Hlnes, appointed by President Harding to head the vet-erans bureau, "as far as it Is possible and consistent with a thorough inves-tigation of the serious charges that have been made against the operation of the veterans' bureau."

Norwood, Idaho. Very glad to hear such good news. Gray Eyes. (1) My dear, the young man should not ask you for a dance without first finding someone to Intro-duce him. This seems to b th "eti-quette" of the public flance, and Is one of the reasons I do not approve of girls attending them. (2) I fear I am not expert at "guessing" ages by the handwriting, so would rather not try. Dear Hiss Brooks: I have, never written to you before, but I always read "Juat Between You and Me" with Interest and I have aome questions which I would like you to answer for me as you have answered others ao well. (1) Is It proper for a girl of fifteen to go to dances and partes with boys? (a) How much ether does it taks to put an ordinary person to sleep, before an operation? Yours truly. QUEEN ELIZABETH, Trsmonton.Lt. (I) Dear llttls girl. If you read my aorner regularly you could not have Missed aeslng this Identical question abswered a great number of times. Is my opinion, sixteen Is quite young enough for a girl to go with boys to public places of amusement. For a boy to escort a girl to a house rarty In the neighborhood occasionally be-fore that age Is quite all right, but public affairs, no. I do not mean young people before this age should have no amusements but let their par-ties and dancing be In their own home and when attending tha theatre or "movie" they ehould ba accompanied by ome older member of the family. (2V There are so many "ordinary" people' for whom the necessary amount of ether varies so greatly It would not be poealbla for ma t Ttvt an average amount. Dear Miss Brooks: I have nsver written to you before, but I read tha column "Just Between You and Me" with Interest and I sin-cerely hope you will answer for me the fallowing queatlons.

They were burled by the Ger-mans. After the armistice their graves were found, one marked with the name of Lieut Dana E. Coates, the other with the legend "Unknown." The graves were opened that these two might sleep with honored com-rades In France, and the laundry mark "L. It. T." was the only possi-bility of Identification found on the "Unknown," aside from the label on his uniform, showing It to have been made by a Rochester, N. Y, firm. Through that slender clue, the War department has announced the un-known had been positively Identified as Lieut. I R. .Thrall, who was trained In the flying school at Austin, Texas. The problem of Identification was solved In this way: Application was made to the Rochester firm. Yes, It had made the uniform. But It had made thousands Just like It and sold them to S00 re-ta- ll dealers over the country during the war. Each of tLese was asked by the graves registration service to search Its records for a sale to an oflicer with the Initials "L. R. T." Finally a dealer In Austin, Tex reported that Lieut L. R. Thrall had purchased such a uniform February 8, 1018. Back to France led the clue. The records of the first air depot In France were searched. They revealed the fact that the oflicer had been at-tached to the Eleventh aero squadron. Then It was comparatively easy to es-tablish the fact that he had been killed by the enemy while In flight with Lieutenant Coates and had been burled by the enemy. So now Lieut L. R. Thrall, "Un-known," no longer sleeps with his comrades in France. Appetizing? Cutting through the alley the lata worker figured that he could Just about reach the front door of the cats before they closed. And, aa he passed, he noticed a waiter coming to the air ley door with a platter of remnant toast. He made the front door.

The waiter plodded to the rear, and pretty soon the customer heard the cook growling: "Say, where did jroJ throw that toastr Thinking Over the President's Protocol revealed an unexpected unity among the Republicans against action at that time. In voting down the King motion the senate confirmed the Judgment of the foreign relations committee to the ef-fect that the time remaining before adjournment of the present congress was too short for the careful consider-atlo- n which the protocol merited. The Irreeoncllables, who have viewed the protocol, In spite of tha reservations suggested by Secretary of State Hughes, as a device to take the United States Into the league of na-tions "through the back door," wert elated over the decision of the senate. By the time this question Is reached In the next session, they pointed out the country will be on the eve of an-other presidential campaign, and they are confident that another "great and solemn referendum" will show the people as much opposed as ever to en-tering European entanglements. Roth sides expect to do considqrable talking about the subject during the adjournment, In the expectation that public sentiment will manifest Itself strongly one way or the other and force a showdown on International policy. m PRESIDENT HARDING'S proposed probably cause con-siderable hard thinking between now and December by members of con-gress. Certainly It will be widely dis-cussed on platform and In the press. Tb.4 protocol submitted by President Hardin' Just before congress nmklng the United States a member of the International court of Justice under the league of nations, was defln'tely sidetracked until the next congress meets. Ry a vote of 21 to 19 the senate re-jected a motion offered by Senator King (Dem., Utnh) to proceed to the consideration of his resolution to rati-fy the protocol. The vote, with a few exceptions, was along party lines and Doughboys Laden Like Motor Trucks MICHIGAN doughboys going Into A action In the World war amazed the French by throwing away every thing except lighting tools and strip-ping to their undershirts and breeches. It's no wonder, for the heaviest luden pack animal of the army Is the dough-boy himself. Inch for Inch by size or pound for pound of his own weight the truck private of Infantry carries on his buck Into battle double the burden hundled by horses or mules or motor trucks. And he Is expected to Jog cheerfully along through the ooze be-side the road, leaving the good going to the gns and animal transport. Army experts are racking their brains for ways to cut down the dough-boy's load. Exhaustive study hus been given to war experience for that pur-pos- Through the American Legion and similar organizations efforts hnve heen made to get the men who carried the Infantry packs In France to sug-gest changes. Hut as yet It has been possible, It was snld at the War de-partment, to get only a few ounces of weight off the backs of the trudging Infantry. Kxpenti flgirrt that th average lad for a foot soldier should not exceed CI pounds. Yet under the present organi-zation tables, "No. 3, rear rank," (the automatic rifleman In the Infantry must stagger along under about 1.13 pounds when fully equipped. The bulk of the doughboy's load Is fighting equipment What he carries for his own bodily comfort has always been stripped down to the absolute minimum. Aside from his "Iron ra-tions," bis blanket, overcoat, extrn shoes, nioRs kit, canteen and his few essential toilet articles, the weight the Infantryman packs has a grim pur-pose. The whole Intricate business of war rpvolves around tha doughboy and his rifle and bayonet. |
