TT is quite the fashion to abuse the
men, a fashion that has lasted
longer than ho5ble skirts, and that
will prevail long after the new pannier
overskirts are forgotten.
Women meet at afternoon teas and
abuse the men who are downtown earn

they gather in halls and abuse the men,
leaving the babies at Rome with the
men while they do it.

When Ben Scored

Long after the victories of Washing

had made his name familiar to all Eu
rope Benjamin Franklin was guest
at a dinner given in honor of the
French and English ambassadors. The
ambassador from England arose and
drank a toast to his native land: TO
England-the sun whose bright beams
enlighten and fruetify the remotest
corners of the earth
The French ambassador. filled with
his own national pride, but too polite
to dispute the previous toast offered
the following ITO France-the moon
whose mild, steady and cheering rays
are the delight of all nations, conso+~
ing them in darkness and making their
dreariness beautiful"
Then rose "Old Ben Franklin and
said in his slow but dignifed way: ITO
George Washington-the Joshua who
commanded the sun and the moon to
stand still, and they obeyed him"

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
e
A SERIOUS RIVAL.
ey BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax
| am nineteen and in love with girl
one year my junior We met over a
year ago and became close friends.
About six months ago she met another
fellow, whom she seemed TO like very
much. and as he had an automobile he
used TO visit her regularly often TAX
ing her to dances where sometimes I
met her, and though she treated me
very nicely, there is something about
her manner that puzzles me. How can
| find out the reason for this and if
she still cares for me? F. o.
If a rival has an automobile, that
makes him very formidable. especially
if the girl cares for YOU in only a half
hearted way. The only way TO learn
the real state of her feelings IS to go
to her and ask her. There is nothing
that equals a definite understanding in
q situation like yours

because many motor car manufacture
ers can regulate their output TO cor
respond with demand Based on the
rate of increase in the past. the output
should reach about $4,000 Rapid as
