Hero GETS His REQUEST.

Recently two French soldiers were
bathing in the Rhine river. Since they
we're unable to swim, the soldiers were
in serious condition. A young Ger
man, who was watching, swan out and
rescued both of them. The French
tribunal to reward him, promised that
anything he asked would be granted
He asked that the lives of seven men,
who had been condemned to be shot
for causing trouble to the French au-
thorities, might be spared. The request
was granted.

RUNS STATE BUDGET
AS SHE. WOULD A HOME
BY GENE COIN
NEA Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March g.
California's finances are bossed by q
woman-Mrs. Nellie Brewer Pierce.
When Friend W. Richardson was
running for governor he promised
economy. Elected, he summoned
Mrs. Pierce to put it into effect for
him.
Probably she's the first woman
who ever drafted state budget.
How she slashed figures.
How much she'll have saved by
the end of her first year as budget
director it's too soon to say yet, but
all indications are that the total
will run into many, many millions.
OF course her economies haven't
been popular with politicians. Whole
broadsides of attacks have been di-
rected against her. Mrs. Pierce
doesn't run and hide, however.
When she answers at all, it's to de-
fend herself vigorously. She's polite
about it-but unyielding.
EVERY woman who's ever run a
home knows what figuring and
economy mean" she says. State
budget-making' the same as home
budget-making except on larger

Modernism, as expressed by the
cheek -to-cheek dance, smoking by
girls and other extravagances, is to
my mind foolish, but not necessarily
dangerous.
Personally am not in favor of
women "wooing nicotine" as the
phrase goes. This from a health
standpoint alone, however.
1t cannot be argued that woman,
merely because she is a woman,
should not smoke. To admit that
would be to grant that man, merely
things women do.
This age is setting aside a lot Of
foolish Victorian ideas promised on
accepted inequality between the
sexes.
Principally 1923 stands for eman-
ipation-though it is to be regretted
that some few have nisconstrued
liberty for license, and thus preju-
dice the thinking world against those
who seek to use their new freedom
to good advantage.
The fiapper is not to be misjudged
by that type of parasite who exploits
new manners for evil ends.

Gated with the joyful ecstacy of her
liberty.
Like a captive just released from
long bondage she perhaps rushes
about, too glad in her moment of
freedom to realize what it is all
about or to care to comprehend the
reason for it all.
Give her time and she is going to
settle down, none the worse for her
gambol on the green, but much
wiser and stronger for the expert
