cherished one; but there are a
few penalties combined with its
many joys.
One of these Is the human ten
dency ! have already discussed in
these columns, to vent on the fam
lily the cumulative nervous strain
Of ones working day.
We tell our troubles to our near
est and dearest, and we work our
selves up into a fine state of emo
ton when we do it. Our theory is
that such confidence is a relief
that 1t relaxes the tension of the
day. In practice, however, it fire.
Guently does more harm than
good.
The husband who comes home at
night and pours out the anxietIes
Of the day to a sympathetic wife
is usually prolonging those ankle
ties by just the time he gives to
describing them. When his wife in
her turn-if he gives her a turn
has described the cares of her day,
both husband and wife are more
tired than before, and equally
convinced that they are very badly
used.
In talking to others, about other
subjects, both are conscious Of
mental change and refreshment.
Separated for a few weeks, as in
the summer, they are forced To
talk to their friends of impersonal
and pleasant topics, end to forget,
- q degree at least, the details of
housekeeping, work, and bill-pay-
ing. The benefit to both is obvi-
Gus.
Notwithstanding the comic week
lies, there is no question that GER
tain Summer hus' ads" have a
very lonely time. After their
days work they return to a desc
late house or apartment. For
them-for a few Of them-the
roof gardens, cabarets and night
life Of a big city have no charms.
On the other hand, they can
read without interruption, they
can go to bed early; they can sleep
a good nine hours, and wake up
immensely rested and refreshed.
The Joy of Not Being Looked
After" All the Time.
For a time no one is showing
them the warm human interest

fore, come up only in families
where there are no children.
Here is the husbands side.
he is the business worker and
the money-earner. Admittedly,
the strain of his work is great
Though usually, it is not quite as
great as he claims that it isl.
However, he needs, deserves, and
should have a certain amount Of
care, consideration and coddling
when he is at home.
If his wife has left for the coun-
try, she is obviously not able to
supply these needs. The more ac-
customed he is to them, the more
the poor man suffers without
them.
Here is the wife's side. 1t must
be remembered that the wife is
also a worker, in the field of the
home. II she has ideals Of home
making and tries to realize them,
she can and frequently does fill
her days with domestic effort.
Here's What the Change
Means to Wives and
Husbands.
Her work is not especially in
teresting. Indeed, it often be-
comes very monotonous. In the
summer time, when many Of her
friends are out of town, she lacks
the social diversions that help her
in the winter. She needs a change,
not because she is overworked,
but because a change is good for
every one.
Now here is an important point,
and misunderstanding H. 7. ].
should consider it carefully. At
the risk Of being momentarily
misunderstood, ! submit that the
husband needs a change, too; and
that the change he gets when his
wife leaves him in the summer is
exactly as good for him as it is
for her!
In saying this I am speaking
very sincerely and ignoring the
traditional jokes and songs on the
subject.
Every thinking human being ad-
mits that there is a certain
amount of nervous wear and tear
in family life. Family life is our
greatest institution and our most

EDear Miss Jordan:
"Please Jump on the wives VINO
leave their husbands alone an
summer. And tell me one thing
Have they q moral right to go
H T. J.. Washington"
r oNELINEsS, anywhere, H.
T. j., is one Of the saddest
IL human experiences. And
will admit right now that
loneliness in Washington almost
justifies a gentleman in asking
lady to Jump on" his wife!
For several reasons, however
am not prepared to jump. One Is
that / no longer jump as easily as
I used to. Another is that at all
times / hesitate to pass judgment
on a controversy between a hus-
band and his wife until have
heard both sides Of the matter
under discussion.
Mrs. H. T. ]. may have had a
moral right to leave you and
Washington or she may not. II she
had one, she undoubtedly mem
toned it to you in the conjugal
discussion that preceded her de-
parture. / infer from your note
that she did depart, and that she
is a lady of decision. Also, am
quite sure that you mentioned to
her all your objections 10 her
course, before you let her 90.
So | cannot help you, H. 7. ].
Moral right or no moral right, Mrs.
]. has gone; and l feel sure she
will remain away until she is quite
ready to return. But for the help
of other husbands and wives, fac
ing the summer problem, we will
consider here its two sides.
No Problem Involved If There
Are Children.
Let me say at once that if there
are children in the family, the
problem is not a problem at all.
It is the duty of parents to give
their children country air in the
summer, If that Is possible. II the
children 20 to the country, their
mothers place is with them. The
two sides Of the question. there

rested daily and sent to the work
house.
Loosing the mob seems to me Just
as stupid and even more dangerous
q way to deal with picketing as send
ing them to Jail.
1t is not necessary to go into the
question Of the rtghtness or other
wise Of what the suffrage women
are doing. Let US assume for argu-
ment that they are foolish and mis-
guided. The President has said that
they are within their legal rights. II
that is so. they are entitled to police
protection. In refusing them pro-
lection officials are no doubt carry
ing out the orders Of their superiors-
But even so, they are the persons
that will be officially responsible, II
a fatality takes place-and It is only
a miracle that one Of the women has
not already been killed
Again | ask is It not a dangerous
piece OF business?

HOW SOLDIERS ARE WELCOMED HOME
 BY WEIGH PEOPLE

CARDIFF, Wales, Dec. An ap- propriate way of welcoming the men who return to leave from the front has been adopted by South Wales towns and villages. The news that soldier from that neigh borhood is on his way home is a signal for the whole town, from the main streets to the most dingy street in the district of coal-mining villages, to blossom into a gorge- ous display of flags and bunting. Lamp posts are transformed into Venetian masts, the flags of all the Allies futter from cottage win dows, and a great banner inscribed Welcome Home" spans the street opposite the homecoming hero's house.

HOOVER SENDS A WARNING TO ALL AMERICANS Must Conserve on Food in Order to Keep Volun-
 tary System in
 Vogue LETTER TO GUNNiS0N Unable to Supply Enough Supplies Desired by the Allies For Month
 of December

Royal A. Gunnison is getting busy as the federal food commissioner for Alaska, and arranging to carry the work to every part of Alaska. Today he received the following telegram from Herbert Hoover, na- tional federal food commissioner:
 Washington, D. C., Dee. 6, 1917 Gunnison,
 Food Administrator,
 Juneau, Alaska
 Statements appearing in Chicago Press and widely circulated eman- ating from parties interested in ex plotting the sale of meat, protest ing against wheatless and meatless days as unnecessary sacrifices by the American public are either ma licious or emanate from personal in terest, obviously endeavoring to raise price of meat. The results from meatless days have for the first time created sufficient visible sup ply of meat to allow us partially to comply with the quantities re- quested by the Allies for shipments during the month of December. This should be matter of satisfaction to the entire American people that their devotion in this matter now enables us to resume our duties to the Allies in this respect and our enterprise should in not any in stance be relaxed. As to wheat, we have already exported the whole of the surplus of the 1917 harvest over and above the normal demand of our own people until the 1918 harvest. It is necessary for the Food Administration to restrict the export of wheat so as to retain in the United States sufficient supply to carry our own people until the next harvest. Therefore, all ex- ports of wheat from now forward are limited entirely to the volume of saving made by the American people in their consumption of wheat and wheat products. We are continuing wheat shipments for De- cember as far as our situation al lows but even With all the conser- vation made We are still unable to load over four hundred thousand tons of foodstuffs urgently required by the Allies during the month of December. Statements of the above character given out for personal in terest are in little accordance with the spirit being shown by millions of homes in the United States, in an endeavor to aid the Food Ad- ministration in it's task of feeding our own soldiers abroad as we'll as our Allies and stabilizing prices to our own people. No more foolish or unpatriotic utterance has been made than the shtatement referred to. In the critical situation of the worlds supply of food today opposi- ton to the government conservation measures is an action comparable to opposition to the draft because any failure in saving food means di- rect and immediate loss of life aside from serious interference with our war services in the feeding of the Allies.

SHARK SKINS HOW REP AIRED
 IS EXPLAINED
Federal Commissioner Has Given a Few Points to Those That Are
 Interested

Ernest P Walker federal com missioner of fisheries who is at present in Juneau is taking an ac- tive interest in creating an indus try from the securing of shark skins from these waters and preparing them for market Mir. Walker says that many skins are spoiled after being secured through the careless ness on the part of the handlers.
 A few instructions have been pre- pared by MT. Walker for the in formation and guidance of those en- ed below:
 Skinning.
 All fins are to be removed, cutting them off as close to the body as possible without injuring the hide The hide should then be cut up the back with knife and skinned 50 as to leave as little flesh adherug to it as possible. If all flesh can be removed so much the better. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED NOT TO MAKE ANY CUTS IN THE SKIN, as holes in it make the skin half price.
 Salting.
 The skin should be salted when perfectly fresh. Spread the fresh skins, outside down, on the floor and cover them with layer of salt Use the utmost care in spread ing the salt to leave no place un- touched, so that the back of the next skin comes in contact with salt only.
 For thin skins piled up in this manner the heighth of the kench, or pile, should not exceed three feet. | If the skins are large and heavy they may be piled on top of one another to a height of four feet.
 They should be salted at least three to five days, depending on the thickness, and then may be ready for l shipment.
 Shipping.
 The shipping containers may be either boxes or barrels. A case 90 inches long by 20 inches wide by Is inches deep. inside measurement should hold 200 pounds. The mater ial may be the cheapest quality lum Der, ends one inch sides, top, and bottom five eighths inch lumber. In a case of this kind the skins can be packed down or each skin rolled up In either instance, care must be ex ercised to give them slight sprink ling of salt on the flesh side before packing to prevent heating or slim ing
 Skins to be shipped by water freight for some distance presumably will require stronger containers.
 Second hand sugar, flour or fish barrels may be used, but fishermen or packers should first examine these containers for nail points on the in side, as such are liable to damage the skins.
 Tanners of fish skins complain thai many are full of holes, making the product worthless. In many cases this is due to forking the fish. II can not be too strongly emphasized that all possible care should be ex ercised by the fishermen to avoid making unnecessary cuts or holes ir the skins.
 At present shark skins over six feet in length are the most desir able. Porpoises may be of any size
