MAGNETIC MABEL'S MAIL
She Tells ’'Em ,
Dear Mabel: I am greatly ‘dis
tressed at a seeming coldness on
the part of my husband. When we
were first married and I was a slen
der slip of a girl, he was very dem
onstrative. He always called me
“little one” and would hold mo on
his knees for hours. We were so
happy. I am now twice the woman
I was then. I weigh in at 200 lbs.,
yet he no longer holds me on his knee
and never calls me littleone. He has
no call to freeze up on me, the mis
erable little worm —he only weighs
115 lbs. on the hoof. I’ll give you
my word he’s not so much to look at.
Between you and me, Mabel—mind
you, I say this entirely without mal
ice—he’s a hair stripe. He should
grow cold and hand me the Klondike
shimmy. I’d can him tomorrow on
ly he’s a real good check signer. I’ll
hand him that. You know all about
men and their weighs, Mabel. What
would you do?
ELFIE D.
Dear Elfie: You must have ’ined
up against an awful proposition. Any
man who will cease holding his 200
lb. wife on his 115 lb. knee must be
a waster —and beef so expensive and
all. The only thing to do, if you
want to hang on Henry, is to reduce.
He doesn’t seem to appreciate vol
ume. Reduce! Not all over at once,
but an inch at a time. Read all the
ads. Buy everything that comes in
bottles for that purpose. Wear ev
ery appliance that is recommended
from an assafoetida amulet to a rub
ber union suit. Take something in
wardly and rub something on the
outside. If you’re not reduced in
tonnage, you will be in purse. Then,
all else failing, try holding the
thought. MABEL.

SCOUTS MOBILIZE AUTHORS
TO FIGHT DIME NOV.ELS
AFTER years of undisputed
sway, the behind - the - barn
. type of fiction for boys is
; facing strong and determined opposi
■ tion.
[ A gift of SIOO,OOO to the National
Council of the Boy Scouts is to be
* used to drive out pot-boilers, dime
novels, and all the mass of Dead-
Eye-Dick-and-his-kin cheap thrillers.
The most important method used
will be the substitution of good fic
tion, written by the best of Ameri
can authors, for the poorly written
* and essentially cheap hack written
story. The first step will be made
by building "Boy’s Life” into a
national publication, reaching beyond
the present limit* of Boy Scout
membership.
> Discussing the $109,000 gift, Chief
Scout Executive James E. West
said:
"The time has gone by when writ
ing for boys can be hack writing.
, The modern boy spots things worth
j while instinctively. You can not
| fool him about ‘Xryuure Island.'
$
for example. He knows it is a good
book. •*
“It is obligatory among those
who would be leaders among boys
to evolve a writing output that will
be safe from the standpoint of the
grownups and interesting—intensely,
interesting—from the standpoint of;
the boy. Writing for bovs is ati>
occupation that properly challenges'
the genius of the entire writing
fraternity.
“The general proposition on the
basis of which we are working is
that the boy is naturally a construc
tor—a builder. Moreover, modern
science opens up vistas down which
( a clever writer can travel with the
boy reader, encountering thrill s
enough to satisfy the most exacting
juvenile audience.
“We have already arranged with
Arthur B. Reeve for a scries of
Craig Kennedy stories to be pub
lished in ‘Boy’s Life.’ *‘The Radio
Detective’ is to be the title. For
this series modern science will sup
ply the facts, while Reeve and ths
boys will supply the thrills.”
