GAY CLOTHES FOR MEN
Many designers of men’s clothing
keep predicting that man will wear
brighter colors. One of the big style
authorities now designing costumes
at the Hollywood studios, says that in
the future men will wear brighter
clothes than women. He argues this
theory from the fact that the male
birds have gayer feathers than the
female.
On the streets, especially in the
cities, it is noted that many men, and
all tea-hounds, have been wearing
somewhat gayer clothing, socks, ties,
etc., and very light colored suits and
overcoats are said to be generally
fashionable. But in the main, as re
spects clothes, the average man who
has reached maturity, is satisfied to
be a neutral background for his wife’s
glories.
desire for sensationalism may seem
to be in demand; by the reading pub
lic, it is a newspaper’s duty to keep
its own columns decent and thus strive
to hold steady the public mind in the
path of right, morality and the ser
vice of God. “Is it fit to print and
be read by my own mother, wife or
daughter?” should be the test rather
than “Will it sell more papers?” Let
us be enterprising without being sen
sational.
“4. Consideration for the unfor
tunate and for the guiltless victims of
the faults of others. Since publicity
is the greatest deterrent of crime, we
must expose fearlessly and without
favor the names of law breakers, but
we should protest the names of mem
bers of their families and other asso
ciates. No story justifies needless
damage to a good reputation nor wan
ton pain to the innocent.
“5. Respect and tolerance for those
of different religions, races and cir
cumstances # of life. Ridicule may
bring only pain to them but its author
cannot escape real injury in loss of
respect in which he is held by the
public and by himself.
“6. Honesty in our dealings with
our readers, our advertisers, our em
ployees, our competitors and all with
tfhom we do business; to give a dol
lar’s value for every dollar received
and to pay a dollar for every dollar’s
worth of service. We should do no
less and should be expected to do no
out.
It is all right for a married man
to Calk back to hit wife, provided he
does not let her hear him. -J-— K
WOMEN’S WORK
Many women throughout the coun
try are kicking about that provision
of the income tax law as to the state
ment required relative to people’s oc
cupations. In the portion of the blank
where people name their occopations,
they have to write “none” in case they
have no outside employment but sim
ply devote themselves to housekeeping
at home.
The men say this is a mere matter
of foi;m and a trifling detail. But the
women do not think it looks well. So
a number of their organizations are
petitioning; qpngr^as to have the blank
form changed.
It strikes us that there is ground
for their complaint.* When a woman
gets up at six o’clock to get break
fast, milks the cow, brings in the
atove wood, spends all day long cook
ing and sweeping and caring for the
family, and at last gets a moment of
rest only after the kids have been put
to bed, it is rather unappreciative and
unfair to list her as having no occu
pation.
MRS. COOLIDGE’S SMILE
Mrs. Coolidge’s smile has become
famous oh the North shore of Mass
achusetts where she and Cal’ spent
the summer. * It is commonly referred
to as her “million dollar smile”. She
$eems to have a kind of infectious
laugh which makes her personality
fascinating and magnetic.
Not many of us can have a million
dollar smile, and we might use it too
often if we did. Some people smile
so much that it is* a liability instead
of an asset. Yet there are many who
have made thbir way in business and
politics by the power of their smiling
countenance.
more.
“7.
Truth, first, last and always,
to the limit of our ability; to be as
accurate as human fallibility on the
part of others as well as of our
selves will permit; to willingly mis
lead none and to be fair to all. There
are two sides to every story._ Let us
tell both. If we do anyone an injus
tice, we should correct it at once,
whether the injured person demands
it or not.
“Though temporary prosperity may
be ^achieved by violation of some of
these ideals, we conceive it our duty
to hold steadfast to these principles,
and believe permahenl^success will re
ward their faithfuL performance.”
Speaking of unnecessary jobs, whal
about chaperones?
The flappers will soon be growing
up and complaining of the rough wayr
of the younger crowd.
Folks used to hold out the hand of
friendship, but the hand extended for
tips is the most comnionly seen now-
a-days.
Many towns with abundant water
are making a great noise by advertis
ing the fact, but this does not satisfy
those who demand hootch.
A real estate advertisement says
every man should be his own land
lord, but in that case some would feel
that they couldn’t deface the house
so cheerfully.
How times have changed. About
this time of the year in the old days,
mother was busy using old flour sacks
to make underwear for the children.
A thing may be difficult, but it will
never be done by the man who says
it can’t be done.

140 counties affected severely. The

A NEWSPAPER CODE OF ETHICS
At the recent annual convention of
the Southern Newspaper Publishers’
Association, held m Asheville, the fol
lowing code of ethics was submitted
by a specially appointed committee
and adopted. These are the principles
and ideals upon which every reputable
newspaper is founded, and to which
they must hold steadfast if they are
to succeed and win the confidence of
the public.
“1. Service to the community, the
state, our country and to civilization.
People uaed tahe more neighborly.
But anyway, the boys are still willing
to call on all the pretty girls.
The doctors tell us that we need
eight hours sleep, and some folks try
to steal part of it while at work or in
church. v
Personal appearance is said to play
a large part, and judging from the
frequency with which the girls powder
their noses, they must believe it.
Feeling that the president may be
lonely now that he has gotten back
from his vacation, the office-seekers
will be constantly dropping in to keep
him company.
There are lets of mean folks ip the
world but what about the fellow who
won’t pay the doctor after he has
saved his life?
