! disappointment without making faces, ana
| says eyes" and lives comfortably ever after.
The re lily bashful man hurls his proposal
at a woman as if it were a bomb. 1t comes
to her out of clear sky, with no prellml-
nary flourish or warning, and she has got TO
to take it or leave it on the spot, because
he will never screw his courage up to gong
through the ordeal a second time
Strangely enough, no woman ever tails
to interpret rightly the bashful wooers In
coherent haIf-uttered proposal, and she gen
orally accepts it because she knows there is
peace and rest in a husband who regards
love-making as one of the fortunes OF the In
QUESTION.
There's the widower. He always begins
his love-making by telling woman how
much she is like his late lamented Maria,
and he ends by offering her the deceased
lady's shoes.
1t is a marvel how any man can have lit
tie enough sense not IL know that there new
er was woman from Lucrez1a BorglaN down
whom a woman wouldn't rather resemble
than the first wife of the man she loves, ana
she would dearly like to say mo" except that
a good householder widower is too mucn
of preferred matrimonial risk to let slip.
Then there is the proposal by letter, which
is a mean, dastardly trick because it robs
woman of the one big thrill of her lifetime.
And there's the platonic near-proposal which
seems to be the real thing until woman
supplies the acid test, and finds that 1t makes
no mention of any wedding day.
There are all sorts of proposals, except the
real honest-to-g goodness one in which the man
gets down to brass tacks, and makes as
square a. love proposition to woman as ne
would business proposition to a man. NO
man makes that.
When the ordinary man pops the question
he tells the girl that she is an angel, and that
he worships her, and that all he asks OF life
is lust the privilege of adoring her, and that
if she will marry him she will never nave
ANYTHING to do but soothe his fevered brow.
He ISN'T say to her, ''Now see here, Mary
| lane I am a poor weak miserable human
shrimp. am cantankerous, and grouchy, ana
| fussy about my eating, and don't make out
forty dollars a week, and the woman VINO
marries me will have to work, and economic,
and wear made-over clothes, and have the
patience of Job but yoL are no world-beater
yourself and if you are bound to throw your
self away on some man it might as we'll be
ne as anybody else For I love you, GIRL
and will make you as decent husband as
I can. Are you sport enough to give me
try?"
Now that is what call nice, honest pro-
posal but no man ever tries it, and perhaps
no girl would say eyes" if he did. So there
you are, son.

An Ant;dote for Jazz

IN o the flesh by By S'os s ~ put
something in the blood that makes
things too hot for the invading trouble,
which then fades away.
Now we have the passing of jazz music,
so-called-and the incubation by wireless
speeding it on it's way, unregretted by all
save the more hopeless hysterlclsts OF the
time.
eve go in for fads, in America. And on
the whole it seems to be a healthy trend) .
Jazz music, imported from the dives OF
Buenos Aires by way Of New Orleans, began
sweeping this country along in 1913. up
the Mississippi River it spread, negro rousta-
bouts on the levees chanting strange new
"blues'' with wicked twist and Tilt.
Tramps in their camps-which they call
"jungles"-caught the infection ana calleu
it "snowbird music "snow" being the SUP
terrestrial name for cocaine, and snoWDlro
music the strikingly apt title for the super
stimulating strains that cause the terpslcno-
rean nearer to engage in antics not SO Tar

Apocalypse" describes the spread OF Jaza
music to France and the working up Oh
that nation into state of jazz emotlonal1sm
Psychiatrists recognized the jazz epidemic
as one of the peculiar waves or social
neurasthenia or hysteria which seem perloul-
cally to sweep countries ana soLleIlAlee ZIG
world.
Was it the wave of social hysteria, of
which Jazz music was a symptom-the trotn
on the wave-whch caused the World war
an outbreak of violent international In
sanity? ~,
Re that as it may, the war is over; the
reaction has set in The world is soperlns'
People are getting back to normal.
And jazz is passing.
Durino the late iaZZ epidemic Cnor6 was
a tremendous lot or anxiety In some quar-
ters over Young America, which seemed pc
culiarly smitten with spirit that some went
so far as to call prodigalism, while others
used even worse names.
Then one morning the country awoke to
find all the kids gone wild about wireless.
The radophone had cornered juvenile en-
thusiasm
Reverting to the proposition that we are
a nation of faddists, we find here an excel
lent antidote against jazz and its iniquitles
The boy who is tinkering with Hertz1an
waves is vaccinated against jazz; his feet
are on the ground, and his thoughts are in
the sky The astounding sweep of the long
range broadcaster has him in its spell. He is
planning great things and thinking clean
thoughts.
The radio-fan is a glorified boy, a boy
playing Indian, building shanties, flying
kites, staging amateur minstrel shows,
stringing little telegraph lines-and that,
whether he is fourteen or forty years Old
Back to the normal we go, flocking like
a lot of sheep, perhaps; shepherded by
wise and tender hand when we stray too far
"a hand that just now seems to be using
the sky-sweeping radio as shepherds crook.

A YOUTH who signs himself "bashful'
~ ! writes me that he is very much in
- love with a girl, and wants to ask
her to marry him. but he doesn't know how
to do it, And he asks me if I will tell him
how to word his proposal.
Why, son, there isn't any school of cor
respondence course in lovemaking that
teaches a cut-and-dried way of how to pop
the question. A proposal should bubble
right up from the heart with the heat and
fervor of volcanic eruption. 1t should be
something a man can't resist doing, not
something he has to have a formula for
doing and, after all, it doesn't really mat
ter how one does it, or what he says. If the
girl wants the man any old way is good
enough, and works, and if she doesn't want
him nothing he can say or do helps.
AS a matter of fact, the way in which
men pop the question depends very much
upon the type to which the man belongs.
There is the man, for instance who always
pulls the cave man stuff. He clutches a
woman to his breast with a force that
loosens her back hair, and smothers her with
kisses, and murmurs to her in a hoarse, pas
sionate whisper that she is his woman and
that he will fly with her to the ends of the
earth.
This style of wooing is very effective with
debutantes who are young and romantic, and
with women who are verging on spinster-
hood.
Then there's the poetic way of proposing.
This calls for the proper stage setting-a full
moon, a sequestered spot, secure from inter-
rupton, band playing soft music in the dis
lance. At the psychological moment, when
the girl has gotten properly doped up upon
atmosphere, the man takes her lily white
hand in his, and begins quoting mushy
poetry to her, and so leads her up along
flowery pathways, to the point in which he
invites her to dwell forever more in a fairy
castle with him.
This is beautiful way to propose, but 1t
is dangerous because if the man really
means business he suddenly finds that he
has forgotten his lines, and that his Adam
apple is about to choke him. Also the mod
ern maiden is hard-boiled proposition, and
she is mighty apt to be suspicious of a man
whose proposal shows too much technique
and finish. 1t looks to her as if he was over
trained, and had had too much experience.
Then there is the way the practical man
proposes. He puts about as much emotion
into asking woman for her heart and hand
as he would in getting sixty day option on
a carload of pig iron. He generally does it
in a restaurant after a good dinner, because
a full meal makes him yearn for all the COM
forts of home. He begins by telling girl
how much money he is making, and that ne
knows of nice, little apartment, or cute
bungalow that would just about suit them,
and then he asks her how she would like to
come and be his little housekeeper.
1t is blow to girl who haG dreamed OF
being wooed in beautiful, Robert w. Cham

to her with a garnish of roast beef, medium

Printing Press Money in Europe-By Frederic j. Hask1n

tendency on the part of Europeans to brlng
about hitherto undreamed-of metnou OIL
correcting the initiation. Many plans nave
been suggested but none has been found
practical The new development is one which,
if if continues, will tend to correct the slt-
nation without the aid of conferences or pol
iticians.
The DEVELOPMENT is hailed as reversal
of Greshams law. The fact seems to be that
the people of Russia, Germany and Polanu
and some of the other nations having pau
lv depreciated currencies have become SO
disgusted with the nuisance of dealing with
cheap money that they are bringing out Oh
hiding their boards of gold and otner val
liable money. case illustrating this new de-
yelopment recently was reported by Brit
ish trading firm This firm sold Dill OF
goods to a Russian dealer at Rostov. Pay
ment was received in a miscellaneous assort-
ment of cash. 1t consisted of American gold
checks drawn on American banks, American
bills of exchange, English currency ana
checks, Turkish gold and checks and notes.
French currency and checks and Russian
gold rubles. Obviously, with the exception or
the checks, this payment was made from
good money which doubtless had been hoard
ed since the war.
Agents of the American Relief admins
tration in Russia have reported similar IN
stances of people bringing out gold and otn-
er metal money. The same is true in Poland,
Germany and Austria.
Currency Revolution Seen
What economists see in this development
is the possibility of a gradual revolution IN
European currencies. For instance, the RUS
slams have discovered that their own rubles
are nearly useless but that they can get big
value for British or American or other good
money Consequently they will try to get
hold of as much of this foreign money as
possible.
In early days in Europe this same phe-
nomenon occurred. Money issued at the great
banking centers of Venice, Antwerp and a
few other cities came into general use all
over Europe, displacing cheaper native cur
rencies because everybody knew it was good
money.
Recently, the United States treasury re-
moved the ban from the free issue of gold
and gold certificates. 1t Is thought possible
by economists and students of international
finance that good deal of this gold money,
known all over the world as being the best
obtainable will reach the countries abroad
having deprecated currency and become
popular as a valuable medium OF exchange.
This has not been possible until the last few
days because the treasury and the Federal
Reserve banks would not let gold go into
general circulation, but now it is possible
for foreign-born Americans to get this mon
ey and send it to their relatives abroad.
1t is recognized that this process of substi-
tuition of foreign money for the deprecated
native currencies would be slow one, but
some economists believe that it is a possible
but necessarily slow solution to the Euro
pean emergency problem.

Shielding English Jur;es

~ NGLISH juries are to be shielded,
r we read, from the wiles and blandish-
ments of women lawyers. Regulations
have been formulated by the lord chancellors
committee to govern the sort of headgear and
dress in which women lawyers shall appear
at the bar
They shall wear ordinary barristers' wigs,
completely covering and concealing their own
hair; ordinary barristers' gowns; their
dresses beneath must be plain black or very
dark, high-necked, long-sleeved, not shorter
than the gown, with high, plain, white collar
and barristers' bands"
In other words, the only physical charm
which beautiful woman lawyer can bring
to bear upon the emotions of an English jury
is the charm of her face.
She can use her hands for making ges-
lures but cannot expose her arms--not even
her wrists. She can stamp her feet with i'm
patience or emphasis, but cannot beguile with
a discreet display of ankles. She can thrust
out her chin, but cannot expose any part OF
her neck.
She has her eyes left, and her complexion,
and the wtchery of her smile, but they are
about all. Some women are so beautiful
that these are enough to make mems heads
swim and cause them to go into kind of
trance. Should the lips and eyes of super
beautiful women lawyers begin to play havoc
upon English juries, undoubtedly the lord
chancellor's committee will formulate rules
to deprive them of the use of these charms.
It would probably be necessary to require
them to come into court with wells, like the
inmates of Turkish harems.
We cannot conceive such drastic regula-
tons being enforced in this land of boasted
freedom. Imagine the tide of feminine wrath
that would be visited upon state Legislature
which attempted to pass law regulating the
costume women lawyers should wear at the
bar. Picture the devastation that would be
visited upon judge who dared to interfere
in a matter so far afield of his judicial pre-
negatives.
American women lawyers, we venture to
predict, are going to appear at the bar in as
many clothes or as few clothes as they see fit
to wear. They are going to cut their skirts
as long or as short as they want to. 1t they
have a fancy for patent leather slippers and
drop-stitched hose, they are going to wear
them-especially when they have an argu-
ment to make to a jury. AS for long
sleeves, high-necked waists and high collars, I"
they are not even required in strict girls
boarding schools, much less imposed upon
free American women enjoying the sovereign
rights of citizenship.

Georgia S Vital Statistics

A CCEPTANCE of Georgia's death records
n by the Federal Census Bureau is one
Of the most important forward steps
ever taken in the public health work of this
State.
It was the goal toward which State Health
Department officials had been striving for
years, and the fact that Georgia's death
records are now approximatfng the complete
ness required by the Federal Census Bureau
is attested by the thoroughness of the in
spection made by Federal agents For five
weeks they audited and examined the death
statistics, then reported them up to the
Federal standard.
Georgia now takes her place in the list of
States having officially standardized and au-
thenticated death reports. The benefits to
the State cannot be estimated. There are
many new lines of business and many invest
ments that could not be brought to Georgia
because the State had no authentic record OF
it's death rate.
Full perfection of the record cannot be OBJ
tanned without additional money, and this
the Legislature should provide at its next
session. 1t should also provide the funds
necessary to gather a record of the births in
Georgia. Vital statistics are not complete in
the full sense of the word until there is a
complete, accurate record both of births and
deaths.
