world are going to see how neces-
sary it is to control the conditions
under which children are propa-
gated and reared.
Science will establish laws and
parents will abide by them. No
criminal, no diseased person, no
drunkard, will be allowed to pro-
duce his kind.
Before a marriage license can
be procured, in that day to come,
a committee will investigate the
conditions and decide whether
the parties are pro-Ar people to

to the preparation Of men and
women for marriage ana parent
hood-the most important occu-
! patton Of life.
Women Will Be Guarded.
Women will be guarded and
protected before the birth Of
children and taught the wonder
full import of parental influence.
Men will lift their hats to an
expectant mother and the child
will be welcomed with rejoicing
and reared as carefully as he was
born.
This was done in the days of
old Greece, but woman was not
allowed the intellectual freedom
which is hers to-day, and the
world was more cruel and pos
Eessed less scientific knowledge.
In the next 100 years Science
is to make marvellous religious
truths, only known now to the
few enlightened minds universal
facts, and that will help men and
women to go about the propaga-
ton of a higher order of human
beings with reverence and pa
thence.
The time will come when it will
seem a matter of surprise to the
denizens of the earth that dis
eased and vicious people we're
ever allowed to produce offspring.
Meantime, let mothers remember
how much they can do to-day by
keeping their minds uplifted and
their hearts full of love for the
unborn child they are molding.
And let them think before they
become wives of the manner of
men they are choosing for the ia
theirs of their children.
Every well-born child which
comes into the world to-day will
help along that time Of which
Miss Sickles writes-the time still
far away, but coming nearer and

shall realize what it means to
populate the earth.

He is blowing her to a good
time" They sit on the terrace of
some smart restaurant, well
dressed, eating dainty food. with
soft light and beautiful surround
ings about them. The next scene
is after marriage. They sit in
their plain little kitchen sur
rounded by the odor of the stew
cooking on the stove, the man in
his shirt sleeves, smoking a pipe,
everything poor and plain and
unbeautiful And the wife's face
shows what she's thinking about
it all
The moral of all of which is:
Don't court a girl in taxicab and
expect her to be satisfied to walk
after marriage, and don't take
your bride to Europe on a honey
moon and expect her to be thrill
ed with a kitchenette apartment
when you get home.
Thes sudden drops make wom-
en- dizzy.

and to go to the movies and have
an occasional glass Of ice cream
soda.
Many a woman secretly accuses
her husband of being a tightwad,
or of having ceased to love her,
because after marriage he does
not indulge her in the things that
he did before marriage, and that
his munificence then led her to
expect. She doesn't stop to reflect
that the money that used to go
into candy and flowers is now 60
ing into beefsteak and onions for
her daily sustenance.
There is no doubt, however that
a very large per cent of domestic
misery is caused by men fostering
these false ideas in women before
marriage and leading them to ex-
pect a grandeur that they have no
way of attaining. This not I'M
naturally provokes bitter disap-
pointment and chagrin in the dis
appointed wives, and the result is
misery for both.

lures that cause people to think,
has illustrated this little comedy
or tragedy-of life in the ac-
companying picture In it you see

partment store. on the book

Lucky to Ride in Cars.

The average girl has never had
the handling of any money, and
knows nothing about business.
Therefore when a youth feeds her

her off to $40 dinners, she ar

a criticism on it, and that instead
of considering her an angel, she
is led to believe that he thinks
her the most faulty individual liv-
ing, it gives her the shock of her
life.
Also, when a man is counting a
maid he does it by means of gifts.
and flowers, and candy, and the
alter tickets, and restaurants.
There's nothing too good for her.
and he scatters his money around

BEAUTY IN AN Ak.
Glowing Tribute to the Symmetry Of
the American Product.

In Professor r. De Tarmo's "AeS-
thetic Education" Won Hartmann's
formal orders of beauty are the text
for several chapters. one Of which in
treating the proportion maintains the
following thesis:
There Is an actual. possibly nee
essary. correlation between mechani-
cal efficiency aud aesthetic proportion.
In other words. as u tool or n ma
chine increases in all round efficiency
there Is Il corresponding increase in the
aesthetic quality Of its proportions"
As an example the American Ak.
"the most beautiful In existence" is
described and uualyzcd.

A story once went the rounds in Paris
that an enterprising visitor to M. Con-

"Many thanks" said Constans, but

The retort found its way to Constan-
tinople. and when NJ. Constans arrived
there as French ambassador he was
struck by the exaggerated Difference OF

man who did his murders himself was

known as the good Samaritan of
