The QUESTION QUEST

TITS something new" said conscf-
entious Mrs. Housekeep. when
Henry went away on his last trip he
told me that he did hope I'd begin
to take an interest in the Questions of
the day, and read about them in the
papers; and, my dear, If I'd ever had
any idea how interesting the CUES
lions of the Day are. policemen and
jails couldn't have kept me from
them.
1.-THE Magazine Section of the Sun

most important Questions of the Day
Is whether Clara Devere, of Hamilcar,
Ohio, did or did not put rat poison in
her husbands coffee. There's two
whole pages about it, with pictures.
You see, they've proved that she went
to the drug store and bought some
thing for rats, but every woman on
earth has done that. This case is es-
peciaIly complicated on account of the
servant-girl in the house. That's her
picture up there. She's trying to look
as though butter wouldn't melt in her
mouth, but I've seen those tricks be-
fore. If ever there was a sly hussy
it's that girl. She looks the very i'm
age of my husbands second cousin,
Henrietta Kinks, who is a deceitful
cat of the first water, and who leads

But the Question of the Day that's
ever more puzzling is the question
asked in the Sunday Yell: Did Mrs.
WatIey looms, of Waukegan, run
away with the chauffeur because she
loved him or because she wanted to
get away from her mother-in-law? p
Sometimes think one way and some
times another. But this I will say:
When my sister-inlaw was living with
us, just after Henry and were mar

SOME SOCIAL OBSERVANCE
The Gall

The common ordinary call is a ming
ling of pleasure and duty-of pleasure
when we are referring to it in the
presence of the one called upon, and
of duty when we are talking to our
selves 1t lies at the root of all So
cial impulses. 1t is the foundation
stone of society. The lamentations of
Mrs. Noah have not been recorded,
but we know how badly she must have
felt after that little freshet that took
place some paltry centuries ago, to
think there was one left to send out
cards to. Mrs. Noah, so to speak, had
to raise her own callers. and then she
was too old to enjoy calling as it
ought to be enjoyed. When Mrs.
Shem or Mrs. Japhet dropped in and
remarked how pretty the artificial
flowers in the glass case in the parlor
fresh that morning, Mrs. Noah no
doubt had not the youthful vein of sar-
casm to reply in a way that would
show her caller the measure of her
appreciation of something which she
knew was intended to make her I'M
comfortable.
Since Mrs. Noah's time, women have
gone on making calls more or less fire.
quently, and men have avoided them,
with much the same logged persist
ence that has marked a Columbus or
Carlyle.
mans idea about making a call
is that it is one of the best and finest
and most desirable and easiest things
not to do: and he believes this
good deal more than he does religion
or politics. The proposition in logic
that all men are not callers,-Jones is
not a caller, therefore Jones is man,
is a fundamental axiom, and no one
but woman would ever think of con.
tradicting it. The only time when the
average man takes a genuine pleasure
in a call is when he holds four aces.
The average woman, on the other
hand, is a caller by nature, tempera-
ment. tradition, premeditated design
and inclination. She not only calls to
show what she herself has on, but al
SO to find out if what the other woman
has on is any better-thus killing two
birds with one stone. The ordinary
call is also to her a social training
school, whereby she learns to talk with
out thinking. 1t is easier to talk with
out thinking when one is in a crowd.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-08-16

all doing the same thing, but one IS
apt to become self-conscious where
there is only one other listening. and
this in itself is good practice.
A call is not properly a call when
there are more than two participants
1t then becomes a community of in
sip1ency and is on the edge of being
a function.
Among women, the common or or
binary call is complete when two
women meet for twenty minutes to
decide ID which one has the better
clothes; (2) which one has the better
husband; and (3) which one has the
better servant. It is then time to go.

 That the blood feud is an anach- 1"nism today is instinctively felt by all but a few For melodramatic poitation of the primitive virtues" :" p}aywrights and authors have sue cecdd in maintaining for the gentle pastime a sort of vogue But even these are not taken seriously. How ever defective the operations of law, they are accepted as being far better than lawlessness. The feudlsts are not admirable folk from any point of view. They arc 8 menace to each other and q curse to their community.
 Seeing that nations have reached the point where they no longer look with approval upon these forms of family reprisa1, may they not be cx- pected one day to bow to the higher jaw which will call for the settlement Of their own hatreds and animosities ny other methods than through a re- course to war? Obviously, there is 10 more reason fer a deadly antipathy toward a man because he belongs to a given nation than there could be toward him for belonging to tr given family. Although the evidence pre- s:nted by most of the nations today is not very hopeful, the fact that the private blood feud is generally froWned upon lends some promise that they, too, may eventually conclude that wholesale murder is equally in effectual in settling any difficulty in the proper manner,

Blood FeudS.
Washington Post.

Opportunity was taken of a school entertainment held at a town in West Virginia last Thursday for six brothers, three on a side, to settle the burning ques stion whether the world, as they knew IL, was big enough to hold them all at one and the same time. Pairing off, with knives as the deciding factors in the argument, the two eldest promptly hacked each other to death. The next two are reported dying. while the youngest pair is expected to re- cover, thus presaging a postponemcnt of d final adjustment of the issue to a more propitious date.
 How much better they and the world are off as a. result of their blood feud hardly calls for consideration outside of limited circles, so far has the generality of men progressed be- Nond this primitive code. In an earlier age, the blCod law was uni NCrsallN aCcCpeted.

When this is done the question is what will the liquor element do, and by that is included not only those who are actually en- gagged in the business but those who are in sympathy with regulating the liquor business and they constitute very, large portion of the voting pop ulation of the country. It is not pos sible for this element and the proh1ol- tionsts to travel together and so 1t would seem as things look now that the national conventions next year will be interesting bodies and that the campaigns will be fought out on some peculiar issues.

Bring Back the Birds.
Chicago Journal.)

Why cannot American farmers,
 economists and nature lovers make
 1915 a banner year for birds?
 We ought to preserve the birds for
 their own sake, for their beauty, their
 song. their vivid life that adds so
 vastly to the attra ctiVeneSs of field and
 grove. But if not for these sentiment
 tai reasons-which are the sanest of
 all-then let us foster bird life be-
 cause it is necessary to the prosperity
 of the land, because it will yield the
 biggest kinds of returns in cash.
 Birds are the great natural des-
 troyers of noxious insects. The stomach of a yellow billed cuckoo shot at 6 o'clock in the morn ing contained partly digested remains
 of fortythree tent caterpillars. Heaven
 only knows how many more the bird would have eaten before night The stomach of four chikadees con- tained 1928 eggs of the canl1er worm. The stomach of a single robin exam ined at the State laboratories of Illin- ois contained 175 larvae which prey on grass roots
