HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. thompson: / am thir-
teen years old and 1 have five younger
brothers and sisters. lam in the sew
enth grade and when I am thru school
next year 1 want to go to work. 1
know girl who gets SIS week in a
factory and she does not work hard
either
My mother says I viii have to stay
home and help with the work.
won't get any money because We are
poor and 1 never have nice clothes
1 have one brother who works and he
pays board now so that he has money
besides. 1 won't have any good times
because my folks won't let me go with
fellows and my brother never takes
me anywhere.
Do you think it is right that must
stay home and work? My fourteen
year-old brother is in my room at
school and he doesn't want to get thru
school because then he will have to
go to work. He is lazy and tries to
pile all the work on me unless tattle
on him all the time. What can 1 do
about-it? MABEL f.
1t is unfortunate that you have to
leave school, but since you do 1t will
be better for you to stay at home than
to work in a factory. The world is
not kind to young girl wIeo works.
She is met with insults and tempta-
tions which she has not strength or
wisdom 10 resist. Besides it would be
Illegal to work in factory at your
age
Until you are eighteen you will have
plenty to do at home. Bring as much
cleanliness and happiness into your
home as you can. Your brother who
works will appreciate your efforts and
when he realizes that you would like
to go places with him probably he will
AXE you.
Your parents show wisdom also in
objecting to your going places with
boys. You are too young as yet. At
the age of eighteen, Il you have fol-
lowed the wishes of your parents, you
will be grateful to them and see that
in most respects they were right.
There is plenty of time for you to have
pretty clothes when you are older.
Naturally you would like to have them
now, but since you cannot. be happy
in spite of your circumstances.
Do not carry tales about your
brother. Perhaps when he sees you
are doing the right thing he will feel
ashamed and change his habits
Have you read "Pollyanna"

in this country than they have ever
been before, for never before could a

senger train as he can at the present
time. Never before would a ton of
coal. or a bale of cotton. or ton of
steel, or a thousand feet of lumber, or
a bushel Of wheat buy as much trans
portation as it will today or as it will
buy when the rates are raised. if they
are raised.

THE BIG SELLING MOVEMENT

The retail selling at reductions in
cities all over the country is enabling
a vast amount of realization on shelf
goods. but instead of inspiring the
public with the necessity OF thrift or
causing a halt in buying in order to
take advantage, later on, of still lower
prices, the only effect apparent
~ has been to create great
rush to buy the reduced goods, with
plenty of money in evidence with
which to do it. The public does not
seem to be affected by the fact that
in a large area of goods offered, many.
if not most of them, says the Bache
Review, were marked up 20 per cent,
30 per cent or more around the first
of January, by many of the dealers,
and that the latter are gathering in a
harvest of profits. The manufactur-
crs have not vet widely made any re-
duction in wholesale prices. but news
paper reports would indicate that they
are considering it.
If the retsi1e only are thus forced,
by the popular protest against high
costs into lowering their prices, con-
t;nues the Review, the reduction WI;
simply be temporary. and as retail
stocks of standard goods are usually
the smallest, these will be exhausted
first, which will lead dealers to stock
up all around, creating again a large
demand for standard goods. All this
will tend to keep the manufacturers
from reducing prices in the coming
season, and little good will result from
this selling movement, except to put
a large amount of cash in retailers
hands. lnasfar as this cash from
the pockets of the people has not been
drawn from bank deposits, such
amounts will help to relieve the credit
strain.
At any rate. the movement is favor
able, indicating a eccgnition on the
part of the retailers, of the public re-.
vulsion against excessive prices. Such
movements are contagious, and may
spread in many directions. The effect
has been, to some extent, to weaken
the wholesale markets, and The strain
on credit has created some desire to
realize there. Dun's Review reports
reactionary feeling. quite we'll defined

The excess of April exports, which a

all drew from a common reservoir
there would be no such loss.
1t has often been noted that govern
mental agencies grow in an unwieidly
way. always adding to themselves
new complications. The issue of
money, Judge Moyle holds, is al ex-
ample of this tendency. The process
becomes so complicated that admins
trative agencies are too clo-e to it to
get the proper perspective. 1t is ne
cessary that the problem be set out to
itself, removed of every possible con-
fusing detail and viewed for what it
is. Tho purpose to be served should
be understood and the simplest l..ethod
of serving that purpose should be de-
termined. Proper methods of simpli-
ficatiou and reform should undergo
the necessary tests to prove their cor
rectiness but when their advisability
has been established action should be
taken. H holds that the time has
now arrived for a reform in the
method of issuing paper money and
that the government should perform
the obviously necessary task.

THE PREFERENTIAL PRIMARY

The presidential preference pri-
mary, while it was hoped by its orig
inator would make possible the choice
of presidential candidates by the peo-
pie, uninfluenced by TIE Vaccinations
OF designing politicians. is on trial be-
fore the country. AS regards Demo-
crat candidates there has been no ex-
preston worthy Of consideration. The
expression of the voters on Republican
candidates up to this time has been
such as to lead many persons to be-
lieve that neither of the leading can
didates will receive the nomination at
Chicago next month.
Much time and money has been
spent and much bitterness of feeling
has been engendered in a campaign
the only result of which. apparently,
will be to eliminate the chief con-
tenders from thu race. Presidential
primaries are still a novelty in our po-
litical arrangements. and it, behooves
us to consider whether they are justi-
flying either the high hopes which
some had built upon them or the ex-
penditure OF energy and preoccupa-
ton which they involve.
Would not the actual thought of
the country, alike upon issues and
upon candidates, asks The Review,
have had better opportunity both for
expression and for ascertainment with
out the interposition of the primaries?
Is not the element of chance, as we'll
as that of intrigue and of all sorts of
meaningless or Fictitious combina-
tions, increased thru the operation of
the primary game? 1--WE would not
venture to be dogmatic on the sub
ject." it continues. but we are in
clined to answer both of these ques-
tons in the affirmative"
States having favorite sons have in
most instances given them a huge ma
jority of their votes regardless of the
interest of the party or the country at
large. Because man is a native son
of California, or a popular citizen of
Illinois or Ohio, it does not necessarily
follow that he is the best fitted for the
presidency.
Up to this time it can hardly be said
that the primary system of making
nominations has shown any marked
improvement over the old way. The
old plan has given us some remark
ably capable. efficient and patriotic
presidents.
