benefits which are themselves

But more effective and uni

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A few OF us girls have had
quite. a discussion on certain
subject, SO we decided to write to
you for help.
Does q girl cheaper herself by
going to public dance balls?
Some say she does, while others
say she doesn't. Also, should
girl dance with young men she
doesn't know?
The girls have tried to per.
suade me to go with them to
dance halls, but T decided to wat
for your answer.
I will appreciate any informa-
ton you win give me, and thank
you in advance. RUTH.
Yes, my dear, it is cheapen:ng
and unwise for a girl to go to
public dance halls and dance
with young men To- whom she
has not been introduced.
There may be some public
dance halls where a girl migat
go with an escort and dance with
a few acquaintance. But to go
unescorted to q dance hall and
pick up partners is indiscreet,
cheapening and may prove &C.
tually dangerous.

MANY TOURISTS
MAR00NED HERE
DURING STORM

Between 5000 and 5000 automobiles
owned mainly by tourists cnroutc
from the east to Pacific Coast
points, were marooncd in the Impc-
rial Valley because of flood cOndi-
tionS and the closed highways, is
the assertion Of Frank Oswalt, cap
tain of the state highway police Of
| this district. Since the highways
have been thrown open to travel, he
, and his men have been almost con,
stantly on duty handling the traffic
at the most dangerous and congcst-
ed points.
He states that by reason Of the
fact that the sandy pull of about
two miles between Shepard IS bridge
and the railroad bridge on the San
Diego highway is too severe for a
loaded truck to make unless assisted
by helper, that this section has
been closed to this class of vehicle.
He states that when he was on duty
there yesterday that Il close check
showed that about 1900 ears, mainly
tourists bound for points on the Pa
cific coast passed over that part Of
the San Diego highway.
1t is estimated that between Sun
day and Monday approximately 5000
ears passed over the San Diego high
way heading from the valley and
that about $500 went out over the
Riverside and Mecca roads.
Work Long Hours
That some of the tourists, particu-
larlv those of the "tin cam variety
were in the most Strengthened cir
cumstanceS, was made evident by
their willingness to take all manner
of chances in order to get along, de-
clarcd Cswalt. II was necessary
in many instances, for he and his
men to use their guns in order to
enforce orders and this also obtains
state highways for this district.
Davis and his men worked contin-
uouslv for 80 hours without rest in
order to get the highways open.
Probably the most dangerous
point to negotiate of all the detours
is the CarrisO creek crossing, where
the bridge was washed away by the
high water Planks from the destroy
ed bridge were used to corduroy the
wash to point where the water
flowed through the middle of the
bed for Il width of about 500 feet.
Much of the bottom of this wash is
quick sand, and if ear was stalled
for more than a few seconds, it would
begin sinking. The highway Off
GERS and men of the road crews as
well as other were on hand to push
such ears to safety.
Practically all of the surface wa
ter will have run off by today when
the road at this point will be cor
duroycd throughout while perma
nent bridge repairs are underway,
it is stated.
