STATUS OF THE COAL STRIKE-By Frederic j. Haskin

outs, none under which the miners and OPP
orators can be compelled to arbitrate their
differences, and none requiring the accept
ance of terms OF settlement proposed by the
government or any outside agency. The
state of Kansas has law aimed to accom-
plish these ends, but it has not been demon
strated complete success state meas
ure and, of course, it offers no solution for
the national problem. .
It is peculiar situation. Sooner or
later a strike of this proportion must work
hardship or possibly disaster to somebody.
The strikers and their families will be re-
duced to suffering and want. The operators
and investors in mine properties will suffer
financial losses that may prove serious. Other
industries will be handicapped or crippled by
fuel shortage, eventually the general public
will have to pay more for its coal and find it
difficult or impossible to obtain the needed
supply. Still nothing can be done to avert
these unpleasant results of a labor contro-
versy. It must become sufficiently serious for
everybody concerned to be actively interested
in having it ended before action can be taken
to bring that about. In this case there can
be no such thing as locking the barn before
the horse Is sto'en, or, to change the figure,
the fire must be permitted to get under such
Roadway as to be actually destructive before
the fire department can be called out and
put to work.
BY the time this essential public sentiment
has been aroused all questions as to the merit
or justice OF the SLanQ taken Dy the miners
or their employers will have been lost sight
of. The public will not care which side is
right on the numerous issues in dispute. All
it will be interested in will be in getting
normal supply of coal under approximately
normal conditions and prices. The inevitable
result Of this, according to economists and
industrial experts will be a settlement that
is in the main compromise, that will be &C
ceptable to neither side, and that will leave
the real problem Of the coal industry as far
as ever from solution.
Railroad Case Handled Differently
When a great railroad strike was threat
end last fall, and actually called for October
81, it was not necessary to dilly-dally along
until the calamity had actually occurred or
until somebody was hurt. Thanks to the la
Dor provisions of the transportation act, it
was possible to handle that case differently.
The railroad labor board, through Ben w.
Hooper, then vice chairman, and now chair
man of that body, took hold of that situation
and succeeded in bringing about the recall
of the strike order. There was no Interrupt
ton Of traffic on the railroads of the country,
and at no time was 1t suggested that the pub
lie should sit back and watch railway en-
ployes and railway management fight few
rounds.
AS a matter of fact the strike could not
have been prevented If the workers had been
determined to go through with it, for the
law does not forbid strikes and there is no
known way Of forcing men to stay on the
job when they are dead set on leaving It.

Dande7;on An Out1a1D

IT. HE prohibition commissioner now has
banned the cheerful and buoyant dan
delon-on it's blonde physiognomy as
innocent and optimistic sample of flora as
may be found.
While it may be banned ostensibIy as be-
ing neither fruit, flower nor vegetable-and
certainly the florist and the market-gardener
agree in these matters-the real reason for
the action of Commissioner Haynes is that
the sprfghtly dandelion has been used as the
basis of fermentable decoction with a kick
in it; the dandelion at last has found out how
to roar if not to shake it's name.
Well, one thing is certain-the generous
souls who have been apprehensive of the ex-
tinction Of the CHEEKY, o1d-fashioned bloom
since it became popular among the by no
means negligible home-brewing populace now
may feel relieved.
The countryside will bloom again and glow
with gold Golf courses will supply no more
seductive side lines for caddies, who may
once more devote what attention they can
muster to the search for lost balls-supposng

Golfers once more will experience pang
after pang of anguished disappointment,

nothing but dandelions gone to fluff.
And the prohibition officers may add a

Around the World
Tri- Weekly Mems Flashes From All Over
the Earth.
LEARN ENGLISH

Maurice Donnay, French author and
academician, who has just returned from an
official mission to America in connection
with the Moliere Tercentenary, deplores what
he describes as the lack OF means at the
disposal of Frenchmen and Americans to
reach better understanding OF each other.
Enthusiastic about everything seen during
this short first visit, and quite decided to
return to the United States at the first OPP
portunty, M. Donnay urges his countrymen
to learn English and read English. THAT
is the great lesson brought back from visit
which was too short in order to learn very
much about America, but sufficient to ap-
preciate the greatness of the country"
M. Donnay also thinks many Americans
are not sufficiently informed about the
French, and though they have, perhaps,
wrong views concerning the French attitude
toward international questions today.
Asked whether Americans in his opinion
understood Moliere, M. Donnay replied: DO
YOU think all Frenchmen understand him?
The comprehension Of masterpieces apper-
tains in all countries to the restricted elite.
There exists an American elite which I'M
doubtedly is very numerous, no less cultured
and comprehensive than ours and perhaps
possesses more spontaneous understand
ing"

RULES FOR RULING A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

OF course, every married man knows that
| there are no infallible rules for ruling a
woman.
But every bachelor THINKS he knows a
few, and never hesitates to whisper them
into the poor innocent June bridegroom s
ear.
Here they areas far as have been able
to gather them.
1. Start right Guard your independence
with your life Never humor wife by ex-
planning why you are going out or when you
are coming back. After she has spent few
hours trying to keep the dinner hot, and pic
turing you mangled by taxicab, think what
a thrill it will give her to see you come in
well and cheerful instead Of on stretcher.
z. Don't flatter her. When you are tempt
ed to compliment her on her looks or her
cooking, control yourself. Be strong. A lit
tie flattery may go to her head, and make
her so dizzy that she'll wonder why she
wasted herself on you.
3. Assert yourself, from the start. Now,
is your appointed hour. Every woman loves
master" Show her that she is, after all,
only your Rib-and that you are 1T.
4. When your wife talks, never listen
She will probably not say anything worth
hearing. And besides, it is much more i'm
portant that you should finish reading the
sporting sheet, than that you should try to
be companionable with one so mentally in
ferior.
5. Don't begin by wasting your money on
theater tickets and flowers for her. She
doesn't expect them, so why start something?
If she yearns for baubles and trinkets, let her
look at her wedding-ring and enjoy herself.
6. Remember that she is an ignorant, I'M
sophisticated little thing, and that you must
keep tabs on her and remodel her. Never hes
itate to crticise her clothes, to laugh at her
ideas, and to disapprove of her friends. This
will make her love you like an "uplifter."
Z. Don't be too devoted to her in public.
Let her catch you looking admiringly at
OTHER women, now and then. She will soon
learn to appreciate your good taste and broad
mindedness.
s. Always keep an eye on the weekly
bills, and make her account to you for the
money you dole out to her. Every woman
needs guardian, and loves to feel like an
object of charity, and no woman knows the
real value of money, even when she has had
to earn it.
9. Never forget that marriage is a mon
archy-not democracy-and that there can
be only one throne, one sceptre, and one set
of opinions in the house. Grab 'em, first!
These are bachelors rules for ruling a
woman. Any June bridegroom who will fol-
low them, can make a complete wreck OF
marriage, without committing a single soil
tary sin.

The Creative Age
this day Of precocious literary genius
it is interesting to consider a theory

N this day of precocious literary genius
it is interesting to consider theory
1 that has long obtained credence: the
theory that man produces his best creative
work between the ages of twenty and forty.
Perhaps the new psychology, when 1t mas
become unified and less fancifully specula-
tive may make a real contribution to the
biography of genius. Such a study, it lsSbe-
lieved, would show that the age of mental
virility can not be automatically fixed in GER
tain, definite limits.
It would be hard, for example, to dismiss
as Exceptions the facts that Rants "Cri-
tique of Pure Reason" appeared only after the
philosopher was we'll on the darker side OF
fifty, and that Darwin's Descent of Man"
was published when it's author was sixty-two
Nor have the records of creative literature
neglected the fact that Don Quixote" first
saw the light of the printed page after Ger
vantes had passed his fiftysixth birthday.
The. union of Reflection, which must be
made with Observation before genuine crea-
tive thinking is possible, can hardly be con-
summated while the mind is still but little
more than a page scrawled with sensory i'm
pressions-still elastic and undeveloped.
Perhaps, too, the new psychology will,
after time, find its way to the obviously
logical conclusion that as long as man re-
tains in himself the desire to accomplish; as
long as the incentive for action is present,
Just that long will he continue to create,
whether his age be twenty or three-score and
ten. And It will be found, perhaps, that it
is only when age mellows the mental i'm
pressions that the world can have a Goethe
to give it Faust some twenty years after
the age of forty.

The Olympia Field Club of Chicago, said

the intelligence and energy she possessed to
running her end of the domestic partnership.
I think she knew how to spend, and how to
Asave, and how to help her husband accumu-
late the beginnings of the fortune that he
left when he died. I think she had the cour-
age to bear her own burdens without within

complaints about her little worries over the
children, and servants and trades people.
And am very sure that she never took the
last bit of heart and courage out of her hus-
band by complaining because she couldn't
have the things that richer women had, or
kept him in debt by demanding 1uxurles they
could not afford.
I think the perfect wife was an understand

hard is the battle of life for the man who
must fight his own way VI in the world, and
that when he came home utterly exhausted in
body and too tired to talk, that she did not
accuse him of being grouchy, nor consider
herself ill-used because he did not want to
trot around with her to parties.
1 think she knew that when her husband
was sometimes peevish, and unreasonable, it
was not because he was unkind, but just be-
cause he was going through some business
strain that had fretted his nerves to fiddle
strings. And 1 think that at such times in
stead Of standing upon her dignity and
rights as a wife, she just mothered him, as
she would have done half-sick child.
think this perfect wife was woman who
never argued. I think she put taboo on
the subjects on which she and her husband
differed, and that she never dragged them
out, so as to have the fun of fighting over
them at the breakfast table. I think she
conceded to her husband the privilege of hav-
ing his own opinions, as she had hers, and
that she did not enforce petty tyranny over
him by trying to make him think as she
thought, and eat, and drink what she liked
and live according to her little schedule.
I think the perfect wife knew the value OF
the soft answer that turns away wrath.

these she added love and tenderness, that
made her the perfect wife.

A SHORT time ago a man died in Eng
II land who paid glowing tribute to his
wife in his will He said that she had
been perfect Wife-that in all the twenty
seven years they had lived together she had
never said an unpleasant word to him. and
that in every way she had been help and
an inspiration to him.
According to the newspaper reports OF the
case the widow has been flooded with letters,
not only from men anxious to secure such
a household treasure for themselves, but
from other women who are DESTROYS OF emu
lating her example, and who ask her recipe
for making husband happy.
What the perfect wife replies to the queries
of her sisters we do not know. Perhaps no
woman can tell another woman how to be
an ideal wife, because husbands are kittle
cattle to deal with. They have such differ
ent tastes, and demand such different tastes,
and demand such different things in their
wives that no universal rule can be given
for pleasing them. The very qualities that
appeal to one man, bore another man stiff.
The very charms that fire one mans fancy
leave another cold. Men are even unreason-
able enough to demand absolutely contra
dictory characteristics in the same woman,
as for instance that woman shall be both
a butterfly an a grub, and that she shall
dress like a daily hint from Paris, and yet
be as thrifty as Hetty Green.
And there you are. Hence the impossible
ity of even one, who has herself pulled off
the difficult stunt OF being perfect VIE,
telling anyone else how she did it..
Also, in this connection something must
be said of the man, for marriage is not soil
taire that the wife plays alone. 1t is a two
handed game in which the man has just as
much a part as the woman, and which he
must help win or lose. Which is to say, that
the husbands who respond to their wives eff
forts to please them, and show appreciation
and gratitude for benefits received. And
there are Iegions of other husbands that
no woman on earth, no matter If she were
an angel from heaven, could please, no matter
what she did.
1t is interesting, however, to speculate
upon the method IF this one perfect wife who
got the glad hand from her husband.
I think, to begin with, she was good
housekeeper. I think her husband always
thought of his home as place Of peace, and
rest and good cheer-a place of order and
cleanliness, and beauty. I think that when
he went home of an evening there were al
ways lights in the window to welcome him,
good dinner waiting for him, his chair and
his book placed just where he liked them,
and that a woman's tender hands drew him
across the threshold, and shut the door upon
the outside world behind him.
I think that this perfect wife was a good

"Progress-Prosber;ty" Week

IN the eve Of Progress and Prosperity
Week Atlanta stands ready with cor

scope of this enterprise may be inferred from
the fact that thirty-eight civic bodies have
poured their energy and resourcefulness into
preparation OF program that will be at once
worthy of the weeks basic purpose and ap-
pealing to the fancy of the rank and file.
The South's recovery from the wars depress-
ing reactions and her distinguishing pros
pect for the seasons ahead are fit themes for
a great celebration. To bring this improve
ment wildly to the popular mind is to
strengthen those thought forces that play so
potent a role in business trends and develop
ments. What better means to that end than
a gathering together of forward-minded folk
from Georgia and neighboring Common
wealths for general prosperity stock-taking
and a rededication to the new kindled spirit
of progress?
AS setting for this idea there is prepared
a series of entertainments that will leave not
one dull hour from the beginning Of the week
to it's end-colorfut and stirring pageants
light opera and wonderful wealth of other
music water sports, unique automobile pa
rades, "Wild West exhibitions, delightful So

Cure for Mental Indigestion
THE boastful claim of the man who says
that he can read newspaper in TWEEN

n
that he can read newspaper in TWEEN
ty minutes, magazine in forty-five and
a novel in two hours, is symptomatic of a
slip-shod mind: thing that leads inevitably
to mental indigestion.
We read as we run, and the result is that
second and third rate books are hailed as the
work of genius; but, when the month passes,
who can say what these books contained be-
tween their cloth covers.
survey of the reading of the people of
modern city is sad commentary on the in
tellectual level Of that community, and yet,
even this finding would be less harsh if
books were read instead Of skimmed articles
thoughtfully considered in the reading in
stead of forgotten before the page is
turned
It is to be doubted whether the shallowest
best seller" could not serve also to teach if
it were but read with the thoroughness that
should mark all reading. A story that is, in
it's final analysis, the veriest drivel, may yet
repay it's reader by an occasional passage of
melodious English, bit Of conversation, a
stray waif of description, the turn of a
phrase, even, that could well be long remem-
bered.
If each reader undertook the task of writ
ing but one book, OF composing single es-
say, the slip-shod mind would be less in evil
dence.
The cure for mental indigestion is simple
and specific: read more slowly. Whether
your choice runs to tales of adventure or the
frictive history Of a society divorce case
whether you read mystery novels or phil
osophical essays or editorial comment the
debt you owe to the ..uthor of what you read
you can pay by giving reasonably close atten-
ton to the printed words.
We have learned not to gulp our food. The
next lesson seems to be to learn not to gulp
our books.
