It is difficult these days for a young fellow to decide when he is financially able to marry. The doctors of matrimony, whom almost all live newspapers now employ to advise the love- lorn, and the high cost of living contribute largely to the per - plexity of the question, it strikes me. The cost of living sets new al titude records every day, and, regardless of whether a bride has an appetite like a humming bird or a hay baler, it is bound to cost a good deal to feed her. And this item of expense cannot be computed in advance with any degree of accuracy. One might be able to forget this fact, however, if the doctors would be silenced. But they will not be. Neither can any two of them agree on how much money a fellow should have be fore attempting matrimony. Some say $500 in a bank and a salary of $25 a week, while others ins at it is almost criminal L to wed on less than a $1,000 ac count and a $50 salary, and oo on. If a poor bachelor would : marry, he had best stick to one adviser. To change is almost fatal A friend of mine proposed to a girl on the advice of a $500 and $25 a week expert, and was ac . cepted, 4 When he' had . -saved $490 his landlady subscribed for a newspaper u ith a , $l,0CO and $50 a week doctor. He started reading her advice, lost his nerve and ran out of the engagement In the dear, dead days when I was sparking the girls there was no high cost of living problem in ; our town, and the only expert we ever consulted was "Grand' ma" reck. She had been mar ried almost 50 years, and as she and "Pappy" Peck, her hus band, always were on speaking terms her advice was considered golden... . : ; "Find out if your sweetheart throws more out the kitchen door with a spoon that you could bring in the front door with a shovel," was her main guidepost to marital success, ' "But how is a fellow going to get that Information - Sn ad vance?" most everyone of us asked her at some time or an other. "Simplest thing in the world," she would go on. "Get her to .bake you a batch of cookies. If there is one little round fat cookie that's made from the trimmings,' she's aFav ng girl. Marry her. If there ain't no auch cookie, ; lookout! ; She's (Jhrqwed that good extra dough away." " ' V" ' 1 I That advice was valuable in our town, where no woman could feed her husband store cookies and retain her membership in the Fortnightly club,' but it would not work in the cities ' now. Delicatessen stores and social engagements are too num erous. ,. 1 Inasmuch as there-was no high cost of living question, a love-sick -youth - s Idom let the lack of a paying job or a bank account keep him single. All married folks got along ""f I way or another, though, as I look back now, I wonder how , , , , BumBUJiun:wr-.jdanc8 with the betore dinner over I rum oaiuruav iu niunuttv. especially when company came.

B. Johnston presided over the meeting and explained to the boys present the requirements of an applicant for membership in the Scouts. After going over the matter and ex plaining the part the boys would be expected to take in the organ ization, Scout Master Johnston was highly pleased to fin J that there were 23 boys present who were ready to qualify and he ad ministered the oath to that num ber. Another meeting will be he'd next Friday night at which time the boys will be divided into pa trols, eight to constitute 8 patrol. At the next meeting prtrol lead ers will be selected by members of the different patrols. William Lander was elected to the position of secretary of the Scouts. The boys are enthusiastic and are showing great interest in the movement and this means that the Bjy Scout organization is t take an important part in the ac- tivitives of the boys of this sec tion. Following are the boys who qualified: . . Sammey Alexander, Sterne Camp. Walter Costner, Carlos Cro well, E Igar Heavnery - Tom Knowles, Carr Leonard, Bruce Lander, William Lander, Earl Mullen, John MallarJ, Dmnie McNeely, J. Thos.

The New York husband and his charming wife know enough not to annoy each other. There are tango jungles uptown in which the paying patrons are almost entirely of the fair sex and for the most part of "hoch" society. They float in of an af ternoon, dressed in a handful of silk and the pelts of 20 or 30 small and costly animals, and fragrant as the rose corner in a conservatory. Of course . they come to dance. But it happens that very few men go to these somewhat exclusive places. Therefore the proprietors hire nice slender, large eyed he-gazelles at $5 for the afternoon. They dance with the aristocrats to the satisfaction of the ladies and their own overdue board bill. Many times each afternoon hundreds of men turn haggard eyes upon the office clock. Final ly they slam down their desks shut, dictate a final letter while galloping to the elevator and hurrv uptown to the courses. It is but an accident that they do not go to the dancing places J f""" $100 and was sent on to serve which are chiefly patronized by time.- A little over a year ap their lady wives.

Those who are interested in these posi-( tions will be interested in the ' following ruling by Postmaster , Burleson, sent to the Charlotte Observer from Washington by their correspondent H. E. C. Bryant: ' The purpose of Postmaster General Burleson to appoint to the fourth class offices that pay andwoikof erecting the build-J championed by Frank Hauss, Ir $130 and in excess thereof the lt wi.l begin at once and the vin Goodson and Mae Crowell. persons who stand the best ex- work of completion! will be push- Recitations, compositions and a aminations and make the highest el. The weather permitting the full program of the society will marks will almost prove the b!ow that killed 100 or more Congress men. This means that instead of being able to put in a Dm crat by first on) tarn an 1 than another. a Congressman will have tj stan J o.? an I look on. The situation now is like this: An examination is held, and the three highest persons are certi fied to the Postmaster Gineral. Any one of the three can be selected. If there are two Re publicans and one Democrat, the Democrat, although he be the lowest in. rank of ths trio, can be given the offl:e. If there be two Democrats and one Repub lican, a Congressman can name ' the man by suggesting hi choice. That is the way it is done. The recommendation of a Congress man has been all that was re quired to get any one of the three certified over. Mr. Burleson's new rule would chancre this. The hicrhest nerson. unless something detrimental to his rhajuftpi-n hp uhnwn will be selected, no matter what his politics is. This will cause more than a howl; there will be a roar. It is argued that the new rule will be more in line with the spirit of the Civil Service law. Mistaken IJea ASo I Livi Tu Lilj!j:ntJ OftaLeaJs to Rsia.
