Have i you ever felt the feeling
that comes to one after he has
sold himself an dhis proposition
to a loan broker* obtaining the de
sired loan?
Then you know some of the
agony that the person who so
strives for a loan undergoes.
The loan-broker may sit across
the desk from you, apparently not
half so interested in granting thee
as you are of making the borrow,
but he is getting your character^
tics.
As you face this keen, critical
eyed mdn, you are being weighed
in the balances, though you may
be unaware of it. He asks you
questions that give him an insight
to your character.
"Character is thd basis of all
loans,” says the several bankers
and credit men interviewed. The
would-be-borrower’s character is
read by his personal habits and
manners, his temperament, and his
reputation.

FACTORS

the business the borrower is in-
gaged in, and his success at same,

We are today talking continual
ly of the modem woman, her priv
ileges and future possibilities.
Among the women themselves we
frequently hear the expression, “I
am a free woman. I can do as I
please in this matter or that” or
“men have at last come to a true
realization of our capabilities.”
Among the men we hear such ex
pressions as “I don’t know what
is going to become of this old
world. The women are just try
ing to run everything,” or “It
just wasn't intended that women
should help in the ,(fairs of the
government, etc., etc. They aren't
capable of running OUR busi
ness.”
But what is the real status of
affairs today? That was the
question that arose in the' mind pf

student in sociology and jpsychol-
SENSIBLE OR SILLY?
A DEBATED QUESTION
DO MEN MARRY FACES?

BY ROSEMARY WHITTAKER.
Sensible pr silly? Thus goes
the much debated question.
Whether men marry women for
their brains or baby faces.
Rising in one body the male
population declares that brains
are the first essential to the wo
man of their choice, and an ab
solute essential to the ensnarer of
their affections.
Alas, inconstancy thy name is

ments to the contrary, the baby

Ancient records show that Cleo-
dia. Caesar, feeling the weight of
bis problems, left conjugal bliss
and carried his burdens to the
vampire of the Nile.
Do men want wives or business
partners? If the latter he usually

young clinging vine who opens
her eyes in wonder, stares in ad

and fondly imagining that she is
the only woman capable of under

RED HAIR
ENVY?
Women as a whole profees great,
envy of their red haired sisters.
One girl was heard to say that her
ambition iri life would be gratified
if she could have red hair and wear
green jade earrings and a green
dress to match.
The hair dressers statistic*-
that more henna is sold than blon-
dine and leas black dye than either,
so what is one to conclude?
The hair-net manufacturers can
not make enuf red hair nets. Ask
the girl at any department store
and she will tell you, "We simply
can't keep red hair nets.” %
One man was frank enuf to say
the hair had nothing to do with
it. We did not know whether he
was broad minded or whether his
girl had no hair.
Without a doubt the personal
bias does enter into the decision.
The men hate curly hair for them
selves but admit that "It looks fine
on tho girls.” So perhaps the sta
tistics are really true afer all that
the blonde is the "vamp” for if the
men vote for her they must. like
h*r and that must prove she is the

The bobbed style, like the short

both ghosts still linger and are,
very evident. Shorn hair is so com

the private desire of*■ every woman

"What fat men eat, is that the
question? Well I find that fat men
and women too <?at everything in
sight,” said the keeper of a local
Restaurant, in answer to a ques
tion concerning fat men.” It seems
as if they just can’t resist piling
up meats and the like, on their
plates,” he continued." Then they
always drink four or five glasses
of water. Fat people are always
hungry. Anu they are very severe
en anything sweet, especially
strawberry short-cake.”
Some men are born fat, some
achieve fatness and some have fat
ness thrust upon them. For the
first class we are rather sorry, but
for the last two classes we have not
tear of commiseration, in our
system.
We know an obese. man, who
weighs ^ couple of tons,,who drinks
a quart of razor soup daily, in or
der to cut down on his weight. W«r
never enjoy eating with that man
for fear lest he swallow the razon
soup the wrong way and it cuts his
throat.
Speaking of razors, reminds us of
an incident which happened in
South Georgia. "What kind of a hog
is that out there in the road,” we
asked a bystanding negro. "Hits a
fazorback, sah.” "Well what on
earth is he rubbing his back against
that tree, Tor,” was asked. "He’s
just stropping himself, suh, just
stropping hlsself,” was the laconic
reply.
The writer who by the way, is a
slender, sleek, handsome youn?
man who always has the eyes of
the fair sex fastened on his manly
form when he saunters casually
down the street, feels a cold dis-
dain for that type of heavyweight
who can’t even see Jiis own if
he had-one.
The writer’s best friend was very
fat until recently. We remember
on one occasion, when our landlady
offered thfs heavy friend $20.00
per month if he would quit eatiag
there at her house. She said he
would eat her out of business.

“Do women of Athens smoke?”
‘ (BY MARY MARTIN.)
It was more thaq fifteen years
ago—a year that has made lasting
impressions on many, when a
colored woman with a big idea
and assist from northern phil
anthropists started a small school
in the country. This woman had a
vision of the future for her race—
a vision that has grown with each
year: She went five miles from
Athens on the Danielsville road
and selected a suitable place. Per
haps, she had a reason for estab
lishing' a school in* that com
munity.
The. white people were antagon
istic. They threw every obstacle in
her way. Yet sfie fought on .After
many trials and tribulations she
finally succeeded in building two
houses. The place was named Set
tlement. This woman had soon se
cured the interest of the colored
people so as to get the children'in
school and interested in their
work.
When asked what were her aims
and reason for gong there she re
plied ,in a pleasant manner:
“My reason was service to my
race. One aim was to transform
renters into land-owners, and I
have done this to some extent. We
have two acres of land n the land
club. Another aim was ta make my
race more efficient so as to give
better service to employers, as
well as to my own race. My aim is
not race equality.”
