JJjlllll Rcadiiyf <md ail ihc fergglxj |[ jiPfl \ idl IIIIIPm, \ U°l 1 Life's Problems Are Discussed BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW She is a little girl in the high school, and she has written me of some o£ her troubles. She seems rather discouraged by her inability to live up to her own standard of conduct, and also by the fact that she is frequently called down by her teachers. '1 know that I am not natur ally bad," she writes, "but I am a'ways being either careless or hasty. I am always saying things which I feel sorry for "afterward. 1 often think, how could I have said such a thing? But that is al ways after I have said it. I know that I would never naturally say the things I do if I had only thought a minute first But I never can re member in the world to be a nice, polite young lady, and I should be very thankful for a little advice from you. I have been called im pertinent several times, and I did not even know that I was so." There, little girl, don't cry! Tou are Just running up against some of the difficulties of growing up. I know quite a bit about you, just trom reading your letter. You are of a candid and impulsive disposition, and you have a little way of saying quite on the spur of the moment whatever happens to come Into your head, which Is one sure way of gel ting into trouble. Sometimes it is worth it, sometimes it isn't. Usually it isn't—if you want to keep your friends. I am sure from what you say that you naturally prefer a calm and har monious atmosphere to a cyclonic one. Therefore it would be not only the part of wisdom, but also the part of good breeding to suppress that quick remark or comment willoh rises so readily to your lips. I quote Emerson to you: "Life is not so short but there is always time for courtesy. Self-com mand is the main elegance. 'Keep cool and you command everybody," said Saint Just; and the wily old Talleyrand would still say, 'Suriiout, messieurs, pas de zele' —'Above all, gentlemen, no heat.' " But don't abate your charming candor. If you are asked your opin ion give it frankly. You are as much entitled to your view as any one else Is to his. But don't obtrude It at unseasonable times. Learn to merge your silver speech into golden si lences. You are perplexed and wounded because your teacher occasionally reprimands you when you have meant no disrespect. You will have to look at this apparent injustice in a broader way. Your individual qualities, which might delight and interest your teachers if they met you socially, would be quite out of place in the classroom. • There not only a standard of class scholarship must be maintained, but a standard of class behavior as well. And each scholar must conform to It. If you say something thought lessly which sounds impertinent, al though you may not have Intended it so, then the same reproof must be dealt to you as to the girl who is deliberately and intentionally imper tinent. In no other way can disci pline and order be maintained. The same thing applies in the business world.

As brothers they may say what they please to each other, but if the private is disre spectful or impertinent to his su perior officer severe penalties will be imposed upon him for that luxury. It is also only fair for you to con sider the teacher's side. She may seem to you a terrifyingly competent and learned and self-possessed young lady, but she, too, has her own pri vate troubles and worries. There are probably, days in her life when she would rather die than present her smiling face in the class room. She is not immune from tooth ache and heartache and discourage ment and regret any more than you are. And if she is your superior of ficer she also lias her superior offi cers lurking in the offing. It is even quite conceivable that like the rest of us she, too, says hasty things she wishes she hadn't. And don't be too desperately anx ious to be always on your good be havior and try to be too proper. It will make'you appear stiff and awk ward and stilted and affected. And that is much worse even than being impertinent. If you don't learn ail at once to correct your impetuous speech, don't cry yourself to sleep* about your lapses. Resolve to do better to-morrow and forget them— •quick. Make everything a play. Play act that you are a proficient scholar and a very polite young lady. Play that you enjoy your schoolwork as much as you do your recreations. Enjoy every moment as a normal, natural, healthy girl should. And don't bother too much over your shortcomings. CAT SPENDS WINTER WITH ZOO COLONY OF RACCOONS St, Louis, Mo.—An old gray cat, which was adrift and without shelter found a home and friends among the raccoons in the zoo in Forest Park four months ago, and spent the win ter as sharer of their lairs and their food. Attendants have several times attempted to drive the cat away, but she has invariably returned to the raccoons. The raccoons seem to enjoy the cat's company, and although they fight viciously with one another, they never molest her. As a sort of re quital of their hospitality, the cat has adopted some habits of the rac coons. She spends her time in the lairs with them when the weather without is disagreeable, but on bright clays climbs to the upper branches of the tree inside their inclosure and stretches herself, as they do, to enjoy the sun. In addition to her distinction as the party to an unusual fondness for raccoons, the cat is the only mem ber of her species on exhibition in the zoo. GIVES NAPOLEON'S CARRIAGE TO COUNT Ix>ndon.—For several years two descendants of Field Marshal von Blucher, the brothers of Prince Beb hardt and Count Lothar von Blucher, have been fighting in the Silesian courts for possession of Napoleon's carriage, captftired by their famous ancestors at Waterloo. It has Just been decided that the count is the egal owner of the trophy. FLYING WITH SHAFFER LETTERS FROM A DAUPHIN' BOY TO HIS MOTHER Somewhere in France, April 16, 1918. I Dear Mother: It's the dream of I every aviator to have his motor join | the union, but one that is seldom • realized: but they will go on strike |at the most inopportune times. Just as one thinks his motor has signed articles to work faithfully for the duration of the war, it suddenly turns "scab" —generally over a for est or some telegraph wires, or a town, or any number of other squashy landing places. That was what happened to me several days ago. Putman and I had started out late in the evening (6 p. m.) to look for Boche, as 'twas rumored the Boche were keeping these late hours. However,, the hours must have been changed, for nary a Boche did we see, although we flew around for over an hour. Once we almost fired on a biplane, for thinking it was a Boche, down swept Putman in a series of S's with me right behind when we got real close, we were still doubtful about him, so Putman got in position on his tail, and I came tearing at him head on, all ready to press the trigger and then we saw the red, white and blue tail and did not shoot. It was about time to go home then, for we can only stay up a certain length of time, which is limited to the gasoline we carry.. In these little Moranes, the motor is so arranged that the gasoline can all be shut off when gliding from a great height, and that is the way we came horue since we are nearly al ways around 10,000 feet over the lines. This coasting silently home not only saves gasoline but is mighty easy for the pilot—no vibration whatever, and one can take his hands off the controls and let her go herself. Got riding in a limousine beat all hollow! Just Waiting Well, I neared camp—and the ground, I pulled on the gasoline again, and waited for it to catch. , I kept on waiting too for no explosions ensued and all the time I was drop ping, dropping closer to the ground. As luck would have it, I was not high enough to make camp, and nothing but forests were on all sides, with little fields here and there. Finally, giving up hope of the motor starting again I made a sharp turn and dove for a small field, for I had no desire to roost on a forest —and then the motor caught with a bang and roar. I sure pulled up thankfully and was soon hovering over our landing ground. But things never happen in singles, it seems for as I came down close to the ground preparatory to running along the ground on my wheels, I suddenly noticed another Morane right beside and a little lower than me also all set for landing, and from the angle he was going just about the time our wheels had touched the ground we would have ran into each other sure. I have told you before that quick decision is necessary in this game, and this is an Instance —so I prompt ly turned on my motor again and circled the field, while Putman got out of the way, for It wag his zing. And then I landed, the motor stop ping as I rolled along the ground. A Lucky I>ad It could not be started again either and when the mechanics looked in the gasoline tank, they discovered not a drop remained. Which same HARRISBTJRG tlSjjfea. TELEGRAPH FAST FLYING made me call myself a lucky fellow again, for just 10 minutes more on the "lines" and I would never have landed In camp—probably been spread over that small field I dove for, and goodness knows how many ffences, ditches and oumps were in I am flying the fastest machine in the world, am in the only esca drille that flies them on the front, have a wonderful Captain and am treated like a prince, incidentally am being proposed for a "Sergeant," so you see 1 am going up in the world, and am perfectly content to stay in the French army. 1 like it, even if the pay is small, besides, having no expenses to speak of, financial prob lems don't give me gray hairs. I have ordered two new uniforms for my hoped for home coming. Hop ing some day to acquire this tongue trusting lingo is another reason for sticking. It is said French is badly pronounced English, but it's so badly pronounced you would be surprised how few word's you recognize. There are numerous other reasons for stick ing, but they might sound foolish, so I won't enumerate them. Downhearted—No Indeedy Don't pity me BO much for being only a French corporal. It's not so bad as you might think. In fact I our escadrille is the envy and ad miration of every pilot on the front. Am I downhearted? No indeedy! Most decidedly not! Your wandering son, who came out of school with a desire to travel certainly has had his ambition fulfilled, although he never thought any of it would be done among the clouds, and he is still as curious and optimistic as ever and having the time of his young life—except on rainy days. YQU will get a general idea of the lovely time I have had this month when I say I only flew a few times, and the month is half over ye Gods, if April showers bring May flowers there will be enough to make a path home for me. Yesterday I was up again, and that was only a "promenade," as I got Into the air on the excuse that I wanted to try my gun. The fact I wanted to see the sun and promptly pointed my nose up into the bank of clouds in an effort to find it. But those clouds sure were thick, 2,000 feet wide and that was only the first layer. Being about the first layer the sun was a little brighter, but not much and I feared to climb through the second layer for fear of getting lost, as there are no high mountain peaks, like at Pau, to keep one's direction around here. Oh yes, I actually did shoot my gun, but so many planes were in the air," and even running near the target that I did not repeat the performance.

Even if I do get the permis sion, it would not be before the mid dle of August at the earliest, and probably later. And say! Can the lecture dates! If I get the least hint such ordeals are in store for me, - little Walter stays right here in France "tonjours." Just to give you an idea of the decorative effects of a French uniform, the story goes that an American aviator an permis sion to America was standing in a prominent hotel in New York one day, when he was accosted by a smartly dressed lady. "Could you tell me where the Savoy hotel is?" she wanted to know. "No, I couldn't," he answered dubiously, surprised at such a question from one so "chic." You can imagine his further surprise when she fretfully exclaimed! "Oh shoot, these bellboys never know anything." Sunday And Not at Church This is Sunday, April 21, and I am sorry to say I was not at church to-day, and you will probably feel sadder yet when you hear I was fly ing three times to-day. Remember ing your Puritan ideas on the proper enjoyment of the Sabbath, it makes me stop and think as I go tearing through the air hunting someone to kill instead of the things I used to do —go to church and Sunday school. It was very cloudy when we left for the first patrol, and all we did was dive under, through, over and above clouds, with every now and then the Bpche "archies" taking pot shots at us. We might as well have come hotne, for no Boches are up on cloudy dnys, probably due to scarcity of essence. Besides, I was riding behind a motor which was far from healthy. Such coughing and spit ting I never heard. It sure had the consumption bad, and every minute I expected to be let down to the ten der mercies of the trenches, with their "wiggles" and shell holes. But although she shook the machine like a man with a chill she kept running. On account of the clouds we could not fly high, only abbut 1,000 meters, and at this height it was very inter esting especially when we flew over Reims, looking down and seeing the cathedral and the well laid out streets. It la Indeed quite a burg, and I don't wonder "Big Bertha" pays so manv visits. She couldn't miss it. However, when I came back I made a "holler" about the motor. It has ran longer than any other motor of this type, which Is rather ourlous, so much so that the Captain wanted to see how long it would run be fore busting. He found out the sec ond time something sure broke. I was over the lines at the time and I quickly headed for home and for tunately made It, Now I will prob ably get a new motor and while wait ing the Captain kindly offered me f)aro4vax> gM Keep Out Air and Moisture Paro wax protects your Jams, Jellies and preserves N§||ps against deterioration.

So, weather permitting, I should be out flopping around to morrow again. Yes. I said I flew three times to-day. The third time, you know, was merely a little flight around the "piste" to see how my motor was working. While doing tnis, x noticed a young maiden walk ing along a road 1,000 feet below with two other "females." Desiring to see if she was fair or not. I came diving down to have a look. She was too young though, but I fear she thought I was going to fall on her, the way I circled and dove around that vicinity. Yes, my roommate Putman is the descendant of "Old Put" of Revolu tionary fame and he certainly is add ing laurels to the name. Five Boches to his credit. Will write more when something happens—or it rains. WALTER. Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX HE MEANS TO PROTECT YOU DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 16 ad go to business every day. I go out with a young man in the Army once a month, and my father objects to my bringing any boys or girls home. He says I am too young to invite any young man or girl to the house. Don't you think It is more respectable for the young man to come to the young lady's house than the young lady to meet him in the street? r, ... . WEARY. Father is making life a little diffl cult for you, but he recognizes your youth and longs to protect you He wants to keep you a little girl, which is a way fathers have. He wants to make you take his orders, and so he threatens you a little bit. Try to get him to compromise with you—to let you have a little harmless pleasure In order to relax from your work. Sup pose you persuade him to let you have company at your house one even ing a week and to go out with some boy or girl he knows one evening a week. Be In by 11 and tell father Just where you go. Make him see that he can trust you to take care of your self. Two ovenlngs for "good times" are plenty. You can't do your work very well If you get all tired out. rushing around in search of excite ment. Even If you have to end up by only one good time evening, affeet an amicable compromise that will put you and father on a friendly working basis of understanding, NOT WISH DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am the father of Ave ehtldren, having two daughters of IS and 80. My daughter of 20 went to the island with some lady friends and gen tlemen and stayed there over night, and she intends to do this at week ends for the summer, although not engaged to the young man. I am very much against this and I told her thts JUNE 18, 1918. in a -nice way, but she says that j everybody is doing It. That Is all the satisfaction I can get. M. G. It is very bad taste for unchaperon ed parties of young people to go away and remain over night. It does not look well and it gives malicious peo ple a chance to talk—even to destroy an Innocent girl's reputation. More over. it is not dignified and it often affords the wrong sort of a young man. the wrong sort of opportunity.

Perhaps your daughter stays with friends—perhaps the mother of one of the girls goes along; perhaps the boys stay at one hotel or boarding house and the girls at another.

And modern young people seem to Ignore the common sense facts in the case. 8
