NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
What Every Wife Knows

What Every Wife Knows
A MAN is as old as he feels-but
"A a woman is as old as her hus-
band MAKES her feel.
He can make her feel like a kit
tenor like IAN old horse that
ought to be shot"
Just the look in his eyes can
make her feel "cute" and irresist-
ible, or foolish and passe.
He can make her feel smart,
clever and altogether desirable
or shopworn and out Of date.
She sees herself in his eyes as In
"a full-length mirror; and he can
cover her with a flattering rose
glow of admiration or turn upon
her a searchlight and cover her
with confusion and an inferiority
complex.
It's all in the light in his eyes
which is either one Of warm ad-
miration and approval, or a cold
north light OF approval and dis
interest, which makes her shriVeI
and feel her full age.
A woman can feel the protective,
possessive and approving gaze Of
her husband from the other end
Of the room, even when he Is
apparently absorbed in something
or somebody else; or she can be
acutely conscious of his cold dis
approval, even though SHE may
be absorbed in something else,
The attention and devotion of
other men may make her feel
young and alluring for an evening.
But her husband can take it all
OUT of her." with a word or q
glance, when they get home.
Or, If other men have been mat
tentive and neglectful. her hus-
band can make it all up to her"
and re-establish her faith in her
perennial charms, with just a few
words and tender kiss.
Men are different. A woman
may be able to make her husband
feel de trop, awkward, ashamed,
stupid, confused or even altogether
wrong-but she can never make
him feel OLD. Only his arteries
can do thati

ing to lie about; yet with a simple
twist Of the corner of his smile. a
mere dash of criticism or sarcasm.
or a cold, Indifferent glance, he
can make her feel like Methuselah.
Alas. it's so hard to penetrate
mans self-complacency. 1t sus-
tains him through his middle-age,
his Indian summer and even his
tottering twilight.
But a woman's vanity is a
fragile flower, which is kept alive
only by the tenderest care and
ministrations of the adoring male.
In other words, man can make
his wife feel like a charming
spoiled Child or like a spoiled"
piece Of fruit, ready for the dis
card.

Alice Duer Miller's question. Are
Women People?"
The old superstition that 1t was
sinful to sell a woman anything that
was more hazardous than United
States Government bond is fast dis
appearing. The woman who intelli-
gently reads financial pages of well
edited newspapers and who earns
her living in the world of business is
usually capable of holding a diversi-
fed list of investment securities. How
ever. even she should lay the founda-
ton of her investment structure with
securities Of the highest grade. Bonds
with a slightly smaller degree of safe
ty and good preferred stocks and some
common stocks may be acquired later
in the order named.
Women without dependents fire.
quently can best provide for their
own financial future through the pur
chase of income bonds or annuities
from life insurance. companies. Build
ing and loan shares. too, have the
merit of making the thrift habit re,;u-
lar and automatic.
The woman who must depend on
her own effort for a living should also
provide against the hazards of illness
and accident with non-cancellable
health and accident policies.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING

Business Womens' Investments.

According to the old-faShioned Wall
Street credo, Woman'S financial place
is in the safest Of investments. A now
defunct brokerage house used to base
its claim to virtue on the fact that it
would not accept accounts for women.
Thus, despite the demonstration by
capable woman bank officials and bond
sellers of the fitness of trained women
to handle financial matters the ira
dltlona investment adviser continues
to associate women with imheciles
and minors.

Community Organization Announces
First Gathering of Season

The Community Club will hold
its first meeting of the fall at
$3.50 next Friday afternoon, Sep
tember 30. This and all subse-
quent meetings will take place
in the assembly room on the
second floor of the Methodist
church Sunday school building.
Because Of the presence in
the village of many newcomers,
the clubs first gathering of the
fall season is always an excep-
tlonally important one, for it af-
fords the old and the new resi-
dents an opportunity to become
acquainted with one another and
to join in making preparations
for the years activities. Every
member of the club is asked to
bring to next weeks meeting one
or more of the women who have
come to Chapel Hill as strangers,
to the end that they may cease
to be strangers as soon as pos
sible.
The club is open to all the
women residents of the village.
The annual fee is 81, and no ad-
ditional fees are charged for de-
partmental memberships. The
treasurer will be on hand on the
30th to attend to the financial
phase of enrolment.
Plans for the various depart
mental activities will be dis

The Wallfia Is Here
Rare Flower Discovered on Coast by
COker and Brought to University

Flower lovers in Chapel Hill
will be interested in the an
nouncement which has just
come from w. C. Coker's office
that the smallest Towering
plant in the world has arrived in
Chapel Hill to take up it's resi-
dence.
The plant, Wallfia by name,
with neither roots, stems,
branches or leaves well differ
entiated, was found in a fresh
water lake at Nag's Head and
Roanoke Island.
This is the first time that this
particular species has been re-
ported in North Carolina, and it
is altogether probable that new
species has been found.
Another important item of
the collection is the American
lotus of the yellow-howered
species and of the same genus
as the Oriental pink lotus re-
ferred to SO frequently in the
Bible. While this is peculiar to
eastern America, it has never
before been planted in Chapel
Hill. An effort will be made to
sprout several plants in the
greenhouse down behind Pea
body hall.
The Venus Flytrap plant,
which Mr.. Coker found in South
Carolina and which created in
terest all over the country, is do
ing well in the Arboretum. Both
plant and flowers are larger
than usual and are the finest Mr..
Coker has seen anywhere.
w. L. Hunt of Greensboro has
brought several thousand bulbs
of great variety to the Hill
where they will be grown for
study purposes. In the assort-
ment are many tulips and irises.

ExcavatOr Returns
After Digging in and around Greece
Mr.. Harland Comes Back Here

Back from the Aegean basin,
where he spent many months
digging into the vitals of ancient
and long-buried cities. q. Pen
rose Harland is preparing to
give courses in which he will
tell University students of his
excavations. Mr.. Harland left
the faculty here in 1923 and now
he returns as associate profess
sOr of archaeology.
He went to Europe after hav-
ing been appointed to a fellow
ship under the Guggenheim
Memorial Foundation, his spec
ial mission being to investigate
the civilizations of the bronze
age-the prehistoric period
sometimes kown as the Homeric
age-in and around Greece. His
wife accompanied him on the
tour.
First they visited England,
where Mr.. Harland had interest
ing interviews with some of the
celebrated British excaVators.
Their southwark travels took
them to museums in Paris Flor
ence, Rome, and Naples, on to
Sicily, and thence to Greece. In
Athens Mrs. Harland entered
the American school of Archae-
ology, where her husband had
previously studied, while he
went forth to make underground
explorations in Nemea, between
Corinth and Mycenae. Here, in
the course of his digging into
a prehistoric settlement, he came
upon some pottery of a date not
later than 1000 B, C. Before
the couple came back. to Amer
lea they went to Egypt, where
they saw, among other notables
of that country, King Tut-ankh-
amen.
The Harlands have rooms in
the Braune home out on Glen
burnie road.

New Alarm System Gives Burglars Slim Chance

This newspaper feels in duty
bound to warn all the burglars
among it's subscribers that they
had better steer clear of the in
terror Of the Bank of Chapel Hill
in the nighttime, because the
vault has been equipped with
Ears, Nerves, and a Loud Voice.
The Ears are super-sensitive
sound-wave instruments which
will absolutely spoil the most
careful burglars evening.
The mechanism is called the
McClintock Grade A Sound Wave
Burglar Alarm System. The
sound-wave protection is con-
trolled by finely-tuned instru-
ments which cause an instant
alarm at the slightest noise made
upon the vault structure or
within the vault. Not only that,
but the vault door is equipped
with thermostatic contacts
which start the alarm when any
one of them is reached by a.
round $50 degrees of heat. The
tap of the tool or the play of the
flame of a cutting torch upon
wall or door will start a noise
that will arouse the whole
neighborhoOd.
A monster gong, together
with control instruments, ring
ing mechanism, and ringing bat
terry, is installed on the outside
of the building in heavy steel
housing as completely protected
by electricity as the vault itself,
so that it is not possible to get

at the gong TO prevent it's ring
ing. An electric multipie-wire
cable constitutes the connection
between the vault and the out
side gong. If you attempt to
cut this cable, you inevitably
trip the alarm, thereby bring
ing the police on the run to at
tack you with clubs and revolv-
ers.
Once the timer has made the
electrical protection complete
for the night, from then on till
morning no one, not even the ex-
pert who installs the system,
can get into the vault without
setting off the alarm.
Experience shows" says the
man who puts the apparatus in,
"that in the case of an attempt
ed burglary the sounding of the
alarm drives the burglars away
so quickly that they don't even
stop to pick up their tools, hats,
or overcoats."
Among the places where the
McClintock burglar alarm has
been installed is Henry Ford's
great River Rouge plant. This
is probably why nobody has
been able to sneak in and steal
information about the charac-
teristics of the new car.
One of the manufacturers ex-
perts is to be at the Bank of
Chapel Hill next Tuesday to
demonstrate how the system OPP
