A Lesson For Hiisbantls. A play translated from the French and recently put on the boards In New York has the usual fling at the ambitious wife and has made a hit The lesson for wives is well brought out, judging from the many editorial comments upon the play. But the moral for husbands should not be lost sight of while condemning the folly of the wife. The name of the play, ‘‘The Thief,” does not fairly indicate the motive of the dramatist. Thievery is incidental to the \v ife ’ s passion for the admiration of her husband. She sees that he has eyes for women who are well dressed and have style, but none for herself. He does not give her the means to dress according to his taste; hence she steals in order to win the attention which she believes her right. Dresses and good looks are trivial things, and sensible women do not mourn If they do not possess them unless the lack of them stands In the way of their keeping the affections of their husbands. Seldom do women In this country go so far as did the French wife whose pitiful struggle Is depicted in “The Thief.” But no doubt there are some American wives whose feelings are bitter and whose temptation Is great. They strive in devious and doubtful ways to bedeck themselves and after all may conclude that the game Is not worth the candle. Love so gained Is generally a poor return for the sacrifice. Women take their husbands as they find them— tall or short, fat or thin, well mannered or uncouth. Husbands who Insist that their spouses shall be as attractive as other women should pay the price, at the same time remembering that the wife is no better for her plumage and that it is only their own eyes which are at fault.

City and Country For Scholars. The conclusion reached by Mr. Walter H. Page In World’s Work that It Is better to locate colleges In the city than In the country is sharply challenged by American Medicine In a recent editorial. Mr. Page made a series of Investigations last year and advised the establishment of colleges In cities, where, he says, temptations are no greater than in villages. Says American Medicine: City life is very deadly to the young, a fact known to anthropologists for a long time, and we are now in a fair way to explain the phenomenon. For hundreds of years country families have flocked to the towns, to die out In a few generations, so that cities are said to be consumers of rural populations. A man raised In the country seems to stand the unknown strain, but his children sometimes perish long before he does. Every physician knows of these disappearing families where the country bred parents survive all their city bred children. The trolley system which permits suburban homes Is doing more for the survival of these types than the lay public realizes. Mr. Page’s advice, then, to continue the damage by establishing the colleges In the cities, Is deadly and should be rebuked by the medical profession at once. These conclusions are entitled to a hearing. It is claimed that the cities offer college boys a broader view of life. But during school days this advantage may be a hindrance rather than a help to sound education. Boys should not lose their youthful Illusions too early. They’ll become cynical fast enough when they strike the real problems of life. Boys Inured to city life have a certain kind of precocity, but 11 is a fact, as American Medicine points out, that a ‘‘tremendous percentage ol noted men have been educated out of the cities.”

There are nine chances out of ten that Miss Mary Cunningham is as good an American as those who object to her face being placed on our gold coins. In the United States the spelling of a name does not indicate the nationality of the person bearing It. There are descendants of Dutch, Ger man, French and Irish in this country whose ancestors made It their home long before the Revolution. If tMfcy are not Americans, then there are no

A symposium of dramatists and tnanagers recently decided that the high level of Ignorance among American stage artists makes Ideal presentation of plays impossible. That’s because the brains of the.artists of both sexes are bent solely upon physical good looks. Richmond P. Hobson claims to have inside information to the effect that Japan will declare war on the United States on Feb. 2& With very little urging it is believed that she can be Induced to put it off till April 1. The New York waiters are to have a l clubhouse of their own In the fashionable club district In spite of this New Yorkers will continue to excuse fifty cent tips by saying that the waiters need the money.

A college which beat a university 4 to 0 at football naturally looks down upon such a trifling thing as a $3,000,000 gift with an antisports string tied to it

Some people will not be content unless the pt-esldent goes to the trouble to refuse a renomination in every speech. Cuban waiters demand American money too. Small marvel It’s scarce.

The mere fact of having a long list of names on the roster signifies little. What is greatly to be desired is a loyal and active membership be it great or small. Of course, other things equal the larger the mem jership the better. Yet it cannot be disputed that who are enrolled as members of our order not only do the cause no good, but in fact do very much harm. He who by word or deed, advice or influence, seeks to Injure the order, is a disgrace to the organization and violate* his most sacred and solemn obligation.

A lodge room is an excellent place to study human nature. Watch positions taken by members and see in what a small circle some revolve while others take broad, liberal grounds in dealing with men and matters. It is one the surest evidences of strength to be able to overlook the sbort-comicgi of men and throw the veil of charity over error. No man should apply for membership in a secret society unless he is willing to abide and live up to its laws and regulations. If they don’t suit him, he should not join, but if he does join he should then live up to its requirements, and not try and tear down in order to rebuild it to suit his ideas. He should bear in mind that the order is greater than the individual.

Bethel Church Starts Unique Plan to Pay Pipe Organ DebtThe choir of a New Jersey Congrega tional church has adopted a novel plan to pay off the debt on the organ They are asking members of the con gregatiou to .help them encircle the church property with two rows of pen □ ies. The distance is 1,500 feet and when the scheme is fulfilled the nec essary $250 will have been raised. This plan is something like the one announced by Rev. G. H. Shaffer pas tor of Bethel A. M. E. church last Sun day morning to raise funds for pay ing the balance due on Bethel’s beau tiful Pipe Organ. Rev. Shaffer has started out to raise one mile of pennies or 1,760 yards. Small card folders containing 288 squares, each square representing one penny have been dis tfibuted among the member* and the friends of the church for soliciting. The plan is very unique and great intereat is already manifested in the outcome. To make the mile will require 84,480 pennies whicb will equal $844.80. Dr. J H. Ward is chairman of the Business Men’s Committee which will assist In this work,
