Keeping Steady
Company Not
Advised
Chance Of Finding
Better Partner
Is Lessened
Bv vDor0fhvD Dir

Dear Miss Dix: I have been going
steady with q boy for year. We
are both Is. l am very fond Of this
boy, but do not want to 60 steady
with any boy. I want to have
dates with other boys. but my friend
Is 20 jealous he says that if I do he
win Join the merchant marine be-
cause he cannot stand to see me
10 With another boy. What do you
0uggest I do? PUZzLEL GIRL.
AnsWer-Go around with all the
nice boys you can. Look 'em all
over. It IS simply suicidal for a
girl at your age to limit yourself
to one lad and get branded as
Johns girl or Joe's girl.
And If your boy friend joins the
merchant marine, as he threatens
TO do. it viii be . great thing for
him. That Is q fine profession for
. boy to follow, for if he has any
ambition and energy he can work
up TO- being an oficer and I'LL
position that commands respect. It
will give him q chance to see for
eign places. meet many different
people, and get acquainted with
many different types Of girls. and
when the time comes for him to
make . choice he will know whether
you are the one he prefers above
ell others.
do not think that there is any
custom that Is 50 perniciOus as that
of mere boys and girls pairing off
and going with no one else. It keeps
them from ever getting acquainted
with other boys and girls, and per-
haps finding some one who Is much
more congenial to them than the
one they get tied up with when they
were too immature to know what
they wanted in a companion.
For youngsters minds grow and
develop Just as their bodies do, and
the boy and girl who may have
suited each other when they were
II years old may be completely
misf1ts when they are 20. Many
a boy never finds out how enter
tatning and charming girls can be
because he has never gone with any
body but dull Sue, and many girl
thinks all boys are boorish and
stupid because she has never been
associated with anybody but selfish
overbearins Sam.
Half Of the unhappy marriages in
the world are the result of grown
men and women marrying the
"steadies" they picked out before
their tastes were formed.
No girl can do a sillier thing thar
to 20 steady" with q boy until
they are engaged because at any
time he chooses he can walk OF
and leave her when he sees some
other girl he likes better. Anc
he leaves her nat because she hA!
been out of circulation 50 long tha'
she finds 1t very hard to get tnt<
the gotng again.

against plain walls.
There Is . very good preparation
made by one of the cement COM
panies which comes in white only.
It gives the effect of whitewash, but
stays white and does not rub Oh. It
also has excellent covering prop
critics. This you might tint = pale
yellow or other light tone which
would really turn on the sunshine"
In your basement. Then. using .
good cement paint you could paint
the floor . deeper tone Of yellow.
or . warm terra Gotta color and
give plenty Of light and warmth to
the whole room. The use of fabrics
combining these colors with blue
or deep green would be most at
tracttve.
Dear Miss Novel;: As the result
OF using oil heat I find my furni-
ture has 4 dull f1lm over the finish.
Dusting it tends to streak it. Could
you tell me how to wash it? have
walnut veneer, mahogany and maple
pieces In my home.-Mrs. w. r. A.
Answer-You may use warm water
with mild soap If you work with
care, and swiftly, or you may use
warm water. without soap, with two
tablespoons Of turpentine added to
the quart. Wipe over a small area
at a time, removing ali the soil,
then wipe with = cloth moist with
clear water and dry thoroughly and
Immediately. The water must not
be permitted to remain on the finish
any longer than absolutely neces-
sary. When 1t is thoroughly dry,
wipe over the wood with lemon oil
which will feed the surface again,
restoring the color and luster. Wait
until the cool, crisp weather returns
before you try waxing your furni-
ture again.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: am furnishing
q living and dining room which
are separated by archways only and
would like advice Is to fabrics
and colors of upholstery for chairs,
studio couch cover and draperies.
Bath rooms have gray striped wall
paper, cream woodwork, and the
living room rug is Chinese with 4
large center of Chinese red, q border
about 3 or 4 inches of soft blue and
then an 8-inch border OF navy blue.
The rug win set the color scheme
for both rooms. I need q studio
couch cover. q large upholstered
chair and q smaller uphoEtered
chair for the living room. Also 4
small rug for the dining room and
draperies for both rooms. The din
ing room chairs will have colored
seat covers and shall use two
Of them In my living room as wall
chairs. The furniture will be period
furniture to go with the Duncan
Phyfe pieces In the dining room.
@ z. A. AcC.
Answer-Ffrst OF al would re-
peat the Chinese red In 4 plain. rug
for your small dining room. It is q
lovely color and will tie the two
rooms together. For the seats of
the dining chairs use your lovely
middle blue that Is repeated in the
border Of your living room rug.
Place sheer rayon tailored curtains
straight to the floor 1T al windows.
I would suggest a patterned fabric
for the draperies In the dining room
combining the blue and red ON a
white or cream ground. which would
be repeated for the cushions On the
studio couch In the living room and
possibly q q cover for the small
chair. Just q swag Of the Chinese
red for the valance over the living
room windows would be al that is
necessary there. Try deep blue or
the wall gray for the cover on the
couch, and the middle blue for the
other upholstered chair.

Navy Rewards A Men
FOR Suggestions 10
Improve Efficiency
Bureau Of Medicine
EmpIoye, Two at
Yurd Honored

The Navy announced today the
names of four men who have been
rewarded with cash and promotions
for making suggestions that led to
more efficient methods of operation in
the far-f1ung Navy. including saw
| ing in construction at the Washing
ton Navy Yard and another saving
in building the recently launched
battleship Iowa.
The men, rewarded as a part of
the Navy's campaign to eliminate
unnecessary paper work and speed
industrial effort, are E. G.. Purdy,
employe of the Bureau of Medicine
and Surgery; George E. Herbert and
Victory E. Biber, both of the Wash
ington Navy Yard, and William G..
Campbell, employe of the New York
Navy Yard.
Mr.. Purdy received $500, promo
tion in grade yielding him 500
year and a letter of commentator
from Assistant Secretary Ralph A.
Bard for his suggestion to transfer
number OF typists to other Offices
and to use short cuts to eliminate
night work His suggestion. the
Navy said, expedited the handling
OF the work in this division by at
least so per cent and on an annual
basis will result in the saving of
approximately 100000 sheets of
paper" The Navy added that his
ideas would result in a saving of
47,424 man-hours year.
Mr.. Herbert and Mr.. Biber COL
laborated. in suggesting technical
construction changes at the Wash
lngton Navy Yard The Committee
on Awards found that their sug-
gestion resulted in total saving of
ss,377.60 on job order.
Mr.. Campbell, employed in the
sheet metal section at the BROOKLYN
Navy Yard, devised a method of in
stalling sheathing with a quilting
drill. This drill is tool for making
holes in sheathing where the Quilt
ing bolt method of attachment is
used. and according to Navy esti-
mates, resulted in saving of $4,000
IN building the battleship Iowa.
The Awards Committee reported
that the method can be used to
effect comparable savings In future
constructions
