Character is what a fellow has left after the loan sharks close the mortgage on his home, confiscate his furniture and he is compelled to pawn his winter’s underwear in order to feed the kids.

One of the greatest troubles at the present time is that there are too many people stepping on the gas, when going in the wrong direction.

How can a fellow be classed as a deep thinker when he is possessed of a shallow mind?

There are men in almost every community who prefer to be rated intelectually by the size of their belts, rather than by the size of their hat bands.

On thing favorable about the March winds; they have never been know to blow a bass horn.

Just imagine oneself having all the gold and silver in the country and paying it on one’s debts—thaj is, as far as it would go.

The law of compensation seldom fails to equalize matters, as, for instance, if a fellow has one leg shorter than the other, he is generally compensated by the knowledge that he also has one leg longer than the other. Who can remember when horses used to be afraid of automobiles, and how people used to laugh about it? Since so many people are killed every day by automobiles, it really shows who had horse sense.

A good thing for liars to remember is that if a fish always kept its mouth shut, it would rarely be caught. Just cut this oue and paste it in your hat.

When a man speaks of every other man as being dishonest, it’s never safe to trust him further than one could throw a cow by the

tail.

There are many schemes by which people try to make a living without working, but none of them have ever been known to work.

The way to distinguish between tomato vines and weeds in the garden, is to cut them all down—if they come up again they are weeds.

Waiting for things to come your •way causes many disappointments. To get anywhere a man has to hustle; as for instance, if Columbus had waited for things to come to him, he never would have discovered America.

There is nothing so cheap as experience, provided, of course, one can-buy it in a second-hand store, or get it at a “five and ten.” It is better to'khove on the brake, kill your engine and be laughed at than to shoot the gas into her, and he cried over.

Some men can gaze on a few nudists and appear to enjoy the scenery; but when they are confronted with the naked truth—well, they just quit laughing, that’s all.

o CLASS CURTAINS ARE FIGURED THIS SEASON

The reason so many orators praise hard work and point out Its wonderful benefits to us, is because they are endeavoring to educate us so that we will do their share of it.

Styles come and go in house decoration as in everything else. A few years ago ye all used cretonne for overdraperies and out glass curtains were simple nets. Today our overdraperies have no pattern as a rule and the lace of the glass curtain silhouettes a graceful design against the light, of the window. There are many types of design in use for net curtains. Some of the newest mesh feature a shadow border of smaller mesh than the rest of the curtain, broken with a vine-like pattern of leaves and flowers. Again the motif is modern—conventionalized leaves or block patterns covering the entire curtain. The heavier net curtains such as Cordu net or Tuscan have striking bands of heavy design across the bottom of the curtain with the large open weave of the rest of the material suggesting the popular fish net.

“Right light will make your stay in the kitchen brighter—and shorter,” say scientists who recommend an enclosing glass globewith a 100-watt inside-frosted lamp for the center fixture, with additional lights provided at sink, range and cabinet. ,

XTO matter whether she is her own cook and bottle-washer or not, every woman who manages a home knows that someone must spend several hours of every day in the kitchen. When she knows that good lighting might cut those hours almost in half, she will never be satisfied until she has adeqnats lighting in her own kitchen. Light Speeds Work To prove to her the relation of light to work, science might tell her about the laboratory experiment in which the lighting was doubled and then doubled again, with the result that the rate of working increased 40% for slow workers, 28% for fast workers. So, if Minnie is very slow, good lighting may enable her to do in a couple of hours what she used to take a whole morning to do. Being eminently practical, science can tell you exactly what you must put into your lighting, to get $0 much out of it. First comes a center fixture placed close to the ceil-

Notwithstanding the fact that the Cincinnati ball club have a “Derringer” on their pitching staff, there doesn’t seem to be much velocity to the ball, this year. Of course, being in the cellar for so long, they may have become careless and failed to “keep their powder dry.”

Automobile authorities tell us that one person out of every seven can drive a motor car, and that he could drive fifty per cent more efficiently if the other six would stop driving from the back seat.

We don’t know where the younger generation are headed,' but it’s a cinch they are doing their best to get there.

Isn’t it strange that the pioneers who blazed the trail, now have sons and daughters who burn up the road ?

ing, equipped frosted or a 150-watt daylight lamp bulb in an enclosing globe of diffuse ing glass. .— Science bids you buy your lamp bulbs with care, for only thus can you be assured that they will be honest servants, giving you _ full value in light for current received. And < remember that bulb finish means something, toev The bluei daylight lamp bulbs provide a pure* clear quality of light, but they must be used consistently — everywhere in the kitchen or else not at all. They must also be used the next size larger than the clear or inside-frost lamps recommended for the same place, *«-— ndLi In itself, a lamp bulb cannot provide good light for any seeing task. So, as the lamp shades are important for lighting fixtures elsewhere in the house, the enclosing glass globe is important in the kitchen. Through this, the light is sifted and softened, so that our eyes can assimilate and use it for seeing. Keep Fixtures Clean Science advises us further that tlTe unit should be washed often, because if dust is allowed to accumulate on it as well as on the ceiling, you may lose as much as 40% of the light for which you are paying —in two ways. Your pocketbook is paying for current which goes into light that is absorbed by dirt, and so never reaches your eyes. Your poor cheated eyes are paying too, with energy stolen from funds intended for useful work. To speed the tasks of mixing, baking and washing up afterward, there should be additional light provided at sink, range and cabinet. At each of these places, the unit close to the ceiling, carrying a 100-watt lamp bulb (150-watt daylight) in an enclosed globe is considered most desirable, because it is overhead and out of the way. — If this additional ceiling light is not practical, a wall bracket placed above the sink, about five feet from the floor, will prove a likely substitute. The placing of this bracket—• five feet from the floor—is some-, what lower than usual, but it will be found a source of never-ending comfort. It is annoying to have to loqk .into a bright electric light all the time you are cooking or washing dishes. Hence the wall jacket should be placed below (or else way above) eye-level. It should carry a 60-watt inside frost (100-watt daylight) lamp bulb, with the light directed down onto the work in hand by an eggshell or bell-shaped shade, made of glass, and as easily cleaned as a china cup. "Such lighting is bound to make one’s stay in the kitchen brighter— and shorter,” say scientists. COTTON FOR CLOTH

In spite of chill breezes in the

shade, summer is almost upon us, and the wools.and flannels of winter will join the moths in the attic. Cotton is here again. You will need and want many little cotton sweaters and blouses for your linen skirts, and too with them, of course, you will need accessories to match. The. hot langurous.-days on The beach or 'Uie .ctab., ..iio.n^e porph are' perfect times to,-crochet, out of a fine mercerized crochet cotton, these little matching outfits. Start with the sweater, then you’ll decide you’ll need a hat. Then if you still have ambition, a purse is in order—either a tiny one or a great roomy one which will practically carry the contents of your dressing table. Gloves are next in line. You’ll find, on the days when you do feel like being athletic, that sweaters made of cool, washable cotton are comfortable and practical. And, of course you know that everything in the sport line that is smart and bears a Paris label is hand crocheted

and handknitted of cotton.

GIVE THE BRIDE CHROMIUM In those first strenuous weeks or housekeeping, the young bride thinks the friends who remembered that she wouldn’t have time or energy enough to polish silver, and gave her instead the smart polished chromium accessories which are so new and popular. Chromium does not need polishing; a dip in soapsuds and a swish with a towel keeps it gleaming. And it is a striking and lovely note in decoration, this chromium ware with its simple lines and gleaming surface. An entire table service, including service plates; table accessories as well as smoking things, garden doodads, vases, candlesticks, and innumerable other things, all bearing the spirit of. modern dsign. The young bride will thank you now and for many years to come for a wedding present of chromium.

CHARDONIZE UNDERWEAR

Every chardonize garment you buy will bear a Good Housekeeping Seal attesting this fact, and you will know, when you buy it, that it will last you longer and keep its original dull lustre appearance, shape and fit as no other active-service un-

dergarment you can find.

Capital Comment

In his Gettysburg address, the President placed emphasis on the fact that we are a united people, and that the conditions which gave rise to Appomattox and Gettysburg have passed away to a large extent. Admitting the strength of local and state prejudices, he pointed out, in a single sentence, the reason why sectionalism is becoming a thing of the past and incapable of working the trouble which, in the early days of the republic, was a cause of continuing discontent and growing irritation. “Today,” said President Roosevelt, “we have many means of knowing each other.” It is in a perfect knowledge of the otfier manning .aiip.s and his needs, that perpetual peace resides, not only for the United States, but for the whole world as well. The radio, the flying machine and dozens of other inventions have brought the world together. Mr. Roosevelt’s remarks were a tribute to the spirit of scientific discovery, which, more than anything else, has promoted that common understanding without which there can be no lasting peace, national or international.

Memorial Day, formerly called Decoration Day, has passed once more into history. Many now living will see the last soldier of the Civil War, whether of the North or the South, go to his reward. The same observation holds true with respect to the men who fought in the Span-ish-American War. The child probably has been born who will look upon the grave of the last surviving American soldier of the World War. The thing to be regretted -is that in the meantime, other wars will arise and furnish an ample supply of new buria’l places to mark with spring tokens of remembrances.

In addition to their work under the dome of the capital, senators and representatives have other duties, not recognized officially, but none the less pressing and real, among which is the job commonly known as mending their fences With nomination and election campaigns clearly in view, Congress is

PLENTY OF ACCORD. In a southern town, leaders of two Negro .political clubs, one Republican and; one Democratic, were deacons In the same church. One Sunday, just before election day, with feeling running high, the Republican deacon led the congregation in prayer. “An’, oh Lawd,” he prayed in closing, “hress de Republicans in dis heah town an’ see dat dey hang togethah.” “Amen” loud and clear and in tones of triumph came from the Democratic leader. “Wait a minute, Lawd,” continued the Republican deacon. “Ah don’t mean fo’ de Republicans to hang lak he means. Ah means fo’ ’em to hang togethah in concern an’ accord.” “Any cord, Lawd—any cord, jes’ so long as dey hang,” cut in the other deacon.

NEW NOTE IN LINEN Crisp linen suits, with the coat of one color and the skirt of another, are going to he the fashion on the golf courses this summer, if New York has anything to say about style trends. Among the stars who have alr°adv adapted the mode is chic little Jeanie Lang, now heard on the Marvelous Melodies radio program, who knows her smart economies and picks the new suits as perfect, either for golfing, motoring or sailing. A striped scarf, tied closely about the neck usually substitutes for a blouse and completes the costume.
