Mrs. Sam may put things

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis z. Bisch-

THE larger the town or the
l. city, the more likely are it's
inhabitants to be provincial.
BY provincial" in this con-
nection, I mean a spirit of
narrow-mindedness. feeling
that no other place Is as deSir-
able to live in as ones own. a
sense Of SNUG complacency re-
garding the advantages. growth.
and achievements of the home
town,
Mind you. I am not decrying
pride in your own place of
domicile. Nor do I think that
rivalry between towns and
cities is bad.
In fact, everyone should be a
booster and a rooter for his
own home town! If you're not,
there is something wrong with
the town or with you!
My plea, however, is not to
let your enthusiasm for your
own town blind you to the
virtues Of other places. If you
cannot see the fine things in
others. you surely cannot ex-
pect to adopt the best for
yourself and for your fellow
citizens.
If you refuse to recognize
merit wherever it q to be
found. If you fail to profit by
the. example of others. not only
will you remain provincial,
but you'll soon become what's
worse-a hopeless "stick-in-the-
mud"
Now. the best way. and, in
some respects, the only way, to
learn what other folks are
doing is to travel and find out
for yourself.
You can garner heaps of
knowledge through newspapers,
periodicals, and books. None Of
these, however, give the Stimu-
lus to be derived from travel.
There are ScoreS-in large
cities, thouSandS-of people who
never have set foot outside the
city limits.
How many have travelled over
their own United States?
How many have been to
Europe?
Different localities breed diff
ferent people, with ideas, amOl-
tions. and accomplishments
sufficiently different from your
own and that of your neighbors
to afford you a liberal educa-
ton.
And, when you do travel,
don't cling merely to the beaten
path.
Many of the young men and
women who returned from
abroad after the war will tell
you how much they broadened
in their outlook on life because
of the travel features they en-
joyed.
And, in these days, when inter
national relationships are con-
stantly in the public mind and
are being debated in the public
press, each and everyone of us
needs actually to live in the
country of the other fellow, If
he is to form the best iudg-
ment of such . foreigners
character.

ONCE-OVERS

Those who desire your friend
ship for what is said of you,
and those who are jealous or
envious and speak slightingly
because of it,
Don't be mislead either by
protestations of friendship or
manifestations of loving regard
and esteem which others may
extend while you are on the
high tide of good fortune.
It may be honest and sincere
and it may not be.
Don't count on your popu-
larity to get you out of tight
places.
Hesitate to put yourself in a
position to need friends to as
Sist you.
Few come to your aid when
you really need it.,
Don't be pessimistic about It,
but sufficiently sophisticated to
keep your head.

THE ESTEEM OF OTHERS
MO matter how wise you are
~ or how wise you think you
are, there are times when you
realize that there are those
who think you don't know
much.
Before you become too elated
over what you believe to be
your good standing with those
who know you, it might be we'll
to try to learn just what is
your standing.
AS long as your position is
one of prominence, you will
have followers.
If you have accomplished
something unusual there will
be those who praise.
At the same time there will
be others who denounce you.
For prominence brings Its
good and bad features.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

The Long Distance TalkeF
TALKING is supposed to be a
L. feminine art-or a femin-
inc affliction, according to your
point of view. Bernard Shaw
is the only author who has ever
made a hero of a monologist.
That was his charming, vision
ary hero In Man and Super
man" who talked-and talked
and TALKED!
Women may be the "talka-
tive sex"-but, once he gets
STARTED, man holds the rec
ord as a Marathon talker!
A woman may talk faster and
oftener and may crowd more
WORDS into a lifetime, than a
man does. But, for a long-diS~
tance monologue. man has her
beaten, every time! 1t takes
two women to talk as long at
a stretch as one perfectly nor
NAL man.
You can side-track a woman's
chatter, Just by telling her that
her nose is shiny or that you
smell something burning. But.
once a man starts out to tell a
story, or to prove" something,
or to advise" you about some
thing. nothing can turn him
from his course. except an earth
quake or chloroform.
You may shout at him that
he's on fire, and he will merely
brush away the sparks, pick up
the thread of his theme, and go
right on TALKING. You may
spill hot coffee on his knees, or
dror ice down his collar: but
you can't wreck his train Of
argument or make him skip a
word.
A woman talks. just to talk"
She talks to "be entertaining
and she talks because she's
bored. She talks because every
body else is chattering-and she
talks to relieve the silence.
But, when a man starts talk
ing, it is because he thinks he
has something to SAY-and is
determined to say it! He has a
vital message!
IT love to hear you talk"
Tell me more about it!
How Interestingly you put
it,"
Don't stop talking!"
Any one of these exclama-
tions from woman is a trib-
ute that no man can resist out
side of a deaf-and-dumb asylum
can resist. It will brighten UP
the dullest evening and make
a man wonder where you have
been all his life.
Why does a woman ever
waste so much breath and
energy in talking? No man ever
listens to what a woman has to
say. Her conversation is like
a door swinging in the wind
lust an annoying little interrup-
ton.
