A cheerful word or smile Will
fill your freside with pleasantness,
rekindle the fires of love in your
wife's bosom and brighten the
hopes and aspirations of your
children. Chccrfulness is better
than doctors medicine. and cheer
full home is al earthly heaven.
Let the sunshine into the gloomy
rooms, have Il couch to lie on, a
piano to play on; in fact, a home to
live in, and wherein sense of
hospitality and good cheer exudes
from the very table and chairs, in
stead of a mausole nm of gloomy
elegance, wherein everything is for
show and nothing to be used.
The gleeful life of happy child
rem is the best home music and the
graceful figures of childhood are
the best statuary. We are all
kings and queens in the cradle. a
home without Il child II is like a
lantern without candle, a garden
and no flowers, a vine and no
grapes, a brook and no water CUR
Cling and gushing in its channel.
Home should be Just one blaze
of sunshine. But it can not be
while some member Of the family
circle is swapping and fault-tinding
and selfish. DO people ever 90
more deliberately and insanely at
work to make themselves miserable
than they do when they deliberate

on earth where they have any rea-
son to expect ANYTHING like perfect
quiet and happiness!
Cultivatp cheerful disposition.
DO not wrap mp all YOU; interest,
all your thoughts and ambition in
self. Seek TO please those With
whom you associate, and, above
all, strive to tighten the burdens
and hours of the ones at home who
call you husband, father or BROTH

ment, or how h-ayy the eros, you
bear, DO not 90 over the jblcshoid
of your home with IL sulieu. cheer

COTTON CORNER"
BEFORE THE COURT
Justices Ask Questions as to
Squeezing Shorts.

At the outset, almost, Of the govern
ment's arguments in the Supreme Court
yesterday, in what are popularity known
as the cotton corner" cases against
Patton and others, the Chief Justice and
his associates propounded certain signin-
cant inquiries to Solicitor General Leh-
mann.
Mr.. Lehman was describing the plan
of squeezing the shorts" Justice Lur-
ton asked If the method described by
buying or selling for future delivery
more than the available supply was not
common practice on the exchanges OF
the country not only as to cotton, but
other commodities as we'll. Mr.. Lehman
replied that 1t was a common practice.
Chief Justice White asked Mr.. Leh-
mann IL the government meant to con-
tend because the brokers had sold or
brought. more cotton for delivery at a
future specified time than was available
for such delivery than was in existence
that a conspiracy resulted. The Chief
Justice said 1t reminded him of some
of the old arguments against the gold
standard that there were more dollars in
debts contracted to be paid than there
were gold dollars In existence to pay.
This argument. he limited, was fallaSious
in that it did not take into account that
one transaction might offset another just
as one dollar in its rounds might settle
many dollars in debts in the process Of
IiQuidation one debt offsetting another.
Former Senator John c. Spooner, Of
counsel for Patten and the other defen-
dants, looked amused and pleased at the
Chief Justices observations. The Solici-
tor General replied that there was a wide
difference between the. ordinary course Of

business buying and selling, regardless
Of supply and deliberate conspiracy
among traders with full knowledge Of
conditions OF the crop to restrain trade
by running a corner and to enhance the
price Of prime necessity.
Corners have been held to be Illegal
over and over again." said the Solicitor
General
The arguments began after the after
noon recess. The time was extended to
one hour and half on each side at the
request OF ex-senator Spooner.
The government appealed the case.
Briefly, the history is as follows:
James A. Patten, Eugene G. Scales
Frank B. Hayne, William p. Brown, and
Robert N. Thompson were indicted as
conspirators, and Charles A. Kittle, Full
Ter E. Galloway. James w. Cannon, and
Lewis w. Parker were named as CO..
conspirators In indictments returned in
the Federal Court for the Southern dis
trtct of New York for conspirinE to
corner" the available supply of the cot
ton crop Of the United States for the
crop year ended September /, 1910 The
defendants demurred to the counts of
the Indictment, and this demurrer as to
certain counts, was sustained. From this
Judgment the government appealed. The
defendants In error, Patten ct al, were
represented in the arguments by Henry
Wollman, George P. Merrick, former
Senator John c. Spooner, and Joseph p.

There Are Now approximately

mort of the Board of Children's Guard
fans which was made public yesterday

tant branches of work under the juris-
diction Of the board.
It is estimated that there are now ap-
proximately 1,cO3 feeble-minded persons
in the District end 3O7,1S5 in the entire
United States. Statistics show that one
third Of the inmates of almshouses anc
tails in the country are feeble-minded
and have become paupers and criminals
for want Of proper care. Between L and
% per cent of the criminals in the coun-
try are feeble-minded. A large percent
age is due TO heredity, it is said.
Bill Failed Last Session.
A bill was introduced in the last ses-
sion of Congress providing for the estab-
lishment of a school for feeble-minded
children, but failed to pass.
The report points out that the work of
the board is greatly hampered because
of the lack of adequate facilities and
employees. At present there is only one
investigating clerk employed Dy lne
board.
During the year sixty-six children were
committed to the care of the board during
minority and 1O6 temporarily by the Juve-
nile Court. The board handled total
of 1.299 cases during the year. Three hun
dred and eighty-three cases were adjust
ed by private arrangements. The fiscal
year was begun with 1,523 wards under
the care of the board. During the year
119 children were committed as perma-
nent and 24 as temporary wards. One
hundred and sixteen became of age and
were discharged. Six were married.
Expenses of Board.
The expense of administration during
the year was S2,24S59. 5000 was required
for salaries, the board and care of chill
dren cost $39, Us. 45, and 81, 5,622.79 was used
for the care of the feebIe-minded. The
board asks a total budget of $3.50 for
conducting the work during the next ifs
cal year.

The passengers complained to the COM
mission. which yesterday decided that
while it had no authority to act upon
the particular complaint, investigation
should be made to determine whether
similar troubles could be avoided in the
future through the operation Of addition
al cars.
Complaint Over Service.
A complaint was heard from the Ana
costa Citizens Association, stating that
the service TO Anacostia was too infre-
quent during the noon hours. Secretary
Eddy, of the commission, was instructed
to inform the complaining organization
that recent Investigations along the same
lines had failed to substantiate its con-
tention.
a complaint was heard against an al
legged practice on the part of bound
cars in Eleventh street-cars coming
from the Union Station-carrying signs
Indicating that they are going to the
