Question Box, The Atlanta Tri-Week-
ly Journal, Atlanta. Ga
Dear Folks:
I am afraid that soon you will be
saying Aunt Julia is radio fam"
I say afraid, don't mean that, for
L mglad that I'm living in such
an age, where such a wonderful in
vention as the radio exists.
| Have you ever stopped to think
| just what a radio may mean to peo-
pie in out-of-the-way places? For
instance, our office received letter
from a lighthouse keeper, a man
who has been given a medal for his
bravery in making a heroic rescue
up on the great lakes. He writes
that he receives our concerts at
night, when you may imagine that
life seems pretty shut off and lonely,
and that he is passing the word
| along to other keepers Of the lights
/ that they, too, can get in touch with
the outside world If they'll just
listen-in for our WSB, Atlanta Jour
nal broadcasting station. I can tell
| you, it gave me a thrill to think of
| it. Another thing that enthused me
was that one of the worst rock
bound coast stretches Of our side of
the Atlantic, signal, warning ships
Of their danger in approaching this
point in fog, is sent for many miles
to sea, a far enough distance to give
them sufficient time to steer a clear
course. r. ..'
If had my way, I'd put radio
set in every house in our country.
! Possibly all of us would get broad
er vision if we could do that.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
Margaret:
Yes, believe that the side dra-
peries will be even more popular
this season than last. These dra.
peries are generally longer than
the dress. OF course, the very flat
heels cannot stay in with these
longer skirts. For walking, I i'm
/ agine the woman who cares for COM
fort will wear a heel on the order of
| the military.
Lee:
| There Is federal cemetery at
Marietta, Ga. The Confederate
cemetery gets a stipulated amount
from the state, just what that is I
| do not know exactly, not sufficient
| to keep it in the order it should be
kept. The Daughters Of the Con-
federacy do most of The work that is
| done. 1t does not matter which side
/ a man died for, if he fought accord
ing to his convictions he is a hero.
Interest:
You'll think Aunt Julia an old
fogy, fear, but I really cannot ad-
wise any young man to go Into
stocks" Of any kind, the truth is I
do not know enough about them. Am
also strong believer in government
bonds and good savings banks. The
interest may not be SO spectacular,
but IT'S SURE.
Mary:
Am wondering if you are asking
me seriously what I think about
girls smoking cigarettes, or whether,
as the boys say, You're trying to
get a rise out of me-" Well, here
it is: In no other country in the
world are the women put on so high
plane as in our own country. Then
why should we do things that will,
beyond doubt, make men think
less of us? A man, speaking of the
same thing a few weeks ago, said
frankly that woman slid down the
scale Of his respect when she smok-
ed. That men might talk to her
about being a good pal, but as rule
he would not look at her as the ideal
woman to bear his name, and pos
sibly mother his children.
Motor:
Of course, I'm not an authority on
automobiles, but this is certainly a
thing that has proven itself. When
you have to start out in storm,
first wipe your windshield inside
and out with cloth dipped in vine.
gar, it will keep your glass clear in
almost any weather, and certainly is
very little trouble.
