Dear Miss Brooks: Im a funny member to enter your comer. Ive wanted to for some time, but didnt dare, until I saw a letter in the last news item signed A Boy. You see I am another boy. The questions I wanted to 'ask are: 1 What kind of a boy or young man (Im 17) do girls admire? 2. Do they like to be loved up" or do they prefer just honest friendship 7 3. Has a boy of my age the right to escort a girl to dances? If not, what ia the proper age? 4. Could you give me the words to the song that goes Ive loved you always, yes I have been true, my heart has never beat but for you, etc, or tell me where I could obtain it? I have learned a lot and profited by your letters, and hope some one will gain knowledge from your answers aa well as I. Thanking you in advance, I remain, YOUR OTHER BOY ; Kanarra. Utah. P, S. A little more, please. 5. What is an interesting topic for a boy and girl to discuss when alone? I hops I dont occupy the whole corner. I enjoy the other letters too i , much. Y. O. B. You are very welcome indeed, My' Boy, as are all the boys This is your, corner, too, even though the girls do seem to be in the majority now, so dare to come as often as you like. Now let me see if I can give you an idea of what kind of a boy I think most of the girls admire. Most emphatically I do believe girls and boys of your age prefer honest friendship a friendship which does not smack of love at all, but invites the exchange of confidences, knowing that whatever is said to them will be held in confidence. Take yourself, for instance. I judge by your letter you d are an honest boy and do you not like best the girl who is interested in what interests you and who listens to your troubles, secrets and aspirations, rather than the one who would allow you to love , Roosevelt-- Ouidthe Reform I sm&Cean dasefol!

Now the construction Industry, having arrived at the point where the 'average man Is afraid to build a 'house and even the most reckless takes out heavy Insurance, has sent out an S. O.

Which is to say, as most people 'know, that Judge Kenesaw Mountain 'Landis has left the federal bench to Imake and keep baseball straight and ithat Will H. Hays has quit the office !of United States postmaster general to make and keep the movies decent. Franklin D. Roosevelt Is the third He has taken the Job of making and keeping the construction industry straight and efficient Former Judge Landis Is supposed to get a'bout $50,000 a year. Former Postmaster General Hays Is reported to receive a salary of $100,000 a year. IWhat former Assistant Secretary of the Navy, former Candidate Roosevelt, gets is not known but he will earn his salary, whether It is. From one viewpoint Dr. Roosevelt has the biggest and hardest job of the three. Construction Includes everything from the putting together of a hen coop to the erection of a skyscraper and from the laying of a cable to the building of a reservoir dam. In fact, it is one of our most Important Industries. First probably comes agriculture, then the construction Industry and then Right now, you know, there 'is a tremendous shortage of homes and living quarters all over the country, with high rents, and a host of atgoose-idocto- goose-docto- r. st 20-sto- trans-jportatio- n. tendant evils. Doctor Roosevelt Is probably a good man for this Job. as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, they say he never had a single strike In a single trade In the government shipyards during his seven years. There must have been something like 100.000 civilians in these shipyards. Credit for these Is given to Dr. Roosevelts round-tabl- e conference methods under 'which a grievance, real or Imaginary, could be threshed out. methods will be These round-tabl- e ia feature of the American Construction council, as the new body Is called, under the management of Dr, Roose-ivel- t, Its ; first president. Apparently something of the kind Is necessary. In the construe-itioLack of Industry certainly has brought j lots of trouble to all concerned. The workers have not had steady work. Violent strikes have been 'common. . eon-dltlo- n ; r Spring in the Arctic When one looks at a map of the '.Pacific ocean and Alaska, the Aleutian islands,- straggling off coward Siwell up toward the beria, seem to be comes as something North pole.

It Is the aim now to bring all the forces of building construction together. Reports from members of the American Construction council show that the building Industry Is so far revived that already a shortage of skilled labor exists in certain localities. And It Is predicted that before fall there wilP be a general shortage of common labor. It Is felt that great danger lies in efforts suddenly to resume all the great building projects that have been held up. To avoid this danger It is planned to lay out a national program of construction work in the four great divisions highway, railroad, municipal and private building. Thus labor will be steadied. - Instead of an overwhelming rush of work at one moment and stagnation the next a feast for labor followed by a famine an adjustment of the program can provide continuous labor for everyone. By team work among all construcwill be tion interests a clearing-hous- e established to collect Information on projected building. Obstacles to lowering the cost of construction will disappear. Labor will be better off, with steady wages the year around. The material manufacturer will be able to operate his factory on an even load. The contractor will not be held up for lack of material. In this manner the entire Industry can be put on the same economical basis on which other Industries are run. More than 250 national associations have joined In creating the American Construction council. There are ten groups architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, construction labor, material and equipmaterial and ment manufacturers, equipment dealers, financial, bond. Insurance and real estate organizations; utility construction departpublic ments, and representatives of federal, state, county and municipal burenus of departments ' 'concerned Ivith construction. the Orient with a. lot of big grasshoppers on board that . were picked up 600 miles from land.

Tacoma' biologists say the grasshoppers are able to fly long distances, and,, when they alight on the water, are buoyed up by the air sacs. These authorities also assert that the from All meetings will be open to the public. Adjustments of differences will be carried on in the open." That is merely a formal statement. President Roosevelt says other things which give further Indication that he knows just what sort of a Job hei is tackling. For Instance he says,' in the New York World: Naturally the people sought relief In law. In this Instance we . passed housing laws and rent laws that were so extreme that we couldn't have. Imagined them ten years ago, but they were not only passed but upheld by the courts. Now, I dont object to those laws, but they had one limitation they brought rents down In many Instances; they landed some profiteers in jail ; they gave tenants a standing In court which they had never had before; but they didnt provide the buildings which the people so desperately needed. In the meantime thoughtful people realized that there was something the matter much more difficult to deal with than profiteering. In a word. It was waste. Twenty per cent Is looked upon as an outrageous profit; but the committee on the elimination of waste of the Federated Engineering Societies gave our leading industries the onceover and found that we were wasting double that amount. That, remember, was the obvious waste. It didnt include the waste of needless competition. It didnt Include the waste through failure to use methods not hitherto employed. All Is waste, but there are a hundred conflicts in the con. struction industry which result in the duplication of effort and in loading 'ipon the ultimate consumer the cost of a lot of unnecessary work. The luw cannot stop these wastes. No one can stop them except the Industry itselfr-an- d the Industry cannot stop them unless all factors In that industry come together for the common purpose. Thai Is what the organization of the National Construction council means. It means that all concerned have agreed to come together, on a program of maximum service. There is nothin! socialistic, then. In this undertaking. There Is nothing Utopian. There is nothing unselfish, even, or altruistic about it. It is simply a case of a great Industry which bus not been doing very well pulling itself together to see what can be done. If this had happened forty years ago the main idea might have been higher profits, and some, one might have 'suggested some restriction on the output. But we know better now.

The main thing is to always treat the one you are escorting .as a perfect lady should be treated, and if she does net appreciate such treatment, seek the society of one who does.

I lived in the East and was very popular and respected. Now I have moved and no boys and very few girls seemf to care for nay company. Would you suggest being as entertaining as possible? If so, give me some example as to how to act and do. Or what would you suggest? 2. I have a boy friend I have quit corresponding with and now I would like to let him know my reason for quitting. Can you give me some I don't advice on this question? want to write to' him personally and I have some other things to tell him. He does not live here. I am 17 and of course worry over such things and am,, discouraged. Thanking you in advance, I aa ' yours respectfully, DISCOURAGED. You must not be discouraged over such things, my dear. You will no doubt find quite a difference between the Eastern and Western people in a social way, but you will soon become acquainted with them and I am surs like them very much. Surely, you should be as interesting as possible. If you dance, play or sing, let your friends mow about it, and converse as entertainingly as you know how, with everyone you meet. Other than this I cannot advise yon. One should always be their own natural self and be as pleasant as possible to everyone they come in contact with. I would think the better way would be to write to your boy friend and explain why you quit 'writing and tell him just what you wish to just V BUTTONS PLEATING 'AMcrdlaX'wCBoTVIeatinitTHctastitehlnf, Buttonholes.
