What Price Economy?
One of the Strangest and
funniest phenomena of human
nature is the average persons
idea of "economizing."
Everybody, no matter how
generous or extravagant, has
his pet ECONOMY" With some
people it's cigarettes, with
others it's carfare, and with
many it's tips, taxicabs and
electric light bills. But nobody,
in these days. ever seems to
dream of economizing on radios
or gasoline.
The man who keeps on buy
ing one expensive motor car
after another is always the
one who recoils with a Shudder
at the "extravagance" of tax
ing a taxi when caught in a
shower.
And many a woman will pay
$40 for a hat containing about
81 worth of material (and $36
worth of style)-and then
stand IN a steady downpour
until it is ruined, while she
waits for a trolley or a bus,
rather than "hop a taxicab."
Many a man who supports
penthouse apartment, two or
three clubs and a Speakeasy
or a bootleger, feels that he
could not possibly afford the
expense of a wife!
And many another man will
cheerfully buy his wife an er-
mine wrap or a five-hundred
dollar radio, and then sneak
down and snoop in the icebox
to see II the cook had thrown
out the beet-tops or is vast
ing" the butter.
Still another kind of man
will hunt around until he finds
a place where the dinner and
the drinks are cheapest-and
then spend all he saves on food
and liquor for doctors bills
and medicines to cure him of
its effects.
A woman usually buys what
strikes her fancy firSt-and
then thinks, up a good, prac-
tical reason for needing" it

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening

It is not at all unlikely that
in many parts Of the country
this summer, epidemics of
disease distinctly related to the
drought of the last year will
arise. Such conditions have
occurred in the past; there is
no reason to suppose they will
not do so again.
For three years now there
has been a deficiency in rain
fall over wide areas in the
United States. In 1928 it was
largely confined to the Western
States and especially the North
west. In 1929 this area of sub
normal rainfall moved east
ward, and during 1880. 40 out
of 48 States had less h n
normal rainfall.
Condition May Continue
At the present writing there
has been no relief in the situa-
ton, and according to the
weather bureau, such droughtS
have a tendency to perpetuate
themselves and the chances are
that this one will continue in
force.
THE major effect of such
long continued deficiency is
th1 progressive lowering of the
ground-water levels through
out the afflicted areas" says

This Day in History
WANTS TO DO HIS OWN WOOING = By Beatrc
Noted Love Authority on
A Serious Question

A young man writes me a
letter and asks the rather large
conundrum: What's wrong
with the world? What's wrong
with life? His letter finally
comes to the core of his inquiry
with: whats wrong with the
girl world?"
Among other things, he says:
Heaven knows I'm no oil paint
Ing not even a good chrome
perhaps I belong in the funnies,
I don't know-what I want to
know is, why girls chase after
me?"
We might think this was just
q pleasant delusion, one of those
"compenSationS" nature hands
out to the least favored of us.
had not the young man been
at such pains to list all his
disadvantages.
His salary is small. If he mar
ries the girl will have to be
economical. He's modest as to
his appearance. He's never the

moderately good dancer. Yet,

signs himself.
A Dearth of Men
The young man is a tele-
graph operator and railroad
agent in a small town where
there's a terrific dearth of
men. When my correspondent
went there, he was delighted
with it. Everyone had homes.
real homes. The towering
apartment house had not made
its appearance. There was a
river-you could keep a boat.
These things appealed strongly
to a man who had spent a good
many years in a cramped New
York apartment house.
To live in one of those nice
little bungalows not far from
the river, with a back lot large
enough to raise vegetables, and
a garden where the dream
wife" (who had not yet ma
terialized) might potter about
and raise flowers, appealed
strongly to my correspondent.
In some way the secret got
out, and the competition to be
the dream wife" became too
keen to appeal to a young man
who wanted to do his own
courting. Supper was the
ceremonious meal of the town,
and he was invited to dine
every evening his duties would
permit. He had his eye on a
certain girl, but the supperS
were "too good to be true" and

Unquestionably the need of
the small retreat of Ramon's
fitting-up was becoming imper-

as being conspicuous even at
the inconspicuous little tea

Ramon, waiting in the tea
room, had a headache. Some
thing repulsive had happened.
His dancing partner, the Span
ish girl, a volatile, gifted
creature, desperately in love
with a shiftless husband who
was brutal to her, had fallen
ill of a skin irritation that
manifested itself on her face
and disqualified her for the
dance.
The sight of the blemished
girl had been abhorrent to
Ramon, who had also been
obliged to advance the improvi-
dent pair $50 to cover imme-

They pumped him full of the

an eight-hour instead of a three
