Missouri river, according to a tele-
phone message to the street railway
barn in Council Bluffs and to Omaha
police.

Lee Vanderlou, tollman at the east
end of the bridge, told Omaha po-
lice, who conducted a search along
the east river bank. that he saw a
girl in blue and without a hat get
off a street car at the east approach
to the bridge and slide down the
bank. He called Omaha police
A few minutes later Vanderlou
saw the girl walking up the river
roadway and disappear among the
trees. He kept his eyes on her and
directed police in the search, as she
acted strangely, he said. Fishermen
were out in their boats dragging the
river at noon today in an effort to
locate the body of the girl.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am girl
fifteen. Not long ago another girl
and I were very dear friends, but now
she doesn't seem to regard me what.
ever. When l think of the good times
we have had together it makes me
feel lonely, for | love her dearly
She is still friendly to me when we
are alone, but when she has other
friends around she doesn't seem to
give me a thought About six weeks
ago she went out of town. She wrote
me letter and / answered it, bur
after she came home | went away and
wrote her a letter and she never
answered.
Do you think she meant to answer,
but didn't have time or something
| haven't asked her. What can I do
to regain her friendship?
BROKEN-HEARTED SUSIE.
Probably your friend is not con-
sciously neglecting you. New inter
ests may be coming into her life which
absorb much of her time, and she does
not realize she is leaving you out.
The fact that she did not answer
your letter does not indicate anything
because when she went away she
cared enough to write to you. Prob
ably she was busy and let the time
slip without sending an answer &c
your letter.
Try not to think that your girl
friend no longer loves you. If you
are overly sensitive about it you will
become touchy and will take man,
things as sights which are not meant
that way. Interest yourself in Others
too, so that you will not notice the
time spent away from your friend.
