! want to, but because have to. /
suppose you make at least a living
wage, or else you would have plenty
to do to mind your own affairs and
figure out how to make dollar go
as far as two.
Suppose you made only $12 or SIS
a week or less, as lots of men do,
and have two children, one in high
school, and one in grade school.
I suppose you think you still could
be He Man.
You certainly would but you
would be a darned poor and hungry
one unless you could see fit to take
school away from your children
rather than have your wife work.
I work because it is my duty as a
wife and mother and you he men
who do not like it certainly are
out of luck as far as I am con-
cerned. A he man would be small
he man to do my work at any rate.

T NOTICE in The Times where
Il Mrs. Walter Ferguson has her
say Shall Married Woman
Work."
I wish to correct her in a few
places or else I have been misin-
formed, that there are 1900, 900 more
women in the United States than
men. Then the head of the house
should be the man. If we believe
our Bible, man was made first and
God saw it was good. Now, unless
the woman is a widow, or the man
an invalid, the woman's place is in
the home, or at least SO out of every
100 will say so.
can name few men in my
neighborhood who don't do enough
work to keep healthy, but let their
wives toll. Then 1 notice that
where most of the women do the
work, they either have no children,
or very few, which is bad for this
old United States. Other countries
have all they can, because some
day we will be at war again, and we
will need some of the same kind of
boys who did it the last time. So 1,
for one, say a womans place is in
the house. P. S. THOMAS.

CLARENCE H. GEIST, owner of
~ the Water company, displayed
a beautiful spirit-Geist is German
for spirit-in advancing a direct
sales tax as part plan for economic
recovery. Would it not be more
appropriate just to charge public
monopolies round price for use Of
our streets?
This would take the place of do
nations 10 clubs in the shape of
electric organs and possibly reduce
the large incomes of such mon
opolies.
A few years ago Mr.. Geist pur-
chased a 100000 piece of prop
erty at Coral Gables. 1t may be
quite pertinent to inquire how Mr..
Geist became owner of the canal
which was built by the estate.

60, Mr.. Lodge Member, you
- think you are seeing things. If
you had been in your snug little
bed, all tucked in, instead of run
ming around our streets, looking for
admiration and excitement, you
would have saved your pure mind
from the temptation of our Wild
spirited women. I am mother,
and if in dire need to feed my kids,
l expect 1 would do the same as
these poor creatures, who are not
ioing those things from choice. So
let our mo mean city" rest.

think that if Ted Louis were to

suits.
I, for one. would take a chance
on his proposition. If I won, I'd
really win; on the other hand, I'd
