Dear Mrs. Thompson: / know
that have made a terrible mis-
take, but / am paying dearly for it
now, and / can blame no one ex-
cept myself. Give me your best
advice please.
A little more than one year ago
/ saw a man and fell in love with
him at first sight. This man was
the manager of an Office near the
one in which / am employed. ! saw
him pass our Office several times
daily, and soon got to the point
of watching for his passing. AS
the days passed by, / knew that !
was falling madly in love. for the
first time in my life. This man
and I were never introduced, but
.he often came into our office for
little purposes, and seemed to adj
mire me from a distance.
Days passed into months and
months into years, and then one
day / heard that he was being
transferred to town hundreds of
miles away. My heart was broken,
and I grieved myself almost to
dEo@A. Va WCChc LdFc kIlGVcl
and just feel that / am on the
verge of insanity.
Then one day I accidently learn
ed at what hotel he was staying,
and did very foolish thing-wrote
him letter. 1t was letter which
contained nothing which would
be ashamed for any living person
to know. Yet, I am sorry that
wrote him. / should have known
that if he had cared for me he
would have written. But l had
worried and grieved until had nc
reasoning sense. II I had realized
what / was doing I am sure that
common sense would have compel
led me to forget him. In that let
ter l told him that if he cared tc
correspond to address me at the
address below; if on the contrary
he did not care for me as friend
Just to be kind enough to return
the letter to me.
About week after he received
my letter ! saw him pass by ou1
office. but he did not even glance
in at the door as he went by. But
/ thought he would either phone ms
or see me later. He did neither

GRAY EYES.
You had no claim on the man,
not even enough to expect him to
bother to return your letter. Do
not write again because he has de-
stroyed the letter without a doubt.
Another letter would only COM
promise you further. When you
meet the man and his wife on the
street consider them strangers and
do not speak.
Instead of being In love with the
man. you are in love with an ideal
created In your mind which does
not exist in reality. You can stop
thinking of him if you really want
to. Doubtless you enjoy dreaming
about love and pretending you have
found the man who meets your re-
quirements. If you want peace Of
mind. however. you will control
your thoughts.

EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES.

Theodore Roosevelt said that extraordinary
measures were demanded by extraordinary cir
cumstances, and proceeded to compulsory arbi-
tration in the coal strike of 1902. To protect
the public from advancing coal prices, Herbert
Hoover assumed personal responsibility for
method Of price repression for which there Is
no authority in law. In either the end usti-
fled the means. but why should means not be
prescribed by law after 20 years of industrial
strife which has frequently threatened to tie
up" the country7
In the industrial world the extraordinary
congress enacted law to prevent a railroad
strike. Later the government was threatened
with another railroad strike but did not yield.
Now wage reduction ordered by the railway
wage board sends strike ballots to the affected
railroad employees. When congress was COM
PEELED to pass the Adamson act, it should have
prepared to protect all branches of the govern
ment from future coercive attempts, and at the
same time provide some method of adjustment
of industrial controversies so that the business
of the county could not seriously be disturbed.
Legislation is applied to almost every prob
lem except that of industrial peace. If there
were less politics and more business in congress
extraordinary measures would not have to be
taken by presidents and their secretaries per-
sonally, and they would not have to assume re-
sponsibilities that belong to government as
whole.

EUROPE MUST HELP ITSELF.

Carlo Schanzer, Italys foreign minister,
who appreciates more than many of his con-
temporaries the fundamental ideals of American
purpose expresses the opinion that the time is
at hand when the United States will participate
in European affairs. The hour, he thinks. has
not yet struck. but it is at hand.
Insomuch as that event waits, not on the
whim of the American people, but on the resolu-
ton of events, the verdict of Signor Schanzer
is as useful and accurate as any other No one
doubts that this country has an important and
even essential part in world affairs. It's concern
with things beyond its own territory is as wide
as the impulse of men to liberal living; it could
not wish, and certainly never has professed, an
isolation which denies the brotherhood of re-
publican principles. First among all nations it
has proclaimed the theory that boundaries are
gateways, not walls.
Signor Schanzer has every means at his
disposal to determine with accuracy when the
hour of American participation is likely to
strike The foreign policy of tbs country is
very open one; its position on this. as on every
other international issue, has been made plain.
No sane statesman in any European country but
knows accurately the exact conditions necessary
to American association and the exact condl-
tons which delay it. The United States is ready
to help Europe, or Asia, for that matter on
basis of world progress; it has no wish to play
pawnbroker. Sgnor Schanzer probably has adj
vices that Europe intends to make it possible for
the United States to help her by sturdy measures
to help herself. That's the first point.
FIRECRACKERS WILL come higher this
year because of labor conditions in China. Thus
the Orient progresses steadily onward.
