HOW TO DEVIL THE
TELEPHONE OPERATOR


Save the old telephone directories
and be sure to have them hanging
around the telephone. Then they
may be used quite as often as the
new one.
Don't ever use the directory il
yot! think you have so per cent
chance of GUESSING the right
number.
When you get the wrong number
blame it on the operator-she's used
to it.
But putting all jokes aside, won't
you ple-se destroy the old directories
We have made you use them long
enough so that they should be worn
out now, anyway.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Carrying a chip on the shoulder is
taken literally in lumber camp Ind
among boys as a means of str Ing Il
fight. One member of the gan who Is
peeved or just for the fun OF picking 4
fight, will place chip of wood on his
shoulder and defantly parade before the
one he wants to fight. The one who is
challenged in this way is supposed TO
knock the chip from the challenger
shoulder. A fight Immediately results.
In the tlgurative sense, carrying a
chip on the shoulder is essentially an
attitude of mind, the attitude of de-
fiance, of looking for trouble.
The attitude of defiance Is the result
of an actual or imaginary attack upon
some cherished possession. We take
this attitude to show our contempt for
the challenger, to diSprOve his conten-
| ton and to establish our superiority. -
The truly superior person, however,
| scarcely ever assumes this attitude. lie
knows his powers and limitations. He Is
not greatly disturbed by criticism and
insinuations to the contrary
On the other hand, the inferior per-
son Is not so sure of himself and falls
more readily a victim to ridicule. The
bravado attitude that we call carrying a
chip on the shoulder is means OF
bolstering up his courage and an at
tempt to convince himself as we'll as
others that he Is somebody.
In some people this is a means of at
tracing attention. With others It Is a
pastime and with still others it is a
means of bullying.
No matter what the ultimate motives
for carrying chip on the shoulder, the

The Man Teacher.
Hugh has been a good boy until now.

I don't understand this"
II know. but his teacher says he Is
lazy, unwilling to do any kind of work.
That he Is sullen and impudent. This
cannot go on. We will have to do some
thing about it."
The principal was firm in his stand
The boy was behaving badly and the
teacher had put him out of the room
Something must be done. But what?
Hugh was Is going on IA and big for
his age. Since entering kindergarten
he had been what is termed a good
boy. He never failed to get promo
ton at term end. He had nothing put
high marks in work and conduct. Now
he had list of DIS and worse.
Take him home and talk things over
with him. Try to get expert advice. 1t
is certain we can do nothing" said the
principal YEARLY.
So Hugh went home digging his toes
and grinding his heels into the walks
as he went. stop that. You needn't
behave so that the whole town knows
you're put out of school," said mother,
reduced now to the verge of tears.
Jaw. I don't care who knows 1t. I'm
glad of it. I hope 1 don't ever have
to see her again. The old crab"
who's an old crab?"
"She Is. The teacher. Never lets you
move a hand or foot. If you walk on
the floor she hollerS, Step on your
toes II you want to stretch your legs
she's yipping, Keep your big feet where
they belong If you laugh she pulls a
horses face and tell you to shut up.
Gee. I'd like to be somewhere that /
could stand up straight and stretch.
That's how feel. I'm glad she threw
me out If she hadn't I'd a gone out.
The old crab" And so and so on, the
phrases punctuated by covert dabs Of a
very dirty handkerchief.
Father listened to the story. He laid
down his paper and his pipe and looked
long and very kindly at his frowning
son. Hugh" said he. Lets go to
bed. We have to get up early in the
morning because you and are going
fishing"
For a short second Hugh sat bolt up
right. The gloom and the frown van
iShed like snow before the Summer sun.
He leaped upon his fathers back and
nearly choked him. ''Oh, you dad! o
gee! o gee!"
They tramped and fished for week.
Then they returned like happy wan
derers. I'VE had a dandy time and
dad says I'm going to go to Old Trout's
school so I can have man teacher.
What do you say about that?"
There are boys who need and ought
to have men teachers from the time
they enter the middle grades until they
are graduated from the university. 1t
is bad for such boys to go through ele-
mentary school. high school and church
school without meeting man instruc-
tor. Some boys must have men teach

AS one does not wish to burden one
self unduly with wearing apparel. 1t
Is worth some study to find out how
to attain the best balance. For some
reason. the brighter and more festive
air of light and colorful Summer gar
ments seems in better accord with
the idea of holiday than the more
cumbersome kind of clothing, and GER
tain it Is that some hot weather will
come However limited the space, 1t
is recommended that the girl or woman
mentioning take at least one light
Summer outfit, complete with hat and
shoes. If no other light ensemble is
taken the dress should be OF a kind
to adapt itself to many occasions.
One of raw silk or rajah Is an ex-
cellent choice. for the material may
be suggestive of sports or dress wear,

which demands something more elab-
crate such a dress worn in combina-

consistent. especially If smart flower

to her would be to take several COM

least one dress of the medium weight
afforded by wool crepe should be con-
sidered a necessity. and a dress or
two of jersey cloth will prove indis-
pensable.

should take nightgown of some

Permanent Waves.
Dear Miss Leeds-Is it any more
harmful to put water waving combs In
my hair every night than to have the
best permanent wave? How injurious
do you think a permanent is? 1 have
had two already and they made my hair
very dry and coarse, but by careful
treatment my hair is in fairly good con-
dition again. I would like to have an
other wave. KITTY.
Answer think it Is very unwise to
use water waving combs every night
During sleep the hair should be loose
and the scalp uncovered so that air may
get to 1t. OF course. the combs pull on
the hair to some extent and keep the
air out Permanent waving affects diff
ferent types of hair in different ways.
You have seen what it does to yours.
If 1 were you l would wait until the
waved hair has grown down to the ends
and the hair and scalp are in first-class
condition. Then I do not think the

Dear Miss LeedS-I wear high heels

can I reduce bust and hips?

Answer-You are not too stout. In
fact, you are five pounds below the
average weight for your age and height
Unless the hump is some abnormal
growth 1t Is probably due to incorrect
posture. Try holding your head up
straight and your chin level. Quite
frequently lump of fat forms at the
back of the neck. This may be reduced
by deep massage. neck exercises anc

the purpose is done by placing one
