A KIND WORD FOR GOSSIP
Who are the greater gossips, men or women? Don't try to answer. |
You Can't.
The fact is that nearly all grown people are gossips. Men ai<e right
when they say that all women are gossips, and women are equally right
v. Ueu they reiort that there is as much gossip iu the smoking car, the bil
liard room and the business office as there is in the sewing circle.
The one thing that people can never know enough about is what other
people are saying. wi.at they are doing, how they got the way they are.
And why uot? 'lue world will never come to an eud nor will it cease I
to improve as long as lolks are interested iu oue another.
The newspapers had a story the other day that Queen Mary was get
ting stout. Iu fact, she had taken on flesh so rapidly lately that she had
begun to "reduce." Mrs. Lloyd-George had told Queen Mary about some
sort of patent chair that oue could sit iu and by applications of electric cur
rent lake off several pounds a week.
More women read that story than could tell you who were the Four
I'owers that signed the Tour-Power Treaty or what the treaty was all
about.
Men are exactly the same. Let Charles M. Schwab write an article on
"Future Trends in American Business" and one man in a hundred will
glance over it and one man in a thousand will plow through it!
But suppose Mr. Schwab writes an article headed, "Why I Never Hire
a Mau With a Small Nose." Every man with a big nose, every man with
a little nose, and every man with a plain, average, unimportant nose, if he
1 nows somebody with a small nose, will read what Charley Schwab has to
say about noses.
That's because there is gossip in the article. We may not all know or
care about business trends, world trade and international politics, but wheu
.t comes to fat and noses we stand on common ground.
Gossip did uot always have a bud name. In Shakespeare's time it wus
a pel name, as "pal" or "buddie" is today. It meant your intimate friend, I
your pot-companion, the chap wou confided in and who confided iu you. '
Gossip isn't necessarily vicious, nor back-biting. It is just easy, pleas-1
ant. hulf-coniidential chat about people we know or people doing the sort |
of things we do every day.
It is the gossip quality that make the things interesting that we read
or hear. It is the human side of life, which is the ouly side we can all i
understand a little.
Uueen Mary always carries an umbrella, rain or shine, and lately has
had to have her dresses let out at the waist. John D. Rockereller is a Bap
tist and wears a wig. President Hardiug plays cards and golf in bis shirt
sleeves. Thomas Edisrfh wear shoes so loose he can take them off without
touching them with his hands and from collar to socks will not have a
tight thing on his body—all that is gossip and is interesting.
Old Samuel Pepys' Diary was all gossip. Boswell, who "Life of John-^
son" marks him as the greatest biographer of all literature, did nothing i
but gossip and not always with the kindliest motives.—Pub. Auxiliary.
DESIKlNti ACCURACY IX
\E WSl'APERS, HE SENDS
THEM HIS OBITUARY
Paris, Sept. 6.—Correctness was
a life passion with Dr. Jacques Ber
tillon, for thirty years direoor of the
statistical bureau of the city of
Paris and the uncle of the founder
of the Bertillon system, who died
four years ago.
Especially was he insistent that
facts about him or quotations from
him published in newspapers should
be absolutely precise. He was the
more severe on this subject in that
he was a former Parisian newspa
per man.
Editorial desks of local dailies were
astonished to receive from Bertillon
recently his own "obituary," togeth
er with a note in his handwriting
"When you receive this 1 shall no
longer exist."
\\ onderingly several editors tele-1
phoned his home.
"Monsieur Bertillon just died-" a!
hushed voice told them.

1*1111. TELLS STORY
OF HIS DOWNFALL
New York, Auk. 29.—Suddenly
aged, broken in spirit and ubed, the
victim of a nervous breakdown, Phil
Douglas, erstwhile star pitcher of
the New York Giants, told the story
of his faithfulness In a sobbing re-1
cital.
In the course of vhat he Insisted
was the true tale with nothing with
held. he disclosed the fact, hitherto
carefully guarded from the public,
that his letter which end*d in his
permanent banishment from organ
ized baseball, was written to Leslie!
Mann, uow of the St. Louis Cardi- j
uals, but a firm friend of Douglas' j
in Shufiin' Phil's old days with the
Chicago Cubs.
Hud Won Klcven Games
Douglas pitched his last game for
the Giants 011 July 30, when he was
defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates,
7-0. giving way for a pinch hitter in!
the seventh inning. It was but his'
fourth defeat of the the year and he
had won 11 games, but that night,
according to his own story, he
j drowned his troubles, breaking sev-|
I en kinds of training rules.
While he was sleeping of the ef
j fects in the apurtmeut of a friend,
he asserts, two detectives broke 'nio
j ;he place and attempted to drag him
out. He resisted. Threatening to
blackjack him, be says, the detec
tives dragged him, half dressed, into
a taxicab in which were three Jther
strong-arm men He was taken to a
police station for the purpose of
frightening him, he thinks, and then
to a sanitarium on Central Park
West, where his clothing was taken
from him and he was kept prisoner
. live days.
They Gave Him the Hill
When he returned to the Polo
grounds he learned he had been ,1n
ed $100 and five days' pay (about
$1SS> and was presented with a uill
of $224.35 for his sanitarium treat
ment and taxicab .'are. Angry at
Manager McGraw, that same day, he
says, he wrote Mann, then in l'os
ton with the Cardinals, the letter
which Judge Landl& made public in
Chicago.
That same nluit, after tal- .ng
matters over with Mrs. Dourlai, Phil
says he telephoned Mann In Kopton,
but could not reach him until the
following day when he asked fin.
to destroy the letter. But Mann al
ready had shown the letter to his
manager, Branch RicKey, known at.
"the Sunday school man of l>a-x
ball," and Rickey had convinced
Mann the only course to follow vas
that of turning over the letter to
the New York club management.

The "flapper" who spends hours

Its Washington headquarters, for the
Fijian makes his hair stand on end

six inches.
"The Fijian dandy wears at night a

says. "When It becomes long and j

"South of Mahamanlna In Mndagas- j

rows of little halls, while behind their
heads they place a piece of hollow
wood ornamented with brass-headed
nails and fastened Into the hair. In
this cylinder they keep all their pins,
needles and small valuables. Near ftie
coast on the same Island the women

they twist Into thin flat circular colls
of from two to two and a half Inches
In diameter. TheRp little colls of hair

"The Sevllllan womiin who piles her

for hundreds of years. Artemldonis,
In the Sixth century before Christ,
tells of the extravagant headdresses
of Iberian women and they also are
shown In the prehistoric statuary of
the country,

or paradise feathers during their
dances. The black cassowary feather
Is the distinguishing ornament of the
chiefs, but wearers nre unable to en

headdresses.
"Among African tribes the methods
of halrdresslng are legion. The IVom
ba men shave two parallel strips ot
wool from the nnpe of the neck around
the crown to the forehead. Some of
them cut all the hair off, leaving Just
a fringe high up on the skull. Others

"The men near Lake Bangweolo
sometimes wear wigs made of coarse
matted fiber and the Blsas weave Into
wisps of hair fiber or bristles until It
haugs down in matted, strlntfike
bunches. The BIsa women weave red

hair until It resembles the types of

• Shave and Paint Heads.
'The Bambala people shave their
heads except for a little round spot
resembling a cap on the top of the

man usually covers his tuft of white

wears the bones of his victims wrapped
in a cloth on the top of his head for
the magical properties they are sup

"jThe Bakwese follow somewhat the

the chiefs usually coll their hair into

The reported retirement from the

hoped that the wonderful little player
will reconsider his step and continue
as one of the marvels of the grwn

Hoppe has been a credit to the bil

with making the game as popular as
it is today. His manager, R. B. Ben
