seen in a book just published by
Clarice M. Bowman on Spirit

public library should have it.
Miss Bowman defines spiritual

There are. special camps for

help to many parents. You can
get details about them from the
National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, IL S. La
Sale street, Chicago. 8. Family
camps run by various churches
are another important develop
ment in late years. Ask your
own church about these.
But for most parents the camp
is a place where the children
get experience living away from
home-and every child needs
this experience. Whether they
are conducted by some youth
organization at $40 a week, OF
commercially at several hundred
dollars for the season, they are
a wonderful contribution to
family life. If you can possibly
give your child this experience,
do so this year.

plenty Of reasons for heartily
indorsing the general idea OF

good, under right circumstances.
Mrs. L. wants to know what I
think on this score. so here 1t
is:
It's hard to find a youngSter
who cannot benefit by such ex-

There are more than 10000

DEAR MISS NISSEN: How
does one go about winning a
man? I've read many articles on
the subject and have put every
bit of advice to the test. but to
no avail. I'm % and desperately
in love with man bit older.
We've been going out together
for seven months-but still no
proposal. I'm a good listener, in
terested in everything my boy
friend does; I praise him, COM
pliment him, tell him how much
I appreciate him and how lucky
am to have him. Yet, he says
I'm all wrapped up in myself.
Kitty.
ANSWER: Your young man
sounds like an insufferable con-
ceited, selfish creature. He'll ac-
cept all the adulation you'll give
him: apparently he's already
gotten quite a bit. He's just not
for you, Kitty, and. desperate
though you may be, you'd better
give him up before he beats you
to it.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: A young
friend of mine is an unmarried
mother. Her baby is to be chris
tened and she was told that
since she isn't married only the
godparents can hold the child.
Is this correct?
ANSWER: The godparents hold
the baby at any christening re-
gardless of the mothers marital
status. so the situation is no re-

Parental
Ban on
Friends
By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I have
so many troubles and urgently
need someone to talk to; but
there's no one to listen. I feel
all alone in the world. I never
really wanted to do anything
wrong, but at 16 I seem to have
made so many mistakes I doubt
if I'll ever straighten out.
1 have always wanted friends.
but my folks didn't understand
that, and thought I should be
content to remain at home as
Mommy'S little girl. I have two
older brothers and one younger
sister. All through grade school
I was so bashful none of the
other kids would ever be friendly.
When I got to high school, /
found the boys and girls entirely
different. They tried to make
friends with me, but whenever I
thought I had a pal, Nom
wouldn't let me bring her home.
Then I began to sneak QUITO
make excuses and go out with
the gang after school.
Unfortunately, I got in with
the wrong crowd, and soon be-
gan to smoke and drink so J
could keep up with them. 1t
didn't take me too long to realize
that this wasn't what I wanted.
I wanted a best friend" to
whom I could confide all my
dreams, and other friends with
whom to dance, skate, bowl and
talk. That is what my parents
denied me, though they gave ME
everything else I wanted. Now,
what can do? see now where
I was wrong, but how can I live
the normal life of a teen-ager
when my own parents are
against it? :.
Evelyn.
ANSWER: You have been
given the grace to know and ac-
knowledge your wrongdoing, and
to realize that it certainly didn't
improve your life. Your conduct
should become part of past
that never will be resurrected.
From early childhood on,
everyone wants friends. For
parents to deny the blessing OF
companionship to their chll1ren
is a grave mistake. Friendships
should be encouraged; the girl OF
boy who makes friends easily
has been blessed with a gift that
should never be abused.
Since your parents are appar-
emily adamant to your argu-
ments regarding your social
needs, try enlisting the help Of
an older person. Your own
brothers should be of some as
sistance. Ask them to intercede
for you. A schoolteacher. or
Sunday schoolteacher also may
have enough influence to change
your parents attitude. The
mother of one of your school
friends might know your mother
well enough to bring tactful at
tention to your plight. Don't
hesitate to ask any of these older
people for help; if your own

The investigative and surveil-

while it has happened" Mr..
Dillon says, cts almost impos-
sible for a person to disappear
completely while alive. Invari-
ably. a lost person will write or
telephone to someone. He will
drop hint in conversations on
his true identity or he'll forget
to erase initials from a hat band
or piece of luggage. That's all
we need to pick up a trail"
In their effort to streamline
and clean up the private detec-
tive business. agencies are going
all out in selecting their opera
tives. While police experience is
valuable, many of the best men
are recruited from military vet
Grams who served in intelligence
sections. Mr.. Dillon and Leon
ard HARRISON, Mr.. Furr'S part
ner, are in that category.
Police Cooperate.
In the past private detectives
encountered much resistance
and enmity from police depart
ments. largely because of their
activity IN shopping" on di-
vorce cases and other off-color
work. However. Washington po-
lice are sympathetic to the pri-
vate eye in most cases and are
doing everything possible to help
make the business a reputable
venture. Officials have proposed
a District regulation to tighten
the requirements for private de-
tectives here and while it has
been pigeon-holed at the Dis
trict Building most detective
agencies would like to see it be-
come effective.
If you've been puzzled by the
term private eye it can be at
tributed to old Allan Pinkerton,
who started it in 1888. In that
year he adopted as his trade
mark an eye carrying the slogan.
I'VE Never Sleep" The idea,
legend has it, was inspired by
Mr.. Pinkerton's dog Argus, an
excellent watchdog which never
seemed to sleep.

vate investigator today what he
thinks of the appelation after a
long stretch on surveillance

(PHvote Detective Assuming
IA Vital Role in Biz Business

LIllS country curing the last CEN
tury established a private detec-
tive agency in Chicago in 1850.
He and his men were used as
strike breakers during the labor
unrest Of that period and even
today. many company detectives
are called THE Pinks" by old
timers.
In 1861. however, Mr.. Pinker-
ton gave up most Of this work
and organized the secret service
division Of the Army. He be-
came its first chief and in that
same year uncovered a plot to
assassinate President Lincoln on
his way to Washington for his
Inauguration. Mr.. Pinkerton de-
voted much Of his time after the
Civil War to the rising tide Of
bank and express robberies.
After a successful career in that
field, he returned to strike break
ing during the big railroad
walkouts Of 1877.
Modern private detectives
frankly admit that their business
history isn't pretty. but they're
working day and night to
rectify it.
A major phase Of their opera
ton today is centered on nom
criminal but costly activity A
few months ago, a Washington
furniture dealer was losing vast
sums in Cancelled orders and
''lost" merchandise. Shipments
from his warehouse to customers
were delayed. misdirected and
damaged. Irate customers were
taking their business elsewhere.
The firms officials suspected
criminal activity or at least
sabotage as many pieces of
furniture disappeared without
a trace.
Operative Assigned.
Private detectives were called
and the agency planted" an
operative among the workers.
Within a few days. the investi-
gators reports discounted the
suspicion Of sabotage or crime.
based on conversations with
other employees and his own OBJ
servations.
The "op" suddenly quit his
warehouse job and few days
later was replaced by another
"plant"-this time an efficiency
expert employed by the detec-
tive agency. AS the new agents
reports built up. the firms man
ager quickly found the trouble.
Inefficiency in handling the
big warehouse was certain. Mer-
chandise had been stored i'm
properly for quick delivery. In
coming shipments had been
stacked without proper records
of receipt. thereby resulting in
lost" items. Corridors were
cluttered with crates and debris.
forcing employees to clear a path
each time a piece of furniture
was wheeled through. These
and dozens of other details on
a poor housekeeping job were
spotted by the private eye.
The warehouse supervisor was
shifted to another job and with
in a few weeks, his successor had
business back to normal.
This type of undercover work
often forces detective to lose
his identity, even to his family
and neighbors. His livelihood
and sometimes personal safety
depends on anonymity. He
can't afford to have his children

vate eye" or to suddenly be

These men never carry weap-

him with another plant"

neighbor-the friendly real es-
tate salesn1an"-in reality may
be a modern private eye" The
elderly insurance man" who's
lived around the corner for sew
eral years might be a private de-
tective. too.
In many cases the families and
close friends Of these men are
unaware Of their actual occupa-
ton.
The private detective. an he
roic institution in mystery thrill
ers since Sherlock Holmes
sleuthed his way into literary
history. is rapidly assuming a
vital role in big business. De-
tective agencies themselves sell
dom reach the million dollar
business class but their activities
are saving untold millions for
large and small merchants and
manufacturers.
Need for Specialists.
Their work ranges from crime
prevention service" to undercover
investigation that often involves
engineers, accountants and eff
f1clency experts.
They tackle anything from
petty larceny in a small restau-
rant to subverSive activity in
large industrial plants. The
modern private eye, or opera
tive" as he's known in the bust
ness, bears little resemblance to
the old movie version of a de-
tective: a beetle-browed. cigar
chewing character who never re-
moved his hard hat and who
constantly leered around corners
at his suspects.
And. neither Is he q suave,
tough = talking, pistol packing
ladykiller who finds q dead
body" in every closet and q
slinky. glamorous blond in every
living room. The detective agen-
cies unanimously agree that any
glamour is accidental and that
hard work Is routine.
Widespread Cleanup.
Since the end of World War II
private detective agencies have
experienced a sort Of moral and
intellectual revolution. Faced
with a double stigma that began
more than a century ago. they've
fought an uphill battle to erase
any doubt as to their integrity
and ability. Few, if any, of the
large agencies will touch divorce
cases. favorite sport of the old
time detective. Most agency su-
pervisorS are aware of the tend
ency on the part of operatives
to manufacture" evidence for a
better fee and to them the slight
est suspicion of falsehood ruins
an operative for further use.

I'VE can't afford to play

says. If an operatives report
is used in court testimony and
later is proved false. ne never
can testify again. Therefore

Mr.. FUR once fired an opera
