HELP THE NEW GIRL?
By RUTH LEIGH

A very successful business woman of my acquaintance had occasion re- gently to recommend another woman friend to a position which brought a $5,000-a-year salary. We were dis cussing reasons which led to her recommendation of this friend.
 Aside from her ability to fill and hold that job we'll" said this busi- ness woman, T know she will make good; she has the right spirit in busl- ness. When I took my first position with a big mail order house she was the only one in our office who took the trouble to approach me in a friendly way, introduce herself and offer to help me until l knew the ropes.
 This successful business woman claims that in no way does one show herself more plainly than in her at titude toward newcomers in an of flee.
 How do you act toward new girls who come to work at your officer Do you blithely go your way, forgetting their existence, or on their very first day do you approach them with a smile and say:
 "How do you do? I am Miss Smith. If there is anything I can do to help you feel more at home, please don't hesitate to ask me-"
 You may not uso just these words nor this method of approach, but the important thing is to be kindly enough toward stranger in your of flee to make her feel just little bet ter on her first day.
 Do you know how any one feels on her first day in strange place? Do you know the uncertainty, the fear, the depression? The shrinking from curious glances cast on her by others in the Office? Have you ever been new girl'' in a strange place?
 Just show a little kindness toward stranger in your office, if she is only & temporary worker Put your self in her place and think how much better it would make you feel if some one were. to approach you in a pleasant way and offer to help you,

 "PERPLExED."

C0URTSHIP, MARRIAGE
By BETTY VINCENT

Dear Miss Vincent: I have been going around with young lady whom love dearly and expect some day to wed She has told me repeat edly that she loves me and l feel certain that she does, but her &C., ttons cause me to wonder many times. When we attend parties and dances, she naturally attracts men, who seem to take a great fancy to her. I detest this and as result we always wind up with a quarrel. My parents object to her, and yet can help loving her, but what would married life hold for us If can't trust her? Please help me solve this situation.
 Be certain of your fiancee and of yourself. Have you jealous dispo- sition? If so, try to curb this at once. On the other hand, if you find your fiancee flirts and encourages these men, you might do well to take yGur parents advice and give her up. Is 1t your fault or that of your fiance? Your own heart will tell you.

THE PERPETUAL GRIN

The man w<lc always wears grin may be a happy gink. but every time
 we chance to meet my heart begins
 to sink. I'm often worried and I'm blue and that is just the time the grin perpetual is apt to drive me to a crime. The man who always wears
 grin can't think so very deep. He
 gives me the impression that he grins all through his sleep. I'm sure his brain contains a kink that sets the wheels awry. The grin Is useful now and then. but also, is the sigh.
 When things go wrong I'd rather meet the fellow with the frown. I cant appreciate just then the antics Of the clown. The grinning person as I've said, may be a happy gink, but there are times that silly grin will drive a man to drink.

CENTENARIAN MARRIED SO LONG AGO HE CAN'T
 REMEMBER ABOUT WIFE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.-Declared to be the oldest white man in Cali fornia, Charles F. Ames, known to his friends at Altadena, where he makes his home, as "Uncle Charlie" ;" recently celebrated his 105th birth day.
 Ames was born in Massachusetts in 1918 and came to California from Mississippi 20 years ago, he says.
 "Dunno," said "Uncle Charlie" when asked what was his secret formula for long living, "unless it is that I've been used to tobacco and whisky all my life-no, not whiskey lately, except when I could get it."
 The aged man said something about his domestic life could have been smoother, but that he was married many years ago and had really forgotten what ever did hap pen to his wife.

ENGLISH AIRCRAFT
 SHIPS SOON READY

LONDON. Jan. 3O.--TWO new Eng fish naval aircraft carriers of com pletely novel design shortly are to be placed in commission with the British fleet
 One of these ships was specially designed by the British Admiralty and is claimed to be the biggest ship of it's kind in the world, embodying all the latest landing and launching i'm prOvements.
 The unusual feature of these two vessels, hitherto not employed Tn British aircraft carriers, is that the tunnels, mast and superstructure are not in the center, but on the star board side, amidships, thus leaving ample flying-off and alighting space.
 The largest of the two, the Eagle, is of 26,200 tons displacement and is fitted with two hangars, which will accommodate more than twenty aero planes, which will be raised to the fly ing-off deck by electric elevators. Although at the time she was laid down the demand was all for size in this type of ship experts now say that the extreme vulnerability of the flying decks makes it very question able whether the gigantic carriers are not mistake, and it is expected that any further new ships of this type will be on a smaller scale.

LIQUOR BUSINESS
 SP0ILS COPS SLEEP

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. 30. - Con- blaming that their siestas are serious ly disturbed by the brawls resulting from the selling of liquor by the demi- john instead of by the glass, the po- lice here are agitating for the return of the former "by the glass" system in order that few officers may stand watch while the others get their need ed rest.
 The attempt to diminish the sale and consumption of liquor in Tahiti by closing the public saloons has re- suited in a failure, according to the police. The law provides that liquor cannot be dispensed by the glass at the place of sale, but allows any quan- tity to be sold by the bottle or demi- john to be taken in that form from the premises.
 The result has been that every small Chinese shop has stocked rum in bottles and demiiohns and has pro- Vided convenient back rooms, alleged to be restaurants, where strong fIav- ored liquids are served in tea cups. Therefore, the sale of liquor has spread to every part of the city, and the resultant fights cut deeply into the day sleeping hours of the police.
 Statistics prove, the police assert. that the consumption of liquor has greatly increased under the present system.
