the storm in large and enthusiastic
numbers to witness the unique
style show displayed by Mrs. Hat

Present Day Styles
Models for the dresses worn to-
day were: Mable Brown, Misses

Choir Contest
A friendly contest of the Twir
City choirs was scheduled for
y Thursday night. Unforeseen hap
penings kept most of the choirs
from taking part and the singing
was therefore limited to the or
EXAMINATIONS of st. Peter, Mime
apolis; Camphor Memorial, and
Pilgrim Baptist, of st. Paul. The
choir members sang with spirit
and enthusiasm and seemed to COM
pletely satisfy the listeners. There
was no decision as to the merits
of the participating units but each
person present was permitted to
believe that his own choir repre-
scented the only logical winner.
Children Give Play
A playlet, staged by children
from to IL years old, was pre-
scented for Fridays offering. The

MYTH agitation for old age
w pensions, a new conception
of human values is Towering on
American soil. The reactionaries
are resisting, Of course, but re-
sistance has become habitual with
them and it would be foolish to
heed their frightened Fremont
tions. Their individualistic
ideals already have proved unde-
pendable. They tell us we may
expect Americanism to die, the
Constitution to collapse, aand the
treasury to become a more vacuum
if all upright, industrious men and
women of more than sixty-f1ve are
provided with slim livelihood
for their last years.
But their reasoning is as wrong
as their vision is short. For no
legal enactment would do more
to energize the national economic.
order than an old age pension
law.
Let lis look at the facts care
fully. The fear of poverty is the
greatest incentive to greed, and
not the father of all civil crime?
From the day the boy begins his
career, he carries in the back Of
his mind the nagging thought that
he must accumulate, save and
even stint himself of those lux
uries which make life full and
beautiful lest he and his family
starve amid full wheat bins when
he has become too old and weak
to work. Our entire competitive

system, which is responsible for
SO much social misery and so
many Wretched lives, has this fear
for it's crumbling foundation.
A thousand sbusiness ventures
every year are not made, mil
lion generous deeds go undone be-
cause those who are moved by
large impulses dare not let go
of what they already possess.
They are frightened by the
thought that during the saddest
period of their lives they may
have to exist upon charity. And
charity is the bitterest of all sus-
tenance.
The old have few wants. Years
strip from us most of our desire
for excess and leave simplicity.
Fewer veterans pensions would
be necessary if we took proper
care of all Our aged, while there
would be the added advantage Of
knowing we were giving crime
sock in the jaw. The individual
who had served a prison term
hardly would ask protection from
a society to which he had proved
enemy and traitor. Nor is this all
of the story, for it is not possible
to estimate the gain in conf
dence ,inventiveness and in in
creased initiative and JOY that
such social improvement would
bring. These would be immeasur-
able.

know her. How many thousands of
young women have had the same
experience?
I have on my desk a letter from
an unusually intelligent young wom-
an who has just had this. expert
ence and is SO deeply Inundated
that she does not want one word
of her letter published. Her home
is depression ridden, but she has
been a good sport about it. There
are children to consider.
Her husband insists that he loves
only her and that his depression
means nothing. I imagine he has
spoken the exact truth. A man
/ physically in love with his wife may
be physically untrue to her. To him
it means nothing. To her it means
everything.
Fidelity is the ideal, the demand
of our ethical ego. But fidelity is
not quality bequeathed by nature.
That there are people born with
beautiful capacity for fidelity is
sentimental myth. There arr. people
who are more conservative in their
behavior than others, who fear the
| new, unknown and unexpected.
But there are no people just natur-
ally faithful. For the most part
human beings are naturally poly
gamous.
In many men the obligation to be
faithful becomes oppressive after
the first few years of marriage.

There are others which weather

ity exists when one always returns
TO the object of his love.
The wise wife who wishes to pre-
serve her home will simply recon-

the German woman.
"And on April II the Reich League
of Housewives suggested a COM
pulsory year of houseWork for every
German girl. Good enough.
"But on June l it was announced,
in forcible terms, that spinsters
would be taxed and scorned and
that only the blushing bride would
prove acceptable in the eyes of the
state. How do. you fit these COM
mands together?"
Kitchen YardStickS Ignored
For Hitler must know, as well as
you and I, that his sex has never
been notable for its good sense in
choosing homely, worthy wives with
a knowledge of bread making, when
it came time to propose. They have
way of running, as fast as they
can, from the kind of girl who has
potential good wife and mother"
written all over her broad brow.
They want their lady loves pretty,
and they want them decorative,
and they think it is rather cunning
of the bride to cry over her first
batch of biscuits.
When Hitler took their cosmetics
and sheer stockings and silly little
gewgaWs away from the women of
Germany he robbed them Of one of
their strongest weapons in husband
hunting and left them high and
dry, with no desire to pay a spinster
tax, but no man in sight who did
not find them sadly lacking in sex
appeal. And that, it seems to us,
was serious strategic error.
COncOnfOrmists Will Win
For what will happen? Some
little mink of a French girl, with
high heels and Chanel scent, will
come visiting in Baden and
half the Nazi regiments will lay
their hearts at her feet. Some I'M
patriotic and cynical German girls
will ignore the Hitler edict and deck
themselves out in feminine f1nery and
gobble up the best husbands in the
land.
That means that the good, Ger
manic, NaI women who were
trained for motherhood may never
get a chance to show how adept
they could be at that art-poor
things!
To take every aid to allure away
from the group you wish to marry,
to force them to roughen their
hands with dishwater and spoil
their compilations with scrubbing,
is shortsighted way Of attempting
to gain your ends. Hitler should be
told.
