PHONE 314 f" Plattsmouth, Nebraska 4 Call at my Expense X THEY D0NT TELL A writer in one' of the current magazines says one thing that has held the race back in its quest for information is the experience and the abilrty to tell have been so rarely combined in one persons. Take woman, for instance. There is a study which you would think man would have mastered dur ing the long maelstrom of centuries devoted to it. What do we find? The men who have the widest ex perience in associating with the sex have generally carried said experi onro close locked in their own breasts to, the grave. While doctrinaries. bookish re cluses like Carlyle or Schopenhauer or Nietzsche, men who, in the very nature of things, could have known just nothing about them, have been ever ready to rush into print with analyses of their way and nature. Take Brigham Young for a bril liant illustrator. Now there was a man who could have written something worth while something that posterity could have cherished. Or Henry VIII. Even Solomon, while he made some fitting remarks aoout some types of his day, didn't write nearly so voluminously as his intensive ex perience with them might well have warranted. Same way with women " and her study of man. What would not a treatise from the hand of Cleopatra be worth? Or Catherine of Russia? Or Mary, .Queen of Scots? :o: SOMETHING NEW We clip the following from the so ciety page of a Chicago newspaper: "Mr. and Mrs. re quest the honor of your pres ence at the College Inn at eight on the evening of Friday, Feb ruary 16th, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three, in honor of their separation. "Dancing and supper at mid night." This is the very latest thing in parties, and we would really like to attend one, just fo see the modus operandi. Probably the husband and wife tand under an arch, and instead of ceremony, the groom tells the preacher that the orange blossoms grew a lemon. After this the couple stand on a dias while receiving the congratula tions of other married people pres ent. Instead of a ring bearer, it would be eminently fitting for a wife to have a gunbearer, carrying two pis tols on a silver salver. One of the reasons why so many husbands are missing nowadays is that wives never miss. If your wife takes up target practice, it is time for you to take your departure. Getting back to these separation parties, it would be eminently fit ting for the wife to wear anything she likes, but the husband ought to be attired in a bullet-proof vest and a coat of mail. Just after the separation ceremony the orchestra should play "All By Ms'self." After the celebration Is end ed both should issue "Not at Home" cards. -:o:- HELPING OUR HELPERS A recent orderof the federal gov ernment requires rural mail carriers to distribute grain along their routes for hungry birds when the feed is provided. People like to think of thir govern ment, big and powerful as it is, as not too big or too busy to be kind to the Triendless. A 'government that gives thought to cold and hungry birds must have a heart which is in a way no less important than hav ing an army and navy. In a large sense, however, feeding the birds is not a small errand. We pass laws, federal and state, to stop their indiscriminate slaughter. A plentitude of birds is recognized as essential to successful agriculture. If birds are worth protecting by statute for the good they do, they are cer tainly worth feeding when winter closes their pantries. We hope that rural carriers will accept their instructions from Wash ington in the spirit intended and that plenty of grain will be furnish ed them for distribution. Every rural mail route a native bird paradise! :o: - No man can live happily who re gards himself alone who turns ev erything to his own advantage. Go forth into the busy world and love it; interest yourself in Its life; min gle kindly in Its joys and sorrows; try what you can do for men rather than for what you can do them for and you will know what it is to have men yours better than if you were their king and master. -:o:- Let me explain my long time laud bank loan.

JOTTimAI, FACING DEATH A 19-year-old girl invalid in New York, faced with the unpleasant ne cessity of death In a short time, wrote a letter to a New Y&rk paper stating her craving for just one week of good times before she died. As it pays to advertise, even in such a pe culiar matter as this, her wish has been granted and she will be the guest of a newspaper cartoonist for one hilarious week ere she returns to her small town to await the reap er's summons. Strange that persons onthe brink of the beyond always wish for such puerile things. In this case the youth of the sufferer and the years of pain that had cheated her out of the usual round of amusements of American girlhood offer a reason for the wish But older people of wider experience generally express a craving for equally absurd experiences "fcr pos sessions when they know for a cer tainty that their early days are num bered. Wardens of prisons tell us that condemned men usually chose an elaborate dinner or breakfast just be fore their executions, when the nor mal persons would suppose that they would have no appetite at all. Many sober souls have been start ed on careers of great frivolity after having been informed that they had an appointment with St. Peter in the near future. They shed tears of righteousness and having such they must make up for lost and depart with a splash. In books the man or woman faced with death seeks solace in religion or philosophy. But in real life a large per cent of them merely crave more violently for rich food and festive times. How often one hears people remark, "If I knew I were hot going to live I'd stop saving money and have a good time." It is very for tunate for our heirs that we live in ignorance of the date of our depar ture from this mundane sphere. :o: : - AGE MUST BE SERVED Instances of a government's going nto the counterfeiting business are rare, but that is what hardup Aus tria did a little while ago when she flooded the stamp-collecting market with reprints of some rare issues of bygone days. Of course the collectors who had paid good round sums for the bonafide remnants of these is sues were naturally indignant, but other philatelists snapped up the bargains in new antique stamps. The postmaster, seeing that the venture was a financial success, is undeterred by protests, and Is going ahead with other issues of stamps that will sell for more than face value because they are counterfeits of philatelic curios. Not infrequently in the past, small nations have turned out special is sues of stamps as a revenue raising measure, but, so far as .we know, the Austrian episode is the first time a government has counterfeited its own issues of earlier day. - But the love for age must be serv ed. If you want an antique, modern ngenuity will see that you get it. provided you have the price. Th trick of shooting up new furniture with buckshot to give it an ancient worm-eaten appearance will soon go into discard probably, for real worm eaten furniture can now be produced on short notice. An enterprising French gardener has found out that certain worms that bore trees can be turned into a furniture factory and work at board wages for making new pieces into antiques. All that is need ed is to starve the worms a little and they will eat into a Louis Quinze cabinet, made' in the twentieth cen tury, with as much avidity as they attacked a monarch of the forest. SCENTS FOR WOMEN One of the poets urges the. use of perfumes to express personality, to bear the message of the individual and to carry thought of the occasion. He says that a soulful maiden will have one perfume for her negligee and another for chinchilla. He inti mates further that events should be emphasized by their fragrance. Just as the languorous scent of orange blossoms marks the procession to the hymeneal altar, so should the fra grance of the rose bear the message of budding love. We should have set perfume3 for our funerals, our po- itical meetings and our social func tions. The hostess would be known by the aroma she exhaled. If it is a home brew party the pungent hint of hops should be in the air. This seems to be a lovely idea, but perhaps the poet has merely been catching up on the language vjf flowers. If a wom an is going to change her perfume every time 6he changes her mind she would probably compromise on one of these blends that carry the fra grance of a Persian garden. It would. be fine if the belated, husband knew what sort of welcome awaited his nome coming by the tahg of the in cense with which the air was freighted. - One of the country's eminent pul pit orators how complains . that America Is a lawless nation. How does he get that idea in his head? We have at hand a list of more than 70, 000 laws that have been passed by congress and various state legisla tures within recent years. We are so far from being -a lawless nation that we have more "thou shalt nots" than any other country on the face of the globe. :o: ; A Methodist minister Is running for mayor In Joe Cannon's home town. Now that Uncle Joe is leaving Washington at the age of 87 he may have to settle down and cut out pok er. The preacher will not even stand for a game of dominoes.

Wescott wafted through the air from Omaha recently, it brought' to them a deeper realization of the greatest invention of the age. But, to hear the music of former Platts mouth boss, Claire, Cecil and Iler shel Thomas, of Long Beach, Cali fornia, was the great pleasure of a number of local listeners-in last night on the program of the Los An geles Times. This music, coming from a distance of 1,200 miles, was heard clearly on local one and two tube sets and is a marked revelation of the latent possibilities of radio. The boys, who are sons of Walter L. Thomas and members of the Thomas Auto Co., Studebker agents at Long Beach, also jazz wicked saxa phones in the "Studebaker 6," an all saxaphone musical organization that is well known on the coast and which compares favorable with the Six Brown Brothers and Dr. Waeron- er's famous Ak-Sar-Ben Sextette.
