Young Gentlemen of Leisure

Young Gentlemen OF Leisure
'What shall / do with my leisure
timer" We have yet to meet any
American of any size, age or relig-
ious convictions who will admit hav-
ing any leisure time"
On the contrary, almost everybody
is rushed to DEATH" and nobody has
time to do anything extra.
But here comes a high school
course in Interests" presumably for
girls only.
1T is SO easy for the average girl
to spend her free hours in idle chat
ter, running about the streets, and in
aimless shopping interests, which
give only temporary amusement and
no real growth" said the inventor
OF the course.
Girls are prone to regard schoo,
hours as the only ones in which they
should be learning anything.
For example, they should be en-
eouraged to have some objective
point in their jaunts around the city
A study of china and porcelain
which they could never get in school
| will lead them to the museums anc
antique studios"
There's more of 1t. It's a perfectly
good doctrine, but why this eVerlast'
ing picking on girls?
Why doesn't some bright mind
evolve a course In "i~nterests" for the
youth who goes about with trouser
bottoms Tapping in the wind, and
nothing In his head, or on it, except
a pancake derby?
His leisure appears abundant
enough when he is strolling about
the streets. He always has time to
lean up against the gas pipe railing
around the basement entrance to the
barber shop and comment upon
passing femininity.
He is never in a hurry In a hotel
lobby. where there are plenty Of easy
chairs, and a chance to look 'em
over"
His chief ambition TO become the
leading cigarette stub manufactures
In the country seems in a fair way
to be realized.
Maybe, when the jealous educa-
tors get through razzing the poor
little fiappers they'll turn their at
tention 10 a field where it is really
needed.

police Judge.
Collecting taxes was the biggest
job in Thayer. Texas taxation laws
are lenient. Tax evasions were nu-
merous, tits said, Lots of folks halk-
ed on paying.
Mayor Addison saw it differently.
And now Jewett holds the all-Ameri-
ca record. Every delinquent is back
in the t WINS good graees.
A man was appointed town mar
shall. During the two years, he did
MT have occasion to make a single
arrest. The hoosegow had but one
occupant,
That was a b~ootlegger who dared
show his face in town. And, oh,
what the women did to himl He
hasn't been seen in Jewett since he
got out of jail.
And now the husbands are back in
power. And the wives in their kitch-
ems.
But we showed them how" the
women declare. Now let them go
to it. We proved women could gov
ern and govern well.
"A woman's place real. is in the
home. We're through with the leg
erdemain OF politics. The men
shirked their civic responsibilities
and showed them off on us. They
didn't do a thing but vote.
Now let them do some Of the
work"

ferrous forces attacked her in in
creased numbers. She couldn't
sleep. Finally, unable to stand il
longer, she went-by intuition, she
says-to a certain art store here.
Paints The Christ
There is an old man who comes
here. He wears a beard" she told
the salesgirl, and proceeded to de-
scribe him. DO you know whom :
mean? I don't know his name"
Yes, the girl did know. Miss Roose
went to the man the girl named
and the trend of the conversation
was something like this:
"Mr.-I'm going to paint a pic
ture. This may sound foolish &c
you, but | believe I am being guided
by dead artists. Won't you help me
pick out paint and so forth. l know
nothing about it,"
The old artist smiled. Certainly
and I don't think it as foolish as
you believe" And he told of a friend
in the old country who believed he
had also been thus guided, and who
did good work.
Then Miss Roose started. Her
first portrait was that of The Christ
1t hangs on her wall. 1t really is
beautiful. There is a sympathetic
appeal to the blue eyes, a life-liks
CLINT to the flesh tint.
Then came the second painting
Four figures in this one. also d bibli-
cal subject. Nothing crude. And IL
oils, too.
Throughout It all. I am guided
says Miss Roose. They WELD the
brush, through me.
"I hardly understand 1t myself
| Never before this did I believe il
spiritualism. It just didn't exist II
my life. Now everything is so won
derful to me.
Raphael and Murillo inspired the
first two paintings. But Gainsbor
! ough. Halls and Rubens also have
come. They don't speak fluent Eng
lish. They're very abrupt. All the.
say is Paint! Paint!'
"Am Carried Away
1T feel my hands carried ava,
Raphael directs me in faces and col
oring. Halls specializes in back
grounds. Rubens in coloring an
Murillo in hands.
"You see, most of the things tina
happen on this world r 'hands
back from those who have gont

through those still left.
MY future? I don't know. l an
entirely in their hands. What the.
direct me I will do. I belive in
heart and soul"
Before Miss Roose discovered sn'
possessed this strange power, sh
was a skeptic. She worked in a de
partment store. But now those VIII
know her say there is rapidly com
ing to her the higher education sh
was unable to get herself.
1t is being literally forced upo,
her. She can no more control
than Tiny Tim could control an cart
quake.
She ~symbolizes that strange thin
toward which the times seem to b
moving-that force which Sir Olive
Lodge. Conan Doyle and other note
men say exists.

DETROIT Miss Maude Roose
here, is either a victim of her own
Imagination or else Raphael, Halls
and Murillo- dead masters have
come back to earth.
A few weeks ago, first word leaked
out that Miss lRoose had been paint
ing under inspiration of the masters
of a bygone day.
That sounded incredulous to
skeptie. But as the result of ar
hours conversation and observation
there is not the slightest doubt in
the mind of this writer that some
force. some phenomenon unknown
to US poor mortals Is at work on the
responsive vibration of Miss Roose's
young body.
1t is a bizarre story, one wei.
worth listening to.
One day last September she was
startled to hear forces" command
her to paint. Paint? What? The
side Of a barn?
That's how much she says she
knew of painting. But these mys-

Woman has dropped the scepter of
municipal reign and returned TO her

Feminine rule in Jewett and her

Husbands wouldn't tend to the

For two years. the fair sex con-
trolled the destinies OF Jewett and
Thayer. Its administrations were re-
plete with civic improvements, BEAU
tifying programs, movie censorship
and wars on bootleggers and tax
dodgers.
The male citizenry unanimously
agreed the 'petticoat b~rigades"
handled affairs far more efficiently
than their predecessors had ever
done. And the ladies admitted it.
But taking care of husbands,
washing children's faces, tidying up
the living Don and keeping towns

There is nothing that for the time
given to it will pay SO good a divi-
aend in the future al to keep a re-
lord of the baby day by day. 1 don't
mean one of those fancy records in
which the baby's parents, grand
parents and friends come in for a
large share of the space but a good,
sensible record chart with no frilis
and a few words.
One need not buy a special book
for this purpose. but Just a good
solid back notebook, n that will
stand much handling and won't lose
Its pages.
The first two headings speak for
themselves and as babies are always
weighed once a week these items
can be noted without trouble.
If the baby is nursed one can leave
this space vacant until such time as
new foods are introduced.
Amount of feelings refer of course
to bottle formulas and 1t is such a
comfort to be able to look back to
such a chart in order to refresh your
mind as to just what the baby was
taking at a certain age and weight.
It's surprising how these things slip
from the mind and they are inval-
