MASCULINITY TURNS Hemmed in on all sides by their women folk, men are making a last desperate effort to preserve their rights. In the midst of the skirted hordes a little masculine flurry is observable centering around a barber pole. It marks the final stand of beleaguered males at a mod- ern Thermopylae. These men will return victorious or be born: on their shields. He who runs may read the signs and portents. Here and there harbers, heeding the protests of their mas- culine patrons against usurpation of chairs by women, are hanging out signs reading “For Men Only.” Bar- bers explain that feminine customers bother the men | who come oftener and spend more. Women have invaded men’s clubs. They have made their way into business, public office and politics. At the entrance of the last sanctuary, the barber shop, men have taken a final stand, shouting their battle ery: “They shall not pass!” The Basis of Prosperity An indication of the solid basis on which American | industrial supremacy rests is found in the current Out- line of Business, published by the Central National Bank of Cleveland. In 1928, it is shown, American steel mills produced ap- proximately 49,800,000 long tons of steel. In the same year German mills produced 14,300,000 tons, French mills turned out 9,200,000 tons and British mills pro- duced 8,500,000 tons. Thus American production topped the combined pro- ductign of the three other leading steel-producing coun- tries by nearly 18,000 tons. Since steel is the essential commodity in the indus- trial life of a nation, this indicates clearly the solidity of the American industrial position. vantages that come from concerted effort to work with his fellows. rom the ‘first it has been apparent that the success | of the new farm relief plan wo almost en-| tirely on the degree to which fa could be induced | to work together.

There is a significance to this th confines of the sent farm depre mn. For we are) seeing a final assault on one of the last strongholds of A long epoch is coming to an end. ‘y of modern civilization is nothing more s than the story of the decline of individualism. As| the world has grown smaller and each man has been | brought into closer contact with his neighbors. the race has found cooperation forced upon it. In spite of them- selves, people have been compelled to watch what their neighbors are doing and guide their own actions accord | ingly. | This tendency has gone a long way in most fields. The ‘workingman can never act as an indi Hie bands himself into unions and blends his o is With the aims of his coworkers. Similarly, no manufacturer can | play a lone hand. He has to join trade associations, base his activities on the acti les of widely scattered men, take into account dozens of happenings that he would not, formerly, have thought of any meaning to him. The farmer, however, has maintained his independ- ence. He has kept the freedom that the farmer always hac; freedom to run things on his own property exactly | ‘as he pleased, without paying any attention to what other farmers were doing. And—in the opinion of the farm board—it is precisely this independence, handed down from the very dawn of civilization, that has at last got him into trouble. Independence and freedom, as a matter of fact. are words that we shall have to look on in a new light. If we think of them in their old meaning, as giving us the right to do exactly as we please. without regard for the way our actions affect others or the way others’ ac- tions affect us, we might as well admit that we have lost them forever. No man, in this modern age, can hope to live for himself alone. There is a deeper sense, however, in which freedom and independence are ours now more than ever before. A man’s real life isn't his job. It’s his home and his friends and his recreation, and what goes on inside of him. And this cra of cooperation, cutting down our freedom of action in one field, is making us freer than ever in this one. PRECOCIOUS YOUTH Tt is going a bit further than is necessary to assert that the faults of the younger generation are not to be blamed on youth alone. Though that charge is some- times heard, it is a fact that the older generation is not waging aggressive war against the younger. They are conducting a moderate, almost apologetic, defensive. All they ask is that the “faults” of the younger genera- tion shall not be entirely ascried to the older genera- tion, which is the normal procedure. Sound reasons for the so-called discontent among modern youth are cited. ‘The disillusionment following upon a World war, for which the older generation must be held chiefly responsible, because it was in charge of the world, is real. And yet in this matter of the World ‘war something of the responsibility rests on young shoul- @ers; if not young men and women, then young nations, The gzeat catastrophe was not immediately precipi- tated by the big nations, but by the little nations eager or their own place in the sun. The match was lighted in the Balkans, where the ambitions of a half dozen little Peoples clashed. The principal mistakes and “crimes” alleged against the peace settlements do not lie against the big nations. The territorial settlements most often questioned are those benefiting the little nations—Servia, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Poland. Present uncertainties @re connected chiefly with the large brood of infant re- goes beyond the At that many a man’s instincts are more reliable than his so-called judgment. It is wise to find out what @ man is likely to do before stirring him to action. An easy way to make a friend is to tell someone he werks too hard. Married men are said to work harder; single ones say they have to. One accessory on his car man never boasts about is ; the mortgage. The greatness of leaders is one part ability and nine parts followers. Laughing yourself to death is better than worrying your head off. Lots of them are fine cooks if you can live on salads and fudge. The turn-over value isn’t much if there is a ditch there. An ignorant youth is one who neither knows how to harness @ horse nor shift gears. Hair restorers being sold now really restore hair. ac- cording to a beauty adviser.

The num- ber in 1928 was 27,500. Statistics collected since the first of the year indicate an increase of 10 per cent in 1929. Periodically the department of commerce publishes re- ports from 78 cities with a population of about 33,000,000. These are cities in which traffic rules are supposed to be rigidly enforced. In the fifty-two weeks ending July 13 there was in the 78 cities named by the department of commerce an increase of 734 fatalities over the corre- sponding period in 1927-28. Many more cars and trucks and faster driving (up to sixty miles an hour) would account for increasing casual- ties, unless there was improvement in the skill and care- fulness of drivers. Unfortunately, the average driver likes to drive fast, and does not always have his car under control in emergencies. Three Good Wives in 10 «Woman's Home Companion) Man’s chances of picking a good home-making wife are three in 10, according to a survey into five classes: Home-making or ideal type, 30 per cent; jazz, “can opener” type, 20 per cent; nagging type, 15 per cent; drudge type, 20 per cent; baby doll type, 15 per cent. A writer citing the figures, summed up the faults of wives in four of the classes, declaring that they enjoy Poor health; they are alwas tired; they are forever fin- ishing the dishes; they have the children always around; they contract the kimono habit; they go in for delicates- sen meals; they are always picking things up; they fill the house with relatives; they don't get around to tidying 1 i} Secure OLD GUST 12, 1929 A Change for the Better | ‘ \ NEVER, OD FEEL \N THAT NEST, Ye little sardines and suffering cats —the permanent wave craze is reach- ing out even unto the babies and suck- lings!

She thought ‘as grand, for her nut-brown head was as like to her mother's and aunt's and every female adult she knew as one pea in the same pod could be like another. The medieval page effect of glossy brown hair fitting her round little head like a casque with smart bangs kitty-korner over her white forehead had given way to the electric frizz known as “permanent wave.” “It would be better in a day or so,” she explained, passing on the word of the “operator” who had kept her in a ing her head into this heathenish ef- fect. “The first finger wave never stayed put,” she explained.

This is more than a diatribe against the so immediate blending of child- hood and maturity that there is no gap; with bangs merging into perma- nent waves. It is a little dissertation on that thing called beauty. Each decade has its standard. To- day’s standard calls for permanent waves. The old - fashiot girl who stubbornly clung to her glossy straight hai nd insisted that she liked it bet an curls, that it was “more individual,” is slowly yielding to the blandishments of the perma- nent machine owner. He laughs at her hesitation. whole business is so different in this era of finger waving, he tells her. One can’t make a mistake; who isn’t im- proved by curling locks?

Even he quailed a bit when the mechanism came off and my hair ap- peared. “It’s always like that at first,” he said.

They are young and they want to grow, often unreasonably. Young nations, like young people, glorify their own importance. They are nationalistic to excess and place their own destiny and welfare before that of the rest of the world. And all the world can do is to be patiently tolerant until they grow up.

A cantaloupe is a special kind of melon which was de- veloped in the city of Cantaloupe, Italy. The watermelon, which was cultivated by the Egyptians, is rel- ished by the natives during the hot months. The Negro race, whose nat- ural home seems to be in Africa, is noted for its fondness for this de- licious fruit of the vine. Watermelon is one of the largest of our fruits. Sometimes it weighs as much as forty pounds. Only the in- side, rose-colored pulp is eaten, which has a sweetish flavor, having a sugar content of over six pey cent, the rest being over 92 per cent water, with a small amount of protein, fat and min- eral matter. Muskmelon or cantaloupe is more a native of hot climates. The flavor and odor are possibly more delicate than even that of the watermelon. In America, the watermelon was cutivated by the Indians as early as 1584. Sir Walter Raleigh reported this fact. The southern states are important commercial growers of melons, but the largest crop in America is pro- duced by California. Last year the value of the melon crop from Imperial Valley and other sections of Cali- fornia was over ten and a half mil- lion dollars, while Rocky Ford, Colo- rado, the home of the Rocky Ford can- taloupe, and Arizona each produced only about three thousand carloads compared to thirteen thousand car- loads from the Imperial Valley, alone. A great value to the use of melons comes from the fact that they afford so much natural water in its purest form. Melons when taken as a cooling food should best be taken alone and not with a meal. Many people com- plain of having a good deal of stom- ach and intenal gas after eating melons, but this is seldom noticed if the melons are used as a meal and not in addition to a meal containing many | other food products. An enjoyable luncheon may be had during the sum- mer months by using cantaloupes a la mode for the noon meal, This is a loupe in half, cleaning out the seeds, and filling the center with some kind of ice cream. In some restaurants, an egg meringue is put over this dish and the cantaloupe baked for only a few seconds under the broiler in order to brown the meringue. When buying melons it is well to choose those that seem to have a firm, ripe flesh. They should never be eaten in an unripe or over-ripe state, as a certain mild poisoning is often SAUCE FOR THE GANDER (By Alice Judson Peale) It was the second time that moth- cr had found a pack of cigarets in the cubby hole of Harry’s desk. She confronted him with the evidence. “I found these in your desk. You ‘ought to be ashamed of yourself!” “I don’t see why,” he replied. “Dad smokes three or four packs a day. I heard him tell you so the other evening. And I've seen you do it, too, lots of times, when the Watsons come over to play bridge. If there’s anything wicked about it why do you do it?” “What your father and I do has nothing to do with you. You are a child, You are only 13, and I won't have you smoking till you.are 18 jat least. It’s bad for you, and I won't permit it.” “Well, I don’t sce the point. If it's bad for me, it’s bad for you. I’m no baby any more, you know. I only smoke a little and you smoke a whole lot.” To this, Harry’s mother could not, at the moment, discover any very reasonable reply, so she contented herself with ‘the last resort of par- ents, a flat prohibition, knowing! even as she spoke that it would be ineffective. x You can’t expect your growing sons and daughters not to follow/ your example in the matter of in- dulgences.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hernia Question: J. H. writes: “I have a lump in right flank that came there this week—about as big as a hen’s egg. Goes back in abdomen and then comes out. Can you tell me what it is and what to do to get rid of it?” Answer: You are probably de- veloping a hernia and if so you should be wearing the proper kind of support to keep the lump in place while you develop your abdominal muscles through exercising. As soon as the muscles are strong enough to hold the peritoneum in place the trouble will be cured. Cut down on the quan- tity of food you are using so the ab- domen does not protrude, and avoid all gassy foods. Stomach Ulcer Question: Mrs. W. D. B. asks: “What kind of vegetables, meats, fruits and pastries can one eat who has an ulcer of the stomach and in- testinal gas? Will the same diet cor- rect constipation?” Answer:, If you really have an ul- cer of the stomach, milk is the only food you should be using until ail signs of the ulcer disappear. Then your diet should con: of well bal- anced combinations, such as I rec. ommend in my weekly health menus. The same kind of foods properly used’ will correct constipation. Cracking in Neck Question: Ellen asks: “Will you. please teil me the cause of cracking (like Answer: The ‘acking noise is caused by ligament: pping back in- to their proper places. This is because the ligaments are either too short or too long. They become short be- cause of the contraction of muscles, and too long because of straining, such as holding the head in a faulty position. Persistent exercise of the neck muscles will correct the trouble. (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.) afternoon to her work in St. Joseph's hospital, St. Paul. ‘ Mrs, A. D.
