They say" Have you heard?" Two
wee phrases! Five short words! But
they have done more damage than all
the rest of the dictionery rolled to-
gether! They have wrecked homes
and broken hearts. They have ruined
promising careers and thrown business
firms into bankruptcy. They have dis
rupted churches and plunged old
friends into bitter legal fights. They
have driven men to drink and women
to insanity. They have robbed limo
cent children of their parents and sent
young girls, broken-hearted and UNI
welded to their graves. They have
turned merely foolish girls into wick
ed ones and they have sent innocent
men to prison. And they belong par
ticularly to the vocabulary of women.
They are peculiarly the weapons of the
socalled gentler sex.

Are you in favor of votes for wo-

"Well, how does your husband stand
