Again I wondered II We were
an average group and l thought II
we were, that this must be a most
interesting world for those that
liked above or below the average.
Outwardly, to our acquaintances,
our lives, with perhaps the excep-
ton of Harry and Eliene, had been
pretty placid and yet there was
enough comedy and tragedy-ro-
nance and monotony-calmness
and uspense-work and play In
everyone of our lives to make a

| Great Scott! Dick, have never
tried to make you think that all
women were angels. A great many
women I know are very far from
being angels. In fact, for one,
don't want to be an angel. I would
rather be an all around human
woman who makes mistakes, who
has impulses which she sometimes
follows at the expense of reason,

There is sedtion and sedition; it all depends on

Last Saturday, for instance, The Times printed
United Press dispatch reporting speech in
congress delivered by Rep. Miller Of Seattle in
which our fellow Washingtonian ripped up the
back few army officers he saw in France who
compelled enlisted men to black their shoes.
Miller called these officers snobs, and pro-
tested the practice. The Times editorially
agreed with him.
We were promptly chastised. The News,

Restaurant Prices

Mr.. Hoover told us to save food.
So the portions in the restaurants have been cut
smaller and smaller
1 Very well!
Z We're with Mr.. Hoover heart and SOUL We've
got to save food.
But while the restaurant men made the por-
tions smaller and smaller, they boosted prices
higher and higher.
We certainly are against that.
! Everybody is willing to get along on almost
no food-but we want Uncle Sam and ourselves
instead of Mr.. Restaurant Man, to profit by our
sacrifice.
We're trying to economize, and put our nickels
In Liberty bonds and thrift stamps
Uncle Sam is going to get our dollars--if we
have any left after paying for our meals on the
robberizing basis.
If Mr.. Hoover tells us to get along on less food
we're going to get along on less food.
But that doesn't mean that we should pay the
restaurant man bonus for the opportunity.
