There is one who is q years old.
He seems to like me a lot, and
like him very much. Do you think
I should give him dates? He does
not act much older than the other
boys I 60 around with. I am 16,
and most of my friends are of about
the same age" Ell.
A 23-year-o]d boy seems a little
old for you. But as long as you are
also dating boys who are closer to
your own age at the same time, we
can't see any serious objection to
your going with him occasionally.
The boys fundamental character
and his congeniality with you are
more important than his age. And
teen-age girl is often far better of
with an older boy, who is likely to
have strong protective instinct to-
ward her, than with a sprout who
is just feeling his oats and who
fancies himself as a sort of Junior
Don Juan.
But it depends on the boy. His
attitude toward you is the best

not he is right guy" no matter
what his age.
DEAR KAY AND ALDEN:
Il wish you would write some
thing in your column on the best
way to reject a date"
KATHRYN S."
If you have a good excuse, use it.
If not. merely say. I'm sorry, but
I'm afraid I won't be able to co."
or something similar.
Sometimes the boy will become
persistent enough to annoy you.
You may then have to be politely
firm, but there is no reason why
you should have to make any ex-
planation if you'd rather not go out
with him.
If he's at all sensitive, he'll get
the idea and stop both ering you.
II he's thick-skinned enough to
keep asking in the face of the un-

explained refusal, then you don't
need to worry much about hurting
his feelinggs. They won't brlise
that easily!
There's no sense in inventing
eisborate and fictitious excuses for
rejecting the date. If they are
convincing, you are simply post
poning the problem, meanwhile
tangIing, yourself in web of white
lies. If they aren't, he'll realize
that you are giving him the WELL
known run-around, and be more re-
sentful than if you had frankly
declined the invitation without an
explanation.

Another Failure

AdviccS from Mexico are that
problems are multiplying in that
country as the result the govern
ment'S fling in the field Of commun-
ism in industry and agriculture, and
fears resulting from the unsettled
and uncertain political situation have
slowed down business volume. Be-
, cause of difficulties encountered in
government control of the eXpropri-
ated oil industry, it has become nee
eSSary to cut wages and inauguratc
an economy system that has an
gered the workers.
President Cardcnas. whose idea it
was to grab the oil business devcl-
oped and owned by foreign capital,
has told the workers drastic action
was necessary because this and the
national railways, the other Of two
SUciaiiZCd industries, was financial
ly in the red and was being operated
inefficicnlly. A $l4,000,000 deficit
has accumulated in % months Of
operation of the oil industry; and
that is rather important money for
nation whose annual budget is only
S9O,00O,000. At that, however, il is
not half as bad as the United States
budget shortage, which has not been
accumulated in % months but every
year for Il decade.
Critics say CardenaS has nearly
wrecked the country with his CON-
muniStic schemes, and that the only
way for the government TO rccuperate
is for an extremely conservative
regime TO take over. Both the ad-
ADMINISTRATION candidate and his OPP
ponent in the recent national cleo
ton. each Of whom is claiming
victory. with nothing definite after
more than d month has elapsed, are
said to be conservative. One or the
other is supposed to take over the
national administration December |.
Labor troubles discouraged opera
ton and new investments by private
capital in the banana industry, once
important. THAT is now fairly well
on the rocks. with plant disease
threatening to eNterminate the crop,
and no money in sight to fight para
sites.
Mining and agriculture in Mexico
are also in the doldrums and general
business is quiet. Political violence
is feared because of the dispute over
outcome of the election.
Thus communism wins another
victory in its failure to improve the
lot of the masses whom il processes
to favor. II is that way in Russia,
except that the iron hand of Dictator
Stain keeps the people in subsection
and supprcsses all knowledge to the
outside Of what actual conditions are.
II will be 50 in Mexico if continued,
as we'll as anywhere else the system
is attempted.

Passing the Hat

From Senator Hatch himself, prom
inent Senate Democrat, comes the
most telling criticism yet Of the &C
ton of the Democratic National
Committee in selling advertising III
a campaign handbook. The New
Mexican Solon. author Of the Hatch
act prohibiting Federal office hold
erS from engaging in political acttr-
tiles. charged his own party with
evading the law and demanded that
il abandon the publication.
Hatch has admoniShed the Demo-
Gratis. as ne previously had the Re-
publican>. to obey the spirit as well
as the letter Of the law But Ma
tionaI Chairman Flynn counters with
the claim that the advertising was
contracted for before the acts pas
sage and that no paid space is now
being sold.
Advertisements in the publication
are, of course. hardly worth the
space they occupy, from the stand
point of business getterS. We have
not seen one of the books and know
NE identity OF none of the adver-
tiSerS. but would guess that some Of
the very concerns that have been
sucked in on the scheme are among
those that have at one time or an
other been under fire for operating
contrary TO the ideals of the sopho
more brain trust bureaucratS who
have all too much sway in the con-
duct OF the Federal government,
and know little of the practical side
Of what they are doing nor OF the
business Of the concerns that have
drawn their ire. In other words,
these concerns are the wild beasts
and poison ladders Of the national
economic structure ard should be
bounded and prosecuted, but their
money is legitimate and acceptable
when tossed into campaign chest.
We suspect. too, there is. or was,
no little of intimidation or hints Of
one kind or another in the soliciting,
even if it has already been done. and
that many d dollar was laid on the
barrelhead in the hope of g.tting on
the good side of the peeWees who
more or less exercise the power of
life and death over certain types OF
businesses.
Some Federal agencies have gone
out of their way to Slur at the value
of advertising in business r:onotinn
yet it is all hunkadory when The
space is used in campaign docu-
ment.
The whole scheme is hardly more
than a passing Of the hat, with {
sense of fear, we suspect, on the par
of those solicited that they may face
hard shedding somewhere along tn
line if they refuse and turn down The
national committee statesmen.
Senator Hatch is author of thu
bill that bears his name and he o
all people ought to know Whethe
the campaign publication violates
the law. And his criticism has beer
among the most vigorous we have
seen.
