is KISSING INTOXICATING?

1t it be true, as a certain New
Yorker claims, that kissing is intoxi-
eating, we may be sure that this time
honored custom will not want for de-
voices after July list. Whether or
not the AmalgamatSd Order of AL
cohol Assimilators decide to conduct
tests of this new exhilarant, it is
more than reasonably certain that it
will not be neglected by individual
knights of bourbon and of rye. There
could be no less in experiments even
if the claim of the l;ew Yorker may
be proved fictitious.
We may expect some of the old
guard of brass rail and mahogany
acrobats to reburnish their personal
appearance and HE them forth to the
new realm, where songs and stimula-
ton may flow from here labial con-
tact. And if it should be demon
strated that the New Yorker is right,
what victory will have been Ivon
over that morning after feeling.
Doubtless the effect must be equal
ICED between the kisser and the kissee.
This would guarantee permanence
for the new institution. There need
be no fear of woman suffrage. An
extension fthe elective franchise
to the kissees with the inevitable cam
paigns, as of the old order, ought to
the new system of mental
exhilaration in perpetuity.
A new constitutional amendment
ought in the nature of things have
few advocates and no proponents

REGARDING THE TEACHER.

Under the above heading one of
our exchanges truthfully remarks that
when the son or daughter comes home
from school with a complaint against
the methods of a teacher, it is easy
for the fond parent to take the evil
dence and form an opinion accord
ingly.
Theachers are about as human as
other folks. Like other mortals they
sometimes make mistakes. Not all
of them can have the best methods
of conducting classes. Some of them
are not sufficiently equipped for
teaching. A few of them might be
better clers or seamstresses just
like a few ministers or lawyers or
editors might be better brick-mak-
ers.
But here is peculiar thing. A
parent can formulate an opinion in a
minute and condemn a teacher as in
competent when he hears one bit of
evidence from his son or daughter
He can make up his mind that the
teacher has no place in the schools.
Prehaps he lets the teacher know
that he is dissatisfied with her work.
Perhaps he even goes to someone
higher in authority in the school
system But the mortals are mighty
few who take the same trouble to let
teacher know their appreciation
when the teacher conducts her class
es as they think she should or when
she does good work in some particu-
lar class or course.
Our education work is so important
and essential that it should get the
consideration of the parents, But
here is one simple suggestion: Why
not give the teacher an occasional
word of thanks and encouragement
when she does her work well--in-
stead of expressing your feelings on
" when she does something that
does not meet your approval? Incl
dentally, this little bit of thanks and
encouragement would not only make
the teacher feel Letter, but it would
make her better instructor.

Farms for Our
Discharged Soldiers

Speaking freely on the subject of
allotments of land to returning SOL
diers and sailors, Secretary of the In
terror Lane, himself an old newspaper
man, continues to give interesting ex-
planatory matter to interviewers.' 1t
is new and decidedly mare liberal
era of homesteading that is advocat-
ed. He has talked with many soldiers
in the hospitals at Washington and
finds them responsive. The mails
bring great mass of inquiries. His
own son has been in service in France
and the father says seems to have be-
come ten years older in habits of
thought and observation. AS far as
avilabe unused land is concerned it
exists in every state and section. But
a better system than that of isolated
farmhouses is proposed. Rural isola-

culture. Our soldiers in France have

Britain Is Planning

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Schools for
war brides and soldiers finances are
being planned by the rehabilitation
department.
Domestic science, food chemistry

be taught
The schools will be open only to
wives of soldiers and women engaged
to marry soldiers. More than AGO.
900 young women are eligible, it is
estimated.

selves as social experiments by train
ing women to be helpful wives. The

schools are needed, it is believed, be-
cause thousands of young girls left
their homes to work in munition fac
tories at time when they ordinarily
would have begun to learn household
duties.
Of 100000 women who entered
industry during the war, thousands
now are jobless through the closing of
muntion factories. Hundreds are un-
able to find other employment be-
cause peace industries have not yet
got into full swing. The schools are
expected to give occupation to hun
dreds of women who otherwise would
have nothing to do.
The wives and fiancees' schools will
be established in scores of cities
which became munition centers dur
ing the war.

What Alfred Durkee "Sprang"-
His Mothers Cry.

] sat through my small sons first
birthday dinner with the tense feel
ing one has before a threatened
thunder storm. What with my ex-
perience with little Mrs. Durkee and
the whispered colloquy / had over
heard between here son and pretty
Leila Fairfax, the mental atmos-
phere seemed charged with cleo
tricity.
With eyes sharpened by what
what had seen, / noticed that Mrs.
Durkee and Miss Fairfax were eat
ing very little of the dishes over
which Katie had spent so much time,
although both women managed to
make "a clear pretence of enjoying
and disposing of the different
courses. Alfred Durkee on the con-
trary. was in widest of hilarious
moods, as we'll as most appreciative
of viands set before him. It needed
no Sherlock Holmes to deduce the
secret of his exuberant spirits. It
was betrayed in every glance he
gave Leila Fairfax, glances, how
ever. which were rarely returned,
for the Virginia art student kept her
eyes demurely fixed upon her plate
for the greater part of the time.
Luckily, however, there was no
one but Lillian and myself to notice
the suppressed agitation of the two
women. Alfred Durkee was soaring
too high to comprehend anything
which was happening at an ordinary
altitude, while Dicky, little Marion,
Mother Graham and my father was
so wrapped up in the behavior of the
baby that they could have been dis
turbed by nothing short of an ex-
plosion.
"Oh, Uncle Dickyl Auntie
Madgew little Marion caroled.
Gust look at Junior! Wouldn't you
think he knew every thing that was
going on? Isn't he the sweetest
thing"
1--WE admit it, Marion" Dickv
answered teasingly. Coyly and re-
luctantly, it is true, but still we
have acknowledge the corn"
IF that's the best you can say,
you don't deserve to have such
a darling" the child returned sauc-
lily.
Dicky is Reproved.
Her mother looked at her steadily
for moment, with grave wonder in
her eyes. 1t is a method of disci-
pine which urges occasionally with
the high-spirited sensitive child. and
/ have never known it to fail in
effect. Marion's color rose, but she
turned to Dicky bravely.
II didn't mean to speak that way,
Uncle Dicky," she said falteringly.
81 beg your pardon"
II don't know what for, Marion"
Dicky said tenderly, with a fash of
resentment in his eyes toward Lii
lian-he adores Lillian's small
daughter and spoils her atrociously
but what ever you say goes, so
if you want my pardon you can have
it on silver platter. And be-
sides"
He lowered his voice, bent his
head toward hers, and said some
thing rapidly in so low voice that
no one but she could hear, some
thing which made the child's face
flush with pleasure and set her eyes
to dancing
"Richard! Mother Graham's
voice betrayed her pique at his
daring to give one instant of his
attention to anyone beside her
grandchild. do you realize that
the ices have been served? 1t is
time for the cutting of the cakes"
The Rites Accomplished.
If she had been a grandee of
royal court she could have invested
an announcement of the browning of
the king with no greater dignity.
