(The Youth’s Companion.) The habit of criticism is one that many people—and not only those who are critized —deprecate. There is a fairly general impression that the person who criticizes is not capable of doing much else, and that, as he is too lazy or inefficient to undertake active, constructive work, he resorts to criticism of others in order jto keep alive a spark of self-respect. Such an intolerant view of the critic may occasionally be warranted, but it is more often unreasonable. Thmost searching criticism has nearly always been supplied by men who were themselves producers or men of action. Matthew Arnold's insight as a critic was probably derived in some measure from his own adventures into poetry; Roosevelt was as severe . and sharp in criticism as he was versatile and vigorous in action. It is true, however, that a good ideal of criticism proceeds from what !may be called the impatience of the I amateur. Criticism of that sort should be uttered with discretion, and usually little will be lost if it is ! not uttered at all. A consciousness jof the imperfections and shortcomings of others is likely to be more | profitable to a person if it remains J unexpressed. When criticism is not of a personal character the amateurishness of it is usually pronounced. } and if it does little harm it is cei* [tain that it does little good. It acts I unfavorably upon the person who is addicted to it; he has supposed that this opinions were held in some esteem as well-considered and intelli- ' gent, and at last he discovers with dismay that he has built up a repu{tation for himself as a faultfinder. HOTTEST JUNE OX RECORD, j A stifling heat wave has had a large part of the country tightly within its grip for four consecutive weeks । almost without cessation. During ■that time the thermometer at interjvals has registered from 95 to 100

lin the shade and as high as 115 iu ' iLie sun. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the iwave reached the peak but on Tuesjday afteroon near-by rains brought । some relief and lowered somewhat (the soaring mercury. The heat [being so continuous became wearing [on sweltering humanity and almost iunendurable, and the relief, though 'slight, may have come in time to [prevent a wave of sickness. It has I been the hottest June of which I there is any record. f It would be better, if possible, to deter an assassin than to punish him 'after the crime. Reckless auto dri.vers are potential assassins. A fine Jis a small deterrent. There would be ■ fewer deaths in auto crashes if there were more jail sentences for offenders. Also, there would be fewer traffic accidents if jay-walkers were [given a few days in a cell to stucy how to cross the street. —South Bend News-Times The sentiment as expressed by Secretary of State Hughes that America’s helpful influence should not be 'frittered away on political questions abroad which do not concern us. but our first duty is to attend to our own (affairs, while maintaining friendly relations with all nations, is sound doctrine and in line with American aim and purpose. • • With a twelve per cent cut in the wages of railway employes, which went into effect July 1, we may na[turally hope for a lowering of passenger and freight rates, which would be in line with the general trend of things. Lower rates would stimulate Ibusiness and aid in reducing living costs. ! , For every woman who makes a fool out of a man there is another ■ woman who makes a man out of a fool.—Lincoln Star. ~ MARSHAL WOUNDS COLONEL L. K. Robbins of St. Louis Fails to Hear Police Call to Halt and Is Shot. — St. Louis, Mo., July 6.—C01. Leroy K. Robbins of St. Louis, former colonel in the Missouri national guard ami in the world war, in command of the 62nd infantry at Spartansburg, S. C., was shot in the saw at Doe Run Junction, Mo., sixty miles south of here, according to a message to St. Louis police. Col. Robbins, the mes sage said, was shot when he failed to heed the command of the city marshal to halt. How serious his injuries are has not been definitely established. Col. Robbins, with his son. was on the way to a train when called upon by the marshal, who was Investigating a holdup, to stop. Apparently not hearing, Col. Robbins continued, and one of several shots hit him. *•

BEAUTIFYING THE HOME By A. A. DinsmeYe, Troy, Ohio. V Peculiar feelin 1 sometimes ov r- [ takes us ond we b(|ome restless and [dissatisfied with rrar surroundings, [when the spirit of 1 change and ini-j iptovement takes hold of us and com- ' [mauds us to make the home more attractive and ‘ Homey.’ Many people mistake this spirit for Vanity, which is ordinarily far from ' [true. It only proves that “the things; । that once satisfied and pleased uIsometimes tire us with their «ai:e [ । When our Home of the years past ■ (that blessed us with shelter and cum- [ [fort, when the days and nights ol [ [physical pains and financil worries] were plentiful, would seem common- [ place, ii is our task to improve or I [change it, rather than sell or fc.r.-a. • lit. If the lawn fence is old, weather-I worn and unpainted, we have ■’ 1 choice of painting the old on- . r< moving it and building a new one < . different material, height er ib v or, removing the o^ or.e enlin iy an doing without a fence. If some of the sides of the law n ' । border upon fields Or lots win re iin , stock is kept or pastured, a horse- i high and hog-tight fence should be [ maintained in good condition. Immediately on (Tie inside of thiL high fence may be planted a hard’ hedge that will present its wail <■ j green to every part of the law: . Le* [ the open sides of the lawn with it well known grass extend to the roaus i way, street, alley, and to and bey i : . the auto drive to where the side of the lawn comes to an end by meet in - ' fence wall or property line. Should the inside hedge not be to i your liking, it may be dispensed with, and instead, several clumps o: ' [well selected hardy shrubbery plant 1 ied so there is not more than ten fit I [ot open space between them, through j [which pleasing glimpses may be had | ot the lawns, fields and gardens I beyond. i W ith the exception of but very fw [ [select specimen trees for shade, orjnamentation and evergreen ett*<ts । the main part of the lawn should not ! contain anything but grass of th[greenest kind, and always kept fr< • I [of weeds and unsightly tools an 1 icoops, as well as to lx? frequently a: <i [evenly mown with a good .< . p [ mower. [ This leaves you with but two re'gions of your lawn to be planted, ami [ [which will give it all the touches of' improvement that the most eminent; iof Landscape Gardeners might design i [for you. 1 refer to the proper planting about the foundation walls of tht ■ house and it’s poi^ the out- I [side borders of the lawn itself. In making your plans for this pro- [ posed improvement to your lawn, al j [ways keep in mind the three main I princples of Landscape Architecture: [ (li Avoid straight lin^s and mathe- ; matical precision or arrangement In | : the shaping of beds and setting of [ : plants. (2) riant iu masses, clu : p- ■ : or groups of kind and color, ar 1 ■ lastly, (3) have the central part of 1 ou: taw n a great open space of bet. [ [ till;' » where the meml ers of ; fan ;ly indulge in their daily . [ ta<k. and plays. ; I’ iv- tv conception that your lawn [ at.d ''LiAthing upon it constitutes; [ 1 be; lul picture, well framed. I The house itself is the portrait and ■ it’s foundation planting with its curves and colors but close-up orna-j ments to the central picture. Let . the unplanted lawn be the back- ! ground or matting between the por-j ;trait and frame.; lastly the hedges,} fences and graceful curves of shrub-i bery planting about the border repre- [ i sent the frame of the completed picture. This improvement lends the ati mosphere of completeness to y our [ iproperety and adds wonderfully to J it’s selling value and the daily pie*- ; (sure of living in a home, in which} (each member of the household would {entertain a pride, and every passerby j find reason to admire and give credit I ; able mention to the owner. From these planting armfuls of {fragrant Lilacs. Mock Oranges ;nd [ ; Roses will fill the vases in the dining [and living-rooms, and always a plenty ‘for visiting friends and to send with !a blessing to the sick and discouraged, who are not so fortunate as your1 self.
