JANETTE: 1 am glad my first let

Truly, you have high ambitions.
You have chosen two hard roads. so
you must expect plenty Of bumps.
I cannot tell whether OF not your
story would be interesting; that would
depend altogether upon your ability
to write. If you wish 70 try it, have
It typewriter and send It to the
magazine to whose needs It seems best
fitted. If 1t comes back, not once but
many times. still you need not feel too
much discouraged; all authors have

I do not advise the motion picture

you have any reason to believe you

IF there is one thing a boy in
J. his "teens'' dislikes, it is in
reference in his affairs.
Mothers know how difficult boys
are to handle at this age. One wrong
word may send them away from the
shelter of the home. On the other
hand, the right kind of treatment will
set them on the straight path and
it's memory will hold them there in
the years to come.

does not interfere.

to go with. My mother objected to her
making the excuse that she acted rather
Icud and faster than a girl should.

mother and the other guests treated her all
right. But as soon as the girl was gone,
one who dressed better than she did. | had
better quit altogether. The girls clothes
were not SNOWY. but she dressed very neatly.
This girl has refused to go with me be-
cause she found out what my mother said
I shall be very grateful II you could give
me any Information as to what course
should follow. Z. J. NJ.
Evidently your mother IS trying to
do what is best for you; I am sure she
does not realize how you feel about
this matter.
A boy of is should be able to han
die his own earnings. You might
persuade your mother to let you take
care of your financial affairs for
awhile, reporting TO her and giving
her a certain sum every week. Then
you could prove your ability.
If the first girl really was loud and
fast your mother had reason for
not wanting you to so with her.
Have a talk with your mother and
show her that yau can not help 1t II
you happen to like a girl who does
not dress stylishly. and that style
does not mean good character.

her advice, but that you are ole

Newspapers and Workers

New York society girls who recently took over the
operation of two big hotels for day in the interest of
charity have been getting lot of publicity in the daily
press Reporters and photographers have We'd in descrb
ing and pcturing their work amateur behops room
clerks, mattresses and vendors.
The same papers which have been almost falling over
themselves to and the daughters of the idle rich for few
hours of work have nothing to say about the girls and
youths, and women, who do the real work of the
hotels 365 days year. year in and year out The hotel
workers counted members of the lower classes and
the papers not interested in them.
Yet it is these same humble workers on whom the
hotels depend II they should suddenly vanish from the
EARTH the hotels would to function. II the hotel
managers should turn to the society girls for relief II m
probable that most of the girls would make sorry show
ing if they actually tried to the hoselries and give
serxice equal to that of experienced workers.
Some day the workers will control daily newspapers
that will recognize the services of the real workers and
will give space to their work and fe rather than To the
activities of the gded society butterflies who neither
toll spin Until that day the public will have to
submit to seeing real crowded out by "gu the
doings of society girls"

LETTER CARRIERS
AND POSTOFFTCE
CLERKS UNDERPAlD

One of the important questions con.
fronting organized labor at the pres
ent time Is the salaries of letter car
riers and postoffies clerks. who are
very much underpaid.
The public should be informed that
a competent worker in the postal
service calls for long and intimate
experience and unerring accuracy,
II is necessary to enroll high grade
men in the service through eompeu-
tive civil service examinations in or
der to maintain il at a proper stand
ard of efficiency.
The postal service is vital to the
very lives of the people. A misde-
livered letter may mean much worry
or suffering between members of u
family or intimate friends or ii may
mean great financial loss.
The present pay scale of letter car
riers and postoifce clerks Is such as
day laborer would scorn and
against which any labor union would
have made a strong and vigorous
protest many years ago, The postal
employees cannot live decently on their
present pay. In order TO keep body
and soul together they have had TO
seek outside work after their daily
employment and in many instances
the wife and mother of children has
been required TO work in order TO
keep the home together. There is no
equity or justice in this treatment OF
men who are giving loyal and faith.

with young men whose work could
not help but bo Of an inferior grade
owing TO lack of practical exper.
ienee.
A practical suggestion has been
made leading 10 the establishment of
schools of Labor within the ranks OF
organized labor.
Labor will do we'll TO enforce Its
standards of competency in admitting
recruits 20 It's ranks. Some crafts are
careless and admit workmen into
their organizations who are not of
proven ability.
Union Labor has legitimate right
to enter a protest when the schools
attempt 10 turn out full nedged
bricklayefs or carpenters In three
months or possibly three weeks course
of training. But unless Labor pro.
vides for such tfaihin within its own
ranks is protests will avail nothing,
and the inefficient training of young
men In get rich quick" schools will
continue.
There are schools that profess to
equip their pupils for certain trades
by few weeks training. BARRIERS

serape their way TO the evaporation

schools propose TO educate within

Perhaps, in another crowd of
young men, the percentages would
vary, but here is what WIS in the
minds of representative bunch.
The amount of pay is not the only
thing that appeals-plasterin looks
a little unpopular, despite being one
of the highest paid trades.
"Now comes the subject Of prefer

tions were asked of men principally
in that sort of job, and yet only 25

And there we were thinking that
our young men were looking down on
any sort Of a job where they could
not be all drest up. The reasons must
be somewhere else. Here are some
Of the drawbacks that l43 had for not
entering some building trade:
"2g said no advancement seemed
probable.
"23 did not like the men they would
associate with.
"2l had no interest in building.
1T were not mechanically inclined.
"16 objected because the work was
too dirty.
al families objected TO their work

ssi2 would rather do office work.
al preferred TO work inside.
"The greatest drawback that these

are not steady enough and that out
