The" News -Record. Published Week! MARSHALL. NORTH CAROLINA. Yes, the climate li changing almost very day. The stago has had some daring ex ample in dress set for It by the street. Now the sad tact has been discov ered that money, ot all things, won't wear In the wash. Pardon the seeming Irrelevancy of the question, gentle reader, but are you still swatting the flies? Any man who will go wrong over the silt skirt Is the kind of man who is due for trouble, anyway. It Is commonly conceded that one of the very best looks with which to repel mashers Is a bedraggled look. Much fun Is poked at the borrower. What would the lender do with his money If there were no borrowers? Diving is a pleasing and picturesque pastime, but one that can be pursued without peril only. In familiar water. If it becomes the custom to fill them with money before presentation, lov ing cups will truly deserve the name. Probably one of the first objects sought by the housemaids' union will be the abolishment of the housemaid's knee. Whatever man doubted that woman had courage has had his doubts re moved by the recent developments In clothes. Now a New York woman of ninety four asks for $30,000 alimony. These aged folk are getting alarmingly pre cocious. A Chicago Judge says that "too many wives are killing their hus bands." But how many are Just enough? The man who married a girl who saved him from a thrashing a quarter of a century ago waited a long time to make good. , A sailor will stand trial for deser tion because he ran away to marry. Few men desert their wives, however, to Join the navy. Now that some rectors are to be pensioned, it will be unnecessary for the country preacher to take up cal cimlnlng to make a living. Selling gourds for cantaloupes should be prohibited under the pure food law. But perhaps not everything that tastes like a gourd is one. The government warns housewives that many of the moth balls of com merce are worthless. Thus we have bad only a bad smell for our pains. A Seattle man has over a dozen rules for making a wife happy, but to the average wife one of them might serve on a pinch: to have a Joint bank account Coiffures will bo high again, ac cording to the fashion books. This may necessitate signs in moving pic ture shows "Ladles Will Kindly Re move their Hair." One grudge that most people har bor against the piano tuner is that, after he goes away, the family next door pounds the piano with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. An old tablet newly discovered credits a goddess with having cre ated the world. However that may be It 1b certain the world has revolved about woman ever since. A Yonkers man looked at himself lu a mirror and fell dead. Lots of us know better than to try anything like that A "heated" discussion , Is In prog ress in London as to the right to hiss In theaters, due to a suit at law by a man who was ejected s for hissing. , Common sense should decide the mat ter. A bilious or grouchy individual baa no right to interfere with the opinions, the taste or the comfort of other auditors. If he doesnt' like the play he has the privilege of picking tip his hat and getting out. - That Philadelphia : plumber ' who thinks he can braze the Liberty Bell : In auch a manner as not only to pro Tide for its indefinite preservation, but also to restore its true ring, that It lost when it was cracked, might as well be given a chance. For some time past the report has been current . that the crack was spreading. The risk of skilled treatment Is commend ed by prudence, when the patient is ill of a dangerous disease. , ' One of the scientists at the Lon don Medical conference declares that the world is going mad at a great rate. Still if it wasn't, what would the alienists and the insanity experts do for decent living? A eugenics bridegroom shot himself because he was afraid he had commit ted perjury in testifying, to get the IK cense, that he was of sound mind. Now comes the question for the ex perts how far he was qualified to , commit matrimony if he was aan enough to know he was crazy.
