girl is far superior to any other girl. We
do not go through much pain to make
ourselves more attractive, In some coun-
tries the girls use blocks of wood in their,
lips to make them longer; others wear brass
bands around their necks to make them
longer; some punch holes in their nose saAa
ears to put stones in; our RTandmothers
did the latter.

Atlanta Negro Finds
Short Cut to Marriage
Rather a Rocky Road

One way to get by the new mar
rage license law in Georgia was re.
vealed in Judge Andy Calhoun's
court Monday, or rather it was an
unsuccessful effort to get by the new
law.
Ella Woolfork, negress, of 1926
Fort street, testified that Robert
Payton, another negro, broke into
her home shortly after her late hus-
band had died, and stole her mar
rage certificate. He then proposed
to take the name Of the deceased
husband she said, and also substitute
for the deprted in her home and af-
tections, thus obviating the expense
of a marriage license or another
ceremony
Instead of agreeing to the plan,
Ella had Payton arrested on charge
or larceny from the house, and he
was given the choice between a SIS
line and eight months on the chain
gang. Payton realized after the trial
mat a new marriage license would
have been cheaper.

the pricks aVailS us nothing except
wounds in our shins. Half of the
misery in the world comes from our
refusal to make the best of our bar
gains, such as they are, and to get
the comfort and happiness we might
find in the station in life to which it
has pleased Heaven to call us.
All about us we see the wrecks of
people who were not satisfied to be
what nature intended them to be, or
to do the things they were made to
do. or to live in the environment in
which they were placed. The car
penter has no pride nor pleasure in
being a skilled craftsman, and gives
up his trade for some profession in
which he is failure. The man of
ordinary ability is not content to
plod along and accumulate, a modest
fortune. He aspires to be a million
aire and becomes the predestlned
victim of get-rich-quick sharks.
Plain people are not willing to live
in their comfortable old homes
among their old friends. They must
buy palace and move up among
the fashionables, where they are
lonely and snubbed. SO it goes, and
we make for ourselves the shirt of
Nessus that fortunes US.
The man who is married to a wife
who has grown fat and grizzle- head
ed and prosy makes himself miser-
able by dwelling forever on her lack
of charm, and his misfortune in be-
ing tied to a woman who no longer
thrills him.
1t never occurs to him to look on
the other side of the picture and
contemplate her virtues-the faith
fulness and loyalty that nothing can
shake: the devotion that would fol-
low him through good and evil re-
port; the thrift that has enabled him
to pile up a fortune; and the joy and
comfort of possessing "a super-eXcel-
lent cook who can not give notice
and quit.
The woman who is married to a
man who is absorbed in his bust
ness, who is lacking in sentiment
and who is better at writing checks
than at writing love letters, be-
means her fate, and considers her
self a neglected and ill-used wife
She might just as we'll be happy as
miserable. if she could only make
up her mind to accept her husband

vEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Courting
X the girl Of your dreams comes
high today. This increase is
being felt throughout the country
from Main street to Broadway.
Incidentally, it costs at least $3.50
for a Broadway evening, 1t used
to cost $3.50.
A neighborhood evening costs at
least $3.50. One dollar would have
been sufficient rs years ago.
1T costs a kings ransom to court
a girl in modern style" explained
May Allison, who was asked what
was necessary to entertain a girl
for an evening in these whizzing
goth century times.
"a young gentleman who asks a
young lady to spend the evening
with him can forget about his finan-
cial plight only if he has $50 tucked
away in his. wallet.
THE least expensive evening I
can imagine costs $1,000. Usually
it will cost more. There is So for
dinner at one of the proper eating
places; at least $3.50 for theater
tickets; with convert charges of 81
it is impossible to escape from a
supper club, after the theater, for
less than $40 and it usually is safe
to estimate IS for liquor in some
form or other; SO is the least your
taxi fare would be.
and that would not be called a
riotous evening by many girls of
today. One hundred dollars would
cover many a party"
Miss Allison neither drinks nor
smokes, it may said in justice to
her.
That is a Broadway evening. Girls
expect several such whirls each
week. Many of them every night.
To court such a girl on the con,
vential three evenings a week it
would cost $40.

Treating Case of Congested UGder
NJ. A, Jefferson, Ca, writes:
My COW which came fresh two
weeks ago gives milk out of only
one teat She is hearty and in fair
condition. She gives a good flow
of milk but froses only one teat.
viii appreciate any advice you
can give me.
We presume that your cow is suf-
fering from case of inflammation
Of tAe udder. This is not an un-
conmoa occurrence, especially at
the time ar shortly after parturition.
In the case of COWS that are heavy
mixers it is often desirable to. draw
part of the milk out of the udder a
few days before calving and keep
this practice up afterwards. Milk
ing three times day or Oftener is
desirable in many cases.
We cannot tell from the contents
of your letter whether the three
fourths of the udder has lost it's
function or not. This often happens
in a case where the inflammation is
of a severe character and not cor
rected at once.
We would advise you to proceed
as follows: Give the COW a laxative
medicine and feed on foods of a
laxative nature. 1t will be an adj
vantage for her 10 be turned out to
craze. Any green feed you can sup
ply her will be helpful. Also use
bran mashes. These are prepared by
pouring boiling water over wheat

the COW. We would battle the udder
daily twenty minutes at time with
water just as hot as the hands can
stand. The udder should then be
kneaded and rubbed very carefully
