HOW THE CHAPLIN
 WALK ORIGINATED

/ Tn the April Woman's Home Com panion Charlie Chaplin tells how his famous walk originated.
 'I used to live in the vicinity of the old Queens Head in Lambeth. Lon don had been my stamping-ground since I was a baby" he informs us.
 "The Queens Head was a 'pub.' There was a cab stand near by and an old character they called 'Rummy' Binks was one of the landmarks. He had a bulbous nose, a crippled, rheu- matic body, swollen and distorted pair of feet, and the most extraordin- ary pair of trousers I ever saw. He must have got them from giant, and he was little man
 "When I saw Rummy shuffle his way across the pavement to hold a cabman's horse for a penny tip, was fascinated. The walk was so fun ny to me that I initiated it. When I showed my mother how Rummy walked, she begged me to stop because it was cruel to initiate a misfortune like that. But while she pleaded she had her apron stuffed in her mouth Then she went into the pantry and and giggled for ten minutes.
 Day after day I cultivated that walk. It became. an obsession. Whenever I pulled it, was sure of a laugh. Now, no matter what else may do that is amusing, can never get away from the walk.
 Mot long ago I went on in a New York theatre to say a few words. was in orthodox evening dress. The Hn1 tongue-tied. So was I. I began to get uncomfortable. The occasion was too solemn for words. I quit talking and seizing an inspiration I shuffled off the stage with my Rummy walk. The roar that broke loose in that house amazed me. l had to shuffle back and then shuff1e off again. Then I had to shuffle on again and talk, and every word I said drew a roar of laughter simply because of the shuf- fle.'

THE RED CROSS.

The American Red Cross, that great Humanitarian organization which now looms so large in it's importance,i is largely the creation of a woman, Clara Barton, who devoted the most fruitful years of her life to the up- building of this work of mercy. It win be four years tomorrow since she died in Washington, leaving be- hind her as a monument an organiza- ton which has carried succor and re- lief to the suffering of all lands. A native of Massachusetts, in her girl hood she was a teacher in New Jer- sey, and then became a clerk in the patent office at Washington. When the civil war broke out sine voluntar- fly undertook the task of searching for missing soldiers, and caring for the wounded in the field and in hos pitfalls. In the Franco-Prussian war she took part ir international Red Gross work in Paris, and upon her re- turn began agitating the formation of an American Red Cross. In 1882 che induced the United States govern rnent to adopt the Geneva treaty, and became the first president of the American Red Cross.

WHEN CORN IS
 FROST-PR0OF

In this age of wonderful achieve ments, frost-proof corn is among the possibilities of attainment. When a corn is bred that will withstand spring and fall frosts and grow at low temperatures. like rye, the reign and territory of King Corn will be extend ed and his powers increased.
 Recent work of the Office of Corn Investigations, Bureau of Plant Indus try, U. s. Department of Agriculture indicates the possibility of producing varieties of frost-proof corn and va r1etles that will continue growth at low temperatures. Some kinds of corn have been found to withstand freez- ing, both in the spring and in the fall, and afterwards continue to grow Still more encouraging is the fact that some individual plants of these hardy va rlet1es are more enduring than other plants of the same variety
 At the first signs of spring, with patches of snow still on the ground seed of these varieties has been plant ed and has shown ability to with stand frozen ground and spring frosts and ultimately to- yield well. Planted in February, 1917, plants which were several inches high withstood a freeze of March 5, which froze the ground to a depth of two inches.
 Of still more importance than the possibility of producing frost-proof corn is the possibility of producing va rieties of corn that will continue to thrve and produce grain at lower tenn peratures than existing varieties There is much territory with long frost-free periods, where, during nights or for several weeks Curing the growing sea- son temperatures remain too low for ordinary varieties of corn to grow.

There are women who will stand TOT being habitual beggars; there are oth- CTS who will not. A good woman takes into consideration her husband s income when she makes her demands. That is the kind of woman who has a little nest-egg laid by, to tide him over in time of need. If a man cant trust a woman with his money, he shouldn't trust her with his love. Both should be of one mind regarding money matters. The woman who in desperation resorts to rihing her hus- bands pockets must be down-hearted
 and lost to the realization of what she is doing

TWO TRYING TO
 REAIN LOVE OF OTHER

x l.. P. A. s. writes: 'I live Ill dls- tant state. I am 17. Please tell the way I can regain the love of a youth of 20. He is considered good-Iook1ng. He's not caring for any girl Who might be a rival to me. Talking, ne only speaks of his trouble in finding sweetheart and merely chats With me as a friend. He never asks if it's pos sIble for our love to be renewed. l wish he would. May regain his love without intruding or having his dis respect? He is the only boy ever loved"
 The only way to succeed in regain ing love, is for him to seek your love renewal This he is very apt to try for, if you do not persist in being too anxious, and putting yourself in his way.

WIVES WHO EXPLORE
 HUSBANDS POCKETS

When people once are in the wrong
 Each line they add is much too long.
 Who fastest walks, but walks astray
 Is only furthest from his way.
 Well. well! What will husbands think of this? A New York judge has actually decided, in case brought be- fore him, that @ wife has a right to forage through her husbands pockets. if her husband refuses to give her on
 his pay day, the amount of his wages which should be hers of necessity to run the home The. wife in question believed herself compelled to make nightly raids upon her husband pocket. To stop the pilfering hubby resorted not only to sew up his pock- ets but triumphantly to wear his trousers to bed, thus making assur- ance douibly sure that his money should not be touched. He had not counted on the resourcefulness of wo- men. His wife felt she was obliged to take him to court, and triulnphantly carried off the above decision.
 New York hubbies with the same grievance are sitting up and taking notice. The question is, has a wife a moral right to resort to such an un- dignifed means of obtaining money which should have been handed her joyously? Here again, we /stumble over the rock that the withholding of money has more to do with family squabbles than has anything else. There are some women who become haIbitual' beggars in the home, by weekly pleading for money. Before marriage they little dreamed they'd have to squa:bble in this fashion with the man who came a-courting so gal lantly.
 This habit of begging is gall and wormwood to a sensitive person. Ere the knot is tied a woman should try to come to an understanding as to money matters. If there's any squab- bling to be done, that's the time to settle it. If a man who has to work for his dollars has a spendthrift of q wife, it behooves him to cajole her into keeping account of expenditures. and looking over them with all anx- ious eye. On the other hand, if he has a good thrifty wife, more eager to save than he is, he should allow her to be the judge as to how much of his pay envelope she requires. In fact, if he urges her to do the finan- cling of the entire amount, he would show the best of judgment.
 { No woman can count down to a cent how much Aer expenses are to be. The cost of butter, meat and other provender may vary from week to week. If she is held down to a cer- tain amount, there is sure to be some household need that she must go with out, even though she does not tell her husband of the sacrifice. Even the most patient of wives will grow weary of continually making sacri- fees, if they are not appreciated. The wife who saves a dollar a week, by going without everything except a glass of butte1unifk at lunch time, will have every reason to grow sour if she
 finds out her husband makes a good fellow of himself by treating a crowd at a saloon every Saturday night.
 It's one thing to gain a good wo- mans love. It's quite another to keep
