 Stopped By Showers Falling
 Intermitting rainy periods during the past several days have halted work from time to time on many streets where improvements<were be- ing made and stopped work on the auditorium on more than one oc- casion.
 Thursday all work on the auditor ium was halted flat by the rain, mainly because the work is as yet in the open and in the driving down pour Thursday afternoon there was nothing to do but stop.
 On street improvements the rain is even more delaying, for gutter ing and grading are interefered with and much o1 the work, often, has to be done all over again.
 Most of the auditoriums founda- tions are in place now and car penters are busy making the woden forms for the concrete of the walls and partitions to be poured into.
 The present period of auditorium construction is getting this wood work ready. then placing it ready for the concrete mixture.

H. c., Montpelier. Idaho
Well, my dear. have you noticed that
some persons always comb their hair
the same way (they may vary IL some.
but the effect Is always the same) until
1t becomes a part of them and we can
scarcely imagine or recognize them
without this individual style of hair
dressing. think this is true in Mabel
Ballin's case. Can you picture her as
looking natural or well In a severe
Marcel wave such as Gloria Swanson
effects? / cannot. AS for Nita Naldi.
poor thing, she can't change her eyes
can she? They fit in with her person
ality though. and these same wicked
eyes" have played no small part in her
rise to popularity in the class of pic
lures which she portrays. (2) Waxed
paper or ordinary newspaper seems to
be the best to curl bobbed hair. Yes.
do think curling irohs harmful. unless
one Is very careful to not overhead
the iron and has the hair protected by
an application of one of the various
oils" Yes. you have overreached the
limit. and i hope you can find time to
write again when you can submit the
rest OF your questions.

| Dear Miss Brooks:
This is the first time we have written
| to you for advice. We have a few cues
tions we would like you to answer for
us II you will. ID Is IT proper for girls
sixteen years of age to keep company
with boys. age eighteen and twenty?
We have been going with them over a
year and they have treated US royal and
they haven't gone with any other girls
since they have started to go with us?
Is IL improper to go with any other
boys when you have steady fellow
and he Is away from home for a time?
CD What is the latest dance record or
song? t3) VIII you please publish the
song called. Il Amt Nobody's Baby?"
(4) Is 1t improper for a boy to give
girl ring for a present and is II wrong
for girl to wear her fellows rings?
Wishing you much success In your
work, we remain,
BUG and DUNK. OF Dixie
% Yes. girls. the ages are all right
but you should be just beginning to go
with the boys l think 1t much better
for you to go with more than Just one
boy. than that you should go steadily
with only one. Boys and girls your
age are going out together for Just a
nice, social time. and not wanting or
expecting to fall in love. you should
not expect or wish the attention of only
one boy or girl. but just be good friends
and pals with all the boys and girls for
a few years yet am sure you would |
have much jollier, better time to- |
gether In this way. (2) Among the |
late dance records are Those Star
Spangled Nights in Dixieland," and |

popular songs are, Kentucky Echoes"

Blue" CD The song requested may be

to accept expensive presents from boys.
To wear your friends ring for a time is
quite proper.
