Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Why is it
that the first few times a boy meets
me he seems to think a lot of me,
but after having met me few times,
he has not much time for me? l dress
neatly and am quite stylish. / am not
a very laxative girl LONESOME
Do not look to, material things such
as dress to hold the interest of a
young man. Unless you yourself are
entertaining and charming, the fact
that you dress stylishly will mean lit
tie. '
Incessant talk is stylish, but there is
a happy medium / think you will
find that your lack of ability to keep
up a conversation comes from lack of
inauguration or mental laziness. Az
ply your mind to the situation and
you will find number of things to
say.
When you are with young man
feel that it is as much your place to
entertain him as it is his to entertain
you. Try to be more interesting and
also appreciate the interesting points
about the men who call on you.

Mr.. Beveridge said in part:

Weeks ago my opponent made two
appeals for the support of farmers

six bills for the relief of those who
produce the nations food. All OF
these were what are termed farmer

passed without a roll call and on the
day two were passed my opponent an

measures for which he did not vote, Oh

VESSELS BULL IN SECllUNS
Ships Intended for Operation on Lakes
Far Inland Are Now Trans
ported Piecemeal.

A well-known shipbuilding firm in
the north of England is at tire present
time building a vessel which will be
carried to africa In portions. 1t will
be re-assembled ut its ultimate desti-
nation.
Every year ships are built in Great
Britain for use on lakes and inland
waters in all parts of the world. Usu-
ally these are built and bolted togeth-
er in the shipyard before being taken
to pieces and sent to distant parts in
separate packages.
A large mission steamer built some
years ago for use on Lake Nyassa, in
Africa, was erected in England as If
for launching. But no rivets were
used; bolts and nuts held the steel
framework together. The sides, port
and starboard, were painted in differ
emit colors, and every bar, plate, and
piece of steelwork bore different
number and letter.
Thus the builders in Africa could
tell at a glance whether plate be-
ionged TO one side or the other: the
exact position it was intended to oc-
cupy was denoted by the reference
number and letter.
In order to facilitate transport, this
steamer was divided into over three
thousand packages, each of which
weighed from half a hundredweight to
FIVE hundredweights.
The greatest difficulty encountered
in sending these ships abroad is with
the boilers and masts. The boilers
weigh many tons, and the masts are
difficult to handle on account of their
length.
