Nobody's Business
ii ii
Written for The Chronicle by Gee
McGee, Copyright. 1027.
* Ask Me Another
I receive mnny letters every week
referring to "Nobodys Business" but
I rarely ever fiud it possible or coiw
venlent to use any items submitted.
I appreciate hearing from my readers,
and am grateful for their favorable
comments and not ungrateful
for contrary opinions. I do not always
write what I think or believe
or know. If I were to do that, the
papers might not print it, and therefore
I confine my self to ordinary
stuff?for ordinary people?that can
be digested without a dictionary.
' y? i
Nearly all the letters 1 receive are
signed, but some of them are anonymous,
and I think it is always best
to "keep quiet" about those that bear
no names. But I received the following
espistle a few days ago, which
I think deserves attention: it was
neither dated or post-marked. Here
it is.
"Dear Gee MuGee:?
We have read daily the column
called "Nobodys' Business" and many
of your prescriptions have proved
worthy of a trial. We are now asking
you for a little advice: won't you
please give us a prescription on how
to get our "Juicy Sheets" to come
.on Sunday afternoons, and not s.)
much through the week ? If your
remedy helps us we will be thankful.
Yours seeking help,
"Just Pals"
Dear Pals:?
There are many, many ways to
stop the boys frotm visiting you so
often, but among the most feasible
and excruciating are the following
ones: *
Wear long dresses. \
Don't cross your legs.
Stop painting.
Sit 4 feet away from him.
And keep him out of your lap.
Don't turn out the lights.
Don't cry when he leaves.
Don't hug him.
Don't let him hug you.
Of course, there are other methods,
but if you will practice all of
those just enufmerated, you'll not
only keep the bone-heads away from
you on week nights, you'll keep them
away on iSunday and Sunday nights,
and forever more. ? *
Now, Girls, I sincerely hope you
will appreciate my effort to help you
and save you from the annoyance(?)
of being courted so regularly. You
are the first "set" that I ever heard
of that complained of receiving too
imuch attention. I wish I could believe
that you were telling the truth.
r Your^ for keeps, >
Gee McGee.

It cost the State of South Carolina
about $165,800.00 to keep the game

warden, the following animals, 'birds,

from utter distructon: 26 polecats,

76 scents each; 80 rabbits, game

The Bicycle
It has been asserted that the cheap
automobile started the good rokuis
movement in this country, and many
believe the assertion.
It only showc how quickly and easily
we forget. Before the Ford or
any other automobile became popular,
or was even known, we had the bicycle?which
also went- on pneumatic
tires. The bicycle was exceedingly
popular in its day, and to the bicycle
belongs the credit of inaugurating the
good roads movement. It was a small
start, but a good start.
During the bicycle "craze" there
was ? League of American. Wheelmen
which had a good roads committee
in practically every state in the
Union, according to a correspondent
of the New York Times. It also
published a good roads magazine
which carried on systematically propaganda
for the good work. It" influenced
a number* of 'laws. Col.
Pope, maker of the Columbia bicycle,
was called the "father; of good roads."
Besides direct contributions he ^lipported
research work in roads and
highway building in a technical
school.
Let the humble bicycle have its
due.?The Pathfinder.
