Show I 1 Howe About- 3r ED HOWE 1 1 . Bell Syndicate. WNU Bervlc. In a recent cartoon a number of men are shown arriving at a resort to have a "good time." Only one man brings his wife; ail the others jeer at him because his wife Is along. This note is seen in pictures and print every day. Who Is to blame? Wives or husbands? The impression is given that wives are wet blankets. Is it the fault of wives? Or are husbands so low the presence of good women spoil their fun? Do women spoil the "good times" of men by nagging, or do husbands Just naturally find wives annoying. An unusual writer has lust appeared: ap-peared: he frankly confesses he does iioi believe the world will ever be rid of poverty, crime, ignorance, misery mis-ery and nil aimers. Most of the good gentlemen are working to get rid of all these, and think success is almost within sight There is actually no sucb thing as equality except In constitutions and other scraps of paper. The burdens of men are steadily growing heavier: the women are becoming be-coming more unmanageable and expensive ex-pensive and so are the children. - Accept the leadership of no one man unreservedly. However wise a man may be. be cannot know it all; other men know a little. Accept truth here and there, first trying it out carefully in your own laboratory. How the world progresses I . . . See that you progress and have some part in the big tilings being accomplished. accom-plished. To progress is the natural way; the steady growth of the world proves it. a- It a man has a wife who doesn't perform very well, the women say: "Isn't it too had he didn t get a good one?" And usuaHy they have one picked out for him. Usually he has, too. iv- it a- An old medical man I know says doctors are not much needed, except surgeons. And this man is not a surgeon. sur-geon. He further says that nine out of ten cases of illness are due to improper im-proper diet, and might be cured by fasting and less and more proper food thereafter. "The few wonders in my profession." the doctor says, "are accomplished ac-complished not with medicine, but with surgery." I do not like certain things. What are my rights when 1 come in contact con-tact with them? Should I sneer, attack, at-tack, lly into a rage, or get away from them as soon as possible, remembering remember-ing that I annoy others? There are certain womanly qualities quali-ties so admirable that the world has long agreed in admiration. I wonder that so many flappers in politics and social life depart from them, and take the risk. I never knew a foolish person who did not endeavor to frequently give l lie impression that he was a real thinker, and that real thinkers are exceedingly ex-ceedingly scarce. I'm not grumbling at public affairs: I'm looking at them. I am grateful to the few who like me, and endeavor to be agreeable, that 1 may not lose their favor. There are certain types of men I know will not like me; and they will misrepresent me; every one Is a liar in speaking of those he does not like. So I am not annoyed because of their misrepresentations: misrepre-sentations: I know it is one of the natural things, and natural things we must respect.
