PATRIOTIC PROGRAM AT "GYM'

The patriotic entertainment given
at the gym" last night by the pupils
of the upper grades in the high
school building attracted an audience
that numbered fully $50 persons.
Fifty children in costume rendered
the operetta "The Smuggler Man. in
a manner that would have been a
credit to professionals. "The Living
Flag" an exceedingly beautiful drill,
ike the operetta, brought forth a de
luge of applause. Both features of
the program were of unusual merit
and no end of credit is due to the pu-
pills and teachers, who labored so un-
tiringly for the success Of the enter
tainment and also to the parents Ayho
gave them their hearty cooperation.

A SAN FRANCISCO JUDGES
RULES FOR KISSING.
BY Thomas f. Graham

BN lnOnlas T. 1fall.tln.
l. The husband who kisses his
wife plentitully keeps out Of the de
Yurce court.
band sparingly does not cheaper the
product
B. The thoroughly kissed @ife will
make any sacrifice for the man she
married.
T. Two kisses a day, husbands, ono
"goodby" and the other "hello" will
not do.
s. When you kiss your wife, you're
saying 81 love you.' That's what she
wants.
Following is Judge Graham's own
statement Of why and how plentiful
supply of hubby's kisses will keep
the family out of the divorce court.
Judge Graham has practiced his
preachment so effectively in his court
work that he has come to be nation
ally known as "The Great Reconcil-
err Thousands Of unhappy homes
made happy by his kiss recipe are
to his credit.
When YOUR wife and you fall out,
Don't strut about and shout,
Don't growl at her, or seowl at her,
or kick her.
You will find it doesn't pay;
Try your luck another way;
Just take her in your arms and
gently kiss her.
When your wife and you must fight
Make her think she's in the right;
Don't rush Off to your club where
you viii miss her;
Should a fight with wifcy start
You viii play the big mans pnrt
II you take her IN your arms and
gently kiss her.
The kiss Of a husband is a pledge
Of his love for his wife.
] have advised men TO kiss Their
| wives. ] have not advised wives to
| kiss their husbands. The kiss that a
| wife gives to her husband does not
| mean as much to the husband as the
kiss that a husband gives to his wife.
! To husband a kiss is only kiss.
I Man only wants to be loved; he isn't
particular about being pcrpetually
told that he is being loved.
| To wife kiss is more than the
mere meeting of lips. A woman isn't
content with being loved. She wants
to be continually told that she is be-
| ing loved.
A husband is'telling and rctelling
| his wife of his love every time he
kisses her. a woman is happy every
time she is given reaffirmaton Of
her husbands love with kiss. A
woman who is conscious of her hus-
| bands love will make all necessary
sacrifices for her husband, will bear
every trial willingly, will strive to
avoid every quarrel. A woman is
conscious Of her husbands love only
when her husband kisses her fire.
quently.
To many wives a kiss only means
good by" To others it is only the
equivalent of "hello.' But the kisses
that are given when the husband is
not either going or coming mean
much more. They are expressions Of
love, expressions for which every wife

the kiss Of pure man for pure
woman. | care not whether IL be
planted on the forehead. the cheek or
the lips the kiss OF husband to
his wife is the re-pledge, the re-af-
firmation Of his love. If more hus-
bands would kiss their wives more
frequently the judges who have to
try divorce cases wouldn't he so far

vorce lawyers would starve to death.
