How Wise Men Are! How Silly Women Are! DITOR The Star; I am so tired of listening to the men folks holding meetings of their Mutual Ad- Miration society, The order of business is (1) How Wise Men Are, and (2) How Silly Women Are. Having better manners than the males, I do not ) Argue personalities. But once for all, want to say My say about those who, tho they have one foot in the grave, still fatuously pursue the flapper. Who is so susceptible to flattery that he can be worked for most of his money by these inferior mentalities? Whose reason can be so reduced that 12 massive male minds will acquit one pretty face for murdering Fi one of their kind? Who possesses characters of such frailty that the world is flooded with advice to wives as to how to "hold the affection of these fluctuating creatures? ~ Who has wrecked a prosperous world by inability - to manage civil and foreign affairs?—Men, 4 What has been the history of the human race ‘| under the guidance of men, both ancient and modern? War, war, war. And since the last great conflict, have men proved themselves shining lights at improving conditions? The peace conference was a pathetic failure. The > stupidities of the allies in dealing with Russia spread bolshevism in that country. Have Englishmen evinced intelligence in de. ) with Ireland? > Look at Europe. Her affairs are in an awful tangle, | with grim war peering over the horizon. Was our own man-managed legislature much brag about? The marvelous male has never been able to devise @ system whereby all people may enjoy the necessi- ties of life. Illiterates are increasing, crime is flour- » ishing, discontent and unrest is prevalent, due to our Totten political fabric, fashioned by the hand of mod- ern man.

The little Insecta known an flea-beetlos are very fond of eggplant leavon. When the grower notices his plants looking thin and sickly, he may find that the under aldes of the leaves are eaten away and there are numerous small holes clear thru the leaves, Dusting the plants with alr- slacked Itme in reasonably ef- fective in driving these bettles away.

The plants should be handled in about the same way aa tomato plants and will withstand about the same degree of exposure.

TOMORROW: Why eucum hers should not be grown Ti tho small garden, Hers nareayenepmanic ti SEATTI | STAR A letter that is interesting for three reasons ERE is a letter from a woman who has put floors of Armstrong's Linoleum in her house. As you read it, you will note three things of interest: eves Dear Sirs: Jane 18,1 I wish to thank you for the great help you have been to me in making my house a home. | had no idea linoleum could be 80 attractive, I wish your book on Home Decoration could be read by every housewife in the United States I have bought from Maas Brothers, Tampa, Florida, the linoleum you te gested for my two baths, sleeping pore and kitchen—the blue Jaspé is beautiful. Since buying this linoleum I have de- cided to use pamaend Linoleum in my sun room. I should like you to suggest something that would make this room very attractive. Enclosed is rough sketch of our new house. Walls rough stucco like house. Am having walls of the sun room painted a flat tone bright sage green. In the center is to be « fountain of ce- ment. Floor at present is cement, but 1 expect to place linoleum over it. I know this room can be made beauti- ful, therefore I am appealing to you to suggest anything you can to help me make it a little unusual, Thanking you again, | am Sincerely yours, (Name on request) Frostproof, Florida In the first two paragraphs there is an under- current of mild, pleased surprise that linoleum floors should have proved so satisfactory She liked them caer than she had expected to—a very comfortable feeling to have after mak- ing any purchase. Nes you will note that she has decided to put down more linoleum floors. Also, she is enlisting the service of our Depart- ment of Interior Decoration for suggestions as to color harmony and the securing of a certain effect. Typical of many letters This letter is typical of many we receive. More and more women are turning to linoleum for floors. Some houses are being built in which floors of Armstrong's Linoleum are specified for every room, And again and again letters come from women, saying they “had no idea” linoleum would look so well and be so easy to take care of. There is every reason why a floor of linoleum should be satisfactory. The wealth of colors and patterns in which Armstrong’s Linoleum is made ives full opportunity for beautiful effects cither Faghe and colorful, or quiet and subdued.
