We would like you to answer a few questions for us. (1) How old should a rlrl be before ghe goes with a boyT (2) How old should a Rlrl be before she gat to a night dance? (8) What are the meanings of Berntce, Florence. Renee, and Loina? (4 What are the. lucky days, months and colors for De-cember 12th and September 8th? Sin-cerely, PINKY AND YELLOW ROKE. Manti. Utah. (1) Personally I do not consider It wise, or prudent, or proper, for a girl to go out regularly with young men before she Is sixteen years of age. (2 The public dance Is not to be recom-mended for a girl of any age. and most assuredly not before she is sixteen, an then not without the protection and care of father or brother or older re-lation. (3) Only one of your name has a Bpecial meaning and this l Florence, meaning "blooming." (4) Do not place any confidence In "lucky days," etc., girls. Some consider Thurs-day lucky for one born In December and the months, ' February and June. Gold, red and green are the colors. Wednesday is the day for September, February and November the months' and gold and black the colors. Dear Miss Brooks: How old should a girl be when sh finishes the eighth grade?

Once more I must sincerely thank those who have sent songs with their letters, but who have failed to enclose names, and hope to have the pleasure of answering their queries later If they will but send their names and ad-dresses along. of the ways; by contracting dreadful diseases that may be spread by kiss-ing and other ways. Kissing is dangerous and unsanitary, and as for hugging put yourself In the boy's place a moment. Why do you suppose he ltkea to hug a girl? Simply because he gets a "kick" out of it. And, I aBk you isn't It better for a girl to act so she may inspire higher thought than this? You say boys do not care for, or seek the company of girls who will not be petted. I disagree with you. Take my own case, for instance. 1 used to allow boys to kiss and hug me. True. I had plenty of beaux, about one a night. But I soon found that they Just liked to take me home and te parties where they expected to have a wild time, etc., but when it came to going somewhere that really counted they took someone else. So I stepped, aad now I find I have plenty ef ml fellows, boys that are really worth while, that respect a girl, aad tke Wont of It is they really think eaongk ef me to want to step me again and again. I am one of the five most popular girls In our town, have the beat ef times at the dances, and the boys all speak of me as, "A good sport," and "a regular pal." De you Snd that many boys like to ge steady with you er would like you for a wife? I think not. I leve to be kissed aad hugged as much as anyone, I'm sure, but it doesn't pay, s therefore I e.utt. I think if you want the company of the right kind of boys, you would de much bet-ter If yeu would cultivate a beautiful personality, a cheerful smile, and a lovely voice, don't you? A girl doesn't have to be dignified and sober to be, "nice." She J net needs to be natural, j I flad, from talking to a boy that goes to one of our most prominent colleges, that not one ef the three girls who won first place In the popularity contest allows familiarities. Doesn't that prove what kind of girls are best liked? I hepe this letter will help some. I surely would like a personal talk with you. Yours sincerely, A FRIEND, Utah. Dear Miss Brooke: I have been reading your corner In the weakly paper and enjoy It very much. Thle la the first time I have written to the eorner. I would like to ask you a question or two. (1) 1 am In the third grade in music and would like to have you name some rood sheet music for me, as I am not tak-ing; lessons this summer. I am only eleven years old, but will be twelve before lung--. I don't care much for dolls, but I like my pets. The girls and boys bare bo swimming; In summer, and we have lots of fun. My main pastime In summer is playing-- the piano, read-ing and swimming-- . Wishing; you sue eese In your work, I am sincerely, M.. Idaho. I am very glad to welcome you dear, and hope It will not be the last time you call on me. I think you will find "Nightfall on the Mountain," "Spring Showers," "Melody of Love" and "Hil-arity" very pretty piano pieces. Per-haps you are getting a little past the "doll" age, aren't you, but I imagine you have some dear little and big ones you will keep for a long time yet, haven't you? And what are the pets kittens and dogs? I am ao glad you can have fun at these simple recrea-tions. So many girls about your age already complain of being tired of "everything under the sun." It seems. Continue to add to your funil of ac-complishments and Information and you will sot then be one who does not know what to do with her time, neither will you fret about how to be popu-lar, because you will have acquired the knowledge which assists very mater-ially toward making anyone popular. Dear Miss Brooks: Teu invited the readers of your cor-ner to write answers to the Ques-tioner who asks: "What Is the harm in petting?" Boys and girls, men and wo-men in numbers about equal make up the population. The mating instinct Is one of the strongest and most com-pelling of all. It Is no wonder young people blunder, or become confused. They have such an abundance of life, and such a capacity for loving! Some-where in thla world Is my mate, the one that belongs to me, Just one. If I take more someone else has to go without, and I am a robber. The best in my heart belongs to this one. If I bestow it on others I am robbing the one to whom It belongs. I will guard this treasure and find my dally happi-ness In occupying the place where I belong filling that place full of cheer and helpfulness, waiting till the All Knowing One shows me which one has the right to claim this treasure In my heart. What is m,ore attractive in this world than to see a young person full of life and energy exercising self con-trol, having a purpose for self develop-ment and usefulness, and sticking to it; equally companionable to dad and younger brother, a mouth untainted by tobacco or foul language, with a heart so merry that song and laughter bubble forth like water from a spring. No robber he, of the hearts that belong to another and his own heart's treasure ii carefully guarded. This la nothitiK more than every young person should be. Would it take all the Joy out of life? It means to possess the condi-tions of happiness which are something belter. A READER, Idaho. Dear Miss Rrooks: We're calling again for aBvlce In your little corner. It seemed so warm, and our other questions were answered so nicely we Just had to come again. (1) Are twelve and thirteen years old too old to wear three quarter socks? (2) If one's hair is Inclined to be curly what will make It more so? (8) How can a (tirl fourteen overcome the habit of talkinir nnd laURhlnif loud-ly. (4) I am twelve years old and my hair It long and quite thick. My muter wants me to cut It; would you? Grate-fully, WELCH and Dt'TCH. ftuh. And, I'm glad you did come asaln, (1) Vea, I btlieve twelve and thirteen Is. a little old for three quarter socks, except for sports wear. (i!) l'lense see my answer to "Trlxle" In last Issue of paper. Thla is the only way I know of to help the hair to become more curly, my dears. (.')) Just think In time not to do It. You can do this easily If you try, dear, and while I would not like you to set the habit of thinking too much about yourself while talkinir, it would seem quite necessary for you to do so until you have your voire trained into well modulated chan-nels. (4) I do not believe I would cut my hair If I were yon, but its really a matter to suit oneself about you know. Our little Questioner from Idaho, has received the three following: letters in answer to her recent query. Others will appear later: To "Just a Questioner." Idaho: When I read your letter to MUs Brooks I Just couldn't help writing; to give my experiences and views on the subject of "pettlna;." You may say, "Oh yes. you're another of these old fashioned women." I'm not. I'm not old fash-ioned and I'm not yet eighteen years of are, so I think I'm well qualified to know a little bit about It. You say you cannot see what harm a few hugs and kisses will do. I'se your reasoning power and Imagination Just a little. Have you ever been to a mental asylum? Pld you ever stop to think how some of th simple-minde- d people got like they are? Here Is one Dear Miss Rrooks: This Is the first time I have written you, but have been reading the corner for some time and surely appreciate It, I think It certainly gives wonderful advice to young boys and girls. As for the Questioner from Idaho, 1 think she is entirely wrong about pettlnir. I am twenty-fou- r years of age and have gone with many boys and 1 have, never yet allowed any of them to kiss, and pet me, and they all come bark; they never sllirliwd me and never called me "stuck up." 1 always treated them more like puis thun beaux, and I can say that 1 urn respected and have aj goodly number of boy friends of whomj 1 am proud. I am keeping company now, and have been for two years, wit hi a young man, and wo are now engaged, and he never sot klaes until we he- -' came engaged. I once heard a ludyi talk on this subject, which gave me1 the right Idea. She said: "A arirt wouldn't like to see an old man fifty: years from now, who had married audi settled down, telling his wife he had' klflsed this girl many times, or a girl fifty years from now, wouldn't like to! recall times when she had kissed boys! who were old men now and were all stained up with tobacco." Wishing you1 heaps of success I am, HLUE BELL, Idaho. Dear Miss Brooks: I have found the songs which I re-quested some time ago. I would like1 to have help aguln. Would you please tell me where I could get a book of humorous readings? Thanking you kindly for your help, I reamtn, I'OLLY. Idaho. You did not ;et much "help" from your former In'iJlry, did you Polly?. Hut I did try, and I am truly glad you found your songs.

Cnlier City, Calif.; Charll.t "I am a Progressive, but I Favor Retaining the Things That Are Good" By ALVA B, ADAMS, New U. S. Senator From Colorado. ' MAY be that government ownership and control is the solution I'Tof the transportation problem, but I believe a further test of private ownership of the railroads, with continued' government supervision, . should be made. I favor the repeal of the Esch-Cummi- law creating the railroad labor board. It has not worked well. It has served as a source of irrita-tion among railroad men rather than as a means of soothing them. Its mission, is good, but the results are not good because neither side u committed to abide by the decisions of the board. , I am in favor of law enforcement, and that applies to the Eighteenth amendment I am in sympathy with most of the economic purposes of the farm bloc, but I do not think blocs should exert their influence to the detri-ment of the whole, and I doubt their wisdom and propriety. I am in favor of an adequate and effective line of defense. We ought to be better prepared than we were in 1917. I am in sympathy with arms limitation in a general way, and in favor of anything that will make far more improbable, but I think the arms limitations treaty is less flective than the league of nations plan for preventing conflict. The international policies of Senator LaFollette and those who agree with him do not meet my approval. I am a progressive and I believe in eliminating the bad things in our government, but I em in favor of retaining the things that are good. . The government should stop child labor of the kind that stunts the child's growth. The government should prevent working conditions in-sanitary or destructive of the moral or physical welfare of the worker. Especially among women a far greater hazard of evil results from low j wage rather than from long hours. The preservation of peace is of far greater importance than the success of political parties, and if the President and his party can promote world peace I shall bo glad to support their efforts. I hope the senate will give its consent to membership in the International Court of Justice. 1 Western Brevities ;! from the Many I Western States 1: 'Carson City, Nev.

I am opposed to price-fixin- g legislation applying to farm products. Without the incentive or opportunity to trade and with no reason for organising, he result would be that the minimum price would become the maximum price, for there would be no active force to remove it from its starting point. The fanner would lose all individual initiative, all ability and incen-tive to trade or barter, and he would become a vidian of an autocratic system of business and price fixing which would make him, in effect, a ward of the government, whereas by the present method we are seeking to develop a democracy that gives the widest opportunity to sgriculturs to compete. If, in addition to having to meet organized groups who price their own products, were we to provide for governmental stabilization by the method proposed in any of the bills now in congress, the fanner would find himself between the arbitrary price fixed by the groups and the arbitrary price fixed by the government. Since he is approximately one-thir- d of the total population, he would be in a position of having his customers, the other two-thir- ds of our population, after pricing their own goods, sit in with him and, with their majority vote, determine the price. .Government by Blocs Leads to Class War, of AD Conflicts Most Cruel By COL. It. W. STEWART, Address' at Coe Coll.gs. Government by blocs, carried to its ultimate conclusion, leads to but one destination class war, of all conflicts the most cruel, ruthless and destructive. The bloc system is designed to favor a minority, a certain class, regardless of the effect upon the majority. It is history that no bloc or class has ever maintained itself in power for any length of time in any nation without resort to militarism and confiscation. The average advocate of syndicalism, communism and associated revolutionaryisms and I do not exclude socialism is at heart a shirker, whether he be of the study or soapbox, lie aims at equality of reward. He would rob the children of the frugal to recompense the offspring of the profligate. The intellectual of the pessimistic red variety contemplates the dreadful spectacle of a man earning his living by the sweat of his brow. He suffers vicariously for the man who must work to live. lis dreams of Utopia where no man would have to work, or, at least, where there would be but little work to do. He prates of relieving what he is pleased to call the proletariat of the dreadful necessity for work, blissfully careless of the biological fact that it was this 6ome necessity for work which raised man from a situa-tion of savagery to his present estate. Future American Army Must Be Composed of Normal, Virile, Healthy Men By LT.-CO- L. JULIUS R. KLINE, Staff Specialist, U. S. A. The watchword of the United States army is efficiency.' To perfect an aTicient defense the defenders of the nation must be 100 per cent efficient. Efficiency means men real men normal and healthy loth in body and mind. The nation does not contemplate training men to destroy other men, but it does seek to so train men that they will be able to defend themselves, should occasion arise, apuint-- t other ineij who may attack the nation. The future army nuu-- t be (oinpoR'd of normal, virile, healthy men. The nation, to maintain its supremacy, needs such men. The future of the generations to come demands real men to perpetuate the nation We must produce and maintain men and women healthy physically, nice tally and morally. The government aims to train men so that physically they are in truth images of their Creator; mentally, that they will be able to reason for themselves, and show a proper respect for the laws of the nation, and morally, that they shall m live and act as to he of credit to this nation, which has always respected (ind, humanity and freedom of all mankind.
