A prospector in Black canyon on the

TOUCHDOWNs AT
BARGAIN COUNTERS

The serious and fatal panic In q
/ Detroit ten-cent store on Saturday
/ puts a bitter point TO the jokes OF
| paragraphers on the bargain-counter
eagerness OF womankind.
II is too readily assumed that the
frantic strain OF bargain hunting. said
TO be characteristic OF women. Is an
evidence that they are meaner in their
economies and more parsimonious
than men
I Probably the truth is that shopping
should be regarded merely as the
great modern feminine game.
] II occupies the place that is filled
in the masculine makeup by football,
baseball and the competitive chances
OF business.
Perhaps the chief interest OF a
stressful shopping tour lies in the
sense Of successful contest and tie
making OF good score"
This suggestion is thrown out for
what II is worth.
But before we decide that the rush
OF women at bargain counters proves
that they are meaner In money mat.
tiers than men are, we must take into
account also the presence OF poverty
under which so many household pur.

and anxious need OF making small al.
