Dear Mrs, Thompson: l am a
young woman Of 21. What do you
think my trouble is? am not
considered b. d-looking but when l
go out / am not popular among
young men. / am fond of dancing
but when | go | never get as many
dances as some of the rest of my
girl frlenGs--gIr1s VINO cannot
dance as well as I do.
Don't you think | am old enough
to have boys take me places with
out my brother going with me?
My father is so mean to me that
/ would leave home If it were not
for my mother, sisters and broth
ers. Every time | go any place he
says | ought not go and fuses I'm
til it makes me nervous. Whenever
he sees a boy calling at my home
on me he ~nts ancrv and says ugly
things. He says he hasn't any use
for any of them.
He also wants me to help pay
rent. / am only making a small
salary and I give my mother half
every week and pay insurance, buy
things for the house and never
have a bit left over to spend
have to do without clothing that
really need because l don't have
money to buy it.
Please advise me the right thing
to do. WORRIED grille.
of course you are old enough to
have young men friends and to go
places with them without having
your brother go along. l presume
the reason why you are not more
popular is because you are not
happy When you 60 places you
are nervous and tired and discour-
aged, and such a condition does not
tend to make one bright and mag
netic.
1t is not right that you should
/ help keep up the expenses of the
home without having some privi-
leges. Unless your father will treat
you more kindly and respect yout
callers, | would advise you to live
elsewhere. You could probably gel
La position in q nearby town where
| It would be possible for you to get
home often to see your mother
sisters and brothers. It Is not fair
| that you should held with the rent
when you do so much else.
! Life is short and you owe some
thing to yourself. Adjust matters
so that you can be happier. To
sacrifice for your mother. sisters
land brothers, probably helps little
while you might be able to do
much more for them if you were
iaway from home where you could
get a more normal and happy point

SAYS FIRE RATES TOO HIGH
State superintendent of Insurance
Gives Figures of Big Companies

state superintendent Oh InSurhHcC
Gives Figures of Big Companies
There may be a lot of fun for the
spectators when the fire insurance rate
case is tried in the Shawnee county
district court. Col. Frank L. Travis,
state superintendent of insurance, has
issued a statement showing that
number of the big fire insurance COM
panies are earning enormous profits.
The fire companies have attached to
their petition for an injunction a copy
of statement which Colonel Travis
sent to the last legislature showing
that the fire companies could not
exist under their Kansas rates.
Recently Colonel Travis ordered
reduction in fire insurance rates. His
order was held up under a restrain
ing order from the Shawnee county
district court. Now the state super
intendent is preparing figures to show
that the fire companies are earning
too much money. He expects to gain
support for his order on this showing.
On the other hand attorneys for the
fire companies are calmly waiting for
Colonel Travis to take the witness
stand. They want to ask a whole
flock of questions about the recon-
mendations which the superintendent
sent to the insurance committees of
the state legislature in 1921, offering
figures to show that the fire COM
panies were not receiving fair return
on their business.
