nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have loved a girl for two
years and expected to marry
her shortly. Now I learn in q
matter-of-fact way from my
fiancee that she and a girl
friend picked up" two fellows
and went out with them for an
evening.
Wouldn't you doubt that this
was true love? Wouldn't you
pause and think that IL such
condition exists during an en-
gagement period, what will hap
pen when the exhilarating Pc
Rod Of marriage has passed?
What shall I do2 J. L. M.
DON'T magnify foolish and
indiscreet moment into some
thing big and vital. What your
fiancee did was in very bad taste.
but she was honest enough to tell
you Of her Silly little lark. Make
her realize the rashness and folly
Of her action by explaining to her
just how lightly men value a girl
they meet as she permitted herself
to be met. Don't reproach her. or
act as IL you were a stern Judge
trying to decide on a verdict. But
bring her around to a recognition
that a girl who INDUCES in such
''larks'' Is bound to find herself
facing an ugly problem and deal
ing with bold characters who take
1t for granted that she is not a
lady and does not need to be
treated as such.

Government Boards
 Fail to Place Blame

New York, Sept I.-Government commissions are devices that are in i tended to divide responsibility, said Major General Goetha1s, builder of the Panama canal, in a speech in this city.
 Commissions are always ineffi- cient," he said. There is no respon- sible head, but any one can shirk re- sponsibility by throwing 1t on the others. We always want some one who will accept responsibility if any thing has gone wrong.
 "The best definition I can give of boards after my association with them during the war; and with com missions while we were constructing the canal, is that they are long, mar row and wooden
 The popular demand of relieving tn President of much work can be met by abolishing some of these commissions, said General Goethals.
 eff today we would re-organize the government, abolish some com missions and transfer their duties to executive department heads, and hold them responsible, the Presidents bur den would be relieved and we would get back to the first principles of our government"

 Elimination of the I2-hour day at all mills and furnaces of tn United States Steel Corporation was accom- 'plished here with no signs of distur- bance. Carnegie steel heads stated that all departments were operating full with plenty of workmen."
 From Youngstown 1t Is stated em- ployers express fear that employees will begin to think, now that they will not work I2 hours
 Problem of occupying the idle time of workmen, especially foreign born, IS one before employers" says this dispatch. "It is realized the ad- ditional idle hours afford labor agita- tors and malcontents more opportun- ity to spread their propaganda"

BY THE WAY Comment and Criticism About Things Doing in the World.

At this writing there is an inter- estIng situation in the anthracite min ing field. Here are some facts. Put them together
 The mine owners refuse to reach an agreement withNth miners. They say, let a strike come
 The department of justice sends a halt dozen men into the mining dis trlct ready to spring injunctions that will forbid everything but breathing.
 The reds have been and are now conducting campaign of demoraliza- ton and disruption among the miners
 The mine owners hire Ivy Lee, big business press agent par excellence, to tell the public the truth" as the mine owners want 1t told Money is beginning to flow into publicity in large quantities.
 Interesting facts. Meanwhile, across the ocean. the Socialist Review, organ of the Inde- pendent Labor Party, which guides the Labor Party, speaks kindly of MT. Fosters disruption campaign, in an article written by J. S.>Woods- worth
 Wordsworth speaks of the resent ment" in Canada against United States "domination"-a resentment which exists only in the minds of those who don't like successful Amer 1can trade unionism.
 Wordsworth tells one truth. He says the Foster movement takes "a great deal of it's inspiration from Mos COW. Even that puts 1t mildly.
 There has been mad scramble in H. f II the west and middle west Little price cutting along the Atlantic sea- board. Perhaps the customers fall easier.
 But take little cheer, good people, from this price war It will all end amicably, with many little fish inside of the big fish, and happiness thus restored to the oil family.
 Prices will then go back to where they belong" and we will all again contribute generously to the mainte- nance of the oligarchy of oil
 Competition is the life of trade and the spice of 1t also, but the big fel- and they use 1t only now and then by way of helping the process of di- gestion and assimilation Perhaps that IS at Is should be.
 If Congress were in session there would be great many speeches on the subject, but it's just as well that we miss the speeches.
 The National Industrial Conference Board reports that wages continue to rise, but not as rapidly as in former 
 ! The National Industrial Conference Board is perhaps the smoothest of all of employers. Its right name should be National Labor Hat CTS Propaganda Organization.
 MT. Magnus Alexander, who doesn't push himself into the limelight too much, is director. He is shrewd and probably gets good pay for that reason.
 But the National Industrial what ever-it-is Board needn't be worried about any let-up in wage increases. Labor isn't going to quietly let the exploiters push up the cost of living without all proper opposition to that sweet little game
