Many things on the stage are both immoral and stupid, Intentionally Immoral, unintentionally stupid, but uev- er the less very stupid. Women, us now presented to tho public, are about uh interesting as so many "sides" of dressed beef hung up in a butcher shop. Malingers ought to know that. A few yeur ago, even Henry Ford wouldn't huve thought this possible.

He recommended that all religious, business, social, fraternal and civic bodies commemorate the late president ln a fitting manner at one of their services, or meetings, and contribute to tho nieniori.il according to their means and inclinations. Mrs. Amanda Purcell, of Cleveland, was an Amherst visitor, Sunday. Young ludies of Chlcugo'a "Co-ed" University decided thut "all men ere talkers" and ure all dull. Some, Wltb dullness, combine seriousness, others froth, other triviality, but sll ere dull. Nothing new In that truthful statement. The miracle Is tbat women havo endured men's dullness, pretending to be interested In their conversation, for so many centuries, from dull modern man back to Adam. He must have hud nothing at all to sey, being so freshly made and having no gossip to bring home to his wife. You do not wonder that, In the despair of boredom, she talked to the snake. Ma i g_B lj-

The miracle Is tbat women havo endured men's dullness, pretending to be interested In their conversation, for so many centuries, from dull modern man back to Adam. He must have hud nothing at all to sey, being so freshly made and having no gossip to bring home to his wife. You do not wonder that, In the despair of boredom, she talked to the snake.
