Gan NOTHING BE DONE TO 2
KEEP THE WOMEN AT HOME2'
Asks Man Who Wants to Haze Us Forbidden to Roam H..

of Seeing Only Men

LIE WROTE very plaintive letter
- which was published recently. "Can
nothing be done?' he asked, pathet-
ically, ito keep the women at home
They are everywhere!' Unlike iinany
objectors, he suggests remedy for this
desperate condition. No, IL isn't borax,
or alum, or even red pepper. He speaks
of chem as II they were reaches or
ants but his remedy gives them at
least the credit Of being human beings.
He suggests that the Legislature limit
them to two or three days a week for
exercise and outing. Then they'd be of
the street, out of the way, for at least
q few days.
wonder IL he has ever walked up a
city street during his lunch hour? Per-
haps he has tried to. But at the end
Of the first block he has probably been
stopped by n crowd of men standing
around an automobile. There's nothing
the matter with the automobile, there &
nobody in it., and IL isn't painted q
startling color. It's Just dark blue,
empty, perfectly good car--but there
little bit of an arrangement of some
kind on the hood that's a little tiny bit

yes, and they're very anxious to &c,
off, but they can't because they can't
get pnst these men to get into their
cars.
This amiable gentleman who dislkes
women on the street probably goes on
after he has looked at the car for q
while. He can't 20 very fast, though
because he's back of line consisting OF
five boys, who aren't in any hurry al
all. They zigzag from the curb to the
store windows, lengthening out at either
side that he wants to get past. Al
crossings they spread out and form q
wall, SO that he cannot possibly pass
them. Women2 Oh, yes, they're on the
street, too, trying to get home, but
unable to pass this string Of boys.

Dear Madam--Kindly tell me through

Try rubbing lemon juice on your yur
bleach for the skin. Another thing that
makes the skin white and fine Is q cold
compress This Is something Of bother ne,

white wiring q soft cloth almost dry
out of cold water. Wrap It around your
neck and put q dry towel completely !,
the yet cloth ia covered, otherwise II
will give you a stiff neck. Pin the
towel with a safety pin and keep It on
all night. In the morning wash your
neck as usual, but finish with cold
water to keep from catching cold. This
is a fine remedy for sore throat or cold,
and 1t has been discovered to be very
good as a neck whitener or course,
il takes several applications to make
the neck as white as you want It.

Says Boys Are Frivolous

Dear Cynthia---In answer TO "On the
Road 10 An A. BIS" challenge, the
supposedly incest boys are the worst
company a girl could have. The light
and thoughtless girl is more popular
with these nice boys" for the simple
reason that they think mostly of a
good time. and It's plain to see that
the kind of time they desire to have
would not be granted them IL they
went with girls like the two sophomores.
When boys get older and commence to
settle down they undoubtedly drop the
thoughtless kind; If not, what does II
lead to" Unhappiness and divorce,
which We read about every day.
SO cheer up. sophomores, and let the
thoughtless have her good time now,
Yours will come in a much happier way
later in life. and your type will be the
greatest benefit by far to your families
and the world
Yours for a better education and the
downfall Of dance halls.

subject. All of which has little to do
with my adventure. for what I really
want, to tell you about Is shop that
has second hand books for thirty cents
each, or four for 81. My thought was
that any one would be willing to pay
thirty cents for book. II 1t proved
good, It could be kept; or If 1t were not
