Morals and the Stage.

The Chicago Church Federation has pro-
tested against the appearance with the Chi
cago Opera company CT a Russian singer be-
cause OF his admitted immoral private life.
The action OF the federation has raised wide
spread public discussion, and some of the ma
tons serious thinkers have expressed them
selves.
The vocalist around whom the present
storm has been raised has boosted in the pub
lie prints Of his conquests, and his brazen ad-
missions have been avidly devoured by our
best people. He has been living for several
years with a woman not his wife and makes no
concealment Of the fact assuming the position
that an artist is not supposed to be moral.
The 10 commandments we're not written for
the guidance of any particular class OF humans.
1t was never intended tina. the stage artist
Should be exempted from their observance
or course the singer against whom the fed
GRAFTON has aimed its campaign is in the wrong.
but he isn't the first stage person who has
won fame and dollars in the United States by
his loose mode of living and the Haunting OF
his immoral notions through the public prints
Those of the present generation can recall the
names Of several men and women of the stage
who have reaped rich harvests not because OF
| their talents, but because of notoriety they
| gained through escapades that should have
! caused decent people to turn away from them
instead Of towards them.
The stage will always be what the people
demand it to be. So will singers and actors
| Only when folks who pstronize the theatre de-
mand the same certificate of responsibility from
| the stage performers as they do from their
| neghbors will they have it.

What 10 gentleman. asks newspaper
Of it, women readers.
+ The women agree that = gentleman must
be kind. csnsiderate. honorable. truthful, re-
spectacle. intelligent and possess all Other
standard virtues. :
The true nature Of gentleman has been
under discussion for some 2.4oo years In the
18th century B. c., the Chinese philosopher
Confucius was asked by his disciple. Tsu-kung:
What is gentiemany'
And Confucius replied: "A gentleman puts
words into deeds and. suits what no says 70
the deed. He IL broad and fair Uhe vulgar
are biased and petty"
Also, said Confucius. gentleman is good
sport, or. in the words of the philosopher: "A
gentleman has no rivalries-eicept. perhaps IN
archery; and then. throughout the struggle ne
is still the gentleman"
Furthermore, we are told by Confucius, .
gentleman has no likes and no dsslikes below
heaven. He follows right Gentlemen trust in
Justice; the vulgar trust in favor"
Upon being questioned further by the per-
sistent Tzu-kung, Confucius replied: "A gem
tleman considers what is right: the vulgar
consider what will pay. gentleman wishes
10 be slow to speak andlquick to act He helps
the needy; he does not swell riches"
However, the Puritan fathers had an alto
gether different conception Of gentleman.
confucus held a gentleman to be one who
trusts in justice and not in favor but the Puri-
tans granted gentlemen" special privileges
uE6er the law.
Thus, code of statutes enacted in Massa-
chusetts in 1641, provided as follows:
mo man shall be beaten with above 40
| stripes. nor shall any true gentleman, nor any
man equal to gentleman, be punished with
whipping unless his crime be very shameful
1t appears, therefore, that being gentle
| man in Massachusetts was condition of life
| rather than OF character. The Chinese defni.
| ton is the better And, by the way. how many
! gentlemen would still be considered such, IL
| the Confucian specifications were Strictly
applied?

@. What are some of the highest
priced sugars? H. w.
A. There are several rare sugars
used in the detection Of diseases
for which high prices are asked.
Dulcitol- for instance. is worth
, about 1915 a pound. Mannose, man
mite, oxylose. inulin, aribinose, levu-
lose and raffinose are all bacteria
logical sugars whose prices range
in dollars rather than cents, and
which are sold by the ounce more
often than by the pound.
@. What is the distance between
the home plate and the pitchers
! box and has this distance been
heightened since the game was first
played? c. q.
A. The distance is now 60 feet
6 inches from the pitchers box to
the plate. At first the "thrower," as
he was then called, stood IS feet
from the plate.
@. How many cases did the ma
tional war labor board handle and
how many decisions did it render
! NJ. P.
A. The report Of the secretary
states that the board received and
passed upon 1,245 controversies; a
total of $40 findings were made
391 complaints were dismissed; 315
referred to other boards, or adjust
ment agencies; and few remained
on the docket.
@. Are the skins Of the ordinary
mole valuable for their furs?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
The ChildlesS Marriage

Can you tell why so many women
married for years remain childless !!
F.. M.
Answer-various defects of de-
velopment and of physical educa-
ton, various disease conditions OF
the wife. In at least half Of all
such cases the sterility Is the hus-
bands.
Sugar on the Cereal
Some physicians allow only one
teaspoonful of sugar on the oat-
meal taken at breakfast by child.
Others allow all the child desires
which, in our household, is about
four heaping teaspoonfuls. Please
give me your advice about this.
G. G..
Answered. allow the average
healthy child all the sugar he likes
on his oatmeal. In the case Of the
child with digestive difficulty, ane-
mia, finical appetite, an excess Of
sugars and starches in the diet is
often an important factor. and in
that case the amount of sugar al
lowed should be restricted, in or
der to preserve or encourage an
appetite for other kinds Of food
Children over five years OF age
should be encouraged to satisfy the
natural craving for sugar with a
liberal amount of fruits.
