HELP LEAP YEAR LOVER PROPOSE
SAYS EVELYN GREELEY WHO ACCEPTS OR REJECTS SOMEBODY
EVERY DAY
BY EVELYN GREELEY,
Most Proposed-to Film Lady

SHOULD a girl help her lover to
propose?
CAN a girl help him If she would ?
OF course-to both questions. Why
not? Marriage Is an agreement be-
tween TWO meeting of two minds,
which is the lawyers definition of a
contract. Two minds can meet most
easily when each WANTS to meet the
ether half way. It's not only possible,
but it is positively the duty of a girl
who feels sure she is loved, and who
loves in return, to help HIM to the
point where their two minds can be-
come one.
What is the best way? That de-
ponds on the type of man your lover
happens to be.
If he is of the masculine" type,
the best way is the old time-tried,
certain n sure way-to make him
feel that you are dependent upon
HIM ALONEi
No matter what they may say, mas
culine men like the "clinging vine"
voma The whole physical and men
tai makeup of man and In
dictates that man-the stronger ami
NAL is mad for woman-the weaker
une-to depend upon and cling to.
A woman who would help III
MAN to the point of asking the ques-
ton must be ready to yield. She must
not, of course, THRUST herself upon
Tim. She must not be the asker. But
he must be made to know that when
he does ask the question, she will be
ready to cuddle into his arms and
turn her face up to his for that first
kiss that is the sweetest in lifei
Tomorrow Miss Greeley will
tell how to cling to an old iIlu-
sion and still garner a husband
this leap Year.

Two great systems of motor high
ways are being promoted through this
city. They are the Pershingway, the
greatest of the north and south high
ways from Canada to the Gulf of
Mxico, and the Ozark Trails, which
passes through Mexico going from
jefferson City to Hannibal.
Herbert McDougal, manager of the
Pershingway is in this sc ton now
and will decide within a few days
whether Mexico and Audrain county
is sufficiently interested in this great
traffic artery to give this much sought
after route to us.
The Ozark Trails, as will be seen
from a glance at the map accompany
ing this article, is also extensive in
the territory it covers. From JEFF
ferson City to Mexico both routes are
being promoted over the same line of
travel. Whether Audrain and Mex
leo secure the routes depends entirely
on the interest shown here and the
character of cooperation extended.
Already the highway maps for next
season are in preparation and the
makers are asking the Pershing Way
for complete data on this highway.
NcDougal has won their consent to a
delay of a few weeks in order that
the Pershing Way may appear on the
new maps accurately. This, together
with the fact that a vast amount of
work is ahead of the association on
its own literature, makes haste on the
Missouri location imperative.
The marking Of the southern part
of the P. w. as far north as Little
Rock has been finished, and the
northern part of Arkansas will be in
CIuuGu III tHS MlSSSull ma MIX LlIC
official painter of the association is
ready to start the work as soon as the
location is definite.
1t is probable that the connection
with Iowa will be made at Keosau-
qua, where the state has just pur-
chased 1900 acres of picturesque land
for a state park. The highway would
cross the Des Moines river at this
point, and it is probable that a big
dam will be built there to provide
extensive boating. From there north,
it is proposed to run the highway
through Fairfield and Washington,
lively and progressive towns, chang
ing the route about twenty-five miles
to the west in order to make a direct
connection with the Missouri section.
