Never. Yet it is all that I have.
Whether my sexual instinct has
been dormant or stifled, I can't de-

finding and attracting a mate. Do
you think it is a fever and that I

Frankly speaking 1 have awakened

by JANE JORDAN.

What can a girl do but hopelesslJ
hold her tongue?
Answer-Plenty if she's wise in
the ways of her sex. You can't
walk up and propose to him to be
sure, but you can make the man
aware of the fact that you are
woman. Up until the present
you've been too absorbed in work
to be conscious of your own
femininity. It is hardly likely that
a man would be aware of some
thing which you yourself take no
pains to emphasize.
Nobody notices eyes that never
shine, lips that never smile, cheeks
that never flush or hearts that
never palpitate. If you want your
in-law's brother to notice you,
don't be afraid to notice him first.
Interest yourself in his ideas, his
pursuits, his pleasures instead of
idly dreaming about what you
think he is. Show some enthusi-
asm for his looks, his decisions,
his business prowess. Admire him
in your own modest way. All these
things you can do without throw
ing yourself at his head.
No doubt you've been dressing
yourself in serviceable business
clothes without thought of femi-
nine lines and color. Snap out of
it and learn to wear clothes that
call attention to your femininity.
A man first discovers woman
through his eyes and don't forget
that he is most often attracted to
the girl whose appearance endears
her.
Your remark that perhaps you
are getting boy crazy suggests that
you may have some secret con-
tempt for the wiles of women and
that you feel there is something
undignifed in the softer emo
tions. You're slightly ashamed of
your change of attitude You
needn't be. A change of atti-
tude often results in a change
OF experiences, ana that what
you want, isn't it?

true that only one side of every

only thing I object to in the re-

Army officers made arrangements to
give many of the hundreds of storm
victims a mass funeral in Arlington
National Cemetery.
Relief Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins, who hurried back to Washington
today to take personal charge of re-
lief activities, declined to reply imme-
diately to criticism that the Weather
Bureau warning warranted an earlier
attempt to remove the veterans from
the path Of the hurricane.
The American Legion Joined In the
investigation of conditions Of veterans
in the hurricane zone today by send
ing Capt. Watson B. Miller, national
rehabilitation chairman, to Miami to
study the situation.

reasons why the men were not re-

Upon his return from attending the
funeral of Mrs. Harold Ickes, Hopkins

mands from Arthur r. Boring, Florida
commander of the American Legion,
and Representative J. Hardin Peter
son of Florida.
The relief administrator Is await
ing personal reports from two inves-
tigators dispatched to the scene of the
disaster from Washington. Mean
while, relief officials. while implying
no blame, declared the veterans con-
struction camps on the keys were
under direct control Of the Florida
State Relief Administration.
Peterson, according to an Associ-
ated Press dispatch from Miami, said
he telegraphed Hopkins ito find out
why they didn't evacuate those
islands"
Miami Chamber Joins Demand.
The telegram was dispatched at
Boring's request. Hopkins said he haa
not received the message this morning.
Meanwhile, the Miami Chamber Of
Commerce asked President Roosevelt
for q prompt and impartial investi-
cation of the delayed action to remove
veterans from the Florida Keys
camps" The chamber also asked the
inquiry to include Weather Bureau
activities"
A similar request was made by the
