Mean btreak In Men
One Marriage Problem
\ --
Philadelphia.—The Rev. Ivan H,
Hagedorn, pastor of the Bethel
Lutheran Church, answers his own
question of “what’s the trouble
with men and women in modern
marriage”?
The trouble with men, he told a
meeting of couples he has married,
is :
1— They are impatient.
2— They are lazy.
3— They are skeptical.
4— They never seem to adjust
themselves to the new status of
women.
5— They are conceited.
•MEAN STREAK’
, - -fr—They have a mean streak of
taking for granted the constancy
of their wives.
7— They are unmindful of little
things.
8— They are too easily run into
a mould—a mould that won’t keep
shape.
Of women, he said:
They are too fond of regulat
ing men.
2— They have no sense of humor.
3— They are possessive.
4— They are argumentative.
5— They are sensitive and
touchy.
6— They whine.
CREPE-HANGERS
7— They often possess the crepe
hanging impulse.
8— They do not keep abreast of
the times.
In conclusion, Mr. Hagedorn
urged men to "marry by all means.
If you get a good wife, you will be
come very happy. If you get a bad
one, you will become a philoso
pher.”

!«. s. Gold Now
Near 10 Billion
Washington — Resumption of
the heavy gold inflow during re
cent weeks led treasury officials to
forecast a hoard of $10,000,000,
000 by the end of the year.
This amount, however, is only
$160,000,000 in excess of the total
now in hand.
Its accumulation even before the
end of the year seemed likely
should the present rate of the in
flow, which has added $600,000,
000 in the last 11 wfeeks, be main
tained.
Coincidentally officials said the
time was rapidly approaching
when the United States would own
half the gold of the world. Since
the United States revalued gold at,
$3 5 an ounce, the world’s supply
of the metal is placed at about
$23,500,000,000.

mines near Lincolnton,’ said Mr. »

Lincolnton and confer with the |
superintendent of the properties, f
I am going over the properties for |
people who want to invest in *
them, and to get first-hand infor- |
mation,” he continued. S
"We already’ have down two *
shafts, and the tin runs two per J
cent, and mica and kaolin which I
are found in the deposits wili yield |
enough to pay for operation of {
the mines. Our people are just |
now waking up to the importance |
of tin, since our best deposits are *
in North Carolina and Alabama. *
We hope to develop -the properties :
on a large scale. With the world’s j
supply of tin coming from Bolivia I
in South America, and the Malay |
Straits Settlement we should de- j
velop our concurrences found, es- j
pecially in view of an emerg- {
ency.” -
