ABANDON HOPE OF AVERTING STRIKE
 SETFOR APRIL 1
Government to Go No Further at Present, But Merely to Await Developments in
 Threatened WaIkout
By Associated Press

Washington, March 13.-Little hope for averting of a strike in the unionized bituminous coal fields on April 1 was held out today in those official circles which are most concerned with the repeated govern ment attempts to bring about an ad- justment of wage agreements differ ences. Mine operators, it was de- clared, were continuing in their re- fusal to enter agreements with the United Mine Workers looking to the creation of a new wage contract, notwithstanding represent ti s made to them by Secretary of Labor Davis, who holds that existing con- tracts require them at least to enter negotiations regardless of whether such negotiations are carried to com- pletion.
 The United Mine Workers Of Amer lea, the general union organization was declared to be entirely willing to enter conference although insisting upon the maintenance of existing wage scales, which were adopted in 1920. The employers are demanding reductions amounting to 20 ptr cent or more.
 To Await Developments
 II was indicated In official circle today that the government would g3 no further at present but await the dev elopment. of the threatened strike. The decree of possible government intervention later it was said, would be determined by tho degree the strike. if 1t took place, might affect the public welfare. Statistics filed with the labor department indicatG that 65,000,000 tons of coal are now in storage, approximately ten weeks supply for the entire country, tha this amount is rapidly being aug mented and that nonunion production is tending to increase. Local agree ments between the union and opera tors are also expected to go into effect on or before April 1, which would insure maintenance of further operations.
 Secretary Davis was said to be maintaining a policy of hands off with reference to the anthracite sit- uation, on the ground that the opera tors and miners were now conferring and that prospects were at least hope ful that wage contracts would be made. Officials declared there was no reason to believe that coal strike would spread to other industries and 1 took occasion to point out that in ! 1903, when general strike develop i ed in the antraqite regions. kprmer i President Roosevelt did not 1nterfefs until it had been in progress for six months.
 John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine workers, was expected to arrive in Washington tomorrow bus then goes immediately to New York to participate in the anthracite ne- gotiations.

Keeping physically fit is a great as
set in warding off infection and thus
avoiding the risk of further damage to
Your heart.
Heart damage in many cases, if
taken at an early stage, can be en-
tire1y cured.
Established heart disease, in most
cases, if properly cared for, becomes
stationary. 1t is not progressive.
Find your limitations and live with
in them. You can have a happy and
useful life in spite of your handicap.
There are many occupations both
attractive and lucrative which may be
suited to your capacity. 8
Do not fold your hands in idleness
because you have been told that you
have heart disease.
There are very few patients with
diseaser hearts who are too i'll to go to
school and complete their education
Education increases your earning ca
pacity and opens for you a large va
riety of occupations which demand
only moderate physical eXertion.
Many persons with serious heart
disease have, by following a suitable
mode of life, completed careers full
of years and usefulness. You can do
the same.
Preventive Measures
Incidence of heart disease can be
greatly reduced. A considerable NUM-
Der of those having heart disease
make a complete recovery and regain
health. There are others with dam
aged hearts who will suffer very little
or&no incapacity if they will secure
good advice and adapt their mode of
living to accord with the rules which
long study and wide experience have
proved effective.
The method of meeting this prob
lem alike for the community and the
individual is to face the facts. knowl-
edge is power. Nothing is to be gain
ed by an ostrich-like attitude of bury
ing our heads in the sands of ignor-
ance.

When A Girl M0yries
BY ANN Isle

| Carlottta how much better you've
| done by her than just-keeping her
| secret. If you knew more about
| women you'd let NEE
| Heaven forefend that I should I'M
| derstand the intricacies of reasoning
in which you are now indulging-
and you usually so sane," Tony
| laughed. But now let's return to
| business. It's all settled I take
you to the bank tomorrow
Not so FAST begged, hesitating
| now that I was brought face to face
with the imminence of accepting help
from anYone-moSt of all from the
man of whom Jim is so Jealous
MY dear child. we've argued and
meandered and bickered all through
dinner. But there never was a chance
Of your escaping me-unless you pre-
fer to let Carlptta arrange the credit
through Pat"
Tony's face looked innocent enough
as he f1icked me on the raw spot by
suggesting the arrangeme tent which
would put me in such a humiliatfng
position. This meant that Virginia
would know how near failure I'd
been. 1t meant also that some day
Jim would know. I couldn't bear to
have Jim despise me or sneer~at me
as he might if Virginia told him the
story, with all the fine shades of sar-
casm and innuendo she could man
age. Rather than that I'd risk arous-
ing again Jim's increasing jealousy,
which had once estranged US when
he commanded that I give up Tony's
friendship and 1 refused to obey
command"
That terrible severing quarrel took
place long ago. I'm sure can count
on Jim'S having grown enough in
faith in me so that he will accept
Tony now for what he is-a wonder
full friend.
Moreover, I have a half-mischiev-
ious, half hopeful matchmaking atti
tude toward Tony. The secret which
is no secret except in Carlotta's i'm
agination will bind them close. He'll
be a bit tender toward her for her
deIicacy of feeling where I'm con-
cerned. And Carlotta will be at home
with TonY-free to take an attitude
of honest and natural friendliness to-
ward him, since it was she who had
sent him to me in my time of need.
I remember how Carlotta had once
said that she'd never take Tony from
the woman who needed him. Once I
had thought she felt it was Betty who
needed his friendship so much that
it wouldn't be fair to trespass on his
t1Ine- NOW L 1eel Id1TIy sure InaI Sne
thinks it is I. The blunder
gives me a chance to clear the way
for the glory of love Cariotta has in
her heart for Tony, if only he can be
made to open his eyes and see. He
calls himself "battered old hulk
Carlotta can teach him how much a
man he is to the woman who loves
him.
I didn't realize what a long gap of
silence I'd permitted to fall between
US as romanced away But sudden
ly Tony repeated his question with a
trace of urgency.
''Anne-who is to aid you in the
purely business transaction of estab-
fishing credit-getting a loan-frorn
the bank? Pat or I?''
You" I flung back firmly.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THOSE WHO
HAVE HEART DISEASE

|, (Note: This article, as well as the
article yesterday on heart disease, is
| taken from a lecture syllabus on heart
disease issued by the Association fol-
the Prevention and Relief tof Heart
Disease, New York City.)
No matter how we'll you feel, have
a careful examination by a physician
| at least once in six months in order
that any changes may be early discov-
cred and suggestions made for meet
| ing your condition before the dam
| age becomes more serious
| Your physician viii advise you as to
how much exercise you should take
Some do best with a very limited
amount of activity, others can take
a reasonable amount of physical exer-
| ton with benefit.
| Choose your amusem entS and work
with a view to these limitations.
Try to avoid situations which are
| likely to induce emotional excitement
Such occasions temporarily disturb
the heart action and in a damaged
heart may produce permanent injury.
Spend not less than 10 hours out
of the "a in bed, and secure short pc
RODS of rest during the day.
Get a vacation regularly.
Eat simple plain food, not too
much and not too little. Keep your
weight normal. for your height and
age Do not allow yourself to get
too fat. Do not allow yourself to be-
come undernourished. CThe empha-
sis on this is mine-L. H. P.)
Drugs should be taken only under
the advice of a physician. The ma
GRITTY of those having organic heart
disease need drugs only on rare oc-
casions.
If you get any LITTLE infection such
as a cold" or. a sore throat" take
good care of yourself and have good
medical advice. These small infec-
lions are of more serious import for
those with damaged hearts than for
those with normal hearts.
Live hygienically, sleep with your
windows open. sAvoid extremes Of
heat and cold as much as possible.
Keep the feet dry and the bowels reg

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am hard
working girl. I take tan very easily
| and would be much pleased if you
would print a recipe to take off tan.
! Could you tell me anything for a
| bad complexion?
TANNED.
| Lemons should always be placed
on summer dressing tables, for this
| fruit is an excellent bleach. It Should
| be understood. however, that the acid
| is not strong enough to remove deep
color, and that only by applying it
constantly the result will be effica-
| cious. Also like every other such
whitener, it has disadvantag es, and
| constant application of it is drying.
| For this reason its effect must be
watched, and if there comes an ap-
pearance of chapping, for a few days
use of the acid must be omitted. This
is less likely to occur in warm than
in cold weather.
Pimples may be the result of so
many different causes that what will
cure them for one person will be use
less for another. and SO all one can
say is that if faithful trials of ex-
ternai remedies do not benefit, a ply
s:cian should be consulted. Often,
applications of a lotion made from
half an ounce of glycerine, a pint
of camphor water and a quarter of an

mixture is good for the skin, if used

A Budding Romance

Lear MISS Fairfax:
There is a young man with whom
I am very friendly and care a great
deal about. have every reason to
believe that he cares for me. We
are not engaged. He lives about 500
miles from me and has come to my
home several times for week-ends
Is it proper for me to visit his home
for a week at his mothers invitation
when we are not engaged?
Is it his place to send me carfare
to visit his home. since it costs a con-
siderable amount? D. J. c.
If the young mans mother-or sis
ter-Writes to ask you to visit his
home, then your going there will have
all possible sanction and dignity. But
if you go as his guest, without an in
vitation from his family, they are
likely to consider you forward and
bit of an intruder. If you do make
this visit, it is your place to pay your
own fare - though if his people are
well-to-do, they may present you with
your ticket when you are ready to
return. Be very careful how you
handle this situation. If the man
cares for you. but is not quite sure of
his feelings, a lack of delicacy may
spoil your budding romance.

You never had a chance with this

engaged to the man she loves. She
took a, simple yet direct way of show

you and cares for some one else.

Do you think I would be doing

nScessity of turning down the young
man with the sterling qualities since
he is willing that you should go with
other young men too. Why don't you
keep the handsome one as a friend
