BY Beatrice Fairfax.

Jcar Miss Fairfax:
While on my vacation this year, I
met a young man three years nv
cnior. with whom I Immediately fell
IN love. As our friendship progressed,
| found he was IN love with me, also.
In the presence of others, he is very
bashful. When l meet him in the eve
ming with his boy friends, he bushes
and cannot gather enough courage to
carry on simple conversation with
mo. But when we arc alone, he speaks
naturally and with apparent ease.
/ would like to know whether there
is anything | can do to make him feel
more at case when we are with his
friends? TALKATIVE.
Some persons are naturally shy.
But as time goes on and they become
more accustomed to meeting others.
his bashfulncss usually wears off.
Meantime if / were you I would con-
sidcr myself very fortunate in having
won for n friend. young man in
cined to be shy rather than ovsr-con-
iident and too sure Of himself as So
many young men arc nowadays.

In a Quandary.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| had been going with = Young man
for year. Constantly during the year,
through his fault. We had arguments
and ! wouldn't sec him for a week or
two. Finally ] accepted his attention
again. l gave up everything for him.
We were getting along nicely for a
month and intended to be married.
Now. again, through his fault, we
have broken off.
/ have since met very nice young
man and am trying hard to forget.
hut I cannot. BY accident l met the
first young man. He is in trouble. He
asked me again whether ] would
marry him but | refused, rs I do
not believe he is serious.
What would you advise me to do!
I like the young man | AM going with
now. and in time could love him if |
did not see the other. DOTS.
\ person with whom you constantly
quarrel is not likely to prove suit
able husband. is he? If you quarrel
now. you would he still more likely to
quarrel after marriage. and nothing is
more wretched than discordant
home.
So give yourself every chance 70
like the young man who now interests
YOU. DO not become engaged to him,
however. until you are sure you love
him. And do not give up going about
with other young men friends until
You become engaged.

Russian Sea Captain
Discovers Ancient City
Beneath Caspian Sea

MOSCOW, Nov. 24-An oriental
city which flourished thousands Of
years ago but was lost to history, has
been discovered beneath the waters
of the Caspian Sea by Captain Atayev,
head of the Soviet Caspian merchant
marine and has been confirmed by a
group of Russian scientists.
The captain had his attention called
to the submarine city when, having
deviated from his usual course, on a
voyage from Persia to Baku, his leads
men found that the depth changed
rapidly, alternating at irregular inter
walls as tho there were holes in the
bottom of the sea. Returning over
the same route on calm sunny day,
the captain was able to see on the
bottom of the sea the clear outline of
streets and houses, stretching for
miles along the coast, near Cape Sink
hova.

Japanese Finance
Mission Fails to
Get English Loan

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Japanese
delegation which was sent here by the
Nippon government to negotiate a
loan for the finance department, was
unable to get loan here except at
rates of interest and at such terms
that the delegation could not accept
them without raising a great protest
in Japan.
The finance department has recent
ly made large appropriations for ma
val construction purposes and for
military use against the opposition of
the agrarian bloc which demanded
money for rice growing, that it feels
that loan at a high rate of inter-
est will seriously embarrass it in
Japan if it attempts to float such in

BRAZIL BOSSES
IMPORT CHEAP
JAP LABORERS
Japanese Government
Supplies Brazil Scabs
Especial to The Daily Worker

SAC PAULO, Brazil, Nov. 24.--Un-
til recently Brazil has been able to
get all the immigrants she wanted
from foreign ountries-especiall
European-by the old methods of
false representation, lies and decep-
ton. AS nowadays much more pub
licity is given to the actual state of
agairs in Brazil, it is no longer so easy
to get immigrants in this way. Urged
on by the employers, the Brazilian
government is now trying new means
to draw foreign workers into the coun-
try. The authorities of Sac Paulo par
ticularly are doing all they can to pro-
mote state subsidized immigration.
They have for instance concluded an
agreement with the Japanese govern
ment for the supply of certain num-
Der of workers per year. The first of
these contingents, destined for the
coffee plantations, arrived at the end
of September. The Japanese govern
ment officer in charge stated that 1.-THE
men have been carefully selected, and
IRE free from all faint of socialism"
Ten more contingents are expected
during the remaining months of 1925.
But before very long-as experience
has shown-the inhuman working con-
litions on the plantations will I'M
doubtedly result in these Japanese i'm
migrants turning to try their luck in
the industrial centers. And there, by
accepting lower wages, they will force
down the standard of living of the
resident workers.
Workers-especially Japanese work
ers-who are thinking of emigrating
to Brazil, are hereby earnestly warned
not to.
What the papers say cannot be re-
lied upon, as is clear from the fact
that many of the Brazilian papers
especially those published for immi-
grants, are in the service of the gov
eminent. In o Combate tissue of
Sept. 49,, e. g., we find a statement to
the effect that the national finance de-
partment decided at its last meet
ing to grant $50 milreis to the Ger
man paper of Sac Paulo, and 500 mil
refs to the Hungarian newspaper as
payment for the information" pub
lished by them in July. It is a we'll
known fact that these papers suppress
all reports showing up cases of swim
ding and frauds in land purchases,
immigration, ETC., for fear of the for
ieiture of these government grants.
Workers are therefore warned against
he Brazilian papers.

TRADE
BOARD PROBES
ELECTRIC TRUST
Commission on Another
Whitewash Expedition


WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The fed
eral trade commission has now de-
clared an investigation" of the Gen
eral Electric company and its hold
ings. The investigation is being car
ried out much against the will of the
administration and will undoubtedly
result in no action being taken
against the public utilities trust which
has been formed in this country.
Morgan Controlled.
The General Electric company is
controlled by ]. P. Morgan and con
trolls las power companies in the
United States, Canada and Latin-Am-
erica.
This company owns large water
power rights in all parts of the United
States and has at the present time
over fifty applications for power sites
filed by its subsidiaries before the fed
eral power commission in it's attempt
to gain the addition of 100000 horse
power of electricity from water sites
now owned by the government and
not as yet under private exploitation.
Tried to Grab Muscle Shoals.
This company which has gained
control of the formerly British-owned
Alabama Power company also at
tempted to gain control of the Muscle
Shoals project, which could be de
veloped so that it would supply suffi-
cient power for a large section of the
southern states.
The Underwood bill which the pow
er trust attempted to jam thru would
have turned the Muscle Shoal project
over the Alabama Power and thus in
to the hands of the Morgan interests.
Strange Industrial Combines.
The group that has forced the pres
ent investigation" of the electric
power trust claims that this coneen-
tration if allowed to develop will
strangle the industrial corporations Of
the country thru its control of electric
power and charge that the trust al
ready has control of the lighting of
homes, stores, factories, etc.

the majority against the continuance
Of military training would have been
much bigger, in spite of the fact that
as it now stands, the vote is deci-

The agitation against the military

the armistice day issue Of The Cam

which was followed by mass meet

More of the amazing instructions
