VI. +. WI am a poor widow.
Will you please tell me what to
do!
Ans: Why don't you go to stay
with your step daughter? She
wants you to stay with her, and
will be more than glad to help
you along until you can find work
there-Even though you are work
ing now, you can find something
better to do after you make this
change.
j. w. P.-I am working now
and would like to make a change
for l don't like this work and IL
doesn't pay enough. Do you think
i can secure another jOb9
Ans: Certainly you can. Any
one who is as hard worker as you
are should have no trouble in
keeping work. Your next job
will be with the MOTOR CAR
COMPANY which you would like
to get on at. However, don't let
your son depend on 20 too much
for money He is just using you
for all he can get out of you.
J. H. have a girl friend now
and / want to know ii she will
mean anything to me in the
future?
Ans: How can you expect her
to mean anything to you? You
like her and still want to go with
her, bit you have no intentions of
falling in love with her. She'll
choose one Of the other boys she
is going with now so she'll be as
sured of having someone that
isn't just Blowing Off Steam about
her.
G. A.-Will | have to continue
on like this or would ii be better
for me to get married?
Ans My dear young lady, you
are making a mistake by thinking
that anyone would marry you and
take over the responsibility Of
paying the bills which you owe.
You'll just have to continue on
like you are but try to live cheap
er and pay up your bills before
you even consider getting married.
+. l. K.-I would like TO know
when my husband and / will be
able to start our home and COM
plete It?
Ans: You'll be able to begin
work on your New Home about
the end of the spring months. How
ever, it will be the latter part oil
this year before you'll complete
it if your husband doesn't Shake 6
Leg and scare up some more mon,

Hockey's Lure Matter
of Games Uncertainty
By Stewart Iglehart

The tip-off on my personal prefer
ence In the sports that have bruised
and amused me since my early years
Is, think, best shown by the pic
lures on the walls Of my office The
room is fairly compact, the walls large
enough for dozen photos. There Is
one polo picture, group shot OF the
Templeton side that won the Open
and Monte Waterbury cups In 1884.
All Of the others are hockey pictures,
mementos of my biggest sports thrills
the Boston olympics' world cham
pionship victory at Prague In 1888.
When polo match is over rarely Is
there any lasting fatigue. The hockey
player who, after his two-mlnute
stretch, comes off the Ice with any
breath left just Isn't doing his job.
The skill elements In both games are
somewhat similar In that practice
and constant practice Is the main item.
For most hockey players that means
scrimmaDino. skating through the de-
Tense for a shot at a guarded net.
There's exhilaraton In that. Only oc-
casionaIIy does a player, like Eddie
O'kccfc OF the Rovers, work consist
emily at the penalty shot or any other
single speciality. The poloist, from no.
uoaer to ten-goalcr, spends hours hit
tinQ from the wooden dummy-horsc, or
rides alone, making each shot deliber-
ately and schooling pony to his style
Of piay-if he wishes to improve.
Then when he's all set, the poloist
takes the field to find that speed rules.
The horse Is boss. Various estimates
have been placed on the mounts I'm.
portance in the game. Some scientific
followers OF the sport have even
graphed every --pony's step, every mans
stroke In an international match to
determine 1t.

Pure Iron Unknown

Although about 700,0O0,0O0 tons OF
Iron are In use In the United States,
not an ounce of chemically pure iron
has ever been produced, states writer
In the New York Herald-Tribune. Ii
the production OF a quantity OF pure
iron could be accomplished, a revolu-
ton In the iron and steel Industries
would be likely TO- result from Its In
vestIgation. The properties OF pure
i.on are unknown and are merely
guessed at on the basis OF samples OF
high degrees OF purity. The pures'
samples produced show unusual prop
critics. Those made by methods used
for determining the atomic weight OF
iron, by publication In hydrogen
flame. are immune to rust Even wher
placed In pure water and oxygen fo'
several months they showed no sign
