HOME APPLIANCE CO.
 |S IN NEW QUARTERS

For the fourth time during its comparative short life as Phoenix business institution. the Home Ap- pliance company, dealers in electrical equipment for the household, has been obliged to seek larger quarters Yesterday morning. the concern opened the doors of its new quarters at 33-35 West Adams street.
 So rapid has been the growth or the business that the concern has hardly been able to keep pace with expansion demanded to facilitate the handling of business, John T. Urner, general manager of the concern, an nounced yesterday.
 Less than IS months ago. the Home Appliance company opened its first store on South Central avenue, oc- cupying a corner of the Hoeppner store. In a few months, the first moving to 39 West Adams street. Growth made another move neces- sary a few months later, this time to 37 West Adams street.
 In their new store. however, the firm members believe. that they hold sufficient floor space to care for all business for many years to come.
 Although specializing in electrical equipment for the home, from the electric toaster to the big family ironer, the company handles many other home appliances. In fact, it might be termed a department store of home appliance fixtures. Bruns- wick photographs, fireless cookers and iceless coolers are other fea- lures of the regular stock.

UTICA, N. Y.-Dr. Grace M. Norris. the first woman coroner in the United States, says she's going to be the first woman mayor in the east.
 And Utica, politically speaking, is willing to admit it.
 The doctor is chairman of the Wo- mems Republican club here. There is wide split in the party forces since Mayor James K. O'Conner open ly defied party leaders. They'll prob oppose the outspoken executive in November.
 Although the present mayor is out spoken, Dr. Norris vies with him in regard to frankness.
 She calls a spade a spade in her books: Temptations in Flesh That Face Young Girls "The Girl With Tarnished Name" and '"rhe Foot path to the Scarlet Road" They re- ceived wide comment in the medical and lay. press.

 When Dr. Norris went out for the coroners office she had been in the district less than year. But despite her limited acquaintance she waged campaign that made old time poli- ticians look up with apprehension She won over eight men, three Demo crats. three Socialists and two Re publicans.

WHAT'S A KISS WORTH?

The newspapers are telling all about the breach of promise suit, the love notes. the kis-es-oh. S@s. tNe kisses-they are debating about them in court Whether the respective parties are going to follow the usual procedure in cases where the value of an article is disputed and call eN- perts to certify in their behalf, We do not know. So far the debate has been between the lawyers, and II is up to the judge to decide upon the value of kiss. as they put it II would be more to the point, 1t seems to me, to talk about the value Of hose particular kisses.
 For those particular kisses were .ated. maI 1eo and labeled long be- fore the court ever got into th's case by the woman to whom hey were an intimate part.

HE DiScoNTENT OF PETER
 RABBIT

lou remember that it was discon- n1 1 nothing but discontent, that h at the bottom of all that had appened to Johnny Chuck. If John S nadnt suddenly become discon- sSSlleo with his old home on the
 en Meadows he never would have
 U. And if he hadn't left it he
 ser would have met Polly Chuck, n nu oI course there never would have 1f oeen that nice, new house in a corner rarmer Browns old orchard, nor ene paey Chucks, nor any of the joys ana worries which Johnny Chuck had - known. They had all come from that uiscontent with his old home And III spite Of his sorrow over the lost papy Chuck and the worries he had every day over the two little Chucks still at home, Johnny felt tha. he never before in his life had known so much joy as since he had learned what love is. And so he was glad or the discontent which had driven nm out into the world to find love.
 So you see discontent. the right Kind Of discomfort, sometimes leads to very much better things. Discon- tent which wants better things but is not unhappy if they cannot be ob- tained is really q good kind of discon- tent. But discontent which wants foolish things and is unhappy with out them is-well, just listen to the story of Peter Rabbits discontent and perhaps you will understand
 Peter Rabbit was discontentei Yes, sir, Peter Rabbit was discontenred. Now that the excitement over the hunt for Johnny Chuck's lost baby was over, Peter had more time to think about himself That was a bad thing for Peter. It is bad thing for any one to think too much about self, but it was especially bad for Peter Rabbit just then, because he 1idd't have much of anything else to think about You see, he had no family. He didn't have to build a new house He didn't even have to hunt for his food because in the beautiful spring tune fl ere is always plenty for Perar Rabbit to eat wherever he may he. Nobody wanted t, gossip, beca 'se, you know, everybody else was very busy.
 So Peter Rabbit sat in the dear old brier patch and wished this and wished that and wished the other thing until he grew so discontented

 Dr. Norris says one of the crying leeds of the world today is that for schools and colleges to teach sexual matters
 Her creed insists upon open eyed

 'We have schools and colleges to each almost everything else, but none to properly instruct young men and women in sexual matters" she says. Were this done effectively most of the flirtations, disSipations md prostitutions that now curse the world would not exist. The affec. ions are like rivers-you cannot dam them up.

Edna de Lier, who has just re- turned from Paris where she studied m the interest of famous Chicago milliner, warns against large crowns and broad brims for the slender neck.
 Slender necks," she says, ''are the aving grace of many women. but it s disastrous to the general ensemble to wear a hat which accentuates this slenderness.
 The hair should be fluffy. or in loose folds, low on the head; and the hat should be either a becoming roll brim affair, or, short back.
 The crown. when heavy or large. makes the slender neck look all wrong the woman dwarfed, so to speak,
 Too small a hat, or one with tightly rolled brim, may have an un- desirable effect-the very small head size will look out of proportion, while the very wide brim will cause the curious to look for the girl who may be hiding behind the screen of hat.
