Entry blanks for the independ-
ent series will be ready shortly,
If the printers promise is full
filled. June Is is the last day
entries will be accepted and it is
expected that most of the teams
will wait until the last day or
two to turn in their rosters.
After the closing of entries no
team manager will be permitted
to change his list Of players.
Many begged for the privilege
last year. This trip they will
take plenty of time to do the
thing right in the first place.
Because of punk performances In
several games, the Union Printers
have dropped several notches in the
ranking Of leading teams. Anyway,

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
-By Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going about
with young lady for five years.
Although nothing has been said
about marriage we understand
each other thoroughly. have pro.
fessed our love for each other,
but we are uncertain because of
religion and consequently are
quite miserable.
In order to satisfy ourselves
as to our affection we agreed
to leave each other for year
and / left town. I mingled in
the company Of other girls,
and even tried to interest my
self in one or two, but the only
satisfaction I received was that
/ had made my final choice.
/ found myself comparing my
sweetheart with other girls
and realizing how far superior
she was.
In my case il means loss of
family and friends, although 1
have been told that true friends
forgive anything.
Don't ask me to transfer my af-
fections elsewhere or to for
get her, as that is impossible.
But tell me how to arrive at
some compromise, as this
means everything to us. r. M.
Five YEARS devotion is a
real test of love. When you
added the year Of separation and
found that the tie of love and
understanding still held, you
proved fairly conclusively thai
you have something too big 20
disregard, Perhaps all you lack
is firmness, courage and the con-
viction VIII .ch sweeps all before
1t.
do not know how great the
barrier Of family objections is,
but l believe even that can be
Surmountei " sane, honest
and preselVeYing attitude What
is there Cor your friends to for
give if you fine the great love
which is he goal of all hearts?
All religions are based on u
belief in rAe great Creator whose
children We are and to whom we
owe the proof of our worship in
brotherly love. IF We cannot
love your brother whom We hav'.
seen. how can We love God whom
We have not .ecn?" Prejudice and
old traditions cannot stand be,
fore a big he nea, love. You must
find the courage to prove and
demonstrate your feeling.
