A Girl Who FIirts

BY Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Some time ago a letter appeared
In this column, signed Blue,
stating the problem of a girl
who had trifled with young
mans affection, flirted with 9TH

him from her, realized-too late
that she loved him.

s'Biuea deserved her fate, having
played fast and loose with the
heart of the man who adored her.
III. H. declares love can turn to

feel sorry for her. Why, it must
be terrible to suddenly wake up
and find out that you love some
one and that, you may not see
him again as long as you live.
What would you do if you were
Blue?
Don't you think il her friend
knew how she now feels, that
he would be a trifle glad she is
through acting like a spoilt little
girl and is beginning to grow up
and learn? Who was it said
Loving is a learnin' And, H.
H., / don't think real honest to-

This is a question worth think.
ing about. Can real love turn to
hate? Or is it only infatuation
and physical a ttra ction that
quickly flashes into repulsion and
dislike?
Is it not true that real love
knows no bitterness, but goes
right on blessing and loving to
the end--if there ever is an end
of love? 1t would be interesting
to hear from you on this subject.

of those discouraged moments
that come to all girlssonce in a

VERDICT DEFENDED.
Stewards Counsel Quote Jury's "Vindi-
cation"

Frank j. Hogan and Adkins and
Nesbit, counsel for Robert w. Stewart,
chairman of the board of the Standard
Oil Co. of Indiana, in the latter's
acquittal here on charges of perjury
before Senate oil committee, declared
in a statement made public today
nothing could be further from the
truth" than this verdict was based on
"technicality."
The technicality reference, Hogan
said, was said to have been contained
in a letter sent by John D. Rockefeller,
jr., to stockholders of the company
seeking proxies for its annual meeting
next March, in move to oust Stewart
from the Indiana board.
1.-THE verdict was based" Hogan's
statement added, upon the merits OF
the defense and the lack of merits in
the prosecution"
In this connection, counsel made
public formal statement signed by
the jurors declaring ''it was our inten-
as a vindication of Col. Stewart"
Our attention has been called tc
press reports in which it Is stated
that our verdict was based upon a
technicality," said the statement of the
Jurors. ''This is not the fact. We con-
sidered the charges on their merits and
acquitted the defendant thereof"
Our verdict was not based on the
lack Of quorum in the Senate COM
mittee. It was based on our belief
after hearing all the evidence, thai
Col Stewart had not testified falsely as
charged" .r

DR.. FRANK NORRIS
Church BURNED

ing Destroyed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH Tex, January 12.-
The First Baptist Church, of which
DR.. j. Frank Norris, noted funda-
mentalist, is pastor, was destroyed by
fire here this morning, along with an
adjacent four-story Sunday school
building and gymnasium belonging to
the church.
When discovered about 6 am, the
fire in the main building had a great
headway and ate rapidly into the
church, which was located in the heart
of the downtown district and one Of the
city's landmarks.
The bulk of the city's fighting
forces responded to the alarm, and
after two hours hard fighting saved
another four-story building owned by
the church and known as the admins
tration building. That building, which
apparently was damaged only from tne
outside, supports the broadcasting TOW,
ers of radio station KTAT, controiieo
by the Texas Air Transport. One OF
the towers fell into the blazing cnurcn
building.

for Fort Worth at once by automobile

wears. partly because of his vigorous
efforts at general reform and partly as
the result of his fundamentalist views.
He came even more prominently into
view two years ago when he shot and
killed D. E. Chipps, wealthy lumber
man. in the study of the church. He
was indicted and tried for murder, but
was acquitted on his plea OF self
| defense.
Once Accused of Arson.
The pastor has repeatedly charged
from the pulpit that threats have beer
made against his life and the church
establishment. Recently he has been un-
usually vigorous in campaigning against
alleged vice conditions here.
DR.. Norris was charged number OF
| wears ago with burning a church Of
which he was pastor, but was acquitted
after a long and stormy trial, one Of
the most sensational in the history o.
the State. He maintained that hi!
enemies burned that church and lale
