the young people want is each
others companionship. The fear
ridden parent looks upon this per-
Iectly normal and natural desire
with deep, dark suspicion for which
there is no cause. I do most decid-
edly think that 14-year-old girl
is too young for formal courtShip,
but if she has been brought up in
a normal manner, she has been
playing with both boys and girls
since infancy, and there's no reason
to stop this harmless play because
she has reached the ripe old age
of a.
Parents do not realize that the
segregation of the sexes is far more
dangerous to the young than
healthy association. Girls shielded
from all contacts with boys have
no chance to make comparisons
while they are growing up With
no background of knowledge of
boys they can not make an intel
ligent love choice when the time
comes, years later.
AS DR.. Frankwood Williams, in a
book on adolescence, has said, ITO
protect them (our children from
mud puddles, we throw them into
pit from which they can rot dig
themselves out"
The two great problems of ado
lescents is to free themselves from
the emotional need of their parents
care, and to adjust themselves to
the other sex. Parents who thwart
their children in these two i'm
portant stages of development
merely prevent them from gaining
psychic maturity, and are COM
pletely baff1ed in later years by
their children's failure in adult re-
lationShips.

young girl in my tWentieS, very
much in love with married man.
He is not the first married man
that I have played around with.
Ever since I met this man have
loved him and filled all his de-
sires. Now another girl is trying
to get him, but he says he loves
me and doesn't want any one else.
Should I tell him that 1 love him
and will marry him as soon as he
gets his divorce?
ALWAYS WRONG.
Answer-It probably would scare
him to death if he knew you ex-
pected him to get a divorce and
marry you. Why do you play around
with married men? Why do you
doubt your ability to compete for
single men? They are harder to
catch than married men, you know.
When married man makes love
to another woman he expects her to
take it for granted that he isn't
looking for permanence. OF neces-
sity the bachelor is much more
wary of entanglements. Therefore,
it's a much greater test of your
charm to cage a bachelor. Why
don't you try?

unconscious wish of the parent to
keep the child from growing uE
clothed in seeming unSeltlShness.
It is unhealthy to put false ideas
in a young girls head about the
total depravity of men. To protect
herself from fearSome masculine
advances, she is so filled With mis-
givings that she is handica Pped In
everyday relationships.
1 have no patience with people
who see cause for levlty in the
first, shy, clumsy attempts of ado
lescentS to find each other. They
miss completely the significance OF
these timld adventures in romance
10 laugh budding tenderness tc
scorn is to show crude lack OF un-
derstanding and to cripple the
young in their first stumbling steps
into grownup territory.
Dear Jane Jordan am COM
ing to you with something that
has troubled me for some time;
1 can't dismiss it from my mind.
My mother had misfortune when
she was a girl and it finally reached
the ears Of my wife seven years
after my mother died. I suppose
she thought she was doing some
thing great, for she told her
mother about it.
l confronted my wife with it
and she deliberately denied it. 1t
made me so desperate that she
confessed she told her mother.
From that time on it is not the
same. I don't have the respect
for her that I once had. 1 am
unable to forget it, and mentally
it is making me feel terrible. Ii
it were not for my children I
would walk away from her. I fail
to understand why 1 have to be
Inundated and embarrassed so by
her talking about my dead
mother. B. c. c.
Answer feel that you are max
ing a mountain out of a molehill.
Your wife didn't broadcast the
story but told it to her mother in
confidence. Many women have a
struggle to keep an important
secret, and seldom are able to re-
frain from telling one trusted
friend.
When your wife denied that she
had told, she only was trying to
save you from embarrassment to
avoid your displeasure. One OF the
penalties that unreasonable people
pay is that they tempt those who
love them to lie. A tolerant person
is more apt to hear the truth.
It is an admirable thing for a
man to respect the memory Of his
mother, but there is no reason to
regard her as so sacred that the
mistakes of her life can not be
mentioned. Nor is it fair for you
to penalize your wife as if she had
slandered your mother, which she
has not done. IN way, you have
made the two women rivals, with
the dead victorious over the living
Since you have been so unneceS-
sarily hurt over the incident, l
think you should talk the matter
out fully with your wife to clear
the atmosphere. 1t would also be
well for you to recognize that your
emotion is out Of proportion to the
cause.

This column is run by an indianapolis
writer for girls and boys, married people
and parents. If you need an outside
viewpoint on your problem, write your
letter now!
Dear Jane Jordan-We are two
girls of IA years. Do you think
mother ought to keep us from
having dates if we are willing to
go out in groups? We both respect
our mothers very much, but they
are inclined to bring us up as
they were, saying that all boys
have wrong ideas. We mix with
boys in school and know some who
are decent. We would like to hear
both the mothers and daughters
side of the question.
TWO GIRLS.
AnSwer-Every time 1 take a
young girls part against her mother
or father and insist upon her right
to companionship with boys, some
irate parent hits the ceiling. The
last report 1 had was that some
father said I authorized his daugh-
ter to go to a beer garden, which
I certainly did not do.

 New York. July 21- -(UP)- Heaviness of rail issues. with sey- eral agaIn recording new lSS4 lows, gave a lower tone to SHOCK market prices today in fairly ac- tive two hours session.
 There was nothing in the news to account for the heaviness, which was prolongation of yester- days break, but there was fair amount of liquidation. Some brok- CTS reported that overnight margin calls had been fairly heavy result ing in some selling in the opening hour today.
 Renewed strike violence, this time in Minneapolis, again called attention of Wall street to labor difficulties in various sections o1 the country and added to the bear ,shness which has been deyeloplng, in the last AS hours. Industrial indications today did nothing to relieve this feeling despite a sllsht pickup in steel operations In the Youngstown district.
 Cotton came back after it's tech nical setback yesterday and had gains of around $1.00 bale. Wheat rallied to show small frac- tional gains as the drought con tinued in the midwest; Bonds were irregularly lower with U. 5. government issues irregular.
 The opening on the stock market was the most active in several weeks, 33O,00O shares rolling out in the first hour with most prices down. Mining shares showed rallying tendency in later dealings but not sufficient to offset the heavier tone occasioned by rail weakness.
 Again numerous new 1894 lows week recorded-mostly by frac- tional declines--in the days deal ings. These included Delaware & Hudson, Bethlehem Steel, Ameri- can Woolen preferred, American Foreign Power, American Car s Foundry, American Power & Light, New York Central. Inter national Telephone, Radio Cor poration and U. s. Rubber.
 In the rail division chief weak ness centered in Delaware & Hud- son, off 1-2 points. The remain der showed losses of fractions with New York Central at 25 off 3-S.

STEEL SHIPMENTS AT
 LEVEL OF MAY 193O

New York, July 21-Shipments of finished steel products by the United States Steel corporation in June 1884 totaled 9S5.3S7 tons, the largest amount for any month since May 1880. it was announced in the corporations mid-July statement. F or the second quar- ter of this year shipments were D. 373,409 tons, the largest total for any 3-moEth period since the first quarter of 1881, when they were 2,469,S04 tons. Last months ship ments of 985,337 tons compared with 745,O63 tons in May: 603,937 tons in June 1888: 324,746 tons in June 1882, and 653,104 tons in June 1881. The increase for the second quarter was the more sig nificant in view of the fact that there were large cancellations be- fore June 30 of orders placed ir April, following announcements of price reductions toward the end of the quarter. Under the steel code orders cannot be carried over from one quarter to another.
