anything Of that kind. He knew that
no matter how hard he might try he
couldn't possibly do 1t to suit Mrs.
Bluebird and that she would undo all

bring the material and let her do the

Youngest Police Chief Halts Crime


 San Antonio. Tex, Feb. 2O-(Spe- ciaD - Thomas J. Martin, credited with being the nations youngest chief of police, is making a bid also for the title of "most efficient chief" At 28 years of age this young man has taught crooks and hoIdup men to fear him and his force. He has cut down crime materially in the few months he has held office.
 He took office December after months of delay due to the refusal of an antagonistic mayor to ratify Martins appointment by the police commissioner. One of Martins first acts was to announce that his men would shoot to kill when their com nlands to suspicious characters went @unheeded. The effect of this order was noticea ble immediately.
 Martin is a World War hero. He was born in Kerrville, Tex, in 1894, and at 16 became a soldier of fortune, being a cowboy in Montana and Can ada, among other things. At 21 he married ard began the study of law at his home town. passing the bar ex- animation in October, 1915. He was 22, the youngest member to enter that body. He resigned to join the army when the war came and was decorat- ed for bravery in action October 10, 1918.
 He reopened law offices in San An tonic in 1920 and jumped into a. tor rid municipal campaign which re- suited in his app 1intment. He has

 Have you a lavender soul, Or a sky-blue pink soul, Or one that is carn1ine or cerise. Or dappIe-gray or heIotrope? It is an important question. For you must tone up Your surroundings to Match your soul. So says a prominent decorator. If you have a mauve soul and you Live in 9. house with blue blinds You are out of luck And not hitting On all cylinders Not in tune with the infinite. If you have a violet soul And the hangdngs of your bed are

E A ELlZAsETH A THOr1PsON :

Dear Mrs. Thompson: What should be done to stop untrue gossip?
 It seems to be a habit of the people of this locality to talk about young people and, of course, there are al- ways some who believe all that is told them. What should a person do to let them know the truth?
 I am a girl of age and do not wish to have people believe anything un- true of anyone. I have always tried to do what was right and think it is the duty of every person to try to keep up her reputation I have never kept company with young men to any extent. CURLEY LOCKS.
 Gossip is one of the most difficult problems in life to handle. Most of 1t is untrue; the smallest statement can be mdsconstrued and distorted until it is enough to ruin reputation.
 The victim of gossip can try to create a new impression by ire proachable conduct. Such a course, however, avails little in most cases. The most satisfactory course is usu- ally to start anew in a different To- cality.
 when you hear unkind remarks about a person, try to counteract the effect by making g, kind remark about that person. Stand up for people and you will squeleh gossip and make friends.
 Dear Mrs. TT1onpson: am a girl IS years old and am in love with man several years older than I am. My people all dislike him because of a few bad habits he has. Should I forget this man and follow my peo- ple's advice? Does a girl over 18 have to do anything her people tell her to do? Please tell me what you thing best for me to do.
