MournfuI Minnies
By ELSIE ROBINSON

Hght--but it takes lot of hard
work. And Minn:es aren't fond of
hard work.
But there's another way. A
Minnie way. You can hog 1t by
being nuisance.
A SORE TOE GETS As MUCH
CONSIDERATION AT A GREAT
SOUL-USUALLY MORE.
So Minnie becomes a human
Sore Toe. And every time she's
stepped on, the world hears about
it. Which is just what Minnie
wants. She wants to Re heard and
consoled. So she gets stepped on
at the slightest pretext.
The psychologists have wise
names for the Minnies. They call
them neurotics and Inconsistencies
and you can read long articles on
how to recognize and Minister to
them. But / can give YOU a shorter
name and a snapper treatment.
THEY'RE DOGGONED PESTS.

course, you have. We all have.
And we'd all like 10 cure her. Then

ing with her and giving her spe-
cial consideration.
GIVING SYMPATHY TO MIN
ME is JUST LIKE FEEDING
HAMBURG TO A PUP. HE

FOR MORE.
Give Minnie the treatment which
you mete out to all your ordinary
friends, the same friendly atten.
ton, the same good-natured indif-
ference, the same chatting con.
tradiction. Give her this and
nothing more. If she weeps hand
her a blotter. Or show her this.
Will she gradually snaL out Of
it and be human?
She will.

MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

THE best exercise for keeping
Il that girlish waistline. is to
bend over and throw the candy
box out of the window.
Life, like a Christmas stocking,
holds only so many thrills; and the
girl who has emptied the stock
ing and sampled all the sweets be-
fore she is 20 is going to find the
next so years just one long anti
climax.
The savage growls over his
bones at dinner; the civilized man
merely gnashes his teeth over a
soft boiled egg at breakfast.
When a wife ceases to be a
stimulant and becomes an irritant,
a man promptly rushes out and
looks around for counter.irritant.
when a woman gets kissed by
me, she's KISSED remarked the
latest successful bigamist. But
that, dear heart, is every mans
secret illusion about himself.
Apparently, no girl of today
plans to remain married long
enough to get into a rut" or TO
let any man become positive
habit with her.
When a woman is feeling blue
or discouraged. she can always
go to the nearest beauty parlor
and have her spirits lifted and
her vanity re-charged.
One reason why a man never
tells woman anything, is be.
cause he knows that the simple
truth would be so much less
thrilling than the shocking things
she THINKS about him,
A man loves to give things"
to a woman; but when it comes
to settling her monthly bills and
charge accounts, he loses all his
enthusiasm; there is nothing
really picturesque or sensational
about THAT.
The only way in which love-
making seems to have changed is
that today a kiss lasts about
twice AS long and a love-affair
about half AS long.
The Washington times., 1928-01-25

NNINNIE'S feelings are hurt
Or rather, Minnie's feelings are
still hurt.
Getting .her-feelings-h is a
chronic condition with Minnie. They
have been getting hurt on an aver
age of three times daily since the
doctor gave her the first swat.
And they'll keep right on being
hurt until she snorts through the
Pearly Gates and begins TO crab
at st. Peter because he didn't send
motorcycle escort to meet her.
Has some frightful sorrow dark
ened Minnie's life? Is size poor,
prosecuted, sick? No, indeed. She
is a perfectly husky young Amer
lean woman of 20 She has al
ways had good health, affection
ate relatives, a nice home and
record appetite. Then why the
tragedy?
THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT
GETTIN CHI f R-F F, e L 7 n G s.
HURT IS MINNIE'S WAY OF
MAKING HERSELF IMPOR-
TANT, SHE WOULDN'T SWAP
HER SENSITIVENESS FOR A
SEAT IN CONGRESS.
We're just beginning to dis.
cover the truth about sensitive
ness. Hitherto Sensitive People
have been regarded as Human Or
chids, entitled to the most tender
consideration because of their deli.
cate organisms. We now know
that this loneliness has no such
lovely origin. 1T is ACTUALLY
A DETACHABLE VARIETY OF
CONCEIT, AND SHOULD BE
TREATED AS SUCF.
The Minnies OF the world, and
they are legion, care for just one
person-and that's Mirnie-and
they long to center the worlds at
tention on that beloved object.
Now, it is very difficult to mon
opolize the worlds attention. 1t
can, of course, be done by out
standing achievement. If you're

good enough you can hog the spot

Editor, The Washington Times:
A NAN and woman have just
"A paid the extreme penalty for
their crime by capital punishment,
and there is a youth awaiting
trial which, undoubtedly, will
bring the death penalty. Also. a
man has been sentenced to life
imprisonment for similar crime
to those stated above. This state
of public affairs enables us the
opportunity of discussing one of
the most vital, if not the most
vital, problem of human beings.
Therefore, we name three reasons
why a sentence of life imprison-
ment is more justified than CAPT.
tai punishment.
/. If man, convicted of murder
on circumstantial evidence, is
found to have been innocent, after
the sentence has gone into effect.
2. By life imprisonment, we OBJ
tain prompt disposal of the case,
thereby removing from the public
view, something offensive and
dangerous to the public welfare
to be topic of discussion.
8. The blood of the criminal will
not be on the hands of one Of
our fellow citizens, who is merely
the agent of the people them.

TO Extend
Run of Big
Film Here
King of Kings to Stay al
EngIiSh'S Four More
Days.

AS might have been anticipated, III
view of the tremendous response in
Indianapolis at Englishs this week,
the engagement of Cecil B. De
Miles 1.-THE King of Kings" has
been extended four more days, be-
ginning Sunday at BIS sharp, with
showings twice daily, matineeS at
2:15 and nights at 8:15, for the
balance of the engagement, which
terminates Wednesday, Jan. 10.
Perhaps never in the showing of
historical plays are theatergoers SO
completely taken out of themselves
and uplifted by transcendent emo
ton as in viewing THE King of
Kings"
The beloved characters written
about in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John are easily recognizable by each
spectator, even without the accom-
panying titles on the screen.
Unquestionably the grandest
Characterization is H. B. Warner in
the role Of Jesus of Nazareth, first
portrayed as the artisan healer in
Galilee, next as the divine man
who cleansed the temple, finally
identified by His disciples and by
the centurian who say Him dying
on the cross: "TruIy, this was the
Son of God!"
Mr.. Warner acts the greatest OF
historical roles with a fine reverence
and sympathy and yet with a true
humanity not devoid Of glints OF
humor.
Among the women Miss Jacque-
line Logan's splendid characterize
ton of Mary Magdalene stands out
as one Of the greater pieces acting
in the films Of this era.
Dorothy Cumming as the Holy
Mother, Mabel Coleman as the wife
Of PLATE, and Julia Faye and
JoSphine Norman as Martha and
Mary of Bethany, contribute worthy
portrayals.
