INCHES FROM
The Golden-Plated Rule
Bg Lillian Ptttchal Dag
O.f
Our suburb Is small,
Wo have only one malt a day,
Many call for theirs at the 1'
Yet th6 postman grouches.
Ho's twenty-five, six feet tall.
Complains bo's worked to death.
Heavy mall bags, low pay, H. 0. h.
That's the doleful tune he sings.
He circulated a petition.
Asked ub all for gratuities.
Wanting "tips like n negro waiter 1
And ho an employe of Uncle am !
I'd risk my life in the wnr.
Dangerous, thankless social scrvke.
Others got tho credit, I the' risk.
Became I was n Republican.
But I hadn't whined.
It was for my beloved country.
I como of soldier ancestry.
Believe In being a good sport.
So the postman made no hit with me.
If lie didn't like his Job, get out.
Plenty of others nt high pay.
I didn't subscribe to the tip list.
Let them go to Burleson, not us.
High taxes we paid were enough.
Postman groaned over my papers.
I take four wrlto for them.
His pointed hint I ignored.
Despise takers of tips from women.
One morning he brought no papers.
I asked him about them.
His answer was violent, abusive:
"Why don't yc hire n black?
Cheap I It's a slave yc want!"
"ra prefer a good one," I said.
"He might no whine anyway?
Havo you so self-respect?"
He behaved like n street gamin.
I wanted to spank him.
But I didn't.
I locked him in the nail closet.
It'it dark, but ventilated on top.
Asked him to get my cash box.
He dropped his bag and went in.
Then I slnmmcd tho door.
He kicked and raged no use.
"Now you see here!" I said firmly.
"You're acting like a spoiled baby.
Your mother owes you a spanking.
Might have made a inan of you.
Hhc'ri left J on unfinished.
I'm going to finish you!"
"H-how?" He was getting scared.
"Painless method I" I nssurcd him.
Then 1 Rat down and read to him.
He listened in spite of himself.
Stories of early American pioneers.

A History Lesson '
My grtat-rranutather was one.
Ox teams back-breaking labor,
Family prayer, neighborly kindness.
Happiness In the midst of hardship.
I ended with a Bible verse.
"As ye would that others do to you,
Do ye even so to them."
It was very (till in the closet.
"That's what they lived by then.
Heaven knows we need It now.
Oo, lad and do try to be n Man!"
'Infanta' shoes." she reasoned, "are
well made. The materials are rood, and
those who buy them undoubtedly re
ceive the worth of their money, liut
they are certainly not the Ideal solution
for babies' foot troubles. There must be
some wav of building up the tiny shoes
so that they will support tho arch and
at the same time glvo full play to tho
little toes, without adding additional
weight."

the Idealaolutlon. The problem woa far
more dimcult than sho had Imagined,
but at last sho produced a pair that
seemed to meet all the requirements.
Unfortunately, however, orthopedic
specialist did not agree with her. They
pointed out several faults, so she had
to start out all over again. Tlnally,
after months of work and long nights or
study, she was successful. The shoes
not only passed her "mot'teHd test" and

troubles but, which was even more lm
