MUSIC TO SOOTHE THE TIRED JUVENILE

_ WASHINGTON, July 9.-The right kind of noise may, keep a. child out of mischief, but the wrong kind is apt to undermine his health and tire his mind.

Musics power to soothe the Juvenile was vouched for today be- fore the National Ilducatlcn As- sociation by L. A. Woods, superin- tendent od’ public instruction in Taxes.

“Music turns the individual from mischief and strife to a purposeful. co-cperative way to living." he sald.

The other side of the noise picture was sketched by Ruth M. Van Devsnter, of Springfield,

She said it was time‘ to" toss over- board the idea that n noisy environment teaches children to, concentrate. Pupils can “get used" to needless noise. the speaker ex- pinned. but continue to waste energy combetting it.

Dorothy Dix ’s Letter Box

Only Regret_F0ll0ws Casting Aside of Faith- ful Old Wife for Young One, Cries M-an Who Tried 1t--Woman Who Wants Perfect Husband Had Better Add Up Own Virtues first

D93!‘ Miss Dix-I am one of the hundreds of 01d men who have given up their old wives for young ones. How u, man o: can, mum cm do such a foolish thing is beyond comprehension, but I and thousand; of others have done it to our sorrow. I mar- ried my first wife when we were both young and she stood the test cf going through all the lough places with me She helped me get on my feet and make my fortune. For forty years she toiled at my side and then-when 1 got on Easty Street, success went to my head. I thvllkht she was not good enough for me and I married a girl young enough to be my daukhter and I am punished for what I did. as I deserve. Do I think it all over. and do I repent? Plenty. W. H.

Answer:

If it is true that misery loves company. 1 1 " as the old proverb says, you have the comfort, W. H. of knowing that there are plenty of other unhappy old men 1n the same boat with you. For swapping old wives for new is an unholy busi- ness. There is a curse upon it that blishts the life of the one who en- gages in it.

l

I get hundreds upon hundreds of letters from men who tel! me ex- actly zlle samc story that you do. when they were young they married girls who loved them for themselves alone and who endured every hard- ship With them; n any slave to help them get a start in the world; doing without every comfort and, luxury so that the money might go back into the business; making of their shoulders a ladder on which their husbands climbed to success. Twenty, thirty. forty years of absolute devotion and selflessness these women gave their husbands. Twenty. thirty. 5°11)’ years of cooking and washing and scrubbing and baby-tending, of watching by slclcbeds, of work and anxiety, and hoping and planning, of living Just for a. husband.

And then, the goal won, the fortune made. The wife's sen/low no longer needed. The man's e80 so Inflated that he thinks himself super- ior to his wife and is ashamed of her. His money and position make him worth exploiting by the gold-diggers, and young and pretty women flatter and cajole him and tel! him how young and handsome he is, and he falls for it like the veriest sap.

I-le decides that he needs a. pretty young wife to match his fine new furniture, and forgetting all that his old Wife has done for him he div- orces her and pensions her off with the least alimony her lawyers will let her take.

It is told to me every day. Not one of us but one of us but has seen it end lrl tragedy.

It is a common story. has seen it happen and not

For girls do not marry men old enough to be their fathers for any- thing except their pocketbooks andthe old man who thought that a young woman was in love with him finds out before the bridal tour is over that the only thing she loves about him is his money and she begins collecting the price for which she sold herself. His first wife saved him in every way. The young wife has no consideration whatever for him. 'I'.he first wife burnt incense at his feet. The young wife derides him for the old fool that he is, and lets him see that she is bored to tears by his fussy old ways.

And the man who thought he was too young for his old wife finds out that he is old also, and that he deluded himself in believing he was a. boy again. He can't go the pace with the youngsters. His old bones cry out for rest instead of being dragged around to places of amusement, and so it ends up by his sitting on the sidelines and paying the bills for the fling his young wife has with youngsters of her own age.

No mall on earth is more lonely, mor than the old husband of a young wife. not a taste, not a thought, not a memory miserable.

e forlorn, more out of the picture They have nothing in common. , and he is of all men the most

It is thc custom to pity the woman when a ma old wile for a pretty young girl, but the one to be old man who throws away the priceless devotion cf a lifetime for a pretty face that mocks him behind his back and whose every kiss has to be bought. DOROTHY DIX.

THE GOOIPS

RIIUBARB awn no JAM

Out the rhubarb into lull-ll pieces and stew it gently until sort with e little water, allowing $6 cup water to each four pounds of rhubarb.

For this quantity wash. dry, and mince a pound of dried figs and 56 cup blanched sweet almonds. Add these to the rhubarb pulp with the grated rind and Juice of two lemons and three pounds of granulated sugar. When sugar is dissolved, bring to the boll and boil for about half an hour. or until the jam sets.

RHUBARB AND ORANGE JAM

Cut the rhubarb into small pieces and weigh it. Allowing a couple of pounds of sugar to each three pounds of rhubarb, put a layer of the fruit in a basin, then a layer of sugar, and so on until all is used. adding with the rhubarb the grated rind and Juice of three oranges. Cov- er the basin and leave in a cool place for two days. ,

Then strain off the liquid into a preserving pan. bring it to the boil. and boll for ten minutes. Add the rest of the contents of the basin. and boil together, stirring well, till the Jam sets,

[You may use lemons, if you like. instead ofthe oranges, but it is not so good and more rhubarby.)

RHUBARB AND ORANGE JAM

This is made in the same way as the rhubarb and orange Jam, but in- stead of the orange rind and Juice you must add half a. pound of pre-

In the memory of most children there are milestones with blank stretches in between. Teresa Des- nlond's first landmark was in June, just before her seventh birthday.

"Unsafe? Subjects Listed .

A Mornlrlgsmila Beography was considered an "un-

safe" subject to teach in public schools in 1879. Miss A. E. Phillips, president of the London Teachers’ Association. in her presidential ad- dress at the annual conference, caused laughter by quoting from evi- dence given before a Select Com- mittee of the House of Commons rc- garding ‘\*xlravagant" school ex- penses in that year. “Geography, sir, is ruinous in its effects on the low- er classes," a witness said. "Reading, writing, and arithmetic are com- paratively safe. but geography in- variably leads to revolution. Phy- siology, besides being costly and use- less, is an immodest subJect. When the Author of the Universe hid the liver of man out of sight He did not want frail human creatures to see how l-lc had done it, Grammar is an cnervatlng exercise,"

A recent speaker before a woman's organization, talking on Persia, was telling about how careless the mm lover thcrc are with their wives. and {said lt was no uncommon sight to ‘see a woman and a donkey hitched i“?! tO-sether. Then he laughed, and said when he made that statement ‘in a speech at Detroit one of the ladflcs in the audience piped up:
