Boy
AdUlSe5
Girl
By George Antheil

ONSISTENT CONNIE"
" thinks l am unfair to the
fair sex and coddle my own
kind too much. Maybe l do.
At any rate, her letter sounds
as though l should be hung
or something.
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I enjoy
your articles and generally agree
with them. But two of your
answers ranked in me. In the
first, young girl, engaged to be
married, asks your advice about
her young man who slapped her.
Horrors, you advised this poor
weak creature (she must be a
weakling) to give the young
man another chance! AS though
life with such an uncomfortable
beast could be anything but a
veritable hell.
II wonder if the sexes had
been reversed would your adj
vice have been so magnanimous
and forgiving.'
Then came the second letter
and I just had to write to you.
This time young man asks, 1e-
garding marrying an il-tem-
pered girl, what kind of a life
partner she would make. Did
you advise this man to give the
girl another chance? No.
TRADE Against
Wonaan-kind
Your brotherly sympathy
flew to him Immediately and
you promptly advised him to
flee from her. as though she
might have had the smallpox.
Then you launched on a long
dissertation upon the evils of
intempered girls.
II agree with you and much
that you say about ill-tempered
girls. An ugly temper is not to
be admired in either sex. But
why discriminate in favor of
your own sex? I have seen
many bad-tempered people liv.
ing happy married lives. 1t is
matter of control. Very few
men or women have the angelic
dispositions with which you
credited your face slapper.'
BE fair and watch your step,
George, for by the looks OF
some of the letters you have
been getting lately you may be
in for a hair pulling before
long.
CONSISTENT CONNIE"
She Says
She Didn't
Wait minute, Connie. You
have done me wrong. I did
NOT condone the slapping. I
told Betty (who had been
slapped II times in a year by
her jealous fiance) not to wait
for another slap. To go after
that brute hammer and tongs
and announce another slap or
attempted would mean good
bye forever. A French heel
brought down sharply over the
head is effective also.
Now about the bad-tempered
girls. A chap wrote asking gen.
orally about the bad-tempered
girls. OF course. I said forget
EN-. Lies too short to go out
looking for the chronic bad
tempered ones-be they male or
remale.
I can take it, Connie, but
please quote me accurately.

Crate fine six or eight raw

toes stand for a little while in a
dish and make a little hollow in
the center, so that when water
accumulates, it may be dipped

ready to fry, add two egg yolkS,
one grated onion, a little salt

Gods Of The Harvest

Secretary Henry A. Wallace came
into the New Deal as a DISCONTINUED
Iowa Republican. He brought with
him a plan Of his own. put II on
trial and called It an experiment.
II finally came to be known as the
Ever Normal Granary. The great
truth that "man proposes. God dis
poses." has warped the Wallace
granary. as the boundless yields OF
crops glut the markets and give one
dull. sickening main in the pit. as
he reads the dailv market prices
offered for the golden grain. the
snow white cotton: the tasseled corn
the. sustaining potato. and other
products OF our farms.
Wallace challenges the farmers
CHALLENGES them 10 face and con-
amer the new challenge. He declares
with apparent confidence thet tho
farmers can still win. We all hop
that he is right.

LOVE

By T. A. HALL. Milford
o the love that's lifting me
It lifts above life's stormy sea
II will lift above earth's storm cloud
When leave behind earth's mouldy
shrOud.
Love sent our Saviour to the earth,
Gods angels praised Him at His
birth
A sGift of Grace, a Gift to you
o without His Grace what would we
do?
Then take this Gift of Grace that's
given
And take today the road TO heaven
Just lay on the Lord your every care
And supper will be ready when you
get there. II

Railroads And Ships

Railroad workers have voted in
favor Of general strike, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt invokes emergency
powers under the railway labor act
and names a special board to study
the wage dispute. This will at least
postpone the strike until December
l. Thus the railroad problem be-
comes more difficult and eomplicat-
ed with each succeeding "emergen-

The good old Dollar Line has been
scuttled, and neglected, and manag-
ed in a way that was "shockingly in
competent" and notorious for its al
most callous neglect" in many par
ticulars, according to a statement
from the United States Maritime
Commission.
William Gibbs McAdoo resigns as
Senator from California TO become
Chairman of the board of the Dollar
Steamship Lines. which has been
taken over by the United States.
Thus. the Government launches its

POLITICAL CAREERS
NOW OPEN TO YOUTH
DECLARES DIPLOMAT

Never was there a more oppor
tune time than now for young maj
to begin a political career" declare
Meredith Nicholson. United State
minister to Nicaragua, in chalieng

Young Men" in The Rotarian Maya
zine. The next decade is certain Il
be one Of the most interesting ant
most important in history" in thi.

"As to the choice of a party afIil-
iation, that's your personal affair,
says the diplomat and author. u
suggest, however, that it is not abb
solutely necessary for you to enroll
in the party of your grandfathers, or
even of your wife's relations. Nor is
il wholly wise to align yourself with
a party which, at the moment. may
seem invincible, in the belief that 1t
can never lose"
Young men in politics should do
their own thinking. Mr.. Nicholson
insists, rather than sacrificing prin-
ciples in order to keep regular" A
sense Of humor, tolerance, person.
ality, and the ability to listen will
contribute to the success Of those
who aspire to political leadership.
IF you are a snOb,' he warns,
boil the poison out of your system
before you attend your first precinct
meeting.
IF / were eOunselling a serious
young aspirant as to how to begin
political career, should advise him
first of all to make a study Of some
phase of government administration.
And / should suggest a municipal or
county unit as a good beginning.
Here the abuses are often so flag
rant and the need so great that his
education in politics cannot fail to
proceed prosperously."
The multiplication of the functions
of government i'm recent years makes
it desirable that a public servant
should have a scientists's special
knowledge in as many fields as pos
sible, Mr.. Nicholson believes, for

Chairman" Goes To Bat

DR.. A. E. Morgan, who was remov-
ed as head of IVA by President
Roosevelt for "contumacy," insists
that he is still on the pay roll and
still on the job. To enforce his claim
and keep his position he has filed a
petition in the District Federal Court
of Tennessee seeking to enjoin the
other directors from "hindering" him
in the position he claims the Presi-
dent had no authority to take away
from him.
Meanwhile the battlefront be-
tween public utilities and those that
are privately owned remains in the
Tennessee region.

science in general greatly broaden
the industrial base, increasing the
number of raw materials that may
be used to produce finished pro-

basic elements in whatever form or
