As Ihero :,re seven girls lu the family. my mother wants ua to have dates when we have attained th ago of 16. I would like to ask a few questions 1. When ts kissing dangerous? 2. How to hold love at the agn of 17. 3. Are petting parties wrong? 1 4. How to be popular with the opposite sex. 5. How to resist temptations? ALL ALONE. 1. Almost always, for you. 2. Why try, at 17? Don’t worry about that for a few years, my dear, if you wont to stay "sweet sixteen." 3. Wrong? Well, that all depends on how you look at it. But they, too, are dangerous, dear, and don’t let any one tell you a girl cannot hold a boy’s interest without pet ting. 4. There is not set rule for popu larity. Be friendly, and peppy; dance well and be a good listener; know when to be serious and when to be gay; be Interested in people— are a few rules. 5. Temptation can be resisted only through character. Some people are strong by nature: others gain strength against temptation through training. Left Waiting Dear Mies Lee: I am a girl 19 years old. About four years ago I fell in love wtth a boy of good reputation, three months younger than I. After a month I found It was puppy love, and forgot all about him. About three years passed before I heard from him again. He called me one night and asljed whether he could come over some evening. He came, and when he left asked when he could come again. I said to call me. Two weeks passed and I did not hear from him and I felt my self falling more and more In love with him. Our glrle’ dub gave a wiener roast and I invited him. He accepted. I did not hear from him again, and he failed to come on the night of the party. A few days later, while I was with a crowd of girls, he picked us up in his car and took us to work. He never said anything about the night of the party. I am very popular, a good sport end good-looking. Someone told me he was going steady with another girl, but I do not believe it. Please te lime how I can find out why he "gypped" me without making myself bold. CHICKIE. Forget it and him, Chlckie. If the man had had a good explana tion he would have given it. Y. W. C. A.

Please do not think mother, that I object to any friendship that you might make, but 1 want to, if pos sible, insure you from some man j who might only be a fortune-hunter and who would expect that he might settle himself in a life of luxury if he married you and then make you miserable. Perhaps I am saying things that I should not. Perhaps you have no intention of making this man any thing more than a friend, and no one knows better than I how hard it Is for a woman of your kge to find a man who might be a friend without boring her. I have never known a man of your age who was not selfish—even more selfish than the average young man. And you have been Independent for so long that I am afraid for you. My friend seems to think that you are quite suited to each other. Con sequently, If you do not give him the impression that you are a rich woman I can not but think that a friendship between you two might prove very happy for all concerned. I am smiling, mother dear as I write this. I never thought that I would have to do anything of the kind, and I hope you will take It exactly as I have written it. In a note in which Miss Anderson enclosed the month’s bills, she said you were well and looking better than she had ever seen you. This made me think that you are quite happy. I-e.slie and the boys Are very well, indeed. She has been packing up the apartment and we expect to leave for Pittsburgh the last of next week. She has gone bugs on the subject of Early American antiqui ties, and in this I am sure you would be much In sympathy for I have never known a family that had as many beautiful pieces of old mahogany and other heirlooms as ours. The other day informed me that she hdd had the paper taken from the walls of an old house and was going to have It put on the walls of our dining room. I had no idea that such a thing could he done, but we must live and leßrn. for she explained that this was done very frequently nowadays. Miss Anderson seems to think that you are well enough to do without her companionship. I want you to keep her as long as you wish her, and as long as she will stay. I wish you could see your new grandchild and Leslie, and T extend to you a most cordial invitation to come and see us for at least a month as soon as we arrive in Pittsburg. I think you will enjoy yourself with Leslie more than you ever did before, as your tastes for old furni ture, I know will prove of inex haustible interest. Affectionately your son.

Front Drive Racing Cars to Make Debut Here in Speedway Sweepstakes First Arrivals at the Speedway, (Left to Right)—.lean Marsenac, Kmle Olsen and Ralph HePalma’s en try, a Miller motored flyer. First Arrivals at Work Tuning Up for 500-Mile Auto Classic. By Blytlie Q. Hendricks Front wheel drive cars will make their appearance In the annual 500- mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time in the history of the event. The new creations, designed and built by that master automobile en gineer, Harry Miller, will be driven by little Bennett Hill and the vet eran Dave Lewis, according to in formation obtained today. The mo tors are the conventional Miller "eight in a row.” One of the cars, owned by Cliff Durant, millionaire manufacturer and driver, already is on hand for the big race. Dave Lewis will be its pilot, according to “dope.” Carefully Guarded Carefully shrouded from view un der a covering reaching to the floor it stands in the shop of the H. C. S. factory waiting to he tuned up for the great race. Just when it will swing into action no man knoweth. As the car has been seen several times on California board tracks there is no particular reason for se crecy. Owing to minor troubles as prevalent In new cars as measles and whooping cough among children, the car never has hud a chance to show its ultimate speed possibilities The car was built by Miller to be driven by Jimmy Murphy, the Mil ler ace, and was to have been jtprung on an unsuspecting world, along with another piloted by Benny Hill at the dirt track races at Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 15. 1924. How ever the cars were not ready for that race, and the flying Jimmy never sat behind the wheel as he was killed in a smash-up in that day. Sold to Durant After Murphy’s death the car was completed and was sold to Durant. The purchase prjee Is said to have been in the neighborhood of 510,006 Possibilities of four-wheel drive cars long have occupied attention of motor car designers. Theoretically, the dangers of skidding Is lessened in this type of car and application of power to the wheels more posi tive. Many experimental cars have been built, but with the exception of the famous old front-drive mon ster of Walter Christie, almost two decades ago. none of them has been successful to a marked degree. Christie’s car, with cylinders like buckets, and combining the temper ment of an enraged lion, a balky mule, an operatic star and a fickle maiden, was capable of tremendous bursts of speed when it was In the proper mood. At other times it re fused to budge. Performance of the new Millers will be watched with even more than the usual interest, attached to any thing from the hand of the great designer. There is an old saying at the Speedway that when De Palma Is on hand early, watch out. If that Is the case then the hard driving, hard luck driver will stand a lot of scrutiny this year. I)o Palma Early His two cars, a stub tailed dirt tracker and the car he will take to the starting line May 50, already are here. Both are Millers and they are In the hands of Jean Marsenac, a familiar figure in every race since he came over with the Ballot outfit Just after the war, and Ernie Olsen, formerly of Murphy's outfit. This Franco-Scandlnavian alliance is ca pable of making the most refractory motor sit up on Its hlng legs and purr, and they are working hard on the De Palma busses. Ralph him self Is due Tuesday and It never is long after he reaches the Speedway before the hum of his motor is heard flying into the first turn. Marsenac was with Joe Boyer’s outfit last year and gave a pint of blood for a transfusion which failed to save Joe's life following the crash at the Altoona, Penna., Speedway last Labor day. De Palma’s race car is the same chassis driven by Frank Elliott here CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST Lesson-Sermon PROBATION AFTER DEATH” SECOND CHURCH Delaware at Twelfth at.

Among other entries to he made soon, but not yet officially given out, are said to be those of Leon Duray, who will pilot the Miller driven by Fred Comer last year, and Pietro Borodino, who will drive the Flat flyer. Duray put up a terrific fight in 1922 until his Fron tenac burned out. Borodino has been driving his Fiat with moderate success on the coast during the winter. The In dianapolis Speedway with its low banks and sharp turns, closely ap proximating road conditions, will probably be to his liking, and he can bo counted on a dangtrous con tender. W.C.T.U.
