GREEN HANDS.

came across a very expressive sem
tence the other day in my reading
Here it is: THE man who cannot for
give any mortal thing is a green hand
in life.,'
The population in green hands" is
all too great in the world
Most of us are crude blundercrs
anyway. We lack breadth and sound
mess. We travel around an entire
block when we could have taken a
cross cut. We look thru little holes
into the landscape of the world-and
so see only small part
We are green hands
: We feel our way too carefully. We
are too prudent-too wise MSs.
Grundy gets our goat" too often and
The heart of us keeps pumping life
into every corner of our nature. but
our educated" instincts get pushed to
the side while some strange process
sion has to pass by in the name of
convention or good form.
I stopped at a roadside where a sign
read Maple Sugar for Sale" Now L
am very fond Of Maple Sugar So 1
stopped and bought some. And such
Sugart So pure that it melted in my
mouth" But this is what I want to
bring QUIT was HONESTLY made
it was ALL Maple Sugar made by peo-
pie who hadn't learned how to adul-
terate and profit dishonesty. The
hands that made it were not green"
The man with an honest purpose is
not green at his job.
The man who places human charac-
ter higher than human achievement
doesn't work with a green brain. He
is the soul of proficient living.
Try not to- be a green hand in life.

In a recent criticism of the federal
reserve bill for what he called Its IN
wise deflatiSn" work. Senator Robert
L. Owen, of Oklahoma, who was chair
man of the banking and currency COM
mittee of the United States senate and
was one of the recognized molders of
the federal reserve law, made the
point that the payment of interest on
deposits increases the wages or rental
on mopey to borrowers. He pointed
out that the normal rates of interest in
Europe for fifty years before the war,
where they do not pay interest on de-
posits. were from to 4 per cent. In
America, where they do pay interest
on deposits, of from to per cent,
the normal rate of interest has been
from 5 to 6 per cent. 1t may not have
occurred to the senator that failure
OF the banks to pay interest would lead
to a withdrawal of deposits and a les
SEEMING of loanable funds. which natuE-
ally would tend toward the mainte-
nance OF the rate charged borrowers.

The Montreal Gazette has advanced
its selling price to cents copy from
3 cents. In making the announce
ment, it says that its price has been
only slightly increased in the last
twenty years while in the last six years
the cost of production has increased
enormously. 1t prints tables showing
that since 1914 the wages it pays have
increased so per cent During the
same time the price of paper has
jumped 200 per cent; other supplies it
must have have gone up 1e0 per cent,
and it costs 500 per cent more to de-
liver papers than it did six years ago.
This figures an average percentage in
crease of 10 per cent since 1914 That
makes the new price TO subscribers
represent an advance of about one
third of the increased cost OF publica-
ton. 1t says that the alternative to
higher subscription price would be to
lower the standard of the paper and
the publishers believe they correctly
interpret the wishes of their subscrib-
ers by maintaining the present stand

A Woman,s Ideal Maui.
~ DOROTHY DIX
Woxsd's HIEheet Paid Woman WFir1

In personal appearance he is a
large, tall. husky youth who looks as
if he could give a good account of
himself in a fight, for women secretly
like a bit of the brute in man. He has
nice white teeth and the usual en-
semble of features. She isn't particu-
lar about their size or shape or ar
rangement, but he must be immacu-
lately clean. and wear his clothes with
the right air.
The average woman admires the
soulfu1-orbed matinee hero or the
Adonis of the screen only profession
ally. She wouldn't take him as a gift
for a husband. She wants the center
of the stage as the family beauty for
herself, instead of having to see it
wasted on a mere man.
Also, she would far rather hear peo-
pie say: How in the world do you
suppose that homely man ever mar
ried q peach like that?" than to listen
to some one exclaim: Gee, look at
that handsome man and the lemon
he drewl"
intellectually woman's ideal man

Nothing Glass. There's nothing a
woman really enjoys like getting
sway-backed looking up to her Hhus-
band and when you find one who be-

as if that settled everything from the
League of Nations to the length of
ladies' skirts, you have a perfect pic
ture of connubial bliss, and of
woman who has got her hearts de
sire
No woman really wants to know as
much as her husband. She wants a
man who will save he~ the trouble of
thinking and the responsibility of de-
Gliding things and using her own judg-
ment so that she can throw the blams
on him when things turn out badly.
But while she desires a man who is
c1everer than she is she wants him to
regard her as a paragon of wisdom,
and to make of her a companion; she
wants him to listen to her advice, and
be guided by it; and he must have
enormous respect for her intuition and
always play her lunches in business
deals.
A woman's ideal man IS a happy
ombination of the roaring lion and
the sucking dove. In her heart every
woman is still a cave woman. and she
would like to be wooed with a club,
and dragged by the hair of her head to
the two-by-four flat her lovers has
rented for their new home.
No woman ever really falls in love
with the man who woos her humbly
on Bonded knee, nor does any, wife
who lets her henpeck him and make
doormat out of/him. The man OF
her dream is strong and masterful and
able to hold his own at home and
abroad.
She likes a-man of whom she is a
little afraid, man who is iron yet
who becomes putty, upon occasion. in
her hands, for there is nothing SO
thrillingly fascinating to a woman as
to feel that she can influence the man
who is inflexible to all the balance of
the world.

Those who battle for improvement

Those who battle for Improvement
in health conditions in the United
States appear TO be winning the fight.
Barring Unforeseen disturbances in
the fail and winter. says a bulletin is
sued by the Metropolitan Life. 1920
should prove to be the best year in
the sanitary history of the United
States. The accumulated efforts for
better public health are bringing re-
suits. The improvement is noted very
generally thruout the country. 1t is
equally evident among white and
black people. This desirable condi-
ton has been attained thru a decline
in the death rate for tuberculosis, in
fluenza and pneumonia, and the acct
dents. The most significant fact in
the record of this year is the drop in
the tuberculosis death rate, which
among insured wage earners is now
approaching that found in the general
population. This is a remarkable
achievement in view of the uniformly
higher rates for tuberculosis which
have prevailed among those engaged
in industry.
