HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My wife is
ways asking me for money. 1t seems
to me give her money every day be-
fore I go to work and I can tell you it
isn't pleasant to be asked all the time.
She says that if I did the right thing
and gave her an allowance out of what
1 make, she wouldn't have to ask me.
She says she has kept track of what
she needs and that she can get along
on $40 a week. 1t seems to me that is
a lot, but when she showed me the
figures I could see that she really
needs that to pay for all the things
she does. What do you think of an
allowance? Do you think it would be
better for my wife and me?
GEORGE.
I am very much in favor of an al
1owance. You may be sure that if it
is disagreeable for you to have Xour
wife ask for money so often, it is
doubIy disa greeable and humiliating
for her to have to ask for money. She
will have her little income out of
which she can spend and save as she
sees fit. I would suggest that you
give her even more than $50 if you
can afford to do so. Doubtless she
has asked for a minimum and it will
mean that she will have to economic
and deny herself in many ways. When
your salary is increased, your wife's
allowance should also be increased in
proportion. am sure that after try
ing out this plan you will be well sat-
isfied and will not be willing to go
back to the old way of meeting a daily
request

these ideals will save our land for a
world-serY1ce beyond our ken.
Beginning at the Bottom.
While this Lesson is being studied
all over the land. in rural crossroads
schoolhouses, and in great city
churches. from the Arctic Circle to the
Gulf of Mexico, and far beyond into
every foreign land, there will be in
session in Kansas City the great Inter-
national Sunday School convention,
with thousands of delegates in at
tendance. They will be considering
the world from the angle of the Sun
day school; and the Sunday school
from the angle of our perplexing
world conditions. All the fundamen-
tails of good government. of world
peace and of better social order, will
come under review.
Their conclusion will be the OBJ
vious one that the nations hope, the
worlds hope, lies in the indoctrina-
ton of the youth of today with the
of Jehovah. Most is being done for
humanity when the boys and girls are
being taught the beautiful will of God.
The work of the Sunday school, it may
be soberly stated, is more important
than that of international confer
ences: because it goes down to the bed
rock of character and shapes the
convictions and conduct which de-
termine the destiny of mankind To
make sure that our land shall avoid
Judah's pitfall, and that it fulfill the
Lords beautiful plans for it, we must
train up our youth in the knowledge
and love of God.

lis is the month Of weddings.

This is the month of weddings.
OF course, a bridegroom cuts little
ice at his own marriage. About the
only reason for his being among those
also present on the occasion is that
he gives an excuse for the wedding,
and the bride, and the bridesmaids,
and flower girl, and general fuss and
flummery.
Perhaps that is the reason that
while everybody loads the bride down
with expert advice about how to play
the matrim oDial game. nobody takes
the trouble to throw even a bone of
good council to the poor bridegroom
Yet he needs a helping hand, as you
will realize If you will recall the ex-
preston on the face of any man as
he comes marching away from the
altar with that bit of tulle, and white
satin hanging on his arm. 1t is look
happy, triumphant, scared. The look
of the cat that ha= just eaten the
canary, and is beginning to wonder
if it is going to set well on its little
tummy.
ask me to slip him a few tips about
how to get along with the angel face
with whom he has just signed up
life contract, should say:
Begin, son, by letting her down
easy. During the time you have been
counting her, you have been feeding
her on sugar plums. You have spent
your time by telling her how wonder
full and beautiful she is. and that your
only aim in life was to make her
happy. Her will has been your law,
and you have never been too tired, or
too busy, to trot her around to any
place of amusement to which she
wanted to go.
OF course. real life cannot be lived
on that kind of joyride schedule, but
slow down gradually. Don't. clamp on
the emergency brake, and stop the
love making with a suddenness that
will jar every tooth in the poor little
brides head. Don't act as so many
reader who could tell that you still
loved her even If you are as dumb as
an oyster and don't make the mistake
of thinking that just being married to
you is fun enough for any woman. 1t
isn't by a long shot. Marriage with
even the best of men needs lot of pal
Iiatives to make it endurable, not to
say enjoyable.
My second tip is be good to her.
Especially be good to her if you have
taken a girl away from her home, and
family and friends to a distant city
in which she is stranger among
strangers. No man can realize the aw-
full loneliness, the heartbreak
a member of a busy, chattering fam
lily, and the center of a gay little social
circle, who is torn up by the roots and
transplanted to an alien soil.
The man is away at his business all
day. The forlorn little bride is left at
home with nothing to do but think her
own dreary thoughts, and wish that
she had stayed at home with mother
and the girls. OF course. it hurts
your vanity to find your wife sodden
with tears, and to realize that she has
not been perfectly happy, just waiting
excitedly for your return in the eve
ming, but try to understand the situa-
ton. Be extra patient and tender
with her and for heavens sake get
her something to do that will occupy
her mind and her hands, and take her
thoughts away from herself.

estimated to about balance the reduc-
ton in income caused by the lower
freight rates.
The general public is interested in
the action taken by both the interstate
commerce commission and the United
States labor board, as it is the evident
purpose of both these federal bodies
to inaugurate a downward movement
in the cost of all commodities.
The cost of transportation largely
controls the price of all commodities.
Until freight rates, passenger rates
and railroad wages are reduced 10
something like normally, it is impos-
sible for prices to become normal.
These are the facts in the railroad
situation which is now progressing to-
ward a crisis with labor.

THE CARPET ON THE STAIRS.
Let others sing in modern ways. it's Joy

To sing in good Old-fashioned rhyme the
days that used to be.
The page Of boyhood's scribbled full with
things we used to do,
The fun we had, the games we played, the
little tasks knew,
And back to mind there comes today the
hardest of cares.
That sprinRtime job of putting down the
carpet on the stairs
Housecleaning time meant weary legs and
hands and aching backs
For no more tedious job there is than
driving carpet tacks-
Then mother told what to do, and on
our hands and knees
We stretched and hauled and pulled and
tugged and did our best to please;
But, OH 1 well remember now one task
which patience wears.
That awkward, muscle straining job of
carpeting the stairs.
We'd start upon the topmost step and let
the carpet roll.
But then began f. feat Of strength to try
the bravest soul
The corners must be folded so and stretch

With mother watching every move as down
the stairs we backed;
And many a time we've reached the end,
discovering there and then
1t wouldn't do at all that way and must
be laid again.
No more we break our finger nails and set
In stretching carpets on the floors, no
more our muscles tire.

exactly fitted her genesis. We wrote

President James Rowland Angel of
Yale in his baccalaureate address to
the graduating class this year said;
ut can hardly be doubted that IN the
United States at least the violation of
law has never been so general nor so
widely condoned as at present. This
is a fact which strikes at the very
heart OF our system Of government,
and the young man entering upon his
active career must decide whether he
too Will condone and even abet such
disregard of law, or whether he will
set his face firmly against this course.
The effect upon his own character of
the decision which he makes. as well
as upon the community in which he
lives. is of the most critical impor-
lance While the doctor did not mem
ton it specifically. probably he had
the prohibitory law in mind.

FASCINATING STORY TOLD
IN THE INVISIBLE FEAR
STARRING ANITA STEWART

Anita Stewart in "The Invisible
Fear" First National attraction,
will appear at the Lyric theater to-
day and tomorrow. Because of the
large following of the star and the
fact that 1.-THE Invisible Fear has
been proclaimed one of the best
pictures of the year, Manager
Scott is making elaborate prepara-
tons for handling large audiences.
The play is from the pen OF
Hampton Del Ruth, and the seem
ario was prepared by Madge Ty-
rome. Edwin Carewe, one of the
foremost directors in the motion
picture industry, welded the mega
phone. The cast includes such
we'll knows actors and actresses as
Walter McGrail, Alan Forrest,
Hamilton Morse, Estelle Evans, Ed
ward Hunt, ogden Crane and
George Kuwa.
One Of the tense situations in the
production shows Miss stewart as
sylvia Langdon, under the hypnotic
spell of Arthur Comstock, who had
been one OF her suitors before her
marriage to Bentley Arnold. untl
his temperance Sylvia had
thought Comstock dead, having
seen body which she believed to
be his. being consumed by flames
in burning cabin.
For years she had been the vic
tim OF the invisible fear" and the
shock Of his appearance in the flesh
proved too much. Under his hyp-
motto spell, she opened a wall safe
in the home Of her uncle and hand
ed the valuables it contained to
Comstock. And then the climax
hits.
