Advice to the
Lovelorn
Friendship and Kisses.
By Beatrice Fairfax.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am in love with young man OF
whom ! have been a friend for the
past year. Since the first time he took
me out | have allowed him to kiss
me. which has continued to this day,
although lately it has been a regular
petting party. Through the influence
of q friend | believed it o. n, but
now my better self speaks up and
will not allow it any more.
What shall l do? / love him dear
". As to whether my love is recipro..
Gated, ] do not know on account OF
these parties. If that obstacle were
not in the day | should say he does
love me. / do know, though, that he
has had petting parties with other
girls. but their friendship did not last
| long. One of his friends confidcd in
me that he respects me very highly;
| am worrying myself sick over this
affair. as I intend speaking to HIN
about it. This may mean my losing
him. But if it continues ! might lose
him, anyway. kEGhElh VI.
Explain to your friend as Simply
and swcetly as you have explained to
me that you feel petting and kissing
are not right between two persons who
are not engaged. and so you feel Il
would be wrong foG you to go on with
the petting and kissing. Tell him you
hone he will be just as much inter
csted in you as he was before.
II he is a real friend he will moi
sacrifice your companionship because
Won have the courage to do what you
think is right. If he cares for you h
will admire and love you much more
for your high ideals. If he should give
nm going about with you because he
can't pct YOU. at least you will know
that YOU were buying his companion
shin with your kisses. And that sori
of friendship is not very dependable
or desirable at best, is it?

The Rhyming
Optimist
Behind the Mask.
By Aline Michaelis

How can the world know you are
gay when, as you go your wontcd way.
you've nothing good or glad to say
It may be you are only shy: the world,
though, is not keen Of eye; it judges
and it passes by. How can the world
know you are kind, gentle and true
and meek Of mind, when this grim
mask you hide behind? Perhaps you've
never learned the way Of childlike souls
that laugh and play and lend their
sunshine to the day. But il you'd try
a little while, the magic of a merry
smile. how all your cares it would be-
guilet And it is easy, once begun, to
learn Joys lessons, one by one, and
scatter brightness like the sun.

Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
A Poor Little Insect That
Has ONLY Eight Eyes.

"The flies wake me up in the morn
ing, Foxy Grandpa said Bobby as
he came out of his room in the bunga-
low which we had taken for the month
of August down by the seashore.
WELL" said /, "in that case we'll
have to get some flypaper, the next
time we go into the village"
"But that won't be for several
days. murmumed Bobby. Bunny
cooked his head on one side and looked
very thoughtful. Then he said:
Il believe l can do something to
relieve this very uncomfortable situa-
ton"
Out of the scrcen-door Bunny shot
as if a big fox was after him and he
didn't come home until lunch time.
We didn't say anything but sat
down and talked about everything else
but flies, because as you know, when
Bunny is on a ease" as he calls 1t,
he doesn't like anybody to ask him
questions or make suggestions.
The next morning when Bobby came
out of his room, | asked:
Bobby did the flies bother this
morning" ......,
"Not so much as usual-but there
are still few. I'll get them with the
fly-smacker after breakfast"
Don't think that will be neces'
sary," said Bunny, looking very seri-
Gus.
whats he doing, 1 wonder?" said
Bobby's eyes to me.
Later that morning when Mary, the
maid, was going into Bobby's room
with her broom and mop and buster,
saw Bunny jump to his feet and
whisper something very confidentially
Into Mary's ear and she smiled and
shook her head and then went up
stairs.
The next morning Bobby came in to
breakfast and before l had time to ask
him how he had slept he announced
that he had not even heard one buzz.
Fine" said /, but we had better
get the fly paper just the same when
we go to town"
Hardly think it will be necessary
murmured Bunny, finishing a crisr
piece of lettuce.
We left the dining room and as
Mary came in to clear off the table,
Bobby said:
DO you know, Foxy Grandpa
that / don't believe that Mary feels
very well. She cleaned my room yes
terday and do you know what she
left in it? A great big spider's nest
right up in the corner of the ROOM
THAT doesn't seem like Mary, does
lit? She is usually so thorough"
wouldn't say anything to hel
about it," said Bunny, slyly.
"Why, Bunny" ] asked. Mary
would be glad to know it. She takes
great pride on her work"
IF you do" said Bunny, Bobby
won't sleep so well in the mornings
until you get the flypaper."
What do you mean, Bunny?
asked.
That that spider which I took in
there the other day has contracted &c
catch all the flies which are in Bobby
room for this whole month"
We'll go right up to see him."
said with pleasure.
Up into Bobby's room we went &c
see the fly-catcher and there she was
already with two flies in her net.
Pretty smart little lady" l said
But remember she has eight eyes"
That's not many" said Bunny
THE flies which she catches have foul
thousand eyes! -
you'd think they would be able tc
escape her with that many" | laughed
at all depends how one uses ones
eyes" sand Bunny blinking his owl
two pink ones at me.

NEWSPAPER OWN
Frs OPERATE
FOR PROFIT

New York, Feb. 2.-The Wall
Street Journal contributes 10 me
cause Of realism By combating Inc
popular delusion that a newspaper Is
not a priyate-con.rolled institution
operated for profit.
A local newspaper, IN an editorial
article, declared that the American
newspaper has Away been an insti-
tuition affected with a public inter
est"
To this, the Wal Street Journal
bluntly replies: a newspaper Is
private enterprise, owing nothing
whatever TO the public, which grants
it no franchise. 1t is, therefore, 'af-
fected' with no public interest. u Is
emphatically the property Of It's
owner, who is selling a manufactured
product at his own risk. If the pub
lie does not like his opinions or his
method of presenting news, the rem
edy is in its own hands. Il is under
no obligation to buy the paper.
TO say that a public interest Is
created because newspapers are car
ried in the mails at special rates,
fixed by the post Office itself, is sheer
nonsense. Ii that were true, every
thing else carried in the mails would
be affected with public interest
For ridiculously obvious reasons
there are many news paper owners
willing enough to encourage the pub
lie in the delusion that it Is the edi
tor of a newspaper who dictates the
selection of news and the expression
of opinion. He only does so subject
to the correction and suggestion Of
the proprietor of the paper who,
most properly, considers his newspa-
per as a plain business proposition.
1t is just that, no more and certainly
no less, and the public is all the bet
ter served when there Is no pretense
of being anything else"

ALCOHOLIC SHIFTS

(By w. G. Sibley, Chicago Journal OF Commerce.
1t is often claimed that prohibition is fraud and
failure because liquor continues be used by people
whose enable them to pay from four to eight times
for synthetic and poisonous liquors than standard
brands formerly cost retail. But these critics both
OF the law and its lax enforcement do take into fair
consideration the important SHIFT of the alcoholic burden
from the shoulders of the producers of the country and
the freedom labor has from the ills of habtual drink
ing Prohibition has been enforced least sufficiently

OF laborers and workers in the trades factories
and business generally This result is abundanty dem
onstrated everywhere. Men jobs turn up for work
Monday mornings i'll good condition In the old saloon
days certain and large per always delinquent
for day two after Sunday.
Prohibition however evaded by the rich is entitled to
credit for improving the condition and outlook for the
dustria part of the popuation-that portion OF society
wealth. And the time, we believe, there has
really been increase and perhaps instead substantial
decrease in the number OF prodgals who disgrace them
selves and gevc their families by surrenderng their lives
dissipation and wasting the wealth they unfortu
natey incapable of using the benefit OF their fellows
We all strong for the rights of the poor both polt
ica and personal But the moral fact is that the
who afford to drink whose indulgence robs his
family of necessities, has right drink. This does
not that rich has right violate the law
satisfy his appetite for illegal beverages. He may
escape the penalty of the law in his person, but
many such rich sufc infinitely greater penalty in
the conduct OF their din instances alas in
the moral delnGucncies lhcr daughters. The hazards
OF contempt for law ramify far into the future
