the lifted eye brows and sighs
of apprehension from the 0. F.
G. are merely an expression of
sour grapes.
And furthermore-but, my dears,
I'm sorry that I flew off the handle
so easily Now that have cooled
down bit, I'll tell you just why I
believe what I say.
The picture of the Old Fashioned
Girl is pretty. She is clothed in
deep colorS and lots of lace, and her
hair curls softly around the back of
her neck. When love comes her way
she lifts her eyes slowly and a
pretty blush is diffused over her
face. "This is SO sudden" in a low
voice.
That is what they are supposed to
be, but how many of them are like
that? Sure you find them-in nov
els.
A great many of the girls today
take this picture and hold it before
them as an ideal. But they miss the
point.
Their code is that a girl is fast"
if she drinks, smokes, allows fellows
to put their arms around her,
dances on Sunday, keeps late hours
or has too many dates.
Morals and Law.
They are wrong in all of these
things. Drinking is not a matter of
morals, but matter of law. We
now have a thing called the Eight
eenth Amendment, and there is no
drinking according to law.
Smoking? Why be so petty? All
women on the continent smoke. And
many women in America. The D. A.
r. tried to condemn certain wom-
an who smoked, and the reaction
was harmful.
There is no woman in the world
who has not felt thrill of pleas
ure In the arms Of man. 1t all de-
pends on the place and how it is
done.
Sunday dances To some Satur-
day is more sacred than Sunday
Others class Sunday with any other
day. And all are just as sincere in
their beliefs as the o. F. G.
Nothing Wrong in Time.
And why bother about the clock?
There is no more immortality when
the hands Of the clock point to 2
than to IL.
Too many dates. You should be
glad that one of our sisters can be
SO popular.
Again I say that the, Old Fash
ioned Girl is the bunk. Her modern
sister is on her toes and alert. She
reads the best in literature and
knows what the world is doing.
She is not bound down by Gus
tom and convention. No great per-
son in the world ever was a slave
to another's laws.
But with all her freedom, she is
not giddy She pilots her course in
life with clear headedness and not
with a book of "don'tS."s
So, my Old-Fashioned Sisters,
jump out of the buggy and climb
into this roadster. Don't spend your
life Establishing" at others. Be a
"doer," and not a "don'ter."

The bridge. to be built by local
capital will be of creosoted piles and
timber construction, construction TO

first physical connection with the
outside world and give Elizabeth

NORFOLK ANTI
SMITHS fire ON
PRIESTS HOME

The First Congressional District
of North Carolina may be thank
full that the recent political bat
tie left little of the hateful rancor
that is afflicting Norfolk and the
tidewater cities of Virginia just
to the North of US.
Not satisfied with having defeated
a presidential candidate who belong
ed to the Roman Catholic Church,
Anti Saloon LeaguerS and ku
Kluckers in Norfolk have shown
much feeling toward Catholics in
that city since the election. Anti
Smiths fired upon the home of a
Catholic priest in Norfolk on a night
after the election and followed "
by plastering pictures of Hoover all
over the little Catholic church at
seth ST. and Colley Ave. The priest
and his parishioners were so frigh-
tened that they didn't dare report
the matter to the police and it was
DAYS before news of it leaked out in
the city.
North Carolinians who have not
taken the Smith pictures and plates
off their automobiles are the sub
iect of hotos and Jeers when they
motor thru Norfolk or any OF the
Ku Kulx strongholds of Tidewater
Virginia.

That's the hell of it," said the

district is negligible. The little
grating politicians get the money

next General Assembly will make
grave mistake if they don't de-
mand a full investigation of all
campaign expenditures. AS Tor
Cam Morrison, there isn't a more

exposed that he actually did drop
