Gives Advice
to Youth

Here IS a letter from a young
man who describes himself as
''girl.shy." Yet he is lonely and
longs for the companionship of
nice girls, "Dr. Marky," as my
correspondent chooses to sign his
letter, asks one or two interest
ing questions:
Dear Miss Fairfax" his letter
reads. "I am young student at a
well.known college, and find lmy-
self confronted with very per-
picking problem. Here is the lay
of the land. as it were: The girl
/ love lives in my home town.
But l am rather lonely and would
like to meet an old-fashioned girl.
Il am extremely girl-shy and
phlegmatic. Taking a city girl
out requires money. don't
mind that. but why must l kiss
and pet her? l am a normal
young man, mind you, but to
kiss a painted temptress certainly
does not appeal to me. This, all
in all, is a source of extreme en-
barassment to me, coupled with
extreme blushing and a striking
absence or sex appeal.
will you kindly advise me as
to how l can overcome this en-
barrassment, and inform me as
to whether there are such things
as old-fashioned girls to be found
in a city such as this in which
am now living while l attend
college?"
Are there any fashioned
girls in our cities today? Well,
that depends on what you mean
by "old-fashioned," DR.. Marky.
If you are looking for a girl
with a wasp waist and high POM
padour, with skirts to the floor
and a huge picture hat. in short
for a girl dressed in the fashions
of 20 years ago. you probably will
not find one anywhere except on
the stage in a period drama or
at a fancy dress party. But if
you mean by an oldfashioned girl.
one who is modern and good
wholesome and earnest, as we'll as
pretty and attractive. let me as
sure you every city has its full
quota of these new fashioned-old

cause she follows the modern
manner in dress. just as We ali
do. men and women, But the
thing for YOU to do is to study
her personality. looking past the
modern fashions and customs to
which all girls more or less, adhere.
Yes, my friend. there are thou
sands of girls who do not permit a
casual escort to kiss and pet them,
girls who have dignity and self
respect. "
1t may be these girls are not SO

the flapper type Of "temptress'
that repels you. Extremely nice
girls are, of course, not adVertis-

L would suggest that If YOU
identify yourself with the work of

character building club of your
own religion. you will soon make
friends among worthwhile young
men and these in turn will intro

of the still great mileages Of unin-
proved roads.
Several traffic surveys conducted
by states in collaboration with the
Bureau of Public Roads have re-
vealed that a quite small percent
age of highways carries most Of the
traffic-in Ohio about go per cent
of the traffic travels over one
eighth Of the roads. The township
highway system containing about
three-fifths Of the states roads ac-
commodities but an eighth of the
vehicles.
In considering the placement of
highway building funds, it must be
borne in mind that only slightly
more than one-fifth of the total
population is on farms. Along
with this, it must be remembered
that the highways connecting cities
and towns usually pass through the
most populous rural regions. I'm
deniably, more can be accomplish
ed through continued concentration
on state highways, which have been
Sc designated because they carry
the most cars.
Clearly, when Iowa's county seats
and towns are all connected every
rural resident will have easy access
to a hard surfaced road.

Criffmen Tackle New Red SOx
After Being Jolted by Macks

Brown continued through two more
rounds in rather good fashion, but for
some mysterious reason he was lifted
to let a pinch-hitter perform. Then
Arch Campbell came on to fill the bases
and turn over the works to Bob Burke.
Bob was combed for the remainder of
the Mackian runs before he could get
out Of the hole Campbell had dug for
him..
All told, the Macks made IL safeties
for Is bases of the quartet of Wash
ington pitchers. The best the Nationals
could get off the left-handed Rube
Walberg, who went the route. was a
total of safeties. Three of these
were clustered in the first for tally.
In the fourth they backed a pass with
another hit and squeeze play to
register their final run. At other times
Walberg simply southpawed them to
insensibility.
1t was q fine burst of speed that
Sammy West showed in the first inning
when he topped one of Walberg's
pitches and sent the ball toward Second
baseman Bishop. Sammy covered the
distance from plate to first so quickly
that Bishop never had a chance for a
play.
Rueps bunt that accounted for the
Washington score in the fourth was
all that could be desired It pulled Hale
far in from third base and with Bluege
winging with the pitch he crossed the
plate before the Mack fielder reached
the ball.
President Griffith has asked Judge
Lands to take action in the case of
Pitcher Paul Mccullough, who has not
yet reported to the Nationals. First or
dered to join the club at the Florida
training camp in February, Mccullough
was excused because of illness. Since he
has announced his recovery from flu
bronchitis attack that had him down,
but has persisted in refusing to join
the club.
Goose GosIin Is getting an early start
at bat this Spring. The man who won

pionship last season now boasts an
average of 500 for the 1929 campaign.
He got two more hits yesterday.

r licked to a FRAGILE by the Athletics
in the opening of the season, the
Nationals now are stacking up
IL against flock Of former team
= mates, trusting they may crash
into the win column in the American
League at last. Four athletes, who play
ed with them last year and another
who. was on the roster with them Tor
a time, are. here with the new Red Sox
of Boston, who were to begin a four
game series at Griffith Stadium this
afternoon and at least three OF them
are fairly certain to be encountered
during the battling.
Bob Reeves, with the Nationals Tor
some time, already is fixture APP
parently at third base for Bill Carrl-
gan's crew, while Horace Lisenbee ana
Milton CASTOR, wearers OF washington
livery last season, probably will do some
pitching against their former CLUB.
Grant ellis, once Washington in
fielder, now fills utility role with Bos-
ton and so does Elliot Bigelow, an out
fielder, who belonged to the Griffith
organization but never played for 1t.
For this four-game series Manager
Walter johnson has lined up a pitch
ing group he believes will score some
victories. Fred Marberry was to make
his season start this afternoon and fol-
lowing him Ad Liska, who performed
so brilliant in the latter part CT the
season opener Wednesday, probably Will
get a chance to begin a game. Irving
Hadley is likely to attempt come
back Sunday, with Sam Jones or Gar
land Braxton taking the hill Monday.
However, the way Johnson's pitchers
have performed, this program may be
shot to pieces before the Red Sox series
is very old. The Washington pitching
staff was bumped severely again yes
terday when the Athletics won, 8 to 2.
to sweep the two-game series. Hadley
tried to check the AS and did so sue
cessfully for four innings. He looked
a wonder in those four, but in the fifth
the visitors hoped OH him for four
hits and pass and before Lloyd Brown
could stem the onslaught they had hung
up six runs, that made the Nationals
two scored early in the fray seem as
nothing.
