WIFE AS A REAL HELPMEET
of the Home Calls for
Economic skill and Gem
eraIship.

Every woman who has her husbands
interests at heart, who spends judiciously
and dispenses her household duties prop
erly, is an economic unit.
And the man who belttles his wifes
duties who thinks that housekeeping has
less economic value than bookkeeping or
any other business that he may be engaged
in downtown, is crtainly very much mis-
taken"
At least Miss Helen Kline, the head
Of the domestic science department at
Columbia university-a pretty, sympa-
thetic, vivacious blonde-asserts in the
New York Mail
ITO begin with" she said 1.-THE wife is
the spender, or the business manager of
the home, So to speak. She handles the
cash and as rule not only superintends
all her buying and marketing, but does it
herself, and that, II she is a good house
keeper, not over the phone or by mai"
she added jestingly, but in person
mot alone this, but she sees to 1t that
her home is healthful, that her family is
properly nourished, 30 that good house
keeping is not only beneficial to those
nearest and dearest to her, but fundamen-
tally is to the welfare of the nation.
Remember" she added, I'm not dis
cussing the social butterfy-the merely
ornamental type; 1 have in mind the
woman who takes an interest in her home,
who doesn't depend entirely upon her help.
THE only fault I find with even the
good housekeeper of today" Miss Kline
frankly admitted, rs that she doesn't use
enough machinery. This involves loss

The annual inadequacy OF the parade
fund jars on II. J. Penfold, secretary. He
raises the protest that many who benefit
much, make little or no contributions to
the fund

owners, who give practically nothing" he

Then there are the little retailers who
make hundreds from Ak-Sar-Ben and con-
tribute, maybe. s. each to the fund. On
the other hand there are those who con-
tribute most generously, who directly real
lie the least, as for instance, the bankers.
However, the future Of Ak-sar-Be was
never brighter There is every reason to
believe, that the growth of the past will
continue.
Through the effects of time and several
removals the records and old accounts of
Ak-Sar-Ben have suffered and several Of
the annual chapters Of the financial story
are lost and not TO be replaced. For other
years the records are sometimes frag-

Keep from giving vent to his humorous concep-
ton OF things as they appear in court. Such a
proceeding would be dubbed undignifed, and so
Judge White manages to control his flow of wit
when in court, but when the tribunal is not in
session he gives his mood full play.
Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, son of one of
the most distinguished American scholars and
one of its rarest humorists, has great deal of
the fun of his father in him, but self-confessedy
he tries to hold its expression in check on many
occasions because it might be said that he was
trying to make Oliver Wendell Holmes the
second appear as Oliver Wendell Holmes the
first, and this the present justice modestly holds
to be impossible.
Not long ago a lawyer went to the residence
of one Of the associate justices of the Supreme
court, married man and one who the lawyer
thought was the staidest of the staid. The Wis

neither did he want to make a fight which
would bring the children into public notice and

came quick and sharp, "Pd tell them to go to the

Now it happened that the Justices wife

expression from the judicial minded one looked
with trepidation at Mrs Justice expecting to
see her overcome with modification at her hus-
bands outbreak. The visitor was relieved and
also somewhat surprised when Mrs. Justice said.
I'D tell them to go to the devil, too"

He was accompanied by a pack burro.
The trip was for archaeological and
chronological research, and Captain
Chittenden considers it one of the sc.
verest of his career. He estimates
that he dragged his donkey more than
five miles through the overlooked bot
toms of Louisiana.
OF the more than 100000 miles
which Captain Chittenden has covered

miles have been on foot. Testimony
OF his researches are found in most of

said that this explorer has devoted
more severe labor to the accomplish
ment of his many'expeditions than any

donations to museums have included
many valuable relics and much data
pertaining to the Indian tribes and
prehistoric Americans.
Captain Chittenden has visited prac-
t1cally every Indian tribe on the con-
tlnent and has lived with some of the
distinguished old chiefs as long as six
months, or a year. He has conse-
quently become versed in several In
