THB LItTLE BOY’S PRAYER
Dear God, I need You awful bad, '
I don’t know what to do;
My papa’s cross, my mamma’s sick,
I hain’t no fren* but You.
Them keerless angels went an’ brung
’Stid of the boy I ast,
A weenchy, teenchy baby girl;
I don’t see how they d&st!
Say, God, I wish’d You take her back,
She’s just as good as new;
Won’t no one know she’s secon’-hand,
But ’ceptin’ me an’ You.
An' pick a boy, dear God, Yourself,
The nicest in yer fold;
But please don’t choose him quite so
young,
I’d like him five years old.

officials fro& placing her name on
the ballot, which was requested by
the plaintiff, Charles M. Dickson, of
San Antonio.
The court’s decision clears the way
for final adjudication of the case by
the supreme court. The plaintiffs
attorney gave notice of an appeal to
the, court of civil appeals. In order
to‘get the matter before the supreme
court with arguments in the court of
civil appeals, it will be necessary for
the latter tribunal to certify the
questions to the supreme court. The
parties virtually have agreed that
this procedure will be followed.
The supreme court meets next
Monday.
Judge Calhoun went immediately
into the heart of the question as to
whether women have the right . to
hold office under present laws.
Going back into the common law
of England, on the principle of which
the plaintiff had grounded his suit,
the court explained that women were
not allowed to hold office under the
old common law, principally because
a custom to that effect had grown
up. It was based on the assumption
that women were too delicate for the
arduous duties attendant upon office

that these conceptions of a woman’s
position had gradually changed as
women had become more educated,
and general enlightenment spread un
til the old ideas had given way to the
modern conception that women are in
all thin gsthe equal of men.

Dear Miss Fid: Is it necessary for

man shakes hands with a gloved hand,
should he say, “Pardon my glove.”
Thank you. L. P.
It is not necessary for a lady to
remove her glove. A gehtleman
should always remove his glove be

Texas Judge Rules That Mrs. Fergu-

of State.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 29.—Brushing
aside all the old common law bar
riers against the right of women to
Hold office, Judge George C. Cal
houn in Fifty-third district court here
today ruled that Mrs. Miriam Fergu
son legally is qualified to be govern
or of Texas.
In an opinion which Mrs. Fergu
son’s lawyers said was a thorough ex
position of the law and complete vin
dication of the position of the first
woman, nominee for governor, Judge
Calhoun declared that neither the con-
ciation, the following short - note
would be sufficient:
“Dear Mary:
“Your kind expression of friend
ship and sympathy was very much
appreciated, and touched me deeply.
“Sincerely yours.”
“The Flapper Grandmother” is like
a jolly joy ride—a regular epidemic
of laughter—each character makes a
hit.
Hatred is often the result of know
ing but one side of a person.,
A woman always agrees with a man
when she lets him have her own way.
A man’s worst enemy is often to be
found directly under his own hat.

Shortcake should be eaten with a
fork. (2) A fruit cocktail should be
eaten with a spoon. —
Deal 4 Miss Flo: When buttered
toast is served how should it be eat

When buttered toast is served, it
should be cut with a knife into small

I d THERE any fo—datlo* for our
prejudice again* the marriage of
cloeely related pereone?
In more thaa a third ef .the United
States marriage of tret ceoMae la for
bidden. In Oklahoma not even
cousins are allowed to marry.
Yet in England marriage
cousins Is quite common and has
for generations. An Englishman can
marry his father’s brother's daughter,
but until recently he was not allowed
to marry his deceased wife’s sister,
who was no relation to him whatever.
Professor Paul Popenoe. the well-
known authority on this subject, says
that whether or not cousins should
marry depends entirely on the cousin*.
Marriage between persons of the
same ancestry and the same personal
traits tends to produce children with
these traits more strongly developed.
If the Inherited characteristics ure
good, the marr1a|e results In better
children.
If the Inherited traits are bad, then
poorer children are the result

both Interested parties to the marriage
are strong and healthy, mentally and
physically, above the average, with no
bad tendencies In their common an
cestors for several generations back,
(heir children will probably be above
the avemge.
But If the cousins are mentally or
physically below the average. If their
ancestors had undesirable traits, or if
any evidences of Insanity, feeble*
mindedness, liability to disease, ec
centricities, or other undesirable pecu
liarities were present, then tnetr mar
riage wpuld he Inadvisable.
Professor Popenoe's conclusions are
In line with what every live stock
breeder knows from experience.
The breeder knows that when the
parents are carefully selected and all
animals with bad traits and physical
defects are cut out, there Is no quicker
or surer way of building up a fine
grade of stock than by Inbreeding.
On the other hand, the breeder
knows that If the parents are defec
tive. low grade or. “ecrub” animals, the
general average of the herd ts lowered.
So the answer to the queetlos
whether cousins should marry Is that
it all depends on the cousins. And
the host advice to those In doubt la
that of Punch—“Don’t.”
