Men Have Bad Telephone
Manners, Girls Declare
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Why does a man who has given every sign of being
interested in a girl, sometimes turn against her when she telephones him? Is
it wrong to call a man at his office when you really want to talk to hint?
Can you see any objection to inviting a man to a dance or a dinner and tele
phoning the invitation if you have to give him short notice?
Half a dozen of us girls were exchanging experiences the other night,
and each of us had to recount some story of a fellow who had actually broken
friendship through his bad telephone manners.
We are all sick and tired of the men who think they are so important
that they can’t give a girl five minutes of their precious time when she tele
phones in the same friendjy spirit she would show another girl. If you will
take up this matter, be assured that you will have the grateful appreciation
of six girls who want to improve men’s manners.
Now it just happens that a well-known English economist and author,
-recently expressed himself as follows on the subject of telephones:
“At no time during the day can I rely on a quarter of an hour's uninter
rupted work. Any unconcentrated person who finds it easier to ring up
than send a postcard, any hostess making up her party, any tourist who
thinks he would like a few words with me, is entitled by the existing con
ventions, and is able, and at any hour, to Interrupt my business and attend
to theirs."
Do you six girls see how completely you are answered by Mr. J. M.
Keynes?
When the person who telephones has something vital to say, something
which needs the worker's attention, only a selfish and churlish person would
resent the call or be discourteous. The men who are rude to girls over the
telephone, are—in nine cases out of ten—using their only means of self
protection.
Hot Weather Tempers.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am so irrita
ble and cross all the time nowadays
that I don’t see how I’m going
through the summer without es
' tranging my relatives and friends.
I am a widow with three children
to support, the oldest of whom is 16
and able to look after the house dur
ing the vacation months. But even
with her at home to lighten my bur
dens somewhat I can hardly hold
myself together and be civil either to
my friends or to my office mates. I
cannot look forward to any change
or vacation, because I cannot afford
Dresher Brothers Run
Full Capacity Today
Men Worked All Night to Haul
Water—No Alibi* at
Dreiher*.
Dresher Brothers’ Dyeing and
Cleaning Plant is operating full
force today, according to a
statement given out by Mr. A. V.
Dresher this morning.
Sam Dresher and a number
of Dreshers’ employes were de
termined not to interfere with
prompt deliveries, even if they
did stay up all night last night
to do it.
Through the courtesy of Me.
J. E. Davidson of the Nebraska
Power Company, Dresh,ers were
offered water from the power
company’s own water system.
And, due to the generosity of
Mr. Bingle of the Shaeffer Oil
Company, who has loaned the
plant one of their big trucks, it
was made possible to run all of
the Dresher departments today.
“There are no alibis here,’’
Mr. Dresher says. “As far as be
ing able to carry on a capacity
volume of work is concerned,
Dreshers say, “Yes, we have
bananas.’’
it. I would not go away without tak
ing the children along, and I cannot
manage to give them anything more
than a day’s outing now and then.
I am earning enough to keep up a
decent little home and dress fairly
well, but I cannot have any of the
things I crave. I am 35 and can’t
make myself feel middle-aged or con
tented with my lot. Can you suggest
any way for me to get along without
an explosion such as might cost me
my job, make my children miserable
or cost me my last friend?
Perhaps this doesn't seem serious
to you, but it is driving me half
crazy. I hold on to myself and hold
on until I think I am going to scream.
I want to be amiable, but I am so
worn and hot and tired I don't know
how to fight my nerves. ISOBEL.
It is no easy task for any of us to
fight our nerves, especially when hot
weather makes our belief in them es
pecialiy clamorous and strident.
Yet which of us is willing to be at
the mercy of ’’nerves,” which of us
wants to be the victim of conditions?
None of us wishes to yield to the
things we ought to handle and con
quer, and yet most of us think we
must do just this.
I believe that every one of us is
entitled to control over himself and
the beliefs he entertains. Now when
you find an intruding belief in your
thought, why should you not refuse
to entertain it precisely as you would
decline to have as a guest in your
home some one you did not like?
Try to keep yourself friendly and
pleasant and peaceful and poised this
summer. Recognize that you do not
know what glorious surprises the
days and weeks may bring. Expect
good things to happen. Try to find
enjoyment in all that comes your
way—in work, wrell done, in words
kindly said, in growing knowledge of
your dominion over self. Your
amiability will bring you other gifts
—but in itself you will find it the
finest gift of all.
By the end of the summer you will
have grown so much in self-control
that you will find your months well
spent in building a disposition.

“My Husband’# Love”
The Way Katherine Leaped to the
Kmergenry.
The mother of a child over one
year old is generally like a well
trained fireman In her ability to
awaken from sleep and slide down
the pole without loss of time.
I had no knowledge of the mean
lng of the hoarse, strangled noise I
had just heard from my mother-in
law’s room—for I never had heard
anything Just like It—hut that it
meant Illness or danger for my small
son, I knew instinctively. And even
as I sprang from the bed, I thrust
my feet into my felt bedroom slip
pers, and snatching my bathrobe put
it on as I ran down the Corridor.
Swift as I was, however, Kath
erine reached niv mother In law's
door nt the same second I did. 1
pushed the door open unceremoni
ously. asking wildly as X did so:
"Oh! What is It?”
"Croup, by the sound,” Katherine
returned laconically, and then, with
a little cry, I ran forward to the bed,
where Junior was standing upright,
his eyes glazed In the agony of get
lng his breath, his face dark and con
vulsed with fright, and a brassy,
raucous, horrible sound issuing from
his contorted lips. His grandmother
—her face gray with fright—was
holding his thrashing little body as
best she could, and she spoke tense
ly as she saw us.
"It's one of the worst croup cases
I ever saw. Do something quickly."
"This minute," Katherine returned
composedly, even cheerily, and then
I saw, what my fright had not per
mitted me to notice before, that she
had In her hands a steaming tea
kettle, a basin and a bottle.
"Give him to Madge, Mother Gra
ham,” Ivatherine said In composed,
assured tones. "She is stronger and
can hold him firmly, and I need you
to hold the blanket. You are used
to croup and she Isn’t." t
When there is a real emergency
my mother In law rises to it won
derfully. There was no hint of hei
usual pique for any Infringement of
her authority in her prompt surren
dering of the idolized little body to
my grasp.
“Take him in your arms and sit
In this chair,” Katherine directed,
busy in pouring boiling water from
the kettle into the basin. “Keep
his arms and legs down so that he
can't upset this.’’
She had added the contents of the
bottle to the steaming water in the
basin as she spoke, and she turned
to my mother-in-law, who, with evi
dent understanding of her wishes,
was standing close by me with a big
and thick blanket spread out over
her arms.
“All ready," she said. “Put It over
both heads. This will be unpleasant,
Madge, but it can't be hehvd.”
The thick folds of the blanket en
veloped my head, the upper portion
of my body and the entire figure of
Junior. Then the lower edge of the
blanket was lifted add Katherine's
hand thrust in the steaming basin.
"Hold his face as close to it as
you can without burning him,” she
ilirccted, gnd I obeyed her, half
strangled myself, with the fumes
coming from the basin. Hut in only
a few seconds the awful choking
ceased, and I felt my little lad's tense
body relax against me.
"There, that will do for a little!”
Katherine decided, "Just hand rue
that other blanket, please. Thank
you. Now if you’ll ring the bell for
Katie, please. We must have a tiro
here right away.”
I heard my mother-in-law's foot
steps going to the side of the room
where she has had a bell installed
so that she may summon my little
maid at her convenience.
It is an arrangement at which 1
have rebelled secretly, and I know
Katie detests it, but now I was de
voutly thankful for It. And then
the swathing blanket was lifted from
me, and another blanket wrapped
quickly around Junior, while Kath
erine wiped the steam from his face.
•'He'll do for a few minutes,” she
said, looking at him gravely. "I'll
get something to give him."
"For a few minutes?” I echoed,
panic stricken. "Do you mean he's
going to have another of these
things?”
"Were in for a fight,” she an
sw’ered, "but don't lose your nerve.
No child ever died of croup yet.' Tt
gives most parents heart failure,
though.”
She was out of the room as she
spoke, and I heard her fleet feet
running down the hall. I clasped
my haby boy closer and saw that he
was too exhausted by his paroxysm
to move or cry. Mother Graham
came buck Into the room and, white
faced, bent above him.
"Grannie's lamb,” she said un
steadily. and there was room In my
heart tieside my own anxiety for a
profound pity for her. My curiosity
stirred feebly also, for there was
something in her tortured eyes even
more poignant than normal anxiety
would bring there.
Oh, Boy! Heal Corn Flakes/
FILL the bowl and pour on cream or milk, and the
treat is ready. There’s no waiting for the delicious
goodness of Post Toasties. And you have two good
foods — crisp, flavory, energy-giving flakes of toasted
corn, and the cream or milk with which Post Toasties
are served.
Nothing better to turn a hungry feeling into hap
piness. Don’t just ask for “corn flakes,” say Post
Toasties—they’re different! You can tell Post Toasties
by the Yellow and Red package —if it isn’t wax
wrapped it isn’t Post Toasties.

Perfect Cleanliness
Old Dutch Cleanser gives you perfect cleanliness in the bathroom
and all through the house. This means absolutely clean, not only
free from visible dirt,but from hidden impurities as well. Everything
you clean with it, therefore, is wholesome and sanitary.
The secret of the thoroughness and efficiency of Old Dutch lies in
the character of its fine particles, which are free from hard, jagged
grit. They are flat-shaped, made that way by nature. They erase the
dirt without injuring the surface, and do not scratch or grind it off
like sharp grit. Reing flat, they do a greater amount of cleaning,
easier and better, than anything else you can buy.
Old Dutch won't harm the hands because it contains no lye or
acids. For convenience, keep a can in the bathroom as well as the
kitchen. There is nothing like Old Dutch for perfect cleanliness.
