Boy
Advises
Girl
By George Antheil

Dear Mr.. Antheil: 1 am 18. I
went with a boy for two years.
Then we broke up. I met an old
schoolmate and he asked me
for dates. But my mother dis
likes him and I can't go out with
him. He is respectable and we'll
behaved. He would take me
anywhere I wished and would
spend money on me. Should I
give him up? Should I go with
the ones my mother picks? I
like this boy as a friend. but not
seriously and would like to keep
him just as a friend. I don't
think my mother should pick
my company.-A Reader"
Why make an issue of seeing
the boy? You would think he
were the only available chap on
your list. You like him, but I
will wager you if your mother
keeps on in her attitude Of dis
approval you will end up by
thinking you actually love him.
So drop him now when it is
safe. I don't say that you must
accept boys your mother selects.
But can't you get together on
this? I have an idea that if a
boy is respectable and has good
manners, he will call on a girl
at her home and win her
mother as well as the girl. Evi-
IDENTIFY this boy has not pre-
Sented himself in a favorable
light. In other words, he has
not pleased the mother but has
concentrated on the daughter.
A wise boy would win over
mother first.

Advises Fussing
OUer Husband
Dear Mr. Antheil.

Il read a letter in your col
umn from a married woman on
kissing. When and why did she
stop kissing her husband? I
have been married IA years and
we haven't stopped making love
yet. Too many women are afraid
they might belittle themselves if
they fuss over their husbands,
wait on them, pick up after
them, empty ash trays after
them and so forth. Then they
kick if their husbands go out
too much.
why don't they put them
selves out and try to make their
husbands comfortable at home?
Let them budget their time, cut
out some of their bridge parties
and movies and be homemakers.
Let them use the can openers a
little less oftener.

Mrs. MitchiSon contends that
two years of reeducation after
a woman has had her children
would be equal to four years of
adoleScent university work.
Mothers would then be free to
start the next phase Of life; pro-
fessions would be arranged. for

holds that the best age for a

sional ranks is IS.

the novelist explains, "and then,
what meetings there would be
between such mothers and their
children! What inspiration;
what deep and fundamental
things to talk and plan. 1t
would alter everything; 1t
would make a new outlook be-
tween men and women, a new
kind Of respect. It would save
the intelligent woman from the
terrible strain Of keeping be-
tween her work and this other

instead, she would be given a

both things are possible, and
both have honor"

Boston, Feb. 24-CUP)-New evil 6ence was on file today contradict ing testimony that led a superior court judge to order former Gov ernor James M Curley and Joseph Santosuosso to pay the city of Bos- ton $62,625.
 Seeking to have the case reopened, defense counsel filed two affidavits with Judge Frederick w. w. Eos dick, who already has found that Curley, while mayor, accepted a $30,000 bribe and that both con- mitted perjury in court.
 Judge Fosdick continued to March g hearing on the question of ad- hitting the evidence and reopening the trial. Meantime, filing of final decree was delayed.
 Later, Frank L. Simpson, counsel for SantosuosSo, twice democratic candidate for secretary of state, an- nounced he would have two addi- tional affidavits within two days.

 Wildes and Roberts said in their affidavits that Graves showed them large sums of money several days after the money, according to Graves testimony, had been paid to Curley.

NO BAG HEEL ORSI
 FOR PRINCESSES.
New York Deserted As Al- bania's Fairest Daugh-
 ters Near Our Shores
BY JOSEPR LMYLER United Press Stan COtresDOndent)

United Press Stan COtrespOndent)
 New York, Feb. 14-If it's true what they say about the Princess Fog, the three unmarried sisters of Albania's king will be disappointed no end when they arrive here on the Italian liner Conte di Savoia next Monday. There aren't hand full of eligible young bachelors in town and not enough hostesseS- who-cotnt to make paragraph on the Soicety page.
 According to cables from Europe, the Prinsesses-Maxhide, 26, Rufaije, 27, and Myzeyen, 27-would not re- fuse any introductions to young men of wealth who happened also to be single and 21. It is said that King Fog, who himself plans to take a spouse of American ances- try, is pretty worried about their spinsterhood and wants them to become wives, like their three older sisters.
 The United States, history shows, is a happy hunting ground for titled Europeans, but the designation doesn't fit New York in the winter time. Most of the boys have gone to Florida or elsewhere and won't be back until spring is well estab- lished in Manhattan.
 Take Sailing Baruch and Milton Holden, they're in Florida. Dan Topping is on 8 round -the-world cruise, and Alfred Vanderbilt is way out west somewhere.
 Other eligibles include a couple of RockefellerS, Alfred Clark, and Woolworth and James Donahue, the latter now in Florida.
 That leaves, in the immediate neighborhood-T ommy Manville But Manville, after spending $1,000,- 900 (: so to get rid of four wives, has declared he will not under any circumstances take fifth.
 Of course, 1t may be that Max hile, Ruhije and Myzeyen aren't looking for husbands. Among the reported reasons for their visit is political mission said to have been entrusted to them by King Fog. It has to do with Bishop Fan Noli of the Orthodox church, porm- CT premier of Albania now living in exile in Boston.
 Noh was premier in 1924 when Ahmed Zogu, revolutionary chief tain, was sentenced to death. When Zogu came down out of the Alban- ian hills and made himself King Fog I, Noli found it advisable to flee, taking with him many of his country's intellectual leaders.
 King Fog, it is said, now wants Noli and other Albanians in the United States to return in peace and safety to their homeland. It is un- derstood the three princesses will convey his appeal to Noli in Boston.
 Whatever the sisters do while here, they must get back home by May in order to attend the wedding of their royal brother and the Countess Geraldine Apponyi, whose mother was Virginia Stewart of New York. The young princesses met the countess in Budapest some time ago and introduced her to the king. The engagement followed.
 An aide-de-camp to King Fog and two women of the court are travel ing with the princesseS and will be their companions here. The city has made no arrangements for an official reception.

 Scott urged that Attorney Gen. eral Homer s. Cummings institute suit to determine whether the states or the federal government own oil rights in under-Sea fields. The question of such ownership has been emphasized in recent months by de- velopment of new drilling equip ment, opening up vast fields in the Gulf of Mexico and of the Cali fronia coast for exploitation.
 The senate resolution authorizing such suit would enable the gov- ernment to take possession of the fields for creation of naval reserves.
