Men are what women marry. They have two feet, two hands and sometimes two wives. but never more than one dollar or one idea at a time. Like Turkish cigarettes, men are' an made of the same material, the only difference Is that some are better disguised than others. Making a husband out of a man is one of the highest plastic arts known t0 civilization. ' It requires silence, | sculpture, common sense, faith, hope and charity. it is psychological marvel that a soft, tiUit'y, tender, violet scented, I sweet little thing like woman should enjoy kissing a big awkward, stubby chinned, tobacco and bay-rum scent, ed thing like a man. If you flatter a man, it frightens him to death, and if you don't you bore him to death. If you permit him to make love to you h? get# tired 1 you in the .end, and if you don't, he gets tirid of you in the beginning.! If you believe him in everything, you soon cease to interest him,, and if you argue with him in everything you soon cease to oharm him. If you believe all he tells you, he thinks you are a fool, ii you don't he thinks you are a c,nic. If you have bobbed hair, and wear say colors, and rouge and a start ling hat, he hesitates to take you out. and if you wear a little brown toquue and tailor made suit, he takes you out and stares all evening at a woman in gay colors. ?If you are popular with other men, he is jealous, and if you are not, he hesitates to marry a wall flower. | A Trvon cirl wen* to church with a girl friend, in Spartanburg.

The Spartanburg Herald in a re. cent editorial says: "Back of the announcement of the organization of the Hog Back Mountain Club there lurks some of the most interesting plans for the development of a region of the S(|uth Carolina mountains yet Cor. mulated by those wh0 are entho. a last a upon the subject of bringing the mountains of that region Into their own. Practically the whole of that interesting mountain has been purchased br Mr. R. C# Rem. ick and his associates and their plans contemplate a real develop, ment of that region. Hog Baca Mountain is in South Carolina, the great mountain with an elevation of something over three thousand feet, sanding to the west of the highway from Spartanburg to Tryon, It is accessible from Tryon by horseback, but cannot be reached it -OBI ' nine by motor -TB^-WKraiC tain formed the background for the artillery range of the Twenty, seventh Division during the World War and against its mighty slopes many shells broke in practice tor the grim business that followed abroad, ^ The development of the Hog Back region has been a dream of many for a generation and that it is now underway means much to Spartanburg, Tryon and upper South Carolina." The club property includes about 1000 acres which will be devoted to the club gtbunds, and for the cottage sites of club members; also the essential club cabins and bung, alows. Close to 3000 acres have been set apart 'or a fishing and shooting preserve. The emphasis on this phase of outdoor club life cannot be too strongly stressed.

S. when, as a matter of fact, he was "of African descent and. therefore, incapable ot becoming a citizen of the United States " The basis of this conten. tion is that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was never legally ratified by three fourths of .the states. It was submitted, it is charged by a Congress from which ?he Southern States were excluded. Also' it is said, the six. Southern states which ratified it . did so "under compulsion" and New Jerse, and others withdrew their ratifica. 1 ?The validity of the 14th Amend ment has frequently been discussed as an acad^ic question.

It need not be expected that his tongue will loosen up to any great extent, or that any of his habits of a life time will be of a sudden changed, but. in his attitude toward the ad. ministering of the affairs of the Government will have upon them his o.vn trade-mark. He believes that the big majority by which his lirst term in the White House was approved by the people has given him a mandate to govern the United States in his own way and according" 10 big own policies.

There is not expected to be much leglstation out of this ohort session. In both the Senate and House there still exists those slender Republican majorities which ? were the cause of so much trouble Co the Administration last Spring when the tax reduction legislation was under consideration. Some tax measure will be discussed by the dying Congress, but action on the Mellon plan is not expected lor u. . jther year. There will be also some legislation having to do with the .arming industry and the usual ap propriation bills, now nearkig com. pletion by the Budget Bureau, APPARENTLY UNDISMAYED by going down to defeat with Senator LaFollette officers f the American Federation of Labor are seriously considering the abandonment of tlieir policy of "non_partisan politL cal action" as the first step in the formation in this country of a new political party modeled after the So. jialist_Labor Party of Gre;<t Britian, * Although a Democrat for many Although a Democrat for many years, Samuel Gompera. president of ihe federation, Is said to be In favor jf such a move. If such a party is wormed it would probably go into he presidential campaign in ? 1928 ? with its own candidate as it did this , ear with LaFollette.

His position is that the Post Office will incur a deficit unless the department's income is permitted to increase in proportion to any addi. tional outgo. This means that many newspaper publishers will find themselves bppdsed to the pay in crease proposal as increased postal rates in the classes designated by New will result in increased news, paper expenses. It is one of the problems that Congress will v have to tackle next month. .
