Box 1545. Salt Lake City. v Miss Brooks: Dear Miss Brocks: w .... have been very interested In your ner and would like, to ask you a zzllngr question.. Is it all right for a boy to take a girl of sixteen to a party, dance or show without a grown-persoalong with them? I remain your true TOOTS of UTAH. friend. No, dear, I unreservedly take the f'stand that it Is not proper for young 'girls of sixteen, (underor over a' few years) to go unohaperoned to any public place of entertainment. While this form of etiquette is not generally observed in our Western states, it is nevertheless a .breach of good form to were more careneglect it. in this respect there woul be less ful 'cause for regret later on, I am quite sure. This is not a precaution , taken because they question the boys and girls' ability or willingness to conduct themselves properly, but is simply ta matter of good breeding, and indicates thought and care on the part of the parents. For illustration, have younot noticed that the little children whose parents seldom trouble themselves about where they are, what they are doing, who they are with, and who are allowed to go about at all hours of the day (and oftentimes night) develop rough ways and manners, unloving and unlovable dispositions, and are treated by everyqgie carelessly and because in the home, whereindifferently the foundation and basis of training and character-building properly begin, there seetns to be indifference, and this radiates to everyone with whom they come in Contact or associate with. This applies to the older child as well. I say this is the general rule, there are exceptions of eourse. There are persons who, no matter what the environment and training is,, or has been, retain the priceless Jewel of rednement and beautv of character through It all, but these are comparatively rare cases. So you see the girl whose friends, know her parents, and the girl herself, take this care and precaution, use the same protection for naturally her when she is in their care. . Dear Miss Brooks: As I am interested in your corner, I was wondering if you could give me the tune to the song, Down by the Silvery' Rio Grande. Wishing you the best of luck, ' LEMONT, Utah. Im afraid I cannot, as I know of no other song which has the same tune. Sorry. We have been your corner for a long time and reading would like you to answer some questions for us. (1) If a boy has taken a girl home three or four times andhe goes back to his home a ' ' Ion a? araiane.' whoa Is It to W rtf ilrmt, the erlrl'a or tbsplaea boy's? What colors would a girl look good (2) in it she has medium brown hair and a dark complexion. What colors a girl look good in if she has would dark brown hair and a light complexion? (3) How should a girl do her hair if she has a long face and quite a lot of hair? How old do you Judge us to be? Thanking you in advance, we remain, TWIN SISTERS, Utah. (1) Always the boy writes first. (2) Orange and yellows, vivid greens, bright reds, light blues and light shades of brown, are usually becoming to a dark complexion; while pinks, lavender shades, rose, blues, browns and black are becoming to one whose skin Is fair. (3) If are girls 14 or 15, as I imagineyou are, there is you no' prettier way to dress your hair than to curl it and comb it softly back from the face, allowing it to puff out tt the sides; bring it together and fasten low at the back of the head with a barette, letting the curled ends hang below. If done nicely this is a very pretty, girlish style. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading your corner, "Between You and Me, so I would like to ask a few questions. (1) I have dark hair and brown eyes, what colors could I wear to Improve my looks? What colors could a girl wear that has yellow hair and blue eyes? (2) How could I fix my hair to improve my looks, as I have sort of an oval face. Wishing you much success, A FRIEND, Lake Point, Utah. (1) See answer to Twin Sisters. (2) Arrangement of the hair depends some- .what on your age, my dear. See answer to Twin Sisters, also, for this, and if your face is oval do not puff the hair at the sides. 'Dear Miss Brooks: I am an interested reader of your Corner, and Wjpuld like to ask a few questions, jftj My finger nails are very brittle and the skin grows too far at the root. Can you tell me the cause? (2) My hair has always been naturally curly. But for quite a time It has had only a kink or two in the back, and the rest remains as cuily as ever? Why is this? "With best wishes, POLLY, Utah. (1) Always file your nails, do not cut them. Purchase some cuticle oil and saturate the nail and cuticle every day. Keep an orangewood stick, rubber-tippehandy, and as often as you wash your hands, gently push the cuticle back at the roots of the nail. (2) I am sure I could not say what has caused the curl to come out of your hair. Have you been dressing or treating it differently of late? Dear Miss Brooks: I have a few questions that I would like to ask you fis I have been reading your corner, Just Between You and Me, and I enjoy it very much. (1) Can you tell me where I could have a national bob made and what it would cost if I furnished the hair? (2) Does it look well for girls of 10 and 17 years of age to wear sport socks? (3) Is it proper for a boy to shake hands with a girl when he leaves her home after escorting her home from a party or dance? Wishing you much success, I remain, BLUE BELLS OF R. H. S., Idaho. (1) If you will send your name I can give you an address where you can have a national bob made from your hair. It will cost about $2.50. (2) When skating, hiking, skiing, etc., yes. (3) It is proper, yes, but a custom not generally followed. n If-pare- i -- d, " I have been very Interested in reading: your corner, "Just Between You and Me," and wish to ask? you a ,few questions. I sure hope you will answer them for me, and' thank you in advance. (1) I have been visiting and have met a real nice young man and have gone steady with him. He sure thinks a lot of me and I do of him. I fell in - love with him from the very first and he djd with me.' The girl he went with before I met him has been away. She has just returned again and is only going to stay a couple of weeks. Last brought her home from the night he dance. - His boy friend told me he loved me. more than he did her. Do you think ho does? During tke whole time we have gone together he has talked of marriage. Night before last he told me he would marry me. Do you think we will ever get married? I love him enough to marry him. If he goes steady with this other girl during her short stay and after she is gone he comes back to me, would you go with him? My folks are all the time telling me they will be giad when I get married. I am 19 now. Do you think it would be best for me to get married and marry the young man I am referring to? Thanking you for your trouble, BLONDE, Utah. Your questions are hard ones to put to anyone, for advising a girl to marry or not to marry is rather a hard proposition, when one is not acquainted with any of the parties. As to whether you will marry him or not, of course rests entirely with you. Are you sure you know what love Is? Why do your parents wish you to get married? It would seem much better to wait a few years more, as you are quite young to marry. It wouldr seem that if this young man thought more of you than anyone else (and he surely should, if he- has asked you to marry him), he would not leave you entirely and spend his time with this, other girl. Now, dear, you will have to decide this question yourself, but T certainly would not advise you to marry anyone. Just to get married. You can marry any time, but after you are once married it is for a long time or should be. -- - Dear Miss Brooks: I read your corner and enjoy it. I think you can help me. (1) I was born in August, what is my birthstone? (2) I have brown hair and eyes, what are my colors? (3) Is it proper to go with more than one boy at once? My parents object. Where is the proper place for girls to learn how to dance? The all go to ward dances, is it girls here proper to go? My parents object. (6) at This fall I met a boy- while a factory. X liked him betterworking than any boy'X ever met. I went out with him a time or two, then one night he came after me, and my parents would not let me go with him because they did not know his parents. I never went with him again. He went down in the southern part of the state where his home is. I cant forget him or find anyone else I like as well. What should I do? BROWN EYES, Utah. (1) The Sardonyx is the birthstone for August. (2) You can wear light blues, rose shades, soft greens, browns and reds. (3) If you are old enough to go with boys at all I should say it was more proper to go with more than one than with just one. It is probably because you are too young that your parents object to boys and dances. If you can take dancing lessons this is the better way. If you cannot do this, ask a friend to come to your home and teach you there. Your parents should, and do, know what is best for you, my dear. They know the circumstances and conditions, I do not. I cannot help but think your parents are right in not wishing you to go with a stranger whom they knew nothing about. There are plenty more, dear, and when you are sC little older, father and mother will be very glad to welcome them to your home, I am sure. . Dear Miss Brooks: I have been very interested in read-iri- g your, corner, Between Me and You. I have found how you have helped others, so now I am going to ask you to help me. (1) I was born in February, what is my lucky month and day, my color? (2) Could you send me the words to the song, Theres a Pretty Spot In Ireland? Wishing you much success, and hoping I may call again, I am, TOPSY, Utah. (1) For one born in February it is said Saturday is a lucky day and April and August the months; colors, blue, pink and nile green. (2) Cannot print1 your song this week, Topsy; perhaps can later. Dear Miss Brooks: This is the first time I have written to you, and I hope I may ask you just one. favor. Could you please find me the poem entitled, The Master is ComI will give you the first two ing? lines, it may help you: They said the master r Is coming to honor the toh today, And none can tell at whose house or home the master will choose to stay Thanking you in advance, I remain, A. B., Idaho. I will do my best, A. B, and send 11 directly to you in your enclosed Essentials of Life. Be true to your wordand your work and your friend. OReilly. THEMES , I - FARM PROBLEM SECTION J Only 6 per cent of the 684,000 hogs handled by Utah ' packing plants last year were produced In Utah, according to statistics given by (A. P. Warnick in the farm problem section. More than 80 per cent of the above number, he said, were shipped from points between Denver and the Mis, , sissippi river. ! One company would buy 125,000 Utah hogs this year if they were obtainable, but they are not. Figures were quoted to show that the. market outlook for the hg industry is more promising than for any other animal Industry. It was shown also that since alfalfa has become the basic food in the modern method of feeding hogs, Utah need take Becond place to no other state in the economical production of pork. THE DAIRY COW ' The dairy cow will produce more pounds .of human food for each 100 pounds of animal food consumed than will any other animal known to man, according to statistical information given out by Professor C, Y. Cannon. To equal the production of a good averag dairy cow, g beef animal would have to gain 22 pounds every day, he asserted. He then went into detail in the matter of showing the dairy producer how to pick a good paying cow by external observation. Dr. W. A. Stephenson of the U. A. C. declared that Utah county is noted all over the United States as a Jersey center. Likewise it is known over the same area for tuberculosis of the skin. Tuberculosis is the greatest problem in the United States, although not yet veryT serious in Utah.i of all death in the human d of all deaths of family and are due to of age people working tuberculosis, Mr. Stephenson said. LIVESTOCK That the livestock business had passed through its worst phase, has been steadily improving for the past year, and would continue to improve, was the encouraging message that John T. Caine III brought to the farmers in his talk Thursday mornOne-seven- th one-thir- ing. The speaker touched on the great expansion of the industry occasioned by the . demands of the war when the United States was the only country from which livestock could be secured, and the slump which followed when the war ended and other countries could ship their accumulated supplies. The result, he ex plained, was a big drop in prices and a great curtailment in the production of all kinds of live stock, but a fair basis had now been reached. He thought the sheep men had np cause for worry; wool will hold around 40c or 45c, lambe at $13 and ewes around $10 will be about the prevailing prices and will afford a -- fair profit. Owing to the drought in the Southwest and financial conditions in Montana the market had been flooded last fall and prices had dropped, but he believed a material Increase in price will come this fall and next year. As to horses, he advised the farmer to dispose of his poor stock and start raising good - geldings for the enlarged demand and higher prices that are certain to come In the immediate future. Utah stands near the top as to the quality of her livestock, but Mr. Caine believes she can do still better. He advised the farmers of a cemmunityto center on one breed and build up their herds by the use of pure-bre- d bulls, and explained that the consumer is desmaller cuts which call for manding a low-sblocky animal which will mature quickly, and hogs from 200 to 250 pounds rather than heavier. In regard to feed he thought nothing was better than alfalfa as a base, with beet pulp as an important addition if it did not have to be hauled more than four miles. Then some ground corn, wheat or barley, depending on the price. Silage is not profitable' when hay is cheap, and dried beef pulp is profitable only for dairy cows making a milk record, according to the speaker. He advised the farmers to watch the market, keep track of prices and visit the stock yards occasionalljpto see the class of stock the market demanded. He believed the farmers would greatly benefit from a cooperative marketing association. WEED CONTROL You can kill out morning-glordeclared Professor George Stewart of the U. A. C. at the conclusion of his address on weed control Thursday morning. Professor Stewart explained that weeds propagated by seds such as sunflower, tumbleweed, foxtail, etc., could be easily controlled by seeing that clean seed is planted, that the land is free from seed, and other sources of contamination like irrigation ditches, manure, etc., do not furnish new supplies. But it is a different story, he said, with weeds propagated by means of roots and root stalks, like white top and esIn Davis pecially morning-glorcounty the farmers were discouraged over the spread of the devils claw, as they designated the morning-glorHe explained by means of a chart and a number 4f jars of roots and tops the result of the experiments made by the Utah agricultural department to eradicate this pernicious et y.

Spraying the weed along the side of the road often enongh to be of any service would be dangerous to stock. The solution is a poison, he explained, made of one part sodium arsenite to 99 parts of water. In answer to a question the speaker said the weed coirid rarely be crowded out by alfalfa. He believed shallow and frequent plowing would also kill out white top, although no experiments in this direction had been undertaken. . It FINE MONUMENTAL WORK weed in that county. The result of the experiment, which was undertaken in Davis county in a badly infected strip of land, was the discovery that the only way to get rid at the weed was shallow and frequent plowing. They had tried different kinds of sprays of varying strength and at different times, but they were ineffective. He recommended plowing "every time the sJ When chaplains unravel Each sweet love affair, Our doughboys will travel With frauleiWso fair.
