; Is there any person more
foolish in actions or converse
tion than the middle-aged man
who tries to be attractive to
a young woman?
Unfortunately these fellows
don't realize that when a. pretty
woman gives them encourage
ment she does it as a matter
Of entertainment to satisfy her
ego or for some kind of finan"
cial gain.
In most cases where a wom-
an demonstrates her power
over a man she has no real
respect for him because he has
let her make a fool of him.
The older mans efforts to
appear young, vigorous, modern.
spirited, good-natured and ap-
pealing are ludicrouS.
His grimaces, which he evil
IDENTIFY believes to be most win
ming smiles, result in a partic-
ularly silly smile-a sort OF
Smirk.
And when he tries to talk
with his eyes he makes a mess
of the whole undertaking.
The onlooker thinks he is an
imbecile and he appears that
way to the one whom he is
trying to "fascinate."
He is considered a joke, a
marionette to dangle and make
perform as she chooses.
Don't be fool, old man.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson :

other one of my big, brutal
habits. You could hear me
making-up-my-mind all over the
place. Feebler souls might have
wished to do a little determin-
ing for themselves, but they
didn't stand much chance when
I crashed into action.
Indeed, in my love for max
ing-up-minds I usually went
right ahead and made up theirs,
as well as my own. Generally
without the slightest regard for
their personal inclination.
And did I do all this because
I loved my fellow-man and
wished to serve him for his best
good?
kidded myself that I did,
and I handed myself many
medals for my big-hearted att1-
tude, my courage and good
sense.
BUT THE TRUTH WAS 7
WAS JUST A BIG BULLY,
GETTING MY OWN WAY.
I liked to battle, and I liked
to boss. And as long as people
humored me in my favorite pas
times. applauding my battling,
submitted to my bossing, I was
greatly pleased and warmed up
to them accordingly; but if they
didn't I usually got as sore as a
wet hen, and despised them
heartily.
A Strong Woman
Yes, I was a strong woman,
with all the highly disagreeable
virtues of the breed.
But gradually-never mind
howl got wise to myself, lady,
and 7 began to see that Us
Strong Gals didn't deserve all
the honors.
We made a lot of noise-but
there were quieter souls whose
silence was worth a million of
our brawling broadcasts.
We made up our minds-but
frequently we didn't have much
mind to make up, and the re-
suit was a mess.
We rushed ahead and got
somewhere-but we missed a
lot of lovely scenery by the way.
Our victories and successes
always made front-page news.
We saw to it that they did.
But there were failures which
were nobler than our successes.
There were compromises and
surrenderS more beautiful than
our victories.
AS a matter of fact, the great
eSg human achievements had
not been performed by the
strong and ruthless. They had
frequently been the contribution
of the weak and the timid, the
gentle, the humble and the
heart-broken.
ana so I've revised my Op1n-
ion of myself, sister. I no longer
think that we brawling broads
are such a treat. Instead, I
often find myself looking with
enviouS and humbled eyes at
those who have courage not to
fight, wisdom enough to be fool
iSh, strength enough to be weak
and simple and trusting.
And when good fortune puts
such a gentle soul in my way. I
no longer sneer and hand out
great, noisy gobs of advice. I
thank God instead for a chance
to listen and learn.

WOu1d4k-
Oh, yeah? And T suppose
you're thinking, sister, that you
deserve a lot of laurels for that
fact. Then you're thinking
wrong. For I'm far from agree
ing that strong women are
Gods greatest gift to matri-
mony.
Am I telling you? I am.
And I'm just the girl who can,
for I'm a strong woman my
self: and I, too, used to glory
in the fact.

I had gobs and gobs Of that
spunk you so admire. No job
was too tough for me to tackle,
no risk too great. 7 not only
fought all my own battles but I

so I could fight 'em.

Married couples should at
least try not to appear bored
by each others company when
in public.
Comparatively few make an
effort to be agreeable to each
other, as the sour looking
couples at public gatherings
can testify.
Watch the married people
you see when they are among
strangers.
How many appear to be on
friendly terms, even?
And so far as evidences Of
real companionship is con-
cerned they are not readily dis
cernible.
Therefore it is refreshing and
pleasing to see married
couple between whom there
seems to exist interest and
good feeling.

They create an atmosphere
in which it is easier for other
couples to be smiling and ami
mated.
There is no prettier picture
than a smiling man and wife
and happy youngsters.
But the brow-beating old
crouch irritates his wife and
the public.
Most wives have pride enough
to appear amiable and are
properly chagrined by the de-
meanog Of cross husbands.

restoration Of purchasing
power. President Hoover has
made impossible the restora-
tion of our lost foreign
trade by his action in veto
ing a bill providing for ne
gOtiations with, our former
customers for reciprocal ar
rangements to reopen the
markets. Mr.. Garner says:
1T is evident that the
situation cannot be remedied
by international negotiations
to remove barriers and re-
strictions upon international
commerce since the present
administration will not per-
NIT legislation Of this ma
ture. Therefore we must
consider what, if anything,
can be done to improve the
situation by direct action of
the Government"
The fact that revival de-
pends on trade is indicated
in the observation of the
great banks in New York
that there are no demands
for loans by the big indus
tries because they are not
expanding. They are not
expanding because the de-
mand for their products does
not justify it. And there
are no demands for their
products since there is no
trade with Europe because
of a stupid tariff act, and
little domestic trade because
millions have no purchasing
power.
The Washington times., 1932-05-24

THE American people, we
= are sure, have no SYM
pathy with the attempt of
special interests seeking
tariff privilege to take ad-
vantage of the nations ne
cessities in the matter of the
balancing Of the budget, to
force tariff rate boosts into
the tax bill. And while a
tax bill that will balance
the budget must be passed,
it is intolerable that there
should be any surrender on
that point.
We want no more Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Com
pany scandals-made easy
by the necessities of the ma
tion. It is now reported
that President Hoover may
make his protest against the
incorporation Of more pro-.
tective tariff privileges into
the tax law. Thus there is
a possibility that the coun-
trv is to behold the amazing
spectacle of a high tariff
President, more responsible
than any one else for the
most outrageous tariff act
in history, rebuking some
Democrats in Congress for
insisting on making that
tariff higher still. We may
not understand the finesse
Of politics and the psy-
chology of the mass Of the
people, but we suspect that
the persistence of Democrats
in fighting for a Republican
tariff will make the Demo-
cratic party ridiculous in the
eyes Of the nation.
It is true that but a few
Democrats are seeking to
increase the tariff, but the
Republicans control the
major part Of the press and
of the agencies of publicity,
and during the campaign the
country will get the impress
sion that the Democratic
party is responsible.
Governor Ritchie e's severe
structures on these tariff
privilege Democrats are

we are profoundly ignorant
Of what the Democratic
party stands for.

Prosperity Loan

But before Congress ad-
journs, it is going to do
something toward creating
jobs on needed public con-
struction, or the people are
going to ask each member
the reason why when he
goes back home to face his
constituents.
Generations ago when
there was untold suffering
among the workers in the in
dustrial centers of England,
Mrs. Gaskell wrote great
novel, Mary Barton,'' to
awaken the public con-
science, and Disraeli, about
the same time, wrote his "Sy-
bill" for the same purpose.
Human nature then was
much as it is now. One Of
the characters in Mrs. Gas
kell's novel, offered charity,
replied with feeling:
II don't want money,
child! Damn their charity
and their money! I want
work and it is my right. I
want work.
This novel made a pro-
found impression, for it was
written from the heart by a
woman who was a mother
and who looked into the
pinched faces of starving
children and into the an
guished eyes of their par
ents. But there were "eco-
nomists" and "conserva-
tives" in those days who
were shocked by the authors
action in picturing these suf-
fering unemployed as human
beings and not as inanimate
cOgs in the industrial ma
chinery. Even the Manches-
ter Guardian, not then the
liberal paper it has become,
thought the book revealed a
"morbid sensibility to the
conditions Of the operat-
ives"; and the Edinburgh
Review thought such books
likely to be mischievous in
the South for the lack of
stress on artisan improvi-
dence.
But it was ga story over
which S tat m e n weep"
which Carlyle warmly
praised, and to which Walter
Savage Landor paid poetic
tribute:
"Some there are whose
names will live
Not in the memories, but in
the hearts Of men;
Because those hearts they
comforted and cheered,
And, when they saw Gods
images cast down,
Lifted them up again, and
blew the dust
From the worn feature and
disfigured limb
There are so many of
"God s images cast down" in
this country now that the
Federal Government dare no
longer stand aloOf.
There must be a prosperity
loan, and provision must be
made for Federal help to

Speaker Garner
Submits a Program


Meanwhile Speaker Garner
submits a program of his
own. He would place $780,
100000 at the disposal Of the
President, to be used at his
discretion in relieving suf-
fering that is beyond the
cure Of the communities
where it exists or of the local
governmental units. This, as
he shows, has been done be-
fore when the necessity did
not even approach that of
today.
Then he would so broaden
the base of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation as
to permit it to make loans to
cities, counties and States re-
quiring them for the relief
Of human misery where
"legal and adequate security
could be offered. " Some
thing Of the sort was urged
by the city of New York
when the bill creating the
corporation was pending,
but there was more interest
in embarrassing a Democratic
city administration than in
preventing the slow starva-
tion of hundreds Of thou
sands Of its women and chill
dren.
Then, again, he would pro-
vide a billion-dollar pros
perity loan for building pur-
poses that would put men to
work, and to take care Of the
interest and sinking fund so
as not to embarrass the
budget, he would levy gaso-
line tax of 1-3 of l per cent.
This, as Rainey points out,
"could not be passed on to
the consumer because we
have no unit of value of that
amount. -
The process of whiting
down the prosperity loan to
an amount that will be
wholly inadequate goes on.
but it is a happy omen when
we find Congress turning its
attention to the desperate
needs of human beings and
recognizing the responsibility
of a national government in
dealing with a national crisis.
