Bishop Cannon over at (Jreenaboro last Sunday said he -was "simply dis gtmfced with the women/'- because laat year they spin I one hundred and sev enteen million dollars for "powder, paint and lipstick stuff." Now, lot's see what we really did get fov our money. If then) IN OQt hundred hnd ten million souls in these United States of ours, it Ss to be presumed that about half of u.i are potential paint, powder puff and lipstick users. Apportioning one. hun dred and seventeen million dollar:* among fifty-five million of the gent* ler sex of this land of the frcp and the home of the brave, would give each just- $2.14 per annum spend}!)' money for painting stuff?or a little less than 18 cents a month to look purty. , And who would beg^dge the sis terin' that little pittance? And is there even an old man amongst us who doesn't like tho ladies to appear well ? especially when they can do.it so economically? It doth appear the little money ac tually spent on artificialities is wuth tlje time, effort and price! i And another thing. Don't much of paint and powder stuff come right out of the ground here in North Carolina ? We mine hundreds of . tons of bull-tallow which makes tho finest of talcum. Also what Would we do with the polecats if we didn't make musk which goes into our fin est perfumes? And if by utilizing all thjs waste material our wives and daughters may appear to better advantage, why should we kick? The story is told of the late Sam Jones that once while he was hold ing One of his famous revivals, he asked if there was one woman with in the sound of his voice in the great auditorium who neither used powder, paint or artificialities of any kind to make herself appear more attractive. At last one lone, lorn, lank old soul slowly arose and stood before tho vast audienct*. ' Sam looked her over for a minute, rubbed his chin and then gravely asked: "Well, sister, why don't you?" While we are on this subject of spendin' money to look purty, let's see what the men are doing. Joseph Bryne, publisher of the Barber's Journal, says that the men of this country are spending $750,000,000 a year in barber shops. However, only $450,000,000 goes for whisker mow ing, the remaining $300,000,000 being used for facial massage and hair tonics. What man amongst us can with stand the seductive words^ of the barber when he says: "Mister, your hair is getting a little thin on top? how about a hair tonic? t "Do you think it will do any good?" /'Sure! Here's ?ome stuf^ that's just come in that I've got to bt? mighty careful how I use it or I'll be growing hair in the palms of my hands." "Go ahead then; I'll try it." But every baldheaded man knows the barber is a pervaricator when ho talks hair tonics. A billiard ball is a, billiard ball wherever found. Wreck on Buss Line Two passengers were slightly in jured when the Hudson coach, of the Hays bus lines, running from Columbia through Lancaster to Char lotte, side-swiped a Ford touring car on the Monroe road, near Waxhaw, N.
