Modern Girl Is
0. K. Declares
University Dean
She May Powder and Paint a
Bit, But What of? They're
Too Emotional
Though.
Chicago, March 26. The modern
girl and her mode of personal adorn
ment have stood a lot of knocking
from those who sigh for the "good
old days," but now the "m. g." has
found a staunch defender. Mary
Ross Potter, dean of women at
Northwestern university, answers
the oft-uttered question: "What's
the matter with the girl of today?"
by declaring: "Not a thing."
"There is nothing wrong with the
girl of today because she uses a lip
stick and a little rouge and a dab of
powder," Dean Potter said.
"Of course, the dress of the girl of
today skirt to knees almost, tilmsy
stockings, finisy everything is not
the dresf of mother's generation.
Nevertheless, she is sweet and good
and kind at heart.
"She has independence a bit of
frivolousness that did not belong to
her mother's day. She doesn't like to
be ordered about. She wants to hold
up her head and go her wav as she
sees that way.
"But such a spirit is the spirit of
the times. It is the result of the war.
Our soldiers felt that when they
c,ame home after serving their coun
try no one had a right to order them
around regulate their every move.
And I believe they were right, too.
"The girl of today has that spirit.
There is the frequent criticism that
our present-day girls prefer business
careers to marriage. Yet they are
most affectionate and exceedingly
emotional, too emotional, I think.
"It is true we have more delin
quents than formerly. That, too, is
a sign of the times, and a very great
problem. I hope we will face it
bravely and solve it."

Starting Switch Key
Should Not Be Left
In Auto, Says Dealer
Some motorists think they are not
so apt to misplace the key to the
starting switches of their cars if they
leave the key right in the switch it
self. "This proves to be a dangerous
habit, however," says Elmer Rosen
gren of the Nebraska Storage Bat
tery company. "We frequently have
car owners towed into our service
station because their batteries have
been drained absolutely dry as a re
sult of someone having turned the
switch 'on'.
"It is especially dangerous to leave
the key in a switch when the car is
kept in a public garage where all
sorts of people are coming and going."
Heart Secrets of a
Fortune Teller
By RACHEL MACK.
The High-Brow Girl.
A pretty, but prim young lady
wearin' nose glasses and a Plymouth
Rock expression walks into my of
fice today. "Nothing Hy about her,"
I remarks to myself. "She's got a
problem as weighty as a United
States president trvin' to pick a cabi
net I" 9
Imagine my surprise when she an
nounces: "I want some advice on
the way to be popular with the op
posite sex."
Dear me! I gasps. Id lever
suspect you of being a lady with
jazzy ambitions. You don't exactly
look the part!
"Then I deceive my looks," she
answers. "I've always envied the
girls who are popular, and I want
attention and beaus more than any
thing else in the world."
"Well," I says, "it ought to be a
simple matter if you're downright
serious about it. Your looks are
neat enough, and I'll wager you've
sufficient brains to pass muster be
fore a masculine board of investiga
tion!"
"Yes," she responds, "to be per
fectly frank about it, I ve noticed
many popular girls who are plainer
than I am, and very few of them
have the education I have."
"So you're one of the Janes with
the alphabet trailin' your name, and
diplomas adornin' your walls like
bathin' beauties in a college frat
room, are you?" I hazard.
"I adniit that I am considered in
tellectual," she answers with prirna-donna-like
modesty. "I read only
the best books, only the classics, in
fact, and I always try to discuss
them with the people I meet."
"You mean to say, girlie, that you
don't know Wow they're proposin'
this season in all the best short stor
ies and best sellin' novels!"
"I don't care for popular maga
zines," she says, "nor for musical
comedies and light drama."
"And what," I groans, "is your
opinion of the movin' picture art and
the great American outdoor sport?"
"It you are referring to base ball,"
she answers, "I consider it vulgar
and moving pictures bore me ter
ribly 1"
"What's your idea of a regular
time, dearie, when you feel like in
dulgin' in a little celebration?" I en
quires in my best bedside manner.
"Oh," she enthuses, "I adore opera,
and lectures and serious plays es
pecially dramas translated from the
Greek! I find such amusements very
stimulating and enjoyable."
"And how do the occasional men
callers take to this merry line of
chatter of yours, dearie?
"They are not at all responsive,"
she admits. "I suppose I fail to ex
press myself in an entertaining way.
My brother often brings his friends
home with him, but I never seem
able to interest them. Thev are sue
cessful business men all of them are
brainy and intellectual and yet they
simply yawn in my face when I try
to entertain them!"
"Well, dearie," I says, "you don't
seem to be aware that if there's one
thing a brainy man hates, it's usin'
his brains after office hoursl A line
of high-brow conversation after
rush day downtown is likely to be
as soothin' to his nerves as an
Oystermoor mattress on a Simons
bed! It induces sleep 1 Helen of Troy
and Gaby Deslys workin together
couldn't keep the average male awake
on a dead line of talk copped from
a Latin grammar!!
"Then you think all men, whether
they are intellectual or not, like
frivolous amusements?" she ventures.
"Couldn't have expressed the little
idea better in my own words,
dearie!" I congratulates her. "Leave
the matter to the male voters in this
great and glorious land of the free
and Georges Carpentier could win
the race for any old office on the
prohibition ticket over Sir Walter
Scott or Alfred Tennyson repre
sentin' the democratic and republican
tickets combined."
"The next time you get a chance
at a man, dearie," I continues, "Hard

Omaha Distributor
Reports Demand for
Auburn Automobiles
Andy Schaefer of the Omaha Au
burn Motor company, the local Au
burn Beauty-six distributor,- reports
a brisk demand for Auburn cars.
"The price of the Auburn Beauty
Six," says Mr. Schaefer, "was recent
ly reduced $200. The present price is
based absolutely on the lowered cost
of 1921 materials and 1921 manufac
ture. "In order to effect this reduction
the Auburn Automobile company ab
sorbed a loss on materials remain
ing from last year's purchases. The
company was able to do this he
cause of its strong financial posi
tion and because it is free from !ebt.
"In automobiles, as in other com
modities, the public is quick to recog
nize a price reduction commensurate
with lowered production costs. Loral
automobile buyers are showing in
stant appreciation for the sound
value afforded by the new Auburn
prices and each day tecs new mem
bers added to the satisfied ranks of
Auburn owners."
