DOROTHY DIX'S TALKS-Cu1tivate an Outside Interest

BY DOROTHY DIX

1ere15 themselves. They are literally those
who put all of their eggs in one basket, who
stake their entire fortune one bet. ii
luck turns against them they are wholly
bankrupted If the common tragedies of life
befall them they are left absolutely desc
late They have other resources. No in
terest to fall back upon. Nothing with which
to stay their souls in their loss.
1t is these seIf-centered people whose
hearts break, who die of grief, or go mad,
or who lose their grip, and sink under their
misfortune when death robs them of hus-
band or wife or child. They had all of their
fortune in one coin, as Mrs. Browning puts
it, and when they have lost it they are
paupers, indeed. They have not been pru-
dent enough to lay up Wealth of other in
terests upon which they could live in their
time of need.
Of course to compare an interest in So
ciety, fad for Japanese prints, or old china,
a love of books, an interest in travelling, or
politics, or philanthropy, or gold, or clubs,
with the obeessing interest that one has in
ones family, is to compare poor thing with
a great one. Nevertheless these outside in
terests do take the brunt off of ones grief
and loneliness, and make refuge to which
one can turn in times of trouble.
Therefore, everyone should cultivate an
outside interest in life because it broadens
them, and make them more livable to other
people, and causes them to enjoy life more
themselves, and it is especially necessary that
women should give themselves something to
think about outside of their families.
Mothers make the mistake of absorbing
themselves so much in their children that
they have no life apart from them. The only
thing in the world that interests them is
what Mamie and John are doing, and this
ends by making them parasites who suck the
very life blood out of their children.
One of the acute problems of life is the
DTOb10m statistics IL
vorce show that mother in the house brings
felicity than any other one thing. Every
body can testify either from their own ex-
perience, Or observation, that there is not
one chance in a hundred for young couple
to be happy if either the girls mother or
the mans mother live with them.
Yet, if mother is widow she inflcts her
self upon them because she can't live with
out John Mary. She could travel She
could live in a nice hotel or boarding house.
She could have her own Independent home
if sho would, but she can't live alone. She
can't develop interest in anything but her
children. She has to take her own life Sec
ond hand from them even if she ruins their
lives in doing it.
Don't let this fate befall YOU Love your
family, but love the balance of the world,
too. Be interested in your home, but have
a thousand outside interests so that you may
never become wholly mentally and spiritually
bankrupted.

few years. 1t cannot afford an expensive
warden system like that of New York State,
for example. There the game Wardens are
an armed and uniformed force In Maryland,
as in most states, they are mostly farmers
who are paid nothing and do little. Even
so, the game law is fairly well obeyed, and
the cOmmOner species of game hold their
own. Besides the excellent wild fowl shoot
ing of the Chesapeake region, which brings
a really considerable item of food into the
state every fall, there are still good many
quail, rabbits and squirrels. Sportsmen get
good shooting within Is or 20 miles of
Washington, and many quail are killed close
to the District of Columbia line. But many
parts of the state, especially the large wood
ed areas along the Potomac, formerly sup
ported large numbers Of wild turkeys and
rutfed grouse. Any good hunter could get
his Thanksgiving turkey in the woods a
quarter OF century ago, while the grouse,
locally called pheasant, were so abundant
that many hunters paid no attention to the
humble quail.
The story Of these birds has been one of
slow decrease to the verge of determination.
Now there are just few bands of wild tur-
keys in The larger wooded areas, while the
ruffed grouse is an occasional and surprising
sight
This decrease has not been wholly due to
shooting. The cutting down of the woods,
together with forest fires, must have had
much to do with it. But there remain many
areas of forest large enough to support
grouse and not a few where wild turkeys
would thrive if they once got a start Even
deer, which have been extinct in much of the
state for half a century, could be restored
in many places. This was proved when a few
deer were turned loose near Mt Vernon, IS
miles from Washington, and multiplied at
an astonishing rate without protection
A proper system of game sanctuaries would
give the American sportsman shot at some
of the noble game that his grandfather
hunted.

Treasures From the Humble
~ HAT would seem less promising than

T HAT would seem less promising IMAM
the iuiceIess refuse of sugar cane?
Inferior as fuel, undesirable as fer
tilizer, and ill adapted to paper making,
bagasse, as the cane mill o1fal is called, was
long regarded as fit only for limbo.
But if an enterprise now reported as well
under way at Marrero, Louisiana, an indus
trial suburb of New Orleans, proves perma-
nently successful, the dry leavings of sugar
cane will rival in value the flowing succu-
ence itself. In an extensive manufacturing
plant, the first unit of which has been con-
structed at cost of five hundred thousand
dollars, bagasse is being made into insulat-
ing board and diversity OF building prod
ucts. The process, although not explained
in published accounts, is described by the
Manufacturers Record as being "manifestly
the outgrowth of previous attempts to make
paper or fiber boards, for there are in this
mill the familiar features of breakers, soak
ing tanks, steam cookers, washers, heaters,
rolling mills, dryers and cutting machines,
etc." But this machinery turns out, instead
of a roll of paper, an enormous board. The
first to be produced was eight hundred feet
long, twelve feet wide, and half an inch in
thickness-"enough to build three five
room bungalows.
The board can be sawed into desired
lengths and widths; and weighing six
tenths of a pound to the square foot, it can
be handled conveniently in large d1men-
sions. Among the manifold uses claimed for
mentions the following: GAS an inside
sheathing it replaces wood sheathing and
lath. 1t may be left in it's natural state, or
may be painted, papered over or plastered.
AS a sub-fooring, it replaces wood and
serves as an insulation against heat, cold
and sound. Used as a kitchen floor, and
covered with linoleum, it makes a resilient
surface. AS a roof sheathing, it replaces
wood sheathing, and serves as an insulation
against heat and cold. 1t can be used to
build a house, inside and out, from the
foundation to the roof, with lumber only for
doors and frames and the upper flooring.
Tie cost will be far below the cost of lum-
Der. For the preservation of vegetables and
fruit, room built Of it can be kept at a
proper temperature and practically constant,
because of the insulating qualities. 1t can
be used in every kind of refrigeration or
cold storage construction. 1t is not subject
to decay, like wood
Much of the worlds wealth today is
drawn from materials once ignored or swept
aside as worthless. From cotton bulls the
South derives millions of dollars; from corn
cobs come valuable Installations; from the
refuse of coal ovens come wonderful dyes,
precious medicines, and mighty sinews of
national defense. The more man learns,
the more does he gather treasures from the
humble, and perceive that "things which are
seen are made of things which do not ap-
pear"

You often hear a man say: 81 have no in
terest outside of my family and my business
Still more often woman will say: Il have
no interest outside of my home, and my hus-
band, and children"
And when they say 1t they puff out their
chests, and assume virtuous expression as
if they counted it unto themselves for right
eousness to have sympathies as narrow as
a shoe string.
They have made a close corporation of
life from which they have excluded the bal
ance of their fellow creatures. They have
shut themselves away from all the manifold
joys and sorrows, and excitements and thrills
Of the great outer world. Their house OF
life is a tiny room, walled in with selfish
ness, and they judge the happenings Of the
universe by that goes On within.
We got some wonderful examples of this
during the Great War when we met parents
who measured the whole Titanic combat by
the way it affected their Johnny, who thought
that every other boy should defend his coun-
try except their Tom and who, to this day,
boast that their son smashed the Hindenburg
line.
Now family love is very beautiful and
desirable thing. 1t is good to see man who
is faithful and devoted, and we are all ready
to sing paeans of praise in honor Of an ador-
ing wife and mother but like all other good
Things, family affection can easily be over
one and become vice instead of virtue.
For one thing nothing else on earth is
more supplying to the intellect than eX-
cessive domesticity 1t dulls people like dope
It makes them lose their ability to see any
thing outside of their own tiny circle, or to
gauge any event except as it reacts upon
themselves.
Who, to revert once more to the war, can
ever forget the SNUG complacency of men
who, while hundreds of thousands of other
mems sons were dying on the battle fields,
openly boosted that they had made SO much
money out of war conditions that they would
be able to send their own boys to college?
Who does not remember some woman who,
during the crucial hours of some battle, when
civilization itself hung in the balance, was
so obsessed by her babys cutting tooth, or
her cook leaving that she literally did not
know what was happening outside of her
home?
Chief among ten thousand bores are the
men and women whs have no interest out
side of their families and their work. Their
kitchen to the nursery, and the store, and
panions have only choice between listening
to a mOnologue on the grocery trade, and the
delinquencies of maids, and NAMES beauX,
and what Charlie does, and thinks, and says,
or silence, for when the overly domestic do
not talk about themselves they have nothing
whatever to say.
Sometimes when you see how dull and tire
some those become who are nailed to their
own fireside you begin to think that you pre-
fer the rovers, after all.
The people who narrow themselves down
to one interest are, however, the worst suf-

MRS. SOLOMON SAYS:
BY HELEN ROWLAND

"
Arise, my Daughter, arise and defend thy
Beloved!
For, the battle-cry of Freedom is no long
err "Votes-for- Women"
Nay, verify, it is "sMoKEs FOR MEM"
10, already, have the Killjoys robbed Man
of his Cheer.
And, now, would they gleefully take away
his Solace and despoil him of his Consola-
ton!
Yea. even his Meerschaum and his Brier
and his Perfecto and his Twoferin&, and his
Corn-cob and his Coffin-nail, and all things
that are his by the divine right Of Tobacco
would they derry him
And, WHAT, my Dau~Hter, will thy Be-
loved be, without his Smokes?
Even lamp without light. flivver
without gasoline, doggies tail without
wag, a motor without oil, joke without
point, a FUNERAL without flowers
But, as for thee, thy life shall be as
continuous battle, an endless Armageddon,
or the sadness and silence of a Sunday in
the suburbs.
For, behold, Man is not yet perfect, but
exceeding Human and full of capriciousness
Yea, he is collection of moods and hqmors
tied with very thin string.
And, for these and for his grouches and
his nerves and his emotions must every man
have a SAFETY-VALVE, lest he explode.
Go to, my Daughter Knowest thou a
man that doth NOT smoke? Then, I charge
thee be not deceived, but seek carefully for
it's place. And thou shalt find it, whether
it be flirting with flappers spying In the ice
box, picking on the cook shifting snuff tor
menting his wife, nursing his dyspepsia, or
carrying his handkerchief in his sleeves.
For, every man hath his "temperamental
Fire-escape;" and of all these SMOKING is
the least evil
Lo, I have observed a man, when he had
foresworn smoking for a single week; and
it was as the thrashing of new-caught lion
in
City Zoo at feeding time.
Yea, he was a terrorist in the office and
an affliction in the house; and those who
approached him spake softly and fled quick
ly, lest his wrath destroy them.
For, Hum, n Volcano even when not in
eruption, is not soul-soothing.
Verify, verify, Tobacco is the divine fire
in which all mans troubles are consumed,
the salve and the salvation of his spirit.
Yea, the smoke from his after-dinner cigar
rOse-color.
In it's alchemy all his cares are dtspelled
and his sweetest dreams are born
1t lifteth the sorrows from the soul Of the
lover and the burdens from the spirit Of the
husband 1t cooleth the head and giveth
wings to the spirit. 1t warmeth the heart
mysoginist.
work easier, marriage supportable, and an
HUSBAND endurable!
Nay verify! Not while there is left a

DELAYED SPEECH
Bv H. AddingtOn Bruce
TAILURE of children to begin to speak
II at the age when speech development

TAlLURE of children to begin to speak
II at the age when speech development
usually starts is by no means neces-
sarily the sign of mental defect many peo-
pie take it to be. In fact, mental defect is
not even the commonest cause for delayed
speech.
Far commoner is faulty upbrnging of the
child, having mental retardation as a con-
sequence Any condition which means NAL
misunderstanding the child improperly,
depriving it of fresh air, etc.-is bound to
interfere with a child's mental growth, and
delayed speech may be sign of such inter-
ference.
Or it may indicate nothing more serious
than an unwise parental policy in the train
ing of the child. AS recently noted by
writer in the journal OF the American Medl-
cal Association:
"It sometimes happens that too ready &C
quiescence in the tendency of particular
child to gesture rather than to talk may con-
firm such tendency and thus actually dis
courage the inception of talking"
A kindred error, it may incidentally be
mentioned, accounts for the failure of
many children to speak clearly after they
do begin to speak.
Just as there are parents who encourage
gesture language in their little children be-
oause they think it "cute," so are there par
ents who for the same reason encourage their
children to cling to "baby talk" The result
in both cases may be some degree of speech
inadequacy throughout life.
Deafness is another fairly common cause
of delayed speech in children. The deafness
need not be complete. A slight degre of
impaird hearing may suffice to postpone
surprisingly the beginning of speech.
Injury to the speech centers, sustained at
more serious cause of delayed speech, though
fortunately of comparatively rare occurrence.
Comparatively rare, also, is abnormality of
the speech organs, making it difficult or
impossible for the child, even if it begins
to speak at the usual time, to articulate
clearly.
Finally, mental defect must undeniably be
reckoned with in cases of speech retarda-
ton.
If only because of this possibility, any child
whose speech development is apprecably de-
layed should be given the benefit of a care
full examination by some specialist in brain
conditions. The mental defect may be so
slight that remedial training, if instituted
early, may achieve much toward it's correc-
ton.
And, for the matter of that, whatever the
cause of the speech delay, effort to ascer
tain it should promptly be made To take
for granted that the child "just happens to
be slow in talking" may be to impose on
that child for the remainder of his days a
heavy and proven handicap.
Nor should parents be deferred from hav-
ing the necessary examination made because
of inability to pay specialists fees. There
are chi1dren's clinics to meet just such con-
tingency, and information with regard to
local clinics of this sort may be obtained
from Board of Health or Board of Educa-
ton authorities.
