The question is put squarely UP
to me in the following letter:
Dear Mrs. Lee: | am a girl
"a years old and have been 60
ing with two young men for
some time, but can't decide be-
tween them. While one is more
able to provide a better home
and living, the other seems to
think the most of me, but could
not give me the things I'm used
to. | want to know if you believe
in love in cottage or no love
in mansion. So please give
some good advice to
IN DOUBT"
That depends entirely on what
kind of girl you, are, my dear
Personally / believe in "love in a
cottage" 1t looks wee bit as If
YOU loved neither well enough to
make the journey of life with him,
but if you insist on getting mar
ried to one or the other, ask your
self the following questions: Are
you one of those, persons whose life
will be ruined if you have to walk
or take a street car instead OF
your own machine? Can you make
az home out of one room, II
necessary, and glory in it when
your friends live in mansions? On
your truthful answers depends
your choice, it seems to me.
The little girl who writes the
following has another problem:
Dear Mrs. Lee: The base OF
my troubles is / want home.
Here is the way stand: We
live one mile from a neighbor,
two miles from a store and six
miles from town. Can you
imagine a girl of II living in
such place?
'Please, Mrs. Lee, don't think
am a discontented sort, be-
cause I am not. I would love to
60 to work somewhere where |
could meet and mingle with
other people. l can't do this be-
cause communication is impos-
sible.

nice way to move into town so
/ could get work. He refused. He
says he hasn't the money to.

OCEAN cITYs SUNDAY.
Various Efforts to Avoid Its oper-
alton Have Failed.

="
Ocean City's business men who
have been threatening to sell on
Sunday in violation Of the ordin-
ance have abandoned the plan to
test the law and the stores will not
sell anything that is forbidden by
the police.
This resort for number of years
had each summer some concerted
movement to evade the Sunday law.
but in every instance the law was
enforced. Every scheme has been
resorted to. Three years ago a
merchant gave away candy when
he was forbidden to sell. The NOV
ing picture men placed boxes in
front of their places for the volun-
tary contributions of money but
found their places crowded with
children who paid nothing.
One pier owner announced that
he would stand for an arrest every
Sunday and pay his fine. He cal
culated that the receipts would be
so large that the fine would not
inconvenience him.
Harry Headley was Mayor at that
time. He was known to be liberal
in his views personally but the pier
owner soon learned that the Mayor
was strongly opposed to violating
the Sunday law.
The proprietor who had expected
only to pay fine was surprised to
see Mayor Headiey and a squad OF
policemen walk into his place and
after dismissing the audience lock
the gates and place a policeman on
duty to see that they were not
again opened.

WAR HAS NOT MADE
DEMOCRACY SAFE
Speaker Says It Has Bred Crop
Of DiCtatOrS

Williamstown, Mass, July 80 Up
Instead of making the world safe for
democracy the World War fortified
the political field for crop of die
tators, Professor Henry K. Spencer
of Ohio State University told fellow
conferees at the first general confer
| cnce of the institute of politics yes
| terday.
Citing Poland, Italy. Spain and
Russia as examples of nations in
which parliamentary government is
on the decline, Professor Spencer
qualified his assertion that the war
prepared the way for dictators by
saying that neither the war nor re-
construction primarily produced die
tatorships. although both episodes
exposed and aggravated anti-demo-
cratic elements
This. he said was demonstrated
by the alignment of neutral and van
pushed and victorious wartime
powers with dictatorial tendencies.
However," Professor Spencer
said. 1T is to relationships credit
that in some cases its energetic unity

business recovery. Here is the eX-
PLANTATION of the alteration MusSollnl
has received from the American bus
mess man to whom business is

Professor Spencer sketched his
view of the Italian fiasco through
which Mussolni. with a disciplined
body of lawless followers proved
himself pusillanimous premier who
achieved dictatorship through a
coup detat legal in form but revo-
lutionary in spirit"
The voice of Italian citizenship
has been muffled in the press, by
the ballot and by public speech, lie
said. Yet" he continued, the
Italians accept the situation, there
is a growing and significant group
of eXiles who protest, but the nom
political 80. per cent accept dicta-
torship gladly. They are getting the
result of energetic government free
from the difficult responsibilities Of
government.
Russia, Professor Spencer said. Is

The train ride down; the wild

have all contributed to the improve
ment in conditions among the chill
dren of New Britain, according to
well wishers who, through expert
ence, are qualified to comment. One
well known official was heard to
say recently that he was glad the
boys and girls of his childhood had
done without the recreational privi-
leges of those Of today. if for no
other reason than that the men who
are able and willing to assist in pro-
viding for this generation along
these lines are fully conscious and
appreciative of the great JOY they
bring to the children because they
themselves went without it.

AVATR|X CARRIES
HER VANITY BAG
But Prefers Her Engine to
Shopping

New Ork, July 50. W-If Frau
lein Thea Rashe. the p year old
German "air queen" takes off for
the long hop across the Atlantic
ocean it is more than likely that a
vanity case will go with her.
Aviation needn't keep a woman
from powdering her nose" she says.
When she is not wearing the grease
proof fleece lined jeans which she
prefers for flying she likes to doll
up" as we'll as any woman. When
she and her little red plane are
separated nobody would know to
look at her that she prefers air
planes to beauty parlors and would
rather linked with an engine than
shop.
She powders her nose as often
and dresses her light curly bob as
carefully as lots of her feminine
sister; who never set foot inside
an airplane.
The worst of flying from beau
ty standpoint" she says. "is that
the wind burns and chaps my skin.
l simply can't cover up all the tan,
and I've quit trying"
Thea's skin is we'll bronzed, and
there are little marks across her
nose where her goggles press. She
has very white teeth, which are al
ways showing in CHEEKY grin.
There was no shopping for the lair
queen" while she was in Paris. She
spent all her time finishing up the
arrangements for her American fly
ing and talking with famous avia-
tors assembled In Paris in honor
of Commander Byrd and his crew
on the America.
