Eric Larsen ased across the in- timate little ts le at BailyPorberb face. ianguidly folded his long arms, hunched his shoulders and let the weight rest on his elbows.

“May I tell you why I wanted

you to -this afternoon? I wanted lo Sec if I'd approve of you. I'm so ec- centric in some ways. I may like and approve of a person in the morning and by cocktail time 1 may have nn entirely different idea. So I asked you to have cock- tails. Wasn't that bright of me?" She had the look pt a girl iryiii: to compose herself in patience.

you're doing to ml must be terribly anruslng. but does it occur to you that u're playing“ pretty cruel pract cal joke on a person wii0 hasn't done the slightest harm?"

“I'm not playing a practical Joke. It never was a joke.’ glancedat the diamond ring on her engagement finger.

“I suppose it's useless to say that it's horribly upsetting. or that 1 think you were pretty low to play a trick like tlrat on your father. And I think the way you're taking advantage of me is just rotten." .

His oyes were glowing. “Yes? he said, “but love is always selfish. Ive been checking up on you. I now find yuu'yc been sending messages in your colu-iitn to Van Arden's agitators. Why {rot be smart and come over to the nice side before it's too late?"

, .

When s woman says she loves tire men equally well, it means that she doesn't love either one well enough to be faithful to him. She is just in love With. adventure. and the kick she gets out of ‘having two men desire her. and tho excitement of having clandestine affairs that she considers romantic. i -

My earnest advice to you is to concentrate on one man and live s decent life with him and your child. Being a. part-time wife brings no prndit to any woman. It ends up in her being a social outcast without husband. or home, or a. good name.

3MB. MISS DIX: I am a girl of I6. Have been stepping out sinos I was l6. I have had four serious infstuatlons. Each time going Oil with a steady for a short period, but dropping him when I found on‘ his faults and that we had little in common. .

I am now tired of my latest infatuation, but my parents won't let me break with him because they say that 1 sm breaking too many hearts and that I had better stop now. Myknother asks me why it is thst I make a play for s guy, then. when I have him, let him go? .1 try to tell.her that I nni crazy about him at first, and that it is bet- ter to find out {hat I don't love liim now than after marriage.

Do you think I am wrong in telling boys otf when I no longer carc for them?

R. K.

ANSWER: .No. I think you show wisdom beyond your years in breaking of! with s. boy friend when you get tired of him. but I hope that your experience has taught you something about the differfircc be- tween real love and n passing Janey. _

So many girls lack that nruch intelligence. Because a buy is good- looklng, or a. snappy dancer, or has a cute line, ‘they think they are in love with him and could listen to him forever. So they rush into marri- sge, only to find out. when it is too lato to do them any good, that he bores them to tears. . _ .

The rcrrson thit. I am so opposed to grs keeping steady company is that this irzippciis so oilcu mid so nnariy Ling lives are ruincci. A teen-age: should go about with as inuny boys as shecan so as to be able to compare them and size them up. It is tho only way of safely for her. _ '

DEAR. IVlISS DIX: Do you believe that a girl can fall in love with s. man whom she has nevcr seen but with whom she has carried on a correspondence for several years?

ANXIOUS

ANSWER: I suppose e girl can think herself in love with a boy who is s fluent letter writer. even if she has never seen him. Many ‘a msn who is a dumb talker is a poetic letter Writer who would capture sny young girl's fancy until she saiv him face to face and found him physically repulsive to her.

Sally looked around. she went white, She slumped as if all the fight. all the courage, all the gamcriess had gone out of her.

There was nothing strained about Barney's amiability. He seemed surprised but pleased to find them together. "I Just popped in for amomcnt. Eric. I'm looking for a fellow."

"Anything new on Zorane?"

“I think things are getting ready to break."

"Not at all." Eric went to the ar. "

"What's wrong with that?" he said pleasantly.

She looked at him a moment and groaned. “Oh Barney. won't you please trust me? I can't explain now. but; sometime soon I'll clear "l! everything. Just keep on loving mo. You've got to keep on trust. 1H8 and loving me. I'm in trouble. It's about Pop Kresco.

I've been trying to get in toucir with you ever since."

"Why?"

"WhY?" Sally faitered. “But. darling. he can force me to do it. and if I do. it will absolutely ruin me. Couldnt you tall: to him?”

"What could I say to him?"

"You roulrl use pressure! He knows tho CviobP will print whnt you write. You've been awfully tlcccrit to him. You were. in your last night's story. You\couid make things pretty uncomfortable for him if you vrantcd to."

“Look. Nail. You're n smart girl. Yvlrvc got yourself into this spct. You're smart enough to get out of it without dragging me in." ~

She looked gt him steadily, ex- Deiliirig him to smile quickly. Wilh- drawing it or denying it. intimating that he hadn't meant it. Her heart nave a prrcentlble little thump. and it hogan in hurt, He meant it. He wasn't going i0 retract it.

She was so disappointed in him shc could hnve cried. Even if he was still furious. suspicious cud jealous. he shouldn't be letting her down.

"Why should I?"

"Because you know how much 1 lore you." e

“Ah. was." Barney said siriiy. "Lovc. True love. If you love me us much as you say. why don't you show some courage?"

Sally put the handkerchief down. "All right," she snapped, "1 will!" l-lo looked surprised. He slowly

llm ls Summary llfTho European Recovery Plan '

-__- . /

(By The Associated Press What it is: Four and a quarter years of United States h to en- able European countries lng,to help themselves at the some time in robuiiding their own economies and rte-establishing a healthy flow of trade.

What it would cost: Between 315.100.000.000 and 01181303113000 in United States funds, depending on prices and other uncertain factors. Congress is asked to auth- orize a flat $l'l.000.000.000 for the whole peiriod. including 06.830.000.- 000 to last through Juno 30. 1940. Who would run the program: A new economic co-operation ed- ministration. laiioly independent but responsible to the Secretary of State in matters affectingUnlted States foreign bailey. There would be a SZiLOOO-e-Year administrator. a $17,500 deputy and a 535.000 spe- cial representable in Europe with the rank of ambassador.

Wh this is being proposed: As Presi ent Truman etpllins it. the "controlling" reason is to "maln- tain a civilization in which the Amerdua way of life is rooted" b1 preventing Western Europe from surfenderlng in "totalitarian _con- tro .'

Which countries would get help: The 16 which got together earlier this year and agreed to help them- selves if the United States would help them. However. ti“ 5°" i! left open to Russls, or any other country willing to subscribe the self-help and other features of the program.

What sort of help: For the most part. commodities _ of a Brest variety ranging from wheat. to coal mining machinery. Th9" commodities would be riirchmd outside the United States. espec- ially from other western hemis- phere countries. as far as Pflllibiw to prevent the United States‘ from running short. Loans ‘arwell as putright grants are proposed. . . What thenuertlcipating countries. must promise: To silii llréiliiflht! with the United States undertak- ing my build up their own farming and industry, stabilize their cur-

rency. and co-opeirate amen! themselves to help themselves: to supply the United States with

"reasonable" amqiiiiill 0! "W ml!‘ erials for stockpiling purposes: i0 "pay" for what they get by B6111!!! aside funds in their own curren- cies t.) be spent only with United States approval; to report each quarter what they have done with their aid. v

Where the United Nations fits in: The President is authorised to

its agencies in carrying out the program, and to pay for such hell)- Reports to Conflress on the oper- ation of the program would be made available to the U.N'..\and agreements between the United States and participating countries would be registered with the U.N. if required by the U.N. charter.

Chances of success: The State Department says; "A program of United States assistance to Euro- pean recovery can do no. more than provide the promise of re- covery. It cannot assure recovery." That, the Department says. de- pends finaliy upon the people of Europe themselves.

Owing to its relatively mild character, tho common cold lsnot a reportable disease; and conse- quently there sro no reliable sta- tistics concerning its incidence for tho country as a whole or even for any large Iwiflphlc ares.

There is general agreement among investigators inthis field that the average person suffers at least two colds in the course ofa year.

The cost oi drugs and medical care must also be added. Accur-‘ ate statistics on this subject are

not available, so that it is neces-

sary to resort to speculative esti-

mates. On the assumption that

every family in the United states

spends on an sverago of $10 a

your for drugs and medical care

in the treatment of colds. the total

amount spent for these items

would be in the neighborhood of

$i00.000.000.

Another factor which enters iri-

to the accounting. is the cost to

employers resulting from lost pro-

duction arid disrupted routine.’ This item is extremely difficult to

estimate, and no attempt is made

here to give even approxlmatei figures. It. is certain, howevera. that the annual cost of colds to employers is very considerable for the country as a. whole.

On the basis of the figures cited above, it is thus estimated that the cost of the common oold to the American people is well over a billion dollars s year. Although the common cold is generally con-y elder-ed a minor infection, any dis- ease that runs to such astrono-

rnlal figures in cost must be rat- ed high in the list of enemies of the public health. -
