Wise Mrs. Snyder. how much
wiser than the lady that let's
things drift along. eating her
soul out, then ends by shooting
"Mr. Snyder" and writing a diary
about it.
Stop it when it starts. Your
husband will think all the more
of you. He knows we'll that he
is guilty, more or less, in thought
or deed. and he'll say to himself,
"I've got a smart wife"
Things happen indirectly.
Young men with wasp waists
leave the lowest waistcoat button
unfastened because the late King
Edward of England had a fat
little stomach. The bottom waist
coat button pinched him, SO he
unfastened it; that became the
fashion.
The automobile is curing bald
ness, by making the hard derby
hat unpopular. The stiff derby,
making mark around your
head, stops circulation Of blood
in the scalp, and the hair dies
and falls out.
Women wearing foolish but
loose hats rarely get bald. You
noticed that. In a derby you
cannot lean back comfortably in
your motor. The rich that con-
troll fashion ride daily in motors.
Hence, fewer derby hats now,
and later you'll see fewer bald
heads. That is more important
to many men than the disarma-
ment conference.
Tight, stiff hats mean badness.
Tight, high, stiff collars, press
ing on the neck's great blood
vessels and on the pneumogastric
nerve, cause nervousness and i'll
health. Remember that as long
as you live.
Contemplating hard hats and
stiff collars, observe now nature
:. keeps al things balanced in spite
of our foolishness. Gravitation
would unite all the matter OF the
universe in one great lump If
you let it alone, and the lump
would go sailing, useless, through
space, no pretty moon or stars.
Newton's law puzzled the wise.
Then radioactivity was discover
ed, balancing gravitation by
hurling atoms into space, coun-
teracting gravity.
The Ku Klux want to organ

American Legion does not want

will keep out the Ku Klux. Balance

You have the Masons, that do

is keeping them all balanced,
using them in ways little dream

When you ride in your Ford

ting on an explosive, but it won't
explode.
Henry Ford, intelligent person,
has bought from England 35,0OO,-
900 pounds of cordite, highest
explosive known, and is having
it made into automobile leather,
by special process.
Hundreds of millions worth of
high explosives made for war are

made into coverings for furni-

Innings for coffins. That is bet

customers for coffins.
The able managers of the Du
Pont Company had long ago
made leather with by-products of
their explosive plant. Ford is
using the inexhaustible supplies
of explosives for the same pur-
pose.
