THE TROUBLE WITH MEN
TODAY IS"

Since it is generally conceded that
women have the last word" UNI
der any and all conditions, The
Western News this week gives Lib
by women the opportunity to speak
the last word in answer to last
weeks published opinions of local
men on the topic THE Trouble With
Women Today Is"
1t is reported, that local women
voiced volumes of interesting state
rments on The Trouble With Men
To-day at their bridge parties,
over the backyard fence and via the
telephone but some evidently feared
that their last words in this matter
might become famous last words
and hence would not utter one lone

Another bright young matron
said she would not be SO inconsid-

One pert and pretty little brown
eyed miss said she found mems
overwhelming vanity the hardest
of all masculine faults to tolerate
Also she resented the attitude that
men want women to be independ-
| ent where. how and when it con-
veniences them and yet they do not
want women to reap any of the
benefits of independence. "

up their discussion of the subject
with God bless the men, we love
them all
Men are so stupid in that they
never. stop TO think that their stand
on a question could be wrong

understand women and don't really

They're too aWfully conceited"
said a school teacher Il don't think
they should be permitted to be so
absent minded; Men are much
worse gossipers than women--they
don't draw any limits and don't ep-
en- bother TO add the good old fem
mime caution, Now, don't tell any

the cheating attitude that they can

and family and yet retain all the
privileges Of bachelorhood" and II

egitimately and otherwise.
