We have had time by now to re-

girls and we have grown used to
the antics of modern youth.
But have We learned anything?
We have seen our young folks
in rebellion, kicking over the
traces that restrained them and
held them bound to the family
tree, doing things with boldness
that took our breath away. upset

forming all sorts of tricks and

blush of shame to our cheeks.

But they have learned their

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
Control
BY Helen Rowland

LOve-COntrOl
7 E-CONTROL-and how to
IL get it. This is the vital prob
lem which faces the modern
woman who has got about every
thing else she wanted and went
after.
The battle Of the sexes Is not
for money but for love-control,"
says Prof. VIM. Marston, psychol.
ogist, who Is always saying some
thing interesting.
So THAT explains all this sud
den sex-antagonism which is fill
ing the world with man-haters
and woman haters and hard-boiled
bachelors and confirmed bache-
lorettes!
The Tender Passion has ceased
to be a skilled fencing-match and
has become plain wrestling
match, an open struggle for
supremacy, beside which woman's
fight for economic independence
looks like a little game of ping
pong.
But the quickest and surest
way to get love-control, dear
heart, is not to TRY. The win.
ner in the love.contest is the one
who does not take the game too
seriously-the one who keeps
cool heart, a steady head and
poker face, and does not over
play his hand.
You can get almost anything
in this world that you want by
going AFTER it-except love.
But love, like your shadow. flees
when you pursue it and follows
you when you flee from 1t. Some
how, when you run after a man
all you get Is the exercise.
That is why men have the
Iove-control everywhere since the
world began. Love is and al
ways has been so much less I'M
portant to a man than woman.
Nature has given him Dig
handicap of nonchalance. indit-
ference and self-assurance.
Love-control is a matter of self
control. heart-control and emo
tional control. Nobody can win
any kind of battle, from a prize
fight to a war. when he loses his
poise, his balance, his aim and
his head.
A loYe-affair is always happier
and smoother when the big bal
ance of love is on the MANS
side. A woman can stand being
loved a whole lot more than a
man can. In woman's bright
lexicon there is no such thing az
TOO MUCH love.
In love a woman is always 20
leaps ahead of a man. Her
mind is at the altar, putting uD
the decorations, while his Is still
floating around in the hay flush
of budding romance. She has
the wedding day all set and the
bridesmaids all picked out before
he has discovered the real, color
of her eyes. BY beating him
to it, she defeats her own ends.
No Don Juan was ever gen.
uine woman-hater. And no sue
cessful siren was ever an honest
man-hater. They are too busy
lighting one flame from the en-
bers of another to get seriously
cynical about 1t.
To win in the love.game, be
sweet, be kind. be amiable. be
lovable-but always keep your
heart at a slightly lower temper
allure than the mans and your
emotions held back to = slower
pace than his.

things that happened during the
campaign"
Hoover wore his usual sport va
cation costume, blue coat, white
pants and white shoes.
No pictures were taken as Hoo
yer requested none be made.
Though the leaders of the coun-
try's two great political parties had
met only once before and that
casually at a Red Gross rally in
New York in 1921, they ceemed i'm
mediately to find common ground
and chatted in a very friendly way
about amusing incidents of the
campaign.

BOOTH PEACE OFFER
is GREETED COLDLY

Councillors Refuses to Negotiate
Until Court Action Is Withdrawn,
BIZ United Press
LONDON, Jan. 29.-GeneraI w.
Bramwell Booths offer to accept
mediation in his struggle with the
high council for supreme authority
in the Salvation Army has met a
cold reception among the council
iors.
Reliable sources indicated today
that the council maintains there can
be no negotiations with General
Booth until he withdraws the in
junction he obtained week ago re-
straining selection of his successor.
After the injunction was issued,
General Booth proposed to the
council that he would allow it to
elect his successor providing the
council would allow mediation of
other reform measures suggested.
The injunction hearing, twice
postponed, was scheduled for to-
day.
