The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1920-12-02

Every time you see an old maid you
turn green with envy, and you have
told me a million times that a woman
sacrifices her liberty and independ-
ence the minute she inveiges man
to the altar and vows to love, cherish
and protect him. You have said in my
presence that the spinster is the only
woman who is her own boss.
1T doesn't take the ingenuity of
Sherlock Holmes to deduce from your
remarks that you consider matrimony
a total loss. Why, then, Mrs. James
worthy, are you forever trying to be-
guile your friends into that condition
of misery? OF course, you can't ex-
plain; neither can any woman explain.
Matchmaking just comes natural to
all Of you.
when l am looking for all kinds Of
plain and fancy trouble, I'll begin
matching up the young men and wom-
en- of my acquaintance. But not until
i am suffering for an invoice of grief.
/ might persuade my friends to invest
In western silver mine, or buy patent
rights in a revolving Churn, but you'll
never see Elijah Jamesworthy boost
ing matrimony in your indiscrimnate
way. If two young people got married
through your ring generalship, and
they found that each had drawn gold
brick, they would hate you as long
as they lived, and would always speak
of you as an old busybody with a nose
too long for legitimate purposes, and
they'd make faces at you whenever
you met them on the street
do you ever think Of your respon-
sibility when you try to boom the or
ange blossom market? Does it ever
occur to you, at such times, that you
are rushing in where angels fear to
tread?
"Now, just consider Sarah Jane Fa-
vorite and Charles Augustus Terwil-
Tiger, who will be railroaded to the
altar if YOU have your way. | admit
that they make a handsome pair
Sarah is a blonde with pug nose,
and Charles Augustus is a brunette
a
They afford a pleasing contrast. But
appearances count for little, Mrs.
Jamesworthy whom the real business
of married life begins.
Sarah has basked in the lap of lux
ury all her days, and she has the idea
that money grows on vines like Gu
cumbers. / don't suppose she ever
knew what it means to need fifty cents
or a dollar When she wants anything
she goes to the store and gets It, and
has 1t charged to her father. If there
is one word In the dictionary she isn't
familiar with, that word is retrench-
| ment.
Charles Augustus on the other
hand, had hard shedding all through
his boyhood. AS result OF his TX
perlence he has an exaggerated idea Of
the value Of a kopeck. He is the sort
of man who will walk eight miles
through thunderstorm rather than
cough up carfare. Whenever he parts
with a nickel he has to take a bromo-
seltzer to steady his nerves. His rev.
erence for money increases every day,
and it will keep on increasing as long
| as he lives.
"Yet you. Mrs. Jamesworthy, In your
| Predetermined matchmaking enthusi-
assn, would use your vote and intiu-
ence to join these two people In the
holy bonds. Just take the advice Of
your swaybacked husband, and let
such people work out their own des-
TIMES, and everybody concerned VIII
| be happier"

"Why should | buy oranges and
press out the juice for the baby when
| can buy it already madeY said Mrs.
Housekeeper, holding up a bottle con
tanning a yellow beverage with n fan
ciful name and the picture Of "A deli

"This saves lots If work and is cheap
err. Besides, the baby likes it real
we'll"
"But this Is not orange juice; 1t is
only an imitation" said the food spe-
clalist carefully examining the fancy
label. "You said that your physician
told you to give the baby orange juice.
No physician would ever prescribe this
connection. Forget the picture Of an
orange and rcad the fine print on the
label In that the manufacturers pre-
tends to comply with the provisions

correcting some of the misleading fea-
lures Of the label. You notice that
he does not call it orange juice any

il is by the picture Of an orange, and

geoDs orange fruit. The color Of the
orange is obtained by the use of an
artificial dye The only part of the
orange in this stun is perhaps a mi
mute quantity of oil pressed from
orange skin, or extracts from the dried
peel, which carries the aroma and
flavor Of orange"
Not Getting Orange Juice.
"You mean to say my baby has not
been getting any orange juice? The
doctor said he needed II more than
anything No wonder he stayed sick"
"The only orange your baby gets
from this bottle is the smell, " replied
the food specialist. "Your physician
prescribed orange juice for the baby
because II contains certain organic
acids which have medicinal value and
also contains vltHmines which are es-
scntial to growth. Your physician
prescribed orange juice because the
vitamines are lacking in sufficient
quantity in pastcurzed milk. But
| this concoction is essentially sweet

INCREASES GIFT TO
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Pierre S. du Pont Makes
Substantial Addition
to Fund

Pierre S. DUPONT has added $919,-
600 to his many previous generous
gifts on behalf of the development of
Delaware's modern school system, ac.
cording to the report of DR.. Joseph H.
Odell, director of the Service Citizens
submitted at a joint meeting of the
executive and finance committees of
the Service Citizens yesterday. Mr..
DUPONT has now donated a total of
$3,419,000 to the progress of educa>
ton.
DR.. Odell's report covered the work
of the organization since the last
meeting, June A. Henry P. Scott pre-
sided at the meeting. H. Rodney
Sharp was secretary. A feature Of
the report covered the work on thirty
one schools throughout the State built
or being constructed under the direc-
tion of the association.
With the foundation laid by the
Service Citizens for the proper devel-
opment of the school system, the re-
port points out that the Americaniza-
ton committee should ask the Legis-
lature for sufficient appropriations to
cover the work now carried on by the
organization and other agencies. Ac,
cording to the report the State Board
of Education has been advised to ask
the Legislature for $4,000 a year,
which has heretofore been provided
by the Service Citizens for vocational
education. The report also suggests
that the Legislature should provide
for the teacher training department
of Delaware College.

THE OTHER FELLOW AND YOU

Have you ever noticed? When
the other fellow acts that way, he
is "illtempered"; when you do it,
it's nerves" When the other
fellow is set in his ways, he's
"obstinate"; when you are, it is
just "firmness."
When the other fellow doesn't
like your friends, he's "prejudic-
ed"; when you don't like his, you
are simply showing that you are a
good judge of human nature.
When the other fellow tries to
treat someone especially well, he
is "toadying"; when you try the
same thing, you are using "tact."
When the other fellow takes
time to do things, he is dead
slow; when you do it, you are
deliberate.
When the other fellow spends a
lot, he is a "spendthrift'; when
you do, you are generous"
When the other fellow holds
too tight to his money, he is
"close"; when you do, you are
prudent.
When the other fellow dresses
extra we'll, he's a dandy; when
you do, "a duty one owes to So
ciety."
When the other fellow runs
great risks in business, he is
"foolhardy"; when you do, you are
great financier."
When the other fellow says
what he thinks, he is "spitefuP !;
when you do, you are frank"
When the other fellow goes in
for music and pictures and liter
ature, he is "effeminate"; when
you do, you are "arfstic."

EFFICIENT USE
OF HEATER KEEPS
DOWN COAL BILLS
Government Engineers Give
Valuable Hints to
Householders

Too much coal is burned by the
average householder in heating
his house, say engineers in the
Division of Rural Engineering
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
who have recently completed a
study of how to heat the farm
house efficiently. That too much
coal is burned is due primarily,
studies show, to lack of knowledge
of how to regulate the heater. 1t
is not enough to install a heater,
fill the bins with coal, and then
expect it to heat the house pro-
perly. The first season after in
stalling a heater should be devot-
ed to a study of fuels and their
burning in the particular heater.
Some of the things in general
which the engineers who have
been in charge of this work advise
the furnace operator to look after
if he wishes to heat his home COM
fortably with a minimum amount
of coal are: Be sure the chimney
is large enough for the size of the
house and, if possible, have it
straight up and down with a lined
round flue. Study the dampers and
use them intelligently in regulat-
ing the fire. Experiment with diff
ferent kinds of coal until the best
kind or the best mixture for your
special heater is found. Do not
use the poker too often unless the
coal is of the kind that fuses,
forms a crust, and interferes with
the draft. Do not leave ashes in
the ash pit; clean them out each
time after shaking. Insulate pipes
and warm-air ducts; it saves heat.
Maintain, if possible, a humidity
between 40 and so per cent; moist
air heats more quickly and is
much more healthful.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, September 25
The Alabama legislature, called
in special session for the purpose
OF passing registration laws so
as to allow women to register and
vote, viii finish it's work next week
and adjourn sine die by Saturday
night, according to the belief of
leaders of the two houses. The regis
tration and poll tax laws have been
framed and passed and when the ma
tional election is held in November it
is expected that the vote will be
about doubled by the activities of the
woman voters, who. it is believed
Will be almost as numerous as the
men in several school tax elections
Some women have already registered
IN three big counties, Montgomery
Mobile and Jefferson. Registration
books were opened when the amend
ment was proclaimed ratified. Regis
tration at that time in these three
counties was heavy All counties
soon Will open their registration
books to woman voters, who, it is
also believed, will support the demo-
cratic nominees of the party, and will
join in the general and primary cleo
tons of the future, much on the same
scale as the men.

Reports are coming in that the
women are up in arms in Chicago, and
if Oglesby is not nominated will either
demand that he run as an independ-
ent, which is unlikely to happen, or
else they will turn democratic and
give their votes to James Hamilton
campaign in Illinois. The woman
voters showed more resentment
against the campaign methods of
Thompson than did the men, and if
reports are true they are beyond the
control of the man politicians. The
men down state have taken republican
politics almost as their religion. The
indications are that the women are
not going to be SO partisan, and while
they may bolt to Lewis in such num-
bers that the latter could be elected
with light vote cast, republican

sible.

Some Democratic Discord.
There are riffs in the democratic
harmony. though not very serious.
The organization slate was smashed
in several places at the recent pri-
mary. Robert E. Burke, who ran for
United States senator on an anti Will
son and league Of nations platform,
came within 1900 votes of carrying
the state primary, and did win in
Cook county. William Murphy of Chi
cago defeated one of the organization
candidates for representative at large.
The big fight the organization made
was to save States Attorney Maclay
Hoyne, who was defeated by Igoe.
Murphy, named by the democrats
for the almost hopeless race for rep
resentative at large. is a veteran OF
the recent war;. He is the only soI-
der candidate to make a showing,
though there were number in the
race. James F.. Burns, county judge
of Cook county, is veteran and was
nominated by the democrats for at
torney general. Capt. Oscar Carl

nomination for governor. and Maj. B.
