TRAVEL AS AN EDUCATOR.

 Millions of people never travel. Ris- Ing day after day, they look out upon the same scenes, go through the same daily tasks and tumble into the same bed again at night, DO different than they were the day before.
 Each year thousands are travelling for the first time, not only the wealthy, but the middle class and even the poor est. They are coming to view travel not as an extravaganza, but as the price of comfort, health, experience and knowledge Ocean liners are yer ltable floating hotels, with bathrooms, promenades and conservatories, while trains are the last word in comfort with their thickly upholstered seats and handsomely appointed dining cars with up to the minute service.
 The educational value of travel is be- ginning to have the greatest weight Boys and girls who nave been to the best schools help complete their edu- cation by seeing the world or such parts of 1t as their time end circum- stances will permit The grown up who Is wise realizes the broadening in- fuence of travel and counts each day well spent that brings him new expe- riences in foreign fields. No one can fail to be uplIfted by seeing some of Gods masterpieces or the handiwork of man in picture, sculpture, cathedral and splendid public edifces. Nor is it necessary to leave one's own country. There is plenty to be seen and learned In our home land if We will only go in search of it.-Ksthleen Hills in Les He's.

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED
YOUR RHYTHMIC MATE?
Girl Who Dances Best with You Should
Be Your Wife. Experts Declare.

Have you discovered your rhythmic
mate?
The discovery has just been made that
when a young man finds himself In
rhythm with just one girl and cannot
dance SO well with any other partner.
he has found his rhythmic mate-his
rhythmic affinity.
DR.. Dudley A. Sargent. OF Harvard
University, made the discovery, but
every dancing teacher in Washington
confirms 1t and says he always knew 1t.
when a fellow wants to find the right
girl" said one of the best known teach
ers in Washington, "he should start right
out and hunt up some smooth floor where
there are beautiful ladies and bright
lights and soft music. When he finds one
he can dance with better than all the
others he has the right girl. have
seen it turn out time after time that
these couples married and were always
happy. 1t seems that II your rhythm 10
the same you always get along well
together"
The teacher said that another ad-
vantage of picking out q wife in this
way was that one could tell before hand
IL she was coarse or refined. because q
woman showed her true colors on the
dancing floor.

DEATH RATE MENACE,
CHILD BUREAU SAYS

Approximately one In ten Of all babies
born in the United States die before COM
pleting twelve months of life. This state
ment was made yesterday in a bulletin
OF the Children's Bureau OF the Depart
ment of Labor. pointing out the menace
to the strength of the nation that exists
in the neglect Of the country's babies.
1T was once thought that a high in
fant death rate indicated greater de-
gree of viEor in the survivors. Now It is
agreed that the conditions which destroy
so many Of the youngest lives of the
community must also result in Gripping
and maiming many others and must re-
act unfavorably upon the health of the
entire cOmmunity.r the bulletin declares.

This question has come into the De-

In the crowded sections of New York
the apartment house dwellers frequently
have great luck with their window boxes.
The boxes often rest on iron railings
and can be made quite large.
"A family can easily raise enough let
tuce and several other vegetables In win
dow boxes" said an expert yesterday.
'and the only important thing is to get
good soil. The vegetables in these boxes
get lots of light and air and are easily
watered."
The experts said that peas and onions,
and lots of good vegetables could easily
be raised in these boxes.
