T. When we get into & crowd, she pays all her attention to the boys present and neglects other girls, and me. Even my mother has noticed it and asked me why she is so dead until a boy friend of mine comes along. Then she has a lot of pep. I love her and she loves me, but I still would like to go on double dates and in crowds. I am good looking and dress tip-top. I have ‘chances to go out with other girls all the time. I love to dance, am an athlete, and have a car. I take her places and see her four times a week. I have a quick temper which I am trying to control. Please advise me as I am WORRIED.

Answer: I do not know whether you require too much attention from the girl and go fo pieces in a competitive situation, or whether she, actually isn't in love with you and you instinctively feel her seafch for a more satisfactory relationship. If the first is true you will have to train yourself to get along with competition, and if the second is true you would do well to break your engagement. It will not help you to find out which is which by avoiding crowds or double dates. If you marry this girl you will not have her all to yourself. Youll be obliged to mingle with others. - If outsiders cause you trouble now the chances are they will cause trouble in your marriage also. Perhaps you expect too much. If as a child, you were accustomed to the undivided attention of your mother and were jealous of other children, you may carry this infantile attitude over to your bresent situation. . You can’t be all and everything to the girl. The fact that she loves you, if she does, does not mean that she will never find others stimulating. All of us find our accustomed day by day life, with. the same familiar people, monotonous at times and light up when a new face appears on the horizon. It may be that the girl simply is a friendly person and enjoys people, particularly men. Ordinarily this is no cause for jealousy and should not shake your security. You will have to decide whether your uneasiness arises from a real lack in the girl’s love for you or from your own overweening desire for more exclusive devotion than any one person as to give. I do not know enough about either of you to tell which estimate of your trouble comes closer to the truth. JANE JORDAN.

zation’s observance of Civil Service Day, the 57th anniversary of the . signing of the Pendleton Act, establishing the Federal civil service system. A new pamphlet, “The Awkward Age in Civil Service,” will soon be published.

Advances Listed

Chalking up recent advances during its campaign for the merit system, in which the league has heen engaged since its inception, the league enumerated: 1. An increased staff for the Civil Service - Commission, permitting more oral examinations and face-to-face contacts with candidates. 2. Establishment of the Council of Personnel Administration in| June, 1938, on which the report was: “One of the weaknesses of the Federal civil service system in the past has been the lack of a satisfactory method of co-operation between the Civil Service Commission, which conducts examinations, and the officers in the departments and agencies who hire and fire government employees. To meet this need, the Council on Personnel Administration was set up. This council consists of personnel officers of government agencies and representatives of the Civil Service Commission and of the Bureau .of the Budget. Its chairman is appointed directly by the President. This council not only brings the government agencies and the Civil Service Commission closer

improve personnel administration in the Federal government.”

FEDERAL HELP FORBUSINESS I

Tells Boston Group Future of Trade May Lie in Co-operation.

BOSTON, Jan. 16 (U. P.).—Paul V. McNutt, candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, said

today that. the future of American business may lie in a co-operative program. whereby the Government would aid investment and expansion programs, - Discussing government and business at a Boston Chamber of Commerce luncheon, the Federal Security Administrator said: : “To keep our economy balanced . « » New techniques must be worked out to remove and prevent misunderstandings between . . . Government and business. One such method might well be a co-operative program to detect the most promising areas for investment and expansion.”

Describes Business Peril

Believing the individual often unable to determine fields where investment opportunities are sound enough to afford a reasonable expectation of an adequate return, Mr. McNutt said that a specialized exchange economy such as we now have requires a vast co-ordination to insure success. “It is sometimes perilous for the individual businessman to proceed on his own analysis alone,” he said. “Here is a situajion where the Government is in a position to assist business. “It can act as a clearing house . . . to assist business. It can act as a co-ordinator for different lines of business and industry as well as an investigating agent for the discovery of new frontiers on which private enterprise can concentrate in the task of raising living standards.”

Defends New Deal

Mr. McNutt said that an economic system functioning efficiently must have a steady production of goods balanced by an efficient utilization of them. “The rational approach to this problem seems to be to increase consumption by raising the standard of living of our people. . . “I do not maintain that New Deal economics completely mastered the situation or that its business policies were invariably wise. But it is becoming increasingly clear that those policies . . . were such as to recognize the basic character of the immediate problem and . .. were directed toward the heart of it.”

THE CENTURY READY TO “HIGHBALL,” as they say in railroading! Engineer Walter L. Bronson (zbove) swings up into the cab of Number 5449, one of the big Hudson type locomotives which flash at 80 miles an hour across the landscape between New York and Chicago in a day-in, day.out epic of modern railroad speed.

ERE’S EXTRA MILDNESS, EXTRA COOLNESS, AND

EXTRA FLAVOR, and here’s why: Camels are slower-

burning.They have thoroughbred quality through and through. Finer, more expensive tobaccos are used, in the first place. And these choice quality tobaccos are combined into a matchless blend. Next time you smoke a Camel, notice how slowly it burns. For that is your clue to true cigarette enjoyment —

In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned

25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested — slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to

Amendment to the Social Security Act, which provides for state administration through the merit system. It was pointed out that the success of the social security program depends upon the manner in ® which it is administered in the states. Presenting pressing needs for improvement in the Civil Service System, the report enumerated: 1. The appropriations necessary to maintenance. 2. The enactment of the Ramspeck Bill, which would give the President power to place under Civil Service all positions now excluded by law.

the “extras” of mildness, coolness, flavor—and—extra smoking in every cigarette. Camels burned 25% slower, than any other cigarette in recent tests (full details at right). You'll always tejoice over the day you switched to Camels! :

SLOW BURNING — protects natural qualities that mean mildness, thrilling taste, fragrance ... a cooler smoke...

FAST BURNING— & Creates hot flat taste in smoke... ruins delicate : ‘flavor, aroma...

TAKING IT EASY, Engineer Bronson says: “No speed for me in my cigarette, That slower-burning feature makes sense to me. I've been a Camel smoker for years. I know Camels are milder and always taste swell. And —on the side —1 don’t object a bit to getting those extra smokes per pack.” :
