WHAT KIND OF MAN DO YOU PREFER? EVERY
NIGHT TOO OFTEN. Girl. SPEAKS FIRST.

Dear Miss FIO:-
Please tell me what kind of men
girl prefer. Judging from my own
experience l would say they prefer a
fellow who has good line" a das.
sic profile, the latest cut clothes, and
lot of money. Loyalty, morality,
and honesty mean nothing whatsoever
to them. ID. ID.
There isn't any standardized type
of man who is a sure-fire hit with
girls, for girls tastes in men differ
as they do in everything else.
There are silly, frivolous girls, with
the mentality of a moron, who prefer
the boys whose brains are in their
heels, who know all the new dance
steps and who babble the same unin-
telligible chatter that they do. These
girls would of course be bored to
death by a man who tried to carry
OH an intelligent conversation with
them.
There are wild girls who prefer
the men who carry hip TASKS and
have automobiles and money to spend
on them. These girls have no regard
for honor and chivalry and sobriety
and industry and they would think a
man "a flop" who didn't offer them a
drink and take them to cabarets and
didn't otherwise give them what they
call a good time.
But there are a great many other
girls who are intelligent and refined
and who take serious views of life.

Dear Miss FO:

der of c. Ivy Toms, a druggist of
Rosehill, a suburb of Los Angeles.
Hickman was shackled to a guard

cial car. Among them was Weiby
Hunt, 17-year-old former pal of Hick2
man, convicted of participating in the
Toms holdup and killing.
Hickman and Hunt now are enc
mics. Hunt claims credit for identify
ing Hickman as the kidnaper and
slayer of Marian Parker and is trying
to share in the $4,000 reward offered
for his capture and conviction. Hick-
