Pride Must G O

IL to be done In such a situation?
"Dear Miss Fairfax" her let

months / have known a young
man introduced to me by very
dear friend. He has been out of
work for the last few weeks and
Is penniless at present. lie is

console him and through sheer
sympathy began to love him.
"He insisted a young man
ought not to marry a girl until
he could give her the luxuries
she craved. l even told him my
parents would be willing to help
us until we. were on our feet.
But 1t was lOf no avail. In a.

to come to see me again until
sent for him. He finally stopped
coming to see me.
''T feel so blue without him.

TO come and see me2 The chances
are l could make him see. things
differently. But ! have too much
pride"
There's such a thing as true
pride, my dear; and there's also
false pride. If you dismissed your
friend in rage OF temper, and
there is no real reason save your
pride why you should not ask
him to forgive your temper and
start afresh with the friendship.
then you are letting a very poor
counterfeit of true pride stand
between you and happiness.
True pride Is glad to tell the
truth by acknowledging wrong.
BY all means, write your friend
4 note asking him to come to see
you. He, on the other hand,
shows true pride in his decision
not to marry until he can sup
port q wife. If / were you, /
would encourage that pride and
try to inspire him to find work
and save money so that he can
marry later on. Meantime. why
should you refuse congeniaI
friendship just because it canrot
mean more than friendship just
now.

A few weeks ago l. helped q
man. whom know slightly, out OF
an embarrassing situation. He
insisted on repaylng me In some
way and asked, me II he couldn't.
send me some little gift. As / am
still going to high school, l told
him that If he wished, he could
send me something practical. A
few days later I received a box OF
silk hose. My girl friends think
that this was not the proper gift
from a man whom / hardly know.
/ think it is as / really need silk
hose and appreciate them much
more than / would flowers or
candy.
Please tell me IL it was proper,
PAULINE.
/ agree. with your friends that
this was not an appropriate gift
for the gentleman to give you. al.
though, you certainly made 1t
rather difficult for him with your
suggestion for a practical gift
Your practical mind outran your
sense of good form. think. dear
girl, and you mustn't let this lack
of perception grow. Flowers or
candy or a book would have been
a better gift, as he probably
thought before your suggestion.

Cooperation Offered
By Canada to U. S.
In Rum Traffic Fight

TORONTO, July 20.-(Pl-The
Toronto Globe, published the fol-
lowing dispatch from Ottawa today:
Canada has indicated to the
United States a method by which
the illegal Importation of Canadian
liouor into the republic may be cur
tailed. Conversations with Wash
ington are proceeding, but no def
mite conclusion has been reached.
It is understood the Canadian
government is prepared to refuse
clearances to liquor laden vessels
bound for the U. S. provided the
navigation laws Of the republic are
amended with respect to vessels un-
der five tons which comprise the
majority of liquor carriers on the
Detroit river.
Nearly 100 per cent of the boats
carrying liquor and the persons en-
gagged in the traffic are from the
u. S. The present u. S. navigation
law registration, enrolment or Ii
censing does not apply to vessels
under five tons, whereas in Canada
every vessel irrespective Of size and
carrying cargo or not is obliged by
law to report when leaving for A
foreign port, and also when return
ing.

Money on Project
(Special to The Herald

McALLEN, July 20.-A proposal
to turn over the McAllen Municipal
hospital, $250,0OO structure, to pri-
vate ownership and operation is be-
ing debated back and forth in the
city, and by the city commission at
the present time, with indications
that the matter will be submitted to
the voters soon.
The name Of the individual, or in
dividuals, who propose taking over
the hospital has not been announced
by the city commission.
That body stated, however, that
the proposed purchaser is q capable
business man, a well known physi-
clan, and that the hospital would be
in good hands.
The proposal to turn over the hos
pital to private individual is being
considered, it is said, because the
institution is being operated at a
loss of from $500 to $500 a month to
the city.
The hospital may be leased, with
a provision that the city receive
enough funds to keep it from losing
money on the project.
