More Or Less True

More Or Less True
 Mother too, used 10 spoil a part! dress occasionally by dropping something on it, but what sh, dropped left a stain, not a hole
 Our idea of an unreasonable wife is one who expects her husband to be in a good humor after stand ing two hours on a corner waiting for her.
 We suppose when a companion ate brides parents gets nasty she threatens to go live with her hus- band. The world sure has chang ed.
 Some husbands won't get a chance to eat potatoes at home un- til they start putting up the tu- bers in cans.
 In the days of longer skirts. when a girl went into a shine par Tor, they used bicycle pants clips to keep her from making a display of her hosiery, but about all that can be done now is to blindfold the gent who does the polishing and ask the men present to look the other way.
 A modern girls idea of being in discreet is to make a date with a tightwad.
 The woman who complains be- cause her husband no longer is affeetionate, usually is of the kind who think in appreciation of all the long lectures she gives him he ought to bring her candy and flowers and take her to the theater every week.
 Yesterday was that time when what was meant by seeing a lot of a girl was seeing not much of her often.
 You usually can tell by meeting a mans wife whether he also has to eat his evening dinner in the breakfast nook.
 A woman's idea of an unreason- able man is one who tells her a spicy secret in strictest confi- dence and then gets sore because she considered it too good to keep.

Parshley, a clergyman of he Episcopal Church Characterizing himself as "a Protestant of Protestants," is his keynote speech, he assailed bigotry and paid a glowing tribute to the Catholic citizenry of the United States, and delivered inspiring eulogy of Gov smith. There enough tolerant and broad minded Protestants in the United States to save the churches for the of Christianity in spite of all the Christian Heralds, the Methodist Boards of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, and great number of preachers and numerous church publications and organizations can do to destroy them.

Decline of Marathon.
Dayton, Ohio, News.)

Marathon once was linked with heroism, poetry and patriotism. The term has degener- ated sadly since the day when that almost super human runner sped, clad in full armor, from the plains of Marathan to Athens with the news that the Greeks had yanquished the Persians
 But consider the marathon of today. It is associated with pelf and publicity. In the dance marathon particularly is the sorry degeneration exemplfed In tests of human endurance now nobility of sentiment is conspicuous by it's ab- sence. The laurel goes to "the happy winner in the huckeberry pie marathon held at the church picnic grounds One is told of "his face at the finish * .' But the pie marathon winner merits not death for his gluttony, and doctors find the dance marathon winners not so badly off at the finish

Thomas Edison K His Mark.
(New York World !

The first spadeful for the new Ford museum, which is to house number of Thomas Edison s early inventions, turned in freshly poured concrete, and the turning done by no less a person than Thomas Edison himself. After he had done that much. he stepped out on the con- crete and left pair of big footprints Then, taking stick, he scrawled his name between the footprints, and MT. Ford who was super vising the operations, turned to the newspaper men and murmured Boys. he sure knows how ''
 This was surely heroic way to leave a per sonal trademark for future generations to sec But If anybody in the United States is entitled to leave his name and footprints in solid con crete, that man, it seems to us is Thomas Edison. Indeed 1t seems to us that he had already left his name and footprints in exactly that medium long before this formal ceremony in Detroit mere are few American names that it will take dynamite to blast out of human recollec- tion, and one of them is Thomas Edison
