The situation points clearly to a dissolution of the Italian socialist structure and a movement toward new foundations. Even more important than the actual fact of the socialist rout is the manner in which it was brought about. A resort to armed force by the bourgeoisie produced the debacle; not the armed force of the government, but the force which the bourgeoisie created of itself and for itself in the Fascist!. In short, armed bourgeoisie, a phenomenon novel to modern democracy, is Italys most recent and special contribution to the science of class war.

(2) Is white vaseline the same as common vaseline, if it isn't where can we get it and what is the price of it? (3) Is there any harm for a girl of fourteen to go with a boy sixteen ? - Thanking you in advance, I am, BROWN EYES, Castle Dale, Utah.

J Dear Madam : Would you please to write for me the words to the song The Shiek. (If not, all, just the chorus?) How tall and of what weight should a girl be at the ages of sixteen, seventeen and eighteen years told ? Thanking you in ad vance, I am your friend, . TOOTS, Utah. We welcome you, Toots. Sorry we cannot print your song, but as it can be had in the music stores we cannot do it. The average height of a girl at sixteen is 5 ft. 1 in., weight 112 pounds; at seventeen, 6 ft. 2 in., weight 118 pounds; eighteen, 5 ft. 2 in., weight 122 pounds. ' . . , . - execution of drastic reprisals against any attempt "' to revolt-The centers of Strike activity were Genoa, Milan, Parma, Livorno, Ancona and Ravenna. Forty-eighours after the strike was called Turati realized he was licked. To save as much as he could from the ruins, Turati rushed tc Facta and offered to call the strike off If Facta would promise that the government would take the strikers back. Facta gave the socialists the required assup ance. On the following day August 3 the, Labor federation called upon the strikers to return to their posts, announcing that the proletariat had achieved Its object. But If the socialists were through the Fasclstl , were not. They had a definite program - to and they proceeded to complete it. In Milan they drove thes socialist administration out of power and took possession of the Palazzo Mar rino. On the following day they attacked the Avanti, the leading socialist newspaper in Italy, put the editors to flight and set fire to the plant. In Genoa they suppressed the publication of the Lavoro and marched in force upon the Palace of San Giorgio, where the socialist consortium of the port was located. . The : Fascistl demanded the surrender of the consortium, and when surrender was refused they seized It by force. In Ravenna they seized and suppressed the elaborate organization which has served as a model of socialist cooperative development for students from all parts of the world. In Ancona they destroyed the printing plant of the socialist', organ La Difesa and set fire to the headquarters of all the principal labor organizations, including the Federation of Railway Workers, the Society of Soviets and the Chamber of Labor, hey marched into Parma 6,000 strong and took possession of the city. They destroyed the printing plant of the Piccolo and disrupted the unions.

' A with boys girl should not go car-ridiat night unless attended by older persons. II a hoy does not end his call or leave at a reasonable hour, the girl should tell him she does not make a practice of staying up later than a certain hour. It is always quite proper for a girl to ask a young man to call again if he is sits ply calling on her at her home, but not if he has escorted her to some placfe of amusement. The young man should thank her for attending the dance or party with him and he young lady should express herself as havIf the young man ing enjoyed the evening. wishes to return he will ask to do so, without a special invitation.

(1) I like to play baseball and other games and the boys at our school play them so I play with the boys when I feel like it. I also have a very dear friend going to school with me and she does not like to play these games. Is it proper for me to ploy with the boys when they let me and when by girl friend is watching us and does not want to play? (2) Is it right to dance with one boy three or four times at the same dance if he asks me? Now 1 hope I am welcome and that you will be able to give me tome good advice. 1 am, BLUE EYES, Wyoming. (1) I think it perfectly proper for you to play baseball and other games, but never forget that you should, and can at all times and all placet act la a girlish and ladylike manner. It is your girl friend's pleasure and privilege te do aa she wishes in matters of this kind, and she should allow her friends the same privilege. (2) It is never proper or good fonn to dance too many times with one person. Blue Eyes. Dear Miss Brooks; I have written to you before, and as you answered my letter I will write again. Here are my questions: (1) If a bey and gri are going together and this girl and another are going down the street and they meet a boy one girl is going with, should the other gtrl leave? If so, what should she say before she leaves? (2) If a boy goes with one girl one night and then goes with another the next night, what should the first girl do, quit o go on? (3) When a boy takes you home should be take you to the gate or to the door, if the house Is some ways from the yard gate? Thanking you, I remain, yours, MARIE, Idaho. Let the boy Why, my dear Marie, no. walk home with both of you. Surely you can Don't you think so? till enjoy being together. The more the merrier, you know. It is never quite proper for any couple, even though en that they shun gaged, to be so exclusive their friends. (2) This is the boy's privilege,' and if he is a pleasant, agreeable young man why should the girl object to him showing attention to more than one? A girl has no right to think that simply because a boy showa her some attention he should confine himself exclusively to her. (3) The young man should always escort you to your dbor. I am reserving your envelope for another time, when your questions require a personal answer. Dear Madam: I have found lots of helpful articles in your corner, and wish you would answer. a few questions for me. (1) & Zane Grey a man or woman? (2) Which is correct (when eating in cafe) eating with hat on or off? .Wishing you the most success, I remain as ever, ' WILD AND WOLLEY, Downey, Ida. I an indeed glad to know you have found my corner helpful. Zane Grey is a man. A gentleman should always remove his hat upon entering a cafe or restaurant. A lady does not remove her hat. Dear Miss Brooks: You have answered many others so 1 thought you could give me some advice. I am a girl of sixteen and have been married nearly a year, but now my husband doesn't seem to care to go out with me. What shall I do? Thanking you in advance. Yours truly, WONDERING, Wyoming. There b really only one thing to do dear-n- ow. Made the very best of the situation and bravely go about to locate just why he doesnt seem to care to take you out. You really must, my dear girl. Now is the testing time, and if you can adjust the seeming trouble now, you can batter manage the various difficulties as they come along. You are very young and perhaps you imagine a great many things are not as they should be, aa many young wives do. Perhaps you have been a little careless about your appearance and general conduct now have you? If so you can immediately change this. Be your own sweet self in every way as before you were married, and the first thing you know your husband will be the same lover as of old. Now, my dear, don't nag and accuse him of not caring for you any more this is the very worst thing you can do. Just be a brave little woman and know that he Is proud of you and does want to take you out the same as he always did. Write to me and send your name, as you are requested to do at head of column, and perhaps I can be of some help to you again. My heart and soul are with the very young wife and husband. A.

The innocent one began crying just then, Ae though its poor heart would break. One angry man said, Make that child otop its noise For its keeping all of us awake. Put it out, said another, dont keep H to here. Weve paid for our berths and want rest. But never a word said the man with the child. As he folded it close to his breast, Where is its monther T Go take It to her, This a lady then softly said, I wish that I could," was the mans sad reply, But ehe's dead. In the eoaeh ahead. : Chorus: , While the train rolled onward, A husband sat in tears. Thinking of the happiness Of just a few short years. For baby face bring pictures Of a cherished hope thats dead But baby cries can't waken her In the baggage coach ahead. Every eye filled with tears when his story ha told Of a wife who was faithfnl and true, He told how hed saved all his earnings for years To build up a home for two. How, when Heaven had sent them this sweet little babe Their young, happy lives were blessed ; His heart seemed to break when he mentioned her name. And in tears tried to tell them the rest. Every woman arose to assist with the child. There were mothers and wives on that train. And soon was the little one sleeping in peace. With no thought of sorrow or pain.
