When Is Time To Marry?
By Bruce Bartcai in Atlanta Journal
I once did my very best to pre
vent a marriage.
It was immediately after the war
The young man came out of the
army without a job. He owed some
money, which was incidental 1
would gladly have loaned him more
to get a start in business, but when
he asked for a loan to finance his
marriage, I refused.
•You're crazy to get married now.’
1 said. “There are enough difficul
ties in keeping a marriage happy
without adding worries about
money. You have not yet demon
strated that you can make a suc
cess of one life, yet you propose
blithely to undertake the responsi
bility of two. Wait awhile till yen
have more judgment and mors sav
ings. Then you can start right.’
Thus I spoke out of my aged,
wisdom; end he looked at me pity
ingly. and borrowed the money
elsewhere, and was married .it once.
Recently I visited his home. He
has three children. He owm ins
house. lie has a responsible posi
tion and money in the bank. All in
all, it is as happy a family as one
would want to know.
I have also visited in the home of
a successful man of fifty. He aid
not rush into matrimony. Far from
it. He accumulated money, and.
carefully ojj his guard, he looked
over the whole feminine sex for
many years.

Hundreds of people came
last week and they bought.
They are buying shoes, dry
goods, notions, dresses,
coats, clothing, furnish
ings, furniture and home
furnishings, and they are
saving up to 50 per cent
and more on their purchas
es.
FOLKS
Come here and buy for the
present and future. You
can’t afford to miss these
marvelous bargains.
AT THE
PARAGON’S
CLOSING OUT
SALE ONLY.
Thus insured with wealth and j
wisdom, he proceeded at the ago<
of forty-seven to pick himself a (
foolish and empty-headed little
girl, Already the marriage shows
signs of strain; it surely cannot
last.
Earnest articles are written about
the necessity for making marriage ,
difficult. Young people should be
compelled to wait, they say. until
they have funds and experience.
It seems a sound argument, snd
yet such restrictions would have ;
prevented the marriage of Thomas
Lincoln and the birth of Abraham.
They would hrfve kept pen .1,less
Hawthorne from contracting one of
the finest marriages of literary his
tory. They would probably havr
postponed, if not prevented, most rf
the happiest unions that have taken
place since the beginning of the
[ world.
So having been a watcher of wee
1 dings for many years, I find my
self less impressed with tho judg
ment of maturity and more con
fident of the impulses of youth.
For what is mature judgment,
anyway, but the total of our disap
pointments and worries our burred
fingers and our fears?
Maturity has judgment which is
the wisdom of age, but youth has
instinct which is the wisdom of the
ages.
Gentlemen, Blondes
Getting Rare Now
London. — Both Slondes and
gentlemen are becoming rarer.
The first opinion is that of Dr. E.
N. Fallaize, scientist. The second is
the verdict of Miss Anita Loos, nove
list, and author of "Gentlemen Pic
ier Blondes.”
Said Dr. Fallaize in an interview.
"From the earliest times, the fair
Nordic types have been the rulers
and leaders of communities large
ly composed of conquered peoples.
But owing to war, economic and po
litical causes, this predominance is
diminishing.”
To this pronouncement Miss Loos
adds:
“Well, gentlemen are dying out
too so it's all right. Of course there
are more brunettes, because, of
course, they are the ones who marry.
! When the blondes are gone there
j is no one to educate the ‘gentlemen,’
I so naturally the gentlemen ate
j too.”
But according to a London beau
ty expert, it is a false conclusion to
draw, that because the blondes are
disappearing they are dying. Bather
they are dyeing.
"A few women are bleaching their
hair now.” said he, "but there are
quite a lot or women naturally
blondes who are becoming brun
ettes. This change has been going
on for some months, and there are
certainly fewer blondes today than
there were a year ago.”
However, this drift of the blondes
toward bruhettes is a good thing for
the surviving blondes, according to
C. B. Cochran, the British theatrical
producer.
"I quite agree,” he said, ' that
blondes are getting rarer, but this
means that gentlemen prefer the
survivors more than ever.”
Many fanners in Boone County,
Mo., confessed to running stills so
they could pay their rent on the
farms. They claim that they need
ed money badly.

Doctor Who Cost
Girl Legs Accused
Malpractice Alleged He Paid Sten
ographer $40,000 Alter Legs
Were Amputated.
Chicago.—The .board of registra
tion and education was petitioned
by Henry A. Ash, assistant attorney
general of Illinois, to revoke the li
cense to practice in this state which
it granted to Dr. Henry J. Schlerc
son, plastic surgeon, who was sued
here recently for $200,000 by Miss
Sadie Holland, stenographer, both of
whose legs were amputated after he
had attempted to straighten them.
That suit was settled out of eourt
for $40,000.
The plastic surgeon “who made
Fannie Brice's nose what it is to
day” and performed a ‘ beautifying"
operation on “Peaches” Brownings
—according to the complaint was
not of good moral character when
the license was obtained. It also
states that he was guilty of fraud
in obtaining it, and that he had
t/een guilty of gross malpractice
since. The Sadie Holland case is
cited.
Charges that Dr. Schlersen plead
ed guilty to maintaining a nuisance
in New York in 1915 and was sen
tenced to six months imprisonment
ere further set forth in the assis-!
tent-attorney general's petition, It
n charged he was indicted with a
Dr. Fanning for a crime at Utica.
N. Y., and fled fpom the state, while
Dr. Fanning was convicted and
given a sentence of from five to ten
years in prison; that he was in
dicted for forgery in Michigan and
fled that state also, and that hi
1912 Schierson was sentenced to
serve ten months in Pittsburgh for
operating an illegal clinic.
The second charge, that he was
guilty of fraud in applying for and
receiving his Illinois medical license,
is supported by statements that
Schiereson misrepresented his med
ical education and claimed lour
year's attendance at the Maryland
Medical college, whereas he had
been there only during one term
session.
Some time ago Schiereson filed
suit against Dr. Morris Fishbein,
editor of the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical association, alleging
libel in an editorial which referred
to him as "Quack Schiereson."
TURKEY CROP GAINING.
SO ARE PRICES ASKED
Washington.—The turkey crop
this year is larger than that o' 1928
by 9 per cent, and mo6t of the in
crease are in the eastern and
southeastern states. Pennsylvania
leads all other states with 25 per
cent more than she had last yea-.
Ohio and Indiana come next with
an increase of 20 per cent. Fifty
two per cent of the crop will be
ready for Thanksgiving.
On the whole, the department of
agriculture says, weather conditions"1
tills year were favorable for turkey
raising over most of the. country
The adoption of better methods r>: j
handling turkeys and the commer
cial hatching and sale of young
pcults seem to be extending quite
generally in important turkey
states. The incubator is helping.
Turkey prices for Thanksgiving
have increased from 14.4 cents per
pound in 1913 to 30.8 cents in 1927.

New York.—A band of 6#

debutantes is intent on a 3 a.
m., curfew.
“Stop the music at 3 o'clock
in the morning," is their
slogan in the crusade to dis
courage dancing till dawn and
later among the younger set
whose parties their daughters
will attend this season. The
expectation is that eligible,
young men now can attend
parties and stUl go to work
next day.
Seating the guests prompt
ly at the designated hour no
matter who or how many are
late is to he the silent rebuke
for the stragglers who keep
dinner waiting.
Discussion of ways and means
to carrying on the campaign
took place at a meeting at the
home of Mrs. Seth M. Milliken
in Madison avenue.
Mrs. John Henry Hammond,
president of the New York Par
ents’ League, said at the meet
ing:
“The movement for early
hours now on trial In New York
is being watched by Junior and
Parents’ Leagues all over the
country. It is up to ns to make
it fashionable to have early
hours.”
Miss Mary Deafield, a le
buntante of this season, spoke
in behalf of the young people.
She said:
“At first the new rules were
not very popular as no one
wanted to go to bed early, but
now we like them because we
find we can go to more parties.
Isn’t Any Telling
What Might Happen
(Eugene Ashcraft In Monice

Renn Drum, the Shelby Star's
paragrapher, says “Hornbuckle, the
boxer, sent to prison here last week
for killing a man, is said to have
been one of the two handsomest
men ever tried in a local court. The
other Adonis was sent to the roads
some years back for stealing an
automobile.”
One can but wonder what the re
action would have been had women
jurors, instead of men, decided the
fate of the shieks.

INSURING THE BABY’S

Dr. Copeland. Advising the Expectant Mother,
Stresses the Importance of Diet and Contentment
^ to Assure the Newcomer a Good Start in Life.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United State* Senator from New York.
Former Committioner of Health, New York Citf.
WE talk a great deal about the kind of food people eat. Wa
advi*e the fat. th# thin, tha undernourlahed and all tha other*
affected by food.
Tha expectant mother too may need advice. Many woman, or I
ahould *ay, moat women, go about having a fam
ily with thought only for the expectant child, she
should giro serious thought too. to her own
precious self.
The foods eaten during pregnancy hare a
marked effect on the entire life of the child.
Prom the beginning of pregnancy the mother
should eat the same nourishing food that would
keep any other woman In health and vigor. After
the fourtn month the food intake should be in
creased. By the end of the pregnancy, the Intake
should be 20 per cent more than normal.
If the mother’s diet is lacking in certain
elements the child suffers. Lime, iron and phos
8horns are important Unless the diet eupplies
lese, the mother must use up her own reserve.
Thie results in her developing decayed teeth. |
some weakness of the bones, or other serious
changes. Milk, salads, green vegetables, oranges
and other fruit supply these elements.
DR COPELAND
