ways danger of their getting out
Of hand and starting a confagra-
tion that ends in a fatel catas-
trophe.
But 1t must be said in justice
to the youthful philanderers that
they mean no harm. 1t is just a
game with them. Virtually part
of the conversational repertoire of
every boy is to call every girl he
meets beautiful" He asks her
where she has been all his life
that he has never met her before;
tells her that she Is the most
wonderful creature he has ever
seen, that he never loved before,
and so on and so forth.
And he doesn't expect the girl
to take 1t seriously. He thinks
she knows enough of boys to take
his WOO at its true value, which
is nothing more than pleasant
patter to pass an evening, with
no harm done to any one and no
hearts hurt.
He tried to let her down as
easily as he could by not writing
to her and by sending her letters
back unopened. But she was so
obsessed by love and SO ignorant
OF the ways of men with women,
that she would not believe the
truth. And now she is going to
drag her pride still further in the
dust by going to beg him for his
love.
1t is all terribly sad and we
could weep tears of pity over the
poor foolish child, for a girl loves
SO passionately at 20 and she is
SO certain that her life is blasted
If her love is unrequited and be-
lieves that she will never care for
any one again, but there is balm
in Gilead.
She recovers from her first love
laugh at it. Then she is older and
wiser and has herself learned to
play the make-believe love game,
some honest lad comes along who
means what he says when he tells
her she Is the only woman In the
world for him, and she marries
him. DOROTHY DIX.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Girl Afflicted With First Love
Requires Careful Guidance

Dear Dorothy Dix-While attend
ing school in large city last winter
my daughter, 20 years of age, met
a young man nine years her senior
with whom she fell violently in love.
In the period of three short weeks
she became engaged to him. He
returned to his home and she heard
from him only occasionally for a
while. Then she did not hear and
her letters were returned unopened.
She is business girl and makes her
own money and she is planning a
long, expensive trip to his home to
find him. I have tried every means
within my power to show her that
the man cares nothing for her, but
the more say the more determined
she seems to contact him. am
almost distracted, as I hate to see
her ruin her whole life on one whom
she knows so little. Is there any
thing I can do?
A DISTRACTED MOTHER.
Answer-The only thing you can
do is quit opposing her, for every
word you say just strengthens her
in her determination to show you
and alienates her from you at a
time when she most needs your love
and sympathy.
Stop preaching reason to her, for
1t is useless. When a girl Is crazy
about boy she is just as much out
Of her senses as any lunatic locked
up in an asylum.
In reality. the very best thing
that she can do is to go to this
mans home town and find out for
herself how hopeless her passion
Is. She must be convinced beyond
all possibility of doubt that he
does not care a thing for her; that
he never did love her and that he
was just amusing himself by fiirt-
ing with her. If the humiliation
Of finding out that she was duped
and of realizing what a fool she
has made of herself by pursuing
him doesn't cure her, nothing else
will.
OF course, fiirtations are play
ing With IRE because there Is Al

 Chinese authorities across the Burma frontier announced that they had taken adequate and forceful measures to protect the entire high way, extending from Burma into China's southwestern province of Yunnan, against bombing raids.
 "The trucks must go on," gov- ernment spokesman said.
 (At Hanoi, Indo-China, Capt. K. Chudo, commanding the Japanese naval mission, told the United Press that Japanese planes would bomb the Chinese part of the road sart- in6 tomorrow if weather permitted.)
 The Burma road had become a symbol. Closed in July at Japan's demand, 1t was reopened by Great Britain, effective tonight, after the conclusion ot Japanese German Italian military alliance considered to be aimed against Great Britain, the United States and China.
 Among the 100000 tons of goods awaiting the zero hour here for shipment to China, Japanese manu- factured-goods, sent by Japanese in- dustrialists. will be in the vanguard. Throughout the se-Japanese war, Japanese business men have conducted substantial trade with unoccupied China. Goods, bearing Chinese u q e marks, have been sent often via Shanghai.
 Behind the 10000 tons of goods here were 300O0O tons at Rangoon. awaiting railroad shipment to the raj terminus here.
 As the hour for the opening ap- preached, a spy scare swept 1t for hundreds of miles.
 It was feared that Japanese agents would find means of cotnmunicating movement of important cargoes to Japanese baseS in Indo- China and thath great formations of Japanese planes would be sent to blast them from the road.
