MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
Helen Rowland
Our Potential Husbands

Sometimes, marriage turns a
man into a diplomat-and some
times it turns him into door,
mat.
The man with a single-track
mind and the woman with a
single.track heart make the best
matrimonial bets.
"If a man tries to be romantic
writes a discouraged swain, 1.-The
modern girl regards him as
NUT Yea, peradventure, my
Son-but if this be true, then
nine girls out of ten are squir-
rels at heart!
When a man feels low and all
run down, he consults a physi-
clan or nerve specialist; but
nothing can pull a woman out Of
the depths and pep up her spirits
like a few hours under the sooth-
ing hands Of q beauty specialist.
"The old-fashioned saloon win
never come back" No, and II it
did It would be so dolled up with
finger-bowls, dcilies and feminine
touches that no man would recog-
nize it. There viii never, again,
be any such thing as a he-man's
retreat from WOMEN, in this
denatured old world
Any man with so little conceit
as to think that the women love
him only for his money or his
Inotor-car has all the ma kings of
a fine husband.
A bachelor is most In danger Of
rnatrimony, when he feels so sure
of himself that he filings every
woman a rope and defies her to
catch him.
Somehow, a man who has been
thrown over always lands in an
other woman'S arms.
The modern bachelor stops to
take his temperature and looks
around for an antidote, the mo-
ment he discovers that a woman
has stirred his pulse.
When a man has confessed all
his little faults and weaknesses,
pick out the one he never men.
toned, and you'H find his beset-
ting sin.

LABOR HEAD URGES
ID SUPPORT OF RED CROSS

Invariably II is the masses of the
people which suffer most when dlsas-
ters occur" stated william Green,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor. recently
Because they suffer most and be
cause Of their helplessness. the minis
trations of the Red Cross organization
take on added Significance and impor'
tance. No doubt many lives among
these particular groups are saved
through the prompt service which this
organization gives.
Because the American Federation
Of Labor appreciates this fact, we have
supplemented the appeal of the Ameri'
can Red Cross at each Roll Call period
for memberships from the great mass
of working men and women and their
families
'The continued service the Amer.
lean Federation OF Labor in this most
humane and unseIfish work will be
most cheerfully rendered"
