(International Soundphoto) As We Live DON'T LET YOUR PALS CHASE HIM FOR YOU One of the mistaken kind nesses in life is for a girl's friends to try to further her ro mance by telling a boy how she feels about him. That is what is causing trouble for the 15-year- old girl who wrote: Q "About three years ago, I mat a very nica boy. Ha Jilt ed ma for daler. many times but I was not allowed to go. I axplainad this to him, ha understood and was very nica. Now I am allowed to go out In a group but ha navar asks ma. My friends tell him I still Ilka him but ba navar says anything to that. Do you think ' it will turn him against ma whan friends tell him that I lika him? Is there anything ' I can do to win him back?" (A) If you want this boy to like you, for heaven's sake tell your friends to stop trying to match -make for you. Noth- ing will . turn a boy away from a girl more quickly than that. I am sure they mean well and thought of breaking you their tactics are bad. No boy likes to hear second ban-asses him and it makes him mad to think a girl has been talking about him behind his back. Naturally he assumes that you have been doing this or how would your friends know how you feel about him? van aiicnitr yuui friends, you will have won the first round. Then take the ag grcssive approach and invite him to do something with you. That will not be a case of "chasing him" as you really owe him an Invitation after the number of times he invited you out. Invite Him To Party You could invite him to school party, to be your escort at a party one of your friends is giving, or you could organize a party or picnic of your friends and invite him with the rest of the group. Be especially nice and attentive, but don't embar- Dr. Htulock Tele-fun by Warren Goodrich iW3 Vrf "It's on automatic switch Mr. firefly Installed.

Boys in the early teens are fickle, just as girls are. They go from one girl-to another. Don't take this matter too seriously. If he shows no further interest in you, let it go at that. There are plenty of oth er boys. Don't eat your heart out over one. If you have a personal prob lem, write Elisabeth Hurlock in cara of this newspaper. (Copyright 1952, General Features Corp.)

Angell wrote to Capt Cli-rence Ash that, while no hearings are scheduled on the proposal to deepen the bar from 40 feet to 48 feet, he has two resolutions before the House rivers and harbors subcommit tee calling for further investiga tion of the river entrance by Army engineers. British Food Subsidy Cut To Offset Higher Benefits London (U.PJ Britain's in creased social benefits are to cost the national exchequer an additional 125,000,000 pounds a year. The cost, however, will be off set by the cut in government food subsidies announced at the last budget, The national insurance minis ter, Osbert Peake, announcing the step in Parliament, revealed that family allowances (in creased from five shillings to eight shillings for every child after the first) will take 37,000 000 pounds; Insurance benefits and retirement pensions will cost a further 63.000,000 and na tional assistance 25,000,000 pounds, The new retirement pensions and increased family allowances will start in September this year. Other benefits will take effect toward the end of July. The cut in food subsidies an nounced by Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A. Butler In his budget is 160,000,000 pounds. It is to ease the burden on the lower Income groups caused by the food subsidies cut that the Increased social benefits are to be introduced. Payments Larger In addition to the cut in food subsidies, Britain's wage earn ers are to pay higher national insurance contributions. At pres ent, an adult male pays S shil lings and a penny and his em ployer pays four shillings and fourpence weekly. As from October, the worker and the employer each will pay an additional eight pence, bring ing the total weekly contribution to the exchequer to 10 shillings and nine pence. Contributions by women and Juvenile workers who do not pay as much as an adult man will rise proportionately. Before the new schemes can become law, however, a bill will have to be approved by Parlia ment. The new benefits include na tional Insurance (which em braces unemployment, sickness, widow and retirement pensions), at present 24 shillings a week for a single man and 42 shillings for a married man. These are to be raised to 32 shillings and six pence and 54 shillings respec tively. War Payments Up One hundred per cent disable ment war pensions are to go up from 45 shillings to 5S shillings a week. One example in the new na tional assistance scales Is that of a married couple with three chil dren. Under the present scale their income. Including family allowances, is four pounds six- teen shillings and sixpence a week. Under the proposed new rates their income would be five pounds, eleven shillings and six pence. Another example is that for a blind person whose rate would go up from its present three pounds, five shillings to the new three pounds, 17 shillings. Order for Silence Goes Unheeded Louisville, Ky. (UP.) The decorum of the police court was disrupted when Judge David C. Cate announced that no disturb ances would be allowed. This is what happened after the judges warning: A defendant started talking to a companion in the front row and was fined $4 by Judge Cates. A court hanger-on dropped half-pint bottle of whiskey. Repairmen started hammering on the floor above the court room and the Judge had to ad journ court until baliffs order the noise stopped. After things were back to nor mal, Cates admonished the man who dropped the bottle. Many New Yorkers call the lower Hudson the North River without knowing why. The name is a relic of Dutch ralnninl tima when the Delaware, at the other end or New Netherland, was the South river. IK ) IVki .v. rSfffihJr) Plain or iodized; always free running; always uniform.

UNITED Cities Annexing Outlying Territory j Chicago 0J.B More cities are annexing outlying territory, according to the International City Managers' Association. The most recent big city to ex tend its limits is Birmingham, Ala. It annexed 13.6 square miles. Residents of a 17-square mile area adjacent to Seattle approv ed annexation early this year. The move will not be accepted by the Seattle city council until January, 1952, because more time is needed to plan municip al services for such a large area. The City Plan Commission of Indianapolis has adopted a re port urging annexation of near ly 25 square miles during the next 10 years. A plan is being worked out providing for im mediate annexation of 9.5 quares miles. In Norfolk, Va., plans are be ing made for annexation of 15.76 square miles, which would make the city the largest in Vir ginia, both in area and popula tion. At Independence, Mo., an or dinance was proposed calling for a special election to decide on annexing 24.9 square miles. The action followed a move by Kansas City to bring in 25.02 square miles. Last year, 382 cities of more than 5.000 population annexed outlying territory.
