Advice to the
loveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
He Hates to Sneak

4AO AAoSCS w SAASSA
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the past three months, I
have been going with a girl Of
my own age. It's the same old
story: We are in love. but her'
parents don't approve Of her
going out with boys. I work
in a theater round the corner
from her home, and her folks
come to the shows quite g. lot.
I was pointed out to them by
her kid brother, and they i'm
agine I am a lot older than I
really am. They're always tell
ing her to stop seeing me, so
we have to meet on street cor
ners on the sly, which I just
hate. I'd much rather go to
her home, meet her folks and
get it over with, whether they
throw me out or not. What do
you think of this situation?
L. w.
Your feelings about going to
your girls home, meeting her
family and getting it over with
does you credit. And if her
people are sensible, they'll let
you see each other there, in
stead Of having to sneak around
street corners and meet on the
sly.
Young people are much more
likely to fall in love and fall
out again if they are permitted
to see each other, than when
everything is done to keep them
apart. The best advice I can
give you is be patient. And my
advice to the girl S parents is
not to hurry youthful mar
riages by raising barriers be-
tween young people who are
probably only temporarily in
terested in each other, and if
left alone are as likely to be
interested in someone else in
six months time.

Stitution, Henrietta. He was oc-

with his shy, growing curiosity
about life and the world and the
armament above it. It might,
very possibly, be amusing to
have a girl around the house,
for his mother. For himself, he
did not know. A stranger? At

Your Health
And Diet
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.
Parents are likely to regard
whooping cough as a minor and
harmless malady.
It is, on the contrary, one
Of the most dangerous infec-
tionS of childhood. It is par
ticularly likely to affect the
youngest member of the fam
lily. Many cases occur in in
fantS of six months or less.
It's death rate is by no means
low.
Whooping cough is spread
by coughing, Sneezing, etc.
The causative germ which has
been identified is in the Sc
cretions Of the nose and throat
and may be present in the early
stages before the whoop has
developed.
Any child with a cold, who
is Sneezihg or coughing, should
be kept away from other chill
dren. Parents should not
caress a sick child indiscrimi-
nately. as the germ may be
spread by the parents kissing
first the sick child and then a
child who is uninfected. It is
well to keep children away from
other children in the neigh
borhood who have cought and
cold, for the same reason.
Beware the Cold
ANY cold that hangs on in a
child. and which is character.
ized by severe coughing, should
be suspected. The character.
lstlc whoop may not occur for
several weeks.
When fully developed the dis
ease is unmiStakable. The
Whoop is simply a long inspira-
tory crow, due to the fact that
the child has coughed until all
the breath is out of its body
SO that when it begins to
breathe in again the larynx is
IN SpaSm and the child has to
SUCK the air past the closed
larynx. This creates a char
acteriStic Growing sound.
Inc 1lrSt stage of whooping
cough-the catarrhal stage
lasts about two weeks. At this
time it is almost universally re-
garded as a bad cold. The first
suspicion should come when the
cough gets worse instead of
better during the second week.
Worse at Night
Then, 1t will be noticed, that
the cough is worse at night and
That after a prolonged spell of
coughing the child will vomit.
This vomiting is due simply to
gagg1ng and not because the
child is nauSeated. The vomit-
ing, however, is q serious detri.
ment to health, as it may cause
grave nutritional disturbance.
So true is this that these chill
dren should be fed after each
vomiting spell in order to keep
their nutrition at par.
Whooping cough is likely to
last a long time. From six
weeks to three months. This is
one of the dangers of the dis
ease. as the long course leads to
exhaustion and lowered nutri-
ton.
The most serious complication
Of the disease is bronchial pneu-
monia, which Is caused by an
extension Of the infection in an
bronchial tubes to the lung
tissue itself.

A Minor Wonder

One of the minor wonders of the
recent election was the way in which
Bismarck residents flocked to the
polls and the manner In which the
American Legion committee func-
toned to make sure that every eli
gible voter cast his ballot.
Because of the fact that the inter-
ests of every voter were directly at
stake, it was to be expected that near
ly everyone would come to the polls
northumberland most of them did.
Working steadily throughout the
day, however, the American Legion
committee checked up on every eli
gible voter and personally saw to it
that hundreds voted who might 9TH
erwise have neglected to do so.
From the standpoint of political
workers with long experience, it was
a demonstration of enthusiasm and
efficiency which put the Wanted or
CARNATIONS OF past years in the
shade. One old-timer remarked that
it was reminiscent of the palmiest
days Of Aleck Mckenzie, greatest of
North Dakotas political leaders.
Viewed from any standpoint, that
overwhelming vote will long stand as
high water mark in the expression
Of Bismarck's citizenship and as an
additional credit in the long list of
achievements amassed by the Amer
lean Legion.

Chauncey Olcott

Irish melodies and lore made the
name OF Chauncey Olcott famous to
lovers Of light opera and melodrama
with a soft rural background.
He missed dying on st. Patrick s
Day by few hours.
Few singers have done more to pop
ularize Irish melodies or instill love
for the Emerald Isle.
In practically every play he starred,
Celtic traditions dominated. He sung
his way into the hearts of the theater
goers for decades. Today the screen
has absorbed his type Of popular
amusement.
Chauncey Olcott devoted what abil-
ity he had to clean plays. They were
dramatic offerings OF scant plots but
justice exacted heavy toll and sinners
always suffered until the galleries
rocked and howled in glee.
There was considerable of the artist
about Olcott, too. Never endowed
with great voice, he made more out
of a pleasing tenor than many others
who had greater volume and richer
tone effects. Olcott made the most
OF his talent and brought JOY to mil
lions during his long career upon the
stage.
He appeared several times in Bis
marck to capacity houses. Off stage,
he was a pleasant companion, witty
and full of cheerful optimism.
The ballad, MY Wild Irish Rose"
was one Of his favorites and its sing
ing was as much part of his per-
Torrance as Casey at the Bat is
DeWolf Hopper's.
Olcott had many imitators. He Gre
ated the Irish singing comedian role
and for years the stage swarmed with
others who tried to cash in on his
But there was just one
Olcott.
Will anyone who has ever seen him
forget his portrayal OF the jovial
Irish squire or the injured unrequit-
ted lover signing out delicious melo-
dies with an inimitable brogue?
He got his start as blackface
and through long and hard
apprenticeship rose to affluence. Few
singers drew greater or more enthus-
iastic audiences.
He always kept his common touch;
he always walked with men. He was
dear old Chauncey to millions.

There is . general impression that
the child with some chronic disease
Is likely to be less Intelligent than the
one who seems wholly normal from a
physical point of view. Actually this
direct correlation between physical
health and mental ability cannot be
sustained.
Intelligence tests currently used
are planned to show not only the
ability to learn, but also the ability
to reason. A special investigator for
the Medical Research Council Of
Great Britain determined to make q
study Of the relationship Of disease
to intelligence by examining children
before they were Ill, during their ILL
ness, during their convalescence and
after recovery. and comparing these
results with examinations OF their
healthy brothers and sisters.
The investigation revealed the fact
that some diseases seem to bring
about a lowering of intelligence and
q tendency to misbehavior, whereas
others seem even to sharpen the in
telligence.
Investigations were also. made of
the relationship Of physique and sta
ture to intelligence. Altogether. lott
children in q hospital in Glasgow
were examined and their records
compared with those Of their broth
erS and sisters.
