Advice to Girls
BY ANNIE LAURIE
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
/ have been going with q fellow
for nine months. Last week he
wanted to see me on Thursday eve
ming. but as I had made a previous
engagement / refused him. He
wanted to see me on Friday eve
ming but I gave him my excuse for
not wanting to do this and suggest
ed seeing him either Saturday or
Sunday evening.
/ saw him on Saturday night and
he told me I was too indifferent and
that he was through with me. j
have not seen him since.
Now. Annie Laurie. I love this
fellow dearly and have reasons 10
believe he likes me. Can you advise
me how to win him back?
BROKEN-HEARTED.
Broken-Hearted. NV dear do
simply nothing at ALL II the young
man Is so selfish and 50 unreason-
able. I am sure YOU would lever be
very happy with him. He has no
right TO attempt to limit your
friendships a S you are not engaged
Try a big slice OF indifference To
him and go about with your other
friends. Don't let him sec by any
action of yours that you are pin
ing for him. If he for you az
all. he will come back to you. but
in the meantime. pay no attention
70 him whatever. except to be
friendly as ever when you meet.
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
I am a girl and will soon be II
yeas Of age.
For about a year and a half l
have been keeping company with a
man who is tWenty-seVen.
We seldom 60 out Eve have gone
to one movoie this winter but about
once a week he calls at my home.
I am too young to know whether
I am in love with him or not. i
have always told my parents / would
never marry him, although I en-
joy his friendship and We get along
very nicely.
My real problem Is this: Mother
told me if I didn't intend to marry
him at any time I should give him
up. I realize this as he has no
home OF his own and II would be
fair to him to tell him that we can
only be friends.
A few days ago I mentioned this

fact TO him. He said that was all
right, he didn't care to get mar
ried. We agreed TO be merely
friends, and see each other once in
a while. Still mother thinks I
should not allow him to call at all.
Please advise me. quit. not 10
quit or limit ourselves. MARIE.
MARIE: or course, you will have
to be governed by your mothers
wishes. But. personally. I can see
no harm in being friends with the
young man. If you enjoy his COM
pany. there is no reason under the
sun why you should not see him

LIGHTHOUSE LIFE
EASED BY RADIO
Keepers, Often Isolated for
Months, Pleased With
Wireless Service.

President Hoovers pleas and the gen.
erous response of American donors
have made radio entertainment. re-
ligious services and news flashes
pleasurable part of the otherwise drab
and lonely routine life of American
lighthouse keepers at stations extending
from Unimak Pass, at the entrance to
the Boring Sea. to the extremities of
American territory in Maine, Florida,

The United States Lighthouse Serv-
ice, with a personnel OF about l,400
men and women. scattered to the out
posts of navigation. records with pleas
ure that radio facilities are now avail
able to practically all its lightkeepers.
President Hoover's pleas through the
press several years ago, at conference
of lighthouse officers responsible to him
as Secretary of Commerce, resulted in
the donating of some 800 sets and the
necessary parts by commercial con-
Germs and private individuals for this
purpose,
These have been distributed, the
Lighthouse Service announces, to those
lighthouses and lightships where the
keepers could not afford to buy their
own. The result, 1t is stated, has been
a general frightening of morale, for
the radio sets have done much to re-
lieve the monotony of life at isolated
points and have added to the content
ment of employees, making the service
more attractive"
Some Are Isolated.
Some intensely human sidelightS on
radios service to lighthouse tenders,
who often cannot be reached with mail

houses, such as Minots Ledge, off the
Massachusetts, coast, or Tillamook Rock
off the mouth Of the Columbia River,
in Oregon, can be reached only when
weather is favorable, and are isolated
for many weeks at time.
Apropos the recent election. Commits

from the keeper at American Shoal, a
Florida reef light, which states:
"At other times, when President was
