STATE POLICE
FAIL TO FIND
WEIRD ANTICS
AT 'OOM' CLUB

ton Of the activities of DR.. Pierre A.

Loving Guru of the Tankriks," in
his conduct Of the Braeburn Country
Club at Nyack, n. Y. was begun
yesterday by the State police.
Constabulary troopers swooped
down on the place, but instead of
beholding "Oom's" cohorts indulging
in the weird exercises that had
aroused the villagers who had been
observing the strange antics of the
club coterie since the "omnipotent
Dom" established the colony early
last summer, they saw only ordinary
exercises going on.
Simple Physical Culture.
The women and children and inc
few men who were present were at
tired ~ boomers and sandals, but
instead OF the grotesque Yoga muscle

had shocked the community II Nyack
the troopers were treated to only the
simplest OF physical culture drills.
II was evident that "Oom," be-
fore taking to cover, when 1t was
revealed that he was again back on
his old job Of gathering disciples to
mis- foga cult. had seen fit to thwart
the Authorities. just as he did sue
eessfuily when the New York police
raided his temples in this city.

families always account 1t unto them

their doctors bills as II they were cita-
tlons for deeds of heroism, and they feel
that their husbands and children can
never be sufficiently grateful to them
for all they have done for them. But
II the husband and children were al
lowed to express themselves on the sub
ject they would say that their bodily
comfort had been bought at too great
a price, and that they would rather
have palmer food and clothes and a

worn out and cross to enjoy things

For II you will notice, you will OBJ
serve that it Is always Mary who rs
adored by her family, while Martha's
family appreciates her good points but
finds her trying to live with.
A woman who is not very robust does
well to take accurate measure OF her
strength and to give only such a part
of 1t to her domestic affairs as she a
give without making herself nervous
and irritable and sick. Let her save
the biggest part of her energy to de-
vote to the higher things, to keeping
herself cheerful and ever tempered and
chummy with her husband n chill
dren.
This may cause her to neglect her
housekeeping a bit. There may be oc-
casionally dust on the parlor mantel,
and simple food on the table, and the
children's clothes may not have as
much hand work on them as Martha's
children have, but If 1t enables her to
be jolly and pally instead Of being
auernlous and fault finding, nobody Is

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE BETTER ART.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

The story Of Martha and Mary in the
Bible rs eternally symbolic of the life
Of the average woman. Martha must
keep the home fires burning In every
household. She must see that the floor
Is swept, the dinner cooked. the chill
dren's clothes clean and whole.
And Mary must keep alight the lamp
on the altar of the soul Of the house.

the finer things OF life. She must read

hold on schedule lines, requires the SER
vices of both Martha and Mary,
Monogamy, however, restricts q man to
one wife, He does not have domestic
Martha In the kitchen and aesthetic
Mary in the parlor, but one poor wife
who attempts to unite all the various
different feminine virtues in her one
small person.
And 1t Is when a woman tries the
Martha Mary stunt that she commits
suicide and lands in an early grave. or
she becomes q nervous wreck and
makes life hideous for herself and her
family by her peevishness, her nagging
and her whines and complaints.
Perhaps there Is, here and there, a
woman of exceptionally robust physique
and supernatural executive ability who
can capably fill the dual role Of Martha
and Mary, who a cook and sew and
scrub and wash with one hand and
vamp their husbands and chum with
their children with the other, so to
speak, but these female prodigies are
as rare as hens teeth.
The ordinary woman a make an
excellent domestic servant, or she can
make a satisfactory parlor entertainer,
the Same time, she bungles each job.
Therefore 1t is up to her to decide
which part she win understudy--that
of Martha or Mary, seeing she Is no
lightning change artist who can make
a quick transition from one to the
other,
Curiously enough, most women de-
Ia because the traditional way to hold
q husband is to feed the brute. Per-
haps the material, teing more obvious
h a the spiritual, seems of more i'm
portance in u eyes. Any way, the
average woman feels that her first duty
to her family is TO make 1t physically
comfortable.
Therefore you will see a woman make
a burnt offering Of herself over the
kitchen stove cooking elaborate meals
although she knows by doing 80 she
will reduce herself TO a nervous wreck
that is unfit for any human consump-
ton.
or she will sweep, scrub, dust and
polish TO make her house Immaculate
although the inevitable result is to
bring on a Spell that sends her to
her couch to spend the evening moan
ing over her poor back,

may have more ruffles on her frock
