WILHELM VISITS MOTHER’S GRAVE Former Crown Prince Returns to Scenes of Youth, By United Veto a BERLIN, Dec. 17.—Incognito, a strange and somewhat furtive figure, ex-Crown Prince Wilhelm has gone back to Potsdam, seat of his youth and glory, to lay a wreath upon his mother's tomb. Wilhelm saw the tomb for the first time Sunday when he visited the palace. After a lengthy stay beside the grave he left to visit his old haunts about the palace grounds. He returns to Oels castle today, taking his two sons to spend Christmas with him at the country estate. The ex-Crown Prince did not visit Berlin.
"Martha Lee Her Column
Experience Speaks Martha Lee: Not bo lon if ago 1 wrote and anUr-d your advice regarding g t ting married. You told me to wait quite a while. Now I am glad of it. I have asked you several other times what to do and everything turned out just right. Thanking you very much for your advice I am now ready to aay a word to “Lonely Dot.” You told her not to go steady with a man Well. I think the same I was a silly little thing, not quite ycart*, old. when J started going stcay with a fellow. Now I am 18 and am awfully sorry that I tied my self down to one fellow. I have let my love for him grow so strong that I could not Lear to give him up. Yet 1 long for a good time, not with the hoys, hut with my girl friends. X look at ni,v school girl chums and envy them because they go and do as they please. And all I have Is one date after another. When we do break away front each other for'a while, he always comes back and never gives me a minute s vest. He wants to he with mo all the time, and I want to spend my evenings to suit myself He continually tags after me. So I ant telling Lonely Dot that it Is best to wait awhile before she goes with any one steady. At the age of 18. nothing satisfies me. I want life and not plain old dates. JAI* ROSE. Thank you, Jap Rose. I am glad I helped. You say that you have grown to love this boy. I wonder. You probably never have known another boy well. Perhaps he Is just a habit. X should suggest that you simply make other arrangements for your time, when you want to, and tell this boy that you must have some time to yourself. It would be well for yon to cultivate other boy friends, too. If you really love this boy, this change In your habits will not affect that love. And If you only Imagine you are In love. Is Is better to know it now, before you shut yourself off from other friends. What About Children Dear Miss Loc: lam a married w oman 2*l year* old. I have eight children. I am try ing to gel a divorce from my husband. A man I low very well his promised to marry me when T am frc.-. My husband and I do not care for each other any more. This other man ands know we have no right to accept love from each oilier until I am free. He j,romied not to go with other women. Should he go witti other* after making this promise?

they were his own? If he did, he would be unique In history. Or are you thinking of your children at all? Perhaps the man promised to care! for your children But can you expect hitn to keep that promise when lie did not keep his other promise? Oh, foolish, foolish mother! I am afraid you are drifting into trouble. You say that you and your husband no longer care for each other. I wonder whether that is true, or whether you are just temporarily tired of each other, so that anew man and,a new adventure look like certain happiness. That Is frequently the case. Too Much teasing Dear Martha Lee: I am an unhappy girl going to business college. I go with a fellow 20 year* old. He and ray brother are very good p.il* and they continually pick on me. Mother thinks it la funny to see my brother act smart. My friend and I get aiong all right when brother is not around, but the minute he come* in he starts poking on me and my friend thinks it is funny and takes ray brothers part I like to have fun. but if I mention any place to go my friend always has another place to go. so that Is the way It goes. I am at los* to know what to do. Please advise me. BF.BE. Men, especially brothers, like to tease. And you probably take their teasing seriously, which Is just the thing to make them tease you all the more. Laugh at the teasing and they will think a “good sport,” and prob ably stop it. ■ Use the same tactics In regard to the contrariness of your boy friend, jHe just likes to assert himself. Let him propose where you shall go, as long as you always go where he wants to anyway. Then you will be saved the mortification of having him ride right over your wishes. But don’t become too much attached to a man who Is as inconsiderate as that. Twisted Relationships XVar Mins Lee: My father is married for the second time My stepmother has a son by her first husband apd a daughter by my father. What relation am I to the boy and the girl? THE ARGUMENT. You are a stepbrother or stepsister, as the case may be. to the boy, and a halfbrother, or haJfsister, to the girl.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED. From the look Ruth gave me, little Marquise, when I told her of my suspicions about Sydney Carton, I understood she was too dazed to speak. “Yes, I know, dear, ' I began, “you never knew I was a pessimistic philosopher before, did you? You are neither in the habit of hearing me voice pessimistic philosophy about love and life, or Suspicion of my friends. Yet you, as well as I, know that every woman is more or less of a moralist. She not only analyzes her own actions and reactions, but she tries, usually mistakenly, to analyze her husband’s actions and reactions. “In all the years that have come and gone since Adam and Eve made their eXodus from the garden there has never been anything In common In the actions and reactions of men and women.

“You’ll Never Miss the Water Till the Well Runs Dry” A great application of this old proverb to a Growing City is that the Water Supply must be planned a long way ahead because— The Health of every city depends upon pure and wholesome water, carefully guarded from disease-bearing germs. A fully equipped chemical and bacteriological laboratory is an essential part of a water works plant: The Safety of every city is based upon a dependable supply of water always at the call of the Pbre Department. Each Fire Hydrant is a silent sentinel protecting your life and your home against destruction by fire: The Prosperity of every city depends upon an adequate volume of water available for business, manufacturing and transportation. In a city like Indianapolis, about one-half of the water supply is needed for the industries: The Recreation of every city depends upon a supply of water for both outdoor and indoor sports. A wading pool is necessary for a complete park, and every gymnasium has its swimming tank and shower baths: The Beautification of every city depends on a water supply for lawns, parks and street cleaning. Well kept lawns, beautiful parks and clean streets are the show-windows of a city: The Homes \ of every city center around a supply of water. It is required from the first thing in the morning till the last thing at night: Pure and Wholesome Water is not only a NECESSITY for every city, but is the MOST INDISPENSABLE factor in Modern Community Life.

which I know are very different from Jack’s. “I have heard you say many times, Ruth, that you wish you could solve the whys and wherefores of marriage. Os course being a woman like yourself, I knew that you did not mean why the church and State say marriage is not only a lawful but a respectable state. What you were trying to get at was just why two people who are perfectly mad—as we say —about each other before marriage cannot live happily together afterward* and what seems the very climax and fruition of love seems to be the very thing which makes for discord and death of it. “The whole truth of the matter is that we expect too much of marriage: marriage, which is usually built upon a tissue of lies. We are not truthful with ourselves nor with those we love and we expect from all the foolishly acted and senselessly spoken un truth to bring forth truth. “We might as well expect to bring forth a healthy child from parents with diseased bodies. Thrills Expected “From marriage we expect a succession of thrills that will turn the monotony of life into something of

which we vaguely dream but never realize. “Sometimes, Ruth, I have an almost irresistible desire for cnce to be myself with Jack, for once to tell the truth as I am telling it now. I wonder what he would do if T should go to him this minute and explain the whole thing; tell him about the pearls; ask him about the baby; tell him just| what I have done and ask him to tell me just what he nas done —1 mean all those things which neither of us have told each other. ’ "I don’t tink he wculd understand, Leslie.” said Ruth slowly, "and, dear, I don’t think you would understand either.
