Address letters very plainly, with pen and Ink, to Helen Brooks, Box 1545, t Lake City, Utah. Dear Miss Brooks: V Tour corner has helped me in maify ways, but as yet I have never wrlttja to you. There are a few questions which I would like you to answer if you will. (1) Is It proper to chew gum at dances or In any other public placet (2) If there is an entertainment In your home town Is It proper to go else-where to a similar entertainment? Thanking you in advance, I remain, BROWN EYE3, Idaho. Chewing gum in any public place Is vulgar, Brown Eyes. If one wishes to chew gum it should be done in the privacy of one's home or better still, room. (2) It would show more loyalty to your home town, to attend the enter-tainment given there, but circum-stances might make it all right to go to the one out of town. You can better judge of that than I can. Dear Miss Brooks: We have been reading the letters In your corner and we enjoy them. May we join? We want to ask you a few questions. (1) Is it proper for a boy to kiss a girl after taking her some place? (2) Is it proper for girls of 14 and lfl to go with boys? (3) Should a boy and a girl go any place without other people? (4) Should a girl go car riding with a boy .fter a short acquaintance? Thanking you In ad-vance and wishing you success, M ETTA and JAZZ, Idaho. Yes, surely, you may Join. (IV Hardly proper, girls, but quite a pop-ular pastime it seems. (2) I do not think a girl of fourteen should be go-ing out with boys. It is all right for , a girl of sixteen to go occasionally. '!) ot st thi" age you mention. (4) No. Why? Just read the papers, dear, 'tins que.-tio-n is .answered in soma way In the dally papers nearly every day-ter- rible accidents, kidnappings, etc., etc. I'leaso don't do it. You are ever so welcome. sort! I can have Just as good a time at a dance or partv as anyone. PRISCILLA, Wyoming. Dear Miss Brooks: You ask for expressions on the sub-ject of petting. I know a girl that liked to be petted and she had lots of beaux but she soon got too old for the "swell lovers," as the little lady calls them, and the better class didn't want such a cheap girl for a wife or one that every body could play with, so she got left. With best wishes, E. E., Idaho. P. S. Miss Brooks, if I write all I know of my alphabet will you help me (ill in the rest? Just answer in your column. I do not know Just what you mean in your post script, so shall have to ask you to explain, then I will be glad to help you if possible. Dear Miss Brooks: 1 have enjoyed reading your answers every week, and I am sure you are doing helpful and satisfactory work In so ably answering all the many questions that are asked. I can't think of a question to ask now, but there is an song I would like very much to get the words of. I can't remember the titles but the chorus goes like this: "There are friends that we never forget, There are friends that we ever hold dear; ' Though we meet with a kiss In a mo-ment of bliss, And we part with a sigh and a tear." I am enclosing the words to one of the songs requested. With best wishes, MARVA, Utak. Thank you for the song, Marva, and I am very hopeful that some of our generous readers will recognize and send in one for which you ask. I do hope my corner Is as helpful as you think, and appreciate your kindly wishes. Dear Miss Brooks: I have derived much pleasure from "our" little corner and feel that I should do my part to help it "grow," so I am sending In two of the songs asked for last week. I would like very much to get a book of Scotch Kongs (such as are sung by Harry Lauder) and If some reader has one and wants to sell, trade or loan it, I would like to hear from them. (I want words and music.) Thanking you In advance for the favors and wishing best success to the corner, I remain, BONNIE JEANNE. Idaho. How sweet of you, Bonnie Jeanne, to wish to help our corner. Thank you so much. It Is Just such thoughts and deeds that kavc made our corner pos-sible and made it grow. I have only one of the songs you wish now, so will hold your envelope for the other one which I am sure will soon arrive, and wouldn't It be lovely if some one should have a book of scotch songs such as you wish! I am sure the rest would be easy. I will gladly forward any Infor-mation anyone may wish you to have, right on to you. To DAWN, Smlthfleld.

The traveler saw the wild deer drink, or crop the bolnchen spray; Beneath a hill whose rocky side o'er bowered a grassy mead. SONGS AND POEMS RECEIVED The following songs and poems have been received during the past week, and I wish to thank each one for their kindness In contributing them: Little Black Me. As Your Hair Growl Whiter. Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight. Snow Deer. Rainbow. Hand in Hand Again. REQUESTED SONGS AND POEMS: These songs and poems are on the requested and list: For Every Boy That's on the Level. Is There a Kiss For Me Tonight? Song or poem beginning: "I can ride the wildest broncho" Lonesome: Cho. "Oh I'm lonesome for you, "Oh, I'm lonesome 'tis true," etc. Goo-Go- o Eyes (Coon song.) Are You From Dixie? Tomorrow. Anchored: "Flying with flowing sail Over the bounding Sea." That Salvation Lassie of Mine. Why Should I Cry Over You? Old Glory. In the Valley by the Mohawk. Dear Miss Brooks: I am a girl of fourteen. I weigh 115 pounds, and I am about 62 Inches In height. I am bigger than my sister who Is sixteen and weigh more than my sister that Is eighteen although she Is taller than I. I get "poked fun" at sometimes for being so fat. Do you think I am any over-weigh- t? I have quite dark skin, brown eyes and me-dium brown hair, my face Is not too long nor round. I think I look better with my hair puffed out on the sides than I do with It Just combed back and braided. Could you suggest a girlish fashion In which I could comb my hair without snarling it? Wishing you much success I am "A UTAH GIRL." Tou are about nine pounds over-weight, my dear, which isn't so much and don't yu let them tease you about it but get real "busy" and see If you can't lose" that nine pounds real quick. If you are now eating lots of sweets, fats, white bread and potatoes. Just forget them and substitute all the fresh green vegetables and fruits you can; take all the exercise you can, and take It strenuously, not forgetting a dally walk. Let your other exercises be whatever Is available to you whether It be swimming, horse-bac- k riding, tennis, etc., but try to do something like this Tery day. If you do this I am very sure you will soon "reduce" the necessary amount. Suppose you try arranging the hair by parting It straight down the mldole of the back, braid each side close to the ears and roll the braid In a knot over the ears, arranging the hair about the face In a soft, becoming manner, by either part-ing it In the middle or on the side with a few bangs If you like them. Hope this proves to be a becoming style to you. It Is simple and girlish. Dear Miss Brooks: Having found many pleasing an-swers In your "Between You and Me" corner, I am going to ask you a ques-tion for the first time. (1) When It Is time for your boy friend to leave your house at night, which fine should make the first signs of this fact? (2) What Is the proper thing to say at this time. Wishing you much success In your work, I remain Ami fenced a cot tune from the wind, A deer wus wont to feed. She only came when on the tneiul The evening; moonliprht lny, and no man knew the secret haunt in which she walked tiy day. White were her feet; Her forehead showed a spot of silvery white That seemed to Rllmmer like a star in autun-- s hasty nlpht. And as here sung the wlilppoorwlll, She cropped the sprouting leaves. And here, her rustllnff steps were heard of still October eves. Once In autumn's golden time, she rang the wild Invade, And found the pheasant nor the deer, and wandered homo Bguln, N'ext evening shown the waxen moon. Henido the silvery-foote- d deer there Kth'cA a spotted fawn, The cottage dnme forbade her son to aim the rifle here: "It were a sin," she said, "to harm or frlKht that friendly deer: This spot h.is been my plen.s.int home ten peaceful years snd more, And ever when the moonlight shines she feeds before our door. I love to watch her as she feeds, and think that all Is well While such a rentle creature haunts the place in which we dwelt Next evening shone the waxen moon as sweetly as before: The der upon the grassy mead was feeding- - full In slKht. Me raised the rifle to his eye and from the cliff's around A sudden echo shrill and sharp cave back Its deadly sound. Away Into the f wood the startled creature flew. And crimson drops of moisture lay amid the glimmering; dew. Next evening: shone the waxen moon as sweetly as before, The deer upon the grassy mead was seen again no more; The red men say that here she walked, a thousand years ago; They never raised the war whoop here, and never swayed the bow. At night, the red men came and burnt the cottage to the ground And slew the youth and dame. "A WONDER." Utah.

Irnr Miss Urooks: This is the first time thnt I have ever written to you, but I have been reading your corner for some time and I have received much helpful advice from It I saw the letter from the girl who wanted to know why petting was wrong, so I thought I would oiler my opinion on the subject. I do not think petting Is right because I think ii lowers a boy's opinion of you and I am sure It lowers your t. Then it a boy Is the petting kind he usually V the kind that will talk about a girl after she lets him pet her. Some that they aren't as popular. Well. they aren't In a way but thev can always be sure that boys respect them even If they do say they are stow I have gone s with a boy who re-spects girls enough to not be the pet-ting kind and I like him better than any boy I have ever known. If the boy a girl goes with Is the right kind he will not drop her when she refuses wholesale petting. The Idaho girl said she liked to be petted. Well. I will admit that one can get a "thrill" out of It but I don't think I am missing anything by not allowing it. I arr. almost eighteen and I have been going with boys about two years and I have decided that I like the kind thnt are not long on petting best of all.

HEWSHP38SF: Uncle Sam Not a Liberal Paymaster WASHINGTON. to The pay union Its employees social allowances ft It ex-pects to fill the numerous positions which require unusual training and ability, and for which mere pittances are paid now. This has become evident as resigna-tions pile up here, with government jobs of the responsible type going beg-ging. The last of a long Hue of under-secretaries who have resigned In the last two years, Edward Clifford, assist-ant secretary of the treasury, declared upon giving up his position that It wns Impossible to live In the cnpital and maintain the necessary social activities n a salary of $5,000. Ills complaint Is that already voiced by numerous government officials In responsible portions who find their ikltnpy sulnrles hardly more than ?nough to pay the high house rents here. Clifford's resignation followed closely that of S. Tarker Gilbert, under-secretary of the treasury, who resigned bis $10,000 position as right hand aid to Mellon to capitalize his ability In business. Many tragic stories He under the surface of the great government esta-blishmenttales of thwarted ambition of uble men who have been faithful to the government, of struggles to keep up nprrearanees and perform their nec-essary social roles, and at the sume time clothe and feed families, which sometimes are large. No circuit rider In the southern and western hill coun-try, with a house full of children, hat a harder task than some of the govern-ment employees here who hold lmpor--' tant positions requiring ability, but are forced to live on almost nothing a year. Realizing that no relief Is In sight, many who long have waited anxiously are breaking away and finding highly profitable positions In outside business. It appears that the government Is fac-ing a resignation epidemic which may lead to serious results. Ten undersecretaries have resigned since Harding assumed office. A sal-ary of $100,000 a year with a foreign trudlng company lured C. II. Ilouslon from the side, of Hoover and an assist-ant secretaryship which paid only $r,000. The assistant secretary of agri-culture, C. W. Pugsley, resigned his $".,000 Job to become head of a large western agricultural college. Many other assistant secretaryships, which pay similarly low salaries, may lose their incumbents. The undersec-retary of state, who must have years of diplomatic training, receives only $7,f00, while the first assistant secre-tary of state draws only $5,000 a year. Even with the small salaries, the possibility of sudden dlmlssal, and the anxiety caused by changing adminis-trations, hangs always over the heads of government employees of this type.

Advertisement Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. ' The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo- t is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as-tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re-jected it because kidnry trouble is so i common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose application! i are declined do not even suspect that they '; have the disease.

Treasury Surplus Savors of Novelty national budget has been THE for the fiscal year a surplus of about $310,-000,0- of revenue over ex-penditures. Tills announcement was made by General Lord, director of the bureau of the budget. The fact that the surplus passed the 300,000,000 mark came as something of a surprise. President narding pre-dicted on June 18 that the surplus would be about $200,000,000, and it was then thought It would fall below the surplus of $201,221,000 at the end of the fiscal year 1020. The $310,000,000 surplus, however, Is not a world's record. The Rrltish government ended Its fiscal year on March 31 last with a budget surplus of 101,000,000, or nearly $j00,000,000. In his statement, General Lord snld In part: "The reductions In the total expend-itures for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1022, will be approximately $205,-000,00- Exclusive of expenditures on account of enpitnl outlays, operations In special accounts, such as railroads, the Wur Finance corporation, the Emer-gency Fleet corporation, etc., refunds of tax receipts, und Interest on and retirement of the public debt, the ordi-nary operating expenditures of the government during the fiscal year end-ing June 80, 1923, will be approximate-ly $297,000,000 less than the same ex-penditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922. "One yeor ago the estimated receipts and expenditures Indicated a deficit of $823,000,000 for the fiscal year 1023, The difference of $1,133,000,000 be-tween this estimated deficit of $823,-000,0- 00 and the present estimated sur-plus of $310,000,000 Is accounted for by an Increase In receipts of $767,00fV' 000, and a reduction In the estimated total expenditures of $300,000,000. "The difference In receipts was oc-casioned by an Increase of $213,000,000 In custom receipts. In In-ternal revenue receipts, and $131,000,-OK- ) In miscellaneous receipts. The dif-ference of $306,000,000 in total esti-mated expenditures was the result of a reduction of $151,000,000 In general expenditures and In Interest on the public debt, and a net decrease of $170,000,000 In capital outlays, oper-ations In special accounts, refunds of tax receipts, and retirement of the public debt required to be made by ordinary receipts."
