As a Man
Thinketh
By ANNETTE C. SYMMES
® McClure Newsnaver Syndicate,
WNU Service, :
F WAS after nine o'clock in the
morning when Doris Wilson
awoke and began arranging her
memories of last night, and her im-
pressions regarding what today was
to bring forth. To begin with, she
‘had had a sharp quarrel with Stan
about the car. Just because she
wanted it especially today, to go te
that tea at the Country club, he
must have ‘business’ that demand-
ed it.
That meant she would have to go
An the trolley—so plebeian!--she,
'who had been a beauty-parlor girl
before Stan had made her mis‘ress
iof his five-room flat, with all mode
ern improvements!
Horrid old flat, she hated it! Al-
ready the furniture was out of style,
and Stan wouldn't buy new! He
wouldn't let her have in a woman
but one day a week, either, nor let
her send anything but the flat pieces
‘to the laundry. There were clothes
in the set tubs this minute that had
been there a week—and Stan hateful
as could be, because he couldn't find
a clean handkerchief. Well, she'd
have to sozzle out a few, she sup-
posed, to shut his yawp!
i She rose and donned a soiled pink
kimono and pink slippers, and drew
a boudoir cap over her frowsy
“bob.” Stan had got his own break-
fast, and the dirty dishes were
spread on the set tubs. Of course
he had taken the last egg! There
was nothing left but stale bread and
coffee and corn-flakes for her! She
threw fresh coffee in upon the
‘steeped grounds in the pot and
filled it with water.
At half-past eleven she began the
interesting process of dressing. At
12:30 a rosy, curled, silk-clad, fra-
grant creature who in popular par.
lance ‘looked like a million dol-
lars,” left the apartment and sought
the China restaurant for her first
decent food that day.
Subsequently she took in the first
afternoon offering of pictures at the
“Elite” Picture Palace, and took

the trolley for the Country club at
three. She had ordered no dinner
and no supplies for next morning.

Four hours before Doris woke
that morning Susie Walker, on a
farm 20 miles away, rolled sleepily
out of bed and started her regular
morning routine. With trimly
‘curled hair, and in a clean bunga-
low dress with a practicable apron,
she prepared breakfast for her hus-
band and self, and put up kis din.
ner, for he was working away frem
home that day.
The wash-water was hot and Sue
filled the hand-ran washing machine
while the children were dressing.
Then, while fifteen-year-old Sam fin-
ished his father's cheres and ten-
‘year-old Bertha scrambled eggs and
made toast for her brothers and
herself, twelve - year - old Tommy
manfully ran the machine ‘so as te
give mother a good start.” Sue bus-
tled about, emptying the machine,
‘filling the boiler, when required,
with clothes to boil, and putting up
three lunches, so that when the
school bus came by at 8:15 the
children would be ready.
After they were safely off she shut
off the stove, left the washing to
care for itself and, with a long coat
over her, skipped half a mile down
the road to Mrs. Brown’s house.
There was a new baby, and the
nurse had been taken ill and gone
home before the mother was able
to get about; so every day Sue ran
in and bathed and dressed the baby
and made the mother comfortable
and advised and oversaw the inex-
perienced young girl who was do-
ing the work and ‘helping out.”
It was ten o’clock when she got
back, but the fire had kept and more
than half thé white clothes were
boiled off. She turned to with a will,
and by twelve the last stocking
flapped on the line.
“Lucky I don’t have to get din-
ner today,” she reflected, eating
warmed-up potatoes and cold meat
on a corner of the kitchen table.
The chickens and the old horse
had to be fed, the dishes washed,
rooms tidied, beds made, after this.
She had to pump all the water in the
sink and heat all she used over the
stove. She had oil lamps to fill and
trim, too. But she had time for a
few minutes’ rest on the couch be-
fore the children came from school
Dishes washed and clothes fold-
ed, father suggested a family ride
in the flivver. Leaning back in the
car, the tired ache seeping out of
her limbs, the children’s chatter in
her ears and father's brown hand
on the wheel, Sue sighed from a
full heart, “I believe I'm the lucki-
est woman in the world.”

In a restaurant 20 miles away a
thunderous-looking young man and
a sulky-looking woman were finish-
ing their meal.

The “Times” Features Cris-
well Wood Cut In Article
On Covered Bridges Over
Chickies Creek & Elsewhere
The observance of Columbia's
Sesquicentennial was further en-
hanced last week by an article
which appeared on Sunday in the
New York Times descriptive of
the old covered bridges which still
exist in this part of the county.
Illustrated by a wood cut by Col-
umbia’s own artist, Gardiner C.
Criswell, the bridge which stil!
stands over Chicquies Creek was
the subject of the following in-
teresting article which we quote
below:
Covered Bridges Still Found
The 1938 motorist, whether out
in a snapper new model or a car
of 1930 vintage, experiences a
thrill when he crosses a covered
briiige. This type of bridge defi-
nitely belongs to passing America
and about each of them some aura
or life of other days still clings.
Some of them approximate the
date of the Revolution, others are
only a century old, many belong
to the Civil War period, and a
few date later than the Seventies.
Highways off the main road
offer the best chances of finding
them, since the coming of trucks
and moving vans has necessitated
the building of steel and concrete
topless bridges. Sentiment has not
stood in the way of the progress
of industrial transportation.
The covered bridge is a subject
that appeals to both artists and
photographers. Print makers are
prone to relax with this interesting
subject, which ranks with old mills
and weathered ‘barns as a favorite
theme in photographic and art ex-
hibitions. :

drive or a week’s tour over roads

Thrills Aplenty
At New
for Women
York Fair, 1939
N EW YORK (Special). — The
thrill capital for women next
year will be the New York World's
Fair. Designers, merchants, manu-
facturers, artists, governments—
all “the authorities”—have seen to
that.
And yet, uniquely enough, there
will be no “woman’s building” at
the $150,000,000 exposition. Fair
officials at the outset decided
against such “segregation.” Gro-
ver A. Whalen, president of the
Fair Corporation, said that “a wo-
man’s building at a modern-day
exposition would not be in tune
with the progress of womankind.”
Now, in this last year of con-
struction, it is already obvious that
woman is going to have her due at
the New York fair. Those fortunate
enough to attend are going to
know thrills that will live with
them always. The following pre-
sents only a pot-shot at all there
will be to interest and delight wo-
men in the 1216% acres of fair
grounds. It is one observer's idea
of what to see where.
Some of the Wonders
House of Jewels —a $5,000,000
display, by gem mining concerns
and leading jewelers, showing
stones in the rough, precious gems
in finest settings, famous gems and
perfect examples of goldsmith’'s
and silversmith’s art.
Apparel and Accessories — in
their own building along Petticoat
Lane — a $750,000 exhibit of all
dear to woman in her costuming
and in furs, hats, handbags and
similar wearables or gadgets.
Cosmetics Building — showing
just about everything ever done
since the history of beauty aides
and preparations began a few
thousand years ago—with accent
on the cosmetics and perfumes of
today and a look at those of tomor-
row. (They put thousands of dol-
lars’ worth in the cornerstone
alone.)
Hall of Textiles — showing how
they (worms to machines) make
woven fabrics—hand looms, dem-
onstrations of needle arts, dis-
courses on home furnishing mate-
rials—silks and woolen here, ray-
ons in one wing, cottons in anoth-
er, 68,098 square feet, to be exact,
Health and Science
Home Furnishings Building—
“heart of the Community Interests
Zone,” with its focal display show-
ing the meaning of “Home” in
present and future phases and how
to create one of your own—all in
exhibits that thrill,
Medicine and Public Health and
Science and Education Building—
a “famous first” exhibit showing
the wonders to be accomplished by
due attention to the “body beauti-
ful”—a must attraction that’ll not
leave one with a dull moment.
Gas Industries Building—every-
thing from a laboratory to an all-
gas house, a cooking school and a
gas flame 50 feet high—spectacu-
lar but looking to comfort at home.
Food Buildings 1, 2 and 3—put-
ting romance into the age-old task
of fixing a meal, by and with the
world’s knowledge and products.
Horticultural Exhibit—acres of
gardens, flowers and equipment
(with a chance for a cup of tea).
Thrills in a Lifetime
Theme Centre—thrill of a life-
time from a ride on the “Magic
Carpet” through the 200-foot globe
and the World of Tomorrow.
Contemporary Arts Building—
World’s Fair Theatre (music and
drama)—Consumer Building—an
“Hospitality Centre,” first of its
kind, for feminine get-togethers—
spectacles on the island stage of
New York State’s Amphitheatre
on Fountain Lake—products and
kitchens of the world in two score
foreign-built pavilions — the Hall
of Nations, the Court of State
Buildings, the $3,000,000 Federal
Exhibit — buildings of industries
and the City of New York—night-
ly spectacles of water-fire-color-
and-sound—280 acres of amuse-
ments—and, withal, a setting of
courts and garden with an ample
supply of shaded benches.
Refreshment to go on and on
may be had in any one of some 80
restaurants, affording a total of
43,200 seats, and serving the meals
of almost every known nation.

can get information from the State
highway departments in the terri-
tory they plan to cover. In the
East there is still a mild profusion
of covered bridges, although occa-
sionally reports lead one to believe
that practically all of them have
been destroyed or replaced.
Connecticut has preserved but
three, while Vermont still has
more than 200 and Pennsylvania
more than 300. Maine, New York
and New Hampshire together have
sixty of these old structures re-
maining,
Early settlers used wood, the
most available material, for bridg-
ing streams, as they forged west-
ward. Builders, many of them
amateurs, devised with great in-
genuity bridges on trussed, hand-
hewn rameworks. They used white
pine, cedar, hemlock, oak and other
durable woods that grew in the
forests. Many of the bridges were
constructed as temporary crossings,
but their strength proved surpris-
ing, and both the years and
traffic flowed over them without
Mileage Hints
By J. F. Winchester
Bupervisor of Motor Vehicle
Equipment, Esso Marketers
HEN % ‘motorist knows that the
combustion chamber of his car
generates a heat of 3,000 degrees F.,
he must have a great deal of
respect for the efficiency of the
cooling system
which makes
the operation o
yd his car poss
Brad ble. Further, he
should realize
fl the importance
of good care of
that system and
promptly reme-
dy any damage
or wear which
wi impairs the ef-
ficiency of the
system. ;
Of course, all of the heat gener-
ated by combustion is not dissi-
pated through the cooling system.
The upper cylinder wall, for in-
stance, may reach a maximum tem-
perature of 600 degrees F. and the
lower cylinder wall 400 degree F.
The temperature fa the crankcase
is normally about 200 degrees F.
All this means that the thin film
of motor oil which keeps metal
from rubbing on metal and pro-
tects the moving parts from wear
must 3 withstand a temperature
about twice as great as that re-
uired to boil water. It is not easy
ID realize when one sees fresh oil
impairing their continued useful-
ness.
If the passing motorist is lucky
enough to catch the moment when
a load of hay is passing through
abridge, he will do well to step
his engine and race under cover
to listen to the horses’ hoofs and
to smell the imprisoned fragrance
of new-mown hay. He will catch
an unforgettable impression of the
America that was.
The varied spans of the bridges
will be found of interest,some of
them crossing creeks of narrow
width and other ranging several
hundred feet in length over rivers
