The Higher Life.

A big Chicago concern has solved
the problem which confronts many
large business houses Of providing a
recreation spot for their employees, by
utilizing the roof of it's new building.
In one section of the space the men
and boys play indoor baseball behind
strong wire netting. A continuation
of this space, rooted over and fur
nished with plenty of comfortable
chairs and settees and made attract
i've with flower stands and palms, is
a lounging room and smoker; and this
opens into the dining-room.
Rooms for the use of women en-
ployes, library and rest room and
an emergency hospital are on the
other side of the building, and open
ing from this section is a roof garden
exclusively for womens use. Wind
ing walks are bordered with flowers
and palms, and in them the women
and girls may saunter during their
recreation hour, gaze far out over the
city and lake, and forget the nerves"
sharpened by the daily grind.

Joke on Suffragists.

Society folk of Allegany county are
still laughing over practical joke played
on party of suffragists at the home Of a
prominent young matron, in Cumberland,
a few days ago.
Several bridge whist parties were given
at the young matron's home, much to the
discontinue of her husband, who rarely
played cards.
II attended one Of these parties, said
the husband, "and for three solid hours
the women gossiped and virtually tore
each other to pieces.
81 suggested to my wife that the next
time her friends met they should play a
new game, the rules of which would be
found in each deck of cards."
Seven deck of cards were distributed
at the next meeting. When the women
opened the little folders containing the
rules they read the following instructions
in rather large type; Keep your mouth
shut"

Children and Crime.

Over $4,000 children are arrested IN
New York city annually An investiga-
tor who has spent three years studying
the subject ascri5es the development OF
gunner" and 'gangsters" to that very
fact. In seeming paradox he blames the
enforcement OF the law for the increases
in juvenile lawlessness. More than half
the children arrested were seized by the
police tor ot1enSes not morally, but legally
wrong, playing baseball on the streets,
marbles or chalk games or innocent pas
times which they had no place else to
play. The greater portion of the other
arrests were for disorderlv or mischeiv-
GUS play. The effect of this stern repres-
sion of childish instincts is. says the in
vestigator, TO create spirit OF antagon-
ism against the law, to drive the children
to do by stealth what they are not per-
mitted to do openly, to foster sneaking
and vicious habits and prepare the soil
tor the development of the gangs and
gunner of later years.
The public playground is presented as
the logical remedy is present as the log
ical remedy for this condition. The
widespread adoption of the playground
movement has been promoted by public
recognition of the necessity OF providing
substitute for the streets. This New York
report adds emphasis to it by showing
that the movement is breeded not only
for the sake of the children, but for the
sake Of the community. Pittsburgh Dis

Doll Collectors.

A great many people collect dolls for
their own pleasure, and at the mo-

TIME TO EXERCISE CAUTION
Strenuous Exertion of Any Kind Is
Not for Those Who Have Reached
Middle Age.

The dancing craze has brought up
once more the question of exercise
for middle-aged people, and both sides
have been taken with fervor. A pro-
fessional strong man is quoted as say
ing that golf is too severe for men
who come to it late, and recommend
ing a weekend of complete rest rath-
er than exercise for people of years
who feel run down Perhaps that is
the safer side to take if one must
generalize, but CONGRATULATIONS upon
such question are very difficult. Age
is not properly to be measured in
years, but in the actual condition Of
the individual; so great are the eff
fects of heredity, habits, environment,
etc., that a man of sixty and one of
forty may be contemporaries. But GER
tainly after middle life is reached it
is the part of prudence to make sure
that there are no weak spots before
going in for a more active life. There
is something in the saying that mar
is as young as he feels, but one il

he is, and in one of these paroxysms
of youthfulness, such as the contagion
of the tango may bring on, he can cas-
lily by indiscretion do himself an in
jury. No doubt those who stand most
in need of caution are those who in
youth have been noted for strength,
agility and skill, and who have long
led sedentary life. They are apt to
be impulsive and energetic: they have
a pride in physical accomplishment
and high standard; what seems to
them a mere romp may be really
severe tax upon vital organs long ac-
customed to neutrality-suspicious.

KEEPS HIS BOY
ON The FARM
How Maryland Farmer Gave His
Son Life Interest In Farming.
SNOWDEN STABLER.

Since every farmer who has sons
must wish to keep them interested in
farming, I am going to tell how my
fathers system worked with me
When he was keeping herd Of cows
several years ago, my father told each
of US boys that as soon as we learned
to milk he would give each of us
calf. This made me long for the day
when would be old enough to milk
COW. I used to watch the COWS and
hang around the COW stable at milk
ing time and try to milk. When l was
seven years old got my calf. l fed
this calf myself and watched it every
day until it became COW. 1 became
so fond of COWS and calves that the
raising of the other calves was trusted
almost entirely to me. This gave me
something to do and kept me out of
mischief.
When my heifer was first fresh,
could scarcely stay in my skin. When
1 sold her calf, felt as if l were the
richest man in the world. l saved
this money and also the money l got
for the other calves she had, my
father getting the cows milk for her
feed. Later a neighbor gave me
nice pair of eve lambs. My father
and both took a liking to sheep and
as there seemed more money in them
for US than in COWS, we decided to get
flock and turn the COW stable into a
sheep fold. Father went to the stock
yards in Baltimore and bought twenty
ewes, which were of a very poor
grade He bought too, Shropshire
ram to go with them. I was to take
care of them when they came.
picked out all the good eve lambs and
my father sold off the old ones as fast
as the lambs took their places until
he had nice flock of grade Shrop-

Pennies Worth Much.

The familiar old English saying,
Take care of the pennies and the
pounds will take care of themselves"
proves it's worth whenever big coin
collection is sold. In London a few
days ago penny coined in the reign of
Ethelred brought $500 2100) by auc-
ton. One which was minted when AL
fred was king was sold for 5000 These
were coins dug out of finds" either
the secret stores of the thrifty of one
thousand years ago or the ruins Of
some ancient disbursing office. There
is a great deal of hidden treasure in
the earth, and if Ethelred pennies are
to be found in veins it would pay Eng
lish capitalists to start mining opera
tons.

The Farm Woman
Deserves Her Share
Should Have Her Say In Making Farm
and Home Investments That Pay.
H. J. PATTERSON, President.
Maryland Agricultural College.

When the farmer thinks of getting a
or not new sewing machine OF bread
mixer is not needed more. His wife
is the one to help him decide the ques-
ton. When he thinks Of getting a
share in pure bred stallion, perhaps
he had better think twice His wife
might be able to make a few pure
bred chickens pay even better. When
he is planning his field work, let him
see that the half days work needed
in the garden is done in season. A
good garden will help his wife take
better care Of his family than a dozen
fields of corn.
A lot of things can be done about
the house, from time to time, making
it brighter and more comfortable YET
costing little. A bay window might
make the living room a lot cosier and
provide place for a few flowers, a
nice, little corner to darn socks and
sew in. The farmer might build out a
bath room over the back porch with
a homemade bath tub in it. To be
sure he ought to have running water
to go with it. Why not? Some pipe
a few tools, and little knowledge of
pipe fitting would do the trick Add
little gasoline engine that could
grind feed and churn or run a separa.
tor. The whole outfit, engine, water,
and bath room ought not to cost over
500 if the farmer will turn to and get
busy. How many horses could he
buy for 500 that would save his wife
as such an outfit would and keep he1
young?
