Dear Miss Grey: I have a dear daughter, 15 years old, who does not go out nights, attends few parties, and has never been to a dance. Occasionally, however, she does go to a pic- ture show. She makes up for it, tho, in powder, rouge and a few nice clothes, which she generally flaunts at grammar school. Her dad, every time he can, says that I am not bringing her up just right, and that his parents would be shocked. Do you think it is not best to allow her to use these things instead of allowing her to chase around and do things which 1 know nothing about? When she begins to feel lonely, I draw on her imagina- tion and discuss how she would look in this dress and that hat and coat, and when I can I buy her some nifty little apron or gingham dress. I do not object to her having some of her boy and girl friends call on her if they are not rowdies, but is her dad justified in saying that 1 am not bringing her up right? A You seam to have taken the atti- | tude that your Mttle daughter must have special privileges to make up | to her for the parties and dances to which she does not go. However, | don't think that she ta ofging up as much as you scem to think she ia A girl in grade school should not 90 out at night, except occasionally on Friday or Saturday, to a private party, where there are children of her own age, and where clean fun and games may be enjoyed.

The compantonahip will be good for her providing that it is not overdone to such an extent that tt will interfere with her studies. Try to interest her in cooking, sewing and homemaking. Let her have a certain time for outdoor exer- cise; stop the uae of powder and rouge (at least until she is a few wears older), and you will have a healthy and happy daughter by the time that she has reached woman- hood. eee Is borax good for the hair?

There ts 0 much hand labor involved tn picking the leaves, however, that it remains quite doubtful whether the Southern states can compete with Ceylon, Japan and China tn the growing of tea. 1 Coffee a grown in some of the in- | aular possasrions of the United States but not in continental United States. Some experiments have been carried on in the Southern states, and some Uttle coffer has been grown under the protection of hot houses, but this could not be carried on on a com-| mercial basta.

INTERESTING FACTS 106,327 Ford Cars and Trucks Retailed in November Approximately the same number scheduled for delivery this month What Does This Mean? This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely un- precedented for this time of the year— It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants working at full capacity— It indicates a volume of business during the rapidly, approaching months of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maximum production schedule which the Ford Motor Company has set— And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which existed last Spring and Summer. Dealers’ stocks all over the country are low—there are no reserves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery— There is no way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manufactured since last April. The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly say the necessity of your making prompt arrangements with a Ford Dealer for the listing of your order, particu- larly if you are contemplating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer. We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they actually exist. ora Nfotor Company Detroit, Michigan SEATTLE AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERS CENTRAL AGENCY, Ine.
