She's Considered Cute

Dear Cynthia am seventeen years
old and in my second year nt high
school. 7 am considered very cute.
Now. Cynthia. have known boy all
my lifN. and every once and while

we started to. go together. lie asked
me to give w all the other boys. and
consented. Then by November Il was
becoming 70 monotonous just going out

About month ago at dance ! met

Now his cousin told this fellow I asked

My sisters don't want mo To 20
around with him becaasc he hasn't any

himself.

and I know h" doesn't go out with any
other girl. He says there's no one

think a fellow Of twenty. six is too old
for me? X.
IF from September to November YOU

a quarrel Of your own making. IL seems
to me You do not love the man in Uucs-
tion. Why not be friends? Unless
you intend to marry him. you should
never consent to 20 about with one man
only. II is a mistake. When a disagree
ment comes as it sometimes and very
often does. where are you? Your other
friends dismissed, you are left high and
dry and have to start all over again
getting to know others.
Seventeen is too young anyway. dear.
and another thing, IL you feel az you do
about money and riches. you should not
marry poor man. When you are a
little older you will know better the
true value of things and will not drop
n friend because he or she has not
enough money to entertain you. Nine
years difference in ages between man
and girl is not considered too great. |

tice win give the gunpointers Of the

|OUU| BOARDS TRY TO
SOLVE ELWELL CASE

NEW YORK, July 27,--Ouija boards
by the score have volunteered TO solve
the mysterious murder of Joseph
Bowen ,Elwell, turfman, card expert
ana Don Juan"
! Since the body of the gambler was
found in his handsome residence here
last month, with bullet through the
forehead. alleged clues. motives and
revelations of the murderer himself
have been gathered from ethereal
planes by the thousands and dumped
upon an admittedly bewildered staff
of the district attorneys office.
All of these occult communications
are not discarded. While disclaiming
any faith in Oopias ability as n
crime investigator. the district attor-
new admits that he has assigned a
man to the special duty of reading oc-
ieult contributions and to submit to
him personally any conveying appar-
emily useful information. An anony-
nous communication purporting to be
an occult revelation may contain a
valuable clue. Mr.. Swami believes, his
theory being that the criminal might
use this method of informing on a
confederate.
Anonymous cornrnunicants purport
to reveal prelude. plot and climax of
the crime
| The missing automatic pistol with
which Elwell was shot has been To-
Gated by Ouija boards or other super
national means in every part of the
Elwell home, from the sitting room
in which the murder was committed
down into the baseent and up to the
roof.
Until the murderer is apprehended,
both the police and district attorneys
staff say they expect no surcease
from the persistent profligacy of oc-
cult assistance now being forced on
them.
