”>Ve don't believe in anonymous
communications ordinarily, but
we are going to print this letter
for the benefit of its writer and
other girls. We suggest that it
be clipped and mailed to all
errmg boy friends, for we know
there are some things that can
be answered better by other girls
f> r their bey friends than by us.
This letter, incidentally. mi<rht be
considered a supplement to our
article :n answer to C. (Vs in-
quiry. "How to Win a Girl." And
we think the boys will appreciate
it. for while present-day males
are undoubtedly badv spoiled, we
ii"n't believe there is one with
a heart so dead that he never
to himself hath said. "Gee. I
w-ant to be popular with women.
How can I be a knockout?”
Here is' the answer:
* * *
Pear Miss Flo:— ,
1 have any number of nice
boy friends who seem to be try-
ing to win me in the manner C.
C. considers most effective—that
is. by being indifferent, so I know
whereof I speak when I assure
him that indifference will never
get any man very far with an
intelligent girl.
Every' Sfirl and woman living
longs for attention—be she ever
sophisticated, and. of course,
they all want to be flattered and
:o be made love to.
But mere necking, petting, and
general caveman stunts will soon
wear out the intelligent girl's
| interest in a man.
There are many other ways of
making love. Empty flattery
doesn't go with ail girls. It helps,
j of course, but being a mere sheik
. will not satisfy the girl who has
a brain beneath her boyish bob.
Money? Well, it helps, to be sure,
but we all know girls who pass
up the boy with the cash to step
gay!y to the movies (or remain
at home* with the poor but win-
- me boy who presents his single
rose with flattering tenderness.
• Boys, take it from one who
knows—you can all be knockouts
with the ladies if you will only
follow the most elementary rules
of courtship. It’s so simple to
deal with women. All they ask
are the things any man can learn
to give.
Attention—that’s what gets
them. Indifference—never!
And the attentions need not
be costly ones, either. There
are any number of girls who

INSPECTOR HERE
BLIND. -SHE CLIMBS ALPS
Now V ml,. July 25.—A blind
0 i an wi:o climbed the Alps and
"did" all the big art museums
of Germany, France and Italy,
returned Monday aboard the Cu-
nard liner Aurania after “seeing”
Europe from one end, she said,
to the other. • • «•
Mr-. A. B. Adams, blind since
infancy, a teacher in Cleveland,
Ohio, of piano and voice, said
she inspected the battlefields, en-
tered into the boulevard life in
Paris, attended the operas in
Milan and Paris, and spent much
time in the Vatican library at
Rome.
"I am blind in vision,- but not
:n feeling,” she explained, “I
saw with my oars and fingers,
when 1 came to a great city I
got a competent guide, and I
challenge anyone to describe the
great murals of St. Peters or
the canvases of the Louvre bet-
ter than myself. I saw them,
uist as pronto with their faculties
■■■' sight see them, because
through my car I stamped the
image upon by brain.”
Mrs. Adams went to Europe
last y, ar with a young woman
from Cleveland as chaperon, but,
she said, the young woman in
two months tired of traveling
ami fried to persuade Mrs. Adams
Knowing Italian
and French, however, Mrs. Adams
aid she "went it alone,” and
: if site hadn’t she would never
comply with the! have “seen” Pompeii or flown
i Paris to London.
Last Friday and Saturday were
busy days for several folks in
this city. J. C. Keller, of Lub-
bock. Texas license and weight
inspector of this district, was in
town and he made things lively
and no mistake. It is the law
that there must be two number
plates on every motor vehicle,
one in the front of the maehim
and one in the ba laced in
plain sight of all who face the
vehicle. A notice had been pre-
viously run by Sheriff Payne to
this effect but several folks had
either not seen it or had over-
looked the matter altogether. On
the days mentioned Mr. Keller
arrested a large number of driv-
ers who had to pay a fine and
buy the extra license plate for
their car.
It cost the victims 812.70 in
all to pay the fine and buy the to return home,
extra number. Several dollars
were collected by Mr. Keller
while in the city front those who
had failed to
law.
WARNING OF PELLAGRA
Jackson. Miss., July 25._The
Mississippi delta is threatened by
a serious outbreak of pellagra,
Dr. F. L. Underwood, State
Health Officer, declared Monday.
Unless the situation is remedied
at once by proper diet for the
people of that flooded section,
it will continue to spread, he said!
No deaths have been reported
according, to Dr. Underwood, who
said that a number of cases of
insanity have occurred as a re-
sult of the disease.
Lack of milk was attributed
by Dr. Underwood as one of the
outstanding causes for the dis-
ease.
Haste makes waste, especially
in matrimony, because it usually
has to be done over again.

perative plan during the en-
.irg scholastic year. Three vo-
1 at nai courses will be* placed

auto mechanics, and agriculture.
T _• iys taking these courses
will a.:“mate between work and
study For a period of six weeks
they will be in the classrooms at
the ( liege, receiving instruction
n the principles and theories
ig at the foundation of the
co r - they pursue. Thar, is
V be followed by another period
f weeks in industry where
*ach boy will be assigned a job
which he may work for pay.
The jobs, for the most part, will
be in the electrical industries, up-
to-date farms, and at the well*
appointed commercial dairies in
tn< vicinities of Arlington, Fort
Worth, and Dallas.
In general, the boys will re-
eive enough money while on the
job for six weeks, if they are I
economical, to pay n: st -f their i
expenses while in jchof-i the f.-l-!
Sowing six weeks. Howevqr, earn-
ing one’s expenses while in sch> 1, i
or working one's way through I
school, worthy as that may be. j
is not the main r-Kje-1 f the c*-- 1
operative plan. That is a mere j
incident to it. The chief thing,
in view is its educational Yakut
—the proper union of theory ar. I
practice. College education is j
often criticised and even revile,: !
for being impractical. Graduate-
are denounced as helpless—help- j
less because they have read about ’
and been told about so many
more things than they have ever
had an opportunity to touch
handle, and master in a practical I
way. It is just this weakres- j
so universally recognized in the
American system of education,
that the part-time, co-operative
plan seeks to alleviate. Bovs of
limited financial means who de-
sire to take advantage of this
plan should apply at once to
Mr. D. A. Bickel, Registrar of the
North Texas Agricultural College,
at Arlington, Texas.
