For that reason, we occasionally see

Then, too, Their are extremes. Meth

times a girl is too prudish. Sometimes
she sets a standard of morals for her
self which would have been popular
ago. The girl of today is
decidedly different from the girl of
Yesterday, and the old standard won't
work.
Things that were considered posi-
lively immoral a hundred years ago
IRE accepted without question today.
It isn't that the morals of women have
lccn lowered 1t is simply that they
rave greater degree of freedom and

THERE IS A 1924 STA NDARD FOR GIRLS

haps YOU are too much like a girl
know
| She goes thru life ready to be am
barrassed at the least provocation, and
she is always afraid that her conduct
will be misunderstood. She tries to
avoid strouble SO ostentatiously that
she is constantly feeling herself in en-
barrassing positions. She wouldn't
think of doing this-nor thinks of do
ing that-it might not look well.
AS result she is always creating
the wrong impression. She frightens
her friends away They laugh at her.
and she is very much hurt at their lack
of regard for her feelings. She is fac
ing a life OF spinsterhood, unless some
young man comes along and is suffi-
GENTLY interested to try and force her
to lose her prudishness and broaden
her outlook on life. This is one ex-
treme.
The other extreme. no more popular
with men than the first. is the girl
who will go to almost any limit to be
thought a good sport. She is silly
creature, and her only ambition is to
chase butterflies. She interests only
one type of man, as a rule, the slick
haired shek, who carries his brains
in his heels and is good for noting but
dancing.
Then there is another type of mod
ern girl-the girl worth while, and the
girl who is really popular with every
one She is girl with purpose in
life. She is neither prude nor butter
fly. She is the. girl who does things
worth while And this type of girl is
certainly in the majority, as shown by
the increased number of clubs for
young women and the fields of service
in which they operate. She goes in for
the raw, unadorned realities, an faces
them honestly. She enjoys good time
can be as frivolous as any one, but
she knows that life is not always
song and dance and acts accordingly.
She is admired and respected b. all,
and is the kind of girl that all men
desire as wife when they are. ready
to marry.

POSED AS HUSBAND

his twin brother, and as father to her
two children after Francis Morgan
had been killed in France, it was learn
ed Tuesday following his arrest on a
charge of bigamy, preferred by Mrs.
Robert J. Crofton, OF Philadelphia
Mrs. Crofton, who told police Nor
gan used that name when he married
her, became suspicious because her
husband spent only five days a week
with her, she said
Morgan denied he had committed
bigamy, declaring he had assumed the
duties and responsibilities of husband
to his sister-in-law in order that she
might be spared the shock of know
ing Francis Morgan was dead. He was

ISSUE WARNING TO PREPARE
FOR BOIL WEEVIL FIGHT

That more boil weevils have gone III,
to Information this fall than at any
time since the advent of this pest into
the state, was the statement OF ]. Phil
! Campbell Director of extension work
| of the State College Of Agriculture aft
or an investigation in all parts OF the
state last week. 'If those who are OF
the opinion that the boil weevil is a
thing of the past had only gone into
their fields before the recent killing
frost, they would have found more
weeviIs than they had ever seen be-
fore he said.
THE cold OF the past few days"
continued Director Campbell, has
driven the wecvils into winter quar-
tiers, and nothing can be done now to
prevent the greatest emergence in the
spring farmers have ever witnessed
1t is too late for turning under stalks
to do any good so far as the wcevil
is concerned, and the only thing to
be done now is stock up with a good
supply OF calcium arsenate during the
winter, and be prepared to carry on
the fight next spring.
Investigation shows that Georgia
farmers purchased about fifteen million
pounds Of calcium arsenate last year
and used about ten million pounds.
Next year it is verp probable that all
the poison that can be secured will be
needed. and at least thirty million
pounds should be on hand when the
crop is planted.
Farmers are facing one of the
greatest crises in history, and unless
due heed of the situation is taken and
made, greater disaster
than has been known in many years
is certain to be the result"

On Night Train
To an Diego

In order to give better service Il
valley shippers of perishable pro
ducts TO San Diego, the San Diego
and Arizona Railway has announc
ed a change in the schedule for thl
night train to San Diego, effective
FEBRUARY l.
This train now leaves El Centy0 al
1905 p. m. and arrives in San Di-
ego at 7:15 the following morning.
This hour has seriously interferred
with the desire of those shipling
perishable products to get them Into
San Diego markets al a seasonatle
hour.
The schedule calls for the train TO
leave FL Centre at 8:l5 p. M, ar
riving in San Diego al 5.2J a. m.
For the convenience of passengers
travelling to San Diego, the Pull
man car will remain al the Union
Station in San Diego for occupancy
until O'Clock.
Under the new arrangement, it
is believed shippers will obtain bet
ter service and that the train will
be able TO operate much closer TO
schedule than is the case at the
present time.
