RENN DRUM •x-:-:-Xv3 EiikkxJ CONSTANTLY J AM AMAZED AT THE PRECOCITY OF the modern youngsters. The latest flash comes from Marguerite Matthews, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. B. B. Mat mews jWihj i» nut quite uve. Early of a morning last week*Dr. Matthems had already gone out on a call when a colored man came to the door wanting the doctor in a hurry for a labor case. Mrs. Mat thews called out the window to him to wait In the yard, if he wished, until the doctor returned, but Mar guerite, supposed to be fast asleep, rose up in her bed and joined the conversation with: "You needn't wait, my daddy doesn't keep any colored babies 'round here.” * • • » In my day girls didn’t know what a labor case was until they went to college, and, as for the origin of babies, the doctor didn’t keep ’em about the house, either white or colored. He found ’em in hollow stumps and holly bushes. I always chose to believe in the hollow stump theory because it sounded a little more comfortable. A FRIEND OF DR. ROBERT WIL son thinks the public should rise together and give him three cheers. Why? Because he actually keeps current copies of magazines on the table in his office reception room. The idea wasn’t mine for, if mag azines to be found in reecption rooms of other profesional men about town are dated this year, last year, or the year before, it's all the 1 same to me. The chances are ten 1 to one I haven’t read 'em anyway. ' What with dividing one's alleged 1 leisure between a few books and a few newspapers, there’s no time left i for magazines. ■ For that reason I’m ; 'most ready 1 to predict a good life-span for the new “Life.” magazine of pictures, presented this month for the first time by publishers of “Time.” IN A "TEN YEARS AGO” COL umn appearing recently in this paper was a story in which The Star expressed wide-eyed amaze ment at a new “electrical radio” Just Inst, lied (ten years ago) in the Charles L. Eskridge home. The instrument, which was tne talk of the town, required no batteries, no aerial, and was reported to have cost $1,000. Now, within the space of ten years, the electrical radio marvel has become a commonplace, within the price range of anyone who has an income at all. Which makes it fun to imagine what another ten will bring. • • • • Ten years ago kitchen cabinets were a wonderful convenience, but were planned solely with an eye to usefulness. Now a kitchen cabinet is a beautiful piece of furniture, enameled in colors to suit your kitchen, and offering for the house wife’s convenience a mirror and tiny drawer for comb and powder puff in one door and a clock, which keeps time, in another. • * • • And at a local bank one sees a counting machine which gives the human race an Inferiority complex. A handful of change dumped into the machine comes out in a Jiffy, not only sorted but counted. And so it goes, developments on every front to amaze and delight. That’s one of my reasons for hating to die 1 keep worrying about Uv good things I’m going to miss In the next twenty, fifty or one hundred war*. I WONDER IF THE PERSON who handed this to me for pub lication had anything personal In mind? ‘The chewing gum girl and the cud-chewing cow Are almost alike—yet different somehow. What difference?
