WILLIAMSBURG April 24, 1776.—Measures for the suppression of the Torles are to be much more severe in the near future. [ories are not numerous in the tide er cou | ties, but they are troublesome in p - | portion to their' numbers because of | thefr persistent endeavors to assist the British vessels off the coast with| supplies. Last month the Committee of Safety considered a plan for leav ng the lo country whoily devoid of populat with its land unculti- vated, by urging patriots to move in-| tand voluntarily and by compelling the Tories to do the same, but the proposal met swith opposition. However, all persons in Norfolk and Princess Anne Counties who are known to_have joined Lord Dunmore | or taken his oath of allegiance to the| King, have been ordered to move at| least 30 miles into the interior.

CORY T give my baby sister everything I got—even mumps: (Copyright. 1026.) SUB ROSA BY MIMI Why Doesn't He Write? Was there ever a boy who, when dashing off to college or another city for a long stay, didn’t promise faith- fully to write often” And was there ever a girl, waiting home, who didn't fretfully demand of the world in general. “Why doesn’t he write?" It's a problem that perplexes girls and women all over the world They can't understand wi they take the trouble to write eight es of tender messages, their sweet- hearts’ reply should come three weeks later, couched in the most business like terms and dealing principally with the weather. If the boy stays away long enough and fails to write more ofteh than once every month, his girl starts pick- ing on him. And there begins a se- ries of unpleasant epistles to the tune of: “Dear John: Why don't you write to me?” and “Dear Sue: I write as 1 possibly can. You ought to that I'm very busy.” etc., etc. Sue eventually comes to the con: on that her John is in the toils of an adventuress and has forgotten all about the girl he left behind him. So she either writes him a sad little note ending things forever, or she walts till he comes home to give him a grand freeze-out You'd all save yourselves a great many heartaches and worrles, if you'd get one fact firmly fixed in your mind: Very few men like to write letters. Very few men know how to write the kind of letter that makes a hit with the Best Girl. Somehow, girls, when they fall in love, feel the desire to put it all down on paper. ‘They're able to tear off several volumes of burning words to the object of their affections. But the average male—the normal modern boy—chews his pen savagely for an hour or two, and then dashes off something tender like: “Dear Sue: Suppose you wonder why I haven's written. ~ Well, I've been awfully busy,ebut you know that I would write if I could. Haven't time to tell you much now, but I guess you under- stand how I'm fixed,” etc., etc. And Sue, scanning the lines eagerly for some sign shat his devotion fs unwavering—that his love is burning brightly—pouts and exclaims angrily “Oh, he makes me sick. Too lazy io write a decent letter. If he rea cared for me, he'd find time some how.” But even when the hoys really care they can’t get into the letter-writing hat Unless they're the rather im. aginative, poetical type, they hate ex- pressing themselves tenderly with pen and ink. They figure that the gir] at home understands perfectly—and 80 they needn’s bother too much. And it's up to the girl at home to understand. “She must learn patience and sympathy. She mustn't scratch and growl over his fancied unfaithful- ness. Dozens of romances are continually being broken up over this correspond- ence business. You girls must gain a more tolerant viewpoint on the subject.

They reveal contentment and conditions of a placid nature, which should prove favorable to all observances or recre- ations usually assoctated with «a Sunday. Late {n the evening there are indications of an unsettled frame of mind that, if encouraged, may conduce to nervousness and f{rrita- bility. This period is, however, of very brief duration and such condi- tions as are foreshadowed can very easily be overcome by the exercise of a little will power, Children born tomorrow will be subjected durfng infancy to a variety of ailments, none of which will be of a serfous nature. Most little ones can become sick very quickly and recover just as rapidly. Those, however, bern under tomor- row’s influences will have these ten- dencies very strongly developed and just as their sudden illnessess will appear to be alarming their speedy recovery will be remarkable. Tem- peramentally, they promise to have sweet dispositions and will, at all times, be kind and considerate. They will not possess abnormal intellects, but will at all times be willing and anxifous to learn, although they will be slow at doing so. They may not have any outstanding or spectacular careers, but the indications point to lives of good and useful citizenship. It tomorrow is your birthday you are very “fussy” as well as a crea- ture of habit. You are not much in- terested in the big things of life, as your thoughts are occupied all the time with meticulous details. You have no interest in anything or any- body that is not connected with or related to your own immediate circle. You also have an unfortunate habit of prying into other people's affairs and your interference, although well meant, is frequently resented. You are very painstaking and the work intrusted to you is -always carefully done. You always dot your “Is” and cross your “Ts.” You are more fitted for & position of a subordinate character than for one where initiative and leadership are needed. In your home life Your “fussiness” does not tend to breed an atmos- phere of contentment, unless you are mated with one born in July or October. Well known persons born on that date are: David Hale, journalist; William Deering, manufacturer: Felix Morris. actor; Mrs. Burton Harrison, author; Thomas . Clarke, sculptor and painter; Edwin R. A.

He will not take me to places of amusement that I enjoy, but I must go with him wherever he wants to go. 1 must take care of him when he is sick, but he does not take care of me when I am sick. He doesn’t want me to read any books because he says that a woman should spend her time in taking care of her husband and home. Iie thinks he should be allowed to flirt with women because he is a man, and that I should not resent it, He says that I shouldn’t have friends because they put evil in my head.

Answer: Well, I should think you would feel that you could live mighty comfortably without that kind of a husband. The code of conduct that he has drawn up for you, and to which he expects you to subscribe, belongs to the dark ages, when wives were slaves. It has no place in this enlightened age, when women are free and husbands and wives are equal partners. I should say that vour husband was wrong In every particular.

DAUGH TER§ OF TODAY BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR CHAPTER LIV, All's Well! ‘While Natalie was on her way home with Perry, Martha was in the living room of the apartment arranging long-stemmed roses in a gray and blue Japanese vase. Her cheeks were very bright. Her greenish eyes be- hind their long lashes had a sweet, secretive look. She seemed about as old as Natalie, as she stood there, and, strangely enough, she was excited be- cause the flowers had been sent to her by her own husband. Arthur came in and stood looking at her for a moment. She turned around and saw him, and with a grin he came across the room to her and slipped an arm about her shoulders. She glanced up at him. Arthur was looking better. His face was not so thin and had more color, and evi- dently he was not drinking so much, for his eyes were bright and there was no smell of liquor on his breath. “Pretty good little scout, aren't you, raother?” he said, a trifle awkwardly. Arthur was as chary of showing emotion or uppearing soft as was _Natalle. “Am I really?” \Martha returned, rubbing her cheek against his shoul- der. It was so that John, coming home from the office, found them to- gether. Since the quarrel John had made no attempt to offer any caress to Martha, but that there had been a change in him was evinced by the fact that he was at home more than he had been in months. Then, too, Martha had felt in him a desire to make friends with her. Sometimes it had seemed to her that he was on the point of speaking, of saying something definite, but he never had. Today he had sent her flowers, the first since she could remember, and now as he entered the room and saw her with Arthur he stoppdd, looking awkward and embarrassed.

It is often a matter of wonder how the ancients were able to quarry enormous blocks of stone, as they had now power-driven drills and only small tools. Most of the Greek and Roman and Egyptian pillars of marble or gran- itsare not pierced together like modern pillars, but are actually made of one block of stone—true monoliths. The device which the ancients used for getting out the blocks from which the columns were made was very clever. With hand tools they painfully cut a wedge-shaped trench through the rock, roughly blocking out the shape of stone they wished. Then they took bone-dry timbers and inserted them in the wedge incisions. Now they poured water on the timbers, which immediately swelled up. The force of this swelling was so great as to crack the rock apart by sheer lev. erage and the principle of the wedge. | Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday's Questions. 1.
