OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
ROADS TO SOMEWHERE

A New and Interesting Series
By GRACE DARLING

Copyright, 1915, International News
Service.
OF course, the road to somewhere
that ever normal girl expects to travel
leads to matrimony.
This being the case. isn't 1t queer
that so few girls ever take the trouble
to prepare themselves for the profess
sion they expect to follow? A girl
doesn't expect to get a good place as
a stenographer unless she's qualified
herself to hold her Position.
She wouldn't dream of becoming a
lawyer. or a doctor. unless she'd
studied law or medicine. She would
know that before she could become a
full-fledged actress or opera singer
she would have TO give to its years
OF patient labor and training.
But any little fluffy-headed girl
thinks that all she needs to turn her
into model wife is a trousseau and
a wedding ring, ana to have a few
words said over her py a minister. She
never thinks of such a thing as pre-
pairing herself for not only the biggest
and most important career that any
woman can ever aspire to, but the one
that calls for the most knowledge and
talent.
For a woman who does her duty
as wife has to be a diplomat and
hnancier and a com missary-gen
and fascinator and a social secre-
tary and a chef and a trained nurse
and dressmaker and a purchasing
agent all rolled into one.
And that's a big order for any
woman to I'LL. 1t requires such
lightning change artist that I often
wonder that any girl ever has the
nerve TO tackle the contract.
WHAI TO DO
Now. I'll tell you what think the
glrl should do who is setting out on
the road that leads to matrirnony. In
the first place, she should make up her
mind to be satisfied with the kind of
home that she deliberately picks
out at the end of the road.

Example of Preparedness
Shown by Firestone Co.

In a recent talk, Mr.. Edison brought
forward the idea that America. that is
supposed to be unprepared for such
trials as the great nations of Europe
nave been passing throuSh. is really
pretty well prepared in the growth and
increasing efficiency of its factories.
There is point in this. At the pres
ent moment the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company having done a busi-
ness OF over $4,000. 900 during its last
fiscal year, is announcing an increase
in volume of IS per cent. in its sales
this year over those of last, according
to the June ! figures.
a Firestone official, in talking of this
matter recently, said: The best thing
about our organization is its wonderful
expansive powers. For years Mr.. Fire
stone has been building with this in
view.
He has strong men at every impor-
tant point from top to bottom of the
organization. When expansion comes
we are ready for it. The units of the
organization are fitted in and the SER
vice to the user goes on unimpaired in
the face of any demand made OF us.
In thinking of the matter one can
not help hoping that if the time ever
comes when we need our industries to
prevent the destruction of our national
life, many industries will be found or
ganized as the F'irestone is now organ
ICED.
In fact, on this very point our whole
future as a country may some day
hinge"

was continually berating it for not be-
ing a $5,000-a-year Riverside Drive
apartment.
Yet that's what the girls does who
marries a poor man and who is al
ways complaining because she can't
have limousines and pearl necklaces
and Paris clothes. I think that the
meanest and the cruelest thing that
any woman ever does is when she
nags and frets at her husband, who
is working himself 10 death to sup
port her, because ne doesn't make
more money.
Then I think that the girl who is
setting out on the domestic road
should make just as much of an ef-
fort to get along with her husband as
those of us who work for our bread
and butter do to set along with our
employers. Honestly, when I see the
average husband and wife together I
am filled with amazement at observ-
ing the risk that the wife takes with
her position. Why. she would lose it
in about three minutes If she could
be fired without the aid of the divorce
court and scandal!
Those OF us who have good situ-
ations that we don't want to lose bite
our tongues of before we answer back
when our employers scold US. We
smile sweetly when superior officers
crouch, and we never, never feel called
on to remind our employers of their
little faults and weaknesses. Just try
the same tactics with friend husband
when you get him. girls. and you will
find that it leads to the castle OF Do
mestic Bliss.
And surely the girl who is going
to travel the road that leads to the
altar should prepare herself before
hand with an expert knowledge Of
how to cook and keep house. That's
the womans end of matrimony, and
if you will notice, girls, you will OBJ
serve that the road that is bordered
with home comforts never leads to
the divorce court.

INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS

To all accounts, the Indian Runner
Duck was product OF India. At any
rate the first of these to reach Eng
land were brought by a ships captain
from that country. They derive their
name partly from India and partly
from their gait. Runners are very
active and carry themselves more up
right than other ducks. From this
latter popularity they were first term
ed Penguin" ducks. They were not
popular at first; in fact, it was not
until 1896 that their neavy laying pos
sibilities brought them publicity.
Their fame then spread to America.
IN the meantime the original color,
fawn and white, ha6 peen maintained,
but the market duck men of Eng
land made crosses on this variety with
the Rouen in order to increase its size,
as 1t weighs from 1 to Az pounds.
The result was a conflict among

There is nothing more acceptable or
welcome than judiciously applied SYM
pathy; but the mother who lavishes
continued and extravagant pity upon
her children is really doing them an
irreparable wrong.
II we use the muscles of our
souls we grow morally stronger.
just as the exercise OF our bodies
strengthens US physically. Lads who
from childhood have been saddled
with a proportionate part OF the fam
lily burden put upon their shoulders
make better men and find the hard
ships of after-life more easy to bear,
while those who have had all trou-
bles lifted from their shoulders by
over-indulgent parents find every
wind hurricane.
There, there, darling, Let mother
kiss it better, poor little chap"
says the foolish mother to her tiny
boy should he injure himself the
tintest bit. AS he grows older her
heart aches because he has to face
school in the cold mornings, and she
expresses grief at this terrible hard
ship, and possibly she waits on the
doorstep for his return to help him
on with his things and set him by
a warm fire.

Then, when he is ready for an
Office stool, he comes to her with
every little grievance about his

he knows she will listen and COM

he himself become a manager or

his business will not allow him to
have a motor car or some other ex-
travagance. So, instead of becom-

with the terrible and incurable dis
ease, self pity"
I know not one, but at least a
humble parents, and have been
given good educations and placed
in higher sphere of work. They
all permit their aged mothers to
wait on them, and some of them
actually boast that they have cof-
fee brought to them in the early
mornings when they are awakened.
How sorry such men will be for
themselves when they face the hard
ships of training, and how much
worse 1t will seem than It would
had they been made to rough it a
bit more. 1t is just as necessary for
children to be trained to meet the
blows Of after-life as it is for them
to have proper food and clothing.
The Happiest Children
There is an old lady to-day who
has passed through a life of most
object poverty. Not because she has
been overburdened win troubles
but because from childhood onward
those with whom she has come in
contact have lavished unbounded
sympathy upon her. Her husband
was the last TO pity her if she had
to do the ordinary duties Of a nor
mally healthy woman. Then years
ago he died, and for all that long
time she has been left with only
herself to be sorry for herself, and
so her face is lined and marked
with discomfort, and she looks older
than her years.
1t is the mother who demands the
most of her children who gets the
most from them, and such children
certainly grow up healthier and
happier than those who have been
taught by percept that they are to
have the best of everything and
endless pity when the least trouble
comes their way.

breeders to determine what was the
standard color for the Indian Run
ner, some contending for solid (not
penciled) fawn and white, and some
for the darker coloring, which was
always penciled.
OF late a compromise has been ef-
fected whereby two distinct varieties
are recognized - the fawn and the
white and the so-called English Pen
ciled Indian Runner.
They are good foragers. heavy lay
ers. and rapid growers. For the farm
er they are making great strides, and
are the only real competitors of the
popular Pekin Duck. The Indian Run
ner will outlay the latter in total eggs
per year and is also a strong winter
layer when duck eggs bring the best
prices. They are credited with aver
aging from $50 to 100 eggs per year
