Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Lear MISS rd1T1dX:
I am going with a boy three
wears older than I am. I
like him as a friend but not
as a lover. He likes to kiss
girls. He says he does it for
a pastime. What shall I do?
Tor I don't want to lose his
friendship, and he is being
good friends with my brother.
You see, he is the first boy
who has ever saked or taken
me out. j. A. V.
Don't you really think that
kisses should be something
more than a pastime? And
that for boy to expect toG
kiss every girl he goes motor
ing with is pretty cheap?
Why not try to educate this
boy into having a few better
ideals? When babies are little
they try to put everything
in their mouths. Some boys
seem to return to babyhood,
don't they?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am a widow very much in
love with a man I have known
for a year, and he is separated
from his wife. l do not think
he cares for me at all or he
would find time to call on me.
have waited at various places for
him after working hours and he
has never e~0eared.
He told someone he would
call me up, but I have waited
a week and haven't heard from
him. I can't sleep, or eat. am
so in love with him. Whenever
we met he was always so lovely
to me. but I just don't want to
push myself by going where he
is. Another thing, his birthday,
I am sure, is sometime this
month. I would love to send
him little something, but I do
not know the date.
A WIDOW.
Try TO take this man more
calmly. Evidently you're more
interested in him than he is in
you. He realizes this. and he is
probably suffering from a plain
case of masculine fright. When
a woman gets to the point
where she can neither eat nor
sleep, it's time she took herself
in hand. What diverts YOU
movies, theater, outings, friends?
Try 70 turn your interest in
some other channel for the pres
ent. Try to take an interest in
another man.

Huge Prosperity Loan
Should Be Floated

They do these things bet
ter in England.
So just as nothing can be
done to relieve the Treasury
and the taxpayer by taxing
the most lucrative and, to-
day, lawless, industry in
the country, nothing can be
done to restore foreign
trade to relieve the manu-
facturer, farmer, importer
and exporter.
And there is a third thing
that could, and should, be
done-a huge prosperity
loan should be floated to
get the money for needed
public works that will give
jobs to the unemployed, and
by restoring purchasing
power, put money in circula-
tion that will help the mer-
chant and manufacturer as
we'll as the worker.
But should Congress de-
eide on such a course there
is no certainty chat the
President would not inter-
vene with his veto; and in
deed there are reasons to
assume that he would.
Thus we have confusion in
government because we have
conflicting powers in our
governmental system - and
these conflicts are obstacles
to the forward march Of q
democracy.
Thus we are manipulating
money and doing all sorts Of
experimental things, but the
three things that would have
an immediate effect on eco
nomic conditions cannot be
done-because of the con-
fusion in government due to
conflicts in power. These

Many a devoted wife is just
hanging onto life, in the san
guine expectation that her hus-
band will some day grow up

Many a lonely golf widow
has fondly clung to her wander

that the day will come when
his rheumatism will keep him

Many a woman, with an at

on deferring the trip to Paris

that his dancing foot will grow

become too dim to distinguish
a blonde from a brunette.

I suspect we men and women

isn't saying very much for
either sex.
We're all fundamentally sell

And men make compromises
while women don't?
That, too, is true; but the
ladies shouldn't gloat too loudly
over that fact.
A refusal to compromise
doesn't necessarily imply a
sanctified soul. Frequently it
implies a limited brain.
Women won't compromise
because they do not see there

Men do compromise because

THE London Times, get
Il ting its impressions from
pro Administration news
papers in America, is prone
to ascribe our failure to
ascend from the depression
to Congress; where, as a mat
ter of fact, everything thus
far done that has served a
good end has been done by
Congress, and could have
been done months before
had it been called in extra
session. There is a conflict
of views and some confusion
in Congress-which perfectly
reflects similar conflicts in
views and confusion among
the people generally. We
are living in panicky times.
Assuming that mistakes
have been made, the fact re-
mains that there has not
been a Congress in genera
tions that has concentrated
so much upon it's task. Nor
has there been one in genera
tions confronted by such
serious and unprecedented
problems. There have been
more breakdowns among the
members than in years.
But England thinks of the
possibilities Of Congress in
terms of the English sys-
tem-and the truth is that,
in a crisis like ours today,
we suspect the English sys-
tenn is better than ours.
There is no such divided
authority in England as in
the United States; and in
En- gland there is more
democracy than here. There
are times when our Constitu-
tiOn seems not so perfect.

England Has q
Real Democracy

l. The taxing of the great
est source Of revenue in
America today-the liquor
traffic-now immune.
2. The leaving of the
Chinese Wall against foreign
trade through negotiations
with other nations on the
tariff.
8. The floating of a pros
perity loan-that will give
men jobs and revive do
mestic trade.
The English people can do
what they wish easier than
we Americans-for England,
with her king, and Ter dukes
and lords, has a real democ-
racy; and constitutions in
America check, and, at
times, destroy, the power of
the people.
Nor did it just so happen.
Read Madison's reports on
the Constitutional Conven-
tion, and note in the de-
bates, the ever recurring ex-
preston Of distrust of the
people and dislike of democ-
racy; and the frequent sug-
gestions that this or that
provision will hold the peo-
pie back.

the "rejuvenated" husband will
get TOO peppy and put too
much strain on the old heart.
And then, you can win him
back to grace and the wheel
chair-and collect the insur-
ance. A husband in a wheel
chair is a GOOD husband!
That's one time when his
wife can be sure that he will
stay at HOME! But, until he
is chair-ridden or dead, the
average man is Just a BOY at
heart, and wants to keep right

The new Congress has
passed a bill calling upon
the President to begin nego-
tiations, through the chan
nels of diplomacy and in an
international conference, for
the removal of these present
barriers against interna-
tional trade. For the Grundy
act has transferred our
tariff policy to the field of
diplomacy.
The President will veto
the bill-for the same Presi-
dent who forced this act
upon the statutes remains in
power after his reputation
in 1880 by the people at
the polls. Thus nothing is
done or can be done:
In England when a gov

vote are speedily put into

But We Have a
Constitution

There are three things
that could be done to relieve
the country's strain in taxes
and unemployment. Under
the English system all three
could be done speedily. Un-
der our system not one of
the three can be done by
Congress with much hope
that it would not be undone
by the Executive.
One of the three things
that should be done under
existing conditions is to meet
the deficit and lower the
taxes that are disastrous to
business by ending the
mockery of prohibition and
taxing the liquor business
the most lucrative and ar
rogant in America today.
There would be no serious
deficit in the Treasury but
for our abandonment Of one
of the most prolific sources
of revenue-a source that
all other nations tap.
And without the deficit
there would be no necessity
for increasing the taxes on
other forms of business and
on individuals to the point
where it hurts.
Were England situated
where we are today, the pro-
hibition act could be swept
from the statutes speedily
and a vast revenue could be
added almost overnight; not
only could be, but would be,
because the English are
realists.
But we have a Constitu-
tion.
And prohibition, which
never had any place in a
fundamental law, is in that
Constitution.
And when it comes to
getting it out of the Consti-
tuition a small percentage of
the States, representing a
ridiculously small number
of people, can BIZ: the way.

Another of our major
troubles is traceable to the
prohibitive tariff act which
has invited the retaliation Of
the world and resulted in
destroying our foreign mar
kets, without which millions
of workingmen must be dis
charged from American fac
tories. This tariff act never
would have been passed but
for the pressure from the
President, who managed, by
extraordinary activities, to
force it through the Senate
with a margin Of two votes.
