Dumb Things”
RULES
No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides of paper printed.
All letters not to exceed 150 to 200 words.
Dear Children: lam just about catching up with my back let
ters. You have noticed by dates how long I have had some of them,
and I hope that I will never get so far behind again.
I want to call your attention to the rules at the top of our col
umn.
Idya Howell, if your pearls were in oysters that had been cooked
they have no value. If they were taken from raw oysters, send them,
with sufficient postage, insured, to cover their retturn, either to me
or to your nearest reputable jeweler for valuation. I would be glad
to attend to it for you, although you might hear sooner if you have
jaweler near you. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit another South Carolina girl into your
happy band? I have been a silent reader
of the letter box for a good, long while,
and as the business is not quote so rushing
today I thought I would write yo\i all a
few lines. Well, to begin with, how many
of you all would like my work? I am
agent and telegraph operator for the
Charleston and Western Carolina Railroad
company here. Sure keep busy sending and
receiving messages, selling tickets, deliv
ering freight, etc. Well, folks, as this is
my first attempt. I’ll describe myself and
make a home run. so you all won't have it
to do. I am five feet six inches tall, weigh
135 pounds, have black hair, brown eyes
and medium complexion. Guess my age,
between 16 and 19. Well I must say good
by. Your new cousin.
LUCILLE McKELLAR.
Jackson, 8. C., P. 0. Box 32.
P. S.—lnclosed please find 25 cents for
the French baby, and also I would enjoy
hearing from any of the cousins.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please let a little Alabama girl join your
happy band of girls and boys? I have been
wanting to write to the letter box for a
long time but just could not pick up the
courage to do so. I, like most of the cous
ins, live on a farm and like it fine. Most
all the cousins describe themselves, but I
will not, but will tell you my age: Am
eleven years old and in the fifth grade in
school. I love to go to school and Sunday
school. I also belong to the Junior B. Y.
P. U. and the Sunbeam band. I want to
be good and kind to everybody and every
thing. especially to all dumb animals. I
hope this escapes the wastebasket. If it
does, I will come again. Your new cousin,
IDA MAE DUKE.
Cragford, Ala., Route 1.
Dear Aunt Julia: May I drop my letter
into the box? I have written once before
and decided to write again. I have seen
so many nice letters in the box from Geor
gia. My father is contemplating going to
Alabama, and I don’t like that, for I love
old Georgia. How many of you cousins like
to sew? I sure do. I am making a quilt,
which I guess a lot of you cousins have
made. What are you all doing during vaca
tion? I’ll tell you my fun: I live close
to the Chattooga river and I go in bath
ing most every day. I am learning to
swim. Aunt Julia, will you please publish
Yvonne’s picture once more, as I did not
get to see it before? Well, my letter is
getting lengthy. I will close, asking all
you eonsins to write to me (boys and girls
both). Your little Georgia friend,
(MISS) OBERA GLENN.
Summerville, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May a
stranger come in and join your happy band.
I am from the dear old state of North
Carolina. I have been reading almost all
the letters and seeing the great work you
were doing. I wrote once before, but I
suppose I addressed it wrong. But I have
gotten a nice girl correspondent through
the letter sent, and have written to Mr.
Cl aries F. Ward, although I don’t believe
in writing to boys first, especially to
strangers, but I learned in today’s paper
that he got so many letters that he couldn’t
answer them all. It is not a very good
rule to describe yourself, but as I am a
stranger I will tell how I look; dark blue
eyes; long, golden, curly hair: 5 feet 3
inches tall; weigh 110 pounds; am 19 years
old.
Lovingly,
EVA STEWART,
Gloucester. N. C.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: How are
you all feeling this morning. Hope all are
doing fine, for 1 know I sure am. Just
thought I would rund around to see how*
you all were getting along, but as I see ;
all are doing fine. I'll just make my visit .
shorter. I’ve just come back from my ,
auntie's and I sure enjoyed myself.
The protracted meeting will start at
our church in about two weeks. Wish
sciae of your cousins were here to go with
us some.
Now. Aunt Julia, please don’t give me
too bad a scolding for writing to the
letter Box too often, for I just like to
write to it. I won’t ruin my letter by
describing myself, Aun Julia. I hope you
will print my letter as scon as you can,
and then I won’t bother you tny more for
quite a while. Will close with love aiid best
wishes to each and every one of you.
Your little friend,
SARA G. MYERS.

Dear Aunt Julia and All: I will write a
few lines to our grand circle this cloudy
afternoon while I’ve nothing else to do. It
has been real hot and dusty here for the
past few weeks, but we have had some
real nice rains, yesterday and today. Say,
cousins, I’ve an idea and I v think it would
be real interesting, that is to write about
our towns or cities and tell how they were
named. I live about six miles from Mat
thews, two miles from Indian Trail and one
mile from the small village of Stouts, where
I go to school. Matthews was named aft
er a man of that name, and Indian Trail
was named for a trail that went through
that country. I guess Stouts was named
after a man there. I am fifteen years of
age and would like to get mail from girls
and boys around that age. As I am in
hopes this little ipissive will be printed, I
will bring this to a close an dmake room
for someone else. Cousins, let’s try to
write interesting letters and not take up
much space with our descriptions. I just
love to read the interesting letters that
have subjects Lovingly,
DEANE RITCH.

Dear Aunt Julia: This rainy morning
finds me trying to write your merry corner
again. What are all of you cousins doing
now? I am not doing very much. I cer
tainly do think Aunt Julia is doing great
work for the French orphan, but like some
of the other cousins. I think she ought to
help some little American orphan, for now
is a very hard time, and there are many
little children in America who are needing
care as well as those over in France. We
are going into harvesting before long and I
have to help in the field as well as in the
house. Suppose other girls have to do the
same work. How many of you cousins
have my birthday, which is August 5? I
will be sweet sixteen my next birthday. I
certainly do enjoy reading The Atlanta
Journal. Aunt Julia’s letter box comes first
for me to read and there are many inter
esting letters in the letter box. Come
again. Ruby Freeman and Mr. H. H. Hop
kins, your letters were just grand. Well,
cousins, my letter is rather lengthy and I
suppose Mr. W. B. will be hungry, but I
hope he misses this. Any of you cousins
who want to correspond with a West Vir
ginia girl, let your letters fly to
(MISS) KITTIE PROPST.
Bridgeport, W. Va.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: How are
you folks feeling today? I bet the sun is
making most of you feel good, isn’t it? I
have written the letter box before but my
letter was not printed. Aunt Julia, you
don’t publish drawings, do you? I am
crazy about drawing. I am a girl of six
teen, dark hair, fair complexion. Do any
of you like my description well enough to
write me? If you do, then you are at lib
erty to do so. You all should be here to
attend the meetings with me. We are
having a union meeting and getting along
nicely with it. If any of you cousins can
get the songs. “Sweet and Low” and
“Freckles.” I certainly will appreciate
them. I like music. Have been taking les
sons a long time and I think these are
the prettiest songs I most ever heard. I
won’t take up any more space and will
come again. Lovingly,
LILLA WOODSON.
Sturgis, Miss. <
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have been
a silent admirer of the letter box for quite
a while, so I have decided to join your
happv band of boys and girls. I am a
Florida girl, but I am staying in Georgia
at the present. I think Prior Hurst’s sug
gestion is une. My ambition is to be a
school teacher. I wonder if any of the oth
er cousins have the same ambition? If so,
I would like to exchange letters with them.
I dare not describe myself for fear you
will all run away. I am twelve years
old. Who has my birthday, October 1?
Auntie, I want you and all the cousins to
write to
BENNY ARDEN BROWN.
Hickox. Ga., Route 2, Box 44.
p. s.—inclosed you will find 5 cents for
the little orphan baby. I will write again
and send more.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am
knocking again. This is my third attempt
to gain admittance into your happy circle,
so please, please, let me in this time. I
am keeping house for my father and three
brothers; my mother is dead and I am the
only girl, so you see I get very lonesome
THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. 1 ELTON
Primary Election Day
When I woke up this morning
(September 8) the clouds hung I eavy
and forecasted a wet day. Inside of
an hour the rain began to fall. Tn
very crowded communities like New
York or Chicago a rain on election
day is a serious setback and gener
ally means a small vote at the polls.
In the south, “down in Georgia,” it
generally stands for a full vote, es
pecially with outdoor laborers, who
cannot perform their out-of-door
tasks. If there is nothing doing to
make wages then they are ready
to participate and vote.
As the campaign for the United
States senate and for governor has
been a heated one, the day promises
to be stormy in more ways than
one. Some of us will be glad when
this primary Is over with. It is
likely to leave many wounds, no mat
ter how it goes. Also it will have its
effec. in the November election. It
will cut a wide swath in the election
for national offices.
The primary of today will virtually
settle the state election, but the
real election on November 2 is still
an open forum for voters for two
months to come.
Unless today’s primary is perfect
ly fair at and around the ballot box
there will be opportunity for protest.
The heat, fury and unlimited abuse
of candidates will not tolerate any
fraud or stuffed ballot boxes. This
is a so-called white primary.
It demands clean handling and an
honest county. Otherwise there will
never be another such a primary in
the state of Georgia under Demo
cratic rulings.
Controlling the colored vote is one
thing, suppressing a white man's
ballot privilege is another. You
know that. So do I.
The time was. when I was much
vounger than today, that it was con
sidered smart tactics to manipulate
ballot boxes on election day. I lived
then, and still live, in a congression
al district where the grossest frauds
were perpetrated on election day,
condoned under the plea of “white
supremacy.” Such tactics always
sowed the seeds of discord and be
smirched the perpetrators.
In conclusion, I am hoping that
Georgia in 1920 has an honest set of
men to count the ballots cast by
white men today. I am hoping also
that there will be no disorder at the
polls. Bloodshed among humans is
a bad thing, no matter where it is
exploited. I am hoping that liquor
will be suppressed, but I am told that
my county is full of it, and sold in
Coca-Cola bottles at ?3.00 a half
pint. I went in .person to our sheriff
and so informed nim. If he was cor
rect when he told me “it was so, ana
couldn’t be helped," I am afraid our
law enforcement against liquor is a
dead letter.
WHAT ABOUT THIS -JUMPING
COTTON MARKET?
The newspapers informed us on
yesterday that cotton jumped seven
dollars a bale. When a bale
weighs 500, and jumps a cent a
pound it means $5 per bale. There
fore the hoist upwards was one and
a half cents on each pound of mid
dling cotton. I have discovered that
cotton traders went nearly wild,
when the bears hammered cotton
down to 35 cents. They bought all
in sight and in reach. If they sold
what they bought last week at the
price yesterday, they have a tull
pocket, easily made, and with no
labor to show for the profit
Os course they had anxiety. The
gambler at Monte Carlo ——has anx
iety—but he continues to rake in
the cash —eh!
These cotton speculators, made
more out of that rise of W
than the producer will make, who
owned the land, plowed the soil and
paid all expenses in preparing the
staple for the sale.
Thus the World Wags
Thus the big fish eat up the lit
tle ones. Thus the many are placed
in serfdom, to the powerful few,
who can bull and bear the cotton
market —and all other staples that
are necessary to human existence.
It has been so since I have known
the world. I guess It will always
be so, so long as human nature is
what it is.
and blue sometimes. Will describe myself
and go: I have brown hair, medium dark
eyes, fair complexion, *i?ck eyebrows,
weigh 105 pounds and am 5 feet 2 inches
tall. There! When you all get through
laughing let me know. Your loving nelce
and counsin, ADA FLOWE.

Good Afternono Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Just a few minutes’ chat with you and I
will be gone. Maybe it is time for Mr.
Waste Basket to take an afternoon walk, or
at least I hope so, for I don’t think he has
any business arount Aunt Julia’s of?ce any
way. How many of you cousins agree
with me. I received several cards and let
ters, but haven’t answered all of them yet.
Louise Fisher and Jewel Baily, why don’t
you write to the Letter Box? I will answer
your letters soon. Well, i guess I better
ring off, as Aunt Julia has a few rules
printed. You (girls) must write to me. i
will answer all I get from girls, so let
your letters fly to,

Brewton, Ala., July 27, 1920.
Dear Aunt Julia: I have been reading
your page for a long, long time and I have
enjoyed the letters so much. I think this
is one of the greatest ways to get ac
quainted with the people as through their
letters, we get their ideals and ambi
tions. I have never written to Aunt Julia’s
letter box before, but I wrote to the Violet
Corner in the “Home and Farm.” I don’t
suppose any of you remember me, as it has
been several years ago. Now, I suppose
some of yotj will form the opinion that I
am an “old’maid,” but 1 am just twenty.
I am very fond o. athletics, especially
basket ball. T am a great lover of music
and flowers. Roses and carnations are my
favorite flowers an-, my favorite books
are "The Rosary” and “The Daughter of
Land.” There are so many things in life
which are given us to enjoy, but so many
of us do not know the value of them and,
therefore, we do not enjoy and appreciate
as we should. I must stop and leave space
for others. Will answer all cards and let
ters received. ETTA DAY.
Brewton. Ala., Route C.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Rain!
rain all day here. Why. no wonder it’s
raining so. it’s rainy season now. cousins.
Well. well, auntie, this is the fourth time
I have written to the letter box and I am
going to keep on writing until I get a let
ter printed. Cousins, how do you like the
title. “Help for the Helpless. Kindness to
All Dumb Things” at the head of our col
umn? I like it fine. Alice Mae Holton,
why don't you answer the card I wrote you?
Look here, cousins, my birthday comes Sep
tember 12, 1920. and I want a card and
letter shower. I will be thirteen years old
my next birthday. Morningglory is my
birth flower. I will be in the sixth grade
at school next term. Our school will start
September 1. 1920. Aunt Julia. please,
please don’t let the W. B. get this. Hope
you cousins won’t forget a lonely Florida
girl. Lovingly.
(MISS) WILLIE MAE ARNOLD.
Nocatee. Fla.
P. S.—Aunt Julia, let’s have a “Flower
Special,” in which every cousins can tell
all they can about flowers of different
kinds. Then if there are people who don’t
know about flowers, they could read what
we write about them. Thank you if you
will. I am sure it would be interesting.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Here comes another girl for advice.
I will be 14 in March. Am I old
enough to write to the boys? I am
mighty large for my age. I was go
ing with a boy and was writing to
another boy, too. He found it out
and got mad. I spoke to him, but
he wouldn’t speak. Now he
to go with me. What can I do.
Is it right for a boy to call a
girl sister? And ask how old she
is?
Am I too young to wear my hair
in puffs? How can I fix it, as my
hair is so short?
What does a boy mean when he
winks at a girl? If a girl asks a
boy three or four times for his pic
ture and he doesn’t say anything,
what should she do? Please don’t
think I have marriage in my head,
for I have not.
Do I write good?
Please answer all my questions
through The Journal.
From,
“BABY BROWN EYES.”
At your age boys and girls get
angry and make up, at intervals,
so it doesn’t mean anything. If
you like the boy well enough, for
give his little jealousies, and let
him be on friendly terms. There
is no harm in a boy calling you
sister. And you aren’t old enough
yet to be ashamed of your age.
The young girls in society up to
18 are wearing bobbed hair,
combed out bushy in the back.
But if one has nice, soft, long
hair, it would be a pity to cut it
off. Pay no attention to the
boy’s winks except to call him
silly, for it really is a silly thing
to indulge in. You shouldn’t ask
boys for their pictures, it might
embarrass them. If they want
you to have their photograph
they will hand it over with
pleasure.
Your handwriting is very good.
Dear Mrs. Meredith: I am coming
to you for advice. I am just crazy
about a boy only seventeen. He is
as nice as can be. I think every
body likes him and speaks well of
him. He lives not so very far from
me. He has a sister that I think
lots of and I think she likes me. 1
went to prayer meeting the other
night and lie uidn’t even . speak to me,
and I don’t know what was the mat
ter with him. I know I have not
done anything to make him not speak
to me. What should I do about it?
And how can I make him love me?
Sometirnes he acts like the loves me
and then again he acts line he doesn’t
care anything about me? 1 thina tie
loves me, but he just doesn’t want to
show it. I don’t know whether he
cares anything about any other girls
or not; he never has said. But I just
dearly love him. Thanking you for
your advice. CURLY LOCKS.
The troubles with you, you
have let that boy see how “crazy”
you are about him. You have
been in his path every time he
landed on the sidewalk; he has
seen you, everywhere, at times
when he wished you were at the
north pole. Do you know that is
the surest way in the world to
make a man despise a woman,
or the male the female? Do not
let him see you so often; keep
out of his way. Don’t tell anyone
how crazy you are about him.
Treat him pleasantly and refrain
from questioning him when you
do see him. Talk about pleasant
things, and then he will take a
real sidelong glance at you and
realize that you are attractive,
after all. Let him be the hunter
in the chase.
Miss Mary I am coming to you
for advice. I am a lonely girl of
12 years old. I am in love with a
boy 14 years old. He seems to love

er does not want me to go with this
boy. I have been with him
twice. He said he loved me dearly.
We go to school together and he
wanted me to kiss him and I did.
Do you think I did right to kiss him?
He said he would wait on me for

You should listen to your
mother. She has your welfare
at heart, and is your best friend.
You are entirely too young to
know anything about love. And
you will forget all about this
“love affair” on the opening of
next spring’s flowers. You
should be 21, in order to have
sense enough to marry; you
should be able to wear most
any color. Young girls do not
have to bother much about col
ors. They look sweet in most
anything, if they are clean.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
CONCERNING KISSES
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer
(Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)
THE other day a woman applied
to the court for an order re
straining her husband from
kissing her so often. She said
that he kissed her 300 times a da”
and she was fed up on kisses, and
satisfied with demonstrations of af
fection, and desired a surcease of
them.
‘‘Women are queer creatures, and
there is no satisfying them,” sighed
the magistrate as he signed an in
junction against the overly affec
tionate husband, “most women who
come to this court corapaiin that
they are not kissed enough, and
want the law to make their hus
bands kiss them oftener.”
And there you are, up against one
of the biggest problems of matri
mony, which is to fix the proper
number of kisses which should con
stitute the daily menu in a happy
household, and preserve the nice bal
ance which makes kisses plentiful
enough and yet keeps them in the
sweetmeat class.
For, alas, we have no Sentimental
Hoover to ration kisses, and tell us
just how many per diem constitute
romantic profiteering, or how few
will starve affection to death, or
just what amount of osculation :r
requires to keep a woman’s heart
nourished without its cloying on her
palate, and making her cry out with
Solomon: “Feed me on apples. Stay
me with flaggons, for I am sick of
love.”
Os course, this attempt to regulate
the amount of kissing is of no in
terest to the great majority of mar
ried men, except as they are inter
ested in any protective measure for
their own greater safety and peace.
Most married men hand out the daily
domestic kiss j.ust as they put light
ning rods on their houses—to aver’
the consequences of storms. And
they are in no danger whatever of
overdoing it, or forcing their wives
to call for help.
The average man does all of the
kissing in which he takes an active
personal interest in the days be
fore marriage when he has to steal
a kiss or beg for one. When it be
comes his legal duty to kiss a
woman every time he comes and
goes, he does it in the Same spirit
in which he pays the grocery bill.
Kissing has become merely a part
of matrimony, one of its obliga
tions, and he meets it like a man.
Heaven knows he is'no welcher.
Why women lay such stress"on be
ing kissed husbands never figure out.
Neither does anybody else. No wom
an could tell you, to save her life,
why she fee]s ill-used or neglected
if her husband fails to give her a
peck on the cheek when he starts
forth to business of a morning. Still
less does she know why she makes
the number of his kisses a test of
love.
She does, however, and it is a fact
that a woman will believe that the
man who beats and starves her, and
makes her work to support him,
loves her devotedly if he kisses her
twenty times a day, while she will
doubt the affection of a husband who
works himself to death to indulge
her in luxuries if he happens to be
a poor kisser.
Certainly nothing more unromantic
or unsentimental than the matutinal
kiss with which women insist on be
ginning the day can be imagined.
For nobody has a heart or a soul at
breakfast time. These are organs we
develop later in the day. Early in
the morning we are nothing but
stomach anfd brains and hands.
We are eager to get to work. We
are full of plans of action. We are
not thinking of our fellngs, or dwell
ing upon the state of our affections.
And we dr n’t want to kiss; we want
our coffee and to get busy.
And, although they don’t know it.
women are no more in the mood for
kissing than are men. If you will
notice, you will observe that a wom
an always turns tne back of her
head, or her left ear to her hus

” The multitude of American women who suffer terribly day after day
and year after year from ills peculiar to their sex is almost beyond belief V
\ —yet there is hardly a town or hamlet in the United States wherein ’
some woman, and often many, do not reside who have been restored -
to health from some of the worst forms of female ills, and often avoided C*

doesn’t even take down her curl
papers to receive it, so little heart
interest has she in it. And no wom
an who wanted a kiss, or expected to
thrill to one, would fail to provide
the proper scenery.
The truth is, we cannot do any
thing every day without its becoming
a habit. Nor can we do anything
that we are expected to do, and re
minded of if we forget it, and called
down for if we don’t do it, without
our coming to look upon it as a duty,
and which we loathe because it is a
duty. N. r is there anything of which
we so soon become satiated as too
much sweets. No candy maker ever
eats chocolate creams.
If wives would only remember
these few elementary peculiarities of
human nature and call off the daily
kiss, and make their other kisses
few and far apart, and something to
be sought instead of being thrust
upon their husbands, 4hey would
give their husbands interests in kiss
ing and occasionally get a kiss that
had the old-time flavor.
Women do well to apply ■‘he acid
test to kisses, anyhow. Judas be
trayed his Lord with a kiss, and
thousands of men betray women the
same every day. For there is no such
way to blind a woman as to kiss her
eyes shut.
As a rule, the more a man kisses,
the less he is to be trusted. So be
ware, ladies, of the kissing bug!

and her smile worked automatically;
her clothes were “just right,” and
he rfavorite color was pink
She loved Ethel Barrymore, was
“crazy” about golf, doted on Douglas
Fairbanks, and was “passionately
fond of maple fudge, Mischa Elman,
old mahogany, and May Sinclair.
Yea, unto her, a “Thesaurus” was
an extinct animal, and a dictionary
merely something to stand on when
talking at the telephone
And all her days were pleasant
and placid, and her dancing-partners
and her flirtations sufficient to make
life interesting.
And those who came near her
were strangely soothed and comfort
ed.
For marriage was her mecca. and
she had never been troubled with a
“mission,” nor with a pang of ar
tistic temperament
Now, it came to pass, that a vil
lain espied her, and was smitten with
an evil desire to wreck her happi
ness.
For, behold, he wooed her with aft
ernoon tea, and serpentine flatteries,
saying:
“Why dost thou hide thy light un
der a bushel of commonplaceness?
“Yea, why hast thou never sought
to ‘express thyself’?
“For 10, thou hast personality—•
and such a ’bright mind’!” \
And the scales fell from the dam
sel’s eyes, and she was bitten!
And, straightway, she hastened
' unto a barber shoii, and was bob
bed.”
And thereafter she appeared, ar
rayed in garments which seemed to
have been designed in a bad temper,
and donned in a wind-storm.
And, wheresoever she read a “clev
er thing,” she learned it by heart,
and quoted it from beginning to the
end. Lo, when men called upon her
she read them passages from the
poets, and spake fervently of ‘com
plexes,” and “automatic writing,”
and her soul!
And they fled from her in confu
sion, and returned no more..
But her women friends were Strick
er. with terror, and said:
“For heaven’s sake!”
And, it came to pass, that the
damsel was cast out amongst the
free verse poets, where there are
no eligibles, and no marrying men.
And she ended her days in a job
and a studio-flat!
Verily, verily, nothing more cruel,
nothing more trogic, nothing more
terrible can happen to a “nice girl"
than to be told that she possesseth
a “bright mind!”
For these were the words of the
serpent, when he offered the apple
unto Eve.
And the woman fell for it.
And look at her. now!
