Good and
Bad Luck

Dear Miss Grey: Has It ever been
proved that persons born in the
month Of October are more unlucky
than those born at any other time7
ROBERT. n
II would not be possible 10 cs1
tahlish any such proof.
Luck Is mone or less \ habit OF
the mind.
The one who thinks himself UNI
lucky Is apt TO be unfortunate.
TO believe in luck. good or bad. is
merely TO shirl ones responsibility
for ones own conduct. Nevertheless,
many persons who would hate TO be
considered supcrstiti0us talk Of their
luck.
But Il must be noted that they
always regard their successes as the
just reward Of their own merit. while
their failures they attribute TO hard
luck"

More Comment on

Dear Miss Grey. When flapper,
ism threatened 60 become a menace
TO our nation, American men. born
and raised in this wonderful
country, began TO fight 1t in a
quiet, but effective manner. Flap,
perism is dying out.
The question, shall Women
Smoke" is not a question OF right
or wrong. II is rather question
OF which shall be the new typical
American girl?
VIII il be the girl with bohbed
hair. mems trousers, painted face,
green shoes, blue cane in one hand,
red cigarct holder In the other, pa.
rading the highway OF the city: or
will 1t be the strong. healthy. whole.
some girl, the girl we men dream
about when we start out in life?
Those OF us who still believe In
marriage and the home have a per.
feet right to love and admire the
womanly woman, the kind of girl
that can lead us to u cleaner and
better life.
The man'aping. cigaret.smoking,
bobbette we have nothing but pity.
and sometimes contempt for.
Women are not AZ strong physlc.
ally as men. Smoking will ruin
their health. This will in turn
cause an inferior future generation
and that Is what we are going TO
prevent, or die In the attempt, for
we are Americans. and never lost
n battle yet. SUBURBANITE.

Wise Old
|. OtCL

Dear Miss Grey-why is the owl
always referred TO as being wise,
and how did the saying originate?
G. r.
There Is no special reason for this,
save the especially knowing look OF
the bird and his blase air, seeming to
say that he has seen all of life and
is unmoved by anything that might
happen
Always II is the apt phrase that
lives, and this one Is so suggestive TO
every one that looks at the owl that
II has become proverbial.

BUSINESS ON THE FARM

The Illinois Grange recommends
that farmers advertise their products
as one method solving farm prob
lems.''
The telephone and classified adj
yertising pages of the newspapers
used with discretion and the same
faith and understanding which bust
ness men display in advertising their
products could be of inestimable
value to the farmer who had the
courage to use them.
Why should a farmer not utilize
modern selling methods in disposing
of his products direct to consumers?
The automobile makes delivery or
farm gate sales profitable and rapid.
Business methods will do more than
political methods to solve the farm
ers' problems and the Illinois Grange
Is to be commended for it's progress

RADIO, AUTOMOBILE AND WAR

Henry Ford says the automobile is
an agent of peace, more automo-
biles-less war.
When the automobile becomes as
common in Europe and Asia as in the
United States, the people will under
stand each other because there is an
easy interchange of ideas and ideals"
There is a great deal of truth in
Mr.. Ford's assertion. He should
have added, however, that radio,
which annihilates distance and ter
ritorial boundaries is the latest enc
my of war@as the greatest agent Of
world enlightenment.
When people in various parts of
the world can hear by radio, discus
sion of politics and domestic ques-
tions Of their neighbors, and when
they can ride in automobiles and get
acquainted with the "other fellow"
through actual association with him,
an insurmountable Barrier will Be
raised against war and it's ravages.
