THE MOTHER OF THE MAN 51 By Douglas Mai loch, HE child Is father of the man, the saying may be true, And yet some woman must, and can, be mother of the two. The baby needs a mother, yes, the baby on the floor, But there Is not a man, I guess, who doesn't need her Man courts her In his courting, days, and will not let her be, And talks to her like books and plays, like movies that you see; He says she's like a In bloom, a lover's dream, and yet, lucky, lucky, lucky groom, tnat Isn't what you get. A fellow thinks he wants a bride, he even wants a wife, And yet he really needs, beside, a mother all his life.

He loves her for her beauty's sake, but when the sun Is gone, He needs a mother who will make him put his rubbers on. Man thinks he needs maiden fair the greatest need of his Is some one who will tell where his hat or hammer lg. The dog perhaps was once a pup, and kitten cats began, But one thing never does grow up, and that one thing's a man. 1930, Douglas Malloch.) SUPERSTITIOUS SUE Fire Festival Used to Prove Love IRE festivals, one of the most primitive means of making a love charm, actually take place today In different forms in several countries, reveals a writer In Mystic Magazine. These fire festivals of today come from an old pagan sex rite In the days when fire was a symbol of fertility.

In such times weird sorts of fire worshiping were practiced to Insure the birth of many children and and abundant growth of crops. They have been changed to their quaint and more wholesome use of today through modern 'Influence. But the original rite may still be seen if one explores Into the heart of central Africa and a few other tropical regions. An intimate view of a modern flre festival, continues the writer, can be obtained by transporting ourselves to the pretty French province of Franche- Comte, where they are still held. If we are lucky, we find a spot In a forest where the ceremony is about to take place.

We hide and watch by the light of the moon. Presently, a gay group of young men and women come trouplng Into a clearing among the trees. Some are pulling small carts SHE HAS HEARD If your hand shakes when you're writing to your sweetie, oh heart, a sure sign he's daffy about you. by MoClure Newspaper Syndicate.) When one waits on himself he considers himself well waited on. There are times when a man is afterward glad he had no pistol.

These present days are going to be "the good old days" for somebody. Tour friend doesn't flatter you; he really means it, bless his golden heart Charity should begin at home and economy begins with staying there. Human nature does change; but about a hair's breadth in a generation. If people hate to say no, one Is foolish to push them into saying yes. Too much "independence of soul" prevents a tnan from being promoted.

One reason a great many men don't enjoy society is because they think they have to be artificial. They don't. What prevents two men from becoming friends Is that neither of them will brook opposition of any kind. "Sons of the Sun" The ancient Peruvians believed that the sun once came down to the earth and laid two eggs and then went back again. From these two eggs men sprung.

By JEAN NEWTON SAT, my -friend and at a table in the terrasse of the Cafe de la Suddenly my friend remarked, "There come two American women." "Why so sure?" I retorted. "They have the American woman's mouth. That mouth is a dead-giveaway." They came closer, talking. Yes, they were Americans. But what did my friend mean about the mouth? I noticed that these women had a slightly discontented expression.

The corners of their mouths drooped. It gave them the appearance of fault-finding, of dissatisfaction. "There's only one woman who goes about with that expression," asserted my companion, "the American woman." I pondered. Why was this so? Why Boys leave Home BY JOE ARCHIBALD "Too much for nothing," declared my friend. "No vital Interest.

No need for any sacrifice of self. No Inner companionship with their men, to be found only In work together. Without understanding it, these women feel cheated. They haven't grasped the fundamental fact that what they want Isn't to be given something, but to give. They want to be asked for something worth while." I have taken that from an article by Hlldegarde Hawthorne In a current magazine because I believe it is well worth reading by every one.

The discontented faces of women Is a big question, and I believe Miss Hawthorne has hit the nail on the head as to the reason for them. But I take issue with the author when she typifies the woman with a discontented face as the American woman! It may be trjie that many of the American women who quented the Cafe de la Palx In Paris looked discontented. They were doubtless bored! But, while it Is true that the luxury of travel is being opened up to even greater numbers of American women, Is still hardly fair to take a type of Woman who happens to be familiar among those tripping about on the continent of Europe call her the American woman! The busy mothers of are not counted in tens or in hundreds not have that discontented look. If America Is a woman's country It is primarily so because it is a place where women have more opportunity for self-expression, for activity, for that giving of themselves which sustains the life of the spirit, and which is the greatest enemy of boredom and discontent. So the person who ascribes that discontented look, the bored face of the selfish, over- Indulged woman to American women is making a mistake.

You may meet those faces on some American women in Europe, but they are by no means typical of the American woman. 1930, Bell Syndicate.)

Perhaps two lovers will go off by themselves to a clearing, light a bon fire and perform the curious custom alone. The young lad leaps boldly through the fire. If unscathed he smiles happily back through the tall, red tongues of heat to where his sweetheart stands preparing to Jump. Her lover braces his legs and, with arms outstretched, is ready to receive her when she comes hurtling through the flames. If her flight is so swift that she is unsmlrched, both are overjoyed.

They kiss tenderly, worshipfully, and set off for their homes, hand in hand, firmly believing that they will be married within a year.

Nearly every home has one tied up beside the fireplace. The snappy little creature Is a regular little spitfire, and whenever the fire gets low he becomes angry and expectorates into the coals, whereupon the fire revives.

"Noisy" Telephone Wire Barred by Spinsters Two venerable spinsters of Vermont are going to be sadly disturbed when airplanes get to flitting numerously above their roof, says the Boston Globe.

Recently a new summer resident who has built a house near theirs wished to run a telephone wire from his house to the village and found that its best line lay over the cottage occupied by the maiden ladies. His quest to so run it met with this response "We should be glad to accommodate our new neighbor In every way we can, but ours Is a very quiet home. We won't even allow a radio In it, and the noise made by people talking by telephone over our heads would be too annoying for us to consider it."
