The Restoration of the Home

The fact announced Friday by Mrs Barrett, national president of the Florence Critenton Home, of the present average of girls admitted to the homes now. Is years in comparison with the earlier average of 2s is startling and confrmatory of all the warning which has been given Of the effect of he modern jazz upon the young girls of this country.
 The lowering of the average of admission Is we believe the direct result of the laxty of dsci pline in American homes.
 Inmates of Florence Crittenton and other rescue homes formerly were the part broken-do women or girls aged before their me by their ner of living There was, too, among them prepon- derating number of low mentality.
 The younger girls were generally kept for a. time rothe1 or the grave the suicide. There was girls ,reatest danger when she reached the age twenty for though at age of eighteen, girls did not often avail themselves of the freedom which the law gave them but remained under parental restraint rath- CT parental protection until marriage or until they left home to seek employment.
 It is hard to fix the beginning of the jazz or t follow the course it the country. It to have had it's origin in New York a dozen years eo when the new dances starting whence nobody l.pevr were adopted by society which also adopted into it's slightly less exclusive circles professional dancers of unknown or disregarded antecedents. some of them having up rather recently from the siums.

 Rapid calcuia len is mere useful in the business Wo>1 tllaay any other kind of arithmetic.

It includes all the work thas is taken up Tn cCm.nercial arith- metic. I was always poor in arith- metic in the grades. I just barely passed each year. I was always poor at adding. and, although my adding is not perfect, yet it has greatly inn proved since I entered the rapid call culation class.-Mary Alice Hamil- ton.
 Commercial arithmetic is of great value to us in many ways. We use it in every day work all the time. If we are working in a store or any place where we change money, rapid calculation is of great benefit. be- cause we can make change without any trouble. WhdA we go out into the business worlc we all know we deal with figures great deal. and we must be accurate and also fast. Besides the speed and accuracy part of it, we learn to make small, neat figures. I can already see the diff ference in my figures since I have been taking rapid calculation. It seemed as if I could not get over the habit of making large, ugly figures. Now I can make them smaller and I have also learned that there are many short cuts in addi-
 tion. division of fractions and in
 many other things. We have also learned shorter ways of proving diff ferent problems.-Leslie Greer. Arithmetic is a very important | subject for everybody The house. wife needs arithmetic just as well as

 We are accustomed to associate admirals with navies, and navies with the sea. Hungary is with out navy and is likely to be so deprived for some time It is situated like Sancho Panza's isle many miles inland it is impartialy distant almost equi- distant, the Black. Baltic and the Adriatic seas.
 Admiral Horthy may have had some connection with the sea when Hungary part of the dual monarchy and had access to the Adriatic, but that maritime relation was not necessary to his assump- tion of the title the investment of him with it. There have been admrals without nayies as well as navies without adrnirals.
 The word in the first place had no relation to the naval service It derived from an Arabic word meaning "lord" chief.
 Thus even the Swiss. if Switzerland were not a republic, might have admiral 1 it wanted one much more substantial than the navy which Josephus Daniels either ignorantly with national poiteness invited to participate in a great naval review off Atlantic coast.
