Men Do Not Respect Flirts
The Flirting Woman Is Peculiar to America; Abroad
Regarded as of Light Character.

THERE was a handsome Span
lard passing along a street;
and he glanced, no doubt,
admiringly at beautiful woman,
sitting in her carriage, before a
shop entrance.
The woman met his glance with
half smile The man opened the
carriage door and took a seat be-
side the woman.
She screamed and ordered him
out.
But you smiled at me-" the
man said. when a woman smiles
at me, | think she likes me to sit
beside her"
You fool, was only flirting"
the woman retorted.
Il am a Spaniard, and we do not
understand the word flirting" the
man replied. And | am no fool
The woman who fiirts with
strange man is the fool
The man was quite right.
Only in America is that type of
woman found; the woman who
in reality is not vicious; yet who,
by her conduct in public places,
and toward strangers, compels an
observer to question her morality
and responsibility.
There are women who do not
seem to know the fine distinction
between a mans admiration and
his curiosity to test her good
sense. Such women not only en-
courage the attentions of stran-
gers. but frequently boast of these
attentions as a proof of their own
powers to attract admiration.
The wife of a successful busi-
ness man, and a woman possessed
of every earthly blessing, a good
mans love, beautiful home,
health and youth, was heard re-
lating her experiences on a rail-
road journey.
A man had stared at her con-
tinually; finally he had walked
past her two or three times; and
at last had offered her a news
paper She had accepted it; and
the man had talked to her until
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-09-30

No man will follow a woman
many blocks if she gives him no
encouragement. Not unless he is
a highwayman or a lunatic If she
refuses to look at him he will
give up the chase finally.
There are many men of a cheap
type who make advances to women
in public places, without any
cause But if the advance is ig-
nored or resented, it is not re-
peated.
Let no woman imagine she is
possessed of peculiar or unusual
attractions because she has these
experiences.
And let her rest assured, if she
responds in any way to the ad-
vances of strangers-of men to
whom she has not been properly
presented-that she will be re-
garded lightly by these men, and
her name will be used by them in
ways which would bring the blush
to her cheek, could she listen.
Fathers, brothers, husbands, are
always indignant when women of
their own are subjected to such
attentions from strangers. Even
when they are subjecting other
women to such attentions.
1t is a curious fact that most
men have higher ideals for their
daughters, sisters and wives than
most women have for themselves.
This is because women so fire.
quently allow their vanity and
self-conceit to blind their judg-
ment.
Over in foreign lands lin all for
eign lands), a woman who per-
mits any man to show her the
least attention in a public place
(any stranger), at once brands
herself as a woman of light char
acter.
And that is what she is, here or
anywhere in reality; even though
she may be guilty of no immoral
thought or act; yet she is so de-
void of the finer instincts and at
tributes which make up worthy
wOmanhood that she is light
weight in character.

At such a time the roar of ar

the galloping of cavalry, the rush

infantry, and the flight of military

No matter what a mans trade
is he must see more than that
which lies just in front of his nose
if he wishes to rise to the top.
If you know and care little about
the history of your business you
cannot become great in it. Can
you imagine Napoleon fighting a
battle on a field where Caesar had
fought before him without being
aware of the fact, taking the live
liest interest in it and perhaps de-
irving advantage from it? Do you
thing that Edison is unacquainted
with any of the great things that
his predecessors did in electrical
science? Whether knowledge of
this kind bears directly upon the

not, it always brOadens your views,

larges the field of your operations.

structing a French officer in some
of the most interesting military
annals of his country.
The lesson of this incident

application. These men mdoubt-

The Moral: Young Men
Learn Your Trade
Thoroughly.

The moral for the young man
just making his start is: Learn
your trade thoroughly, do your
work with conscientious care, but
beware of stopping there, for if
you do you will stay there all your
life. Other men have fought bat
ties on your ground long before
your time, and if you know what
they did you may profit by both
their mistakes and their successes.
Don't neglect and forget the
Caesars of your business because
they lived a long time ago!

American Shipping Policy Started

TINE GEORGIAN feels par
donable pride in the fact
that the conferees on the

discriminating duty section Csub-

count of the duty on imports in

Attached thereto is a proviso
declaring that nothing in the sec

flying or terminating any trade

tween the United States and for
eign nations.

sistently advocated a return to
this early policy of the founders

SAL factory on an automatic plan.
When the tide comes in it fills lot
of shallow basins, and the water is
prevented from flowing back into the
sea by closing the gates. The atmos-
phere is so dry that the water evapo-
rates rapidly and leaves a sediment Of
salt in an almost pure state, which is
scraped up, packed into sacks and
shipped to market.
Within the coast little farther the
percolation of sea water through the
porous rocks into pits and hollows has
caused immense deposits of salt to &C
cumulate. The salt is taken out in
blocks six or eight inches square and
sold in that form. AS soon as the
salt is excavated the water comes in
again and in year or two has solidi-
fed and is ready for the market.

cried. "And to think of the crowd al

ed the Animals In Spots.
A. moving picture show was recent
ly given in London to determine what
effect a cinematograph picture had on
the intelligence of animals. A series
Of motion pictures was reeled off in
darkened room before an audience
Of prize dogs. First some pictures OF
a dog show were run through. The
dogs walked up and had look at 1t
and turned away, obviously bored and
uninterested. Evidently the subject
was too familiar.
They woke up, however, when an
elephant came splashing into pool
of water and appeared to be walking
into the room. A massive bulldog
made a dash for the screen. With his
head up and ears pricked, he got
ready to attack, and the whole audi
ence barked and bayed in blood cur
ding discord. Pictures Of birds also
irritated them, but when other ami
mails were shown they quickly recog-
nized that they were not looking at
the real thing and in a few seconds
quieted down completely.
The general result Of the expert.
ment seemed to be that dogs do moi
understand still pictures, but that they
appreciate motion, though it very
largely depends upon the nature Of
the thing moving.-Pearson's Weekly

The best table fowl is one that has
the heaviest weight Of meat on those
parts of the body which are favorite
cuts. The breast and thighs must be
heavy in a good table fowl in proper

order to have thick breast meat and
big thighs these muscles must be used
by the fowl. In other words, the fiier
and scratcher will prove to be the best
