and few resources, or else he would
have hunted up somebody who
would have introduced him to the
girl. If were girl, a man would

When sweeping carpets much of
the dust may be removed by going
over the surface with damp cloth.
This also saves wear and tear. Put
a teaspoonful of ammonia into a half
pailful of warm water to freshen the
colors. Always remember to sweep
the way of the grain. To brush the
wrong way is not only bad for the
carpet, but it tends to brush the dust
in instead of out.

But it is well for all men and women
who belong to different religious de-
nominations to thrash this question out
well and settle it definitely before mar
riage. Unless one or the other of them
is broad enough and has enough re-
ligion to concede to the other perfect re-
ligious freedom, they had best not
marry. There are enough things to
fight over in married life without in
jecting a holy war into it.

Boys like girls who have got
just fair amount of brains. You
never see any of them flocking
around them a high brow nor a
dump-bell. They want q girl who
can keep up her end of the talk,
and that they won't have to work
like coal beavers to entertain,
but they don't want any girl who is
a monologue artist or who, wants
to talk to them about the Einstein
theory.

If she hears that one of the girls has
a pretty new dress, Blanche Immediately
goes to see it and then gently picks
flaws in it. She can't stand any of her
friends having an especially attractive
dress. She has always said she gets
her clothes at the most expensive shops,
but the truth is that she either copies
imported models from fashion magazines
and makes them herself or spends hours
shopping around for them.
Whatever she has, whatever she does
or whatever she sees, according. to her
viewpoint, is vastly superior to what
any one else has, does or sees.
She is a type.

Blanche is delighted at an oppor-

returns with glowing tales of the
conquests she has made and of all the
lovely parties that were given for her.
She revels in telling of the plays she
has seen and the wonderful automobile
trips she has taken. There never was
any other girl who was, so popular and
had such a good time as she did and
she never lets her listeners lose sight
of that fact.

"Boys like jolly girls. Girls who
are full of fun, girls who can do any
thing, who can swim, and play a good
game of tennis or golf, and drive a car,
and play jazz, and dance and who are
good sports. They don't like the girls
who are sickly and delicate and fraid
cats, who are always screening over
everything, and who can't go out in
the sun, foFifear of running their com
plexions.
Boys like girls who are inter-
ested in the same things they are,
but they don't like these yes-yesscrs
who haven't any opinions of their
own and who agree with everything
they say. They like girls who show
that they like them and enjoy their
Intentions, but they loathe and
hate the girl who chases them
down, and who is always ringing
them up over the telephone and
trying to make dates. /

Dear Miss Dix-What advice, or con-
ISOLATION, have you to offer in a case
like this: A girl-the one girl in the
world for me-and myself have been
real, honest-to-goodness pals for more
than six years. We are engaged and
would like to be married, but we are of
different religious denominations. 1t
does not seem fair that n difference of
this kind should keep us apart. Please
suggest something. READER.
Answer: My suggestion is that you
quit confusing creeds with religion.
Creeds are man-made, and mostly made
by men who were pretty narrow and
bigoted and self-Opinionated. Religion
is God~nade. Religion is the wirship of
God. 1t is the beief in the Supreme
Ruler of the universe, the inspiration
that makes us try to live clean lives,
to be kindly and charitable in deed and
thought and to struggle up to a higher
light. ...4.
Religion is as broad as the love and
mercy Of God. Surely there is room
enough in it for everybody's personal
peculiarities of belief and to--give to
every one the right to worship God
according to the dictates of his own con-
science. And as for creeds, since they
are all different roads that lead up to
God, what does it matter which one
you follow?
i
To nv mind, nothing is so ir-

repeat the process.
1t is often. more difficult to keep
the fruit cellar cool enough at this
season than it is to keep it warm
enough by and by. The best results
are obtained by leaving the windows
open at night and closing them in
the day time. A cellar where fruit,
is stored is likely to become too dry
If it has a Gem t floor it can be wet
down occasionally, but otherwise it
will be advisable to keep a pail of
water standing in the cellar. Apples
keep best when stored in boxes or
small barrels, and If you have some
extra fine specimens you can be sure
to have them very late in the winter
by wrapping each one in paper, using

new RADIO PATENTS
AVAILABLE FOR USE
Germans Inventions Can Be Man
ufactured by U. S. Firms,
Stone Holds.

A number Of important German
radio patents held by the Navy
Department since the war will be
available for American manufacturers
as the result of an opinion by Attorney
General Stone. Applications for licenses
now on file will soon be signed and man
ufacture here begun.
Among the most valuable OF the
radio patents is the famous reflex
circuit invented by Wilhelm Schloe-
milch and Otto Won Bruk, understood
to have been in the superheterodyne
receiving set. All licenses will be
issued as mon exclusive, non-trans-
ferable and revocable." These ar
rangements will continue in effect
until January 1, or extend through
out the life of the patent.
Responding to a request from Sec
:etary of the Navy Wilbur for an
opinion on the question, Mr. Stone
held that there appeared TO be no
inhibition against the issue of licenses
| to manufacture under the patents
such licenses not to be exclusive, but
that the patents could not be sold.
While the text of the Attorney
Generals opinion was not made
public, it was believed the ruling
would constitute a precedent that
would open the way for use by Amer
lean industry of several hundred
patents held under seizure by various
Government agencies since the war

otherwise has heretofore been denied
