subterranean sounds known as
"Moodus noises" Sometimes eight or

again the noise was like cannonading

probably the cause.

mot ENGAGED" SIGNS.

Dear Bill: I'm half way inclined
to think that the innovation OF a
New York flapper. announcing by
a red band on her left arm that
she is pot engaged to marry. and
is open TO dates with eligible
young men, IL a good one.
There are too many young men
who monopolize the company Of
girls so long that other young
men reach the conclusion that they
are engaged and steer away from
the girl. II is by no means fair
to women for men to act that way.
II, after a reasonably long &C.
quaintance and association with a
woman, a man does not intend to
ask for her hand, he should think
enough of her to avoid being In
her company so much as to give
an impression that he is the only
one she wants around. And no
sensible girl should let herself be
put in that embarrassing position.
1t may not be a bad idea, after all.
for single girls, unattached, to wear
red or other bands on their arms
indicating that they are not tied up
as to making engagements with
eligible young men.
