'Women Waste Less
Money Than Men
By ISABELLA FOOTE P1NKHAM
The other day I heard a
truo Biory about a woman
who bought a dozen eggs on
credit and eolu them for
cash that she might get five
cents to spend on a moving-
picture show. This struck
me as rather extraordinary. At fust I thought it was an individual cast4,
but I have come » conclusion that this woman is one of a class.
The who inort^a^e^ his house and buys an automobile, and the
boy who asks to have his allowance advanced so that he can get an ice
cream soda are of the same type. In fact, this class of people must have
existed a long time ago, for we read in the Bible how Ksau sold his birth-
right for a mess of pottage. It might be called the spendthrift clans, and
in it nr.ght be put all those persons—whether men or women—who sac-
rifice ultimate ends for the immediate satisfaction of some trivial deaire.
But the many types of human nature present wide extremes, and
another class of people immediately occurs to us—the miser class. Although
this class is perhaps not so large, yet it is too well known to need illustra-
tion. Tt ;/>o, must have existed for ages, judging from the literature of
long ago, as well as the present. Surely one can never forget Shake-
speare’s Shyloek or George Kliot’s Silas Marner or Dickens’ Scrooge.
To this type belong those people—whether men or women—who make
saving an end in itself.
Both these classes are instances of a very wise maxim piven to me
years ago by a very wise man—“Every virtue carried to an extreme becomes
a vice.” If only our faulty human nature could strike the happy medium!
That we do occasionally strike it we feel sure when we see those well-
balanced people who place every dollar where it will do the most good
in the long run. If they spend it, tlfcy get something in return which is
of permanent value. If they save it, they do so not because the dollar
itself has any attraction for them, but because it may prove a friend in
need in the future.
• Now, it seems to me that both men and women belong to all three
of these classes. Whether they he spendthrift or miser has very little
more to do with sex than their being gay or melancholy. It is largely a
matter of temperament, possibly somewhat due to heredity and surely
very much dependent on home training. No doubt nearly everyone can
think of individuals of both sexes who belong to each of these three classes.
However, I think there are more men who go to extremes in money
matters than women. It is significant that every one or the great miser
types in literature before mentioned is a man. One rarely hears of a
woman who can really be called a miser. Women may be 6tingv because
they are selfish and they want to Bpcnd their money on themselves, but
money piled up simply for its own sake does not appeal to them, as a rule.
| On the other hand, women waste less money than men. For instance,
if you were behind a counter selling goods, whom would you rather have
lor customers—men or women? Of course I do not refer here to the
bargain counter, for 1 know women are proverbial bargain hunters. Have
you ever heard a woman say that when she wants a really pood thing
she always likes to have her husband buy it, for he will pay twice as
much for it aa she will? Why is it that when people are having a fair,
or selling tickets for a charity entertainment, or taps on tag day, or
getting up a subscription paper, they always lie in wait for the men?
Because men cannot count pennies as
women do, and they will give twice f
as ranch
An article appertaining ts
the action of the IVnnsylva
nia authorities regarding th<
practise of the cigarmakers
in placing the cigars
tween their lips brings
--mind a practise that I have
noticed for many years at the cigar stands and in all places where cigars
are sold.
At these places there will he found a cutter that clips the end off the
cigar previous to lighting.
To slip the cigar while it is dry loosens the wrapper, hence the smoker
almost invariably placet it in his mouth and rolls it around a few times.
When it is thoroughly moistened he places it in the clipper.
I have called the attention of many a smoker to the danger of this
filthy habit and they have always thanked me for it.

Why So Many Men
Remain Bachelors
By JoHb P. Smith, Kuna. City. Mo.
Women all over the Unit-
ed State* are trying to find
out why *o many men re-
main bachelors. One of the
reasons that Isas been put
forth is that women's schools
are inefficient.
They fail to prepare women either for livelihood or motherhood.
Graduates come out of women's school* physical wrecks with a value-
less flood of useless information and a penchant for fashions which leares
yheni aa nearly nude aa the law will allow.
The average bill of fare alone at girls’ school, is enough to drive the
ptudents to bonbons and rarebita.
A man does not want that kind of a woman for a wife.
MORE SUCCESS

LITTLE FIELDERS ARE FAST
. ime la Full of Examples of Players
Who Are Short In Stature But
Long on Ability.
Pig men have generally had the
call in baseball, because of the idea
that the fellow with a big frame usu-
ally has more strength behind his ef-
forts. Such a theory may hold good
In regard to pitchers, most of whom
are dependent to a certain extent on
their speed for surras, yet the game
is full of examples of players in other
positions who have been short in
Btature but long on ability.
Among the present day midget stare
may be mentioned Maranville and
Evers, who will be working side by
side this summer at Poston. Tinker,
Evers’ old side kick at Chicago, too,
was a small man, while Fred Malsel
of the Highlanders and Eddie Foster
of Griffith’s Nationals, are in the
featherweight class. Miller Huggins,
the Cardinals’ chief; Charlie O'Leary,
the Detroit shortfielder, and Eddie Col-
lins, Mack's star, are small players,

fet they are all worth their weight In
gold to their clubs.
As a matter of fact, while there has
been a general clamor for big men
among club owners, it is decidedly
doubtful whether men of short stature
on the infield haven’t an advantage
over the taller performers, aside from j
first basemen. The little fellows are
nearer the earth, and on those hard
drives that seem to cling to the ;
ground they have the knack generally
of getting down quicker.
Of course, there are some clever big
men among the inner circle guardians
today, including Hans Wagner and La-
joie. but ordinarily the midget can
handle himself with m^re speed and
agility on ground balls than his ikeav-
lest and more bulky rival.
