wife having small independent fortune Of
her own, but it is to the honor of American
men that mighty few of them are for sale.
No girls have so few beaux, or such limited
opportunities for marrying, as the poor little
rich girls.
Many girls go in for athletics in the
fond belief that they can chase down hus-
band on the golf links, or knock him out in
a tennis court It's another wrong guess.
Unless a woman plays a good game she bores
man to death. If she does play good
game she rouses his antagonism by becom-
ing his rival, and if she beats him at a game
she is done for. mans vanity cannot en-
dure that woman should surpass him, es-
pecially in anything requiring strength. He
is still strong for the sturdy oak and the
clinging vine theory, and he turns from the
lady golf champion to the fluffy ruffles on
the clubhouse veranda who tells him how
big, and husky, and wonderful he is.
"And if it isn't beauty, or brains, or mon
ey, or clothes, or athletic prowess in girl
that attracts man, what is it?
st think that the greatest attraction that
any woman can have is for her to be what
the Spaniards call sympatica. That is the
charm Of charms, the spell that works on
everything masculine between the cradle and
the grave.
man likes woman who can enter into
all of his interests with him, who can listen
unweariedly while he talks about himself
by the hour; who can appear madly enter
tanned by every detail or the grocery trade,
or what he said to the boss and the boss
said to him; woman who hangs on his
lips as he tells how many miles an hour he
can make in his machine, or describes how
he played fish for two hours up and down
a stream. A man likes a woman to whom
he can brag as he would be ashamed to brag
to any man, and to whom he can sob out
his hard luck story when things go wrong.
"a man likes woman to have good, COM
mon sense, to be reasonable, and practical,
and above all to be domestic. Far more men
marry to get home than women do, and
nothing makes man begin to think serious
ly of any woman quickly as finding out
that she is on speaking terms with gas
stove, and knows how to broil a steak.
1.-TWO other things that attract men are
gentleness and modesty. Men like women
who have low, soft voices, who can move
around without knocking things over, who
are tender about hurting other peoples feel
ings, and who have about them an air of
innocence and purity. 1t takes mighty
coarse man to be attracted to high-tem-
pered Virago, or a bold looking woman who
tells smutty stories.
when all is said, it is the old-fashioned
virtues that men like in women, and the
more womanly woman is, the more she
attracts men,"

paper every Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Thanks to Health Workers

vEALTH conservationists and their
II helpers who have worked for long
years, ofttimes in the frown Of heavy
discopragements, are now witnessing the
fruits of their goodly labor. The lowest death
rate America ever has known was recorded
in 1921, being but 8.54 per thousand lives,
which is thirteen per cent lower than in
1920 and nearly thirty-two per cent lower
than in 1911. These computations are based
upon the statistics of great life insurance
company having some fourteen million wide
ly distributed industrial policy holders in
the United States and CANADA, who repre-
sent all vocations and ages and constitute
about one-eighth of the aggregate popula-
ton. The figures thus may be taken as a
fair index.
Their significance is the more striking
when we consider, as one analyst has point
ed out, that "if the 1920 death rate had
prevailed in 1921, eighteen thousand six
hundred and sixty-one more persons would
have died." and that if the 1911 rate had
prevailed, there would have been hfty-rour
thousand nine hundred and forty-tWo more
deaths. The purely economic aspect OF this
great saving aside from it's measureless
human Importance makes million times
worthwhile the effort that brought it to
pass. Reduction of mortality means reduc-
ton of disease, and heAce gains IN etfl-
cheney, along with economies of time and
labor No wonder that far-sighted industrial
sanitary and hygienic standards and invest
literally in safeguards to- the health of their
employees. - .
While rejoicing in such achievements as
that of cutting the tuberculosis death rate
in half within period of eleven years, let
us remember who it is we have to thank. Had
it not been for the great-hearted, systemat-
ic, scientific endeavors of institutions such
as the Atlanta Anti-Tuberculosis Assoc1a-
ton, those splendid records would not have
been written. The public health worker, the
board of sanitation, the medical inspector,
the visiting nurse, the scientist, the phys1-
clan and all who support and encourage
these regulars in the ranks Of health de-
tense, to them are the community and ma
ton everlastingly indebted. Year after year
they labored in faith, despite the ignorance
and inertia which a movement like theirs
needs must overcome before even the be-
ginnings of its glorious results can be fair
ly seen: Prejudice assaulted, Indifference OBJ
structed, lawmakers were frequently un-
responsive, the public often appeared I'M
teachable. But the pioneers in health con-
servation toiled persistently on, gaining
little now and then until at last the great
ness of their cause is recognized and that
which they sowed in obscurity is springing
to it's harvest of renown.

| ~HE one thing that every woman
! would like to know more than any
thing else in the wide world is what
bait to use when she becomes fisher
of men.
| What qualities do men admire most in
women? What is the secret of the mys-
terious allure some women seem to have
| for every man? Why do some women
| draw men to them, and others repulse
| them? Why can some women marry half
a dozen times while others never have
| single proposal?
| If any woman has solved this riddle of
the Sphinx she keeps her precious knowl-
| edge to herself. If men really know what
| is the charm by which they are conjured
they are generally silent on the subject, but
the other day when this burning subject
was being discussed; man said:
"Of course, women all believe that the
thing that attracts man first to a woman
| is a pretty face. Probably this is true, but
beauty is a sort Of show window attrac-
| ton. A man likes to look at a girl who
| is easy on the eyes. He likes to take out
woman who is such sumner that she
makes everybody rubber, but that's about
ALL unless it happens that the living pic.
| ture has a mind and heart that are as
! we'll adorned as her body.
"And that doesn't happen often because
when nature lavishes a lot of extra frills
on the outside of anybody, either man or
woman, she is mighty apt to scimp on the
! inside furnishings. Most men are content
| to admire the living picture from a dis
lance, and let some other man provide the
house to hang it in. Also beauties almost
| invariably lose their hold on men when
| their looks fade, so I you'd not rank
| beauty very high as husband getter.
| GAS for intelligence, only the hundredth
| man is attracted by intellectually in a
woman. The balance have no relish for
feminine brains unless they are scrambled
It takes a bigger man than the average
| man is to desire a wife who knows more
| than he does.
'The happy husband is the one who is
married to a woman who has just enough
! intelligence to run her house thriftily, and
| to follow meekly along in his way, and
I believe that every time he speaks she
| listens to the voice of an oracle.
women think that they attract men by
| dressing like fashion plates, but it is only
! the non-marrying men who are keen about
| chiftons, and jewels, and furs and chase
around after baby dolls. A man who is
| looking for a wife isn't deliberately hunt
| ing up a lady who will blow in his whole
| income on imported finery.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin Cobb

HOW TO BEAT THE SYSTEM
"Tiny' Maxwell is a sporting writer in
Philadelphia He is called 'Ttny' because
he is about the Size of two-ton tractor. He
has ready wit, as his readers will testify.
Because he is an expert at football and
also because back in his college days he was
a gridiron star of magnitude, Mr.. Maxwell
frequently is called upon in the season to
referee games along the Eastern Seaboard
One afternoon last fall he was officiating
at match between Georgetown, which, as
everybody knows, is a Catholic institution,
and team representing a southern univer-
sity, In an interval one of the southern play
ers limped up to Maxwell.
"Mr. Referee" he said, 81 want to make
protest. There's one of those Georgetown
men that seems to have a private grudge
against me. Every time we two get in a
scrimmage together he bites me. Yes sir,
he just hauls off and bites me. don't want
to start any rough house stuff, but I'm get
ting good and tired of having that big Irish
man biting on me. What had 1 better do?'
81 should advise" said Tiny, that yon
play him only on Fridays"

TT is fittingly suggested that the Society
for the Prevention Of Needless Noises
launch campaign against harsh, jang
ling tones of speech. Few things would add
to the amenities of stressful life more than
voices soft and Ginning. Too much CONVEX
sation is in the key if not the mood Of jazz,
and painfully often one encounters a voice
that seems to vie with the "squealing of the
wry-neck'd fife" or the rafting of an iron
monger's rickety cart. Fretfulness, hurried
ness, worriedness and strident self-assertion
are heard as persistent notes, not only in the
clustering, high-sea tunes of trade, but even
in that home-haven, where discords all should
melt to merry or gracious music.
Voice, like gesture, is chiefly meaningful
FOR the inner drama it bodies forth The soft
answer turneth away wrath because the spir-
it in which it is uttered is masterful, and,
therefore, calm. A huckster needs must
bawl his pettiest advantage, but how quietly
does a king declare himself. So, too, the
momentous answers to our human question
ing come not in whirlwind or earthquake but
in voice still and small, as if sunbeam
should speak and tell of the imperial splen-
dour whence it came. Soft ever soft, are the
rarest voices and to know them one must be
still.

Big Work By a Little Nation

~ NE of the most potent forces for recon-
4 struction in Europe, far-seeing OBJ
servers say, is to be found in one of
the smallest Of countries. CZecho-Slovakia,
in area less than Georgia and in population
less than either Rumania Jugo-Slavia,
with whom it forms the Little Entente, is
credited with having done great deal for
peace and stability in that troublous region.
But recently at odds with Poland, it has ef-
fected friendly relationships through COM
mercial and political treaty which only wise
craftsmanship could have brought to pass
Moreover, it has stretched a generously help
full hand to Austria, its oppressor of old.
Touching this particularly notable service,
correspondent of the Paris OEUVRE re-
ports:
cit will be remembered that the financial
conference at Brussels had drawn up plan
for the reconstruction Of Austria, but this
plan demanded first of all that all the powers
which were creditors of Austria should grant
her twenty years propagation of her credit
AS America would not sign this condition the
plan of the Brussels conference was suspend
ed. Now, Premier Benes, of CZecho-Slovakia
has undertaken what the world dared not
risk; he has opened credit for the Austrian
Republic of five hundred million Czech
crowns, which represents no less than a hun
dred billion Austrian crowns. And Vienna,
whose only hope was in Berlin now begins to
look towards Prague. At the same time that
M. Benes was carrying on his bold foreign
policy he was recognizing economically and
financially his own country, balancing its
budget developing its industry which exports
now forty per cent of it's total production,
and ameliorating it's exchange"
From it's shining traditions one would have
expected goodly governmental results of
echo-Slovakia, once it's people were free
to express their genius; but this record OF
international influence and service is pecu-
liarly splendid.

BUSY AT NINETY-SIX
By H. Addington Bruce

MOT long ago physician DR.. William Glib
~ son, died in Scotland at the age of ninety
eight. At the time of his death Dr.. Glib
son was the oldest medical man in the British
Isles. And until within little more than year
of his death he had been an exceedingly active
medical man.
Fully half century before, he had been ap-
pointed health officer of his home town, Camp
belltown, in Argylshire. Later he was ap-
pointed or elected to other official positions.
These he held until his retirement from the
practice of his profession when upward of
ninetySeven years old.
And we are assured by the correspondent of
medical journal that, both as a public health
officer and practicing physician, DR.. Gibson
kept himself alertly up-to-date in medical
knowledge and sanitary science, More spe-
officially:
"Eiis periodic reports to the Town Council on
the health of the burgh were models of clarity
and conciseness. Even recently his advice on a
new housing scheme, given at an evening meet
ing, showed a thorough grasp of the question
ITO the end he was possessed of all his facul-
ties, except for certain degree of neatness."
Through the same correspondent we are af-
forded Interesting and instructive glimpseS as
to DR.. Gibson's own ideas regarding the factors
which counted for most in keeping him not
merely so long-lived but so efficiently long
lived.
Cup to the end" it appears, che worked on
foot, often saying that the exercise of walking
was valuable precaution against the infirnitieS
of advancing years. His tall, spare figure
moving about the town will be missed for
many day.
"Apart from his busy professional life his
hobby was gardening. He not only engaged
in the manual work but reyelled in it, regard
ing it also as means of preserving his physical
fitness. At the annual flower show he was a
keen competitor"
Enthusiasm for work, enthusiasm in recrea-
ton, simplicity in living habits, fond1esS OF
outdoor life, and appreciation of the value Of
fresh air-others besides DR.. Gibson have found
that these are invaluable aids to the winning
of long life and worthwhile old age. There
are no aids more valuable
And few are those who cannot contrive to
gain and use Them
The gaining and the using may, to be sure
mean the relinquishing of some things shat are
perhaps accounted highly desirable-late hours,
rich foods, luxuries, display, perpetual quest or
pleasure. But who that is sensible would hesl-
tate in making a choice?

George Harvey Wears a S10ord
WITH all it's romance and distinction
M Princess Mary's wedding scene had


one preposterously comical figure.
That begoggled parsonage whom some mis-
chievous Puck tricked the President into
sending as American ambassador to the
Court of St. James was present in knee
breeches and bedight with a sword. o
Zeus! o Hermes! o all We gods of Homeric
laughter, with Bre'r Rabbit and the briar
patch to boot! Picture George Harvey in
knee breeches, and dangling a sword!
Says one who held his sides to weigh the
etiquette of the situation: when a Chinese
goes officially to a British state event, he
goes as a Chinese in the garments that his
own national taste tells him are proper; he
has his own traditions and customs and they
are accepted good. No British chamberlain
would tell a Persian, Turk, on Congo chief
tain what to wear. Sitting Bull could have
entered Westminster Abbey IN feathers and
pu--a.o skim But Colonel George Harvey,
the ever captious, hyper-critical, super
punctilious, who processes to know more
about everything than most men would
claim to know of anything, needs must ap-
pear in KNEE BREF'CHES and toying Ex-
calibur. Whether it was his calf or his shin
that he took chief pride in exhibiting for
, royalty's delectation, the scribes do not re-
late; but there is manifest rejoicing that he
did not trip on his blade and tumble on his
nose.
It is with some difficulty that his coun-
trymen essay to think of the Colonel as "a
glass of fashion and mold of FORM" so
often has he played the part of sneering
belittler of ideals that most normal minds
hold sacred. But they will welcome his later
role, for all it's righteousness, if only he
will discard the former. Knee breeches and
sword may render him a droll figure in
deed at post which truly great Americans
have dignified; but at least that parapher-
MALTA is preferable to his wonted mud-sling.

Tangled Matrimony

Fate, revolving around marriage license
issued in 1912, worked it's devious way for
ten years with Daniel o. Yazzy and Miss
Lou Bradbury, both of Detroit, when Daniel,
after stormy voyage on the sea of matri-
mony, through the divorce court and back
to double harness. remarked the first
choice of his heart.
Daniel and Lou were married in the early
1900's, but quarreled and were divorced.
The couple were sweethearts from school
days in Indiana and, as they say now, "their
quarrel was all about nothing"
Then Daniel met another love" and led
her to the altar, but within a few years he
was back in the divorce court again.
In 1912 Daniel met Lou again and began
to court his former first wife. Things ap-
preached a stage where he thought it adj
visable to have a marriage license handy,
and he secured one, but Lou proved coy and
refused to take "the chance" And so for
the last ten years Daniel has been trying to
persuade Lou he was the fright man"
He succeeded and the couple went before
minister who agreed to re-marry them,
but when he took a look at the license dated
1912 he told them to get a new one. The
license bureau held though that with new
envelope to replace the time-worn wrapper,
it was as good as new and the minister
would have to be satisfied with 1912 date.
