INTERFERING WITH CUPID.
Nearly All Brides Learn to Cook.
Give Them Time.
= Isl. pit..hn-zh NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
Although Cupid has been having trou-
BILE Of his own In Pennsylvania on ac-
count Of eugenics and other follies. a
Philadelphia parson would add to the
worries Of the promoter OF matrimony.
This man says that the great fncrease In
divorces Is chiefly because many young
wives know nothing about cooking or
making q home comfortable, and he pro-
poses that prospective brides be put
through an examination as to their capa-
bilities In such matters as cooking plain,
nourishing food, keeping the house spot
less, being cheerful and keeping house
hold expenses within the weeks salary.
The most important Of these Qualifca-
tons Is, OF course, the cooking of plain
and nou; fishing food. for, as everybody
knows. the way to mans heart is
through his stomach. But why disqualify
a would-be bride just because she cannot
pass an examination as to her cooking
abilities? Probably one-half OF the young
women who enter the matrimonial state
know little. II anything, of the culinary
art when they become wives, but just
give them little time and they rank
with the best cooks In the land as Tar as
the preparation of nouriShing food Is con-
cerned. II this be doubted. ask any ex-
perienced husband what his wife knew
about baking bread, pie and cake. and
about roasting, and Stewing and frying.
when they we married. Why. the cook
ing instinct comes next to the maternal
instinct In every normal representative
Of the gentle sex. And 1t soon becomes
so highly developed that her children
have good reason for Boosting In later
years about the meals she prepared for
them.

VOICE DIFFERENT VIEWS
ON TEACHING Of BLIND
Public Hearing on Plan for
Education in District
Schools Held.

The proposition to provide for the in
struction OF blind children In the
public schools of the District was dis
cussed at a public hearing granted by the
Commissioners today 10 the National LII
brary for the Blind and the District of
Columbia Association Of Workers for the
Blind.
Miss Ella Lorraine Dorsey, OF the Ma
tional Library for the Blind, said that
while good results in the training of blind
children have been accomplished al the
MARYLAND Institute Tor the ind where
most of the tlind children of Washington
are now educated. she favored the prop
osition to educate s.ghtless children in
the public schools of the city. Under the
present arrangement the District govern
ment assists in the education of only
those hind children whose parents are
willin- TO take pauper's oath.
Because of the wording of the appro-
priation OF Congress which provides q
fund 70 this pu pose aid is given only
INDECENT blind children. Miss Dorsey said
that education in the public schools
would remove this stigma OF pauperism
from the misfortune of blindness In the
District. This system, she said. has met
with great success In many other large
cities. Miss Eta Jocelyn Griffin, director
of the National Library for the Blind.

VALUABLE PAINTINGS GONE.
Reported to Have Disappeared From
Home of Former Senator Clark.

CHICAGO September 23.-The disap-
pearance of fourteen paintings valued at
S4SOOOO from the New York residence of
former United States Senator Clark of
Montana yesterday came to light during
the examination before the referee in
bankruptcy of William Y. c.. Humes Of
the de luxe art firm of Tomlinson Humes
Inc
1t developed a week ago in the hearing
that the paintings had been purchased
for S35 900. sold to E. P. Clark Of Los An
geles and then sent by Tomlinson Humes.
Inc, to the home of former Senator
Clark, where it was expected they would
be sold for $4SO.OCO.
Counsel for the trustees announced that
the paintings suddenly had been shipped
from New York to r. p. Clark In Los
Angeles. Mr. Humes denied being respOn-
sible for the disappearance of the pic
lures and said he had been warned that
they could not be removed legally.
The trustees also made an unsuccessful
effort to learn the whereabouts of the So
called Packenham edition of Shakespeare,
a valuable edition that had been offered
to numerous prospective purchasers.
