WOMEN ARE NOT
SO easy" AS MEN
IN FLATTERY GAME

what do you think of the claim
that women like admiration and fiat
terry as much as men and are no less
fools than men In the hands of one
of the other sex who uses that meth
cd of getting into their good graces?
"Dor.. you think that's ridiculous?
I've never yet met man who
wouldn't believe anything charming
and delightful about himself that any
woman might tell him. But I've seen
many man try to bamboozle wom-
an and fall because he laid 1t on too
thick" This was asked of woman
writer of note, who replied as fol-
lows:
| think our reader has hit upon an
important truth In the relationship Of
the sexes.
do not doubt for one moment that
women like admiration as much as
men--that Is admiration from the
other sex. Indeed | believe this Is In
way more important factor with
women than with men. BY that l
mean that while men may "eat up
admiration from the other sex, that
| Is not the motivating factor of their
Interest In them; while with some
women delight In masculine admira-
tIon Is largely the root Of their enjoy
ment of the society Of the other sex.

men. A homely woman does not

but 1t has to be done more subtly.
Therefore the man who Is wise will
discriminate In his fiattery. He Will
look for the good points, which In
some form or other are possessed BY
every woman, and concentrate on
them, rather than attempt to endoW
|her with charms which she realizes
Iare not hers.
1t is not that women like fiattery
less, but they have more difficulty

Medals Couldn't Take
Away Thorpe's Victories

Let us try again. There Is the story
OF the Indian who won trunkfui Of
medals and cups at the Olympic 0ames
In 1912. Later Il was discovered that
he had played while competing against
these amateurs Of all nations. He was
ordered to return his prizes.
Newspapers of the day carried tear-
full columns about this decision OF the
overlords OF amateur sport. Friends
attempted to sympathlze With him over
the loss OF awards greater than those
that ever had come to any athlete. Jim
Thorpe peered through beady eyes,
noted all this hulabalno and was gen.
timely surprised.

And so on and on
Thorpe listened, frowned and was
silent. Ii Is said that Indians never
reveal their thoughts by tho express

may have been wondering what was

moments OF silence. But they did moi

Once a great magazine commissioned
me to do an sftfeis abast a ssH-naads
man who was at the head Of business
enterprise capitalized at many mill
lions OF dollars. II seemed like an easy
assignment and yet more than month
elapsed before the story was assem-
bIed.
There was reason. Although he ID
lucky when he breaks 100 at golf, this
man once had made hole In one. SO
he spent the evenings talking about
that ace.
"Why shouldn't talk about lit" no
asked each time tried to change the
subject. Suppose am the head OF

voice always took on new note
"how many people ever made hole

There was no use In pointing out
that boiling out In one stroke from the
cup was matter Of luck and that the
odds are perhaps q million to one that
1t can happen to him again. 1t was
triumph that set him apart from 9TH

from him.

We say this because, before the
discovery Of Bayer Aspirin, most

vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for

Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands OF people

proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Baycr
