SIMPLY NO DEMAND AT ALL
Comment Made by Pretty Girl Seemed
to Explain the Situation Very
Thoroughly.

The man shortage, due to the horri-
BILE slaughter of the world war, led
President Lewis of the United Mine
Workers to say in Indianapolis:
IF we licked the Germans, the world
was to be better place to live in, but
it seems to become worse place
every day.
Take the shortage of young men
and the young men that are left can't
marry on account of the profiteer. Why
millions of pretty girls all over the
world are never going to get married
"A crowd of pretty girls were taking
tea the other afternoon when a rag
man passed.
"'Old rags!' he yelled. old rags, old
bones, old ironr
"And then. as he trudged slowly
along the street, he yelled again:
"Old copper! Old tin Old bottles
Old papers! Old shoesp
"The prettiest girl in the group made
dramatic gesture Of despair
"'Girls' she said, he wants every
thing but old maids.'"

was opposed to having women smoke,
he declared in Judge Crail's court,
where he won a decree from Leonora

smokes gets a divorce from this
court just because his wife, too,
smokes" stated the court, but he
added that since the evidence showed
the woman had deserted her husband
he might have decree.
