Advice to the Lovelorn Has a Frieiul Dear Miss Fairfax: ' My girl friend, who is not very attractive but well liked by her friends, two years ago met a young man whom she fell 'dearly in love with. Since then She has seen him once a week. But he has paid no more attention to her than to the rest or our girl friends. Now. Miss Fairfax, my friend does nothing else but think of him. Dur ing business hours she is distracted by the thought of him: She tried to read and think of other impor tant things. She went to evening school to help her forget. But none of these things have helped her. 1 want toilielp her, but I don't know what to do. 1 know the young man very well and am convinced through conversation that he doesn't dislike iter, but is simply unaware of her feelings. She does not show what she feels when she is in his company, though she is verv liappv then. A FRIEND. 1 must admit that 1 share your feeling tli'at this is a very difficult situation to remedy, however much you wish to help your friend. The utmost that you could do. I should say, is bring her and the young man together, though, of course, not too pointedly. Invite them to your house with a group of others, it. is quite possible that he would come to care for her if lie knew her better. That is, of course, if iiis affections are not already engaged. In any case, a genuine love-experience is an en viable means oi development for tliis girl, liven tNougli her love should not be returned. \ Deferred Engagement Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am eighteen and have been going about with a man of thirty four for about two years. A month before peace was announced be told me that he would marry me as soon as the war was over. So when the news came I thought it most natural for Us to be engaged. Going lioine from the theater, 1 suggested this. He said lie could give no definite answer at 1 lie moment, because my people dislike him. But he asked me to be reasonable with him and allow him two weeks to think it over, after Which he would call me up and let me know the result. 1 was astonished at this and told him if he could not decide within two years lie surely could not within two weeks. I also said 1 would tell my people that everything was over between us, but he asked me not to do this, saying that after all it was not his decision but my own. Now, Miss Fairfax, if he writes me, do you-think that I should answer him or trust him after such an act'.' 11. X. As you have told this story, I con fess it does not sound as though this man were eager for marriuge. If I were you 1 would try to put him out of my mind as far as possible. No girl wishes an unwilling bridegroom and a spirited girl cannot of course tolerate being placed in the position of waiting for a man's decision. In any case. I feel that you are still too young to marry. KEHVICE* AT OIIEY NIIOI.OH Services will be held in the Uhev Sholom Temple. Second and South streets, litis evening, at 7.15 o'clock, Ralibl oi.uts .1.

HARBOR War Labor Board Says II Has Exhausted All Efforts at Settlement By Associated Press New York, Jan. 9.—Except for a! I small fleet of ferryboats, tugs and | lighters engaged in debarkation of homecoming troops and loading of perishable supplies for the American Expeditionary Forces, harbor ship ping was at a standstill to-day as the result of the strike of 15,000 marine workers in an attempt to force arbi tration of their demands for higher wages and an eight-hour day. Not only privately-owned craft but the boats of the Railroad Ad ministration, 1,200 in number, were I tied tip and the sailing or berthing j of ocean steamships, as well as the | ferrying of passengers between Man i hat to n and its neighboring boroughs | and suburbs was impossib e. Only Two lloats Operate | Suspension of ferry service left Staten Island, New York City's great ■ mid-harbor borough, completely iso j lated except for two small boats op-' crating to and from Perth Aniboy, on the New Jersey shore, and launches able to carry only small groups of passengers. From New- Jersey and Long Is and the only ac cess to New York was byway of the East river bridges and the subways land tunnels under the East and I North rivers, in which trains were j crowded and entrances choked witli 'delayed travelers throughout the day. Reroutes Commuters j The Railroad Administration re- I routed New Jersey commuting trains j in an effort to relieve the congestion ! after the closing of the ferries. West | Shore passengers were sent to the i Erie terminal at Jersey City, afford | ing connection with the Hudson [ tubes, and travelers on the Central 1 Railroad of New Jersey front points beyond Elizabeth were transferred I there to Pennsylvania trains, running ! direct to the tunnels. However, j nearby Jerseynten using the Central i were detrained at the ferry terminal 1 and were forced to Journey over | a mile afoot or in crowded trolley I cars to the under-river railroad. i At all the New Jersey and Eong Island ferry barns long lines of 'trucks, many of them laden with per ! ishable foodstuff's for New York I markets, awaited a change in, the ; situation which might land them in I the streets of the metropolis. The I tieup left New York with a limited j stock of fresh foods, and the milk 'supply, already seriously curtailed ! by the "strike" of the New Jersey ' Dairymen's League, was further I threatened when shipments front | New Jersey halted. Movement of | coal, essential to maintenance of the I limited supply which the city's stor t age facilities can accommodate, also | was suspended. At noon the Lackawanna Railroad. ' whose ferry crews have a union of JANUARY 9, 1919. their own, had declined to join the ! strike of the Marine Workers Aftiii-I ] ntioii and the company's boats were | ] carrying passengers between Hobo j ken and New York side. Washington, Jan. 9.—War Labor I Board officials here to-day said the I board had exhausted its powers in j efforts to adjust the difficulties be tween harboi* workers and their em- I ployers at New York and could do nothing but let the strike take its course until a favorable situation de veloped. Life's Problems Are Discussed A woman has written me a long ! letter asking me to explan why a ; certain fate has seemed to pursue j her through life. She suys in effect j that since childhood she has, as it | were, been carefully "censored." In ; other words, her life lias been made • miserable by .constant fault-finding I and criticism from those most close j ly associated with her. I At first it was an older sister who , tyrannized over her unmercifully. She had a brief respite when she ' went to school, and there found her self in a much more congenial ut niosphere. Her natural g&yety of temperament asserted itself and she j made many friends. But when she I invited them to her home, Older Sis. I tor respited it and made her disap | proval of them felt. She made sar -1 castle comments or. their dress, man j ners end conversation, and treated them with si oh supercilious conde ' sccnsion that riiey were careful not. • to repeat their visits. The mother, who was completely under the influence of Older Sister, I refused to interfere, and poor little | Cinderella was gradually ignored by j those to whom she had become at i tached. She was rich in money, in | youth, in health and good looks; yet ■ very poor in friends and companions. The situation become worse as she I became older and attracted suitors, j Then Older Sister, who must have j been a frightful character, cut loose. | She was so frankly rude that it took more courage than most suitors pos j sessed to continue their attentions. | There was one, however, who seemed positively to enjoy bandying j sarcasms 'With her. He came again ■ and again, quite undaunted by Sis- I ter's vile manners. And the hero j ine of this true story was so thrilled j by his courage that she married him. Here all should have ended hap- I pily. But this is stern realism, not I romance. The poor lady writes that | she had been married hut a short ! time when she discovered that Hus j band was only a masculine replica j of Older Sister, and that in this case, | anyway, the female of the species I was not more deadly than the male. He Criticized everything she did and everything she said. He con demned her for all the things she didn't do and didn't say. If I can judge by her letter, the poor soul never knew which were the greater, her sins of omission or her sins of commission. In fact, it would appear that If Older Sister were a talented nagger, Husband soared far above her and proved himself a genius In that line. Finally lie died, but he left Ills un fortunate wire a legacy in the shape of an invalid mother-in-law, from whom he evidently inherited his powers of flinging verbal vitriol. The writer adds that she has become so self-conscious, constrained and shy that it is no longer any pleasure for her to mingle with her fellow beings and that she would never dare con sider the question of a second mar riage. It lias always seemed to me that the theory of reincarnation is the only one that satisfactorily explains ilie injustices and inequalities of life. If this theory is true, both Husband and Older Sister will spend long ages in paying their debts to tliis victim of their bitter and un disciplined natures. There seems to he some law that the gentle and sensitive man or woman invariably chooses as a life companion one of those robust fiends whose main purpose is to make those about them miserable. This woman might have spared herself much suffering if when she had arrived at years of discretion she had had one grand, formal row with Older Sister. Rows, like every thing else, have their psychology. A succession of informal ones, like familiarity, breed contempt. Your opponent sometimes comes out ahead, and sometimes you do. But one carefully staged, formal row— one crowded hour of glorious strife is almost invariably efficacious. If my correspondent had said to her sister. "This is my home Just as much as it is yours. I have just as much right to receive my friends here and make them welcome as you have to receive yours. And while they are here I do not.propose io allow you to make them !1! Nt ense or unhappy by your offensive manners. ' If you were offering me kindly advice in a sisterly spirit I should appreciate it. But you are not. Yfu are merely making me the victim ot your censorious nature, and you can not do It. From now on until you show a change of heart and treat me and my friends with proper courtesy T shall utterly Ignore you. I shall not even know that you I have considered the matter from all standpoints and this is my unal terable attitude."
