IIARDISG'S VICTORY. The abolition of the 12-hour day In the teel industry, through the pressure of the : resident, may be counted a a rr-a-er victory than the International agreement on limitation of armanenU cr the restriction of the ve of ibmarines.

Their experience last pprlnsr, when unorganized revolt threatened, thould havo led them to the action which to suggested by the president as one of the essential movement for the safety, the sanity, the internal welfare of the nation.

The public is shocked by the fact that generally one of these partie to the divorce miffht look out of the windows to a waiting limousine within which sits another prospective wife or husband, ready for a drive across a Mate or national line to the nearest clergyman or magistrate. Most of the divorce laws, a matter of ptate control, have within them a limit of one year within which the party to a divorce may not remarry. 1 The guilele:- theory of this law i that divorces may sometimes be obtained In hate and that this period of waiting may restore the parties to a different view of their differences and the old ties be again renewed. I The truth Ls that this law has been generally dlflregarded and that large number of people, generally from the more trosperous walk of life, have eimply betaken themselves across, the arbitrary ftate lines to enter Into new marriage relations. The newspapers, from time to time, have been filled with accounts of special train, bearing wedding parties, which have steamed away from tho divorce court of one Mate to the altar in another. The sanction of social leaders to such marriages, the rase with which the parties keep their eocial standing, the public assent to the validity of euch ties. t now questioned when those who have followed the sane custom happen to be members of a profession which haa lately given the public many other scandil5. There might l-e made alfo the surjestion that the approval of law to such marriaces would be better, at any rate, than the irregular alliances that have been formed in the movie world and out of It and that the.-e persons, now under fire, have left some vestige of respect for the decent opinion and regard of other?. The whole troubles goes back to the fact that mnrriage and matrimony should not be a matter of jftate control but of national legislation, if it be put upon a legal rather than a sacred ground. It is also true thafdivoroe laws should lie national in scope so that what may be grounds in Indiana would not be a bar in New York and that what may be grounds in New York no grounds in Oali2'ornia. - A national divorce law, as long as divorces .are a part of the present social system, would obviate any of these shocks to public conf:dence and public conscience. Such a law would have very definite provisions :.s to remarriage and thoe who transgressed would automatically expatiate thernseive. They would bo barred from good society in America and probably face punishment for their disregard. Those who have taken no interest in such a law uossibly may count themselves as witnes to the Mexican marriages. o 0fherditorsTlianOu?3

HINTING. (Columbus Citizen.) Newfoundland seal hunters for generations have wasted most of their time in the actual location of eeal herds. It was like .spending an hour looking for a berry bush that could be "picked clean" in 10 minute. This appealed to the Imagination of Alan S. F.utler. young English flyer, out gunning for opportunity instead of waiting for her. He contracted to locate the seal herds at H cents a head, by airplanes. Now his Aerial Surveying company Ls doing a land-office business and Hutler ir on the road to richer at 23. ItV humbug, that opportunity knocks once at every man'rf door.

rih automoblUsts are developing: nil kinds of clues supertilor.s. He notes the !ncreainsr use of miiflcoti reluctance to drive on Friday and a prejudice afralr.st green cars. Certain mechanic ftso have 0t the reputation of having the evil eye and motorists shrink from having their cars overhauled by these persons. Not all these superstitions, perhaps, can be duplicated In America, but such automobile gossip as we hear indicates that there are many believers in the evil eye among garage mechanics; and even among motorcycle policemen, and that it Is considered very unlucky to have one's car overhauled by such people. We note all sorts of other queeer superstitions. For Instance, we have one friend who will never leave his car in front of a fire plug. As for mascots, it Is well known that many hard-headed business men consider it unlucky to drive alone and will even arrive home late for dinner rather than drive without a mascot.

My what a wnndetrful head you'v got. Fusy. We Just insist on paying you for such a gorgeous suggestion ai this.

Soon or later, we are sure the reformers will awaken to the ter-ril-le menace radio Is going to be to the human race. We have been expecting a law proposed to close radio at 11 o'clock, and all day Sunday. There also ought to be some sort of a statute to prevent a child frcm playing around with radio, unless accompanied by one or both parents, and how about traffic laws for radio? Wo believe this last feature ought to be locked into and covered by legislation without delay!

We know several fellows that are so superstitious that they wouldn't think of drivinsr an automobil unless they are about three sheets In the wind, either, but these fellows ;.ro getting fewer even' day. We don't know whether they are being eliminated by sudden deaths, or whether they are afraid they will have seven years of bad luck by meeting Iiirry Lane, becau?- he parts his hair on the side, but the fact remains that they are gradually eliminated. How foolish It Is to harbor such groundless superstition.

Sooner or later sickness comes to

every household. You may be on of the fortunate ones. You and yours may have escaped the physical tax-collector. Put he is on the way. and while it is unwise to dwell on thoughts which are painful, nevertheless, it is wise to take stock row and then. How can you manage your home when illness comes? In every house there is at least one pleasant room. Too many times it is carefully protected from common use. The shades are drawn and the funiture is covered to protect it from desecrating dust. Such a "parlor" as this Is enough to drive the children into the street. No room in the house should be too good to use. It may seem to you almost sacrilege to think of turning the parlor into a sick-room. Put it may be jut the place for the poor shut-In, the chronic invalid or the convalescent patient. It is bad enough for any one of

! us to lie shut In for a sincrl one of

the lovely days of springtime. How much worse Is It for the unfortunates who are obliged to spend a whole season In bed! You can lighten the burdens of the Invalid by placing his bed or chair near the window. Here he has glimpses of the outside world. He can watch the swelling buds and the growth of the leaves. He can see the green grass and the flowers. Without something of human interest life Is dull and sad. We need to see our neighbors and the other members of the community. We

should have things to think about instead of our own infirmities. Th sick room should bn made as attractive as possible. A few inexpensive things will add to Its charm. Dainty curtains, prett' pictures, a plant, a basket of fruit thes things will hold the eye and tempt the palate. The open window and the sunshine give the invalid the fresh air to essential to his recovery. If it were purely a matter of economy, the hut-in would be giver, theee surroundings. His recovery will be hastened by such attention. Keep the patient in a dark and gloomy room, with no punshine and nothing to do but to count th figures on the wallpaper, and his disease will drag along indefinitely. Keep a patient In such a place and

i he loses heart. When he falls Into I that frame of mind which 'believes I recovery is Impossible and that noj body cares, you have an obstinate j anrl difficult case to cure. To be shut in for three months is to develop habits of mind and body

which are hard to overcome. Cheerfulness. human interest, sunshine and fresh air contribute wonderfully to recovery. Tt is remarkable how bed-ridden or house-ridden one can become. If withdrawal from the world is complete, it is difficult to drag one's self back to the routine of the old life. Speedy recovery follows if the human touch is permitted to do its part. Add these fine helps to the services of your family doctor.

"Where are you g-oing, Uncle Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane one eveningafter pupper, as she saw the bunny gentleman hop slowly down toward the front gate of the hollow rtump bungalow. "Are you going to tho moving pictures?" "Not this even In sr.' answered the rabbit gentleman. "At least not right away. If you would like to go I'll come back in time to take you to the second show." "That would b-j delightful." spoke the muskrat lady housekeeper, "but where are you going now?" "Out into the woods a little way, to lock for some hungry birds." answered the bunny gentleman. "I have still left some of the garden, seeds, for the horned lark, to whom I gave some yesterday, did not eat them all. So I thought I would now take them to the woods." "Put evening is coming on," said Nurse Jane. "Scon it will be dark, and there are few birds out after the sun goes down. Besides, it will be too dark for them to see to Pick up the seeds you scatter." "That may be so," agreed Unci Wiggily. "Mut it will not be entirely dark for half an hour or so, and I may meet a hungry bird." so saying, the kind bunny gentleman hopped to the woods. Uncle Wipgily was hopping here and there, looking amid the trees and bushes for some bird he might feed with the left-over garden seed when, all of a sudden", there was a rustling in the underbrushes, and a large brown bird, with a few light feathers on the di of its tail, moved out into a little clearing. Uncle Wiggily. n the twilight, taw thit the bird had a short but strong beak, and a large mojth, around which grew bristling hairs. "What bird ar you?" aakei the bunny politely. "I am the Poor Pird, or, to give mo my full name, the Whip Poor Will Bird." was the answer. "Of course I didn't -vhip poor Will, or any other boy." laughed the bird, "but my song sounds like thos? words, and so I am called." "Oh. yes. I have heard your call." said Uncle Wiggily. "Will you have a few seejs?" he asked, politely. "Thank you. no." answered the bird. "At times I may nibble a se-d or two. but mostly I ea-t bad bugs and biting mosquitoes. That is why I have such a large mouth, with bristles in which the bad bugs become tangled so I can easily catch them. Keep your seed for birds

that need them more than I. I am going to ttart out now for my mosquito supper." "Why, Nurse Jane said it was time for birds to go to bed," spoke th. bunny gentleman, in some surpri-e. "Not me!" laughed the Whip ro-.r Will bird. "I am like the owl. yit etnrtinsr rut for my night flyinpr. I fly by nUht. and sleep by day. Thank you. just tire same .for offering me seeds, but I must have buj. I heip. I may tee you again, Uncle W: gorily. You tried to do me a favor and I wish I could do one for you." "Oh. don't speak of such a thing!" begged the modest rabbit frent'n man. Then Uncle Wiergily scattered th seMs on the ground so some birdmight find them in the morning, and hopped baek to his hollow- stump bungalow, ..anwhlle the Whip poor Will bird winged its way through the dark forest, catching In its bir. bridling mouth many bad bltincr hugand mosquitoes. All of a sudden, just as Uncle Wiggily was almost h"me, there was another rustling in th bushes. This time, instead of a kind Mrd coming out, there sprang forth the. Fkilbry Seallery Alligator with the hump- on his tail. "Ah. ha!" gursrled the- 'f'.ator. "Now for some good ear nibbling!" "Oh. please don't nibble my ears'" begged the bunny. "Poohl Nonsense! Of course I'll nihle your ears!" cried the Ski'.le-ry Fcallery chap. He was just cnir.g to ca?en the bunny gentleman when, all at niv". there sounded through th woods the mournful cry of: "Whip poor Will! Whip Poor WillHal Ha! laughed the unpleasant 'Gator. "Fo poor Will Is sroine to have a whipping; is he? Server him right, whoever he is"' Uncle WJggily said nothing, but as the '(later came nearer, again thp sad cry- sounded: "Whip poor Willi Whip ponr Will!" "Ha! I know- what I am coinr to do!" snickered the 'flat or. "I am goin? off and help whip poor Will. I love to give whlppinsrs with my big tail! I'll help whoever N goir.g to whip pe.er Will! I'll nibble y.ur a.when I get backl" "Yes you may if I'm here, bu I won't be here!" sn'A Uncle Wicrsrily. And away he ran a soon as the fr;ator crawl'-il rf? to follow the cry of "Whip poor Will." "Did I fool him! Did I fool the bad old 'Gator for you?" whispered 'hn Whip Poor Will b!rd. as v f-nr.1 from behind a tree, for h? it was who had uttered the cries.
