Putting Our House in Order

While some European financier? are devoting their energies advising us about financial af

fairs, to the neglect of their own countries, we

are fortunate in having made appreciable prog

ress in getting our house in order.

Their advice falls on barren soil when one

compares our situation with that created by an

inflated currency in most -European countries. While they have been unable to curtail their

governmental expenses, our leaders have been lopping off appropriations and reducing expendi

tures with gratifying results, including also the noteworthy achievement of reducing the national debt, something that foreign countries have been

unable to do.

The imposition of additional taxes will be fought by, the administration, its leaders declare,

and no changes will be made in the existing reve nue law for the present.

The American people are supporting every effort which has for its purpose reduction in the

cost of operating the government.. A healthy tendency is noted everywhere to restore nomal

conditions and to prevent inflation. With the American people working and striving with this end in view, the advice of foreign financiers seems gratuitous, and the thought suggests itself that European leaders have a good-sized Job on their hands in looking after their own affairs.

Special Judge Rupe's Opinion on Divorce It was a bit of good common sense, which Judge Rupe uttered in circuit court the other day when he refused to grant a divorce decree, asked for on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. ' In substance, his theory is that the petty and trivial perplexities of married life are no justifi

able cause for divorce. The evidence in the case, j which he had tried, showed that the defendant had not been cruel and inhuman in the sense meant by the statute which permitsa legal separation on that ground. Instead of doing what some jurists would have done in. a similar case, namely, to grant the decree, the judge admonished husband and wife to forget their differences, make up, and begin anew their married life with their two young children. Many judges prate about the divorce evil in long utterances. If more of them would follow Judge Rupe's example they could quickly diminish the number of divorces. Cruel and inhuman treatment as expounded by many jurists consists in any imaginary trouble which a plaintiff may present. Let cruel and inhuman treatment actually be proved in the true sense of the treminology before a decree is granted, and the judges will soon not be forced to complain about the number of. divorce complaints that are filed in circuit court. The best way to check the divorce nuisance is a determined judge who will inflexibly make the plaintiff prove his or her contention and will not grant a decree unless he knows that the allegations have been demonstrated." Judges have the power in their hands. Judge Rupe was not led astray by a few domestic differences which may arise in any family, but was guided by the law. He did this county a good service by publicly telling both parties that their highest duty was to forget their own petty differences, and with the welfare of their children at heart, return to their home to kindle anew the fire of love on the altar of their home. That's what should be told hundreds of plaintiff s for divorce in this state. Instead of magnifying their troubles, let them minimize them, and be forbearing and charitable toward each other. And a little plain talk to persons applying for licenses to wed also would bejn place, if that were possible. Entirely too many couples rush to the clerk's counter for license with the notion in their head that if they tire of each other they can find a way out through the divorce court. The estate of marriage has lost its sacred esteem. Hence, the hasty marriages, and hence also the quick decision to sue for divorce.

After Dinner Tricks

By FHEDETIICK J HASKW WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 1. If you have read some particularly uninspired fiction lately you will be glad to know that methods of measuring imagination are being evolved. How to induce all the writers and would-be writers to test themselves is of course, another problem, as yet unsolved. In recent years there has appeared a vast literature designed to show that anybody who is so inclined can turn out fiction. The result of this teaching has been that magazine offices are flooded with neat stories carefully put together by rule and carefully conforming to the psychology of reader and edition as the textbook advised. Thus scarcely a fiction writer in the "country remains ignorant of the established fact that editors abhor blue ribbon bows on manuscript It is widely understood that a rolled manuscript would be coldly returned unread. Also, few if any fiction manufacturers are aware that a happy ending is as necessary to a story as a snappy beginning. Editors, a writer is told, acquire the habit of reading the first page and the last of a story.

j If tbey are aoused from their apathy

the interior or tne manuscript may be explored. Such beliefs have become tradition among the vast circle of fictioneers. The creative faculty, being more elusive, has been passed over vaguely by biost textbook writers. It is assumed that a certain amount of imagination goes with the desire to create

characters and plots. Nevertheless

most of the fiction writers who never land simply lack a flexible imagination. They are encouraged by friends

and by their own judgments to weave

stories when they have no inventive talents or when their imaginations run along stereotyped lines. It must be admitted that occasionaly fiction wi iters attain success in spite

or this delect, a charming style, a

knack of writing from the humoritst'a viewpoint, may raise the most hack

neyed plot out of the ordinary. Generally, however, the gift of style or

humor goes with an orignal andimagl native mind. The problem of classifying Imagination from a literary standpoint at tracted Dr. Edwin Slosson and Dr,

June Downey. Dr. Slosson is an edi

tor, author, and teacher of journalism. Dr. Downey is writer and 'professor

of psychology at the University of Wyoming. Using as subjects college

students, maimy interested m crea

tive writing, a variety of tests were made. Tests From the m Agony Column. for test material Dr. Slosson went

first of all to the personal column Of

the London times. The personal column in this particular paper is notable for its unusual messages, and is popularly known as the "agony column."

Herbs Used in Medicines

dressed, and the general reader must; guess at the meaning. Such a message as "Golliwog. The - gold is gone. Waiting." might refer to an attempted burglary, or a business deal, or it might be a lover's sentimental way of saying that a trouble-making blonde had passed out of his life. Dr. Downey tried a series of these items on students asking them to construct a story from a given personal and classified the results according to grades of imagination. We quote her divisions of imagination here because it may be of interest to the reader to classify his own creative faculty. The divisions are: (1) the alert imagination; (2) the stereotyped imafination; (3) the melodramatic imagination; (4) the generalizing imagination; (5) the particularizing imagi nation; (6) the ingenious or inventive imagination. The last class contains persons who construct an unusual and interesting situation from a hint such as the personals give. They avoid the obvious conclusion which the stereotyped imagination seizes upon. Their imagination is stimulated easily. They dc not reject the plot germin a personal as trivial or meaningless, as the inert imagination does. The generating type of imagination Is not specific enough for fiction and the results on paper are apt to be abstractions. This sort of imagination usually accompanies the scientific turn of mind. The particularizing imagination, on the other hand, is of real assistance to fiction writing. The person who notes the little things that distinguish people and situations has fiction material if he can use it skillfully. When the fifth and sixth types are combined the possessor has a promising equipment for creating stories. The individual who regards himself as lacking in imagination may be encouraged by the fact this faculty can to some extent be developed. In i recent book on the subject, Drs. Slosson and Downey explain their experiments in training as well as testing the creative imagination. They point out that certain famous artists deliberately stimulated their creative impulse by devices: "Many of the minor eccentricities of genius appear to be the outcome of accidental discoveries of ways of increasing brain activity. Rousseau and Shelley were given to exposing the bared head to the hottest of midday suns; and Whitman wrote much of his 'Leaves of Grass, while prone upon the white sands 'of a Long Island beach, with such a sun as only seema to blaze there." Music and Colors Stimulate Imagination. Dr. Downey further points out .that Darwin found scientific reflections stimulated by music, and that Wagner's sense of the dramatic was height-

Don't Spoil a Good Meal With a Bad Stomach It Is really a pitiful sight to see so many thousands of people worrrlng about what they can eat and what they can't eat.

No. 285 Finding Chosen Card A pack of cards is placed beneath a napkin, so that no one can see it. Some one is allowed to put his hand beneath the napkin, and remove a card without the performer seeing it. He is then told to replace the card and square up the pack underneath the napkin. Although the performer has not seen the pack, he removes it from the napkin, and turning his back, immediately finds the chosen card. The secret is quite subtle. As soon as the card, has been taken from the pack the performer reaches beneath the napkin to "square up the pack," and in so doing turns the pack over. Thus when the spectator's card is replaced it will be reiersed, or faced about in the pack. When he takes the pack from the napkin aid turns bts back the performer can itstantly find the chosen card.

SLEEPS OF AUTUMN ARE BEAUTIFUL By George Matthew Adama

There is something beautiful about the sleeping times of everything In. life and nature. ' But in October we find the setting for them all. To me there has always been a touch of divine pathos connected with the falling of every leaf. One by one then in dozens, and hundreds, and thousands, they fall silently to the ground. There they nestle, their gorgeous coats giving way to a series of browns, until finally, tossed about by winds and washed by rains, they sink into the sleep of the earth to rise again in newness with successive springs. The wind is blowing as I write. Beyond my window are winding hills. They are robed in all the colors of the sunset blues, and browns and purples, and series of golden tints. Like the mild roll of a happy sea is this vast line of color as the wind bathes it. I can see the leaves fly like birds from their spring and summer nests in the trees and fall gently to the ground. What a scene of beauty! Soon the twigs and branches will be bareready for the blasts of winter. And then we will miss what we so much loved for many months. Clear cut you will see exposed the new homes of the squirrels. And later, in all the North countries, the white blankets of winter will come to bury the plays of autumn. All of which serves the more to emphasize the eternal change of life. The sleeps of autumn are beautiful in the extreme. They whisper new words of cheer to our hearts .they renew our faith in the divinity of all things beautiful, and they teach us courage. Yes, I believe that trees and flowers and leaves have souls for Heaven would be bare indeed without them!

ened by the presence of rich fabrics and colors. Undoubtedly, different brains respond to the stimulation of different senses. Dr. Downey tried experiments with combinations of odors on students. Music was similarly employ ea to see whether themes would suggest striking personalities or dramatic situations to the students. Setting small groups of writers to composing a story together was still another experiment. Some well known writers have produced their best work by the social stimulation gained through collaboration. The experiments were not conducted by the college professors so much for the purpose of making scientific tables as to show the students the character of their imagination and its possibili

ties. Devices such as those mentioned,.

the two professors call gymnastic exercises for the imagination. When the subject is explored further we may find that such exercises can be reduced to a scientific daily dozen for the busy and ambitious fiction writer. He has already the classical precedent of the "Alice in Wonderland" queen who found it helpful to. imagine three imposible things before breakfast.

Less Meat if Kidneys Bother Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts cr Bladder troubles you.

No man or woman who eats too much meat can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Big meat eaters may develop uric acid, which excites the kidneys; they become overworked from the strain get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood; then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepiness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, jull of sediment, irregular of passage, or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys may, act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it ne longer causes irritation, thus often ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink, which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often aroiding srions kidney complications.
