THE Ethics of Courtship-1
BIZ DOROTHr DIX
Worlds nshss4 Paid Woman writer.

LhC Vi
A young boy, suffering from a vio-
lent attack of first love, asks me il
1 will tell him how to conduct court
ship.
Why, son, there isn't any cut and
dried recipe for wooing a maiden like
there is for making a sponge cake.
You cannot say, follow this rule and
you cannot fail. Nor can any stranger
chart out the road to woman's favor,
and say step on the gas and get into
high speed here; slow down, and be
careful not to skid there. Turn to
the right at this spot, and avoid the
pitfall on the left, and eventually, you
will arrive safely at your land of
hearts desire.
You see it all depends on the girl,
and the time, and the place, and these
are all uncertain quantities, which is,
perhaps, the reason that love making
is the greatest game in the world, and
a sport of which men never tire. But
the great lovers, unlike the great golf
ers and the great whist players, have
never told the world how they turned
the trick, nor diagrammed their star
plays.
The way of courtship is, therefore,
a primrose path that every youth must
explore for himself, but there are GER
tain signboards that one may erect
along the road that may serve to guide
the pilgrim of love on his quest.
On the first of these signboards I
would write Come Not Too Often and
larry Not Too Long
If woman is wildly and madI4E in
fatuated with, a man she may want to
see him every day, and enjoy listening
to him talk hours upon end, but this
calls for a deathless devotion, and if
you have the slightest doubt of the
lady'S affection, administer your So
ciety to her in small and broken
doses.
No man so queers himself as he
who is ALWAYS undertook and who
comes to be as familiar. and as little
considered as faithful Fido that dogs
her steps. Make your visits, there
fore, often enough to keep the girl
interested in you, and looking for
ward to your coming. Also keep her
vanity piqued by making her won
der If you are coming, and If she
has charms enough to keep you fas-
cinated, but don't become one of the
steady workers who can be counted
upon to punch the time clock every
evening that rolls around. Any girl
on earth gets tired of man who
camps on her door step.
And when you call on a girl, don't
stay too long. No human being on
earth has got line of conversation
that win hold a listener for more
than two consecutive hours. Say your
little piece, and call it a. day and quit,
If you want to make a good impress
sion. The early Christian martyrs
have nothing in suffering on the
agonies Of BOREDOM that girls go, thru
in listening to the driVe1 of men who
stay on and on until the very clock
yawns in their faces. Be not one of
these, and when a girl suggests turn
ing on the photograph, let that be
your get ;~way $ignal. Tt means she
would rather listen to jazz record
than you.
And when you start to leave, go as
if you were shot out of a gun. Re
fleet that most girls have on shoes
three sizes too tight for them. and
they want no lingering adieus that
keep them on their feet.

Etica1.
1t is. in short. discomfort that has
swept the country. The chaotic situa-
tton in congress could hardly fail to
stimulate such discomfort. Drifting,
cowardly surrender to Diocs, failure

voters to hit out right and left, strik-
ing down individuals on their personal

The chief lesson of the confused.
freak results of the congressional

of sound leadership. OF a return to

TO MAKE MARRIAGE SANE.

10 MANI 1lAtkfhkaO6 0a1AE4.
The preparation of a bill establish
ing national marriage and divorce reg
ulations for introduction in the next
congress is announced by the General
Federation of Women's Clubs. The
organization has authorized q draft of
the bill and a resolution amending the
constitution of the United States if
such a course is necessary to make
possible a federal marriage law.
Provisions of the bill would make
marriage more difficult, it is stated,
and would allow divorce on one of
only five grounds, enumerated as fol-
lows: Infidelity, incurable insanity,
abandonment for one year. cruel and
inhuman treatment or conviction of
an Infamous crime. once granted,
such a divorce would be valid in every
state. but neither party to a divorce
would be permitted to remarry until
one year after the inrerlocutory de-
cree was granted. The bill would pro-
vide also that applications for mar
rage licenses be posted two weeks
prior to the ceremony.
Kansas apparently is not disposed

subject of marriage. Two years ago
the governor appointed a commits
sion to revise the child labor and
school laws of the state and report
to the legislature of 1928. Its report
has been prepared and the more i'm
portant provisions which 1t contains
have been made public. 1t may be
assumed that the persons who were
elected to the legislature last week,
will have some idea of what will con-
front them before the report is Of
ficiaIly in their hands
They will note among other things
that if the recommendations become
laws notices of application for a mar
riage license, giving the names of the
contracting parties, must be published
in daily newspapers for ten consecu-
tive days and also be posted on bull
letin boards in county and city build
ings; for. so the commission says,
This necessary delay between the is
suance OF the license and the mar
riage ceremony will give time for re-
Election. and will have the effect of
preventing many hasty marriages that
take place under the influence of a
bet, a party or other excitement"
I'VE cannot imagine" says the
Hartford Courant in commenting on
the report. that the proposed law
will meet opposition from the daily
newspapers of the state but something
ought to be said for the country
weeklies OF which the state has many
in proportion to it's dailies. as publica-
ton in the area in which the apph-
cants are best known ought to be
regarded as highly desirable
A second clause requires that each
person. must be subjected to an ex-
animation by a physician before Ii
cense may be>granted. False swearing
in order to obtain a license is pun
ishable by a fine of $500.
Kansas" says the Courant, sis
bound to be an interesting common
wealth as long as it is willing, as it
generally is, to experiment. Its in
dustriaI court interests every state in
the United States and its dealings
with Mr.. Howat and his followers
have been heartening. Whether it can
make marriage both safe and sane is
altogether another thing"

BUSINESS men
DISCUSS TANK

THE proposed swimming pool for
Bonners Ferry and the coming two
county picnic were the main subjects
of discussion at the weekly club
luncheon at the international Hotel
Monday evening. The committee
working out the cost estimates for
the tank had not completed its work
Harley Cave, a member of the commit
tee, said he had gone over the grounds
of the proposed site near the new
school building and found that 4 fill Of
approximately two and one-half feet
would be necessary to bring the bot
ton of the tank to a height where it
could be drained into the sewer This
opened quite a lengthy discussion on
the ways and means of filling, with
definite action withheld pending a re-
port on the cost, which will probably
be made at the next meeting. George
Causton, who is Scoutmaster for local
Troop No. 5. of the Boy Scouts, was
present and spoke enthusiastically for
the building of a tank. He urged that
the club let nothing stand in the way
of building the tank as soon as pos
sible.
Some evening this week q committee
composed of w. C. Reid, j. H. Cave,
ID. c. Mcdonald, H. j. Monks and J. r.
Tilley will meet with a committee
from the Standpoint Commercial club
and arrange for the celebration and
picnic which is to be held jointly by
Boundary and Bonner counties in
commemoration of the north and
south highway, which will be COM
pleted this fall. The Standpoint COM
mittee is composed of George r. Bar
ker, r. S. McCrea, Harry Driscoll, G.
III. Martin and H. L. Thomasen. 1t
was first proposed to hold the picnic
with the completion of the four-mile
stretch north of Standpoint, but as
this part of the highway will not be
finished before fall, from present in
dications, the picnic will be held in
anticipation of the completion of the
road.
AS a member of the committee on
mining, Mr.. Causton urged that all
local mining properties be represented
with ore displays at the mining con-
gress to be held in Spokane this
winter.
II. L. Fewkes, of Rexford, was Wis
itor at the luncheon.

Mr.. Whitbeck was instructed to say
that as soon as the general office can
whip things into shape the proceed

the convention was success and
many expressions were made indicat-

kind in the world. California and
the other Pacific coast states are max

by the work that the Shoshone people

PREDICTS LOANS TO FARMERS
Congressman Smith Says Loan Bin
WIN Pass.

Passage of Legislation by congress
10 permit the war finance corporation
To make longtime loans to farmers
ana stockmen, was predicted Saturday
nlght by Representative Addison II
smith, who declared that the 9O-day
loan did not meet the existing emer-
gency.
The federal farm loan fund has
been increased by large appropria-
tlons and the issuance of additional
farm loan bonds, making millions of
dollars available to the farmers
through the farm loan board" Mr.
smith asserted, after reviewing the
work OF the war finance corpora
tion.
Declaring that the emergency tariff
bill is adequately protecting the farm
ers while passage of the Fordney tar
III bill is pending, Mr.. Smith asserted
that delay in passing the bill was not
adversely affecting the farmer and
stock grower
Under the provisions of the emer-
gency law, the enormous quantity of
agricultural products which came into
TINS country under the Underwood
tariff law, was rapidly curtailed. and
our own producers, by reason of the
restoration to them of our home mar
kets, are again receiving fair prices
for their products, which will doubt
less increase as normal conditions are
restored.
1T is unusual" remarked Mr.
Smith, for the house of representa-
tives to be in recess while the senate
continues in session, but as the house
is so far ahead of the senate in the
passage of bills, there was no good
reason why the members should con-
tinue in session, and the senate will
ngly passed resolution permitting
the house to stand in recess from july
l to August Is. when it is expected
that the senate will have passed the
tariff bill"
Confidence that congress will PASS
the Smith-McNary reclamation bin
which carries with it an appropriation
of $3.50 100000, was expressed by Mr.
Smith, who said: IF it isn't passed
this session as an amendment to the
compensation bill, | am sure that ii
will 80 through the next session"
