Carelessness Of the average person
is SO extreme and suicidal that the
tendency is to make life foolproof.
This usually causes resentment among
those who benefit. For instance, traf-

Woolworth building, you are not al
lowed to take a cane or umbrella to

wonder why. Because people use them

The children of other countries know
the best music, of their own compos-
ers, and it is very disappointing to find
that American children and young peo-
pie are more familiar with music of
Italian operas and the compositions of
Dvorak, Grieg and other foreign COM
posers than with those of our own COM
posers. Recently in test it was found
that most young people of high school
age recognized and knew Dvoraks
"Humoresque," "Griegs Morning"
Handel's Largo" Rubinstein's MEL
ody in F." Beethoven's ''Minuet in G."
Paderewski's "Minuet," and many
others, while a very limited few who
were taking piano lessons recognized
the Mcdowell numbers. It is not
necessary, of course, to exclude the
music of foreign composers in order
to know our own, but, says the Design
er, surely campaign should be start
ed in our homes and schools to give
the young people an acquaintance with
the best of our American music.

FARM WOMEN AsTIR

Everybody knows that there is q
fund Of common sense among the farm
women of America too seldom sought
in solving the country's problems.
The Woman's National Foundation
proposes to remedy matters by a de-
liberate campaign to put the farm
wife more completely in touch with
civic betterment and. welfare work.
Working in connection with the exten.
sion work of the Department of Agri-
culture, the foundation will attempt
to make the farm woman an active
force in the club life of the nation,
says the Boston Times. Advices from
the Department of Agriculture keep
the country women Informed as to
modern methods and machinery for do
ing all branches of her work so that
she may have spare time for develop
ment along other lines. The founda-
ton in its turn, will help her to fill
that spare time by leading her to
active participation in public matters
She will be kept in touch through reg
ular bulletins, with all legislation of
especial interest to~her sex, and with
the current news on important topics.
Through the foundation she will be
given a forum in which she will be
encouraged to air her opinions In
eVerV general referendum her advice
will be sought as earnestly as that Of
her city sisters On all questions per-
tanning to public advancement The
. farm women themselves will benefit by
any agency which brings them out of
their shyness and isolation, but the ma
ton will benefit even more by frequent
contact with these thinking,
plain-speaking women. -
