LET NORMAN THOMAS
MAKE 1T PLAIN

Ia9 DIR. VIRGIL JORDON, president
of the national industrial conference
board, told members of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce that
socialism has come to the United
States to stay, and says he believes
it will be the Norman Thomas type
of socialism. ! do not know just
what the Norman Thomas type Of
socialism may be. Do you? Most Of
us do not.
Is it the type which proposes to
divide all the wealth or only GER
tain parts of it?
Is it the type which would have
the government operate the business
of the nation and if so, would it be
all business or only certain lines, or
of a certain size?
Is it the type which would give
everyone a liberal allowance on
which to live whether or not he
worked for it, and if so, where are
we to get the money?
There are other proposals / have
heard made by people who claim to
be followers of Norman Thomas So
cialism.
The fact is, / have read much of
what Mr.. Thomas has written and
spoken, but I have never been just
sure of what it all means. Now if
we are to have his type of socialism
as a steady diet, win he please ex-
press it all in primer form SO we
may understand the new rules.

WHAT CONSTITUTES
A COUNTRY COMMUNITY

A COLLEGE GROUP asked if I
could describe country commune
ty. My answer was:
"a number Of homes, schools,
churches and a bank, built around a
number of stores and other business
places. Take the stores and bust
ness places away and the schools,
churches, bank and homes viii soon
disappear.
That is true Of your town. It is
the stores which make it a market
place, and it is as market place
that it survives.
Stores make real estate values
possible. The taxes they pay help
materially in supporting the schools.
The contributions of merchants aid
in supporting the churches. They
make the maintenance Of the bank
possible. Directly they make the
town market place. Indirectly they
maintain it as social and cultural
center for people Of the town and
surrounding farms.
Nearness to market place, to a
social and cultural center, aids in
making farm values.
Stores and business places make
the town possible. From every self
ish viewpoint it is desirable to keep
them operating and the more there
are, the better market place your
town viii be.

Female Liars Superior
To Male, Runyon Says
BY DAMON RUNYON

OUR old man said when women
" lied at all they were usually
much better liars than men. He
said this was because women
seldom lied without purpose and
rarely on inconsequential mat
tiers while men were given TO
promiscuous lying and about
little things.
He said you did not often en-
counter a woman who would
stand up and deliberately lie
about her own adventures or
achievements, whereas among
men this was a common form
of fabrication. He said for in
stance, a man would lie about
his personal exploits in business,
or in hunting or fishing, or fight
ing, and even about his con-
quests in the field Of love, a
species of lying in which women
never INDUCED.
Our old man said when
woman lied there was generally
some point 10 her lying. He
said in nine cases out of 10 she
lied TO protect herself or some
one else, and thought she was
at her best when lying in self
defense. He said the strength
of woman's lying was in her
ability to convince herself that
her lie was the truth and thus
she could present il with ire
mendous sincerity. a knack that
few men liars could acquire.
He said that the greatest OF
the men liars Of his experience
always had a little doubt in
their minds as to the solidity of
their lies and this doubt would
reflect itself on cross-examina-
ton, while the great women
liars, having convinced them
selves of the truth of their lies,
made them sound all the more
truthful under fire. Our old man
said it was very difficult TO
expose a lie that the liar her
self believed.
OUR old man said he wanted
" it distinctly understood that
he was not implying that all
women lied or that all could
lie with facility when they did
lie. He said il was his observa-
ton that only about As per cent
of the women ever lied at all.
as against SO per cent of the
men and that many Of these
women were great bunglers at
lying. He said the high class
liars among women such as he
had described were compare
lively scarce.
Some one asked our old man
how he knew so much about
women liars and he said he
elaborated with a citizen back
in our old home town of Pueblo
be the name of Sam on a study
of the subject with the idea Of
writing a book
He said they had particularly
studied Sans wife. a fine look
ing womah who felt that her
marriage vows did not compass
severing all contacts with for
mer beaus, OF which she had

many. Our old man said If you
wanted 10 be brusque about the
proposition he supposed you
would have 10 say that Sans
wife was a gadabout. Her name
was Molly.
MOLLY was a great one for
A'A making trysts with her old
flames. She also acquired few
new ones as she went along. Our
old man said he thought she
should have had a bicycle to get
around 10 her trySts. He said
that naturally stories Of her
movements soon came to Sans
ears and Sam would interro-
gate her about these tales, but
Molly invariably had an en-
tirely different version and.
while he was at first annoyed
by her lies, Sam discovered that
she believed them herself and
became greatly interested in her
as remarkable liar.
One night he walked into a
restaurant and saw Molly with
a fellow by the name OF Ben
and nodded to her and she
nodded back but VIII IN Sam
later taxed Molly with going
around with Ben she said she
had not seen Ben in months and
that Sam must have mistaken
her for some other girl who
looked like her and she put so
much sincerity into her lie and
so. plainly believed it herself
that Sam believed it, too, though
he knew she was lying.
nUR old man said that was
" when Sam called him in 10
help write the book. He said
before they could get il finished,
however, Molly sued Sam for
divorce and got it, though Sam
bitterly contested the action on
the ground that she was in
valuable TO his future happiness
and prosperity, not as a wife
but as a wonderful liar.
Our old man said Sam
eventually got married again
but that his second wife was
one who tried 10 support her
lies not with the sincerity Of
her own belief in them but with
tears. Our old man said that
kind was most boring.

Good Posture Supplements
The Exercise Program
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

a SCATTERING of exercise
to improve your figure is of lit
tie avail unless backed up with
perfect posture. Your posture
is your figure. practically.
If your posture is bad, your
figure is worse. When you stand
in slumped position with
tunmy protruding and an ex-
aggerated incurve at the small
of the back. the weight of the
organs is thrown against the
muscles. Even with a fairly
strong muscular girdle you
couldn't have a lovely figure be-
cause you are of balance and
your bones are not in position
TO help support you.
Good Posture
First. get the feel OF good
posture. That will help you 10
establish good posture habits.
One way TO line up is TO stand
with your back against the wall,
head. shoulders and hips touch
ing the wall. and the abdominal
muscles pulled up.
All right. push away with the
back of your head and as you
walk of point the toes straight
forward. Always keep your head
up. chin level. and the line at
the back of the neck straight.
