The Brussels Post, 1951-11-7, Page 6Some Things Warne Said About Men "How like an angel) The para- gon of animals," That is a man i Shakespeare) speaking of man. But woolen have something dif- ferent to say. although they haven't had quite so many opportunities to be articulate. A few rare exceptions, however, have not pulled their punches. Perhaps the most damning indict. meat of the male sex was made by Mrs. Howard, mistress of George If, Oho in 1725 wrote to Lord Peterborough: "Let us consider the ingredients that make up the heart of man. It is composed of dissimulation, self love, vanity, inconstancy, equivoca- tions and such fine qualities .. . "A maws heart never wants the outward appearance of truth' and sincerity . According to my observatious the false ones general- ly have the finest gloss." isIost women agree with Shake- speare that man k animal, but hard- ly a paragon. A man in love, said Cleonie Knox, an eighteenth -century beauty, "is the most Pompous Animal on this earth." Dissoluteness seemed to be a failing common to most men, who were such "Damnable Fools there is no saying what they will do in a fury." A woman's magazine published in 1870 put forward somewhat the same opinion in rather more delicate language. "Some women of refined nature," said the writer, "are constantly shocked at being compelled to as- sociate with the coarse-grained animal, Man." Another feminine publication, dated 1850, states disapprovingly, "Ilan is encroaching and woman is easily worked upon .. , to permit of those little familiar caresses which, experience shows, often extinguish the Man's love while increasing the Woman's." Afuuuumphl — Saturday after - loons throughout the land are made beautiful with the sight sf rugged young men sprinting to touchdowns' and throwing beautiful body blocks. Nothing 10 it? This picture of sophomore Bill Kaulfuss, taken as he charg- ed a blocking sled is offered to show you what a Saturday hero looks like on Wednesday. One of the earliest feminists was Mary Wollestonecraft, who in 1792 published her "Vindication of the Rights of Woman." Sinking Women About the only good thing she' could find to say about man was that he was better -tempered, but that was merely because his pur- suits (unlike a woman's) occupied the head as well as the heart. Man's first aim, she said, was to make a woman sink lower. The trivial attentions he paid her, such as picking up her handkerchief, were merely supporting his own superiority and degrading her. He was far more under the in- fluence of his grosser appetites than woman, and, in addition, his tyranny was to bla'r'e for most' feminine folly. "I will venture to assert," she declared, "that all the causes of female weakness, as well as de- pravity , branch out of one grand cause—want of chastity in men." But all this doesn't seem to Make any difference, Wooten appear to love the brutes, whatever they do. Writing in 1928, a woman confess- ed, "We have yet to controvert the fact that men can make shift to be happy without ns, bat we are really very Clio('rable :, !lout then'." J. L. O. PARDON ME - A 6600l-teacher011 a crowded hits spotted a familiar face and smiled.

Strange Notions About The Moon The nation that the moon is linked with lnadtluss is now regard- ed with some seriousness by psychiatrists. During researches at Duke University, 1)r. Leonard J. Ravitz discovered what he believes is an electrical connection between the moon's changes and human moods and emotions. With _Special inetrtunents Ur, Ravitz was able to measure the "electrical potential'' of hi, patients and worked out mathematically the.r benavttour in relation to the readings. idle found that peak reading coin- cided with the full and new moons and also found that peaks in emo- tional disturbances came at the same time. Throughout the centuries the 010011 has fascinated men and given rise to all sorts of theories and sup- erstitions about its influence on our lives. When we say it is unlucky to see the moon t )ugh glees we are simply carrying on an old belief that noon -light in a house is evil. When we turn over our silver at ne •'noon we express the hope that the rilver coins will grow as the moon grows. Th Australian bushtnen build their huts so that the noon never shines through the door, and in aoine parts of Europe sheep are always shorn so that the new growth and new moon coincide. Whimsical as some Of these Sotions may be, there are some circunls nces about the moon and its effect on life that we cannot lightly dismiss. Many mental hospitals do not a" )lv the staff leave at the full moon. Patients who are normal for twenty-four days of the month be- come violent as the moon brightens. Experts have proved that the best ct,tches of herring may be expected at full moon. Dr. I,ebran, an authority on lunar problems, has gathered statistics that show the larges number of births occur when the moon is near the horizon. Experiments aver several years on a Kentish farm showed that certa' vegetables sown near the time of full moon grew to nearly twice the weight of ethers sown at new moon. Beans, ear, carrt,ts, tomatoes and onions did best if sown about three days before full moon, but potatoes were better planted under a waning moon. Bananas, too, are "moonstruck" fruit. For each of the thirteen lunar months there is a distinctive banana and it has been discovered that it is the new moon that determines the shape. The March banana, for in,tance is long and straight, while its April brother is bent and has a fine horn• like point. Each ilailalta reaches Maturity exactly at new moon in the month to which it belongs. Smarten That Old Lamp -shade Of Yours If you have small lamp shades of silk or cotton that are dingy or faded, here is a quick and easy way to rejuvenate them. Remove any trinlmings and dip the shades into a deep vessel filled with dye of any desired color—riot boiled dye, but Tintex or a similar preparation. Experiment first with a piece of white cloth to be sure of the right shade and see that the shades are completely submerged. Remove and stand on a board to dry. The shape will not be altered for the frame prevents shrinking, "Are you always so quiet, Tommy?" asked the visitor. "No, replied Tommy, "but mother has promised me a quarter if I don't say anything about your bald head and red nose." Watch For'Eml—Preparing to realse one of many plastic: balloons used for the Air Force project "Moby Dick" are launching crews who, naturally, think of this as a whale of an operation The 50 to 110 -foot diameter balloons are drifting at altitudes of 10 to 20 miles for the purpose of transmitting data concerning high- altitude winds.

Dear Mr, President: I realize you are a very busy man and f also know that you probably get plenty of advice and criticism, especially the latter, from your own side of the border without any outside help. Still, there is a little suggestion 1 would like to hand you, Alr. President, and I will try and put it in as few words as pos- sible, which is more than you can say for -Date of your home - brew critics, such as those who vote the Republ'can ticket. :1 .1, * Well, 51r. President, the sugges- tion I wish to make is regarding one of your citizens, Joe Louis Bar- row by name, or Joe Louis as we will call him for the sake of brev- ity. Mr. Louis, as you may have heard rumoured, was once a box - fighter by trade and a very good one at that, Whether or not be was the greatest that ever lived is a )natter for debate, and I would be very glad to debate it with you on some occasion when you have any free time, maybe after next November. But I will 1,0 so far as to say that he was just about as good as they come, particularly in these times when most heavy- weights seen) to be troubled with the falling sickness. * * ,r But the fact of the matter, Mr, President, is that Father Time catches up with us all, including old soldiers; and the way )'e has caught up with Mr. Joe Louis this past couple of years is a sin and a shame. But unliike the old soldiers Mr. Louis was not contented# to simply fade away but continued to ply his Nome. Address PLEASE SEND CATAIOGUP AND PRICES trade as a box -fighter, much to the sorrow of his m:lions of admirers who wept bitter tears to see -him staving trouble with big loogans who formerly would have passed out if he had given them even a dirty look, or any kind of a look for that matter. Now as 1 said before, Alr. Presi- dent, you are a pretty busy pian and maybe it has escaped your no- tice that the reason Mr. Louis con-. tinues to ply and trade is not be- cause he enjoys making a punching bag of himself, or any desire to bask in the limelight. Nd, Mr. President, the reason Mr. Louis continues working long past quitting - time is simply he is in hock to a certain extent to your Income Tax De- partment — and I may say he is by 110, means unique in this respect on your side of the border or on this side either. e " k Furthermore, Mr. President, con- sidering his color—which is slight- ly on the sunburned side—and also considering the temptations he has been up against, Mr, Louis has ac- ted like a pretty fair citizen in most respects outside of this Income Tax imbroglio, In fact most folks think he has been a credit to his race and also to the fighting gauze, both of which are fairly hard to be a credit to at times, if you get what 1 mean and I think you will. So now we eune to the nubbin of the ,tatter, and that is what 1 am proposing to you. In your po- sition, Mr. President, you probably know some of tile High Brass in your Income Tax Department at least to speak to. So why not call then) in and say, "Boys, in the past Joe Louis has contributed to your Department about ten times what the average person does, maybe even more than that. So now that Joe Louis is in a tight spot, why not call the whole thing off and give him a paid-in-fuil receipt." * " '1 And after they have agreed to do that, Mr. President, you could write a letter to Joe Louis something along the following lines; 'Dear Mr. Louis. Here is a settlement of your account with our Income Tax Department, for past services ren-, dercd, and if I ever catch you or hear of you being closer titan 50 yards from a boxing ring I will make you very hard to catch, in fact -I will call up the Marines and NAND SEWN FULL SIZED IF Large varlets* or n tlarun Striate and coin's Individually OM ricked (If desired) ONLY $1,10 each or 3 for $3.00 Pla.in Shades Initial monogrammed to contrasting enters ,2611 each extra LIsa1 for Christmas glftg.

Ideas For That Kiddies' Party 1 f you're hard pressed for a party ,idea for the small fry, and want one that isn't too elaborate, just put oif a bag party) \Vhen the youngsters arrive, in- vert a paper bag 'mask over the head of each one. These masks are gimp*e t0 make, ret)))iring mere ly eyes, nose, and mouth holes, and a few crayon features. When all the guests have as- sembled, have a "who's who:" guessing game, the winner being the bright child who correctly guesses the identity of the greatest number of masker) compatriots, and the prize, a huge bag of peanuts writes (Helen Houston Boileau in The Christian Science Monitor. Mask Becomes Funny Hat Next, you plight have a contest to see which child can convert his masse into the funniest hat, just by tearing and folding, Again, an in - the -bag prise, this titre a bag of foil -wrapped chocolate coins. Have n number of paper bags, each containing ordinary materials such as soap flakes, rice, feathers salt, flour, marslunallovs, sand, etc. Close these bags lightly, and tie then) to conceal what they contain. Now, give every child a chance to guess the contents of each hag, just by lifting, smelling, and feeling. The winner gets a cellophane bag full of marshmallows—colored ones, mind y0)11 Filially, try a bag pitch, Roll down a rim around the tops of sturdy brown paper bags, place a nuinber (10, 25, 50, anti 100) on the side of each, and line then) up, weighting each down with a rock. Now give each youngster a chance to pitch a bean bag into each paper hag. If there is a tie, play it off with a second round of pitches. The winner is allowed to keep the bean bag. Rereslmen ts are wonderfully simple when you have such a good excuse for serving them in dispos- able bags, For every child, have a bag lunch containing a sandwich in a bag (% cup peanut butter to 1 cup chopped raisins, 1 cup cottage cheese and a little salt makes a good onel); a little bag of simple candies; an ice cream bar in a paper bag; and probably a glass of mill' on the side. This is not a balanced meal, perhaps, but it's about average for a birthday spree. DRIVE SLOWLY While travelling in a remote part of the country, a motorist stopped to chat with a native.
