Writes

(For the Literary Service Bureau
A Brute of a Man - seduced and
lived with a girl then tried to kill her
marry him? No, No, Rilla unless
you are a fool spelled with capitals
and UNDERSIGNED.
(For advice, write Make Miller,
care of Literary Service Bureau, SIG
Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City,
Kans. For personal reply, send self
addressed, stamped envelope.)
Make Miller: Pm bringing you a
serious case. Bet you never had one
just like it. Pm a girl twenty five
years old. I'm engaged to a profess
sional man, | love him, or | did love
him. Well, T think l love him still.
But I've lost confidence in him and
respect for him.-This man had an
office girl and she was everything to
him. He confessed all that to me and
said he'd give her up and would live
right. But this girl who has been with
him ten years since she was sixteen,
would not give him up. One day she
went to his office and quarreled with
him. He got angry and beat her ter
ribly. He broke one of her ribs and
hurt her internally and she may die.
Since that, my love has been waning;
and I'm scared. / am afraid to trust
myself with a man who could be so
mean. What is best?-Rilla Rollins.
Rilla Rollins: A man who will
seduce a girl, promise to marry her,
use her in this way ten years, and
then deal with her thus, is unworthy
any consideration. You'd be a fool to
marry him, and perhaps you would be
a corpse, after a little while

Seemingly endowed with intel
ligence and discrimination, this
robot radio censor looks like a
supplementary radio set that is
hooked up with a conventional
radio broadcast receiver. Actually,
the talk eliminator works auto
matically and utilities a combina-
ton of electrical devices which re-
suit in the impartial suppression
of all talk and announcements,
along with advertising plugging
that some radio listeners find OBJ
jectionable.
The radio talk eliminator hook
up is such that whenever there is
a quarter of a second silence in
the program, the radio set is 81
lent for ten seconds. When a
speaker stops for breath, his
momentary silence, detected by
the talk eliminator, in turn
silences the radio to his message
for ten seconds. The detecting
brain" in the talk eliminator is
a detector amplifier similar to the
automatic volume control devices
now commercially incorporated in
radio sets. Whenever the current
in the brain" tube drops to zero
for the predetermined fraction of
a second, a selective relay comes
into action that silences the radio
for a predetermined length of
time.
Professor Kenrick has found
that setting the talk hating robot
for ten seconds Of silence is an
effective antidote for most radio
chatter. A very fast talker, like
Floyd Gibbons, can beat the
eliminator which can not silence
him until he stops for breath.
Music, which is usually con-
tinuous, passes inspection by the
censor robot except in the rare IN
stances when there are dramatic
