Two burglars found in a residence
in Flatbush, N. Y, in the early morn
ing were cornered as they made an at
tempt to escape. The son of the house
holder grappled with one of the house
breakers, who at once shot. The bull
let grazed the young man and struck
his mother. The burglar wrenched
himself free and with his companion
ran from the house, one of the two be.
ing shot by the son as they made their
escape The mother is dead, one
housebreaker is in the hospital and
the other in jail. The one who has con-
fessed that he killed the woman and
who knows that his life will be re-
quired by the law in punishment has
made the following statement: "Mr.
Staber and his sons are the ones to
be blamed for this killing. They were
fools to try to stop such men as we
when all we wanted was to make a
getaway. If we had been left alone
there would not have been any shoot
ing" The impulse of the average man
Is to defend his home as did young
Staber If 1t were otherwise burglary
would be more popular as a means Of
livelihood than it is, but there is truth
in the housebreaker's statement. The
courage of the man who, unarmed,
attacks intruders whom he must know
to be armed and desperate cannot be
questioned, but frequently his discre-
tion can. A household awakened to
the knowledge that burglars are pack
ing off their valuables cannot be ex-
pectedto remember all the advice which
should govern in such emergencies, but
many times it will be profitable to re-
member that an indiscreet attack may
cause more serious loss than that of
property. The professional" burglar,
II discovered, has but one desire. That
Is to make his escape with as much
Of the property as he can carry with
out delaying his departure and with
out hampering his movements, and to
make 1t with as little trouble as pos
sible. He will not add willingly to the
seriousness Of his offense by shooting.
This is not because he is a humani-
tartan but because he has no wish to
Increase his crimes and the penalties.
His chances of escape diminish as the
gravity Of his offense increases. The
householder's courage will not be ques-
toned If he protects his property
without exposing himself uselessly in
an unequal conflict

1t is no exaggeration to say that
American girls are allowed a greater
degree of liberty now than their
grandmothers were permitted to exer-
else in their recreations, in making
acquaintances and in receiving atten-
tions from men. There was never a
time when girls needed more the coun-
sells of parents, their wise and tender
and vigilant care and guidance, than
now. There was never a time when
for their own good there was greater
necessity than now for girls to sur
round themselves with the safeguards
of discriminating exclusiveness, to
make no friendships until they are
satisfied that these associates are COM
patible with the purest and highest
standards of womanhood.

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONs
By Clarence L. Cullen.
~~N~-~~NN~~

Many woman who imagines that
she is the apple Of her husbands eye
Is really only the crabapple of his WIS.,
ion.
A small boy with his first drum isn't
In 1t as a nuisance with the womau
that develops what she thinks is tai
ent for sarcasm.
You don't know what being in bad
means until your wife becomes ac-
quainted with a bunch of women who
can easily afford to pay 500 apiece for
their hats.
When a man is a nagger he general
ly knows it and has his moments of
self-contempt. But when a woman is
termagant she goes to her grave
without ever finding it out.
We know a male jellyfsh who is i'm
becile enough to permit his wife to
make him eat onions, although he de-
spises them and they like him not, just
because she herself wants to eat a
mess Of them.
Why is it that woman will begin,
at the breakfast table, to tell her hus-
band an interminable intricate, and
meaningless dream that she has had
when she knows that he is already
twenty minutes behind his office-reach-
ing schedule?
The soured old harpies who buzz
around young women and advise them
to take the reins from the start
never by any chance 60 through with
1t and elucidate how they themselves
made out at that personally conducted
reins-handling job.
Why Is 1t that when a woman in
the public eye, whose reputation al
ways has been considered unimpeach-
able-a certain noted female singer,
say-gets her name dragged into di-
vorce case the women who read about
1t generally appear to be oh-so-g GLADLY
glad?
When two or three over-indulged
women who pretend to believe that
their husbands mistreat them get to-
gether at shopping luncheon, the en-
suing rataplan makes blank cart
ridge skirmish drill sound by compari-
son like the rustling Of autumnal
zephyrs among dead leaves.
The self-same woman, whose hus-
band always takes off her shoes when
she returns from a wholly unnecessary
day of shop -gadding, generally is the
one who says to her woman cronies,
"'Deed I've got picture of myself
pressing my husbands trousers
huh"
| "I'd rather die or work in some
! body's kitchen than take cent of
your detestable money! is what they
all say while the details Of the mu.
tual agreement divorce are being ar
ranged. But when the decree is hand
ed down they line up greedily at the
alimony counter all the same.
