Answer:
 Ridicule is one of the best reme- dies for calf love. Boys of that age cannot stand to be made fun of. So if you laugh at the lad you can do more to cure his sentimen- talism than anything else.
 But the one effectual remedy is to provide a counter-attraction. h. vite the prettiest and most attrac- tive young flapper you know to come and make you months visit. And before the time is up the chances are that the boy will have transferred his affection. Nearly
 every boys first love is a woman

Answer:
 Why, Edith. your friend is a neu- rotic, unnatural woman, and the doctrines she breaches is monstrous. All human experience gives it the lie, so don't listen to her any more.
 Instead of children being a curse, they are the greatest blessing that heaven can bestow upon a man and woman. They are the crown of marriage. They are the one thing that saves many an uncongenial marriage and makes 1t worth while.

of his wife with his child in her arms. Nothing appeals so strong 1y to every fiber of manhood in him as his children gathered about their mother. And there are thousands upon thousands of men who are held by baby hands to their duty in homes that are mismanaged and made miserable by nagging wives.
 Children are the tie that binds. Don't forget that And aslo re- member that no other woman does work comparable with the one who raises up big family of fine sons and daughters.
 DOROTHY DIX
 Dear Dorothy Dix: I am 25. ant have very devoted husband of 38 ane two small children. My husbands nephew, lovable boy of IS, stays witt us while he is working with my hus band. He and I have a great deal ir common, and have read, planned anG played with him. But now I find tc my consternation, that he has become infatuated with me.
 I feel that I must be honest with my husband and tell him about it, but il l do he will send the boy away, which will ruin his future, as far as his pres ent occupation goes. I am very fon6 of this boy in motherly way and heart broken over the situation. What must I do? ANXIOUS.

As for your husband caring less for you because you have children, exactly the opposite is true-unless the man is an utter rotter who cares for woman only for her good looks, and such a man soon ceases to love his wife, any way.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-02

Answer:
 Turn about is fair play, J. D. The girl proposed to you once. Why don't you take your turn at the courting and propose to her? Per haps she feels that she has run after you enough, and thinks that it is time that you took your part in the love chase.
 Your case is an inspiring one, as it shows that men will say Yes" when a woman pops the question.

It is a pity for a foolish boys love sickness-which amounts to nothing really-to blight his prospects. But if he will not listen to reason, and if you cannot make him see what a dishon- orable thing he is doing to repay his uncle's generosity with treachery, then, of course, there is nothing to do but to tell your husband. Otherwise you become party to the disloyalty. E

older than himself, but the attack is generally a brief one and yields to the treatment administered by girl of his own age.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-02

Of course, children are an expense. Of course, they are bother. Of course, they demand work and care and self sacrifice from their parents. But we have to pay for every joy and happiness we get in fife. and surely nothing else returns such dividends as children do.
 To realize the truth of this you have only to consider your own baby. Has anything else ever brought you such joy as she has? Is there any other one thing as absorbingly and fasciatingly Interesting to you as watching her growth and development? Would you trade her off for all the money in the world? You know you wouldn't. And her father feels about her exactly as you feel.
 And the best part of 1t is that
 the happiness that you will find in
 your children is the one thing in your life that will never grow stale.
 You will live your own life over in
 them, sharing in their joys and
 their hopes and ambitions, and
 when at last you grow old you will
 have somebody to look after you
 and comfort you, and love you to
 the end.

 Dear Miss Dix: About two years ago I began going with a girl. I didn't care a lot for her at first, but soon fell in love with her. Within two months of the time first met her she pro- posed to me and accepted her because l loved her. Unfortunately, we had a quarrel and broke the engagement. Since then I have been lonely and blue, and have never been able to care for any other girl, How can I win her back? J. D.

Would Test Autoists' Vision,

Owing to the increasing number Of
autos in use every year, the safety
bodies of several states have had to
consider more rigorous examinations
for those applying for licenses 1t is
now proposed to test applicants for
vision as well as knowledge Of driv-
Ing. 1t is said many accidents are
due to near and far sightedness and
that with traffic getting more con-
gested it will be necessary to rule out
those. whose vision is defective
enough to cause them to misjudge
distances grossly or fall to distin-
guish objects clearly.

BILL PROPOSES STUDY
OF AMERICAN. MUSIC
Measure in House Asks Inquiry
Into Plan for National
u Conservatory Here.
PROMPT ACTION PROVIDED
Commission Would Be Named to
Report in Two Years.

The campaign that has been con-
Quoted for a number of years to OBJ
tain official recognition and aid to
the development of American music
has at last borne fruit to the extent
of the Introduction of a bill in the
House by Representative Robert L.
Bacon, New York. providing for the
appointment of a commission to study
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a Ma
tional Conservatory of Music in
washington.
The bill, sponsored by music or
eanizations in all pants of the coun-
Try. would establish a commission of
1ive, to be named by the President, to
serve without compensation. to study
Ihe proposal In great detail and to
report it's, findings and recommended
lions within a period of two years
y fund Of $4,000 is provided to cover
expenses of the investigation.
Movement Is Growing.
The campaign for federal backing
OF the music interests of the country
has gained much impetus Of late, 1t
is pointed out by those familiar with
the movement. and the belier is
growing that American composers
and artists are not given a fair on
country in general have been too
pro8e to believe that unless foreign
tlnge Is given the music is not OF
first grade.
The growing list of singers of
American birth with foreign names
ana the preponderance of songs, for
instance, in foreign tongues has
heightened the demand for something
American.
The hackers of this bill believe that
a in, 10 Htr
either with federal aid, or with the
prestige of federal approval, a new
interest can be created In american
music by American Artists" Refer
music centers in European and other
nations.
Comprehensive Curriculum.
It has been proposed that the con.
servatory should include in its cur
riculum, training in singing, in opera
work, in the playing OF various in
struments, in composition, in di-
recting, in fact, in every activity Of
music. 1t would be source Of
broadcasting information on Amer
lean music. 1t would be in a posi-.
ton to lend aid to other schools, to
furnish advice to state departments
OF music and to supply a source OF
musicians for orchestras, opera, con-
certs and other activities.
1t is believed that there is as typi-
cal school of American music as
there is a German school, an Italian
school and Russian school, for ex-
ample. 1t is argued that there are
innumerable traditional American
melodies that could form the basis of
classic composition, just as the old
German folk songs have been woven
into the works of Wagner. Shubert
and others.
The present bill before the House
committee may not be reported out,
1t is conceded, but the fight will be
kept up by the various music or
CARNATIONS of the country, and fed
eral aid is believed assured In the
very near future
