Reed OF 1901 Newton street northwest,
and the third to Miss Elsie Averiel. Of
the Plymouth apartments.
Miss Parker displayed rluch original
ity in her preparation of the answers to
the puzzle advertisements. which have
appeared in the classified columns of
The Times from day to day. Her seven
answers were all illustrated with clever
cartoons. in which the fair winner
showed more than the average humor
and an ability 10 draw which betrayed
none OF the faults of mediocrity. Her
cover design for the seven illustrated
ads was especially good. The central
figure was q humorous Illustration

sented their answers in forms that are
testimonials of their originality and in
telligence, and in this have exceeded
the expectations of the judges.

BUILDING FOUNTAIN
IN FRONT Of STATION

The little red circular tent on the es-
Dlanade lust in front OF the Union Sta
ton has aroused the curiosity Of many
to know lust why It has been placed
there. Some have mistaken il for
Observation-Disclosures station Of the
American Red Cross, some have thought
it 70 be a merry-go-round covering. still
others have guessed Il might be the
gospel tent OF some new religion. and
many have said it TO be the advance
guard OF a circus. or, at least. possibly
the tent where the pink lemonade was
dispensed.
Inquiry at the Station reveals that
the crimson canvas Is the covering Of

WHAT'S THE USE OF KlcKlNG7

 Question.

If kicking would belu some 1t would be worth while. but 1t does not On the contrary. 1t flinders.
 Then why do rational. sensible men and women indulge in it?
 There is a question that is worthy of more than a passing thought, for it relates to human comfort, prosper ity. and success:
 Why do you kick when things do not go to please you?
 ;s it not because you were taught to do so? Didn't your parents, your big brothers and sisters, and maybe the men and women you admired. grumble and complain. or kick, when things did not go to suit them. even when it's fault was their own? And are not your children learning l in the same way from you? Maybe you had no thought of this before? Now that your attention has been called to 1t, and you have thought about it, if you do not act accordingly i you will not be doing right, and to | fail to do that which you know to be
 right is to sin.
 Kicking Is, therefore, sign Of III | breeding, and one that young folks ' should take into account when choos ing life partners. for a kicker in matri l monial harness loses the race. besides

TWO IDEALS @ THE FAMILY.
For Comparison. One May Be Called Despotie and the Other Dem
 ocratic.

To-day two ideals of the family are struggling for mastery-the old des- potic family, of Roman origin and ec- clesiastical sanction. based on the au- thority of the husband and the meTS- ing of the wife's legal personality in his. and the democratic family. of Ger manic origin. based on the consenting and harmonious wills of two equals. The one goes naturally with pioneer ing. agriculture and warfare. which
 put men to the fore; the other goes
 with industry, peace and city life,
 which add to the consequence of woEn- en. In proportion as women escape from sbject mental dependence on men and find point of view of their own, they spurn patriarchal claims ard expect marriage to be the union of equal wills. What with more girls than boys in the high schools. and half as many women as men in col lege, 1t is not surprising that women
 more and more enter marriage with a
 connubial ideal of their own. Never. theiess, the me, they wed-many of them-cherish the conviction tha. tha husband is the rightfuI "headc of the family. The resulting clash of ideals
 Is none the less disastrous because |,
 is only an incident of a transition process in social evolution. Magazine.

 It is a simple melody in the minor key. suggestive, like most Slay music, Of sorrow and unrest, and it is called "Matushka," or Mother Volga." as for some cryptic reason every Rus sian. be he noble or nihilist, is taught from childhood to regard this great river in the light Of a maternal reia tive.

NOT MUCH TROUBLE TO WRITE
Some Proper Names That at Least Have the Distinguishing Merit
 of Novelty.

Tn the Zuyder Zee there Is a bay called Y. and Amsterdam has a river Y. while. strange to say. in quite an- other part of the earth, in China. the same brief name is given 10 town.
 Elsewhere in the .iowery Kingdom, in the province of Honan. there is a city called U. and in France there is a river and in Sweden a town rejeic ing in the name of A.
 Proper names of this brief nature are not, however. monopolized by places: instances ase on record where individuals have been similarly named Some years ago there was a shop kept on the Rue de Louvan, Brussels. by Theresa O. and there is a Mime. O ir Paris, who Is well-known as the pro prietor of popular cafe.
 An amusing incident is recounted ir connection with the impressment into the military service of the son of one of the members of the O family.

HUDSoN'S HALF MOON
 DUE AT NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July 2l.-The Half Moon. looking just as she did when she came into New York bay and as- ccnded the Hudson river 300 years ago. is due to arrive here from Hol- land tomorrow. This time. however, the trim little craft is without Henry Hudson and his gallant crew. More over, instead of crossing the Allan tic under her own sail. she is being brought over on the ceci of steam ship.
 The vessel is an exact replica of the boat in which Hudson sailed when he discovered the Hudson river. She is being brought over from Holland to take part in the great naval pa geant this fall Tn celebration of the tercentenary of the discovery of the Hudson river. Upon arriving here the vessel will be taken to the Brooklyn navy yards to receive her final equip ment.

PREMATURE AGE NOT NORMAL
NankInd. Net Nature, to Blanc fer insirmitlss that Tend to
 Shorten Life.


 It is not a crime to grow old if you do SO, naturally and gracefully. In fact 1t is most creditable. and highly honorable.
 However. it is . crime to grow old beyond your years. To do so you must abuse and mistreat yourself. Ma ture never intended that any one should grow old prematurely. but to mature and ripcn normally, and re- tain the natural senses and tastes un- til the machine finally runs down and stops.
 Infirmity is never sent upon any one. but every one who ages prema- turely. or grows infirm must take the blame to himself. Infirmity. which is physical weakness. is invited. en- couraged and maintained, and 1t comes not except in answer to dis tinct and oft-repeated invitations.
 It is true that with centuries of ill- breeding. with selfish culture and wrong living. 1t is but natural that there should be many physical and moral detectives. but the tendency is so strong toward the normal that 1t does not take long to get back to the right way.
 This tendency to the normal is well marked and quite noticeable fn all the kingdoms Of nature.
 The daisy is beaten down by the storm. but how quickly it recovers, A stalk of corn is bent and hindered by clod. but when the intolerance is removed 1t soon straightens up.
