Dear Mrs Thompson: Please tel
me what age boy should be be-
| fore he can visit girl at her home,
GRATEFUL.
Most boys start calling on girls
when they are II or 49,
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am
greatly troubled with an oily skin
What can do for this? l. A. B.
For oily skin Danish all rich and
greasy foods, for diet has a great
influence on the condition Of the
skin.
Wiping off the face occasionally
with diluted alcohol (25 per cent
strength is beneficial in the case OF
an oily skin.
A few. drops of ammonia or a
pinch of borax in the water with
which the face is washed is also
helpful.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
girl 16 years of age. My mother IS
opposed to my friendship with sew
eral boy friends. l am not allowed
the privilege of going with young
men to parties or shows l have
been meeting them uptown.
1 was walking up the street with
my friend the other day when
met mother Now l am not allow
ed to leave the house unless I am
AS l have saved enough money to
get to another town, would it be
correct for me to leave home and
NJ ENT
You are really too young to
make a practice of going with boys.
1t seems to me, however, that your
mother is carrying her discipline
too far when she refuses to let you
have any boy friends and when she
insists that an older person accom-
pany you every time you go out of
the house. 1t would be all right
for you to entertain a boy occasion
ally in your home and also to en-
terrain a boy occasionally in your
home and also to attend school and
neighborhood parties.
l would not advise you to leave
home, however, because if you did
you would be forced to return
since you are not of age yet. Be-
sides a little girl of Is could not
earn enough to live comfortably
and happily. Even if you cannot
make your mother see your point of
view, stay at home until you are of
age, at which time your mother
will surely change her views and
permit you to have young men
friends. Do not try to deceive her
becaues you will only cheat your
self.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Which
should husband love more: his
wife or mother? I am a young
married woman and my husband
seems to love his mother more. 1

love goes to her husband and her

mother is not loved as much as
before, but / imagine men are diff
ferent.
Do you think if q husband, his
, wife and mother were in a boat
and it upset, that he would save
his mother or wife? Which do you
think instinct would tell him to do ?
FORGOTTEN WIFE.
Unfortunatelylo love is not a thing
which can be held in its proper
place by duty. Love goes where it
will. Some men never find it pos
sible to love their wives as much
as they have their mothers, while
others are SO absorbed with the
new love that they neglect their
mothers.
To picture a man and his wife
and mother in a sinking boat is a
waste of time. The solution of the
problem would depend upon the
man
/ do think that when man takes
a woman as his wife, he should try
to adjust himself to her ideas and
to make his life with her more i'm
portant than anything else His
mother has no right to try to force
her ideas upon him She had her
day when she was young and had
her little family. Now with her
wisdom resulting from years of ex-
perience she should simply watch
the drama of her sons life and say
nothing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am en-
gagged to a boy six years my SEN
ior l am 16. He has been going
with other girls and seems to show
them better times than he does me.
When / went with a boy he got
angry. He says he dearly loves
me, but I cannot believe him be-
cause OF the way he acts toward
me-
l have a rich uncle who wants
me to come and live with him. Do
you think I ought to go and break
my engagement, as he seems to en-
joy the company Of others more
than mine?
TROUBLE HEARTED.
Yes, I think it would be a good
plan to break your engagement,
and to go to live with your uncle
il you want to. The young man
does not love you as he should or
he would not go with other. girls.
Surely you do not want your hus-
band to insist upon going with
other women. Such situation is
what you would have TO face if
you took a man who was not faith
full before marriage.
Mrs. F. T.: By all means get a
divorce To go on living with your
husband would be dangerous for
yourself and the children. He has
not earned consideration from you.
1t is fortunate that you have
father with money who is willing
to help you now.

Engage Man to
EIGHT Forest Fires

C C. Delavan. formcrlv of Coeur
d'Alene, Idaho, and a member
of the federal forest service, has
arrived in Montpelier to take
charge of forest fire preventive
work for the State forestry de-
partment. Mr.. Delavan for the
last 10 years has had char, of
this work in district number one
of the federal forest lands, which
includes about 22,000,000 acres in
Montana, Idaho a part of North
Dakota, and part of WASHINGTON.
In this district is employed a force
including 25 supervisors and $50
rangers with whose work Mr.. Del
avian kept in touch.
The employment of full time
man to take charge of the pre-
vention work in Vermont was
found necessary because of the
disastrous fires in recent wears,
especial'-' last year. A full time
man has not been in charge of the
work since good many years.
