EXPECT TROUBLE FROM THE WORLD AND YOU’LL GET IT

Martha Lee Doesn’t Believe Anyone Is Born Under an Unlucky Star —Life Is a Mirror, Smile in It and It Wyi Smile Back at You, Frown and It Will Frown. By Martha Lee “The world is a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back," someone once wrote. By the same token, when you frown at it, it frowns back. Os course we don't always believe ~~

this. When we feel charming and sweet and things are going splendidly, we’re quite ready to concede that the world is but giving us our just deserts. The philosophy doesn't seem so good when circumstances pile up a lot of unpleasant problems for us to stumble over. Then, we’re almost certain that life is giving us a raw deal and that we haven’t deserved the ungentle treatment. Anyway, if life isn't a mirror, its experiences do have a way of taking their tone from our thoughts and expectations about them. The person who is always expecting trouble, usually gets it; the one who is practically certain that in any new venture somebody will “do” him, is likely to not be disappointed and conversely, we’re a whole lot more likely to have friends, pleasant happiness, “lyck” if we believe in, and are expecting these things. I Born Under Unlucky Star? W Pear Martha Pee: Don't you think that thines are terribly unequal in this world? 'lt seems to me I am born to bad luck, as about everythin? I pet into or try to do seems to have some “hoodoo" attached to it. I almost know what side of anything is going- to lose—ft's the side I’m on. Do you believe in being born under an unlucky star, and that when you are there is no use trying to “beat the game?” I have not got a single friend that X feel that I could just positively trust or count on and that is another worry, as I long for nice, pleasant friends that would be true to me. MISS LAURA H. What kind of a friend do -you make to other folks, Miss Laura? Can they “count” on you and are you lovable and pleasant to them? If we try always to get, rather than give, we find life disappointing. Think over that thought about life being a mirror and see if smiling at it, may not help. No, t I don’t believe in “unlucky” stars or their hurtful Influence. Has Two Lovers Dear Martha Leo: There are two young men who both say they love me dearly. They are as different as day and night and that is the reason I am so uncertain about them. One is jolly, care free, happy go luckv and is a great lover of sports The other eares more for so-

cial life and is a fine dancer and is a musician. One drives a Nash touring oar and Hie oilier a ford coupe. Please give me advice. MARY JANE. /I can’t, Mary Jane, because I don’t know what your preferences or tastes are. You alone can know what type of man appeals. Evidently you are trying to say, that while these young men differ, each has much atracUon in his particular way. Their charms, in other words, are equally balanced, so the best I can advise is to treat them the same for the present, and some situation will arise that will make the stock of one rise higher than the other, -and you will then decide that he is to be preferred. Where to Spend Christmas? Dear Martha Lee: Just a little question that my husband and 1 nave argued over for two weeks. Should a man spend Christmas with his wile and baby at home or should he insist upon taking them to his mother's home and have Christmas dinner with his mother, who does not like me and never did. He wants me to go thero anyway. That would be very foolish. I think. We have been married three years and we have spent both of the other Christmases, there. I think if ho goes there it shows whether lie loves me or not. and 1 have about decided to leave him if he does He never wants to go to my home on holidays. Hiease advise me. MRS. A. B. Isn’t it too bad, dear Mrs. A. 8., that you can’t let the spirit of “Peace on earth, good will to men” hold sway in your heart at this one time of the year? If your husband was deliberately trying to annoy you by his home-coming proposition, you would have reason to feel resentment, but it’s more likely that the man is torn between allegiance to your wishes and a feeling that the woman who gave him life should have consideration at this Christmas season. v _ Won't your love lor him enable you to make this sacrifice and spend the day with him as he has planned? Then make a bargain that he spend New Year’s or some other day with your people. This plan, it is true, is giving him a little the best of the argument, but considering what Is Involved between you two, I believe it is the best way.

BE A UTIFUL MA YBE, B UT NOT SO DUMB By Mrs. Walter Ferguson A young man writes at length upon the general dullness of females. I heard that explained one day and by a girl, too. She said, “God made women beautiful, but dumb. Beautiful so the men would love them. Dumb so they could love the men.” Every now and then a boy bursts forth abouLAhe mental inferiority of girls, or some man will explain all about the moronic tendencies of women. But really, now, come to tljink of it, can that word dumb be truthfully applied to our sex? , Would you call unintelligent that youngster who, with a bit of rouge, a dash of lipstick and an abbreviated skirt, can go out and entice these brilliant, strong-minded men into what are called heavy dates and prevail upon them to supply food, taxis, sweets, nhows and jewels now and then? Is she all dumb who, by wile and subtlety, flatters the perspicacious man so that before he knows it he is married to her and works all the rest of his life to keep her in luxury? Is that dame an actual simpleton who can go forth armed with a sixshooter and assassinate a useful citizen and get by a jury of twelve men with it? Could we charge actual mental

There’s a variety of interesting questions in this test. The correct answers appear on page 14: 1. Who is shown in the accompanying picture? 2. Who wrote “The Story of Philosophy,” recently published? 3. Who Is popularly known as the Duce of Italy? 4. Does President Coolidge believe in high or low income taxes? • 5. What is meant by the popular theater slang "term “an Annie Oakley”? 6. What is the title of the novel that Joseph Conrad left unfinished at his death? 7. Who is the creator of the “Fu Manchu” mystery tales? 8. What members of Queen Marie's immediate family accompanied her on her American tour? 9. Where is radio station KOA? 10.

In Kansas, which sex would you say had a corner on brains, when the men have to bootleg their cigarets in since the women got through with one of their legislative sessions? Is that maid either shallow-wltted, stupid or idiotic who can smile at a rich old man and make him turn his purse inside out for her? Would you say that the woman wlio can marry a man for a couple of months, get, without deserving it, a decree of divorce *and a large chunk of alimony from a male Judge, was a regular saphead? No, the time has come for us to think of something else to call women. Just now it sounds a bit queer for men to charge us with dumbness, when never before have so many sagacious, rational, keenwitted. prudent, sensible, wise males been individually under the thumbs and subjected collectively to laws fojgfed upon them by frivolous, simnle, senseless, foolish, half-witted Women. The word dumb is a misnomer. Women are neither silly nor silent these days.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Saint and Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN

The wedding was to take place at 9 o’clock that Thanksgiving evening. At 7 peace descended upon the Lane household in Myrtle St. The last of the over-fed relatives had departed at 6. Faith had ordered all members of the family, except “Long,” who had of course taken Fay home and was not expected to rejoin the family urtil they all met in the church, to go to bed for a nap or a rest before time to dress for the wedding. Cherry had borne herself gaily, nonchalantly, through the ordeal of the dinner, after having helped Faith loyally, if inefficiently, ir. the kitchen all morning. During those hours of work shared together the sisters had come closer than they had been in weeks. As she closed the door upon a nigiit-robed, weary little Cherry, Faithos heart was almost bursting with love and pity. “Try and go to sleep, darling. I’ll have your bath drawn, and all scented with rose bath salts, at 8. Then I’ll help you dress and you can hook me up. I’m glad you didn’t let Frances or Selma come here to dress and help you dress, as they wanted to. Now, darling, Just close your eyes and make your mind a blank. I’m going to He down myself. but I’ll hear you If you call.” “You’re so good to me. Faith!’'* the whlspery, languid voice answered. Joy, who had been stuffed with too much rich food, was already asleep, her new' first all-silk white socks, cuddled against her cheek. Faith, smiling wearily, was glad that one member of the Lane family was enjoying the weddlng-wholeheartedly. She lay in bed, tense, wakeful, achingly weary, for an Interminable j hour, then she tiptoed Into the bathroom and made preparations for Cherry’s last bath in the short, ruststained tub. She found Cherry awake, clad in a quilted blue satin dressing gown, and seated on the bed, surrounded by scores of letters. “I was reading some of my old love letters,” she twisted her red Ups Into a bitter smile. “I thought I’d burn them, but now I don’t believe I will. They may be all I’ll — ever know—-of love. Bath ready?” her voice changed miraculously. "Scrub my neck and ears and back, like you used to when I was a grubby little kid. honey. —I don’t want to be alone.” she begged, that

WHICH IS GREATER SERVICE?

By Olive Roberta Barton The Russian crown Jewels have come to America to be sold. Included In the / collection Is the famous crown of Catherine the Great, of Russia. It contains over fifteen hundred diamonds and is valued at fiftytwo million dollars. There are other jewels equally magnificent that belonged to different members of the Romanoff family. But one hears little of Peter the Great in the list of owners. Who wore the greater crown? When merely a boy, Peter realized the savage condition of his subjects. The world around them was civilized and Peter determined to learn the secret of that civilization and teach It to his people. He went to Amsterdam, called himself Peter Zlmmermann, and hired as a laborer in a shipyard. He lived in a garret, mended his own clothes, cooked his own food. He learned what he manufacturing; he learned to shoe a horse —and to make shoes for himself; he also picked up a certain knowledge of surgery. With this knowledge of people and things he returned to Russia and started his reforms. He introduced arithmetic Into business. ■ Heretofore accounts had been kept with balls strung on wire. He set up printing presses and founded schools and hospitals. He died doing an act of mercy— shipwrecked sailors. 'Catherine the Great the attributes of a queen, but was politically unscrupulous and had a Hair for conquest. Her armies were legion, her court the most magnificent of its age. Her coronation crown Is .jvorth $52,000,000. One great with wisdom, humility and kindness—the other great with a conqueror’s greatness. Which is the truer patriotismsacrifice and service, or materialistic gain? It not the absence of jewels belonging to Peter the First, significant?

frightened, cornered look coming back into her violet-shadowed topaz eyes. ‘‘l’d love it,” Faith made her voice laugh, while her heart was breaking. "Doesn’t it smell gorgeous?” CherTy wrinkled her short little nose as she tested the temperature of the water with a wary, dainty foot. "You help Muggy dress first, while I brush my hair and touch up my nails,” Cherry told her sister later, I after Faith had dried the rosy little ‘ body with a great, fleecy towel, j But Faith found that her mother J had completed her dressing and was I tweaking at Joy’s short, white silk | skirt with a fussy hand. “I wish that henna-headed woman had made Joy’s dress just a mite longer.” she grumbled. “Her knees j look' like doorknobs. Now, don’t tune up and cry!” she shook Joy by a shoulder. “You look all right. Pretty is as pretty does, and If you act half as nice as you look, they won’t put you out of the church. Faith, I wish you’d catch up them loose back hairs of mine with an Invisible hairpin. And dust a little powder on the back of my neck. Do I look all right?” “You look stunning. Mother!” Faith assured her as she wound the straggling hnirs on a tiny hairpin. “Dad, do you want me to fix your tie for you? Your new suit fits fine, doesn’t it?” When she finished with his black string tie she stood back and surveyed her father admiringly. His thinning pepper-and-salt hair was parted sleekly and wetly, talcum showed faintly over his dost* shave. His shoulders, usually bowed under his Invisible load of care, were conscientiously straightened, as if the decent newness of his Inexpensive gray suit had to be lived up to. “You’re a real sheik, Dad,” she laughed huskily and kissed him. "Your Ma’s too fine for me, in that grand new dress of hers,” he deprecated. “When’s George Pruitt going to come for us?” “Half past eight,” Faith answered. “I’m going to w'alt and go with Cherry, you knf>w. Mr. Clunn'/s sending his car for us at a quarter to nine. I’ve got to hurry now with my own dressing and help her dress.” “Will the flowers be sure to be •therb?” Joy demanded, hoping about excitedly on one whiteslippered foot. “I’d Just die If I didn’t get to carry the flowers.” “They'll be there. Good-by, darlings. Don’t get fidgety If things start a little late. Weddings are always late, I’ve noticed.” A few minutes later she heard George Pruitt’s cheerful, booming voice, and the flurry of her mother’s and father’s and Joy's departure. Clad only in her delicate lace and silk underthings, i>nd with her bridesmaid’s dress over her afro, she hurried down the hall to Cherry's room, to help her finish dressing. The door was locked. ”Cherrv! Time to dress, darling. We've got to hurry.” There was no answer. (To Be Continued.) (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) Next: Cherry’s disappearance.

Your “Regular” Pain Now Needless Menstruation is a perfectly natural process, but the painful part is NEEDLESS. Long study has absolutely conquered menstrual pain. Science now offers women reliable and complete relief—in a simple, utterly harmless tablet called nrldol. This newest achievement of the laboratory has nothing to do with drastic, habit-forming drugs that kill pain by benumbing the whole system! Mldol acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and nothing else. Yet relief and absolute comfort come in five to seven minutes! So, why have a twinge of pain—feel "low”, or even uncomfortable!! Or take a/iythtng to depress the: heart or upset the system?

FLORIDA TRAFFIC DROPS ONE-THIRD

Migration of Indianapolis citizens to Florida this season averages onethird less than last year's figures, was the general opinion expressed today by a number of local railroad officials. “I would estimate that passenger traffic over our road to. Florida has decreased 75 per cent from the business we were enjoying last year,” declared J. C. Millspaugh, district passenger agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad. “It is safe to say that our regular tourist travel Is all we have. In my opinion those who are going to Florida this season are not doing so to make investments." J. N. Lemon, division passenger agent for the Big Four Railroad, stated that their passenger business to Florida had decreased 50 per cent from last year, "In last year's rush,” he said, “we were ticketing over thirty people daily, but this has dropped to our present tourist rate of about ten a day.

“We are maintaining our through service, however, to accommodate our regular winter season tourist demand, which will continue through the cold weather.” Both the Southern Railway and the Louisville & Nashville road representatives here expressed the same opinion of a decreased passenger travel to Florida. “Our tourist business is about the same as the normal in 1924,” said Harry M. Mounts. Indiana traveling passenger agent for the L. & N., with headquarters here. “However, the flood of investors and speculators are not making the Florida trip this winter as they did last year.” “The Florida return to stability in land values has told on our busi-
