Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading the questions and answers in your corner for some time and I enjoy reading them very much. I would like you to answer a few for me. (1) I am a girl of 16. I have been going with a boy of this town for some time and I am very fond of him. But lately he prefers other girls' company in preference to mine. What would you advise me to do? (2) What kind of a girl do boys like to go out with? (3) How can a girl be popular without being a flap-per? (4) Is it proper for a erowd of boys and girls to go up the canyon at night and have a chickeree? Thanking you in advance, I am re-spectfully," TROUBLED BRUNETTE. (1) My dear, do not waste your af-fections on a boy who prefers anoth-er girl's society. Boys, or girls eith-er, rarely form lasting affection at the age of sixteen, and your friend, doubt- - publish the words of the song end-tie- d "When You're Gone I Won't For-g- et ' You?" Thanking yon in advance, I remain, BETTY, Tooele, Utah. No bother at all, Betty, but becaos of lack of space we cannot publish songs which can be readily obtained in the music stores. Your song can bo had for 30 cents. I will be glad to have it sent to you if you wish. , Dear Miss Brooks: ' I have some questions I would lika to ask you. (1) How old is Mary Miles Minter (2) Who was the leading man in the picture show"Durand of the Bad Lands?" (3) Who first start-ed motion picture shows? Thanking you in advance, WANETA. Cleveland. Mary Miles Minter is 20 years old. Dustin Farnum was leading man in "Durand of the Bad Lands." Thomas A. Edison is pioneer of the motion , picture industry. less, wishes to be friends with more than one girl before he settles down to just one, and I think it much the better way, don't you? You should enjoy the friendship and society of more than one boy, and not be too fond of ar.y one, at the age of sixteen. (3) Boys like girls who are a little independent and who do not show their affection too plainly. The girl who is modest and sincere, quiet and unas-suming, will make many more lasting friendships than the girl who grows too fond of every boy she meets and shows it too plainly. The flapper is a passing fancy, and her popularity is fleeting. Do not, I entreat you, ima-gine you have to become, or even imitate a flapper to be popular. Bet-ter far be in a class by yourself. And know this, the whole world has not gone permanently mad over the biz-arre in style, but that there are those (boys and men included) who appreci-ate the sensible, sane acting and dress-ing girl. (4) A crowd of boys and girls should not go any place without some older person who can act as chaperon. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been a very interested read-er of your corner for some time, but I could not get up enough courage to write you about a question that has been bothering me for some time, and I am in hopes you will be able to an-swer it for me. I got acquainted with a boy over a year ago. He seemed to like mo very much, and :hen he asked me to marry him. But I don't know whether I should or not He is 30 years old, and I am only 18. I think lots of him one time, and then again I don't care so much for him. I told him I could not marry for two years. Dear Miss Brooks: I wrote once before but received no answer, so will try again. Please give me the address of some store in Salt Lake where I can get music and words and for how much. Thanking you, I am, MAY, Manti, Utah. You must have overlooked your an-swer, my dear. You will have to send your name and a stamped envelope, together with the songs you wish, and I will then tell you where you can get them, and the price. Dear Miss Brooks: You have helped many girls with their Bee Hive work, perhaps you can help me. Would you please tell me about the Blue Violet? Thank you for the trouble I have caused you. A BEE HIVE GIRL, Burley, Idaho. The botanical name for the common blue Violet is Cucullate. The Violet stands for constancy and modesty. As the chosen emblem of Napoleonism, it has served many a sadly practical purpose, and it has been the theme of the poet from the earliest time. As Viola, it was known to the ancient Romans, and the great Linnaeus adopted the name as the language of science. In those early times, when poetry and nature were blended so closely together, the Violet was re-ceived as especially the emblem of constancy. It has been found wild from Arctic America to the Gulf of Mexico, westward in the Rocky Moun-tains, and across the Sierra Nevadas, almost to the Pacific coast It growa in deep, shady woods, as well as ia the most exposed places, but general-ly where the soil is a little damp. Glad to serve you. I am sure. He said he could wait ten years for me, or longer if need be. My parents think very highly of him. He is an exception to most boys these days. He works almost all of the time, and he can always get a job when he needs one. He also said there was nothing too good for me. But I don't seem to like him for some reason. Ho is a little but he is as firm as the Rock of G-ibraltar. He has white hair and mine is not any too dark. So what shall we do about it? I don't know what in the world to do. So I will try and get it from my mind until I get an answer from you. Hoping you have the best of luck, I am, SYLVIA, St. George, Utah. P. S. I don't like his white hair. And he is not very well educated and I have always had the desire for a well educated husband. He has a fine nature and has lots of mother wit. When he writes me he always writes in pmcil instead of pen and ink. How can I give him a hint without hurting his feelings? Well, my dear, you do seem to have a problem. They say love is blind, but I doubt it, don't you? You are a vri.se liulo giil to put.uf. the fatal day two years. You should be able to tell in that time whether or not his peculiarities, looks, habits, etc., have become so obnoxious that they will be a source of irritation to you always. He seoms like an exceptional man, though (we need more people, it seems to 'me) and so why! not keep his many good points as1 much in mind as possible, and forget1 the things which are not quite so at-- ; tractive about him? We all have our bad points, yu know. The question ef hk light hair is rather a hard one to manage as I cannot see how it can be changed, and after all what is the difference? Too much college educa-tion sometimes spoils an otherwise wonderful man. Ore can cultivate ways and habits which place thorn well up in the scale of what the world conaidtrs a cultivated, wpll-bre- d per-son. Let this be the subject of con-versation and let him know in a tact-ful way what your Ideas are along this line and thJs would apply alno to the ppn aixl ink problem. But dear, w are never able to have any ore made according to our own pat-tern (anil I womkr if w would like thum if we could) so we must always able to bear and foiVar.

Four ambassadors, sixteen minis-ters, two agents and one minister resi-dent and consul general appointed by President Harding, the report says, were persons without any previous diplomatic experience. "While many of the 23 appointments made of persons without previous diplomatic experience operated as a recognition of political obligations," the report states, "the evil of such appointments Is largely abated by the present administration and contrasts favorably with the records of the first year of other administrations, For this record, President Ilardlng and Secretary Hughes are to be com-mended. President Harding Is fur-thermore deserving of commendation In that he had selected for secretary of state a mnn of the highest qualifi-cations and one devoted to the merit principle. The committee reported a still bet-ter showing, "an unequaled record of adherence to the merit system" In Its examination of appointments In the consular service. There Iihb been during the first 15 months of the present administration, tho report, states, "not a single exception to the rules requiring appointments through examinations In the consular service." "4Xf A SHINQTON. Long strides removing diplomatic posts from rewards for political service have ' been made during President Hardlng'a administration, according to , a report Issued by the committee on foreign service of the National Civil Service Keform league. i The report says the first year "seems to Indicate that an earnest ef-fort has been made to retain the serv-ices of men of experience and to ap-point to diplomatic posts persons with qualifications In diplomacy." The committee reports that five of the nine . ambassadors appointed by President Harding were men with pre-vious experience In diplomacy. Six of the thirty ministers now Serving In the diplomatic corps, the committee found, were appointed on the basis of their experience and eight were men appointed during previous GUARD AGAINST STONE BRUISES This , Form of Injury to Tires Is One of Most Common and Expensive to Owner. BREAK IN FABRIC IS INSIDE Inexperienced Driver Who Gcta Hard Bump Against Carb or Any Other Object Usually Look, for In-Ju-ry cn the Outside. A "atone bruise" la the term used to describe an Injury to a tire caused by striking some object with sufficient fonce to cause tbe tire fabric to be broken. It need not be a stone that causes the damage. The break In the fabric may be In only one ply or It may be la all of them ; but In any case It la always tbe Inside ply that breaks first. An Inexperienced driver whose tire gets a heavy blow from a stone or a curb usually looks over the outside of the tire to see If any damage has been Bump Against Curb Will Cause "Stone Bruise." done. But the old driver knows that If barm has been done the place to look for It is in the inside and that any break In the fabric will be registered on the Inside ply first. Inside Ply Shorter. Normally the Inside ply Is shorter than the rest and each ply is shorter than any of the others which are lo-cated outside of It. This Is because it Is on the inside of the curvature of the tire. Now if the tire Is suddenly com-pressed at some point to a considerable extent, "such as shown la the lllustra,-tlon- , the relative position of the piles Is reversed; that la, the ouslde ply becomes, at this particular point, the Inside ply as regards the curvature and the Inside ply becomes the outside ply as regards curvature. If it should happen, as It often does, that only one or two Inner piles are broken, there will not be any signs of the injury on the outside until a con-siderable time afterward. This Is be-cause the other plies still unbroken will continue to hold against the air pres-sure even though they will be under excessive strain. But continued flex-ing will eventually break them also, and the result may be a blowout, which may occur at any time, even on a per-fectly smooth pavement Other Effects. Another effect of a break In one or two Inner pllea may be that from con-tinued bending the broken edges of tho fabric nib a hole in tbe inner tube at that point Sometimes the break la so pronounced, especially In a fabric tire, that the air pressure forces the Innet tube Into the break, and as this Is con-tinually closing and opening, aa the tire rolls, the action la like a pair of pinchers and cuts (he tube. If the tube Is chafed through or cut aftwr a bruise, such as described, the air will pass directly through the car-cass and force the rubber side cover-ing, and sometimes the tread, loose from the fabric. When this happens the user generally terms It a blowout, and as a matter of fact It Is ; but con-trary to tbe opinion often held, It Is seldom the result of a defect In manu-facture. It can generally be traced to an Injury sustained some time prior to the final breaking down of the tire. YOU AUTO KNOW j That gasoline, oil and grease are the natural enemies of rub- - !; ber and that they will rapidly '.' lead to decay and disintegration ' of tires, particularly If the lat- - ;! ter have beea driven for a con- - slderable distance and are nicked or cut. Gasoline espe-- dally Is injurious to tires be-- : cause It is a solvent of gum rub- - ber, but, because of the fact that It evaporates rapidly, It does not present such a menace as oil and ' grease. Permitting a car to stand In a garage In a pool of oil will, In a comparatively short time, lead to I; a decay of the rubber and a marked shortening of the life of the tire Itself. Even the pools of oil and grease which are to be noted on streets where automo- - biles are usually parked are dan- - ' gerous for this reason as well s for the fact that they provide extremely treacherous footing and may lead to a serious skid. So Injurious are all kinds of oil to the fabric of which tires are made that one manufacturer ad-- vises motorists v ho are forced to go over freshly oiled roads to stop as soon as they have passed !; the oiled section and clean the surface of their tires with gaso-- '', line, taking care to wipe the cleansing agent on with a dry '!. rag. (Copyright, 1922, by the 'Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Has Uncle Forgotten He Bought 'Em? TQ YOU remember that Uncle Snm J- -' purchased of Denmark In 1917 for $25,000,000 the Virgin Islands, with ' an area of 142 square miles and a population of 20,051? Well, If you do, that's more than Uncle Sam does, ac-cording to the Virgin Islanders. Anyway, a delegation of three from the Virgin Island- - called at the White House recently and arranged for a conference, at which they hope to get the attention of this country directed i to the troubles of our newly-acquire- d Islands. The United States purchased the Islands In order to keep them from falling Into the hands of Germany. We placed a navy officer In charge, and seem to have all but forgotten the Islanders and their Islands. The dele-gates who have come to get a hearing Insist that being under the Stars and Stripes la a hardship to them, Instead of a "privilege. Tbe original act of purchase pro-vided that all residents of the Islands would become citizens of tbe United States, unless they recorded thetr wish to remain Danish subjects. No pro-vision was made for natives of the Islands who previously had come to the United States or moved to other Islands In the West Indies. They are citizens of Denmark, under the pres-ent program, if they are citizens of any country, which some among them seem to doubt They want that ques-tion settled, so that those who wish, will be granted American citizenship. The political troubles of the Island-ers are not causing them half so much worry as are their economic difficul-ties, largely the result of extending the eighteenth amendment to them. The manufacture of bay rum waa one of the foremost Industries of the under Danish rule. That has been killed under prohibition, as hat been the manufacture of rum. They complain that the enforcement of our shipping regulations operates to bar Spanish Tessels, and that the trade of the Islands has been crippled.

Where's the Hay Fever This Summer? nope fu IE r ml not hard to bear, but the reason therefor Is perplexing. The fact re-mains, however, that most of those who are every summer In the throes of hay fever and Incipient asthma are strangely free from the universal ail-ment. Many learned authorities have at-tempted to explain the nature of the singular malady, but your real hay fever addict takes no stock In tech-nical descriptions. He knows that it comes periodically and leaves period-ically, and that while It remains It Is violently and explosively In evidence. He has the consolation of knowing that relief Is near in the higher alti-tudes, but owing to the fact the neces-sity of making a living interferes with his freedom of action, that con-solation hus no practical value unless he can avnlt himself of If Some hay fever victims fall heir to the affliction In August, but vet-erans of the art acquire it early and lone It late.

MJTTIMBLI A thorough motorist should be a good judge of distance and speed. More accidents result from faulty adjustment or application of brakes than from any other cause. Engine knocks are classified under four heads spark, overheating, car-bon and loose or worn parts. One cause of lata of power In an engine while pulling against a load Is a partly clogged gasollue line from tank to caruureior, not permitting ?nogh fuel to enter the carburetor and pasa on to engine. e One of the newest Ideus regarding safety on the highways, especially at night, Is the suggestion that pedestrl-uu- s on the left-han- d side of the road keep out of the range or path of an au-tomobile approaching from the rear. TIRES HELP MAKE GOOD CAR Appearance of Machine Is Often Marred By Appearance and Con-dition of Tires. Tires tell milesge history more ly even than speedometers. The appearance of a car Is frequently made or marred by condition of the tires. A new set of tires and a little clean-ing up of the car, say old tire men, will accomplish the same results for the old car that a shuve, a hulr cut and a shine will do for the man with an old suit of clothes. Sugar, Senate and Charges of Scandal HAND A ff QV&lWf( CHARGES of a two-side- d scandal with ' the sugai schedule of the tariff bill In the sen-ate caused a furore that resulted In a general demand for an Investiga-tion. Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.), who provoked the row, first charged that the United States government had attempted to Intimidate Cuba Into restricting her sugar crop for the year to 1,500.000 tons, so as to protect American cane and beet sugar pro-ducers from competition. He accused Senator Smoot (Hep., Utah) of writing a letter to Mujor General Crowder, In Cuba, "propos-ing that if Cuba would reduce her crop to 2,500,000 tons, this country then would take under consideration' the maintenance of a reduction In the present rates on sucar.'' The Mississippi senator then read from a newspaper copy of a document purporting to reveal an agreement be-tween certain unnamed senators and the sulfur Interests whereby In lieu of an Increase of four-tenth- of 1 cent a pound in the duty on mikmt, as de-manded by American cine nml lif t producers.
