When a girl is thin she makes the best of it by realizing that thinness is wonderfully becoming to her. man is a person who, when he finds lead quarter in his change when he gets home, gets mad and acts like it was his wife's fault There would not be so much trouble in the world if girl were as particu- lar about a mans morals as she is about his manners.
 A girl should never give up hone. The other day girl who Is 40. homely fat and red-headed. copped out man for herself
 What has become of the o. f. man who wore celluloid dickey over his
 shirt front every Sunday Men are natural-born liars. If all the money that men promised their wives in the past five years, and tha. their wives didn't get, was heaped in one pile. the pile would make the Rocky mountains look like an ant hill Girls are pretty smart nowadays The author of What A Young Girl Ought to Know" starved to death.
 Don't get mad when friend wife bawls you out for being out all night Wouldn't you feel queer if she didn't care hang where you had spent the

 Why doesn't some magazine editor run picture of a corn fed girl on the cover once in while? We are tired of looking at the skinny ones. And you do not have to put green hair and pink eyes on corn fed to make her attractive.

And it is due to this sytem that the Pelicans were closer to the lead by one game Friday than they were Thursday.
 Moley doesn't work his pitchers. al ways in turns. He often waits to see Who the other manager is going to oeiesate for slab duty before he an nounees his own selection The system in short, is to pitch a weak pitcher against strong one; a strong pitcher against a weak one, and it worked ont Tn the series between the leading Travellers and the Barons-New Or leans Item.

 Two girls, Miss Mary Launey and Miss, Christine Tobin. are among the number to represent the Magic City. These two young ladies are fine, swim mers.
 Miss Launey, besides winning the
 national ladies' junior 44O-yard
 championship, broke the southern
 record for the 50-yard dash. and
 bids fair to lower the record still
 further in Atlanta. Miss Launey
 swims the American crawl, the
 great speed stroke.
 Two first place winners over the Dallas stars at East Lake last Satur- day will go to Crackertown for greater laurels in the persons of Alva Allen and Gillie Chisho1m.
 Allen won the 50-yard sprint over Jerry Witt, the famous Dallas swim mer, and will give the Texan anotser battle. Witt has quite a reputation as a sprinter and the local lad gained a great honor in winning from him.
 Chisholm came out first in the diving contests, after giving a great exhibition in the ten dives he executed. A large of entries were in these con tests, among the number being >Sulli- van, winner of the southern contests in 1917. and Everett Long. Dick Spen- cer and Hugh Crow of the highly touted Dallas aggregation. Long is rated as one of the best divers in the country, but Chisholm won over the Dallas man by a good margin. Mutt Merritt of the B. A. c. team also showed great form in the diving exhibitions.
 Glenn Davis, one of the best half
 milers in the south, failed to take
 first honors in the SS0-yard battle
 last Saturday, but Witt, the win
 ner, broke the southern record by
 over 30 seconds in defeating the
 local swimmer. Davis will have
 another chance in the half mile in
 the southern title events.
 Local swim enthusiasts are expect ing the team to make good showing in the southern contests, and if the stars of the aggregation display the same form they exhibited in the annual B. A. c. meet a good many honors of the coming tourney should be captured by the Magic City entries.
