with conditions which should enable us to lead
hygenic lives
The very large number of the labor-saving
blessings of the average American home is re-
sponsible for the dissatisfaction we sometimes
find there. If the members Of the household had
to suffer some of the inconvenience which their
grandfathers and grandmothers endured, they
would learn to be thankful for the many things
which the inventive genius has done for their
comfort and happiness.
It is very easy to underestimate blessing
or to ignore it. Americans as whole ought to
be the most optimistic and thankful people in the
world Providence has blessed us beyond that of
any people in the history of the world. No coun-
try can compare with ours in natural resources
healthful climate, and the myriad of mechanical
devices to tighten labor and provide us with
amusement and recreation.
More of us should let this blessing permeate
our lives, manifestng it by spirit of thankful
appreciation and mutual helpfulness. The drab
and drear should have no place in the American
home because neither natural environment nor
other conditions create such an atmosphere.
If every one would make little inventory
some day of the many factors that contribute to
make his life worth living, he would be surprised
at the astoundingly long list which would greet
his eyes. We forget ignore the things that
make our environment infinitely to be preferred
to that of other countries. Many European
would consider himself prince if he had run
ming water in his home, sewing machine, tele-
phone, sweeper, and the many other things
which we use daily without considering their adj
vantages and benefits in improving the standard
of our living and giving us more time for the
Improvement of our mental and spiritual quail
tiles.

Where the American Home Leads

The American home is unexcelled anywhere
for the comforts and conveniences which it Of
fers to the members of the family who habitate
it, Fewo of us appreciate the helpful environment
of the average American home Those who
have had the opportunity of visiting foreign
country soon realize how far ahead of them we
are in this respect.
Take the telephone, for instance. In the
United States there is telephone for eight per-
sons. Europe has one for every 100 persons.
Few homes in America, rural or urban, that lack
this convenience of quick communication for So
cial and business purposes. The telephone has
become necessity in the American household.
Other time and labor saving devices of the
household economy are just as impressive. Com
pare the number of washing machines, cooking
ranges, sweepers, electric and gas burners and
lights, the infinitely large number of electrical
devices of all kinds, the kitchen cabinets, cleans
ing utensils and the scores of other devices
found in American homes with those to be found
in the average European home, and you will be
forced to conclude that much has been done
here to make life pleasant and to surround us

Boneta Monarch Plays
In University Reuue

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March 15.-
Miss Boneta Monarch, of Richmond,
appeared before large audience at

their lives are tame, they'll tell you
of a checker game that lasted seven
years, with final honors yet to win
and they can't see why you should
grin, nor understand your sneers. Gay
alexis from the crowded marts stop
there for gas to run their carts, and
gaze with high disdain; to live in such
a burg, they've said, when there are
towns that are not dead. is neither
safe nor sane. But Pruneville people,
in their way, seem cheerful, jubilant
and gay, despite the city's jeers; in
their old age they're hale and spry,
they laugh and sleep and seldom die
at less than five score years.

Not only the lines, but also the music.
dances, costumes and scenic effects
were originated and composed by stu
dents, working under the direction of
Charles Hays, veteran stage manager
at the state university.
The big musical revue centered
about the historic Jordan river, which
flows through the university campus,
and dealt with the travels of six super
sleuths through orient and occident in
search of young woman who had
run away from home leaving only the
meager information for her parents
that she was going to college where
the Jordan river flows" The pro-
ceeds from the play, amounting to
more than $500, were turned over to
the Indiana university million dollar
memorial fund. Miss Monarch played
the part Of the soubrette.

Musings for the Evening

DR.. Bridges, the poet laureate of
England, refused to write poem on
the war, which was probably not of
sufficient Importance. He hadn't con-
tributed a poem to the gayety of ma
tons from the war period up to the
time of Princess Mary's wedding. If
he was waiting for a chance. here was
one. The rhyming possibilities present
ed by the average wedding are without
limit. Groom" and GLOOM bride"
and CRIED given and heaven"
honeymoon and spoon" Diaper
and "fiapper," oh, there are thousands
of them. This, indeed, was a chance
for the doc to wake up and shoot
some very high-class poetry out onto
the sound waves for a million radio
phone fans to grab and digest. He
might have manufactured nine or ten
gallons of good poetry on this one
wedding, which we are told is quite an
event for those members of the nobil-
ity who succeeded in getting their du-
cal robes out of the pawnshops in
time. In fact somebody mentioned this
opportunity to the laureate, but hel
sulked in his tent. The divine inspira-

Apparently he doesn't approve of it.
There is only one just punishment
for doc. the poet laureate, for this de-
reelection of duty. He ought to be
forced to trade places with some
American column conductor for one
week In order to trade back he
would be willing to laureate eighteen
hours day and write up everything
from Earl Craven's cork leg to Lloyd
Georges haircut.
