HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
Ell MRS. ELIZABETH THOMSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
of 10 and have been in love with a
young man for some time. He always
said he loved me. We were engaged
and quit and when he came back he
did not say any more about maria ge.
He says he still loves me and 1 love
him.
He talks of other girls and I don't
like that at all. L speak of boys and
he says nothing to me at all.
We got along all right until Sunday
night. He got angry with me for
som ething I said which I did not mean.
1 tried to make him believe told the
truth, but he would not and said he
would not forgive me-
What shall 1 do? I don't want
another boys comparatively his.
Please help me. P. r. V.
Fear filled your heart when you saw
the man was angry. Then you tried
too hard to gain his forgiveness and
to keep him. Surprise him now and
do not show in any way that you care
because he has dropped you. Your
Indifference will not flatter him and
there is & chance that he will take a
new interest in you.
Your trials and tr:bulations are
simply a phase of youth. In a year
or two you and young men will meet
not excite anger and you will be mucn
happier together. Love cannot stand
the strain of much wrangling.

FALLING PRICES.

The railway employees who are ask
| ing for big increase in wages should
recognize the fact that prices are
starting down. Substantial reductions
are already being made by retailers
and index numbers are lower. II the
broeherhoods press for an increase,
says the Wollman Review, the result
will once more be reflected in higher
prices due to a rise in transportation
costs. II they wish to receive perma-
nent benefit, they must aid in reduc-
ing the cost of production and distri-
button. The only way to create trans
portation is to move cars. Strikes re-
suit in freight congestion, and even if
the railroads were able to purchase
more equipment, they would be pow
erless to , improve transportation I'M
less they could keep their cars NOV
ing. Thus while the need of an in
crease in rates to enable the railroads
to provide additional equipment and
facilities is recognized by all, the rail-
way employees should not now demand
increased wages aggregating the
amount of such rate increase, but
should redoubie their efforts to move
freight. In this way they will benefit
not only themselves but the country at
large.
The three drawbacks to speedy re-
turn to normal conditions, continues
the Review, are credit strain, reduced
production and inadequate transpor-
tation facilities. The correction must
be applied thru the medium of econ
omy and increased production. This
will cut down buying and will result in
lower prices. thus relieving the strain
on credit. The improvement in trans
portation must result from the invest
ment of huge sums in equipment and
other railroad improvement, a cessa-
ton of demands for higher wages and
Willingness on the part of railway en-
ployes to do more work. If these rem
edies be not voluntarily applied, the
situation must work out its own solu-
ton in a manner which will leave the
impress OF its lesson for years to come.
The conviction is becoming general
turnout the country that a decline in
prices has begun. When this is fully
realized, everybody who has anything
to sell will become eager to sell it and
in this way the downward movement
will be accelerated. Lucky will be he
who is heavily loaded if he escape be-
ing crushed under the avalanche of
falling values.
