Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We ere two
girls considered pretty; we dress be-
coming, and can dance good; but the
dances we go to, we can never have a
good time. There are plenty of young
men here who haven't any girls, but
they seem always to pick on two other
girls from our own town. These girls
are not pretty and they never have
any girl friends. When we go to the
dances We do not seem to fit in
some way These other girls cut up
and have a good time. Won't you
please tell us what is the matter and
what we can do to have a good tine?
R f. NJ, and II. E. p, Cambridge
City.
P s. 1t is always public dances that
we never have a good time. At private
cnes we have fine time but there are
so few of the latter that we have to
go to public ones. X. X IL.
The fault may lie with yourselves.
Perhaps you are arrogant or consider
yourselves better than others. And on
the other hand, the others may not be
as refined as you are, and for that
reason you are avoided. If the latter
is true, you should be glad to know
self-respect and are respected by those
who won't dance with YOU.

LITTLE STORIES OF
THE STREET
By
The Man About Town

One day last summer,
| met retired sea captain,
Just scventy-three summers Young.
Tall like the Oak,
Straight like the Pine,
His eye like an eagles
Only subdued with kindliness.
] expressed the wish
That ! too, might live to be
Seventy-three summers young,
If l could rest, and rest,
And not have to work, but
Grow old gracefully.
His kindly eyes twinkled and he said:
I'm not old yet, put
] would be if ! didn't
Fish my pounds at three q. m.
Every day in the week and
Work my big garden and tend my
vineyard
Except on Sunday.
That is the Lords day Of rest,
And | rest with Him.
Herein lay the secret Of
This sea captains fountain
OF perpetual youth.

Armistice Day Program
VIII Take Precedence
Over Conference
OBSERVERS ARRIVE
Russians Already Here-Japan's At
titude on Disarmament Pleascs
State Department.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Definite de-
cision fixing the time for the open
ing Of the Conference on Limita-
tlon OF Armaments Saturday morn
ing, November y, rather than on
Armistice Day, as originally sug-
gested, is expected tomorrow. State
Department officials said today an
nouncement Of the opening session
Of the Conference would be made
upon President Harding's return
from his visit to the South.
The regular session of the Cabi-
net will be held tomorrow, and it is
said Secretary Hughes will present
the question to the President for de-
cision at that time. Officials who
havs given careful study to the
program for Armistice Day, includ-
ing the ceremonies for the American
unknown dead, are understood to
have been unsuccessful in their ef,
forts to find a time for the first
meeting Of the Conference on that
day.
First unofficial observers of the
arms conference from Russia, rep
resenting the Moderate or Center,
group, have arrived in Washington
and taken up their headquarters IN
the Lafayette Hotel. They are
Prince Lvoff, head of the first
Russian provisional government fol-
lowing the Gar; Prof Paul Miliu-
kov, first Foreign Minister, and
Nicholas Avksentiev, member of the
Russian Constituent Assembly that
was dissolved by the Bolshevists.
Far Eastern affairs and Russia's
Siberian possessions they say will
be their chief concern during the
gathering.
Discussing the Japanese occupa-
ton Of Eastern Siberia, Professor
Miliukov stated that Russians gen.
orally were relying upon the re-
peated promises Of Premier Hara
that the Japanese troops would
withdraw at the first opportunity.
The Russian position with regard TO
Siberia will be favorable TO the open
door, admitting all foreigners and
foreign capital on the same basis as
Russian capital and Russians. he said
The Government at Chita, the cap
ital of the Far Eastern Republic,
and the Eladivostock Government,
which does not acknowledge alleg-
lance to Chita. though Chita claims
it as part Of the Far Eastern Re-
public, are preparing to send dele
cations to Washington to try to get
hearing No action has as yes
been taken on their requests, but it
is probable that both will be admit
ted.
Officials of the Harding Admins
tration are much gratifed over the
sentiments expressed by members OF
the foreign delegations to the Arms
Conference. In view Of the unanim-
ity Of the sentiment as expressed by
the delegates who have arrived or
are en- route, the highest officials
here are confident the Conference
cannot fail to accomplish results Of
great value.
Statements issued by several mem
bers of the Japanese delegation and
its chief technical advisers have been
especially pleasing to the authorl-
ties here, indicating as they do
willingness on Japan's part to enter
the Conference in a spirit of accom-
and compromise.

STATE NEWS

Danville-Colonel Henry w. Ander-
son, Republican candidate for Cover
nor, was unwittingly led by local Re-
publican leaders into an awkward sic
uation in his address here last night.
Colonel Anderson in the discussion
of the race question charged that the
Democratic party was responsible for
agitation on the subject and that no
one had suggested negro equality or
moxed schools in this State except
the Democratic press. Colonel Ander-
son, introduced by J. B. Stovall, was
unaware that when a Republican
member of the General Assembly, he
had voted for the motion of negro
member to reconsider bill which had
been defeated, and which, if recon
sidered and passed, would give neg
roes equal rights and privileges in
all public conveyances, hotels, the
aters and public places.
