'Temperamental Orgies" Drawback
to a Career" Lucy
Lowell Says
By Lucy Lowell.

But now, after a bare four
weeks, she has found a place
where she does the work she was
trained to do. She does it well and
her employers like her and she is
just about the happiest girl I
know.
What's more interesting Is her
way Of laughing at what she calls
her "temperamental orgy over
the loss Of the other place!
And it's set me to wondering
if all of us don't waste a great
deal Of time having tempermental
orgies over things that don't
count!
A famous actor remarked, a few
days ago, that there are in all of
us hidden reservoir of power
and ability whose existence are
not always suspected by others.
Perhaps we ourselves do not know
they are not there. and we go
along very comfortably using
them.
We hate to make the effort.
We're having a jolly time as it
is. Being bigger or doing some
thing better takes effort even If it
only is the effort Of being differ

WORK GIRLS
CLUB OVER
HUSBAND

~ ERKELEY, Cal.-"Independ-
ence is a fine club for any
~ woman to hold over the
head of man.
mo girl should be permitted to
marry unless she has made her
own living before marriage.
''One of the reasons for woman's
oppression has been that man
translated the Bible and made
miserable job Of it,"
These were some of the re-
marks made by DR.. Rudolph I.
Coffee, of Oakland, to members
of the Berkeley Business and
Professional Women's Club at
their monthly dinner.
DIR. Coffee made a plea for
mans recognition for higher
moral standards set by women
and for laws calling upon en-
trants into a marriage contract
to display clean bills of health"
Continuing his remarks, DR..
Coffee said:
"a new chord was struck In
the world when a woman married
after she had learned to make
her own way, and think
"OIIldH.S independence Is L4lIS
club to hold over the head of
man. A man knowing his wife
can go back to her place of bust
ness at any time she wishes and
probably earn more money than
he does, If he doesn't treat her
right, compels him to uphold his
end Of the marriage bargain.
That is why l believe no girl
should be allowed to marry un-
less she has made her own way
first. Man stands in awe of the
woman who has made a success
of her work, and it is well to
keep him So"
DIR. Coffee declared that women
lawmakers were a necessity, and
urged the women to make them
selves felt more strongly in this
regard.

SAP AND SALT
BY Bert Moses

Men who are able to make
much money are rarely able to
make much of a speech.
Many solemn men are stupid
and SO are many who are not
solemn.
It Is as hard to have jazz with
out a saxophone as to have a
scandal without a hotel.
The plumber Is the only man
on earth who enjoys the distinc-
ton Of getting everything he asks
for.
Marriage is always a success
when man puts his wife on the
same basis as a cook as he does
his mother.

~ They were cutting expenses
in the office where she worked,
you see, and since her job was
one of the sort which is not of
great moment to the business,
they abolished it for the time
being and turned her loose. And
she was frightfully worried and
blue. She just couldn't forget for
moment that she was "out
of work" and-wasn't it simply
dreadful?
Not that the job was so satisfac-
tory, nor that doing well the work
it called for was any special
credit to her.
This little friend Of mine, you
must understand, has spent much
time and a great deal Of money
in training for certain work. She
has ability, too, and all in the
world she needed was the right
opportunity to make good.
And the abolished job was not
in her line at all. But it came
and offered a fair salary and so

BUYING GAR ON TIME

Back in the days Of the old-fash-

rose and honeysuckle. rather than
gasoline, perfumed the countryside,
rhe man who bought on the so-much-
down and so-much-a-week plan was
d person to be Stunned by the nice
people OF our old home town. He
was what the colored folks called
poor white trash" and his place in
society was we'll marked off for him
by the ~better classes" who paid cash
or whose known responsibility and
financial standing was such as to
entitle them to monthly credit.
He who bought on the installment
plan was regarded as the original
Mutt. He was classed as ignorant.
And he was often viewed with pity
by his more fortunate brothers. He
used to have his new. green uphol-
ntered davenport delivered in an un-
iettered wagon to fool the neighbors.
