ANOTHER DANCER.
Good Advice

Dear Cynthia-Just a word TO Lone
,ore and Broken Hearted and all the
otber girls in Philly who believe that
men are essential in order to have happi-
moss What an absurd idea! There is
nositiyely no reason under the sun why
pny girl is lonesome. If the girl is u
hnsiness girl. which / presume she is,
Sbe can accomplish much in her spare
moments and forget herself. There are
numerous clubs in this city where girls
rnioy themselves every evening, dane
ipg, singing, reading, needlework, and
10 skating are some of the things in
,plged in. The big reason for being
nuey is that the girls now days think
100 much of the opposite sex. They are
continually thinking that If a girl does
not have a friend that she is an old
maid. and doesn't know what real good
time is. They are all wrong.
Perhaps you will think that an old
maid has been giving you lecture, but
it is not true. These are the ideas of
two girls of eighteen who are disgusted
reading such letters as Lonesome writes
and Broken Hearted. We are two at
ractiye young school girls and are
thinking about entering the University
in February. We are very fond of
studies. In spite of this we always en-
Joy our week ends immensely. We at
tend parties and meet some real young
men who know real girls when they
meet them. We have never acted seri.
GUS with any young men. We only
want good time and relaxation from
study at the week end. When the boys
act silly with all that lovey dovey
mushy talk we (all) also respond to
their mood. If we believed all this kind
Of talk we would not be on the road to
success as we are today. Girls of to-
day take fellows too seriously. They

finance the battle proposed by Gov
dames NJ. Cox and Franklin D. Roose-
welt, leaders of the Democratic ma
tienal committee here for the first
campaign meeting today estimate.
Cox stated his personal choice for
national committeeman was Ed H.
Moore, his convention campaign man
ager. Doubt existed that Moore will
accept. Apparently Homer S. Cum
mings was in line for reelection if
Moore declined.
Greatest in History.
The proposed fund will be the great
est in the history of the party. but ma
tionaI committeeman say it is neces-
sary because all campaign eommodi-
Sies have more than doubled in price.
In 1915, according to a statement
of the clerk of the house at Washing

close to $500, 000, while the Repub=
iican war chest" amounted to APP
proximateIy $2.5e0.000.
Because of the revelations of the

car company did not dream of a~45-52
cent scale as granted the employees
Several scales were presented with the
necessary fares to meet them, the
highest being 40-45 cents. It was
stated in the railway exhibit under
this rate, that in order to pay operat-
ing. maintenance, taxes and deprecia-
ton the fare would have to be raised
from cents to SIS cents. With the
Scent fare the railway would sell two
tickets for Is cents or Is tickets
for 81.
Payroll to SS1s,5O0.
The 80 per cent increase means an
annual cost of SIS, 500 to the Topeka
Railway company. This will increase
the Topeka payroll to SS1S,5O a year.
The payroll last year was S245.000.
TT is ridiculous to think that We

said today. with the passenger traf-
fic falling off all over the country and
with the necessity of adding 1,225,0 900
passengers to our haul we are face to

fare in Topeka. 1t is a straight bust
ness proposition. We are running
close to the preeipice and this added
burden must be met. Street car fares
are public matters. The public's court
