DON’T FORGIT YER SMILE
You just gotta keep smilin’
Although its hard they say,
When you are shy the jack to buy
The things you need today.
You may get the inflooenzie
The measles or the mumps,
Smile just the same and play the
game!
Don’t never get the dumps
A glum and grouchy attitoode
And a peevish, sad profile
Ain’t in it for js minit
With a happy, cheery smile.
You just keep smilin’
Don’t never cry nor sob—
All thru the yea* keep full of cheer
E'en though you lose your job.
And if you think your town ain’t
right
And things have gone to pot
Jest start right in a ad boost like
sin,
It sure will help a let
No matter what befalls you
This life is well worth while,
Just face the world with lips un
curled
And don’t fergit yer smile.

Notes About Women
An American citizen has just been
decorated by the King of Norway
with the Royal Service medal, th. ;
first American to receive such an
honor. Not only that, but the citi
zen so decorated was a woman. Mme.
Maia Bang, who was formerly a
Norwegian, but who has become an
American citizen and is a violinist of
note, is the person so honored.
Mme. Bang came to this country
six years ago and won instant fame
as a violinist: She" says -it wtuiil
have taken her a much longer time
to have attained the same success in
her native country and that the
United States is the mecca of Nor
wegians. Mme. Bang lives in New
York City.
Woman occupies a large place in
the musical world. Besides the count
less professional singers and instru
mentalists in the country there are
many composers, concert managers
and teachers. There are 3,415 wom
en acting as music supervisors in the
public schools of the country. The
state of Pennsylvania has the most,
600, while Utah has only one. There
are also 268 women acting directors
who are associate directors of re
putable music schools or music de
partments in colleges and universi
ties, and there are 28 women or
chestra directors in this country.
Two women manage symphony
orchestras, Mrs. Adelia Prentiss
Hughes of Cleveland and Mrs. Ben
Coffin of Kansas City. Pearl Brice
conducts a woman’s symphony or
chestra in Milwaukee and there is a
movement on foot to organize a pro
fessional woman’s symphony orches
tra which will be the first of its kind
in the world.
Mme. Adrienne Bolland, most
prominent of French women fliers,
recently finished an eleven-day tour
ist airplane competition in a tie with
ten male fliers. She covered the dis
tance of 1,300 miles in 18 flights half
way around France, but is entitled to
fifth place in the race because of the
difference in her plane’s motor power
and the weight carried.
After a year spent in Asia Minor,
wandering about with' 1 various tribes,
eating their food and living in their
homes, Mrs. Marguerite E. Harrison,
author and traveler, recently te
tumed to this country, bringing with
her several reels of motion pictures
and dozens of notebooks filled with
stories of adventure. One of the
interesting items in her notebook tells
of migrating with the Bakhtiari
tribes from the Persian Gulf across
the mountains to the central Persian

Flapping , _ Males _ g
Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 13.—The
cake-eaters and drug-store cowboys
of North Carolina received a severe
sfap on the wrist Monday when 25
self-styled ' “he-men” here announc
ed . that they . , had , organized . , the iiT Lea
gue for the Prevention of Male

to do with girls who bob their hair
like boys, and who “live on a bottle,”
They will potitively eat no cake and
will dress in a “he-man fashion, >»
barring bell-bottomed trousers and
form-fitting coats.
The organization, which is meet
ing with approval throughout the
city, is said to have been inspired
by Billy Sunday, who conducted 8
revival here last winter. Sunday
preached vehemently against the
wickedness of the younger genera
tion. .
The members, althougs they are
not of the rugged, red-bloded “he
pian” type generally associated with
tile wide open spaces, are thoroughly
convin ced that “ cake -eaters” and ef
ferninate .young-.men_ are-.responsihle
for the flapper era and. they believe
that by setting an example of modes
ty and sobriety, girl flappers will be
plateau near Ispahan. These no
madic people wander about the cou^
try seeking the best pasture land
their animals.
There are 75 women \who have
been ordained as ministers in the
Congregational church of the United
States , according to the latest year
book of the American churches.
Seventeen Of these women are in
sole charge of churches.

House Paint Once Banned
linseed oil was first made in New
York in 1715. Pigments were all Im
ported. In New England there was
much prejudice against the use of
paint, it beings considered a s ign of
worldltHesS and vanity.
•hi 1630 a clergyman In Charlestown,
■Mass., was haled before the council for
having the interior of his house paint
ed, and during the ensuing 40 years
there was not a painter in all New
England. Still, by 1759 the use of
paint had become general throughout
the country, the white house with
11 for m,ln . v years being the
co on form of exterior painting in
all iris of the United States. This
manner of painting frame houses is to
day enjoying popularity. In fact, in
some quarters this color scheme is
criticised as lacking individuality.
