cations are funnier than ever in the
midst of a brilliant company with
which Mr.. Cort has surrounded them
in his magnificent revival this aso
The chorus OF The Ham Tree is a
chorus such as you seldom see-ifty
pretty girls and nimble youths. all of
whom are solo, wooden-shoe. soft-shoe,
buck-and-wing dancers that reflect the
work OF the master craftsman, Ned
Wayburn. 1t is said the girls are not
merely prettily dressed in a half
of bewilderingly varied costumes, but
they are girls hat are good to look ut.
With bright. catchy music they fiutter
onto the stage every little while in
fresh glory and dance to the breeziest
of catchy tunes. There is but one
pause in 1.-The Ham Tree" and that is
when for a moment Alexandra and
Henry sit down On the old trunk, too
detected even to rag each other, and
Alexandra bitterly reproaches Henry
for Turing him from a happy livery
stable job. at this point the comedians
are compelled TO wait as the audience
is simply rocking with laughter.
Throughout the three acts there is
constantly something fresh happen
ing. and to the last audience the audi.
ence is carried on a high tide Of joyous
hilarity.

subjects concerning the child's con-
duct, inclinations. disposition, health,
that are OF vital interest to the father,
and to which he can often bring a
new point of view which the mother
welcomes. / do not say that the
father is a better parent, but 1 do
say that there is no reason why he
should not make quite as good a par
ent. If the woman will only not shut
him out of this field.
DR.. Vile smiled, and l thought of
the pathetic average father of the
child, who knew nothing about his
child except when he vas naughty
and it a the painful duty OF the
father to punish him. He knew that
the child went to school, and passed
his examinations well or i'll, in which
case he must be made to realize the
importance of doing his work with
manly application. But when it came
to constructive training the father
bashfully and uncomfortably with
drew from the field. The average
fathers parental task is prohibitory,
and occasionally mandatory in a neg
alive sense 1t is seldom construc-
tive" DR.. Vile observed in this
connection.

There are beautiful wrists and
graceful wrists. Sometimes the two
are found together-more often. not.
A beautiful wrist is one that is we'll

1t is n in which the fingers are

the mounds and lines of the hand

TRAINING FATHER.
(By Doris E. Fleischman.)

(By Doris E. F~leischmRn.)
The world 10 full OF h~alf-orphans.
The child 10 reared by maternal in
stinct. it thrives on maternal love, it
is taught by maternal mentality. The
only phase of paternal training with
which It in contact is that cur
tous thing called paternal authority.
Let US therefore," adds DR.. ira ..
Vile, in conclusion to the foregoing
observations, stop talking about
things maternal. The child has par
ents. The maternal conscience has
been awakened. Let US now stir the
parental consciousness"
Evidently nan has been 80 busy
defining woman's place as the home
that he has overlooked the sallent
fact, that he, too, has a definite duty
to perform there. Why" asks DR..
Vile, "has man left the entire up
bringing Of the future race to wom-
an? 1t Is not only mans right. 1t Is
also his duty and privilege to have
a hand in the government of his
child"
Instinct a Trouble Maker.
And all this in response to my
query as to the status of h average
woman as a proper guardian for her
child. She does not know enough
about the care of a baby. She leaves
It to instinct. n instinct will lever
do anything but get her into trouble.
She should be taught wifehood and
motherhood in her schools and col
leges. But SO should the nan. Will
you tell me, please, what training
the average man has to be a parent?
VIII you tell me, please, to what his
paternal instinct is going to lead
him?" But woman. by his own words,
has done altogether too much thinking
for man, SO I remembered DR.. Vile
that he would have to prove his case
himself, and his opening essay what
that man a been cheated for ages
OF the inalienable right OF p%arenthood.
And DR.. Vile plans an instruction.
Let the mans training for father
hood, or, rather, parenthood, start
during his school a Lei him
learn there, first of all, hat his &C
tons will have a direct bearing upon
his children. Then he says. as he
goes on, study carefully the subjects
of hygiene, child psychology, education
and the various other branches of our

foundation upon which to base his
further observation and studies as to
the practical application an adapta-
ton of the theories which he has for
mulated."
Why Not Fathers Meetings.
But the fathers education naturally
will not end when he assumes the
duties of parenthood. asserts Dr.. VILE.
Mothers meeting?" he asked in deli
cate satire; why not fathers meet
ing? And why not parents meetings?
You know, fathers really love their
children. They do. They are very
anxious. too. that their children should
have the best possible start for their
own life work. And yet they have
been deluded and cajoled into belIev-
ing that they were merely men. and
therefore could not understand the
child.

the other. Here are a few rules:
Never forget that you have a wrist.
Do mo- do as most women do-ignore
its existence, and bend the arm only
at the elbow n at the fingers. Bear
in mind that you have another joint
at the wrist.
When you lift the hand, do not do
it with the fingers pointed stiffy up
ard from the time you raise It.
Let the fingers droop until the hand
IS about halfway up, then gradually,
working always from the wrist. let
the hand turn in the opposite way.
Do not keep the fingers stiff. Let
them droop gracefully. Do not do
this consciously. 1t will seem stiff ut
first. but a little persistence before a
mirror will reward o
Remember that there are eight
bones in the wrist, and use them all in
moving it.

Actors Who "Hog" Scenes.

In the July American Magazine Kath-
crime Grey writes a remarkable article
entitled Picking Up Stage Wisdom" 10
is full of interesting stories of personal
experiences which Miss Grey has had
with famous people of the stage. Miss
Grey has been leading woman to more
stars than any other three actresses in
America combined. In the following ex-
tract taken from her article she tells
about the fairness of Nat Goodwin, and
comments on actors who try TO "hog"
scenes in which others appear with themi
Goodwin is natural born actor
absolutely child of the theatre. Ace-
ing was the one thing for which he~was
created. He was one of the fsirest men
ever acted with. There was nothing in
that scene that belonged to you that
he did not give you. lie was so good an
actor that he wanted everybody 90 get
out of a scene all there was in il no

particularly he did this with mo IN q

Nat Goodwin's fsirnsss stands outdl

practice Of 'hogging' scene, which IL OBJ

NEW TRANSCONTI-
MENTAL GUIDE BOOK
United States Geological Survey Issue:
illustrated Books of Information
on Varied Subjects.

The United States geological survey
has just issued a guidebook describing
the overland route from Missouri river
TO the Pacific coast, and every traveller
may now enjoy the luxury of being "per.
sonally conducted" without any other
expense than the dollar he must send
TO the superintendent of documents at
Washington, D. c., TO obtain a copy. It
is Secretary Lanes desire that the trans.
continental Journal, by whatever route,
shall afford the traveller an intima 5e &C.
quaintance with the country through
which he passes, and this volume, there
fore, is the first of four which will APP
pear in rapid success. The next TO come,
that covering the northern Pacific route,
so closely identified with the Lewis and
Clark expedition of ls03.lsO6, will be
published in a few days; and those de-
seribing the Santa Fe route and the
Shasta and coast route will follow soon
The value OF these guides TO travellers
interested in their country can not be
measured. The route is followed from
station 70 station, and the country along
the way described and explained from
many points of view. Human history,
geologic history, agricultural and mining
yalues-everything, in short, that ran
make a oar.window landscape vital and
succinctly and rapidly
sketched. The long stretches Of prairie
country and endless miles Of desert, oft
en- so dreary TO the uniformed traveller, |
are made 10 teen with human interest |
and scientific information.
One region may afford a livelihood for
only a pastoral people; another may be
"a pable Of intensive agriculture; still an
other may contain hidden sources of min
sral wealth which may attract large in /

y these varied resources afford the prom

TOaTEST IDEAS
IN NAVY PLANT
Daniels '0bject in Asking Edison's Aid
WASTE Build Laboratory for
Promotion of Inven-
tionS,

Washington, July l5.-On high author
ity in the navy department yesterday it
was declared that the great object of
Secretary Daniels in asking Thomas A.
Edison and other inventive geniuses to
serve as an advisory council in giving
ideas TO the navy was TO build up a
great laboratory in connection with the
navy department in which ideas can be
tested arad applied and inventions can be
promoted for government use.
Such a laboratory is now sadly lack
ing. Ii is needed in the army as well
as in the navy 1t is possible that a
single laboratory or plant will grow out
of the present movement, which will be
for the benefit and use OF both depart
ments.
On the other hand. some of the ablest
officers think that the navy department
should have great testing and invention
plant of its own and that the war de-
partment also needs such laboratory.
Such a plant would be used to try out
new devices of all sorts, new types of
aeros, new types of ordnance and MUM
tions and everything which would tend
to make more effective the engineering
phase of war.
1t is not unlikely that Secretary Dan
els will ask Congress at the next session
TO appropriate such a laboratory.
