Dear Miss Dix--I am girl of 19. and l don't like boys. 1 mean they don't interest me. go out with boy few times and then 1 get so tired of him I cant stand him any longer. am so bored. Il have had lot of pro- posals. but l cannot endure the idea of marriage. Is there something wrong with me: TROUBLED. Perhaps you are eelibate by nature and were predestinedf to become bachelor girl. Many men are born old bachelors. you know. and no woman ! ever appeals to them. And there are also women who are old maids in the cradle and in whose breast no man ever inspires flutter.
 It used to be that every woman con sidered it reflection upon herself if she were not accompanied everywhere by man. and it was little short of a disgrace for her not to marry. Now there are hordes of wealthy or self supporting women who set up their ! own establishments and live their own lives without any male incumbrances, and who frankly proclaim that they prefer' womens society to mems and do not wish to marry.
 But at 19 I wouldn't be too certain that l was a manhater. The reason you are not interested in men is most likely because the right man hasn't come along. DOROTHY DIX. | Dear Miss Dix-I have been engaged to young man for the last two years, and we are always quarreling. I do everything he wants me to do, but still he is never satisfied. He says I must not talk to any of my friends because he calls that gossiping. If differ with what he says, he says 1 am piking. He won't let me dress the way I want to, or use any cosmetics. If I happen to meet any of my friends when I am out with him. he gets angry and won't speak. He takes other girls to dances and says he does it because I make him mad. but I stay at home all the time. and never go anywhere without his knowing it. What shall l do?
 PHYLLIS.
 If you have got any sense at all, Phyllis. you will break off with him while the breaking is good. He is nothing but a mean, grinding domestic tyrant, and if you marry him your life will be one of abject slavery. Don't do it. DOROTHY DIX.

WORK AHEAD

There Is prospect for the Conser-
vatives in England to have tenure
OF power for several years, probably
for the life Of the parliament. British
administrations do not have to go to
the people at stated intervals as Is
the case in our country. yet mont
tor advises the Conservatives not to
use their power tyrannically.
That is good advice anywhere. The
power that is augmented by tyrani-
cal methods Is so marked for early
decay. Wise rulers nowadays are
we'll aware Of that fact. The party
or the individual in power is looked
to and there are plenty Of facilities
for looking. Those who contribute
most to radicalism are @those who
provide it with something to feed
upon.
It would be very short-sighted to
assume that all those who supported
LaFollette did so for the purpose OF
overturning our present form Of
government. We may conclude they
have not thought through to a logical
that they have gone into
this with immature judgment or IN
ignorance: that they have been I'm
fuenced to quite an extent by their

own failure to succeed, but that they
had in many instances either a real
or fancied grievance it is but rea-
sonable to suppose.
All this should not be disregarded
by those in power. No effort should
be spared to ascertain the truth
about conditions, to devise remedies
where remedies are possible. There
always will be LaFolletteers; it's the
nature of the animal, and the Loop
ards spots will sooner be changed.
Even the millennium probably would
be unsatisfactory to some people; it
But there was discomfort among
many tillers of the soil and not with
out reason. The farmer is not by
nature or by environment a revolu-
tionary. Shortage Of crops abroad
has brought relief, but it is tenn
porary. In late years the farmer has
had to encounter difficulties such that
he has sought other employment in
many instances and yet enough re-
main on the job to glut the market
at times. There are real problems to
be worked out. Those who are radi-
Gals beca3se of transformation
should be informed. The well-mean-
ing radical needs help and a clearer
understanding; the others don't want
it, however muci: they may need it.

DEMOCRATS TALKING IT OVER

Holding post norton seems to be
a diversion OF Democratic groups.
And those responsible for the party's
affairs feel called upon to determine
just what was the matter. There is
quite general agreement that the
radios reporting of the New York
convention was a revelation not con-
ducive TO public --'- "'ence.
A considerable portion-it seems to
have grown appreciably since the
New York convention-are said to
hold the opinion that The candidacy

party four years from now.
The New York World deduces a
moral from the situation and has

struggle for internal control. But
IL energies also as the only OPP
position party. For the Demo-
cratic party one lesson is per-
fectly clear. 1t is a lesson dinned
into its ears again and again and
again from 1896 to 1924 A Demo-
cratic party based on the south
and west against the east is
doomed to impotence anSdefeat.
The two great sources of Demo-
cratic strength are IN the indus
