Probably the elemental cause for this is that these virtues are offshoots of the primal law of nature—the law of generation, of creature creation by association, of sacrifice for the young | and the weak that the race may en- dure. Probably the weaknesses of modern civilizations will be found solely in those things that make men and wo- men solecisms, and probabty the strength of society persists in those elemental associations—the family, the church, the school, the lodge, the club. The tendency of higher civilizations is to breed bachelors and _ spinsters. When such a civilization breeds enough of these it dies, and some simpler, more natural, less sophisticated and warmer hearted society replaces it.

STAR It’s the Man’s Burden BY FRED L. BOALT “Both my boshand and I may go down In this smash, But ‘Jimmy’ Stillman will stay down. 1 will be able to live in the United Staten, He won't.” —Mrs, James A. Stillman’ I am sufficiently old-fashioned to hope the woman is right. Stillman is not playing the game in the “gentle- manly” way. A “gentleman”—I do not like the word, but the sympathetic reader will know what I mean by it-— does not sue for divorce. Certainly he does not employ detectives to spy upon the woman who bears his name, to prove her faith- less, and lawyers to grill and torture her upon the witness stand. Rather, a “gentleman” who has agreed with his wife to disagree says to her: “You bring the suit, on whatever grounds you please. I will not contest.” “Gentlemen” pursue this course because of an in- stinctive feeling of chivalry toward all women. In theory woman can do no wrong. If she sins, we look to her husband not to emphasize the sin, but to conceal all that is possible from the public gaze. If he does not do this, publie opinion, properly, will be against him. eee 1 have in mind a man who & the kind of a “gentleman” that Atiitman is not I knew this man and his wife when I was a young man.

We believe that no other make of tire has so many dealers now concentrating on a single line as United States Tires, And there are hundreds of new dealers coming to U.S. Tires every month, The makers of United States Tires assure to their dealers—and the publicthey serve—the highest quality products at fair prices, with a merchandising policy that is always consistent, construc tive and making for stability.
