Mr.. Plumbee, a WPA worker,
when interviewed, attributed his
success as a wooer to the good
old-fashioned methods of court
ing" But his winning ways, which
never fail to land the bride, have
a way of languishing, so that his
marital ventures wind up in the
divorce court.
Evidently Mr.. Plumlee believes
in stopping his counting after mar
riage, than which nothing could
be a more grievous mistake.
Reliable evidence, from thou
sands of letters which have come
to this column, proves conclu-
sively that women will put up with
gamblers, drunkards, men who
have never held a job and wouldn't
even take one if it were laid in
their laps. Still they are loved,
admired and cherished by wives
because they carry over into matri-
mony the genial methods of court
ing.
PAY COMPLIMENTS
Amiable (although unemployed
husbands know how to pay COM
pliments. They comment on their
wives appearance, and when the
lady wears a becoming gown, or
has treated herself to a permanent
or a facial, they exclaim over it.
Such gentlemen may eat the
one remaining egg in the house
for breakfast, see friend wife I'M
roll her umbrella and go to her
job, riding in a crowded bus or
street car as a straphanger. But
if they make sure to tell her how
lovely she looks before she steps
into the wet, any gathering storm
Of temper will evaporate. She
loves to be called a good sport,
and told that her rain hat is be-
coming.
Then the gentleman, who, like
the lily of the field, tolls not,
neither does he spin, is free to
enjoy his morning paper in the
rocking chair.
Learned punditS who specialize
in the why's and whereforeS OF
human behavior have tried to
fathom the reason why a certain
type of woman accepts life on
these terms. Needless to say, this
type is radically different from
the gold-digger.
Like orchids, these women seem
capable of living on air, dash
of flattery and good manners at
home. Surprisingly, they will go
through flood and fire for the
gentlemanly clinging vines who
remember their manners at home
as well as abroad.
REASSURING
IN the case Of employed women
there is evidence that, in the COM
paratively new economic dispen-
Sation-i.e., women going out to
work in office, shop or factory
there is not an overwhelming
amount of consideration shown
them. Where she is employed,
one Of these girls is just another
job holder.
So when they come back to the
flat at night, it's reaSsuring to
have someone tell them they'll
never grow old, and that their
eyes have witchery like no ones
else.
In short, the average woman is
an incorrigible romanticist, if the
''martS of trade" do not make her
hard-boiled. Novel reading is
largely accountable for this in
Suitable appetite for romance.

Hair WaVin6
Satisfying
BIZ DONNA GRACE


It is now q rare occasion when
a permanent is unsatisfactory, but
it is quite important that the
operator be efficient and have the
proper method. BY this I don't
mean any special machine. There
are many splendid machines on
the market today, also successful
permanent waves can be done
without a machine. =
One even goes so far as to have
a radio attachment that causes
the curriers' to act as receiving sets.
These, of course, do not help or
detract from the permanent wave,
and I mention it only to show that
the manufacturers are so sure Of
themselves that they are able to
do stunts and still wave safely.
The most important part Of the
process of a permanent wave Is
the preparation which consists Of
firSt-a thorough knowledge Of the
texture of the hair. This is neces-
Sary in order to determine the kind
of wave and the length Of time
the hair needs. The next is block
ing; accuracy and neatneSS in
blocking Cor separating each Sec
tom, will result in a perfect wave
that can be matched and waved
in soft, lovely designs all over the
head. One section Of the wrong
twist instead of a smooth wind
will spoil the whole wave.
EXPERIENCES NECESSARY
For the third part-it goes
without saying that the operator
is expected to be thoroughly IA
miliar with whatever method is
being used. The directions for
saturating pads and the time re-
quired should be observed to the
dot. This is one operation that
must be left to the operator.
The only thing customer is ex-
pected to do (besides paying for
the service) is to tell the operator
candidly whether or not the hair
has been dyed or bleached. Most
of them can detect any such
change in the hair, but the safe
way is to tell them at once. Then
they will make a test curl so as
to determine how the hair re-
spends to the heat; after that
they will know just what your hair
needs. They may even tell you
that your hair needs a few recon
ditioning treatments before it Is
advisable to have a permanent.
When you find the hairdresser
who is considerate enough to tell
you that, please believe him and
do not make the mistake Of going
out to someone who will go ahead
and do it without first treating
your hair.

MOTHER COMPLAINS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 have stopped preaching and
trying to make my children profit
by the experiences I have had in
my life. I've tried to make them
prudent and careful about money,
because 1 lost every cent had.
I've tried to help them about
their love affairs, because I had a
very unhappy marriage, and
have tried to show them how they
can gain and keep friends, but all
to no avail
Sometimes they listen, some.
times they do not, but they never
follow my advice. have at last
made up my mind that the only
thing to do is to let the younger
generation bump their heads
against the stone wall of realities
and suffer for it.
Don't you think I am right In
this? "a MOTHER"
I certainly agree with you, my
dear friend, that you may talk to
your children till you're blind.
deaf and dumb, and point out Your
own mistakes in the hope of help
ing them to avoid others along the
same line, and that even if they
listen, they will not be guided by
your counsel.
Better give it up, and as you
say, let them bump their heads
against the wall of stern realities.

cOvery that 1 had let them go SO

many things that I hoped to
have for my wedding, at least
part of my trOusseau, a church

home afterwards.
"Yet I hate to start our mar
ried life by holding up my hus-
band for a $500 dental bill. Do
you think this would be square?
What would you do about it?
"ARLENE.
I'll admit that a lowering den
tai bill is a queer subject to bring
up with ones beloved. But, all
frills aside, it's really the sensible
thing to do. Perhaps he, too, is
looking forward to an elaborate
church wedding, and thinks it
would be good for his position
to be married with that kind OF
a ceremony. Some men are as
keen on having a beautiful we'd
ding as their brides. They con-
slider it definitely good business.
If your fiance is looking for
ward to a picturesque ceremony
with bridesmaids, ushers, etc.
why tell him exactly how things
stand in regard to the dentist
bill? That would be practical
rather than romantic. But to be
successful happy-one
must be practical.

people of Oregon charging that the grant had been

Eventually, in 1916 Congress passed the Cham

government. The act directed the Secretary of the
Interior to classify the land into three types:
Power site lands, tmberlands and agricultural lands
The power site lands, negligible in point of area
were withdrawn from entry. Agricultural lands were
thrown open to immediate entry under the general
homestead laws. Timberlands were to be withheld
from entry until the timber had been sold out and
cut, when they would be thrown open to homestead
entry.

TINE meat of male birds usually
- is darker, tougher and more
stringy, and it contains less fat,
than that of females. Milk-fed
chickens are said to have their
fat more widely distributed than
have corn-fed chickens.
But there is still some argument
over this point. The fat of the
milk-fed chicken is whittier than that
of the corn-fed variety.
Besides the meat, as in the case
of cattle and ether animals, you
should remember that the liver, and
the kidney, the heart, and glandular
organs of poultry contain much of
the most valuable material from the
point of view of nutrition.
Americans annually consume
about 81 pounds of chicken per per-
son. More than billion baby
chicks are Matched annually in TIE
United states. OF this number, two
thirds are Matched in incubators.
Chickens make up 90 per cent of
the poultry used in the United
States. Then there are turkeys,
geese, ducks, squad, pigeons, guinea
hens, pheasants, quail, and other
game birds. All make up an i'm
portant part of the diet of the
American public.

CENERAL belief prevails that
" the meat of poultry is much
more digestible and nutritious than
the lean meat of beef, and further,
that the white meat of poultry fur
nishes less material which may pro-
duce uric acid than does the dark
meat.
Scientifically controlled studies do
not seem to verify these impressions.
There is evidence, however, that the
light meat, such as that of the
breast, is more tender and, therefore,
more likely to be digested easily
than the muscle meat of the thighs.
In poultry meat, as in beef or
other meats, the protein is the SUBJ
stance of chief concern. Poultry
offers from Is to 81 per cent of pro-
TEN, and the amount of fat varies
with the age and food of the bird.
Ducks, geese, squad, and turkey pro-
vide far more fat than do other
poultry
The quality of poultry meat varies
also with the age and even the sex.
in addition to the food on which the
birds are raised. Chickens are
classified as young and old. the
young chickens being divided into
broilers, fryers, roasters and capons;
the old chickens into NstagS, fowls,
and mature males.
There are similar claSSifications
for turkeys, ducks and geese.
