I as Louisiana, Tuesday, September 6. 1955 DAILY WORLD Page 13 Fairly Spoken It's Not Ladylike To Be Seen Toting By MARGARET LATROBE "Never let a man see you pick up a weighty object." That was the very shrewd advice in one of the first charming booklets. And a truer word was never spoke. The words to take special note of in the quote are- you." Women are for the most part well a- NO. ware of the value of the advice.

It's one out thing to toss several 50- pound small LATROBE fry into bed, out of bed, but LATROBE please ladies, never be caught carrying a 50-lb. bag of potatoes. Let the old man do that. When the chivalrous grocer waves Madame out of his store, carrying her week's purchases himself, is she going to stop him? When she gets the celery and canned goods home, of course, she will shoulder the burden and head for the kitchen. But never should she, never would she, let the grocer SEE her carying anything heavier than a jelly jar.

This is the usual thing. But some girls never learn. I see that a young lad named Joan Rhodes is fast acquiring the reputation of "'world's strongest Joanie can break steel nails in twain, lift 360-pound barbells, and hoist heavenward a table with five men standing thereon. And now she wonders why the fellows don't propose. Then last year some individual thought of a positively ingenious scheme to publicize career girls.

An African safari, it was, with field hats, boots and muskets. Precision sights on them there guns, the better to seelions with, my dear. Whether they journeyed forth to the bush, or whether they got et up and died in the jungles of blackest Africa, I don't know. And neither does anyone except their immediate families. Why? We aren't interested in feminine ver sions of liong -stalking.

OsaJ Johnson did all right with big game hunting but that was different. She had husband Martin along, and don't tell me he didn't help her with the shootin' irons. So, let Daddy pick up dropped kerchiefs for you, lady, and don't let on who moved the piano. There is a vast difference in doing the deed and being SEEN doing the deed.

1955 3t 1923 near Tabriz, Iran. Among them were several types of silver drachmas issued by Orodes the only Parthian king whom Caley believes was guilty of serious coin debasement. Under Orodes, the silver content of coins dropped as low as 40 per cent. well under that of coins before and after his reign. Caley thinks this was the result of a struggle for power between Orodes and his brother Mithradates III, who alternated on the throne until the latter died in 54 B.C.

Military campaigns against the Roman Empire and Syria also were thought to be contributing factors. "It may well have been that the available supply of pure silver could not keep pace with the increased demand for coins during the reign of Orodes," Caley said.
