Are you careful to see that only
correct conversation goes on ordinarily
in your home? If you have young
children, it's imperative that you do
this. You know from the way ip
which a child acquires a swear word
how quickly he viii seize upon an in
correct expression. 1t is doubly diff
cult to discourage the conscious use of
the grammatical errors, which have
become unconsciously fixed in child
hood, when he grows up. Baby talk
is adorable, but such words as "ain't
got" and "h'ain't see no." and the like,
are never pretty on any child'S lips and
canpot be corrected too young. A
knowledge of the correct use of the
English language is the greatest in
hertance toward success in life that
you can leave child. The place to
begin this lesson is in the home before
the child reaches school age, when he
is bound to hear imperfectations out
side of his home. He must learn to
know the difference between correct
and incorrect usage, and to cultivate
an instructive sense of the right word
at the right time. You and he can ac-
complish this, if you will take the time,
and exercise the necessary patience.

WamplIm Beads.

Wampum beads were made from a
variety of different substances, but
the one that was used in the greatest
numbers was the ordinary hard clam
or quahog, which is found from Cape
Cod to Florida. Roger Williams,
writing of the eastern Indians, states
that they "store up shells in summer
against winter, whereof they make
their money"

Beware indulgence of Anger.

1t is bad enough for one to get mad
by himself, let alone two together, but
when one gets angry 1t is rather diff
fcult for the other to remain calm.
Anger is something that is catching,
and ought to be guarded against at
all times.

DON'T BE A GUSHER.

The oil well which is denominated a
gusher is the sort we would all like to
own, but not so the girl who can hest
be described by the expressive word.
Gush gusher! gushing! All three
alike are unpopular with the sensible.
Like good many disagreeable
things, gushing is an imitation OF some
thing agreeable. The girl who gushes
fancies she is modelling herself on
another girl, popular because of her
pleasant vivacity. But the two resem-
BILE each other about as much as a
summer.shower resembles a cloudburst
orr spring zephyr resembles a cyclone.
The characteristic OF the gusher is
to overdo it. All OF us like to hear
pleasant things up to u certain point.
The individual who does not enjoy Il
compliment OF the right sort, and from
the right source, does not exist. But
the lavish, complimentary style which
at once awakens doubt of the speakers
sincerity, Is Objectionable to ali but the
very thick.skinned.
One characteristic OF gusher Is TO
be enthusiastic about things she knows
nothing OF. Whatever theme Is men
toned, she is always ready with the
same smile and the same acjectives
And she is safe while she sticks to
perfectly fascinating" and that sort
OF thing, but If by any chance someone
asks her question on the subject, her
blank expression is confession enough
BE as pleasant as you care to be
Be responsve BE appreciatvel
Don't be afraid to say kind things
But avoid the other extreme. Do not
make your responsiveness and your
appreciation worth nothing at all by
turning yourself into gusher.

A COLLAPSED BOOM

An idea that flashed In the pan
with mighty flash was the overall
club scheme. Starting in Tampa
Fit, this brilliant plan to bring the
proflteers begging to their knees
spread northward and westward until
thousandsaof followers were enlisted,
each of whom purchased q pair of
overalls and were them,--in some
cases for nearly a week.
Overalls in many places jumped to
$t2 per pair and overall factories
worked night and day. The Beau
Brummels OF the affected areas In
vested in blue denims for the day and
white ones for the evening. Solemn
ecwb were taken by various organiza-
tlons and individuals to wear said
deniinH until the high cost of living
came back from the clouds.
Unfortunately, this suddenly arous-
ed enthusiasm turned out TO be merely
a fad One by one, the wearers of the
blue sneaked home and donned tho
usual garb and few days later drop
ped In the store and ordered new
spring suit. The result was that each
member OF the famous overall brigade
found himself the victim Of the prices
charged for a new suit plus pair of
oyeTalls, n
IT was q fne idea, but 1t didn't work.

MONA LISA LOVED MUSIC

From the, Detroit News.
 Mona Lisa, the woman whose enig- matic smile has fascinated and repelled thousands upon thousands who have seen the painting in the Louvre, was an actual woman. the Neapolitan wife of Zanob del Giocondo.
 Very little, however, is known about her. Leonardo da Vinci worked for four years upon this painting, and even then is said to have regarded it as un- finished.
 A The subject of the portrait was ex- tremely fond of music. and as she sat before the painter flute players made music continuously so that the rapt ex- pression might not fade from her eyes and mouth.
 The beauty of the painting, accom- plished while Leonardo was at the very height of his powerss created tremen- dous furore. Francis I. paid about $10,- 900 for the Mona Lisa when that amount of money had purchasing value of about $1oo, ,ooY today. It was placed in the royal art gallery, and for genera tions has been one of the glories of the Louvre

LUKE M,LuKE SAYS

Our idea of polite man is one who Is too polite to demand all that is conn Ing to him.
 At that, it is a blame sight easier to succeed than it is to have to go around explaining why you didn't.
 There would be fewer damphools in the world if the marriage ceremony le- gally appointed every wife her hus- bands guardian.
 The only time some men are sure they are right is when their wives dis agree with them.
 About the time a man gets a good crease in his pants his wife will get up first in the morning and frisk said pants and leave them piled in a crumpied neap.
 It takes mana long time to learn that it is a heap easier to talk your self out of a good job than it is to talk yourself into one. When you get a man cornered in an argument he will say: Well. meant generally speaking" We all pay too much attention to the fine art of conversation and too little attention to the fine art of keeping |still.
 Anyway. hermit has the consolation of Knowing that the neighbors are moi talking about him. We are making too much progress nowadays. A girl starts wearing 6 drug store complexion about the time she gets out of grammar school.

x q Musical Taste of a Prominent Citizen

ARREN GAMALIEL HARD-
 WV ING, who played tuba some years before the Senate Oligarchy'' began to function, is opposed to jazz. This statement is made by violinist of Philadelphia who was a member of five-piece string orchestra which furnished music for the President elect on his trip to the Panama canal zone.
 A large supply of syncopated pieces were taken along, but MT. Harding did not request that any of them be played. On the contrary his favorites were the "Barcarple" from the Tales of Hoffman and "La Paloma." The violinist says there were some days when each of these pieces must have been played about 15 times-s Shu- bert's serenade was Mrs. Harding's favorite.
 It is evident that Mr. Harding is an old-fashioned man. While the strictly normal population of the country will not uuarre1 with him for his dislike of the jazz abomination, which threatened for time to make the American people nation of luna tics, some of his political ideas be- long as much to the past as "La Pal oma" does, or boat song of Venetian gondoliers.

SAID THE FIRST LADY

would be decidedly unfair to those la
 dies We are told, Mrs. Wilson met
 Mrs. Harding at the front hall and
 escorted her to the blue room where
 tea was served. They talked for an
 hour and the conversation probably
 was along these lines'
 Mrs. Wilson: You must tell me all
 ahout vour trip to Panama with the
 Senator. It must have been delightful.
 Mrs. Harding: Yes, the Senator and
 T enjoyed it tremendously. He tn-
 spected the locks and I inspected ths
 shops.
 Mrs. Wilson: o yes. the shops. Do tell me what they are like. Mrs. Harding: Of course they are very crude and primitive, but just look
 (opening her bag) at the marvellous piece of dress goods I purchased. (Mutual inspection and expert opin- ion on cloth qualities, dresses, etco Then
 Mrs. Wilson: Please let me show you the green and red rooms and the state dining You will soon be mistress here and I want to help you all I can.
 Mrs. Harding: o I'd be charmed, By the way, have you and the President found a house? They are so scarce and I am really concerned about it. Mrs. Wilson: We have had terrible time MT. Wilson and I have searched the whole countryside and do you know
 The fact that Mrs. Wilson is the wife of the War President, and Mrs. Hard | ing is the consort of the next Presi- 1 dent of the United States might have been provocation for dialogue in blank verse, but the truth is they talked in commonplace prose and discussed the things that any two American women would have talked about on first ac-
 Quaintance.
