used as the subject Of most of
the Jokes in the world, she has
saved many a masculine humor.
iSt from dying in the poorhouSe
or having to work for g living.
Woman may not have In
vented marrlage-but she has
kept it going, and she has added
most of the modern improve
mentS to it.
No man ever goes deliberately
into marriage-he merely stun
bleS into it.
Woman invented society" in
it's more decorative sense. Pink
teas, 12 course dinners, week
end parties, filtration, scandal,
gossip-woman is the author of
all of these.
In fact, It seems that woman
has invented or discovered all
the conventions and graces
which are most uncomfortable
to man, and which make life one
long boredom to him.
Man is still subconSciouSly in
a state Of barbarism, slightly
tempered by woman.
Take all the women out of the
world, and in two years Man
would go back to Nature-and
be comfortable, healthy and
happy.
In less time than that, he
would be rid of safety razors,
linen collars, oyster forks, silk
hats, grand opera, boiled shirts
and tiSsue-paper dinner favorS.
Woman's inventions and dis
coverieS have been ''The White
Mans Burden" ever since she in
vented the one-piece ensemble,
and went in for conventionality.

Eden.

Don't underrate "single-track
minds" Don't underestimate
the power of stupid, stubborn
people with one idea can-and
often does-put it all over the
brilliant citizen with million.
Why? Because the stupid
person doesn't scatter his en-
ergy or shift his viewpoint. He
just keeps drilling away at one
point and, given time, he'll
wear his way through the
toughest resistance. But the
bright person has many inter-
estS and spreads his strength
over them all. He regards the
one-intereSt man with contempt
He considers him weak and
trivial and makes no effort to
defend himself against him.
Instead, he often humors him.
Then one day he wakes to
discover that the little fellow
has put it all over him.
You've seen 1t happen a thou
sand times. In marriage, for
instance. Some big, brainy
chap marries a litUIe nit-wit
a gnat of a woman who
wants and sees only her own
way. No heart. No. intelli-
gence. No imagination. Lazy.
Worthless. Selfish and silly.
You wouldn't consider such a
person very formidable, would
you? Neither does the big,
brainy man when he discovers
what he has picked. Usually
he is pretty sick of his bar

ment that you do not curb
your desires for expensive
amusement. Wise persons do
not overstep financial bounds.
Discontinue cannot make up
for fleeting pleasures.
Travelling beyond your means
all your life, it is time to stop.
But instead Of turning to
things you can afford you
blame your luck or other con.
ditionS that keep you from
your desires.
You must change your prin-
cipleS If you are ever to get
satisfying enjoyment out Of life.
The Washington times., 1930-04-28

Probably at times you wish
you could find enjoyment in
an inexpensive way as number
less others do.
But for some reason you can
not be interested to the point
Of relaxation unless you have
a part in something expensive
and really beyond your means.
Then come regrets that you
have had to spend so much.
You are robbed Of your pleas
ant recollections in wondering
just how long you can keep
up with the pace.

gain, but he decides to stick.
And he proceeds to give in TO
her petty demands. They don't
amount to much any way
thinks he. Anything for peace.
So he pushes her aside in his
thoughts.
But the nit-wit lady isn't
really pushed aside. She's peck
ing right away at her original
purpose. Demanding this.
Whining about that. Wearing
him down. And presently the
whole world realizes that the
big man hasn't any more lib
erty than a trained flea and
the nit-wit woman is running
the whole show.
Why?
Because she knew what she
wanted and went after it.
Why do the weak so often
triumph over the strong? Why
does some worthless, peSty mem
ber of a family lead the whole
tribe around by the nose?
Why does the wicked flourish
and the righteous do a fade
out? That's why. They know
what they want and they go
after it.
Determination is dynamite. It
isn't merely dynamite for the
virtuous and wise. It's just as
dynamitish in the hands OF
fools and sinners. Results are
for the go-getters-regardless of
their mutual status. Don't
despise the perSevering pin
head. Copy his stuff!

The White Mans Burden

The White Mans Burden
Woman invented love, clothes,
manners and conversation.
If it had not been for woman'S
vanity, doubtless Man would
still be going around in animal
skins in Winter, and in fig
leaves in Summer, without so
much as changing a button as
a concession to style"
If it had not been for her
inSiStence on devotion, and her
penchant for petting, he prob
ably would never have dis
covered that his desire to drag
her around his tent was love"
If it had not been for her
fastidiouSnesS, he would prob
ably still be eating his meat
raw, his lobster without New
burgh sauce, and his grass
without Russian dressing.
If it had not been for her
desire to express herself and to
chatter, he would still be con-
verSing (aS many men do), en-
tirely in gruntS and mon
osyllables and clinching his
arguments with a blow instead
of with an epigram.
Woman has also been credited
with having discovered sin.
This is because Eve took the
first bite of the apple.
But, If Adam had taken the
first bite, he would probably
have said it was because Eve
dared him to-and the conclus-
ion would have been the same.
However that may be, wom-

woman is so busy trying to
cure some mans sins, that she

WHAT NEXT?

In a real whaling ship nowadays
the ship swallows the whale, opening
up slip at the stern above the pro-
peller, where the whale is taken in
on a special deck to be cut up. A
new ship, operating down where
Byrd has been, has capacity of 22,-
900 tons-more than Dewey's whole
fleet.
A practically infallible method of
locating oil deposits by means OF
radio has been developed. A radio

comparison Of speed of the explosion
wave with the sound wave on the ra-

istence or non-existence of the "salt
dome" which accompanies all oil de-
posits.
A method has been found in Ger

WORKERS
"Hopelessly in Debt; Effect
of Low Wages

Atlanta.-Organized labor's high
wage philosophy was unconsciously
indorsed by J. L. R. Boyd, secretary
Atlanta League of Building and Loan
Associations, in an address to the To-
cal Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Boyd quoted government fig
ures which show that the average per
capita savings in Georgia is $49.S2,
as against approximately 10 times
that figure in New England and East
ern States.
The people of Atlanta, he said, are
"hopelessly in debt. Even their fur
niture, bought on the intsallment plan,
is held under title contracts"
The speaker made no direct refer
ence to low wage rates enforced in
anti-union plants, but his picture of
mortgaged homes and furniture was
proof that these wages can not estab-
lish markets for home manufactured
products or for commodities shipped
into Southern States.

STEEL TRUSTS TAX
is CUT $33,0OO,OO0

Washington.-The steel trust has
been awarded a refund Of income
taxes the totals $33,000,0OO.
The trust claimed that the govern
ment reduced it's amortization of war
facilities. In the language of the lay
man this means that the corporation
was not allowed what it claimed was
a sufficient amount to pay for war
machinery and other expenses which
are not taxable.
The bureau Of internal revenue
figured an amortization If $48,136,-
472 for the steel trust for losses as
the result Of war facilities required
by the government during the war.
This amortization, deductible from
the corporations income, is in part
responsible for the tax refund.

BIG BANK GROUPS

Immense Growth of Branch,
Chain and Group Systems Re-
vealed By Head of Federal
Reserve Board.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Big
banks and banking groups now hold

sources, Roy A. Young, governor of

Quoted by the house committee on

total banking resources of the ma
ton, measured in terms of loans and
