When One Wants a Wife Women who advertise for husbands, 238, Men adver- ‘ tising for wives, 68. That's how the ads run in a rec- ord issue of the largest matrimonial paper published, It’s not difficult to understand why the women out- number the men three and a half to one. Women are handicapped by convention. They are the sit-back-and- waiters. Men, unrestrained, are the go-getters. (T heo- Yetically, at any rate.) i A man who would take unto himself a wife can look them over and arrange an introduction—if one is neces- sary. But a woman can’t walk up to a man, object, matrimony. fea 9 Women who advertise in the papers published by matrimonial bureaus naturally “talk up” their charms as selling points—facial beauty, form, disposition, popular- ity, sympathetic instinct. The men, in their ads, do their heavy talking about the | money they have and their prospects. In short, their 5 ability to be a “good provider.” ; : It’s the old cave-man system: “Come with me, fair damsel, I have a rain-proof cave, a nice warm fire, and I can fetch in plenty of meat and lick all comers.” E ‘5a ce, Here's a typical ad by a man seeking a mate, the ad- yertiser’s address somewhere in New Jersey: Girls, I'm looking for a nice, clean, thrifty little wife. Am an American, ex-soldier, age 32, height 6 f@et, weight 160, dark hair and eyes, pleasing appearance, good character, healthy, never married. Have money and city property to the value of $20,000. Prefer maidens, age 18 to 22; no widows or big Another advertiser tells applicants to enclose church or bank references. As a special inducement, to ensure his having a wide selection, he promises: “50 gold slug for ' best letter, $20 gold for next and $10 for third.” This business-like gent hails from Nevada. Few of the male advertisers seem to think they are ex- ceptionally handsome. Or, if they do, they play safe by reserving that talking point for the clinging argument la- ter. Only one in 20 publishes his picture. “Curiously enough, most of these lonesome males an- nounce that they are broad-minded, generous disposition, or “deep thinker’—whatever that means. Is all this typical of the average man seeking a mate? Does it reveal the masculine qualities or traits that men _ think are most enticing to the fair sex? Business is getting better everywhere. - A New York cafe was robbed three times last month. | Man who married last June to be master in his house tells us he is only paymaster now. Men are known by the company they keep; women by the clothes they keep on wearing. Women are vain, but barbers’ mirrors see some funny sights. We have bathing suit censors. Why not divorce censors? Bathing Suits and Bathing Beauties _ Kach recurring summer season brings forth for consid- eration and discussion the all-absorbing question regard- ing the proper architecture of bathing suits for women. ‘The season at hand is no different from the others and the debate is on, from Asbury Park, where the female ' form divine is draped in coveralls, to Fort Worth, Texas, _ where indecision has given birth to a controversy whose temperature is sultry. The park superintendent of the latter city felt the warmth _ of the debate. He knew that bathing beauties added much or little, as the case might be, to the scenic values of a park. Also did he know that it was up to him to view all the arguments and the local bathers, from every angle, in or- der that he might be righteously just. Bare necessity de- manded that within his jurisdiction he decide between the Tevealing one-piece and the concealing other kind. He cudgeled his brain. Then came his ukase—something similar to the Seattle edict. All Fort Worth bathing beau- ties must garb themselves in suits “having some sem- blance of skirts.” Could Solomon have beaten it? Or Socrates? We guess not. Could a compromise between the daughters who employed hickory limbs and those who did not be more finely drawn? Impossible—quite, But what is the semblance of a skirt? fie? Or an austere waistband? safety pin? What and which? The park superintendent having spoken, the matter now seems to be up to the Fort Worth bathing beauties, No doubt all eyes are on them. Having consulted Web. ster as to the meaning of the word “semblance,” they will _ find a way to chastely array themselves. And it will be worth while to stick around and see them ag they disport in their “‘semblances,” if for no other reason. j Pee NOCAIOTT a Always drop some change in the collection plate, you good.

HM, "The most Delicious Tea you can buy" . & H.C. COOK, WEST 4073, ELL.0350, DISTRIBUTORS Accurate records show the average life of all cars and trucks to be 5.3 years. Authorities estimate that this life can be extended at least 331/3% by perfected lubrication. Three important steps in securing perfected lubrication are: 1 Clean the crank * case every five hundred to one thou- sand miles and when changing from one brand of motor oil to another. Lubricate with *the correct grade of Cycol—the perfected motor oil —as shown on the Cycol Recommenda- tion Chart. 2 Flush the crank 3 case only with fresh lubricating oil —never with kero- sene or with so- called “flushing” oil. Cycol is the motor oil free from destructive “sulpho” com- pounds. The removal of these impurities enables Cycol to withstand terrific engine heat—retain its body and maintain an unbroken lubricating film between moving parts. Destructive “sulpho” compounds are removed by the new Hexeon process—the method by which Cycol is perfected. Thus Cycol has greater stability—great lubricating value— by every true test of motor oil efficiency.
