Foolish to Take Offense

Dear Cynthia--will you please give
me a little advice?
have been going with a fellow three
years my senior for n year and half
and we expect to be married next year.
few weeks ago we tmy friend and y
were out In my fathers car and when we
came home, as It was rather early. he
suggested going to his sisters home. We
started. but instead Of stopping at his
sisters he stopped at n girl friends
house. The girl. who I know slightly.
WAS sitting on the front porch with q
boy and girl friend, 70 my friend stopped
the car, called to them asking them II
they wanted n ride. They went and we
all had a good time except myself. I
felt hurt because ! wasn't even asked
whether we should stop at the girls
house or not.
Cynthia. what shall I do about It?
I wouldn't like to lose him. but don't
want the same thing repeated.
LOLA.
You are very foolish to be hurt over
such n small matter. The young man
evidently asked these people on the spur
Of the moment without stopping to think.
Why not say to him: II think 1t would
have been nicer to say something to me
before asking those people to ride with
| u.s." But at the same time it's wisest
not to show any ugliness about II.

A Linen Shower

MISS F. B.-A most attractive and at
the same time unusual manner In which
to give the presents at linen shower Is
TO hang them on white ribbons suspend
ed from chandeliers, curtain poles and
other high places. Hang them In the
dining room or where the refreshments
will Be, so as to have them as a COM
plete surprise. After the guests have
ali assembled the guest Of honor will
unwrap her gifts. But If you do not
care to attempt anything quite so
elaborate, arrange the packages on a
large chair or lounge If you are going
to play bridge or something like that.
the best time to open the presents Is
after you have finished and just before
you serve the ice cream and sandwiches.

A SOUND BUSINESS PRINCIPLE

Reduce the overhead, is sound
maxim for increasing the profits of
any business. One way to reduce the
overhead is to use the plant or office
sixteen hours day instead of eight,
or ten hours a day instead of five.
And if the "plant" happens to be a
public school, the rule no less holds
good.
The community with good school
buildings which does not utilize them
for some good purpose outside of the
normal five hours of school, five days
a week, is not making as much profit
on its investment in those schools as
might be had.
Many communities use their schools
for Americanization purposes in the
evenings. There are thousands of for
eigners in this country who are eager
to be of, as well as in, the land of
their adoption. They hunger for
American ideas-to transform that
hunger into one for American ideals
is as fine work as can be done in a
school.
1t costs little; if it costs much, it
would still be worth it. To take those
of alien birth who know nothing of the
Stars and Stripes save that they form
the flag of America, and teach them
that for which it stands--justice, toll
Grafton, religious freedom, liberty,
safety of person and property, de-

thing else than names; give them a
chance to go out in our strenuous &C.
onomic life fitted to cope with Amer
leans on basis of mutual American
ism; that is to reduce the overhead
on the schools on one hand, and pay
great dividends to the State on the
other.
Not all foreigners here want to be
Americanized. But of those who do,
a large number know not which way
to turn. The school building, other

These are the means to which he

THE AUTO DEMON

1t is almost a positive fact that in
no county in the United States land
that's taking a lot of territory are
there any more serious automobile
accidents than are daily recorded in
st. Francois county.
Various reasons are assigned for
this condition. Some people maintain
that the road conditions and lack Of
repair to roads is indirectly response
BILE for the large toll of lives that are
taken, while others contend that the
reckless driving is responsible; while
a third contingent of automobile
drivers maintain that the road hogs
and light hogs are to blame for the
numerous accidents.
While it is true that there are spots
on the roads throughout the county
that require attention, it must be
borne in mind that St. Francois county
roads are considered better than the
average roads throughout this sec
ton of the state, yet accidents are
fewer where the roads are said to be
in worse condition than are ours.
The road hogs are to blame for
some of the accidents, while the au-
toist who refuses to dim his lights,
knowing that he is binding the man
coming toward him, is just as much a
criminal, in the event of death or in
jury, as though he MANNED the in
jured person by shooting or otherwise
attacking him.
Recklessness in driving and mex
perience are to be counted with in
finding the cause for the existing con-
ditions. The recklessness of some of
the drivers in st. Francois county, is
only too noticeable to the stranger,
who has been in the habit of driving
where the roads are patrolled, and the
driver compelled to conform to state
speed laws and other rules of the
road provided for safety purposes.
As matter Of fact, we doubt very
much, whether improved roads would
not add, rather than subtract from
the number of accidents. The reck-
less driver will speed up, the mo-
ment he finds smooth piece Of road,
unless that road is patrolled and he
has vivid realization of coming in
contact with people empowered to ar
rest him, for his infraction of road
laws.
In the absence Of such officials and
likewise necessary laws, cannot the
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-12-15

local people be prevailed upon to
show the consideration for the lives
of others that they would in turn ex-
pect to be shown them, if the speed
mania were not their own? If the
impression could be brought home to
the inconsiderate that they are en-
gazing in death dealing tactics when
driving recklessly, and that they are
guilty of murder if through their tao
tics they kill the opposing driver, per-
haps they would at least hesitate be-
fore driving their machines in man
ner that spells trouble for every man
on the road. including themselves.
Think it over. Perhaps you will
drive with more consideration for the
other fellow, hereafter, and thus re-
duce the number of accidents, injuries
and deaths in st. Francois county

One of the best games of basket
ball that has been played this season
on the local court, was played Friday
night between the Elvins mill team
and the athletic club team Of this
place. The game was fast and full Of
pep from the time the referee sound
cd the whistle at the beginning of the
game to the time he sounded it to the
finish. Prof. Altheuser, of Desloge,
refereed his usual good game, show
ing fairness in all his decisions TO
both teams. A minute or so before the
time was up for the finish of the
game, the score stood Is to Is in fay-
or of Elvins, but just before the
whistle sounded the lockwood boys
made a field goal. The ball went
through the basket just as the whis-
tie sounded This tied the score with
10 points for each team. 1t was de-
cided by the coaches of both teams
that they should play five minutes
longer, but some of the Elvins boys
decided not to lpay any more that
night, and the score stood tie. The
game was little rough on both
sides, as all fast games are, and we
would like to see more of these games
il the players on both sides will con-
slider themselves bound to abide by
the decisions of the referee, just the
same as high school girls and boys do.
