into greater detail about the pro
cedure to be employed in getting
one* aquaw to work "bile he
alt* on the soft side of a plunk
and whittles
Really the matter is very
simple—if you understand women.
And yeti should understand
woman for she Is made of matt
Instead of being a bundle of eon
tradictions. she's as transparent
as Ned Purcell's show window
She often appears to be contradio
tory. but you must learn to dis
tingviish between contradiction
and contentiousness Once you
have learned this you cun see
thru any woman, be your eyesight
good or bad t'ontradiction is a
fixed condition, confined almost
exclusively to politicians, while
contentiousness ts a variable
quantity, albeit peculiar to
womankind.
Now that you have this iirmly
fixed in your mind, we will get
on with the business of exploit
lug the mind and emotions of the
contrary sex,
Ry way of defense we should
aay at the outset that man in
trying to put his wife to work, ts
only attempting to restore a con
dition Ire enjoyed from earliest
times down to the PUh amend
ment when he opened the ballot
box to her and subsequently lost
hia britches
Klret off. you want to keep in
mind that every woman thinks
every other woman is a bat
whom her husband could seduce
with all ease. On that peg you
ftbould hang your crusade. Wo
mnn la possessive and once she
hnt loaded her victim, she is ever
olert U» hold him. Not by mak-
leg herself attractive Oh no.
but by the sheer power of her
will. And while you may not
think a woman's will is a tangi
ble thing. I can assure you it can
leave scars, lu pursuing you free
dom you want to plant a little
germ first of all. In some subtle
manner, not overtly of course, you
leave your wife with the im
pression that you do not eon-
aider yourself too firmly tied
to her apron strings, l^et it drop
at that for the present aud move
on to Section 2. subsection IV.
Get yourself an envelope and
some paper of the sort used by
women, addres it to yourself
in a feminine hand and h ave it
around where she can see it, but
not where she can get hold of
If. Sprinkle It with a bit of
perfume. “My Secret Sin 1 ' would
be fine.
Then one night you let her
catch you talking on the tele
phone. You make a lot of btby
talk which you have arranged
with a friend to listen to. When
she wants to know who it was
just tell her it was a man. She
won’t believe it of course. Germ
No. 2.
On the next phase of operation
you must be subtle, very subtle,
for here we are dealing with a
matter of which it is said that
even hell hath nothing like.
Get out your Sears, Roebuck
catalog one night and turn the
pages casually. After a time
yawn and say you think you
will go to bed. In the meantime
you leave the catalog open at
twin beds. She will see it.
When she comes to bed get over
on your side just as far as you
can and say something about the
bed being low in the middle. Do
this several times and remark
when you read the description of
the beds that it sounds like they
would be comfortable.
You ought to have her pretty
well conditioned by this time as
nothing quite upsets a woman as
the thought that her man does
not want to sleep with her. If.
however, she does not seem to
be softening, you might say
you’ve a good mind to go out and
sleep with the dog. I've known
that to work. But unless you
have failed somewhere along the
line, we are to assume that con
ditions are ripe for the next
move.
You have alw’ays eaten a hearty
breakfast but this morning you
refuse to touch a bite. Tell her
you have the belly-ache. She
will now prepare your favorite
dish for supper. You will refuse
that too, saying that your ache
ia much, much worse. You don’t
know how you are going to con
tinue working. She will insist
that you go to a doctor. Go, you
have nothing to lose for no doctor
in the world can locate a belly
ache. Its locale is from your
gizzard to your knees and he
can’t say positively that you have
or have not, a belly-ache. You
tell her that the doctor said it

Jolly Street Rally Told Complacency Can Wreck Nation
(By Richard Hagood in The State)
“Complacency and a let-down
among our people’’ can easily
wreck this nation, a high army
information official warned sev
eral hundred persons gathered
at this traditional speaking
ground for the annual Fourth of
July rally.
Brig. Gen. G. S. Meloy, Jr.,
chief of the office of civil rela
tions of the office of chief of in
formation at army headquarters,
Washington, D. C., was the prin
cipal speaker on the program
which also included a concert by
the Eighth Infantry band that
sports a section of bagpipers clad
in Scottish kilts and Jolly Street’s
holiday fare of barbecue and po
litical addresses.
General Meloy called attention
to the “credit side of the ledger”
in the war, but assured his audi
ence that “Korea is not a brief
acute attack of a new disease—
it is a symptom of a chronic ail
ment which must be cured. A
lessening of our determination
through complacency of a ‘busi-
ness-as-usual’ attitude will not
cure this ailment.’’ Through it
and the resultant false sense of
security Stalin “can really de
stroy us,” he added.
Introduced by Congressman W.
J. Bryan Dorn of the Third dis
trict, General Meloy noted the
“accomplishments” of the United
Nations forces in the Korean
struggle. Citing a battle-wise
army, navy and air force, he
declared that “we have made the
Communist aggressors pause for
thought. . .Although we think of
Chinese manpower as inexhausti
ble, their trained manpower is
not inexhaustible, and we have
inflicted heavy losses. .
The international teamwork
“developed among the UN forces
and the fact that we have gain-'
ed a year’s time in which we
have been able to avoid World
War III” were stressed by the
general, who is the winner of
the Distinguished Service Cross
for heroism in the year-long war.
Thomas H. Pope of Newberry,
former speaker of the state house
of representatives, presented the
welcome address on the program,
over which Eugene S. Blease, for
mer chief justice of the South
Carolina supreme court, presided.
Mr. Pope cited a little of the
history of the famous Jolfy Street
institution which was founded in
1888 and has brought many a
fiery orator before the public
throughout the years. Digressing
from that, he took time out to
level a blast at the “pig-headed
politicians in this country.” They
were not named.
Maj. Gen. James C. Dozier,
adjutant general of South Caro
lina adding another military touch
on this 176th anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of In
dependence, noted the part the
citizen soldier has played in the
defense of this st^(e and nation.
The National Guardsman and his
role in each of the wars during
the history of the nation were
praised for defending the tenets
of the constitution.
In introducing General Meloy,
Congressman Dorn applauded the
speaker as a veteran of “several
wars” who had been wounded in
Korea while rallying UN forces
during the dark days of short
supplies and retreat. Dorn who
had previously announced that he
would return to South Carolina to
crusade for Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur’s cause, failed to men
tion the subject.
To reassure many in the audi
ence who had men in Korea,
General Meloy told of the pains
taking efforts to provide com
fort for those fighting in that
mountainous country. The bath
ing and similar units and the ad
vanced medical attention accord
ed the troops received conunenda-
tion for their aid in maintaining
the “high’’ morale.
In conclusion he said, “If we
aren’t willing to work and fight
for the blessings we have here
lu the United States, then, by
golly, we don’t deserve to keep
them.”
Phillip Kelly brought greetings
from Newberry college during the
midday event conducted in the
pine-shaded amphitheater adja
cent to the school building and
ball park, dedicated to the late
Cole L. Blease.
The event was managed by
Walter Richardson, who heads
the Jolly Street association.
