Women as Liars More
Proficient Than Men?

Women make better liars than men,
declares Ruth Ridenour in an article
in Liberty. "Men cannot lie," she as
serts. "They should not attempt it.
''It takes woman to lie with mag
nation and humor and deftness," she
continued. Men are too accurate,
meticulous, and too profoundly seri-
GUS in their attempt to convince. The
good lie is the casual one, somewhat
fiippantly hung upon the conversation,
as though, after all, it is unimportant,
believe it or not.
Women rarely lie directly" the
writer explains. "They usually prac-
tice the more subtle art of prevarica-
ton. If they play bridge instead of
mending socks, they are very careful
to see that the traces are cleared
away before their husbands arrive
from the office. They do not often
blunder into situations from which
they must lie to escape"

Double Egg

A market clerk in South Portland,
Maine, discovered an egg of unusual
weight-it balanced the scales at 51s
ounces-and broke 1t open out of
curiosity. Inside the outer shell was
found another egg, trifle smaller
than an ordinary hens egg. The
clerks curiosity seems to have been
satisfied at this point, for the smaller
egg was not broken.

Air Is Thirsty, Too

In the summer climate of Death
valley, California-one of the hottest
and driest on earth-the traveller
finds 1t impossible to drink enough
water to Stake his thirst, says Nature
Magazine. A thirsty air takes ire
mendous toll of the water stored In
irrigation reservoirs, which must be
designed to make allowance for this
loss. On the other hand, 1t Is the
thirst of the air that enables the
fruit growers to dry their products
out of doors in the long, rainless sum-
mers.

If or When the President Whites
(Minneapolis Tribune)

| There doubtless is more than jocuar phras-
| ing in Calvin COOlidges saying to an inquirer
that when he quits being president he Will go
bark to the old home state, Vermont, and whit
| tie for year or two. 1t was homely way OF
making it known that he intended to rest TOR
| year or two.
| When the president leaves the white house
he will have served in the office five and half
years Any man who has done that as con-
scientiously and closely as Mr.. Coolidge has is
entitled to generous breathing space of free
dom from care if he wishes to have it, and that
appears to be his wish.
The president at SIS is still a comparatively
young man as mature statesmen go. So far as
the general public is aware, his physical con-
dition is good. He looks and acts AS if he
might endure the onerous burdens of another
full term in office without SCATTERING his
health but that is matter for him and his
physicians to pass. on, with friendly advice,
perhaps, from Mrs. Coolidge, who certainly has
some right to Voice in determining the fu-
ture of the Coolidge family circle.
Some men past middle life do too much
whiting, others not enough. We should say
that the latter group constitutes the majority,
if by whiting We mean getting away from
a corrOding grind of business or professional
duty. A judicious portion Of whiting inter-
jected from time to time in the regular course
OF dIIdlTS pays ulVlucnOS OH a DuSy Hldn phys
cal, mental and spiritual resources. In this
case we may set up as synonyms for whiting
the playing Of golf, hunting, fishing, motor
trip, tramps through the woods, or just a plain
tangent off into space of rest and quietude
aloof from the customary run of things.
Some men are born, reared, live and die whit
tiers; others achieve whiting rewards, and
still others have whiting thrust upon them.
Calvin Coolidge belongs to the second group,
William Hohenzollern the third. William whit
ties in Doom against his desire, as Napoleon
whitfield first on Elba, and then on ST. Helena.
These two egoists were sentenced to whiting
as penalty. If Mr.. Coolidge whites for a
year or two, the whiting will be sef-given
bonus for constructive service rendered.
The words "year or two" we take to be n.y.
perbole. It is probable that after few months
of self-imposed whiting the bonus would be-
gin to irk like court sentence.

Questions and Answers
Question: Martha Jane 8. asks:
what causes the white cellular
formations which periodically form
in the throat opposite the palate?
They cause q slight soreness until
they loosen and come out. What
can be done to prevent their forma-
tion?"
Answer: The cheesy masses
which form in the crypts Of the
tonsils can be pretentd from form
ing il you will be more careful with
your diet. A good local treatment
may be taken with the ultraviolet
light. This application Of actinic
rays will kill any bacterial growth
In the tonsils, and also tends to
shrink the membranes to normal
size. II your physician does not
have this equipment he can treat
your throat with some medicinal
preparation such as silver nitrate.
Question: G. T. asks: "Does
chilli contain any nourishment :"
Answer: Chill is very high in
nourishment, being made mostly Of
meat. It is highly Favored with pep
pers and therefore is irritating to
the stomach and cannot be consider
ed 8 wholesome food except for
those who have been accustomed for
years to its use.
Question: Mrs. E. S. writes:
-"Will you please tell me what to
do for my arms? They get, numb
up to the elbow every night"
Answer: You are probably suffer-
ing from some kind Of circulatory
disorder, possibly due to some heart
arrangement which is usually
caused by the pressure Of excessive
gas in an overloaded stomach
crowding the heart. Try eating a
smaller meal at night, and be care
full about the food combinations.

British Press Amenities

James Russell Lowell, nettled by carping
criticism of our country, once wrote singer
on "A certain condescension in foreigners"
Nowhere does one find this condescension
more patent than in the British press. The
average Englishman is probably the most toll
Grant creature on earth. He respects other
peoples right to their own political and re-
lgious beliefs. He respects their privacy as
he jealousy guards his own. If he thinks
about America at all, it is with sigh Of envy
that we are SO prosperous and that our income
taxes are so low. He longs for the good old
days when England was also prosperous and
when her taxes also were low. But apparently
the men who write for the newspapers of Brit
ain do not know the feeling of their own peo-
pie. They write in tone that one never hears
among Englishmen in private life. This is the
line:
'Great Stars and Stripes! I went to five
plays last week, of which only one pretends to
be English, but it tries to disguise the fact by
dealing with bootlegging and the two leading
characters are Yankees from Yankville Yank."
ssHel, Columbia!"
One can imagine how the English editorial
writer's would froth at the mouth if we thus
vulgarized with cuss words one of their ma
tional songs, say, God Save the King"

Film Bootlegging Next?
(NeW York Times)

Judge Goddard's opinion in answer to three
questions addressed to him by the grand jury
not only legalizes the exhibition of fight films
but exculpates those exhibitors who, with
knowledge of but without connvance in the
transportation, receive such films from any,
one not an express company or common car
rier. In law and common sense, and in ac-
cordance with the terms of the federal statute,
there was no other decision for Judge Goddard
to reach. His opinion does more than clear up
the facts, however; it demonstrates that this
illogical and outmoded federal statute should
be repealed or it will breed new class of boot
leggers whom it would require an army of
United States marshals to police.
A fight is held in Chicago; motion pictures
are taken and developed; they are packed into
small boxes and slipped into suitcases. BY
films are then transported by individuals
across state lines. Once across and in the
hands Of exhibitors, their showing is legal any
where. 1t is true that Judge Goddard urged
the jury to continue it's investigation in an ef-
fort to find the conspirators who violated the
statute in connection with the Dempsey Tun-
ney fight. But the task before them is harder
than looking for needle in q haystack. The
film bootlekger may be known to an exhibitor
as John Jones, but is that necessarily his name
or must an exhibitor know where to locate
him? BY the expenditure Of great sums Of
money and the employment Of many agents the
department of justice could make this bootleg
ging dangerous, but that is the most it could do
And al to enforce one Of the most NONSENSE
cal OF our laws, passed by congress through d
voting combination of those who opposed
pugilism and others who objected to the wide
spread showing Of the Jeffries-Johnson pic
lures! There is probably no federal law which
district attorneys seek to enforce with more
reluctance and less conviction. Il is perfectly
legal to hold pugilistic contests in many states,
entirely legal to report their full details in the
newspapers and relate them over the radio,
