SUB ROSA
By MIMI.
Obey and Cherish.

A woman is perfectly frank when
she drops the word "obey" from the Inc
marriage ceremony. The man still
promises to Cherish" but he has his
fingers crossed when he says 1t. But
what difference does 1t make? The
bride Is so scared that she doesn't
know what she's saying, and as for
the bridegroom-well, he's q man.
The fiapper is outside looking In on
this marriage game. When she listens
in on the marital microphone, she gets
one earful. "obey!" Oh. boy! That
was all right when the man was the
head CT the works, but when he's bank
clerk. counter jumper, or coconut
salesman. and you crawl out OF bed at
am, just to choke off the alarm
clock, and wrap yourself around a cup
OF coffee and an egg, and hike along
with the other girl scouts-no, sir; no
obey in that
The average bride gets so much obey
stuff at the office from the boss that
she doesn't want any in the home from
the hubby. With the old-style mar
riage, which went out with the bicycle,
bride and bridegroom swapped vows at
the altar. She was perfectly willing to
obey because he was just as ready to
cherish. But when the man began to
ease up on the cherishing business, the
bride put the soft needle on the obey
record.
To cherish a woman means to sup
port her in the style to which she has
accustomed herself, and then some.
This may not be easy for man unless
he goes to Florida, but then he must
not expect his bride to take any dicta-
ton from him.
My idea of marriage is that we girls
enter the league with reservations.
Then We'll say to our men, "If you'll
cherish me with good line of feed
and silk underwear, I'll obey you to
the end of the chapter"
But the men want us to keep our
word while they are dropping theirs
1t isn't fair. They've got to brace up
and do some cherishing
I'd like to find f1rst-claSS cherisher
so that could throw up this little old
job. But then I'd have to speak my
piece with "obey" in it, and I'm not
quite ready for that.
;. Mimi will be. glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper provided stamped,
addressed envelope is inclosed.

Standard Oil Employs
Number of COlOred Men
In It's Service Stations

CHICAGO-The Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana has recently insti-
tuted the policy of employing Ne
groes in its gas filling stations. This
company operates in a section of the
middle west in which Negroes live
in large numbers. Detroit, Chicago,
ST Louis and Kansas City are so sit
uated, and in each one of these
cities, with the probable exception OF
Detroit, colOred men are employed.
In Chicago they are in exclusive
charge of two filling stations; in st.
Louis one; and in Minneapolis one;
and employed as attendants in
Springfield, Illinois, and Kansas City,
Missouri. They are also operating
four greasing stations in Chicago.
These jobs are the result of an
appeal to Colonel Robert w. Stew
art, President of the company by the
National Urban League through it's
Industrial Relations Department some
months ago. The League used the
companys successful operation of its
only station then manned by Ne
groes to prove that the use Of Ne
groes would not cause a decrease in
business; but on the contrary would
stimulate business from Negroes. In
the case of this station the general
physical appearance so improved un-
der Negro attendants and the bust
the best in ST. Louis. Prizes have
been awarded to it for external ap-
pearance and volume of business.
