The Trump Card at Home Is
The Inestimable Privilege 1t
Gives of Being Oneself
By DOLLY DALRYmPLr

Ut is a poor type of man or woman
who is not most interesting in his or
- her own environment-that is, If the
environment is one that permits expan-
sons of personality.
What gives a home the supreme ele-
ment of joy is not it's elegance, nor it's
beauty, nor even it's comfort, for unfor-
tunately many homes lack comforts OBJ
tanned in other places.
The trump card of the home is the ines
Unable privilege it gives of being one
self-of rioting freedom of speech, of ex-
ercising personality along natural lines.
That home is most pleasant to visit
where guests feel at liberty to be as COM
pletely themselves as the courteous re-
straints of good breeding allow, and that
host or hostess is most successful who
can call out instead of suppressing the
individual characteristics of those about
bers of their own household into laying
aside the veil of reticence and become
a living, pulsing. personality, instead Of
a colorless individuality.
Nobody should be suppressed in the
home, least of all children should not be
restrained. Otter child's eager, enthusi-
astic recital Of the days events bores the
"grown-ups' and the child is told not to
talk so much; the poor little thing is
"squelched," subdued, and the next time
he has anything to say, he doesn't say it,
and thus takes a. back seat in his own
home, where he should be the whole
show.
Nobody can talk enthusiastically or
freely, unless they have sympathetic lis
teners, and there should be cultivated in
every household spirit of appreciation
for other peoples interests and affairs
L know one household in Birmingham
that visit within it's gates is like "a
weekend trip to heaven" such sweet
ness between parents and children; such
tenderness between father and mother
such kindness and hospitality toward
every visitor within the gates makes it
as near perfect as any home could be-
sort of little earthly paradise, where
everybody loves everybody else and
everybody is given a chance to talk about
their own affairs and find an apprecative
audience.
Sometimes we wonder why it is so easy
to confide in some people. and why it is so
difficult to speak a personal word to
others.

There are number of important
criminal cases on the docket, set for

them being the following: Luther Har-

the murder of Bud Owens near Lamb S

charged with the murder of Ed Adams

dition at his home here with but little

| Of two negro babies by Southern
railway train, resulted in a mistrial in

brought against the railroad company
for $4,000 damages.
The suit was brought by a negro
named Reynolds. The negro babies were

ty law and equity court contains 76

The answer to such a problem IS very
simple. 1t is very natural to tell things
to people who appear interested in what
you are saying, while it is very unnat-
ural to be personal with people who shut
UP like an oyster or freeze up like an
Alaskan river in the dead of winter and
show no appreciation or interest in what
you are saying.
Conversation need not be personal to
be interesting; in fact, the wider the
range of conversation the more enter
tanning the talk.
AS a notable writer once phrased It,
''the family was pleasantly quarrelsome, -
by which he probably meant that the
household was given to spirited argu-
ment and free debate, without a. trace Of
unkindness or i'll temper.
Democracy Is the ideal for nation, state
or city, and democracy should be the
ideal of family life; not lack of official
head or firm government, but the coop
erative spirit instead of submission or re-
bellious silence and service-in short
home rule, with individual representa-.
ton!

SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
AFTER LONG BATTLE,

The long drawn-out battle between
Atlantic County and the Atlantic and
Suburban Railway Company was ad-
iusted this week, when an agreement
was entered into whereby the trolley
line is to place $4,000 worth of bonds
in the Cambridge Trust Company and
draw Ur IN this account for carrying
of tie Shore Road repairs according
to the plans and specifications upon
which an amicable settlement had al
so been reached.
Under the provisions of a resolution
passed by the Freeholders, the trolley
company will have the privilege of
drawing out $4,000 working capital
from the $4,000 and then draw an
additional $1,000 from time to time
until the fund is exhausted.
Before this $4,000 installment can
be taken out, however, the expendi-
lures of the previous $1,000 must be
checked up, itemized and approved by
the County Engineer and the Free
holders
