THE WALLS MUFFLE KISSES.
Soundproof Devices Provided for
SpOOning Parlors.

No longer shall the girls Of DebDs
Ferry blush at the dinner table when
small brothers glance significantly at
them and let drop naive remarks
about the porch hammock being such
a lovely spot-after dark. No longer
shall these same small brothers levy
a revenue of sod las upon their Sis
ters' callers in return for promises
not to hide behind the parlor piano.
Emancipation from the tyranny of
peeping eyes and bantering tongues
has come in the form of rendezvous
opened by the Welfare association of
Dobbs Ferry, at Main and Cedar
streets.
In daylight the new public club
house opened by the association is an
ordinary cottage, but at night it's
rooms become number of spooning
parlors. Dim lights, dark corners,
soundproof walls that give out no
telltale echoes and, above all, free
dom from small brothers have made
of this cottage a small corner of the
Garden of Paradise.
Miss Ruth Underhill, who is to
supervise the discussions about the
weather which will be carried on in
the club house, has been busy during
the week issuing verbal invitations
to young people whom she thought
might like to visit it, with the re-
suit that the various rooms were
crowded-in spots.-Dobbs Ferry, N.

INTERESTING PREDICTION.
Concerning the Homes of the Flu.
ture.

l conceive the future homes of the
people as separate communities, say
blocks of a hundred flats or perhaps
more, standing in a common garden
which will be kept up by the estate
writes w. L. George, in Harper's fol
June. Each fiat will probably have
one room for each inhabitant, so as
to secure the privacy which is very
necessary even to those who no long
er believe in the home idea; it will
also have a common room where
privacy can be dispensed with. Its
furniture will be partly personal, but
not very, for movement which Is
developing in America will extend
and we, too, in England may be pro-
vided,. as are today. the more fortu.
nate Americans, with an abundance
of cupboards and dressers ready fixed
to the walls. There will be no coal
but only electricity and gas, run from
the central plant. There will be no
kitchens, but one central kitchen,
and a central dining room, run-and
this is very importantly commit
tee of tenants.
That committee will appoint and
control cooks and all servants; 1t
will buy all provisions, and it will
buy them cheaply, for it will pur-
chase by the hundredweight. It will
control the central laundry, and a
paid laundrymaid will check the lists
there will no longer be, as once
upon time on Saturday evenings, a
hundred persons checking a hundred
lists. It is even quite possible that
the central organization may darn
socks. The servants will no longer
be slaves, personally attached to a
few persons, their chattels; they will
be day-workers, laboring eight hours,
without any master save their duty.
The whole system of the householder
will be grouped for the purpose OF
buying and distributing everything
that is needed at any hour. There
will be no more personal shopping;
the wholesale cleaner will call on
certain days without being told to;
the communistic window-cleaners
will dispose of every window on a
given day; there may even be in the
garden a communistic system of dog
kennels. I have no proposal for con-
trolling cats, for I understand that
no man can do that but then
there will be no mice in those days.

Willing to Please.

A certain college president wore
side whiskers. Whenever he sug-
gested removing them, there was a
division of opinion in the family.
One morning he entered his wife s
dressing room, razor in hand, with
his right cheek shaved smooth.
''How do you like it, my dear?" he
asked. "If you think it looks we'll, I
will shave the other side, too."

HAVE WASTED PUBLIC FUNDS
extravaeanee Of Democratic Party
Bound to Be One Of the
Great Issues

commenting on Mr.. Hughes New
York speech, Senator Borah said IL
was comprehensive and well-consid-
cred utterahce, and he added: But,
after all, the real issues of the CAM
palsn have not yet appeared. When
the extravaganza of this adminstra-
1on Is known to the voters Ii will be
OF tremendous interest to them" There
Is, or course, no doubt that the extray-
agance of the Wilson administration
Will be one of the important issues of
the campaign. While the record speaks
for itself, it is evident that the Idaho
senator believes the voters have much
to learn about the waste of public
FUNDS since the Democrats came into
power. There is promise of enlight-
eminent in what he said the other day
and when he discusses this issue his
speeches will command attention In all
parts of the country.
There were reasons why This admin
istration should have made a special
effort to protect the treasury from the
raids of the pork hunters. One was
that the Democratic platform charged
the Republicans with waste and prom
ised economy in appropriations. The
majority in congress paid no attention
to this pledge, though warned by some
of Its own members that the party in
control invited defeat when II es-
tablished a new record of extrava-
gance.
Mr.. Borah will find plenty of ma
terfal when he prepares his speeches
on the issue which appeals to him as
one of the most important in the cam
paign. Not even Mr.. Wilson, with all
his skill as a debater, will be able to
defend the record made under his ad-
mfnistration at time when the i'm
portance of saving money needed for
defense was apparent. - Rochester

ROPE FOR THE KICKING cow
System Described In Which Milk Stool
Is EIiminated-Much Better
Than Being Kicked.

Tie the COW about the neck with
a rope in n bowline knot. Tie the
other end of the rope to the manger
or post leaving about IS to 20 inches
of rope from the COW to the post.
Next place the pail on the ground near
the cow, but ut a distance great enough
to keep her from kicking it. Put your
head against the COW just about the
flank (there being no stool in this
system). If she starts to kick the
contraction of the muscles under your
head warns you and you must start
to push against her with all your
might. If you start soon enough she
will not kick as the shove you give her
with your head causes her to think she
will lose her balance and she keeps her
feet on the ground to prevent falling.
In the event of her succeeding in
getting one foot raised. be sure to keep
a good hold on her teats and don't
stop pushing against her. In a few
lessons the COW learns that it is not
safe to raise her feet and you can Just
place your head as stated and lean
against her. OF course, this is very
tiresome at first but it is much better
than being kicked and after You get
the "knack" of the thing you will put
the milk-stool in the junk heap.

PEOPLE TO RENDER VERDICT
Condemnation Of Democratic Party at
the Polls May Be Looked for
With Confidence
Post-Expres:

In the matter of domestic policies,
history, now inscrutable, may discover
some reason in the administration
effort to turn the Philippines adrift
amid the war-churned currents of the
world. 1t may find some support for
the Democratic contention that the
Republican party In its domestic posi-
tons Is unprogressive. But con:em-
porary opinion will point to the So
called war taxes. the onerous income
tax, the depleted treasury, the blow to
American industries and the failing
off before the war created abnormal
conditions of the nations exports nd
the high cost of living. unreduced and
still soaring. And contemporary opin-
ion will be registered at the polls and
this will be decisive.
Thus the contest now is that of the
contemporary judgment as opposed to
an appeal TO the unknowable verdict
of history. AS Americans do not elect
presidents according to auguries
drawn from the flight of birds and the
like, but according to their estimation
of the needs of the nation and the
men to fill those needs, the Republic
ans may look for success-even omit.
