The way to q new and easily exploited sour e

Bureau OF Standards with a barrel Of sailed seal
fippers from the Fribolof Islands of Alaska. Ac-
cording to Popular Mechanics Magazine. this
work demonstrated that 81 per cent Of the weight

realised when II Is known that as the four nip

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have two girl friends whose names are Grace
and Jean.
Both OF them keep steady company. Grace
treats her friend cold iceberg, but yer
he has confessed his love for her number OF
times while deep in her henri she cares as much
ard more for him he says he cares for her
While the other hand Jean cannot help but
show by her actions while in her friends com
pany that she thinks a great deal OF him. and
is afraid to say anything that she thinks may
make him angry for fear he may stop keeping
her company. He knows that Jean cares a great
deal for him and treats her as he pleases
Now, Miss Fairfax l am anxious to know why
II is that n girl should not let a man think that
she cares for or is interested in him.

The average man likes to think that II was
hard work winning the girl he loves, although
girls all know better. II girl let's him
that she cares so very much for him, the game
loses a great deal OF its zest for him. and he
treats her with more or less Indifference.
