woman Is FickIe''

La donna mobile" You've heard
it trilled in lyric Italian-"Woman is
tickle"
Maybe so. But she doesn't begin it
until she has made the discovery that
most men are two-legsed tomcats,
anyhow.
Man excuses his sociological re-
| search on the ground that he is en-
titled to it. He prides himself on his
ability TO reason. If he deserts his
| wife, who bears patiently with his
| moods, his jokes and his taste in
neckties, for a dashing evening with
a charmer who "lives her own life, y
he has a plausible reason handy.
The logical sex is never at a loss
for a reason. They carry reasons
around with them as abundantly as
they carried cloves in pre-Volstead
days.
tempted me-"
Man, having endowed himself with
the power of initiative, tossing the
referendum to woman to keep her
from crying, has little difficulty IN
picturing himself gay Lothario.
"A gay dog" is a high compliment,
and the bobbed-hair cuties who
know how to burn incense at the
| image OF his vanity, reap the earth
and the fullness thereof.
But "hckle" woman has learned
| one lesson from the example set by
the lords and masters of creation.
Which is to the effect that there is
no cure for a broken heart like a
lbrand-new love affair.

Simple and Ele ans

True elegance Is always achieved
by simplicity, Miss Hoyt believes.
"a we'll dressed woman always
can walk down the street without
attracting attention TO herself" she
says, "but she is always noticeable
among well dressed wemen for the
perfection of her lines and fabrics.
This year there is a return TO
color and we are going to be
tempted by much that is bizarre in
color and design. but the knowing
woman will resist the temptation to
look like an Egyptian princess or
the sheik's wife"

tation and relation of transportation
agencies to each other, and to agri-

DRY LABOR MEMBERS
CAUSING BIG LOSS

Three-fourths of the la members
Of the Labor party in the British
House of copmons are total alb
stainers," says DR.. Alfred Salter. La-
Dor M. p, in a recent address before
the Industrial Christian Fellowship in
London. AS a result the restaurant
in the House Of Commons is losing
money, caused by a great falling off
in the consumption Of alcoholic drinks
in the House.
In proportion to their numbers, The
members of the Labor party drink far
less than those of any political party
in Parliament, according
to DR.. Salter. Many members who
had literally patronized the bar in the
past were defeated in the last cleo
ton, and the "dryness' of incoming
Labor representatives is playing
havoc with the bar receipts.
The kitchen committee is now con.
sidering whether in order to make up
its decreased profits at the bar II
VIII not be necessary to increase its
charges for meals.

WHICH GROUP CLAIMS
you INDIVIDUALLY

Organized wage earners may be
properly classified into three groups
the doors, the onlookers and the
cutters. The doors are those stout.
hearted. loyal members who are ever
lastingly on the job to better condi-
tions. raise wages and to shorten the
hours of labor, giving unstintedly OF
their time and energy to build up and
strengthen their union for the better
ment of all concerned.
The onlookers are those lukewarm
fellows who feel that when they have
paid their union dues they have then
disc harged their full and final obli-
cation to themselves and to their fell
low workers.
The cutters are those onlookers
who do not attend the meetings Of
their union, force the officials Of the
respective locals because of their alb
sence to look after their welfare. They
believe the union is doing nothing for
them, when as a matter Of fact they
are unwilling to help themselves.

Moodstown Wins on Errors

The morning ball game IN the
Fourth at Dye Works Field was most
interesting and well played until the
sixth inning. Then the hopes of the
local team went into the great beyond.
That inning looked worse than a game
of marbles from the way the Dye
Workers handled the ball. Evidently
some of the boys got the "day off"
twisted and decided it was an "Otf
day." for they certainly made it ap-
pear as such.
Eight Woodstowners batted, five
crossed the plate and not one hit was
made and the worst Price did was to
hand out only one pass. Support;
there wasn't any such thing, and Am
mons takes the brown derby for hay
ing the greatest count in the error
column, altho he had to work hard
to keep from sharing honors with
Snyder.
Fry, the first man up in the sixth,
got on by a skyscraper throw from
short. Then Snyder let one slip be
tween his legs. Borton was thrown
out for a change, and Klauslen given
a free pass. With the bases jammed
Ammons permitted the next two to
roll gently on while three completed
their tour. And so on went the in
ming until by some mishap the home
boys assembled themselves TO make
three outs.
In the seventh Charsha took the box
but was nipped for a double, two sin
giles and a sarifce fly which added two
more to the visitors pile.
The first inning looked like a big
one for the Dye Workers, then again
it didn't. Of the first three men up
two singles and a pass choked the
bases. Then KIauslen almost pulled
himself out of a bad hole and soon had
two out and two strikes on Charsha.
But Johnny "came clean with a
pretty drive to center field scoring
two.
In the eighth and last the local
boys tried hard to make up for what
was lost but it was a losing battle.
Two singles and a double put two
across in the eighth and Charsha
reached third in the last but they
lacked the opportune hitting and the
punch to carry through.

Anti Saloon League At Work

Representatives of the Anti-Saloon
League spoke in the Methodist and
Baptist Churches last Sunday.
Their method is to present the case
of the greatest moral reform of the
ages and ask persons to contribute 25
cents or more a month to the support
of the cause which has been carried
on effectively the past fifty years.
For twenty-five years great educa-
tlonal work was done by the w. C. T.
u. and others. The next twenty-five
years successive States voted dry until
80 were dry before the 18th amend
ment was voted into the L. S. Con-
stitution.
They feel assured that the amend
ment will not be repealed with 70 U.
5. Senators having a dry constituency.
The next Congress will have two more
dry representatives.
To give legal effect to the 18th
amendment the Volstead law was en-
acted by Congress, prohibiting the
manufacture, transportation and sale
of alcoholic liquors containing more
than One-half of one per cent of alco-
hol by volume for beverage purposes.
The last great stand of the liquor
trafflc Is to have the law changed to
permit the manufacture and sale of
liquors containing more than one half
of per cent of alcohol. Some a
two and a half; others 5 per cent
and ten percent for wine. With less
than 10 per cent wine becomes vine
gar.
Some claim a higher percentage of
alcohol is not Intoxicating. 1t is not
to many, but one-half of one per cent
was the standard set by Congress at
the solicitation of the liquor dealers
when it was taxed for revenue pur-
poses.
The problem now is to make prohi-
bition effective to not elect, nor ap-
point men to office who do not believe
in the present prohibition law.
To do so is the same as if the Court
had a jury of burglars to try a case
against a thief.
That is the present standard of the
liquor question as presented by the
Anti-SaloOn League advocates.

Adventures of a CRATER

Somebody ought to write a book
with the above title and fill it with the
experiences of the men who roam this
broad land under the cloak of adj
vertising novelty men and drop down
on the small town merchants and get
their hardearned coin. . It would
make Baron Munchausen look like a
novel by a man with a dearth of in
vention.
"For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain," the advertising solicit
tor is peculiar, to lug in Bret Harte.
We have cut across their trails innu-
merable times and wondered how they
got away with it. They rarely touch
the publisher (%unless they lure hin
into a temporary partnership but in
the end the man who runs the local
paper is the main casualty. Most of
the money the traveller packs out of
town would have gone in to the edi-
tors pockets.
