about so. Soon these 425-a-day sales are

thru tariffs and commercial treaties
will any nation be able to protect its
workers and it's industries. Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire says,
Nowhere among the nations is free
trade longer tolerated" The London
Chamber of Commerce has recon-
mended the abrogatfon of all most

SIDE TALKS
Whom Would You Marry?
ny RUrH CAMERON

Molly, the little stenographer lady,
and I amused ourselves on a tedious
trolley trip the other day in a way
which has long been a favorite in our
family.
In each of the successive cars we
asked each other which man we
would marry if we had to choose from
the specimens of the male sex there
displayed.
Now that may sound terribly silly,
but you can't imagine how amusing
and interesting. it is until you have
tried it.
1t gives an impetus to the study of
faces as indexes to character.
Molly looks chiefly at mouths. She
rejected one unconscious sutton be-
cause of the full lines over the mouth
that are apt to spell sensuality, and
another because he shut his mouth
too tightly. THAT means the kina of
bad temper that he shuts in for peo-
pie outside of the family and lets loose
on his wife, she said
I consult mouths but l look at eyes,
too: like to see if they are warm or
cold. Then if the man is old enough
to have wrinkles, I look for humor
wrinkles radiating from the eyes out
ward, for two of my ideal require
ments are sense of justice and a
sense of humor.
OF course the financial standing of
these unconscious applicants for our
hands came into question.
1t is more difficult to place a man
financially by his clothes than a
woman because mems clothes are
more standardized.
We found that shoes were one of
the best indexes. You can tell a high
class shoe more surely than you can
place any other article of male attire.
One man whose financial status had
been uncertain, promptly lost out
when we noticed his shoes, of light
yellow, cheap looking leather. and
made with that superaccentuated box
toe with lavish perforations. They
were not free from mud and they
were topped by striped stockings.
While a man next him in a slightly
shabby suit was marked o. K. when
we took stock of his shoes of a dark
er leather. made on long plain lines
| Immediately polished and topped
with thin black Isle stockings

gentleman even in shabby clothes

fun.

wonder what criticisms they would

There are a lot of commendable
methods of economizing, observes
Verd Napier, but neglecting to pay the
little bills you owe is not one of them
Here's fine and truly patriotic
thought in few words from the pen
of Mrs. Tom Thompson of the How
ard Courant; Let the flag be a
symbol of our virtues. not of our
passions"
One of the items in the columns of
the Wilson County Citizen that are
filled weekly with a clever line of
advertising from Singletons Store is
authority for the information that in
playing the average music roll on
pianola the performer walks about
three miles and fourteen yards.
Observations by Wells & Son in
their Erie Record: Nearly every large
family has at least one successful
member. It's the people who really
do not have to economic who do
it. A kids idea of medicine is that
it's something that tastes rotten and
makes you feel sicker. You talk so
much about some one being a bore
Maybe you are just as much of a bore
to the other fellow =. The average
school lad has already made up his
mind whether or not his new teacher
is a success. And, believe US, these
school lads will not change their
minds about it either.
We are told, says the Lebanon
Times. that the legend lunch stand

most of the public sale bills during
recent years is really an obsolete term
as most of those who go to farm sales

object to them. In the old days folks
who didn't advertise free hay for
teams belonging to prospective buyers
were likely to have but small attend
ance at the sales. Free gasoline
would be more to the point at pres
ent but anybody holding out such an
inducement would probably have to
pay more for the gasoline than the
