HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Jearnal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

r. Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband
is so years old and I am %. We have
been married only five months and
already acting like an old man
when still feel very young and want
to do things as we used to-
Before we were married he took
me everywhere and I never had such
a good time as then. He loved to
dance and go to the theater and play
cards. We had a little card club
which I enjoyed more than anything
else. Now he wants to drop out OF
the club and he never takes me to
dances or the movies. At night when
he comes home from work he wants
to go to sleep or sit and read without
talking. You can imagine how I'M
happy this makes me.
How can I make my husband act
as young as he did before we married?
H. G. It.
You are paying the price of marry
ing a man so much older than your
self. Perhaps you can-make him see
how hard it is for you to give up your
young life and make a compromise.
Do not urge him to go places night
after night. You might find 1t help
full to have certain night when he is
willing to do what you want to do.
Probably he would be willing to stay
in the card club il he felt he wouldn'
be tezsed to go TO dances and shows
the rest of the time. He certainly
owes one or two nights a week to you
and should take you away from home
on such occasions If you talk tic
him about this, choose a tactful Time
when he is in good humor and. seems
to want to please YOU

Daily Talk
EXPRESSION,

Expression IS the noblest achieve
ment in life. To let the world know
who and what you are-in all the
sincerity and genuineness that you
have-this alone is the fine achieve
ment.
But merely to leaf and bud, as the
flower, and then wither without Civ
ing away beauty or fragrance, this is
tragedy. And this is what casts shad-
ows across the world to cloud its blue
sky.
1t is better, by far, to express your
self honestly and be misunderstood
than not to express yourself at all.
Only those who dare and do live on
You who inspire others must of
necessity live an inspiring life, wrap
ped in an experience of beauty
knowing sorrow as well as happiness.
+ I have great sympathy for the Gagged
heart with a pulsating soul within it
longing for the freedom of contact,
interchange and peace. For only as
we find our own are we able to rest,
relax and grow.
The wild flower fascinates me. I sit
down in the mesh of dead leaves and
soil to talk with a friend so rare. 1t
is little Bluebell. Its tiny body and
royal dress stand out so free and glad.
And whether the visitor ever comes or
not, it minds not. Content is it to
breathe out its beauty fully-and then
to join it's own friends of other sum-
mers, and with its whithered ashes
to give nourishment to BluebeHs yet
unborn.
Expression isn't necessary out in the
big crowd or where many may look
on-perhaps in criticism-but where
the heart may rise and fall in feeling,
and just be happy.
One of the reasons for the death
lessness of poets is that they live by
expression. Dreams woven into deeds
and made golden along threaded
words.
1t was Carlyle who once wrote that
"a true poet, man in whose heart
resides some effluence of wisdom,
some tone of the eternal melodies, is
the most precious gift that can be be-
slowed on a generation
Only the gifted few may be poets
in expression. But all of us may be
poets in feeling and appreciation.
Z Just keep the windows of your heart
house open and the door flown wide
so that you may see and walk out into
the great outside world, and daily in
vite it to come in"

has never been printed. SO far as ]
know. In some respects 1T parallels
the Esther story. During the Wash
ington conference, last winter, 1t was
common report among those IN the
inner circles that the japanese dele
cation was made up of Hberals-which
certainly was true-chosen by the en-
press of Japan herself
Her majesty, SO runs the tale, wa
deeply concerned over the recent
rapid growth of democracy and radt-
calism in Japan. So ominous were
the mutterings that she really feared
for the future of the imperial house.
Naturally, she wanted to keep her son
and his descendants on the ancient
throne; and the only way she could
do this was by thwarting the reac-
tionary and imperialistic projects OF
the military and Naval clique, and by
aligning Japan with the worlds new
tendencies toward peace and democ-
racy. Therefore the delegation to
Washington was a liberal one; and
therefore its real head. Admiral Baron
Kato, has since become premier; and
Japan has given repeated proof of her
sincere purpose to carry out, in letter
and in spirit, the Washington agree
ments. Such is the power of a shrewd
sand years ago and today.
Politically, Esther has come to the
kingdom for the present crisis. In
the Orient, and especially in the Near
East, DIS WSlA DIS All L1uAOPO anu &NOL III
America, woman has>entered upon an
era of new power. Politicians are
frantically trying to corral 1.-The
woman vote; but in vain; for thou
sands of years woman's chief concern
has been with ideals and with re-
ligion and with human welfare. She
is not going to change her mind all of
a sudden now that she may put her
ideas into effect. AS of old the selfish
ness and vanity of xerxes, and the
cruel plots of his courtiers, threaten
ed a deluge of blood. and were
thwarted by Esther's courage and
loyalty, so today the stupidities and
blunders and selfishness of poll
ticians are likely to be nullified by the
simple faith and clear devotion of
women, who think first of human
values and of the Divine will. AL
ready, as a result, we have seen more
than one political Hannah gibbeted on
his own gallows.
Certain womanly qualities whose
place is in the home''-which in
Esther's day meant in the harem-
have boldly moved out into the throne
room of government. In that por-
tentous fact some of US see the end of
such pogroms as have hitherto been
visited upon the Jews and Armenians
and Assyrians; and the ending of the
ages-old era of war and greed and
cruel and crafty craftsmanship of
the materialistic sort. Surely, there
is Divine Providence in the political
emancipation of women at the very
hour when humanity is most i'm
periled.

The dispatches indicate that the

tion. Following a settlement and the
resumption of mining. it is expected
that the president will appoint a COM
mission TO go exhaustively into the
economic ills of the coal industry. and,
IL has been intimated, the commission
will be nonpartisan. This is a deter
mination against which the mine
workers may be expected to throw
their weight, as organized labor is al
