I still kinda' have the urge, but mighty few take any part in this day except on the receivin' end.
I have watched people change slow like, but I think that the two years, during the war and after made the biggest change in them and they became a little selfish and thoughtless of the other fellow.
The new children now won't ever know any different unless they live the good old way.
WRITER'S NOTES: (Harold J. Moss of Lincoln)
Mr. Woods reference to the boys `chinning' the Mormon girls might seem to be paralleled by the present day term of `neckin' but the two are entirely unrelated in form, action or results.
His tale of the deadly results of coal oil as a head or haid treatment has been told recently in Nebraska and of all things by a barber[!?] It must have been handed down and around to considerable extent. It is rather fantastic and course pure fiction.
As to discouraging and putting to route the worms which shown an affinity for small children, the process here of a coal oil soaked finger stuck in the mouth is reversed.
Instead of the coal oil business some folks advise the placing of a [toothsome?] morsel of food in the mouth and keeping there, the theory being that, far from driving the worms out, it will lure then out in search of this a petizing [tidkit?] of food via the mouth.
