B., Richfield, Ida. Place your knife on the left aid because it would be extremely awk-ward for a left-hand- person to have his knife on the right hand, Just aa it would be to reverse the situation with a right handed person. There seems to be some question In regard to which is the proper posi-tion for a young man to take when walking with two girls. Several good authorities claim that he should walk on the side where he can best pro-tect the girls, but I find the prepond-erance of opinion is that he should walk between the girls, where he can protect them equally; so I think I shall reverse my opinion which I have heretofore given and say that a man, should always walk between twrt girls and not at the side of one oj !hem. This seems to be the te ruling. ' Simply say that you do not care t go to the party or whatever affair it may be. Your friend will donbtles understand and not persist in hia at-tentions. Dear Miss Brooks: I've been very interested in yeu comer (Between Youi and Me.) I, have two questions which have been puzzling me for some time. Here! hoping you can help mo out. First, Is it prooer for a girl 17 years old to go with a boy the same age? Sec-ond, I had a severe cold about three weeks ago, which settled in my ears, leaving me hard of hearing. Both my eXrs feel like they are closing up. What would you advise me to do for them. Thanking you in advance, I am, AN INQUIRER from Utah. The fact that the boy is the same age as the girl does not make it Im-proper for them to go together. As for the ears you should con-sult a physician, or better still a spe-cialist, if the condition continue. I IL. cannot advise as to the physical health of mv readers. . Dear Miss Brooks: When a youns man thanks a ladr for a dance should she say anything? L. H., Spanish Fork. It is rot necessary for a lady to say anything when a man thanks her for a danr rl'hongh it would hot be 'tnprnper for her to say she had en-joyed the dance. Dear Miss Brooks: I read your list in the paper every Friday night so thought I would come to you for help. Can you give me ten reasons why columbine should be a national flower? WAITING, Manti, Utah. I do not know as you would exact-ly eay the following were reasons why the columbine should be a na-tional flower, but they are reasons for recommending its cultivation. It Is among the most beautiful and popular of. all hardy plants; it can be used to advantage in half shady places; there are thirty different var-ieties; it docs well in almost all cli-mates; for its profusion of showy blossoms; for Its delicate foliage; its graceful form of blossoms; its rich variation of colors and last but not least it is beautiful, for rockeries. I hope this will help you though I find I have given only nine reasons. Perhaps you can furnish the tenth. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading your corner and as you have helped others I thought may be you could answer my questions. When walking along with a boy i9 it proper for the girl to take the boy's arm, or the boy to take the girl's arm? Also, when two girls are walking with one boy should the boy walk between the two girls? When an engaged girl is embroider-ing her linen should she put her ini-tials as they now are, or as they will be after she is married? Thanking you sincerely, I am, yours truly, LUCILE, Cove, Ore. A girl should always take a boy's arm, never the reverse. A boy should never walk between two girls, but on the side which will afford them the greatest protection from obstacles and danger. The initials of a girl's maiden name should always be used in pre-paring her trousseau. Dear Miss Brooks: Would you please answer this ques-tion which I have been trying to get for sometime. I would like to have tho address of one or more film pro-ducers. Thanking you for your trou-ble, I shall be your friend, HELEN S., Utah. I am not Just sure whether you wish the addresses of film producers or motion picture producers. Line East-man Kodak Company, whose address is Rochester, New York, are producers of most of the films used. LThe Uni-versal Film Corporation, 1600 Broad-way, New York City; the Metro Pictures Corporation, 1540 Broadway, New York City, and the Vitagraph Cs Inc., 469 Fifth Ave, New York City, are all big producers of motion pictures. Dear Miss Brooks: I hope that I will be welcome to join your cozy corner. I have a ques- tion to ask you. Do you know of a good play about fourteen girls could play in? Their ages are about twelve to fourteen. If so, is there posible way to get, it?

Maybe you've heard a story like this before. Accom-panied by three detectives from police headquarters here und a fourth from the Atlantic City police department Louis Remner, a wholesale and retail millinery denier of 382 Grand street, started a search here for wire tappers who had taken $20,000 from him at Atlantic City. Remner went to Atlantic City re-cently for a short vacation and stayed at one of the bench hotels. He met a man casually on the Boardwalk, nnd the talk turned to horse racing and betting. Finding that Remner was interested In racing, the mun snld he could take him to n house In South Connecticut avenue, Atlantic City, where large winnings could be made on the races. Finally he bet $20,000 on a certain horse, and was Informed that. he had won $100,000 on the tnce. The "brok-ers,-" who had their "office" fitted up with all the paraphernalia of a stock broker's office, seemed downcast at their heavy loss. They told Remner that before they could consent to pay over the money Remner would have to show them that he was not bluftlng and that he could really pay over $20,000 In cash. He had given them an I. O. U. for the amount when the bet was placed. Remner consented to this arrange-ment and came to this city to get the $20,000 from his bank. When he ar-rived at Atlantic City he was met at the railroad station by a member of the gang, and they went to the "office" in South Connecticut avenue. Remner there lost his money In some mysteri-ous manner and failed to collect the $100,000 due him on nls bet. "Into the Jaws of Death" and Out away the guns. French cavalry Is on your left."

Mr. Cutting believes he Is among the last, if not the last, of the men who were Immortalized by Tennyson, He vividly recalls the charge. He disagrees with history as to the num-ber who returned. He says there were only sis. After the Crimean war Mr. Cutting went to India with the Iiiltlsh troops nnd passed through the mutiny. Ha marched from Delhi to Lucknow and fought In that famous siege. Once ho wns wounded, lie passed through Egypt nnd was In active service In South Africa In 1857.

Ellis Cutting of this city rmle Into the valley of deuth with the Immortal COO. Sit-ting at his home here this man, who rode "Into the Jaws of death.

He saw Captain Nolan, suave young p of the Brit-ish commander, Lor I Uaglan, dash np and hand Lord Lucan, cavalry com-mander, a note. History says It con-- 1 talued these terse orders: "Lord Ilnglun wishes the cavalry to advance rapidly to the front ami try to prevent the enemy from carrying Caacara Bark. The supply of cascura bark Is lim-ited. Although barberry trees are found In California, Oregon and other states, they are not as nnmerous as In Washington. The supply there la being rapidly depleted, each year the gatherers going further Into tho wampy depths of the forests. The bark renews itself In time, but the second growth is not as desirable as the old and contains less pungent medicinal sup. Many kinds of medicines, flavors and drugs are made from the bar-berry bark and It Is used around the world. ENGLISH FAKER HAD GENIUS ( More Than a Century and a Half Ago He Made Big Money With His "Celestial Bed." One of the most brazen fakers In history was Doctor Graham, who, in 1779, opened a "Temple of Health" In London. He had recently come from America and had soraewhore picked up an eictneatary knowledge of elec-tricity, or at least Us terminology. He had at his temple a "celestial bed" which, If a sick person slept In It, was advertised to be a sure cure. This wonder-workin- g piece o' fur-niture was made by one Denton, on Doctor Graham's order. It was beau-tifully carved, covered with silk dam-ask, supported by 28 glass pillars, and surmounted by a richly carved and gilt canopy from which crimson cur-tains with fringe and tassel were sus-pended. In his advertisement be claimed: "This bed Is niagnetleo-electrl- c. In a neighboring closet is placed a cylinder by which I communicate celestial fire to the bedchamber, that fluid which animates and vivifies all." He charged admission to see the bed. To sleep in It cost 50 ($2r0). Later the rate wus reduced to 25 ($125). Graham was a skillful stage-manag- and mud') a lot of money with his '.'celestial bed." "Seventh Crusade." If you were on the Mount of Olives today, or along the shores of the Jor-dan, you might hear the whirl of the propeller as the plane from Jerusalem hops off on Its regular flight to the northward, with mall and passengers.
