mountains out of molehills, and generally
loses her perspective on things. This is in
evttable, as the only way to get philosoph-
ical slant on our own troubles is to be able
to see how much worse other peoples are,
and this the women cannot do who stay
shut UP in her own two-by-four flat or bun
galow.
It Is well to re member that the men who
have been strongest for the keeping-women-
Iin-the-home idea have always had to have a
large assortment OF wives to get enough va
riety to keep thel interested No one home
staying wife could do it; that explains why
in this country, where polygamy is unfash-
ionable, the more the wife stays at home,
the less apt the husband is to stay with her.
You remember n one Of Shaw's witty
plays how Mortified the bishops wife is be-
cause when Mrs. George, who is of row.
ing nature, returns from her period: ad-
ventures into the great world, Mr.. George
always takes her back, and the George fam
lily explains their attitude towards her by
Saying, "Well, you know, when she gets back
she is always SO entertaining to listen to-
There is wisdom in that. Much is to be
forgiven those with whom we live in daily
companionship If only tLey have something
new to tell us, something interesting to talk
about, for it is the dizziness, the sameness,
the eternal harping on one string that makes
the average home life such an appalling
thing, and marriage an endurance test.
Better is a dinner out of paper bags, and
tin cans, with woman who has heard a
new lecture and is trimming over with fresh
ideas, or who has seen new play that has
thrilled her to the marrow of her bones, and
who has picked up half dozen funny little
stories of things she saw on the street, than
banquet with wife who stews over her
kitchen stove day after day, and who flavors
the meal with querulous complaints, and re-
minds her husband for the millionth time
of some mistake he has made in the past,
and who monologues along about the price
Of butchers meat, and repeats the dreary
gossip of the neighborhood that is an ever
lasting rehash Of the same petty scandal.
If men realized how much more agreeable
women are to live with when they have plen-
ty of change, they would urge their wives not
to miss a bargain sale, or fail to take in a
picture show, instead of herating them for
doing 80. OF course, there is danger of
women OVERRIDING it, and gadding too much,
but better that than staying at home too
much. Like Mrs. George, those who go have
something interesting to talk about when
they get back.

lean countries and expected everyone to talk
English with them. Spanish is not making
rapid progress, however, as an international
language.
The Spread of English
English is, making progress. There are
more than $50, 100000 native English-speak-
ing people today. About 120, 100000 speak
German, and then come Russian and French
with 10000, 900 and $1,000, 900 respectively
Not only is English spoken regularly by
more people than any other tongue, but it
is also widely .poken as a secondary Ian
guage. The Americans and English are not
specialists in languages. The proportion Of
English people who master any language
other than their own Is small. The COM
placent American refuses to spend time on
languages figuring that the foreigners will
learn English.
Because the English-speaking countries
are so important we have been able general
ly to "get away with it," English has become
almost necessity to the foreigner Whether
he is interested in foreign trade, or lives in
little village through which tourists pass,
he finds a, smattering of English necessary.
AS an internationally used language Eng
lish das the advantage of being derived from
both Teutonic and Romance languages. Thus,
it has many words familiar to people speak
ing both types of language, and it is more
acceptable to both than a language entirely
dissimilar to their own would be.

been claimed that an artificial language made
travel easier. The Arnericn finds that almost
anyone who would take the trouble to learn
Esperanto underst inds enough English to
supply his wants.
There remains another field where Esper
anto is advocated. This is for trade and for
communication by airplane and radio. Here,
if anywhere, common language that can be
quickly mastered would be of service. A bet.

cially needed Perhaps here is an opening
wedge for Esperanto, or some other interna-
tional language.
There has been much enthusiasm profess
ed for Esperanto in particular. Esperanto
societies still function. Steps have in several
instances been aiken to put the language
into practical use on an official basis. Peace
advocates at one international convention
officially adopted Esperanto one of the
languages for their meetings. But there
somehow, the project sticks. With all the in
terest aroused, people go on using the old
languages. An experiment with Esperanto for
airplane communication would be interest
ing and might prove Of practical value.

CURIOUS WILLS
By DR.. Frank Crane

A London solicitor gives in the Daily
Mail a list Of curiosities in the way of
wills.
All wills for which probate is granted
in England and Wales are filed in Somer-
set House.
Anyone can inspect them by paying a
small fee but this rule does not apply to
the wills of the king and queen, which are
sealed.
There are many strange and interesting
documents.
Shakespeare's will, with its remarkable
signature. ",
Nelson's will, written in an ordinary ex-
ercise book or copy book, on the eve of
Trafalgar. Towards the conclusion are
these words: 'The enemy are now in
sight,
A soldiers will. through which bullet
has passed without making it illegible.
A portrait of a pretty girl, on which
have to her." AS it was properly signed
by the legator, soldier, and as there were
supplied the necessary affidavitS of iden-
tity, the will was probated.
One will is in shorthand. It is dated
somewhere about 1900, and Pitman did not
invent his system for over hundred years
after that. The testator left a key, however,
and the authorities were able to deci-
pher it.
One will was salvaged from the bottom
of the sea. 1t had been in the water a
long time, but the only damage caused
was shrinkage. 1t was written upon parch-
ment, and was shrunken to a tenth of it's
original size. But it was so carefully writ
ten that it is still clear as print and can
be read easily by the naked eye.
Another will made by a victim Of the
plague, when it was raging in London, was
put in bottle of alcohol and corked, SO
that it would not be suspected of carrying
fatal contagon, and so destroyed.
Still another record. and perhaps the
most cumbersome, Is the leg of a four-poster
bed. The will of an earl had been con-
cealed in it, and as there was some dis
pute over it, the leg with it's huge wooden
castor had to be filed as evidence.
In one of H. Rider Haggard's stories
he describes a will which a father had
tatooed upon the skin Of his daughter s
back.
In no matter are the ways of the law
more tricky than in the matter Of wills
Laws of inheritance and rules governing
the Interpretation Of wills vary in different
nations and in different states Of the union.
Even able lawyers have been known to
make wills that would not stand.
For this reason trust companies are
coming more and more in favor among
testators who desire to make sure that
their property will be disposed Of accord
ing to their wishes.
A trust company, being immortal, and
being scrupulously guarded by the law, Of
fers better security than even the most
trustworthy individual.
While courts as a rule endeavor to as
certain and to carry out the real wish of
the testator, the conflict Of clashing in
terests, taking advantage of every legal
technically. often rends this extremely diff
ficult.

MAN writes me a letter in which he
~ asks me how to keep his wife at
home. He says she Is gadabout who
is forever bargain-hunting, or going to mat
inees, or picture shows, or women's clubs,
or teas instead Of staying put by her own
gas range.
Furthermore, he avows that his ideal wife
is the woman in the home, not woman
who Is running around the streets.
So it is with most men, brother. The old
harem idea dies hard in the masculine
breast Half the meL we know would keep
their wives under lock and key if they dared.
Not because they are afraid Of what the
ladies are liable to do, but because they
have an inherited notion that women should
spend their time behind closed doors, and
they like to know where they can put their
fingers on their spouses at every minute Of
the day.
There isn't one man in thousand who
does not feel aggrieved if his wife isn't at
home, ready to jump to the telephone when
ever he happens to remember to call her up,
nor is there one man in a million who doesn't
feel that he is a prosecuted martyr If his
wife isn't at home to greet him with glad
sweet smile when he returns at night.
This superstition that the closer a woman
sticks to her own fireside the better wife she
lis, and the more she does her duty, is re-
sponsible for a lot Of domestic discomfort.
To begin with, it makes a woman hate her
job to be always on it. You cannot do any
thing in the world, every day, and all day
long, three hundred and sixty-f1ve days a
year, without coming to loathe it, and the
reason that so many women are such poor
housekeepers, and miserable cooks, is be-
cause they are so fed up on eternal home
making that they looF upon their homes as
nothing but jails in which they are doomed
to serve life-sentence at hard labor.
For another thing, the woman who stays
at home all the time gets as narrow as the
four walls behind which she spends her life.
She reduces the whole world down to her lit
tie family circle, and. having nothing else to
think about, she concentrates her every idea
and activity upon her husband and children
until she becomes the most grinding Of petty
tyrants There is no other nagger equal to
the woman who is what is called a home
body.
Worse than all, the woman who always
stays at home becomes unbearably dull and
stupid. Her conversational range is limited by
the kitchen and the nursery,-and she bores
you to death telling you minute details Of
her troubles with the children, and her serv-
ants for housekeeping wives have ever
homely wits.
Having passive interest in life, she makes

Mere Intellect
Senator Borah's recent as
sertion that Lenin is zone of the two

"OUCHING Senator Borah's recent as
sertion that Lenin is zone of the two
or three great intellects produced by
the World War;" the Charleston News and
Courier fifty remarks that while great, in q
sens, the Bolshevist leaders, intellect un-
doubtedly is, yet "Along with its greatness
1t has certain lamentable deficiencies. If
this were not true Russia would hardly be
where she is today-in the deepest and dark
est part of the slough of despond, wretched,
helpless, anguish-stricken, doomed to perish
but for the help of her neighbors"
To be merely an efficient thinking ma
chine without grace of humor and SYM
patty, merely tyrant in battle or business
without richness " character and light Of
soul is to be less than a man and little more
than cunning beast. No work of intellect
alone ever has or ever will survive in the
larger life of mankind or greatly touch
the tides Of history, unless it be for i'll. In
tellect alone sings no song, paints no pic
ture, breathes no prayer, builds no home.
rears no civilization, feels no Immortal
longings."
system of education that produces or
fosters mere intellect is worse than no edu-
cation. It's ultimate harvest will be, if not
the destructive radicalism Of Lenin, q de-
structive pessimism, or a selfshness that
slips insensibly into crime. Instead of fit
ting men and women for human society it
disposes them to be really anti-social, and
as likely as not sends them at last either to-
the penitentiary or the madhouse. Quite
naturally a kultur which was keyed to
Nietzsche found it's final expression in the
catastrophe of 1914.
A wondrous instrument is intellect, and
surprisingly useful if a truly human spirit
guide it. "The flower Of flowers" French
savant calls the Drain, but it's beautiful po-
tentialities may well become baneful weed
if no soul Of fragrance dwell within. The
master-student If human nature, Shakes
peare, puts it supremely well:
within the infant rind Of this weak
flower,
Poison hath residence, and med cine power
For this, being smelt, with that part
cheers each art;
Being tasted, Stays all senses with the
heart
Two such opposed kings encamp them still
In men as well as herbs-grace, and rude
will;
And where the worser is predominant,
Full soon the canker death eats up that
plant"

Where the Profit Lies

in ireland, an industry for which
thai country is peculiarly rich in es-
sential resources, an American observer
writes in the current Commerce Monthly:
"For the most part the stock are raised for
the English market and are exported alive.
But 1t should be possible to export cattle in
a much more profitable form than that Of
animals on the hoof. The fact that all this
live stock is slaughtered abroad means the
loss to Ireland of the profits Of the slaugh-
tering, packing ant related industries, and
of important industries, such as tanning,
which depend upon the meat industry for
their raw material. Moreover, approximate
ly half the cattle exported are in the lean
state, despite the fact that Ireland has some
Of the richest pas ures in the world so that
the profits of preparation for market as well
as those of slaughter are lost"
Georgia may well Londer this example.
Not only live stock, hut also the bulk or prod
ucts from field, mine and forest derive their
chief market value from the labor and skill
that transforms therr from raw materials in
to finished goods This states corn crop OF
some ninety million bushels would have been
worth a vast deal more and could have been
disposed of far m 0re easily had it been con-
verified into sleek porkers, and these in turn
into bacon and hams. The greater portion OF
Georgia's mineral output is shipped as crude
ore to be manufactured at distant industrial
centers which realize all but meager frac-
ton of the profits involved. New England
with scarce .ithe of our resources, has
grown wondrouslT rich by adding art and
labor values to raw material. When we make
the most of our opportunities in this matter
by broadening the foundations of industrial
training and scientific aid no region on earth
will be more PROSPEROUS.

ON THE WING

A wind that b1o~s from the sea. and smells
Of spring and all together,
Runs racing up the yellow fields
Into the autumn weather.
And I run, too, for I am young
And breathless With all living
The trees are shouting as we pass,
The asters singing in the grass.
In half an hundred years from now,
When all my songs are sung,
I'll not be old and GROSSLY sage,
I'll love the bright hill of my age
Unler it's winter sun,
And wave the gayest hand I know
To everything that's young.

"Girls should work for five years, then
marry" declares Professor Power, of the

daughters of rest when she marries and let

Anyway, it can't be denied that girl
should learn to work before taking up the
duties attending matrimony.
