TP Dear Ann Landers: I was shocked at the lousy advice you gave the 14-year-old girl whose drunken bum of an uncle insisted on "babysitting" with her, and had already made several passes. The last she had awakened out of a sound sleep and he was unbuttoning her nightgown. She told her mother and her mother accused her of dreaming. Your advice was, "A 14-year-old girl is old enough to buy a slot-type lock for her bedroom door and tell the skunk to keep his hands off her in a no-nonsense way that will convince him she means it." Such advice, is utterly useless.

Put away your typewriter, kiddo. You're over the hill. CHEWING NAILS Dear Nails: Several readers didn't like my answer, but it was right on target and I'll tell you why if you'll smother the flames in your nostrils long enough to listen. There's a lot of incest and similar monkey business going on all over this country these days. Someone must give these young girls the courage to tell the Funny Uncle, the Nutty Step-Dad or creepy neighbor, "Hands off, Buster or I'll turn you in." Then there's the ever-present possibility that a bit of seduction is going on.

A 14-year-old these days is more woman than child. My message is, "No 14-year-old has to sit still for such rotten stuff. She can and should speak up and scare the rat back into the woodwork." Dear Ann Landers: I was moved by the letter in your column from the Jewish boy who fell in love with the Gentile girl. Twenty-eight years ago I fell in love with a Jewish boy. I decided to convert to Judaism Eyebrow tip Try to maintain as natural a look as possible with your eyebrows.

I have checked several sources without success. I've concluded the answer does not exist in print. Can you help me? Here's the question: If a person is in an elevator and the cable breaks, would he be unharmed if he was up in the air when the elevator crashed? In other words, would it do any good to grab on to something at the top of the car, to keep one's self eleVated or jump up and down with a 50 per cent chance of being in the air wheit the car hits bottom? This is no joke. Please answer. I'll be watching.
