this gesture of good will surprisingly
effective.
But don't let your more friends"
program stop there. Continue it
throughout the year. And remember
that most friendships are built on
a community of interests. If you
want to have more friends. therefore,
develop additional interests. Get
into new activities. Join a new club
at school, take up a new sport,
develop a new skill.
Another splendid way to make
1910 red-letter year for you is to
inventory your social equipment, and
take steps to reinforce it where it is
weak. Perhaps you've been pursuing
popularity under the handicap of
being unable to dance. Give yourself
a break by persuading one of your
rug-cutting acquaintance to take
you in hand. or join dancing class.
Try to Become
A Better Talker.
Or you may find it impossible to
talk easily and intelligently on a
date. Study the technique of your
more successful friends. Read more,
to increase your supply of conver-
sational material. And remember to
find out the other fellows interests
and lead the discussion to them.
After that, you merely have to be a
good listener.
No matter what your weakness is,
ferret it out and go to work on it.
An intelligent appraisal of your own
social assets and liabilities, followed
by an earnest and persistent effort
toward self-improvement, will do
wonders for you. But it takes some
thing more than pious New Year
resolution!
There are no limits to the form
your planning for 1910 might take.
You might figure out program for
improving your wardrobe, not by
dashing out and spending all your
Christmas money in one grand shop
ping orgy, but by buying carefully
and thoughtfully throughout the
year, as your needs and your finances
dictate. You could cultivate your
out-of-town friendships by writing
one letter week. A club to which
you belong may be suffering from
lack of ideas and enthusiasm. BY
devoting some time and thought
to it, it could be made much more
pleasant and profitable for you and
all the other members.
And how about your mental equip
ment? If you're still in school,
you're probably getting just about
all the education you can take. But
If you're working, or looking for a
job, you can add immensely to your
chances for success by devoting a
few hours to study every week. So
few young people take advantage of
the spare-time educational oppor-
tunities open to them that doing so
actually makes you marked man
or girl. You're marked as ambi-
tious- as good bet for future
responsibility.
Get More Fun
From Parties.
You can plan to give a couple of
good parties of your own during
1910, and to be an ever-welcome
guest at those given by others.
Learn some new games and be ready
to suggest them when the gang be-
gins to get bored. Be alert for fresh
ideas-different places to go, diff
ferent things to do, or unusual ways
of doing the old familiar ones.
That's what we mean by plan
ming and doing in 1910, rather than
merely swearing off or solemnly re-
solving. Action is the idea, and
let's skip the good intentions. De-
eide on one thing you'd like to

Answer-These are very valid OBJ
jections to boys that the youngsters
might well take into consideration.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: After
working my way half through col
lege, because I am ambitious and
desired college education, I gave
1t up and went to work to earn
money because had fallen in love
with a girl. This girl has no desire
for knowledge or interest in it. She
is very vain, always Dragging Of her
admirers and how beautiful she is
when, in reality, she is only mod
erately good looking and entirely too
fat. She is jealous and suspicious of
me, accuses me of being unfaithful
every time I have to stay downtown
at night to work. Doesn't trust me
for q moment when I am out of her
sight. I see her faults with an open
mind and have decided to call quits
to all romance until I find a girl
whose faults don't see. What do
you think?

the boys who take us for granted
and assume we are always dying to
see them or will jump to go with
them somewhere, even if they ask us
at the last minute. We would like
for them at least to show us the
courtesy of pretending to believe
that we are difficult to get. We hate
boys who tell dirty stories and who
expect us to think their obscene
jokes are funny. We dislike boys
who have rough and uncouth man
ners and who think they show they
are he-men by not observing any
of the conventions Of good society.
We dislike boys who make us pay
for every attention they show us
by staging necking parties. We
dislike boys who make love to every
girl they see and who hand her the
shop-worn line about where have
you been all Of my life, ETC." And
last, but not least, we dislike boys
who try to show of on a dance floor
by doing steps they know their
partners can't do.

"Gifts???"
Coffee Shipped by
Waterburians Ar.
rives in Italy
Laden With
Taxes.

Quantities Of gift" coffee are
being shipped to Italians in Italy
from relatives and friends In the
United States, 1t was learned here
today.
The italian government, 1t was
learned, levies a huge tax on each
shipment Of gift" coffee that
reaches Its shores.
Italians have been without coffee
for several months by decree Of
the government. Early In October,
however, O notice appeared in the
italian press to the effect that
those who have relatives and
friends in the United States or else
where might ask them to send
coffee, provided 1t was sent as q
gift.
In this way the italian govern
ment prevents money from going
out Of Italy.
It was learned from Waterbur-
ians who received urgent letters
from relatives asking for coffee
that the italian newspaper notice
stated the coffee could be sent In
amounts up to ~ pounds 90 chilli,
italian weight).
According to people who have
received shipments Of this gift"
coffee, custom officials levy q tax
Of 20 lire on each chilo Of the cof-
fee that reaches italy. This repre-
sents a tax Of approximately $40
for 2 2-10 pounds.
Because Of the enormous tax,
shipments are being made in very
small amounts. The coffee that is
being sent is the green" bean, as
coffee already roasted would spoil
long before 1t reached Italian per-
colators. 80
Letters received here state that
coffee Is the only foodstuff that
has been banned by the italian
government. The letters intimate
however, that ration-c cards may
soon be distributed to the italian
people.

PATROL REPORTS
TO PRESIDENT
In all the sea-lanes that touch all
our territories, the president wants
to know what goes one. Where cruise
the cruisers Of Britain's and Frances
West Indian squadrons? Where Turk
the German sublnarines9 Are they
being refueled by oil-tankers-and Of
what nationality Are they laying
mines, establishing island bases?
The president has announced
strange submarines already are In
our waters and his announcements,
1t is intimated here, are not uncon-
nected with the neutrality patrol.
The reports from the patrol go
direct to him and he decides wheth-
er, when and how they shall be made
public. The. Y1avy's not to answer
why; but neither, thus far, to do or
die.
NEUTRALITY ZONE
is EXPERIMENT
The neutrality patrol is an effort
ITO make the Western Hemisphere
safe for neutrality" It began Sep
TENDER 9Th at Panama when all In
dependent American countries in
GLIDING ourselves agreed that, as long
as they kept out Of Europe's war,
Europe should keep its war. out Of
their neighborhood. : :r, 81.
No fighting, not even squabbling,
in the waters adjacent to North and
South America; In fact, no act that
might endanger our neutrality
that was the new international law.
To date the neutrality patrols Job
has been to stop, look, listen - and
not to cross the tracks Of interna-
tional collision. II 1t spots belliger-
ents, 1t has orders neither to inter-
fere nor use force. Just the presence
Of an Argus-eyed policeman may be
enough, 1t is felt.
Repeal Of the arms embargo viii
see American sea-lanes thronged
with Allied ships bearing American
made munitions, which submarines
will try to attack-and perhaps on
this side Of the Atlantic. Any day
now the "S-S-S-S!"-the radio flash
which signals the sighting Of q SUBJ
marine-may call the U. 8. navy to
a sinking ship.
The neutrality patrol Is regarded
even in official quarters here as an
experiment albeit an important
one. Already Britain has declined 20
recognize this wide safety belt about
our shores. If the experiment doesn't
work, then the Pan American MAJ
tons will consult together" again,
1t Is reported.
