Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson.

ample to the class? Did those
other 'Frsid Cats stand up,
shamed by my courage, and
confess that they'd helped buy
that mucilage at Phillipson's
Drug Store? She did not, ner
did they. They snickered-
that's what they did. And
Teacher sent me to the princi-
pal. Who promptly bounced
me home to Mama's tender
mercy. And then what did
Mama do?. Mama who had
so glowingly indorse the
beauty of Honesty? Why Mama
gave me the works. And that's
what I got for Telling The
Truth.
She Tells the Truth
I've lived SO years since then.
I've put a lot Of mucilage on a
lot of chairs and: at times. ;.
I'VE told the truth about it.
But I must sadly record that
the results were usually the
same. Honesty ISN'T always
the best policy. And if you
want to give your youngster the
straight dope on life, and arm
him against it's vicious surprises,
you had better tell him so.
Tell him fair that if he's at
ter money. or applause. or
popularity. ..or comfort. or
safety. . or pleasure. honesty
isn't the best policy. Maybe it
will work but the chances are
that a tricky technique will get
him quicker and fatter results.
Tell him that. for he'll find
it out for himself, anyway. And
he may then, in his shock, dis
. card your whole creed of morals.
So be honest about honesty.
Warn your youngster that, from
a material viewpoint, Honesty
is a doubtful risk. But also tell
him that, from the angle Of
spiritual returns. it's the best
gamble he can ever take. For
the honest man has something
that millions cannot buy. He
has, in his own soul, freedom
and lack Of fear. he has peace
and pride and strength that
bear compound interest. May
be Life will give him the works
:. but in rare, quiet moments
he will feel he stands straight
with God.

It seemed great while we were

The New Parking
Potpourri

Potpourr1
Editor. Times:
A rational man, upon read
ing the recent idiotic additions
to the traffic and parking regu-
--ations, would probably mistake
them for a burlesQue. AS a
matter Of fact, they are no
bur1esque at all, but are the
law by which Washington mo-
florists must abide or be served
with a pink ticket. They are
not even humorous, unless a
drab touch Of irony tends to
make them so. In all Veracity,
they represent an outrageous
and scandalous affront to the
decent citizens Of washington.
They are the obscene outgrowth
Of some corrupt lobbying by
the traction companies in their
degraded efforts to induce peo-
pie to ride their wretched cars.
Even if these incredibly pre-
posterous regulations accom-
pliSh no other worthy purpose,
they at least point out the
glaring need for intelligent men
to relieve the police Of the traf.
fic problem and handle it in a
civilized and expedient man
ner. It is a sad fact that il
the police have a choice be-
tween a sensible and an idiotic
manner of handling a given
situation, they invariably choose
the idiotic method. For ex-
ample, the police remedy for
hard times is to abolish park
ing in the downtown area from
8 to $50 a. m, when business
is at it's height, and thereby
curtail and disrupt it immea-
surably.
Back in 1910 when traffic
was negligible it was well and
good to give the police a hand
in it. It varied their monoton-
Gus routine Of tiresome pave

would back strongly for the Republican presidential

Perhaps, old man, you COM
plain much about your wife,
devoting so much time and
possibly money to bridge or
other forms Of amusement.
Bridge does not interest you.
A little game Of draw might
appeal to you.
Would you like it If your
wife were to register strenuous
complaints about the way you
spend your money and your
leisure?
OF course you would resent it.
Next summer you will be
playing the game you like best.
without giving much
thought to the inconvenience
you cause to your household
because of your indulgence you
follow your desires in that d.
rection.
Frequently you keep dinners
waiting. fail to arrive in time
when there are guests for din
ner or accept dinner invitations
for you both.
When she demonstrates, you
become angry and inform her
that "a man has to have some
sort Of recreation"
Why is it that you are not
fair enough to consider that
your wife needs respite from her
daily work as well as you do?
Fifty-fifty is a good rule to
follow. You should be as lib
eral in affording your wife op-
portunities for participation in
affairs she enjoys as you expect
her to be.
