My friend will soon have q

close friends that it is all right
for her to give him q gift. I
told her that the proper thing
for her to do is to send him q

A man used to start his cam

FavOrs Corporal Punishment
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am 1S years of age and
dearly love a young widow
seven years my senior. MY
mother does not approve of
this and has done everything in
her power to stop 1t. Last
Saturday my mother made a
final command that, if she
saw me with this person again.
she would give me a sound
spanking. 1 disobeyed her and
we went to a party and had a
wonderful time, but as we
were coming home mother saw
me from the window. She
invited my sweetheart into the
house and put her threat into
execution. 1t hurt plenty and
later l cried from humiliation.
Do you think mother was
right in doing this? My sweet
heart keeps laughing and kid
ding me about it, l am really
desperate and intend to run
away or finish it all.

It seems to me mother was
bit over-zealous. But young
ster of your tender years going
about with a widow seven
years older than you are, prob
ably reduced Mama to state
where wrath got away with

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Although my parents are
quite strict. I manage to get
out sometimes. You may think
am being disloyal, but it's dis
gusting to have to stay home
all the time, ard not have
friends. Now when I do go out
with men, I just get tongue-tied
and can't think of anything to
say. At first I thought 1t was
because I hadn't quite got used
to going with boys, but now 1
realize I can't talk except with

also, what should 1 do about

I hope every "strict" parent
who reads this girls letter will
take the lesson to heart. If you
won't allow your daughters
certain amount of reasonable
liberty. they'll take it. And it
is much better for you to let
them invite their young friends

a chance to look them over,
than it is to refuse and have
the girls meet Tom, Dick and

100000 ALIENS IN U. S.
ILLEGALLY, CLUB TOLD

There are 100000 aliens unlawfully
living within the United States, with
approximately 100000 of them subject
to deportation, w. w. Husband, Assist
ant Secretary of Labor, told members of
the Cosmopolitan Club yesterday.
Mr. Husband said that $500 were
deported last year and about 10000
more will be forced to leave the country
this year because of the statute of limi-
tationS or from other causes.
The assistant labor secretary said
quotas from Canada, Mexico, Central
and South Americas, not affected by
the restrictive laws, had been greatly
reduced by action of various consulS in
refusing permits to enter this country
to those who did not appear to be able
to care for themselves indefinitely.
