Richer ~, Dollars and Sense


~ ECRETARY HOOVER'S estimate that
the elimination Of preventable waste
in the building industry alone would
save the country a hundred million dollars
year tempts one to go on imagining how
vast the gains would be IL all industries
and all pursuits were included. What if coal
were mined, and power produced, and fac
tories conducted to avoid unnecessary
waste? What if the soil were titled and its
products marketed upon that same basis?
What if the minutes and hours of human
life now utterly frittered away were turned
to profit?
One hundred million dollars is no plea
yunish sum-, But it would be to the total Of
these economies what raindrop is to all the
rivers of the earth or grain of sand to the
shores of all the seas. If merely 1.-THE of
our wasted food were saved, it would feed
bountifully the worlds hungry multitudes.
If only half the needless inefficiencies of our
economic order were cancelled, then indeed
could poor mems cottages be princes pal
aces" and the lowliest shepherds crook
command a scepter's purchase.
This side of Already or the Millennium we
probably shall not actualize such dreams.
But if we can make even modest start
toward turning Mr.. Hoover's estimates into
results, we shall be abundantly rewarded,
not simply by increase of chattels but chief
ly by the tang or the adventure 1tseIL anu
the delightful discoveries to which will
continually lead. Frugalness is a useful viz
tue, but hardly an engaging one, which fact
goes far to explain the popularity of Robert
Louis dictum: "It is better to spend life like
a prodigal than to hoard it like a miser."
Suppose, however, that the negative appeal
of not wasting be TRANSPORTED into the posi-
tive one of utilizing and creating; suppose
that nation and household and individual
come to understand that it is incomparably
more interesting to conserve and be resource
full than to squander and be stupid, would
we not then be richer in dollars--and in
sense?

FEBRUARY
By DR.. Frank Crane

Gall things are not what they seem,' sang
Little Buttercup, and we agree with her as
heartily as the chorus
Particularly when we think of February.
February is the shortest month in the year,
only it is not. 1t just seems so. Really it is
the longest month.
1T drags. 1t never gets done.
1t is the last of winter. Winter was all right
in December, with it's seigh-bellS and Christ
mas Time; but along about February, when it is
slush and influenza, it gets on our nerves.
1t is like bore who will not so away.
1t is like the woman caller who stands at the
door and talks half an hour after she has said
goodbye.
It is like the last third of the parsons ser
mon, which goes on after he has had many a
splendid opportunity to quit.
1t is like the last few sticks in the cord of
wood, which everyone knows are the hardest
to saw.
It. is like paying off mortgage after the
house has burned down.
1t is like the last year of the war.
1t is like old age when one has lost interest
in everything.
| never knew anyone who liked February.
1t is nothing but month.
1t contains WaShington'S Birthday and LII
coins, and Saint Valentines Day. And once
every four years it contains an extra day.
But that is all that can be said for it.
All other seasons have their delights Any
body can be good in Spring, when the grass is
greening and flowers preening. And Summer is
the time for holidays and loafing And Autumn
is rich in fruits. And Winter has its keen de-
lights. But February is just-bla.
The little runt makes a feeble effort to be
funny by bringing around Leap Year once every
four years, and giving the old maids chance.
But have never noticed that it did them much
good. Before they learn how to use il, they
are too old.
Besides this it messes up the calender. 1t has
two days less than any other month most of the
time, but we cannot even depend upon that,
for every once in while i has only one day
less.
Somewhere, l suppose in the wise counSelS
of destiny, February has its purpose. But as
far as mortal mind can see, it is only just
another thing to be lived through-lke the
measles or the Schicken-pox.

THE SELF-DEFRAUDED
By H. Addington Bruce

ATOBODY likes TO be trcked or defrauded
N by another person. Many people are moi
merely indigant, but are moved to imme-
diate and severe repriSalS if cheated out OF
even small sum of money.
Yet among those same people you will find
not few who all the while, with the utmost
compacency, cheat themselves out OF what is
worth far than any amount of money of
which they may be swindled.
There are many, for example, who cheat
themselves out of happiness by the strangely
selfish lives they lead.
Day in and day out they seem to be ac-
tuated by the motive myself alone" And be-
cause their selfiShness alienateS others from
them, they presently discover that their lot in
life is, by its soltariness peculiarly In keep
ing with the myself alone motive they have
permitted to govern their behavior
Forced finally to appreciate that they are
quite without friends, miserably unhappy,
they perhaps rail bitterly against fate. But fate
is not to blame. The fault rests with them
selves, it has its roots in their self-fraudulent
egoiSm.
Among the self-fraudulent, too, are those
numerous folk who look upon work as curse
and idleneSS as a blessing.
Idleness might be blessing If men were not
born into this world with in instructive urge
to do to accomplish, to create and achieve. The
more fully they comply with this urge, the
Va
life
Consequently, when they set themselves
against compliance, they actually rob them
selves of something very precious to them
They may, into the bargain, bring upon Them
selves grave evils.
For today it is known that nervous and men,
tai disorders, even serious bodily ailments, often
are directly or indirectly the products of idle
ness. When these disorders \and ailments do
develop there is again tendency to rail against
fate. But again persistent cheating of self is
the true explanation.
And often the only effective cure is to con-
quer the self-frauduent habit of idlng. AS
many wise physician, in these days Of
psychological enlightenment, frankly informs
those among his patients who have thus come
to grief.
Self-fraud, once more, is plainly in evidence
in the case of all who act as though they have
completely forgotten that they have minds to
take care of as we'll as bodies.
Luckless Self-Swindlers of this sort, however
carefully they may nourSh their bodies, pro-
vide next to no nutriment for their minds. The
time afforded them for mental nouriShing they
spend in mere pleasure-seeking, always in
pleasure-seeking, and perhaps in pleasure-Seek-
ing of a vulgar, vicious sort. -
But their starved minds take revenge for the
deprivation.
Boredom is the lghtest penalty they enforce.
They enforce it unfailingly. Yet seldom do the
victims of the boredom appreciate that the
discomfort il causes is punishment self-fraud
has drawn upon them.

Editorial Echoes

There was plenty of law in the District Of
Columbia to make the roof of any theater
doubly safe; the recent tragedy was due
probably to Indifferent law enforcement The
building laws are likely to be adequate al
most everywhere, but what of the inspectors
whose duty 1t is to have the laws obeyed?
Throughout America the weak point is not
the lack of law, but the lack of enforcement
In the lynching belt the most unpopular man
is the rare sheriff who prevents a lynching
and vindicates the law. He fails to be re-
elected. A prohibition agent strictly en-
forces the prohibition statute and gets
promptly fired" factory inspector makes
himself a nuisance to manufacturers, who
contribute to the party funds, by poking
around their mills, so he gets transferred or
denoted.
Naturally, there are plenty of lynchings in
America and he sheriffs prefer not to shoot
Inevitably the excursion steamer Eastland,
tied to Chicago pier, rolled on her side few
years ago and one thousand persons were
drowned like rats in Lake Michigan. And
SO it was no accident" that the roof of the
Knickerbocker theater in Washington crash
ed in with only two feet Of snow to carry. and

Also Suffers. Y. p!

A CCORDING to reports from London
n the g-your-own-supper" arrange
ment at dances is an established Gus
tom and is growing in popularity.
Bring something for supper" is a request
not infrequently found after the formal en-
craving of a dance invitation, it is said.
''The first time I received a dance card so
inscribed, I thought it was a joke" confesses
the correspondent. However, I thought
enough about it to ring up my hostess-and
found it was no joke at all.
"She said that young people for some time
had been practicing the plan. 1t does away
with the expense of professional caterer
makes things pleasantly informal, and last
but by no means least it keeps the guests
from feeling too much under obligation to
any particular hostess whose house may be
especially convenient for dancing parties, so
that the crowd likes to gather there once
or twice a week."
When the guests arrive they find long
table spread and equipped with small plates,
forks and spoons. The rule is that nothing
shall be provided that cannot be served con-
veniently with this simple outfit.
Each guest places on the table his or her
contribution to the good cheer. A single
maid can easily unpack and arrange all the
comestibles, and lend hand at serving when
suppertime comes.
At one dance, says this correspondent, the
assembled guests all "chipped i'm for an ice
cream freezer, to be used subsequently for
'the gang"

BY Dorothy Dix

The man who tells you that he has never
loved before is rather dying out, and now ne
tells that fairy tale only to debutanteS. He IS
aware that older women know better, and be-
sides, few women care for amateur love-mak-
ing, anyway.
Then there is the masculine flirt whose strong
suit is his sins. He talks darkly and roman"
tically of desperate past. He never had
mother or sister, but If he only had your angel
influence he feels that he could lead the higher
life.
Heaven alone knows why, but the idea of
making reformatory of herself is irresstably
alluring to woman, and this kind of man is
fascinating to pious girls They send him
good books, and embroider texts for his room,
and sometimes it hurts their innocent little
heart when they find out that forty-Seven other
girls are also acting as mother confessor to
him.
The cleverest masculine flirt is the platonic
flirt He is an artist where other men are
bunglers. After having virtually served notice
on you that his attentions are without inte1-
ton, it leaves him free to be as sentimental as
he pleases, and he generally pushes his priv
ilegeS.
He talks of souls instead of hearts, but it
comes to the same thing He tells you that he
relies on your judgment and is guided by your
Intelligence, and that you alone comprehend his
woman like being thought capable of an exalted
friendship, but if she is wise she passes up the
platonc brand.
The married flirt always has secret sor-
row that he confides to you the second time
you meet him. His wife never understands him.
She is dull and proSaic creature, while he is
all soul, and then he looks tenderly into your
eyes and says dreamily, g"What heaven life
would have been if l had only met you in
timel"
The married flirt is only dangerous to young
and sympathetic girls The woman of expert
ence has met him and heard the tale before.
And so the merry little game of filtration
goes gayly on Sometimes people are hurt?
Oh, perhaps, not often. There's nothing else
quite so elastic as the human heart.

THE CHILD'S HEART.
BY DIR. R. II. BISHOP

1t is often the case that children may de-
velop a severe general infection following
close on acute tonsilitis. Adults, too NAV
become victims of the same infection.
This ailment may show itself by painful
swelling of the joints and so-called acute
articular rheumatism and in some instances
the lining of the heart and the heart valves
also are infected.
After a prolonged sickness the child ap-
parently RECEIVERS, but second examination
of the heart will show that the heart muscle
is weak and the valves are rough and do
not close correctly. Hence the pump or the
heart, is working at disadvantage.
Such happening usually comes at crit
ical time in. childes life. He is tired of be-
ing kept indoors by sickness AMI wants to
romp and play.
But if he tries to keep up with the other
children in their strenuous games, he puts
a severe strain on his heart muscle. The
usual result of such strain is that there
will develop a permanent valvular defect in
the heart that will in all probability shorten
life.
There is but one way to prevent all this
1t is by enforced rest over long period of
normal busy household, especially if there
are other healthy youngsters
Such cases require the utmost care in
handling and frequent advice from the fam
lily physician. If properly treated, even bad
ly damaged heart valves return to practi-
cally normal state.
Every acute Infection especially every
case of tonsilitis, should be considered Sc
rious, and the heart should be pronounced
well before the child is allowed to take up
it's normal neue Of life again.

Hot Volcano


An end has been put to the thrilling sport
of sliding upon goatskin down 5000 feet
of the snow-frozen slope Of Mount Popocate-
petl. For the first time within the memory
of living men the perpetual snow upon the
top of the mountain has been melted by the
rising volcanic fires.
The dangers of the ascent Of this peak are
now so great that an order has been issued
prohibiting any person from attempting this
feat unless authorized to do so for the pur-
pose of scientific research. The snow-capped
of Mexico, while here at Amecameca, at the
foot of the volcano, the ever-present white
mantle has always been regarded as fx-
ture of the landscape. 1t was with startling
suddenness that the snow was melted. It dis
appeared within few days and roaring tor.
rents of water poured down the arrows.
So intense is the heat upon the upper slopes
Of the mountains that the abandonment OF
the government observation station lat Tia
macas is imminent, it is stated. From the
crater column of smoke pours almost con-
stantly. It is accompanied occasionally by
outbursts of ashes and gas clouds.
It is nearly 500 years since there was a
violent outburst of Mount Popocatepetl. In
1880 an eruption caused great damage and
miles around. Following this outburst the
volcano was quiet until 1910, when it again
became active. In that year ashes from the
crater reached Huaxacingo, Quetlaxcompan,
Tapeaca, Chululu and Tlavcalan, burning
vegetation and trees and causing heavy dam
age. Natives in these towns are again prepar-
ing after centuries for a violent eruption,
Scientists have warned them for months that
the smoking mountain was about to break
forth again. ..xa@s

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT
WORD?
1tS-CURFEW.

America across the Atlantic. But before that
voyage on the Mayflower this word made
shorter if quite as rough sea-trfp across the
English Channel. For the land of its birth is
France. ,
In France "curfew" was known as "couvre-
feu"-cover-fire. William the Conquerer made
it part of the feudal system of England by
requiring his subjects to put out all lights and
HE them to bed
This call of "ightS-out"-as it is known in
military lam the Conquerer en-
forced as a symbol and reminder of the serv-
itude of the people whom he had conquered.
The curfew bell is still rung in England
I'd other countries in Europe, and even in
some communities in America, as a signal to
the young to retire from the streets.

THE MALE FLIRT

TT is reported that the reformers are going
to put the lid down good and hard on all
- filtration. Especially are masculine flrtS
TO be abolished. The man who stands on the
street corner, and oggles every passing skirt
will find the Jail yaWning for him, and as for
the he-vamp, there will be something with boil
ed oil in it for him.
The suppression of the male flirt is supposed
to be done for the protection of women, but 1
have little knowledge of my sisters If they
will thank any one for protecting them against
love- making, real or spurious.
What encouragement is there going to be for
a woman to put in couple of hours waving
her bobbed hair, and attiring herself in her knee
SKIRT and her best handmade complexion, if no
rowing eye on the street is to be permitted to
follow her with admring look in it7 What
is filtration but bite of the forbidden apple
to women, and what is life going to be with
out it! Cinders, ashes, and dust.
After all, the masculine frt is not as red
as he is painted, nor as dangerous as he is
supposed to be. Leaving out of discussion
the street masher, who is after all only a
menace to those women who are deliberately
seeking temptation, the men who play at love-
making divide up into certain types so familiar
that any woman with grain of intelligence in
her recognizes each at sight.
The most familiar is the universal frt. He
starts out with the primitive idea that the way
to entertain woman is to make love to her,
just as you would shake rattle at baby. His
theory is good but he lacks discrimination in
applying it. In time he gets to be too glib
with his story. Besides, no woman cares to be
admired by man who admires every other
woman.
The thing that goes to her head is the illu-
sion that she has captured a citadel that every
other woman has Stormed in vain.
The universal flirt'S brother is the love-at-
first-Sight man. You meet him two minutes
before he takes you in to dinner. On the way
to the table he tells you that he was thrilled by
your appearance the moment he entered the
room.
Between the soup and the fish he confdes in
you that you are the ideal for whom he has
been searching through all these weary years,
and before you get to the entrees you are
assured that you have inspired deathlesS pas
sion. This is too sudden. Still, there are
women vain enough to believe anything
