Practical Danish Schools.

In the schools of Denmark, read
ing and spelling are not mechanical
and treated as arts complete in them
selves, but taught in an incidental
way. Separate spelling is unknown"
These schools have been carefully
studied by men sent by Commissioner
Claxton to find out how they have
changed "a poor, warcrippled country
into q rich, happy one" Character de-
velopment is one Of the chief aims Of
the folk high school, and men and

learn how to do their daily work bet

70 KEEP HIS MEMORY GREEN

The man was Henry X. Barnes, .
man whom some called lonely old
bachelor" without kith or kin. But
these didn't know, as the employees
OF Young's hotel can testify to. For
40 years-as many as he had been q
guest OF the hotel-the old man had
many hth. and they ranged from the
pretty young telephone girls in the
lobby down to the aging head waiter,
George Belts, who had been in the
hotel as long as Mr.. Barnes. q mem

Co., manufacturer Of leather supplies,
had been there himself.
As an evidence Of the esteem In
which he held these friends, the old
man, without kith or KIM" has left
many requests to his friends in the
hotel, and they are telling over there
Of the many things he did while max
ing the hotel his home to make life
q bit more cheerful for those with
whom he came In daily contact There
are instances told Of how he sent
young stenographers home in taxicabs

EXERCISE IN THE FRESH AIR

Occupation.

When health Is the great desidera-
tum one should not hesitate to make
almost any sacrifice to obtain 1t. This
was we'll illustrated by the man who
recently double-crossed the continent
in 1922 days. At the time Of his leav-

threatened with consumption. He
realized that fresh air, exercise and
sunshine formed the perfect trinity
that spells health. He started on that
long tramp expecting health as the re-
suit. Did he get It? Sure. One gets
what he expects-not merely what he
hopes for; not merely what he de-
sires, but he must expect to get that
for which he hopes and desires; then
lay hold Of the means, as did this
man, whereby the object may be OBJ

Women Multiply Their Trouble.


The popularity Of bridge has swept
all records so far this season. Any
prominent society dame gets an aver
age of, say, one invitation per after
noon. This she. could manage beauti.
fully were the invitations for success
sive dates. But suppose they bunch
themselves SO that she gets half
dozen for the same afternoon? So
ciety, through necessity, has evolved
q noval plan to meet this. It is the
substitute. BY the operation Of this
plan, the much-rushed society woman
is enabled to enjoy her afternoon Of
bridge at the house she chooses, Sc
cure in the knowledge that she Is be-
ing represented by her proxies In five
other homes. Bridge for bridges sake
has resulted, for the invasion Of the
proxy has done away with the social
aspect to q marked degree. But the
proxy player has come to stay, az
she il q necessity In the strenuous
life Of the social swim.

FIXED HIM FOR THE EVENING
Wherever Ho Went, Wife Was Pretty
Sure Hubby Would Not Do Any
Roof Gardening.

DR.. A. F. Christian, q Boston ply
sician, announces that Ice cream Is the
best remedy for alcoholism. At re-
cent luncheon, Doctor Christian,
apropos of this fact, told story.
Roof gardens" he said, land roof
gardening, during the wife's absence
at the seashore, are responsible for q
good deal Of midsummer alcoholism.
But, II the wife is home, she can re-
strain the roof-gardening tendencies
on her husbands part.
"Thus, q would-be roof gardener said
to his wife the other evening after
dinner:
"I'll have to return to the office
right away, my dear. And I'm afraid
Ill be kept rather late. I've got to
post my books for the entire month
"'Win you be going anywhere else
besides the officer she said, calmly.
Er-no,' he replied.
"'Then,' said she, I'll just ask you
to stop in at the corner grocery before
It closes and get me couple Of nice
salt mackerel. You can bring them
home with you afterward.'
'Er-all right he muttered.
"Then, as he set out, gloomily, his
wife said to herself with smile:
"Well, / guess he won't do much
roofgardening tonight with two great
big wet mackerel in his pocket"

in Congress the other day, IN
favor of National prohibition.
Mr.. Decker said in part:
THE question of revenue does
not appeal to me. The question
of revenue is raised when you try
to get prohibition in your own
town or in your own county. In
Jasper county, where / live, we
have more miles of good roads
than any other county in the
state. Every time an effort is
made to destroy the liquor traffic
its friends point to the good
roads and say we could not have
them without the saloons.
"The liquor traffic induces a
man to buy whisky and beer with
money that should be used to
buy shoes and clothing, and
when at night he goes home
without groceries to a Preside
that is desolate, he has the salts
faction of knowing he has had
good roads to stagger home on.
/ say that locally and natl onally
sober men and happy homes are
more important than revenue.
THE gentleman from Wiscon-
sin (Mr. Lenroot) said that a
representative should not vote
for this resolution unless he be-
lieves it was necessary. On my
responsibility as a representative
OF the American people I boldly
state that I believe that the de-
struction of liquor traffic is nee
essary to the perpetuity and pro-
gress of this natiyn. We spend
much time talking about horses
and cattle and hogs and mules.
AS Carlisle said, in substance,
We refine sugar and strengthen
steel and shape pottery, but to
refine and to strengthen, to
mould a human life, too seldom
enters into our estimate of advan-
tages.'
Relying not upon statistics,
but upon my own observations, !
believe that the liquor traffic is
the greatest menace to this ma.
tion. 1t never has brought
smile to a woman's face; it never
has brought gladuess to the
heart of a child; it never has
brought Drawn to the arm of the
laboring man, or strength to the
brain of the statesman; it makes
widows and orphans; it brings
poverty and misery; it increases
crime; it weakens the individual
and also weakens the state. Its
eradication, therefore, is neces
sary to the welfare of the nation.
THE next objection made by
the gentleman from Wisconsin is
that this is local issue. l be-
lieve it is a national evil and a
national issue. The liquor traffic
does not stop at geographical
lines. 1t knows no city limits or
county or state boundaries. They
boast in my state, they boast in
my town about how much liquor
they ship into the dry states of
Kansas and Oklahoma. If the
brewers and wholesale liquor
dealers of my state dare, as they
do dare, to fight against the will
of the dry states of Kansas and
Oklahoma, then surely by means
of a national amendment Kansas
and Oklahoma ought to have a
right to fight against the brew.
ers and wholesale liquor dealers
of my state.
'They say this resolution vio-
lates the doctrine of states
rights. l believe in the doctrine
of states rights, but we should
never forget that one of the most
sacred rights of the states is the
right to amend the constitution.

 out the rooms Green bowers and fern were used in the large hall to good effect Five hundred was the pastime and there were ten tables in play Miss Sophie Harris, who held 1 the highest score, and Mrs. John P. , Conmy, who was second, were favored | with handsome rememberances.

ors. As secretary of the association, opinions of those present when the resolution was passed as well as of those who responded to the letters.
 This action seems quite radical and the need for it may not be apparent so an explanation will prove timely. Of late years there has been tendency toward extravaganza and elaborateness in dress which seems out of place in an institution like the High School It is customary for the senior girls to have not less than three dresses for the several commencement affairs. the banquets. baccalaureate and com mencement exercises proper. For these same occasions the boys have at times adopted d costume. Much of this has seemed unnecessary and undesirable, hence the action of the association.
 The very general opinion as eX- pressed to me, is in favor of simplicity in dress. not only for the special oc- casiOns noted above, but for every day wear. I believe that parents have no desire to deprive our girls of the many pretty things that are so dear to a girls heart, but rather that the girls be influences to see what is the proper mode of dressing for different occas-
 ions and that at no time shall a girl make herself conspicuous by her clothes either by over-dressing or by inappropriate dressing. For daily wear that which is neat and serviceable is most to be desired.
 It is believed that the effect upon the individual of extreme dressing, with it's attendant undue expense, is far from desirab ble. Our girls are prone tn believe that these things are es- sentiai--they overshadow the more necessary things. As one parent wrote me. 50 long as womanhood is measured by the length of her illow plume, and manhood by his bank account. we cannot hope for much in mental and moral develop
