Legal Help No Good
MENDING HEARTACHES
By Margery Rex.

You see, where a woman 10 more
In the open and manages her own
affairs she really doesn't speak
first.
''If she is behind the curtain and
particularly behind her Continental
mother, she may let the mother
know that she wouldn't be sorry to
have certain young man speak for
her hand.
COLD IRON CAN'T BE sMELTED.
There are really two sides to the
French marriage.
4 think that the ordinary human
reasons actuate II. but the formula
only Is different The parents work
the deal.
'Tt Is apt TO be an early marriage.
as I've already said. but IL will bear
repeating In connection with this
affair. / do certainly think the cure
Is early marriage.
Economics should be so arrang-
ed that a man and a woman couldn't
be married too early.
What age for eachf When Q
mans a man and when q woman's
a woman.
ITO tie up two pieces of cold iron
with a piece of string cannot make
them one. They are different and
they must be red-hot to be smelted-
i cannot approve of a prudent mar
riage for that reason.
THE rash marriage Is the only
wise marriage.
Prudent marriage-there IL no
such thing. ~
'The very act of tying ones self
to another is not OF itself prudent.
ut Is an adventure-likeg going to
war.
1T is the same for everyone. rich
and poor.
NOBLE TRAGEDY.
Meanwhile the primary instincts
should be put straight at the time
when they need to be.
There Is this ridiculous modern
chimera to get rid of tragedy.
but the facts are old and cannot be
relieved in any such way.
That Is where the silly divorce
enthusiasts are wrong. They want
TO accomplish something by sorting
out yet again and pairing OF people
In new couples-thus to be happy.
The tragedy of sex is In the
tragedy of the soul of man.
One can be faithful, though the
other is not. You will find in mar
riage. in free love or in no free love,
the same tragedy.
Il am a great believer in religious
principle, and think the difference in
the two types of tragedy is that in
one case-the noble tragedy-we
must believe in God and try to do
our duty"

The White
Collar Man

We hear a great deal these days
of the white collar man. In other
words, the man who doesn't get
enough money for his professional
services.
Are you a white collar man?
If so, how do you keep 1t white?
Or is 1t white only for about two
hours in the morning?
When your collar comes home
from the laundry, has the laundry
whitened your collar or merely
sharpened it?
DO you wear hard collars or soft
collars? These are all important
questions which must be taken
into consideration when, approach
in the geat subject we have in
hand.
Have you ever tried celluloid col
lars-the kind you launder under a
pump In the back yard?
II you wear one of these glisten-
ing confections, life will be a great
deal easier. You won't have to
work at all. When you go looking
for job, nobody will give you one.
II you add to the celluloid collar
bright red necktie. you may never
have to work again in your life, as
you are l1able to be taken over Tor
being q Bolsheviki and have a
chance to room and board at the
expense of the Government.
The problem of the white collar
man Is, indeed a complicated one.
The first task IL to get the collar.
II now costs forty cents where II
used to be possible to get them for
a quarter. 1t has been estimated
by experts that a good forty-cent
white collar will stay white in
Washington exactly twenty-eight
minutes. In Pittsburgh and Chicago
the limit is sixteen minutes.
The only way to be a white col
lar man, In fact as we'll as in name,
Is to support a stable of these col
lars, which Is possible only with a
man OF great wsIth.
After getting the collar IL Is nee
essary to have something to hook
the collar on. IL IL customary to
use. a shirt for this purpose and, IL
you are spry at getting around and
fnding bargains, IL is possible to
get a good f1.5O shirt for s7.35,
which Is a good deal to pay for a
mere anchor for a collar.

Grow Young
with the Boys
Bv DIR. VIM. A. Mckcevcr.

By DR.. VIM. A. Mckcevcr.
Dad. il your age is anywhere
under sixty, get out at about bed
time and run a 300-yard dog trot
with your ten-year-old boy. You
will be a bit stiff at the game and
must go slow at first. However.
the exercise will prove a fine tonic
for your health and will contribute
even more to the child's healthy
development.
One of the secrets of a high life
line is what we have been accus-
toned to call second wind 1t
comes after a certain amount of
cxertion, especially running, and
seems to give the runner degree
of case and acceleration that you
give a motor car by shifting from
medium to high gear.
At this particular point the
chest cavity appears to expand,
the heart and blood to take new
leap and there is a sense of ex-
hilaration. Too many Of our boys
grow up flat chested. They seem
never to experience second wind.
They are not taught to shift to
nigh ana so must go All turousH
life on low" or medium"
Doubtless the average man thir-
ty-nine to fifty-nine will pun and
steam like superheated engine
in case he begins the practice with
a dash: and he certainly should
not do so. Indeed. I would caution
him to proceed with unusual care,
and to extend the exercise only by
very slow degrees. After the hrst
month, however, there will lbe a
marked improvement-shor wind.
flabbiness, goose flesh," and tired
feeling all gone.
what the father gets out OF the
running exercise may be consid-
cred merely as a happy incident
The growing body must have some
such rigorous use or remain soft
and lacking in manly courage and
aggressiveness.
Where to run. that Is different
matter. However, back lot or
even a street course may be avail
able at p. m. And while a man
might feel and appear foolish run
ming alone, with a rollicking boy
at his side II is different. He and
all those In sight will regard the
exercise as pleasing game.
Sometimes large basement or
attic will lbs available for the
sprinting gsms.

~ YOU know that it makes peo-
pie very angry to have their
- invitations declined?
Even though you have good,
plausible reason.
But are your reasons good
honest? We are careless, rude.
Sometimes it is because we are ig-
norant of conventional regulations.
often 1t is absolute disregard for

can tell pretty interesting
story regarding my experiences
with a blonde girl.
About two years ago I was what
people called fast. In order to get
enough money to satisfy a few
friends i did not stop at anything,
even doing dishonest acts. Among
these girls not one was blonde.
Then one day i met blonde girl on
a visit to one of my relations, and
after escorting her home ] was in
vited TO call again.
That day was the turning point IN
my life. AS time went on and my
visits grew more frequent l gradu-
ally broke-pway from the old life,
of which this girl was ignorant and
which really kept one from asking
for her company.
Then one day / made a full con-
fession to her, and although IT
shocked her and also made her feel
bad, am happy to say l Will soon
be starting a nice little home for
the best little girl / have ever met
and she is a blonde. FRED X.

FRIED CHICKEN.

FRIED CHICKEN.
IL has been said that there are
as many ways to fry chicken as
there are ways TO make a mint
julep. Be that as IL may, this is the
way the chicken is fried at the
Dover House.
The chicken should be killed not
over two hours before II Is to be
eaten. AS soon as II Is picked and
drawn cut In pieces suitable for
frying. Lay IL In cold water. in
which Is good handful OF salt.
This draws all the heat out of the
flesh. leaving II tender and with
a delicious flavor. Wipe dry and
dip In a plate in which salt, pepper.
and hour have been mixed. Lay
In hot fat. preferably bacon fat.
A fiaky crust almost directly forms
owing to the albumen on the fresh
ly killed flesh having been brought
out by lying In the salted cold
water. This crust prevents the
grease from soaking into the meat
OF the chicken. When q fine brown
crust has formed. turn the pieces
over and brown the other side.
When II is all the same brown lift
out Of the pan. place on a pie
plate, or shallow pan. and keep
warm until all the chicken Is fried.
Now put all the fried chicken in
the frying pan. from which the
grease has been poured. but not
washed. and pour over the fried
chicken about a quarter OF n cup
of boiling water not any more.
The top OF the pan is now placed
over this. II must be tight Mt
ting top. Pull the pan TO one side
OF the range and leave IL there for
a half hour. or even longer IL nee
essary. 1t will be tender, juicy
and OF remarkable flavor.
When the chicken Is inclined to
be tough, allow IL to remain an
hour in this steaming pan. Should
you have fried chicken left ovor<
from a meal and wish to heat 1t.
you can have II more nearly like
freshly fried chicken by placing IL
in a covered frying pan and pour
ing the least bit of water over II
than by trying any other way.
Fried chicken. however. must be
freshly fried. The flavor Is never
the same when 1t has been al
lowed to become cool.-Mrs. Percy
Duvall.
