IS LOVE THE BUNK? Have vou a puzzling love affair on which you need friendly advice? I Write to Julia Jerome, care this newspaper. If you wish a personal reply I please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. ▼ yuLQf**? A sophisticated young man of Memphis wants to know. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I have been about a lot and I’ve known a lot of women, but I haven’t found one yet worth falling in lo.e with, in fact, I have come to doubt that any such thing as love exists. I’ve had every opportunity to feel it and yet I just don’t get that way. -I find women too easy and too stupid to be t:’cen seriously. Now, I’m asking you—isn't. all this talk of great loves the bunk? SOPHISTICATE. My dear young man. love is not the bunk. An emotion which has in spired the greatest literature, the finest dramas, the most sublime deeds, as well as the most terrible ones, in history must exist. But this kind of love is not com mon. It is not to be found every day, nor every year—or perhaps in every lifetime. That is the reason it is material for great drama and literature. Great love is rare; and when it is found it creates great ►beauty and perhaps great havoc. Do you want to know why great love is rare? Because most people are incapable of insp.Jng it. Because most people are too selfish, too Indo lent and too ready to accept a sec ond-rate affection and say that great love is the bunk. But few men are capable of being great lovers. Just having a lot of women does not mean anything. And so, my dear, Sophistocate, if you really want love, learn to inspire it. -o A NEGRO AT THE NORTH POLE Matthew Henson, the last to ap pear in the role of explorer, ®as chosen by Commodore Peary to ac company him tc the North Pole. Both Cmmodore Peary and Commodore Macmillan state that Henson was chosen because of his peculiar abi'ity to grapple with the problems of the Arctic.

He did not confide to his friend his growing determination to try to escape. It would do no good, and perhaps the little brown man would get hurt. Underfoot the earth was a mass of slippery mud which made every step precarious. Up the river about four hundred yards there was another gang of dark men working under a gang boss. Carl measured the dis tance and decided that the other boss was too far away to stop him -f he should carry out his design. His chance came sooner than he had expected. He was staggering up to the levee with his sand sack, when he lost his footing and fell. As the sack hit the ground it burst, spread ing its damp brown contents on the muddy ground. The gang boss cursed him with fluent vileness, and as the youth was getting to his feet, the man carried out his threat made a little while be fc and launched his heavy booted foot into the youth’s side. Carl was sick with pain, but rolling over quick ly, he evaded another kick, aimed at his head, and got to his feet. For an instant he stood swaying, collecting his senses. His young jaw went rock-like, and the color drained Do You Want a Baby?

Suddenly he had be come a primitive in breech-clout in tent on the destruction of an enemy. The thin veneer of civilization dropped from him, and he was pos sessed of a savage rage which sur prised him when he thought of it later. The gang boss, seeing the di sheveled youth with the terrible light in his eyes advancing toward him, started fumbling ineffectually at his great coat as though searching for his pistol. His eyes grew larger with terrified astonishment. He hadn’t expected any resistance. Secure in his position as boss, vith a revolver tucked in an inner pocket, he never dreamed that one of these dark men would have the courage to attack him. He shouted weakly as Carl closed in on him, then the youth’s strong young hands clamped like a vise on his throat. Writhing wildly, the large man slithered down into the mud, Carl atop him, throttlin • him with a mad strength. The man’s struggles were becoming fainter. Hotshot shouted a warning. Along the bank of the river the other gang boss was running as fast as he could toward the struggle. In his hand he waved a large pistol. It was evident that he feared to shoot from so far away for fear of hitting Carl’s victim. Unheeding Hots'ot’s cry, Carl re moved his hands from the gang boss s neck and struck tho fallen man full in the face several times. The other members of the crew scattered wildly, shouting in fear at the unexpected development. By now the other boss was near to the seen of the fight. As Carl rose to his feet, the man leveled the big pistol at him, taking deliberate aim. For a paralysed in stant the youth faced the weapon, its long black barrel trained directly at his head. In fascinated horror he saw t’ e ponderous hammer of the enormous weapon move back slowly, a the pressure of the man’s finger on the trigger increased. Then there came a terriffle roar, and a sharp burst cf flame. (End of Installment One) + - — CLASSIFIED ADS i--—-:-♦ belt wanted—male DBTECTIVK8—Travel. make secret Investi gations.

Salads are easy to prepare, are filled with minerals and salts, and seem to ‘‘touch the spot” on a hot day — par ticularly if they are cool and crisp. Use a little sugar whenever possible. It adds a quick-energy fuel to the salad and tends to accentuate the full flavor of the other ingredients. RASPBERRY PUNCH 1 cup raspberries 1 cup currants 1 lemon 1 pint boiling water 1 cup sugar 1 cup tea Crush fruit and strain through a cloth. Without taking the pulp from the cloth, put it into another dish and pour the boiling water over it. Drain off, but do not squeeze or it will be muddy. Add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Crol tho roughly before adding the fruit juice and tea. ASPARAGUS SALAD Cook the asparagus in salted water. The dressing consists of one-half tea spoon salt, a quarter teaspoon pepper, a half teaspoon sugar, a quarter tea >spo^n onion juice, one tablespoon vinegar and five tablespoons of olive oil. Mix and beat until thick and white. Keep the asparagus in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then arrange the stalks on salad plates and serve the dressing in a sauceboat.
