ADVICE TO THE
 IOVELORN
It's Up to You.
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am dearly in love with girl one wear my junior. I admire and adore her, My feelings have been expressed in deeds but not in words. On the other hand, this dear little girl. in a certain sense, shows me that she cares for me also I've been invited to her home several times. have met her folks. brothers and sisters. They all seem to appreciate my company. But inc thing is she acts the same way towards most of the boys. So this puts me in doubt as to her seriousness. What shall I do? I wouldn't care to tell her of my feelings as she might tske advantage. I believe my actions say enough. hai 1u
 Don't be too proud to speak. Why should the girl show a. preference TOT a man who thinks so much more or his own dignity than of her that ne won't tell her of his feelings? Either won love her-or you love yourself. It's up to you to know which-and to showwhich. But you'll have to come out and say what you mean?

RAIL DECISION is PREDICTED
Government Beard Is Expected to An
nounce New Wage Schedules
For Railroad Workers.

Chicago.-The railway labor board
may hand down its decision fixing a
new wage schedule for all classes of
railroad workers next week. No date
can be set definitely, however, accord
ing to Judge r. M. Barton, chairman
of the board, as reconsideration Of the
assembled decisions may delay the
final award for a week or more.
Judge Barton denied reports that
the board faced a deadlock because
of the widely divergent opinions of
the members representing the roads
and the men. Admitting that there
was natural difference Of opinion as
to what increases should be granted
the chairman said no insurmountable
difficulties had been encountered.
Publication in Washington Of the
text Of President Wilson's message
asking the board to expedite it's award
cleared up the mystery which had
surrounded the telegram, receipt of
which had been denied by members
Of the board. Judge Barton, after
reading the published text, announced
that the message was sent to him
marked personal and confidential"
and that he had therefore withheld it
from the rest Of the board.
