Sloppy
Why is it that women are so neat anrl men are so
floppy? I!aniii(f only that l)i-section of the female clan
which insists on wearing a boudoir cap to the groceiy
store, women never appear outside their own doors in one
half of the slouchy, shiftless, jfood-for-nothing array that
a lot of good citi'iens of the other sex are continually
eu in. Why is it?
J ' Perhaps there is no particular virtue in being: slicked
lip all the time, utid certainly there is nothing' so offensive
to the hearty persons of masculine' (fender us the well-oiled
young. man wffose handkerchief protrudes from his coat

wiped and manicured an hour before, and who can wear
patent leather shoes six months without prclting a lot of
nicks .in them,
llut just take the nverajfe pillar of the community.
Think aliout his collar for a minute. If he wears one. of
the torturous stiff white ones, it will be smeared or else
wilted before noon. The soft collars fare little better, and
the fellow who still dares to wear the good old-fashioned
blue shirt, with collar attached, just looks ns if ho is on
the way to the stable, no matter what part of town you
meet him in. .
, .This is all said in a spirit of humility. Wo realize that
ono'man is nt bottom as bad as another, and if one looks
a littrif pToro perk' tliart 'liis YroiitliboiV it is 'his wife who
really doseivcs the credit. It is nothing that can be re
formed, wo suppose, and perhaps the women glory in their
superiority, mid wouldn't have the menfolk ail spick and
r.an even if they could. .
Hut a person cnr.'t help wondering sometimes why is
it, 'that a woman looks so neat, and her husband so dog
jono sloppy?
Raising Standards
t The nsscrtion that we Americans are motor mad, that
we are sorely afflicted with "acute niotorilis," may be a
clever one, but aside from mere cleverness in phrasing it
does not add anything to the discussion. It may be held
that just as we were once "bike crazy" so wo have now
jrone wild over the automobile, but this would not be true,
: In a great measure the bicycle was given tip by people
who took to the motor car as a more effective means of
getting about; at least those that could afford it did so.
And just as they used the two-wheeled Vehicle to expedite
tho business of the day, so these persons are this day
using the motor car for many things besides pleasure rides.
For many people the ownership of an automobile merely
means that they can cany on with more dispatch the busi
ness of the day.
If it is analyzed correctly what this increase in motor
cars means is that we have raised fairly generally our
standard of living. No doubt tho phenomenon would sur
prise anyone who had left the civilized world JO years ago
r.nd came back to it today. IUit he would be surprised at
more than the number of motor vehicles now to bo seen
on the streets, lie would be surprised at the number of
so-called luxuries which have become necessities among us.
And all these so-called luxuries have made life more liv
able; they have extended our reach and raised life from
t'Je plane of the primitive.
; Tho development of the automobile and its increasing
uso is only one more indication that our standard of liv
ing has been raised. We know what we want and, even at
the cost of some little hardship, if that is necessary, we
life going to get it. Wo may call It "motoritis" if we like,
bjit tho point is that it is n good thing to have, nod thai
it will enduro until something even better than the motor
ciir makes its appearance. And then we shall go in for
