DEAR NANCY LEE:
- am writing this letter for q
friend In q far-otf city. She Is
past her teens and 10 dearly in
love With q boy chum who has
"beaued" her around for over two
years. Every so often he wants
other company and takes a pretty
girl out once In q while. This
makes my friend just a little teal.
out but she lets II 60 and forgives
the boy friend. II she has com.
pany. another boy. her friend gets
angry and will not get over It
for over Q month. She is afraid
to hold a Errdge against the boy
for she is afraid that he would
leave her entirely. Don't you sup
pose he gets tired OF always
knowing that she always las that
forgiviny attitude7 II she held
a grudge for a month ! think he
would be more anxious for her
friendship but she Is afraid TO
do this. The other girl Is very
pretty and she Is plain Should
she paint up and initiate the other
girl or Just be herself? Won't
you settle this question for
DOLLY.
DOLLY: ] think that your friend
- is extremely unwise to per,
nit the young man 70 do something
that he viii not allow her to do.
Certainly she has cheapened her
self and II she II prepared to cling
20 the young a at the Isl OF
her s~elf-respect. she is Al liberty 10
do 50. and your Intervention or my
advice will not alter her makeup.
Let her make the most Of her charms,
for these days. nearly every girl is
pretty or 1t least attractive. and
let her seek other friends. Her own
friend may then appreciate the
charms Of the girl he treats SO cas-
ually.

SLIGHTING SOLDIERS

Representative Nelson of Missouri
speaking on government aid to for
mer9 soldiers qouted the following
verse:
God and a soldier all people adore
In time of war, but not before;
And when the war is over and all
things are righted,
God is neglected and the soldier
sighted.
1t is very poetical and touching,
but the charge of sighting certainly
does not apply to the average con-
gressman- especially just before
election time. Since the Civil War
practically every regular" con-
gressman has tried to personally in
crease the generous flow of cash
from the Treasury to the veterans,
and to their wives and dependents,
so that constant increases in pen
sions have been the rule. The New
York Times called the vetoed veter-
ans relief bill of the late Congress. "a
RECKLESS raid upon the Treasury"
and attributes the overwhelming
support for it to the reign of fear"
Its design" it added, "is to help
congressman at the fall elections"
1t takes a bold congressman to
oppose a soldiers pension bill, no
matter what its provisions are.
Presidents have been brave and con-
scientious enough to do it, but the
quaking legislators usually run over
their vetoes like flock of sheep go
ing over fence. 1t is too bad that
veteran relief has to be political
thing. Nobody is opposed to giving
proper rewards and all needed aid
to the men who have risked. their
lives for the country. That is moth
ing but right and natural. But if a
committee, after due study, proposes
what seems to be fitting and ade-
quate some members regularly seek
personal advantage by amendments
to double or treble the amount, and
all the others are afraid to follow
him. Many try to go him one bet
ter. Such has been the way of our
pension legislation. Being the "sol-
dier's friend is considered mighty
good politics.-The Pathfinder.
