The ideal home is whore tho man

pastor OF Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church said yesterday adding that II
st. Paul had been writing the first
epistle 10 the Corinthians In the
United States Of America he Would
never have penned the words of the

which states "the head Of woman is

DIR. HUBBARD on GAMBLING.
lie Says Stock Specializing Is ms Bad
as Betting ON Horse Races.

Rev. Carlisle Hubbard. pastor Of st.
paul's M. ~. Church, preached to
large congregation last night on the
subject, Tho Man Who Took Jesus
at His WSd." lie exprewsed the
view that the buying Of stocks on
margin and the selling OF chances Is
equally as bad, n not worse. than
gambling on horse racing. He said
marginal stock epeculating is gam
bling but seems to be more fashion
able than the more general form Of
betting on the races.
DR.. Hubbard spoke Of tho apparent
carelessness of parents regarding the
religious life OF their children. He
said they do not try TO fit them for
religion. Christian character is a
matter of growth and of development"
he said. "and It takes timo to build up
n good Christian character"

500 900 900 FOR BUTTONS.
The United States Consu mes 1O,.
OOO, 900 900 q Year.

The people Of the United States pay an
average of 100000, 900 year for but
tons and have sent Sl8,000,0O0 worth
abroad since the beginning Of the war.
The history OF the button inlthe United
States, since the war cut of our chief
source OF foreign buttons, drawn princi-
pally from Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary, is, says the National City Bank,
one of great activity in home pro-
duction and expectation. In the year
before the war the value of the button
production Of this country was S20, ,000.-
600, while census statement recently
announced shows the value of the out
turn of button factories in 1919, the
latest census year, $4,000, 900 and ex-
perts in that industry estimate that the
sum paid by the Final consumer in
! the United States WAS about 0000,-
600. The total number of buttons
turned out by the factories of the United
States in 1919 is stated by ( he census at
81, 1913, 900 gross, or equivalent to prac-
tically 10000, 100000 buttons.
Besides this big total of more than
| $40. .000, 900 worth of buttons supplied to
the home market by our manufacturers, 4"
continues the bank, "they have rapidly
expanded their sales abroad. Prior To
the war the value of the buttons cx-
ported from the United States averaged
little more than half "A million dollars
a year, but with the chief European but.
| ton manufacturers, Germany and Aus
trial Hungary, cut of f.from the out side
world the foreign demand upon tn,
United States was greatly stimulated
and the value OF our exports Of this clas
of manufacture jumped from little Owe
n half million dollars in 1914 to 81 800,
600 in 1913. s.. 1000, 600 in 1916, 50, 500,

WINDOW DISPLAYS
NOW WORKS OF ART
Much Study, Time and Good
Taste Are In
volved.

Very few persons who gaze Mt the clab-
orate display of the greatest stores have
any idea Of the amount Of time, study
and labor which enters into the prepara-
ton of such decorations, says Howard
l.. kratz, head decorator of one OF the
largest commercial institutions in the
country.
This is an age of decoration" said
Mr.. Kraty," land in the last twenty-five
years or SO the art or science, whichever
YOU prefer to call it, has completely evolu-
lutionized.. In that time it has made
tremendous strides in the development
of artistic treatment by those who
prepare the decorations, and at the same
time it has had an equally great II
silent effect in the education OF the
public along the same lines.
The day when q few rticles OF mer-
chandise can be put into awindow merely
on the chance that some one who wants
TO buy those particular objects and will
see them and enter the store To buy them
has gone, never to return. The decora-
tor today must know every essential
detail of the subject which he is treating,
and sometimes an immense amount OF
study is demanded before it can be
treated either effectively or intelIigently
There have been four distinct periods
in the history of window decoration.
These come within time limit of not
much more than quarter of century
The first of these might be known rs the
'checsrcloth period, in which color was
the n n thing sought. 1t is called that
because the color background was nearly
always constructed of checsecloth. In,
objects to bc displayed were placed II
front of this background, and as The
work was then in the early stages of 1T
| development, there was not always very
much thought gwen as to the mos
effective manner OF display
This was Immediately followed by The
/ 'staff-and-plaster' period, which was the
time of ornate decoration. Rooms were
! constructed in tho windows by mcan
of plaster. and the ornatcncSs of th
decoration was in time carried to'eNces
and the scheme fell of its own weight
! Then came the third or electrical
period, when nearly all the effects wer
obtained Ivy means of electric lighting
This was very effective for a time
hut the work of the decorators ha'
been constantly growing better and ther
was a distinct tendency toward fine
work and much more detailed knowl
edge of the subjects TO he treated. Thi
involved research and consequently
less frequent changing of the displays am
led the way directly to the present pcrlo
which VIC term the classical
This feature about which ! havo jus
spoken, the demand for greater know
edge of the subjects chosen and tho II
sistence upon absolute accuracy are th
outstanding characteristics of the prescr
j. dav work Of window display. In our ow
store the combined length of the 'hulks
as We call the spaces To be decorated,
more than a mile, and as the displa
is changed once week in every one {
them,it is easily seen that great amour
of thought and labor is involved.

NOT AN EASY OCCUPATION
Deep.Sea Diver May With Much Truth
Be Said const antyy to "Walk
With Death"

How does a deep.sea diver feel
when he puts on his diving suit? Capt.
@. A. w. Monckton tells us in "Some
Experiences Of a New Guinea Resi-
dent Magistrate" that the feeling is
by no means pleasant. T.,
The moment the face glass Is
screwed tight, he says, and the air
pump begins to work, the diver feels
that he has grievance. AS: he de-
cends the feeling becomes more posi-
tive until he is In a fury of rage
against everyone in general and usual
~ against one person In particular.
At the bottom he spends much of his
time wondering how soon the dress
can be taken off so that he can injure
the person against whom he has the
imaginary grievance. However, the
moment the face glass is removed,
and the diver breathes the ordinary
air, the bad temper leaves him, and
he wonders what caused his anger.
The Divers greatest danger is that
Of being drowned when he Is on his
way to the surface. After time, it
seems, the best Of diving dresses be-
comes leaky, and the water that finds
it's way through the seams settles
round the feet and the legs; divers
become accustomed to having their
dresses filled with water up to the
knees and even to the thighs. How
ever, when a diver who has water in
the bottom of his suit is being hauled
to the surface he may involuntarily
or accidentally allow his body to be-
come horizontal, and If he does so
the water at once rushes into his
helmet, stands him on his head and
browns him.-Youth's Companion.
