HelfiS ave These Children THE people of Georgia have been asked to do their part, in common with all Americans, in raising a fund to save from starvation three and one-half million babies and children of Poland and other , stricken countries in Central Europe. Ijtt The appeal is one that cannot be disre- To begin with, it comes from sources of unquestionable authority. We are told by the Rea Cross, by the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and by every other organization with representatives at the of suffering, that the need is impera- Ive. There was a fund to meet the need. By January it will be exhausted. No food can > had from the soil itself until the next harvest. Outside aid must be rendered or he children will be doomed. To ask why America must come to the res cue is to beg the question. They have cried ;o us for help because they believed in us. knd no American who for one moment con siders the little lives at stake, will turn a deaf ear to their call. Georgians, leas, of all, will refuse to an swer. The nation is organized for the cam paign of giving, under the lead|rship of Her bert Hoover. The State chairman is E. Mar vin Underwood, distinguished Atlanta at torney and former general counsel for the federal railroad administration. With him are associated on the executive committee a number of Georgia’s most public spirited men and women, representing such organi zations as the Red Cross, the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Young Women’s Christian Association, the Jewish Joint Dis tribution Committee, the Knights of Colum bus and the Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The committee lays before the State a sit uation so simple in its essentials, so heart touching in its plain facts, that prompt sub scriptions will surely follow by the thou sands. Children are suffering. Many of them are babes in arms. Others, but little older, have felt the ’-unger pinch so sharply that their faces are lined and gaunt like’ those of prisoners tortured !:• the inquisi tion. We can prevent them from further suf fering and save them from d. ing, if every one w.ill give. Were these little folk, -with their rags and skeleton figures and haggard eyes, to stumble through the streets of our Z»wn cities, every hand would be lifted to * help them and every pocketbook would be emptied before they would be suffered to perish. That they happen to be a few thousand miles away does not mitigate the tragedy. We must give, and give before it is too late. The South and the Tariff VITAL In Its bearing on the welfare of the south and enlisting the Interest of every class of business and trade; is the Southern Tariff Congress, which has been called to meet in Atlanta January 27, 28 and 29. All organized industries, chambers of commerce, farm organizations, governors, commissioners of agriculture, women’s clubs and political bodies have been invited to send twenty-five or more delegates to the con gress. A general invitation to attend has been extended to members of the Southern Tariff association and to all citizens who are concerned in and prosperity of the south. Thus it would appear that the • meeting will be representative of every in k terest and will assemble a most distinguished I company of men and women. I The Congress, absolutely ncn-partisan in character, meets for the announced purpose of discussing a tariff as it applies to south ern production and Southern industries. There is no doubt that the tariff will be one of the most important matters to oc cupy the attention of the national congress, i and it is proper that the south receive con sideration as her products deserve. To rec ommend to the United States Tariff Commis sion and to congress schedules, on southern products that will equalize the cost of pro duction in this country with that of foreign countries, and to distribute fairly the burdens and benefits among all industries, all classes and all sections, is the goal to which the Southern Tariff Congress will bend its ut most efforts. “The movement that will reach a head in Atlanta in January is probably the first which appears to have the unanimous ap proval of all political, agricultural, indus- I trial and commercial interests. It affords an exceptional opportunity to the south to present its case to congress, insofar as the tariff is concerned, with a united front and an unmistakable purpose. POINTED PARAGRAPHS 1 The map who lives to no purpose lives to a bad purpose.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL* Electrified Railroads THE announcement that the Chilean Government’s new loan of seven and three-quarter million pounds in gold will provide for the electrification of the State railways draws attention to a realm of scientific and industrial enterprise in which the people of the United States are particu larly interested. It was more than two decades ago that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tunnel trains were electrified. Some ten years later, in 1906, electric motive power was applied to the New York Central terminal, and also to the West Jersey and Seashore. In 1910 the Pennsylvania's New York terminal under went the same improvement, as did also the Detroit river tunnel. And in the years im mediately preceding and following, the news papers would report from time to time the electrification of sundry short lines of rail roads. It was in 1915, however, on the Three Forks-Deer Lodge division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul system, that the dis placement of steam by electric locomotives was inaugurated on an extensive scale. That particular divis’oi is one hundred and fif teen miles in length and crosses the main Continental Divide, striking right through the rugged heart of the mountains and en countering many long gradet and short radius curves. It was selected as the sys tem’s severest test of the new engines’ power and dependability. With what success the venture was re warded may be inferred from the fact that today the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul is electrically operated along six hundred* and forty-nine miles of its main line, the change having recen’ly been completed to its Pacific coast terminals at Seattle. Con cerning the character of the service, an of ficial of the road has said: “Our electrifi cation has been tested by the worst winter in the memory of modern railroaders. There were times when every steam locomotive in the Rocky Mountain district was frozen, but the electric locomotive went right along. Electrification has in every way exceeded our hopes, not only as respects tonnage handled and mileage made, but also in regularity of operation.” Engineers of the highest ability and re pute say that the substitution of electricity for steam makes possible a gain of fully fif ty per cent in the available capacity of tracks and other facilities; and they esti mate that by the same means at least one hundred million tons of coal could be saved annually. It has been pointed out in this conn ction that on a certain Southern coal road, having long hauls to reach the con sumer, .approximately twenty-five per cent of the coal output “is used on the locomotives which haul the coV. to market and return the ‘empties.’ ” Tfiat electrification of America’s rail roads will come suddenly is almost incon ceivable, so prodigious would be the capital outlay and so manifold are the problems which the individual lines and systems pre sent. It appears altogether likely, however, that in time electricity will largely supplant steam in this sphere of transportation. The action of the Chilean Government is in line with that of nearly all nations which re cently have given the matter attention. In a country so rich in water power resources as the United States, the change seems, vir tually foregone. The Inventor of the Thimble THE inventor of most great blessings to mankind are men whose names have lived in memory, whose fame has gone down to posterity along with the prod ucts of their brains. There is, however, one simple little household article, a veritable godsend in its small way, whose creator would seem to deserve more glory than has actually been his lot. We speak of the thimble. A small thing, the thimble, yet what a boon it has been to the women of the world! Who can say how many rosy fingers it has saved from muti lation, how many pretty eyes from tears, how many soft hearts from suffering? It has been a dear companion alike to the gen tlewoman with her leisurely embroidery and to her less fortunate sisters who must patch and darn the day long, to say noth ing of the seamstresses whose very bread and butter would have been doubly hard of earning had it not been for the little alumi num cup. In fact, the thimble might lay just claim to the title of the greatest pro tector of the fair sex history has ever known. One might suppose that the thimble has always been there —ready whenever the needlewoman took up her task. Yet .only two hundred years ago it was unknown— before that, sewing was surely one of the most troublous of the crafts. The man who gave the thimble to humanity was one John Lofting, of London, England, a metal worker by trade. Whether Lofting was, some unfortunate bachelor doomed to replace his own buttons, of whether he was the spouse of some indus trious housewife whose labors he yearned to lighten, history does not inform us. At any rate, it was he who conceived the idea of a metal cap to be placed on the thumb, so as to aid the sewer in pushing the needle through the cloth. He called it the "thumb bell.” Time saw the thumb bell slip from the thumb to the finger and the name softened to the thimble of today. But time should never obliterate the name of John Lofting, the benefactor of millions of women. The Pluck of Caruso THE breaking of a tiny blood vessel in a man’s throat is $ little thing in itself— in general, physicians say, a mere in disposition that causes nothing worse than nose bleed. But when it happens to Enrico Caruso the whole world notes it with deep concern. No surer proof of the remendous popu larity- of the Metropolitan’s golden tenor could be cited than the anxiety with which the public read of his recent misfortune. There is none.whose hold is stronger on peo ple than is his. Everyone rejoices that the mishap was not even serious enough to pre- 1 vent his appearance in opera a few nights after it occurred. Caruso’s popularity is not dur to his voice alone, though the magic of that voice—like no other ever heard from human throat—is the principal reason for the high esteem, amounting at times to adoration, with which the music lovers of two continents re gard him. Caruso, the man, has a like prestige with Caruso the singer. His gay cameraderie, his readiness to help in any good cause, his keen zest in all that is going forward —these at tributes have won him liking wherever he has gone. Most of all, he has endeared him self to his public because, fai frfim being ‘enweramental, he has the reputation for al ways doing his best. Atlanta knows this as well as any city. There has never teen an occasion, among all the score of times when ae has sung here, that he did not, to use an inelegant but ex pressive term, “give them all he had.” Even when the wall of the blood vessel broke, he kept singing until the act was over and vol unteered, if his audience wished it, to finish the opera. That was typical of Caruso. And the mighty roar of refusal from the audience to permit him to continue, is typical of Ca ruso’s place in the hearts of the American people. BOIL THE GERMS OUT By H. Addington Bruce IF you want to prevent colds from running through your entire family, if you want to help keep influenza, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases from becoming epidemic, see to it that lour table dishes after every meal are washed not merely in lukewarm water, but in water that is at a boil. Medical authorities are beginning to emphasize this as one of the most essential, though one of the most commonly ignored, measures for the prevention of winter plagues. I wish, indeed, that a certain article in a recent issue of the New York Medical Record could be placed in the hands of every man and woman. It is *an article by Dr. Charles Lynch, a colonel in the medical corps of the United States army, and it details findings of sundry influenza rearches in military camps. Dr. Lynch frankly gives it as his opinion that the non-sterilization of eating utensils used by victims of colds, influenza, etc., and afterward used by other people, is perhaps the most potent of all causes of spreading saliva borne infection. He bases this belief on a number of remarkable observations, as the following: “When the influenza epidemic struck us at Newport News we had two groups of soldiers, one of wihch used mess kits which were wash ed in tepid water. The other group use table ware or washed their mess kits in boiling wa ter. “Our consolidated tabulation shows the lat ter —the table ware group, including the in dividual method, but with boiling water —had a strength of 9,778, with 412 cases of in fluenza. The former —the individual mess kits in tepid water—had a strength of 12,- 727, with 2,543 cases.” Also, detailing Influenza conditions at an ordance depot: . • “Besides the soldiers present many civil ians were employed there. They and the small ordance organization constituted 1,150 persons, and messed from table ware. Their rate of influenza f an eighteen-day period was 82 per 1,000, with an average daily in cidence of 4.5 per 1,000. “The two fire and guard organizations, whose strength was 445, ate from mess kits washed by the old-line method. In eighteen days they had 171 cases. “Yet in every respect the first and guard organizations were better off from the sani tary standpoint than the greatly overcrowded civilian group, save xmly fn their method of washing their eating utensils.” Further than this, Dr. Lynch describes ex periments leaving little doubt as to the part played by ordinary washing methods in trans mitting infection. Boil, boil, boil is the les son these experiments stress. And while Dr. Lynch’s warning message is addressed primarily to military authorities, it clearly is of equal import to civilians. In the home, the club, the hotel, the restaurant, personal safety against winter diseases would indeed seem to depend more than most of us suspect on sterilization of the dishes out of which we eat our food, the knives, the forks, and the spoons with which we eat it. (Copyright, 1920, by The Associated News papers) LAFAYETTE, WE ARE, STILL HERE By Dr. Frank Crane Any one who judges America by its politi cal acts is mistaken. To understan America one must realize that it is a vast beehive of people who are at tending to their own business. They want as little government as possible and what they do they do for themselves and do not expect officials to do for them. It must not, therefore, be understood that the real America is holding aloof from Eu rope and* its dist.ess, as our political acts might indicate. Especially is this true in the case of our relations with France. America and France have always been sweethearts. France was the nation most deeply injured by the iron heel of German militarism. It will take at least ten years to repair the physical damage done by the ‘errific Prus sian onslaught. Seven per cent of the total area of France has been desolated. The report of the Ameri can committee for devastated France says: “In this territory most of the are still desert wastes full of shell-holes, the farm houses are ruined, the prosperous in dustrial centers and villages completely de stroyed. More than 600,000 wrecked houses were counted in this region. Furthermore, of the 1,500,000 who died in the war 600,000 were men of ‘he devastated dis tricts.” The committee above mentioned is now at work in a campaign to raise $1,250,000 in the United States to assist beloved France to recover from her terrbile wounds. This sum is needed in the vast ’.ork of recon struction, such as supplying hospitals, work rooms, looms, and sewing machines; supplies of live stock, tools, seeds, building materials, clothing, etc.; loans of money to the farmers and merchants to help them to their feet; schools of manual training and domestic science; transportation; rebuilding of homes, schools, and churches; food and care for the children. One of the most affecting problems is that of the children. The four years of terrible privation have done them infinite harm. The agents of the American committee are at work especially on the problems of the Aisne and are doing everything humanly pos sible to restore this region which has been seared and scarred by war. This committee asks and ought to receive the help of evex American whose prosperity has not hardened his heart. You can send in your contributions, no mat how small, to Joseph R. Swan, treasurer, 140 Broadway, New York City. Said the mayor of Anizy; “A star of the American Flag became de tached and is fixed above the Aisne. By its light we live.” (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane) A LULLABY The moon, with fingers dipt in light, Spreads o’er the earth a glow; The fleecy clouds caress the night, While over all the flow Os gentle wind that softly sing A tender lullaby To one who came—all pdace to bring— From out the quiet sky: "O little One, who slumbers deep, We pray that Thou shalt lull to rest All save the good, that men may keep This Vision of the Blest!” —LOUISE BARILI, ‘1920. TO ELIZABETH I do not know from whence you came, baby girl, Elizabeth girl, Mayhap your be of downy clouds was floating by in silken crowds, While the winds of March on caprice intent dropped you down through an azure rent. It must have been that sunbeams strayed all around and over your face, and loved you, and stayed. And when you smiled and opened your eyes, there was mirrored in their depths the azure skies. r—ALIDE NEELY. CLUBS FOR THE LONELY By Frederic J. Haskin NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 16. —New York has a new and novel club which is at tracting v- ; dcspread attention through out the country. It is called the R. A. D. club, which means simply the Registered Ac quaintance Dance club. Ostensibly, the only object o. the club is to give dances, but really its big purpose is to combat loneliness —supposed to be the special curse of New 7ork—by promoting sociabil ity on a large scale. Every week or so, the R. A. D. club gives a larg. dance, usually in the ballroom of one of the big hotels, where, discarding the formality of an introduction, all the members proceed to get acquainted and exchange dances with each other, secure in the knowledge that the strangers they are dancing with are quite respectable. For the club guarantees that. Anybody in New York' can apply for membership in the club, but not everybody is eligible. It all de pends upon how satisfactorily he or she fills out the pertient (some say impertinent) lit tle blank attached to the membership card, which requires a great deal of information. In addition to name, age, and address the club registrar must know the name of the applicant’s home town, if he is not a New Yorker; when he left it, and the length of time he has been ir. New York; whether he is single, married, or widowed; his occupation, present employer and employers within the last four years, and the names cf the schools and colleges he has attended —in fact, all the details which any American mother would be glad to know about her children’s acquain ances, but seldom does. At the end of the blank, .moreover, Is a space for the names of two references, called character references, with the suggestion that the names bu_ -ess men, physicians or other professional men, school or college of ficials or clergymen would be preferred. The blanks-are examined and filed in the club headquarters, and the references investigated. The Social Procedure Having satisfied the club authorities in this respect, any member is eligible to meet any other member “Your membership is your introd: iti n” is the club s.ogan. If an R. A. D. youth sees an unknown R. A. D. flap per with whom he would like to dance, he does not wait to be introduced, but goes and asks her. Usually, he says something like this: ***How do you do? My name is Smith. You look as if you danced awfully well. Will you let me have one?” To which the R. A. D. flapper replies in this vein: “So glad to meet you, Mr. Smith. My name is Jones, Yes, I can let you have the ninth.” “The R. A. S. club wishes to emphasize that there j no ‘jinx’ in its plan,” said the secretary of ‘he club in explaining the idea. “Members are not expected to contribute time or money to any uplift or welfare schemes, and they will not be made the subjects of any uplift or welfare work themselves. It is a dancing club, and the members join to dance with each other, and not to read Browning, listen to lecture; on Yogiism or the fall of the Roman Empire, or join in fiery debates on the social significance of modern art. Nobod. is putting up the money—the club is entirely self-supporting and has been from its start. The initiation fee is a dollar and the dances are a dollar a week, if paid for monthly, although tickets for single dances may be obtained if arranged for in advance. Guest tickets are issued only to prospective members. There are dancing in structors on the floor, for whose service an extra charge is made. "6hr present membership consists chiefly of college men and girls, and of the proses sional business and student class. There are doctors, teachers, artists, writers, men who are in banks —a bank president or two —and most of these young people, apparently in their late twenties.” When asked about the club’s origin, the secretary explafhed the idea had occurred to a few officials in the New York community service, after a particularly violent attack of some prominent clergyman on the city’s dance halls. "But I believe in dance halls,” declared a woman official connected with the service, adding an authoritative voice to the discus sion. “Why shouldn’t there be dance halls? I know from experience in my social service work that the public dance hall is the only means by which many young men and women can make acquaintances in New York City. A normal social life is one of the hardest things to procure in New York. Os course, such halls can be abused, but with proper super vision I should think —” “Yes, so should I,” declared another offi cial, “and why not start one with proper su pervision?” Out of this discussion grew the idea of the R. A. D. club, which is the most notable and progressive of all the various organizations that have been designed to prevent loneli ness, since the war. The war was the great awakener to the community’s responsibility in this respect. With all the society flappers rushing around and dancing with strange sol diers and sailors, and with their mothers chaperoning informal entertainments for war workers, and with people inviting both strange war. 'ors and war workers to their houses for week-ends and Sunday dinners, formal customs were bound to suffer, and they have bcm suffering ever since. In the middle west, especially, the custom of invit ing lonely strangers to dinners and parties still slot rishes to an amazing degree There* is a married couple in Akron, Ohio, for instance, who have recently received, a great deal of publicity because they have inau gurated a public at-home Wednesday evening. Sometimes they entertain as many as forty five persons, mostly strangers to them, in their attractive suburban home. Autos meet the guests at the station and carry them to a wide porch hung with Japanese lanterns, where they are usually greeted by the small daughter of the household, and led upstairs to take off their things. The whole atmosphere is delightfully in formal and homelike. The hostess does not in the least mind having a dozen or more strange women and flappers pile their hats and coats on her bed, and she never com plains when some bashful youth scratches her favorite Victrola record. The only at tempt to keep track of people at all is by tagging each with- a card bearing his name, so, as to eliminate the nuisance of extensive introductions. A Novel Hostess Sometimes plays are read by guests who happen to be elocutionists. Sometimes the evening turns into a musical one with piano and violin solos, and at other times it is purely frivolous with sofa pillow fights, im promptu impersonations and much dancing to a pianola and Victrola. Mrs. Russell L. Brooker, who is the heroine <. this unique entertainment for the lonely, never tries to dominate the party herself, but allows the young people to choose their own diversions. Much of the time. Indeed, she is in the kitch en preparing lunch which is one of the crown ing features of the evening. Back to “Normal” Comparatively speaking, very few of us have done any real hard work in the last two years. But things are getting back to normal, and with normal times all of us must do a normal amount of work. God in tended it that way, so buckle up and get ready.—Conyers Times. Nobody who refuses to work has a right to eat. There will be plenty of opportunities for honest exercise next year. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1920* Around the World Tri-Weekly News Flashes From All Over the Earth. Funeral Ship The army transport jyheafon, which arrived at New York last week from werp and Bordeaux, brought the bodies of 2,479 American soldiers. It was the larg est number of dead to be returned on one ship. As the transport moved up the harbor, her flag at half mast, her decks were de serted except for her crew, but passing boats recognized her as a funeral ship and dipped their colors. As each of the cof fins was placed on the pier in Hoboken an American flag was laid upon it. A mili tary guard was placed to stand watch un til all the bodies are shipped to their last resting places. Sell Children Victims of the famine in China have been selling their children. A report just re ceived states that in some famine districts fairs have been held at which the exhibits were children, the boys selling for $2 each and girls fairly mature and pretty bringing a higher-price. In large areas 95 per cent of the popula tion is declared to be suffering, 5 ger cent being the highest estimate of the people able to sustain themselves. According to the report, “the only practicable way of sav ing the majority is the opening of food kitchens all over the stricken regions. That will need a huge organization.” .Army Figures Statistics compiled in the war depart ment show the proposed army of 280, 000 authorized by congress is smaller than the present armies of Great Brit ain, France, Italy, Japan or Russia. The British army this year numbers 310,500; France, 794,000; Italy, 300,- 000. The Russian army is estimated at 428,00, but this figure is only a guess. Under the Versailles treaty the stand ing army of Germany will be limited to 150,000. Idle Britons More than 194,000 persons are now un employed in Great Britain, according to the London Daily Herald, which says the total has been reached by careful and conserva tive estimates, based on official informa tion. In this calculation no count is made of persons whose work has been curtailed so that it engages them less than a full week. Coal at SIBO a Ton Coal was sold in Vienna by the pound at the rate of SIBO a ton when the tem perature suddenly dropped to below freezing. Venders with a poor quality of the fuel drove up to the curbs of the popuar streets and disposed of their coal. In Sea Thirty Months After being in the sea for two and a half years, boxes from the steamer War Knight, sunk ’ during the war, have been washed ashore in good condition at Freshwater bay. Isle of Wight. Election Probe The federal district attorney for Florida has been instructed by the department of justice to investigate election riots between negroes and whites at Oconee, Fla., last month to determine whether any federal statutes have been violated. Wilson Buys Home The purchase for President w;ison of the former home, in Washington, of Henry P. Fairbanks, 2340 S street, northwest, is announced by R. D. Boll ing, the president’s brother-in-law. The home will be the permanent residence of the president after his retirement from office March 4. Mr. Bollin said the property would pass into possession of its new owner February 15 or before New Canal lavement by the federal government of the Calcasieu river to ‘provide a twelve-foot channnel between the city of Lake Charles La., and the Gulf of Mexico, is recommended m a report filed with congress by the army engineering corps. Construction at Lake of a turnin S basin 1,000 feet long and 400 feet wide also is recommended. Washington Relics A miniature portrait of George Washing ton painted at the request of Martha Wash ington by Charles Wilson Peale, has been purchased at auction here by the Mount Ver non association for $9,600. The miniature one of a number of Washington relics from estate of Dr. David Stuart, a kinsman of Washington, is a portrait on ivory in a gold frame, and reposes in the original leather case. It was presented by Martha Washing ton to Rosalie Eugenia Stuart, a daughter of Dr. Stuart. Other relics purchased by the Mount Ver non association include Washington’s field telescope, which i brought $4,000. and two mahogany chairs which he had in his dining room at Mt. Vernon. One of the chairs brought $l,lOO, and the other S7OO. Washington’s shaving outfit, consisting of two razors, a hone, strop, brush, comb and mirror, in a morocco case, was sold to an anonymous purchaser from New York for $950. Oil Rush z A squadron of northwest mounted po lice, fur-clajd and patroling on snow shoes, is holding back frenzied oil pros pectors at Fort McMurray, British Co lumbia, to prevent them from risking their lives on the 1,000-mile trail to the fabulous fields opened up at Fort Nor man by the Imperial Oil company. A repetition of the Yukon gold rush, in which many lives were sacrificed, is feared by the mounted police and by offi cials of the Hudson Bay company and Northern Trading company, Ltd., whose trading posts are the only white settle tlements along the Peace and Mackenzie rivers leading to the rich oil strike. Riot Aftermath The entire constabulary garrison in Manila has been disarmed and placed under arrest, and complaints were'being prepared for the prosecution of seventy-eight constabulary sol diers who admitted participation in the riot Wednesday resulting in deaths of four Americans and seven Filipinos. Shipbuilding Record American shipbuilders broke the world’s pre-war record of launchings during the last fiscal year, according to given in the' annual report of the commissioner of navi gation. American ships built and document ed during the year aggregate 3,880,639 gross tons, the report says, adding that British ships under construction June 30, 1920, ag gregated 3,808,056 tons. Jail for Writers correspondents who write unfav orably of the Hungarian government are liable to deportation and native writers to prison sentences from ten years to life, ac cording to' new laws promulgated by the Austrian government. DOROTHY DIX TALKS BY DOROTHY DIX There’s Always a Way » Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndi cate, Inc. MR. W. L. GEORGE, the English novel ist, says that’ a woman is lacking in what our colored friends call “problus- - ness” if she doesn’t find out cn her honey moon whether swearing or tears is most es-. ;i j fective with her husband. A man is equally lacking in gumption if he doesn’t improve the same shining hours by ascertaining th« magic formula which will make his wife as dough in his hands and keep her thinking that he is a romantic hero seven” feet high, who is combination of Solomon, and Pan Swan, and Babe Ruth. Considering that a man’s ’ appiness and. ' comfort, and most of his prosperity, are de termined by the kind of a wife he has, and his ability to get along with ter, and to in- _ duce her to. do the things he wants her to do, it is a curious fact that so few msn take the trouble to study the psychology of *he ladies to whom they are married, so that they may • have, at least, a rudimentary idea of which way the cat wil’ jump under any given cir cumstances. Still less do they now how to make the cat jump at will, and in the direc- ; tion they desire. Yet to manage a woman is absurdly simple. It is only necessai for the man to find out whether to use the big stick, or a glib tongue, and then go to it. Undoubtedly there are a few women who enjoy having a master, who like to be pulled about by the hair o f their heads, so to speak, and told where to get on and where to get off, but the clinging vine kind of woman is - about as rare in these days as a blue rose, and a man needs to be very sure that he has gotten Patient Griselda as a life partner be fore he pulls the cave man stuff. Or else he will find himself in the hospital, or the di vorce court. • There is, however, a type of neurotic wom an, the woman who is utterly selfish, heartless, and mean, and who works herself X. up into hysterical rages, or else sham idism, in order to get her way, who never really loves any man who isn’t a brute, or respects a husbana of whom she is not afraid. There is something yellow in the makeup of a woman of this kind, and she will lick the hand that beats her. Therefore, when a man finds he is married ' to a woman who does »not respond to kind treatment, and who has no code of honor or duty of her own, only two courses are open to him. One is to leave her. The other is to terrorize her. For this type of woman the; only motto is, “Treat ’em rough.” With the great majority of women dlplo-jJL macy is the- thing. They like to be jollied along the domestic highway, and any man who will do it may lead his wife witherso- .; ever he chooses. A man is indeed stupid who does not find * out within six months after marriage that " the hammer is the most dangerous weapon you can have about a house, and that when a husband begins to knock his wife’s faults, he simply drives them in, and makes them a■“ permanents part of her character, while, on the contrary, they can be premanently re moved by a copious application of salve to the bumptious places. For a husband to find fault with his wife’s r cooking and her wastefulness simply makes her get her back up, and say that she hates cooking, and she did not marry to be any " man’s servant, and if she had known that she was getting a cheese-paring miser, she would have stayed at home with mother, or stuck to her job, and there is no use in burning her- • self to a crisp for a man who makes a god of ~ his stomach. So there! But when a man praises his wife’s cooking, and brags before her of what a wonderful artist in sauces she is, and when he extols her thrift, and advises his friends to get such a helpmeet as he has, he raises before her a standard to which she will come up, or die in the attempt. She’s got to make good. She’s got to live up to her blue china, and it is a•• pleasure to cook and save for a man who gives you the glad hand, and appreciates ( yqur^every Offoit. If a man has a wife who has a high temper, it is a waste of words for him to argue with her about controlling it. 'No high tempered person admits to anything but nerves, but if he will make a point of telling her how beau tiful she is when she is calm and serene, and how repulsive her face is when distorted with •; rage, she will cultivate a Mona Lisa smile • that won’t come off. For even the best of ~ women will jeopardize the happiness of their families before thej will their looks. If you-want to keep your wife happy and contented, pay her little attentions. Send her a bunch of flowers by a messenger now and then. Take her home a box of candy. Get her the book she has expressed a desire to read. Wire her a loverlike message when you are away from home. Don’t forget her birthday, nor the anniversary of your mar riage. Do these things and you may beat " and starve your wife, and she’ll sure thank • God on her knees for having gotten you. The thing that most men forget is that the key with which they unlock a woman’s heart « is love, and as long as the woman lives, it . works. After the. are married they throw away the key, and the door slams to, and they can’t remember the combination that . works their wives and makes them pleasant and agreeable to live with. The magic formula is 1-o-v-e, a turn to the right and a kiss between each letter, and the door will fly ope . again, for as long as a wife believes that her husband loves her, as long as he shows an interest in her and she knows that he is trying to make her happy, nothing else counts. And the man who doesn’t find out during his honeymoon that the way to manage & wife is through her heart deserves to be hen pecked.
