When Should She Swear?

For the first time, we are grieved to
feel bit unsatisfed by one of the very
interesting articles on domestic and So
ciaI problems furnished by that delightful
writer, Winona Wilcox.

the country is so largely devoted to min

problem as to when a lady should cuss

An my ancestors have left me some
thing. Not money or goods. but deeper
potencies. What / call my character or
nature Is made up of infinite particles
~ Inherited tendencies from those whose
blood runs in my veins A little seed Of
lazInesS from this grandfather and of
pfodigality from that. Some remote
grandmother, perhaps, has stamped me
with fear of horses or a love OF dogs.
There may be in me a bit of outlawry
from some forefather who was a pirate,
and a dash of plety from one who was
saint.
So everything in me passes on thru my
children and hecks my children's children
with "a spot OF strength or weakness.

Religion is not a personal affair so
much as II is a communal. You are Jew
because you were born a jew; for the
same reason you are a Catholic. you a
Presbyterian, you Mohametan, you a
Buddhist, you a Mormon. AS We enter
life we find these cells already made in
the human beehive and crawl into them.
The young lover imagines no one else
ever felt his pangs and ecstasies; yet
nature is but repeating in him the emo

the phrases of the Lords Prayer have
been traced TO Talmudic sources.
"The dewdrop slips into the shining

Let Us, therefore, put way the coarse
egotisms and the partisan passions that
nfest rs, and learn to love humanity, to
think and feel in terms OF humanity.

Harold Wilcox, Times
Correspondent, Does the
Soldiers a Real Service

Just now a multitude Of persons are
interesting themselves IT the welfare tf
the new soldier.
Legions Of good people an over the land
are taking it upon themselves to see that
he shall want for nothing in the way Of
physical comfort.
Other earnest souls, equally numerous
are charging tbemselge with the safe
guarding Of his morals
In addition to tie r. NJ A., whose
wonderful work for the Too well
known TO need elaboration 1ere. there
are literally thousands Of individuals end
organization who want To do something
for the poor soldier
Well intentioned and praiseworthy as
are these efforts, the very multiplicity OF
advice. exhortation and effort on his be-
half is bound to create confusion in The
mind of the drafted man who is trying
inteligently to prepare himself for sol
diers career.
On all sides he hears warnings against
the pitfalls which viii beset his path the
moment he dons Uncle Sans uniform.
He is the recipient Of innumerable lee
lures from widely varying sources, all
intended to impress upon his mind the
solemn obligation laid upon him as de-
fender of the liberties Of 100000
people.
Small wonder if the drafted man after
attempting to digest these voluminous
and often conflicting precepts looks for
ward with misgiving 70 his soJourn IN
Camp Custer.
One can sympathize with the worried
officer who, when asked by some patriotic
but rather ELUSIVE citizens what they
could do for the poor soldier replied
"For Gods sake, let him aloneF
To the salesman who wants to start
right in his military career, particularly
the man who is suffering from mental
indigestion as the result Of porting over
the columns of miscellaneous advice pre-
pared for his benefit, we recommend Har-
old V. Wilcox's article in The Times OF
recent date.
Mr.. Wilcox has written at Camp Gus
Der since its inception.
From the side lines he has watched
the molding Of raw recruits into efficient
soldiers of Uncle Sans army.
A young man himself, he has prepared
a message for other young men IN terms
which the average young man can under
stand
He has translated the rudiments Of the
profession of arms into the vernacular
of the athletic field.
Boiled down, Mr.. Wilcox's advice to Sc
lects might be expressed in six words:
Be man; play the camel
Moreover Mr.. Wilcox gives a pretty
comprehensive idea of the underlying
rules by which the game should be
played.
The Times is printing Mr.. Wilcox's
message in pamphlet form, and viii dis
tribute it to the new soldiers with its
compliments.
