-
i pie been so closely in touch with state
business. Never has such care been
taken to get straight forward, honest
accounts of. all phases of state activi-
ties before the people. Recognizing
the experimental aspects of the cabinet
form of government no effort was
spared to place in the hands of those
who were to decide its merits, the de-
velopment and expansion of the cabi-
net form of government
The stakes were high. Davis
wagered his political future upon the
success of the cabinet form Of gov
eminent. He assumed full and frank
responsibility Its failure meant
Davis end.
Only in one way could Davis hope
TO convince a public which is nomi-
nally antagonistic to any radical
change in their mode Of government
That way was by playing the game
fairly and squarely, cards up on the
table and the public invited to look
on. Truth is convincing If you tell i,
often enough.
