FEMINIZED MEN
Have soft hats, silk stockings,
pearl -colored, spats, lilac pajamas and
embroidered bathrobes caused the
disappearance of the he-man in real
life, leaving his only survivor in the
hands of western movie actors for
interpretations? Is the condition
called "Americanitis" a product of
too much hurry and bustle, causing
an excessive number of deaths be
tween the ages of 40 and 50? The
newspapers record the answers that
have been made.
Dr. Charles Gray Shaw, of the
University of New York, is respon
sible for the charge that the he-man
is slipping out of the picture. "We
know," concedes The Columbia Rec
ord, "that the man is inclined to be
domestic. Modern men marry for
the sake of a home, with its dog,
radio set or canned music box, while
women approach the wedded state
with the idea of getting a compan
ion or a lover. Men used to pay the

On the other hand, there is noth-j
ing in history or in modern exam-;
pies of distinctly masculine types to
support the attack' upon modern j
man, according to The Atlanta Jour-
nal, which submits these facts:
"Well. Mr. James J. Corbett. Mr.
P.fMv Leonard and Mr. Jack Dem
jsey, if we are to judge by thelT pic-
tures, take great pride in personal
appearance, but we are yet to be
convinced that any of these worthies
is suffering from feminization. In
truth, Cecrge Washington, Napole
on, the Duke of Wellington and oth
er notable of the long ago were much
fonder and more addicted to ruffles
and laces, satins and silks than any
of the present generation. The mod

A NEW FREAK
Hon Henry St. George Tucker is
swayed by the tradition of his grand
father's action a century ago, and.
perhars, bv the dictates of his own
conscience, in refusing to accept the

substantial raise in salary of con -
gressmen. Of course, Mr. Tucker)
wouldn't for a moment regard such
action on his part as a mighty clev-
er stroke of advertising and a pretty
bit of politics! Perish the thought!
Tucker comes from a different stripe
of Virginia gentleman the tort
,of uo,o r,f tvoc,-
and Jefferson in those dear, dear
days when the office sought the man
and not the man the office.
But for all that, unfortunately,
Mr. Tucker's extreme mortification
and resentment in havinc tbe cov-1
ernment thrust this extra money up
on him somehow gets duly chroni
cled. In all probability he has made
speeches in his own district giving
in detail the reasons why he couldn't
conscientiously accept this money,
neither could he turn it over to

It is a touching 6tory. It might
have been left untold. But with a
scarcity of that particular sort of

A GOOD RULE FOR SUCCESS
One of the characteristics of the
American people is their fatuous be
lief in arbitrary rules for attaining
success. Several of our national mag
azines have attained large circula

worship of fetiches for success. But
after reading them and giving due
consideration to their prescription
we doubt if they have ever evolved a

attain success for himself.

BALANCED gasoline
WHATEVER kind of automobile you drive, take
gasoline seriously. On its quality depend the re
sponsiveness of your motor, car-mileage per gallon, freedom
from carbon and from harmful dilution of motor oil with
unburned gasoline.
Red Crown the balanced gasoline is built to meet
exactly the requirements of modern motors. It has the right
oroportion of low boiling point fractions for instant ignition
and quick starting. It also has the heavier fractions that
burn more slowly and keep up pressure to the1 end of the
piston stroke.
Red Crown is uniform and dependable wherever you buy
it and can be relied on to get the most power out of your
engine and take you the longest distance per gallon. You
can't buy a cleaner-burning, more economical and satisfac
tory gasoline for year-around use.
Next time you need gasoline, do as motor-wise Nebras
kans have done for many yesxs. Pull into the nearest Red
Crown Service Station. You will receive prompt attention
and obliging service, together with full measure of uniform,
high efficiency gasoline and raotor oil that provides protec
tive lubrication.
