MORAL COURAGE

There's courage that is greater than
the test of fire and sword,
There's a greater proof of mettIe than
the battlefields afford,
And would that might teach IL to that
boy Of mine today
So that he may never weaken as be goes
along his way.
It's the courage Of conviction that can
stand the cruel gaff
And dare to do the right thing when his
thoughtless playmates laugh.
I want to have him sturdy, and I hope
he'll never show
has to take q blow;
hope he viii not whimper and too Bit
terly complain
When his wish is disappointed and dream
he fails to gain.
But above this outward courage and be-
yond this sign of fear.
l hope he'll stand undaunted when his
thoughtless fellows sheer
When his gang is all against him-that's
When his playmates urge upon him what
he knows Is wrong 20 do.
When he's taunted with derision, then
want him at HIS best.
For, spite all that he must cope with, this
is boyhood's hardest test,
And the greatest proof of courage is to
stand and take the gaff
Apd dare to do the right thing when his
thoughtless pIaymates laugh.

THE LADY FROM OKLAHOMA.

Miss Alice Robertson. congresswo-
man from Oklahoma, just before the
recess OF the house. delivered a speech
upon the tariff which was pronounced
a masterpiece by all who agreed with
tied to her was the following: "a
watch worth 60 cents abroad is sold
for $25 here"
This is important, If true. But does
anybody believe that it is true?
America produces the best watches in
the world. Nearly any one of the
standard makes can be bought for less
than $25. HigheW prices are due to
the value OF the case. the material of
which. II gold or silver. Is cheaper
here than elsewhefe in the world. II
the case be made OF cheaper material
the difference in cost could not be
material. aside from the cost of the
labor put into IT, which is not great.
Nobody would be foolish enough to
pay $25 for an imported watch in a
cheap case.
Waxing eloquent Miss Robertson
declaredI
Our fathers were wise in their day
and generation and built our indus
trialism on the rock of protection.
Whenever we have departed from
that principle disaster has followed
in greater or less degree. There is no
better lesson than experience and we
can do no better than profit by the
teachings of the past"
The teachings OF the past" show
that disaster to the Republican party
repeatedly has followed adherence to

Ing tariff bill. The voters of the
country appear to court the sort of
disaster referred to by the lady from

HEART And HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls, eighteen and nineteen years of
age. The other evening we went car
riding with two popular boys. They
parked their car in a deserted lane
and tried to kiss US and put their
arms around us. but we would not let
them.
We are very much in love with these
boys and as they have never asked US
for a date since. we are very much in
doubt as to whether we did right or
not
We thank you for your kind ad-
vice. JIP AND JYST.
OF course you did the right thing.
Evidently the boys care for a girl
only to make love to her. The sooner
you are free from such friends the
better.

waved him aside, saying determined
ly: Well Can't I come here and
learn how to do a few things? am
so tired of all the rest-dressing,
dancing, eating what I don't care for
and never feeling I've really done
anything worth while"
They drew apart. talking eagerly
Clair eyed them joyously-and when
the motor siren interrupted the con-
ference, made a great ado over its
impertinence. He shook Mrs. Reed s
hand with quite vehement heartiness
Dare got only deep reverence and
a beguiling smile. But if she thought
she had seen the last of him she was
sadly mistaken-he came again, yet
again-to bring Rhoda to her lessons
flowers, fruit, new books TO Mrs Reed
presently he was taking her for
spins up and down the post road, what
time the girls laughed and worked in
the big kitchen. His people were
awat-else he would certainly have
had the Reeds at Clairston. But that
could wait; meantime he~~wanted
counsel, advice that might be the
turning point of his life, namely, as to
whether an old bond and~fa.mily COM
ity should prevail against new love
new on both sides. Rhoda had truly
sat her heart upon a young engineer,
who had nothing but youth, strength
and a big brain and the blood of gem
tlemen to offer her. was he justified
in letting her break troth that had
been pledged in their cradles for such
uncertainty? Mrs. Reed pcndered
deeply. At last she broke out, De
ponds on how you feel. Don't seem
to me you can give her up easy-after
all this time"
'It seemed so to me-until a month
back" Clair said trifle huskily.
''She is so pretty, 50 winning, so sweet
when she isn't all spise and pepper. I
thought myself daffy about her. Now
Il know better"
''How did you find out?" Mrs. Reed
demanded.

Questions-Answers

Q. What makes oriental rugs crooked ?
A. Most of these rugs have a wooden
warp. They are apt-to be crooked on ae-
count of the elasticity of the wool. For
this reason. cotton is Supplanting wool,
especially for the large rugs made to order
for the European and American markets.
Q. How deep can ducks dive? J. L. K.
A. Sea and bay ducks can dive deeper
than those of the fresh water group. They
have been known, according to Chapman, to
descend to a depth of $50 feet or more.
Q. When was butter first used as food?
A Butter has been in use from early
historic days, and is first mentioned in
the Bible in Genesis XVIII, So 1t was used
both as food and medicine, and also an
ointment and for burning in lamps. One of
the earliest methods of making butter was
to jar the milk roughly by placing it in
skin bags pouches hung over the backs
of trOtting horses.

Dorothy DIX TALKS
The Once OVer-1.
BY DOR0TH1 DIX
Wos4Afs H9EhssG Paid Woman WFieeB.


A man wants to know if there is
any way in which he can tell, on the
safe side of the altar, what sort OF a
wife a girl will make.
Certainly, there is. There isn't a
girl in the world who is clever enough
to fool a man if he really desires to
get her number 1t is men who pull
the wool over their own eyes, and re-
fuse to see the truth about a girl.
They deceive themselves.
The average woman makes no eff
fort to camouflage her character and
disposition. She isn't shrewd enough
to do it, and to play a foreign paFtT so
naturally that it would deceive q man
who was trying to find out everything
about her temperament. And, for an
other thing, she doesn't feel the ne
ceSsity of assuming a. role, because her
vanity makes her think that she is
just about right, anyway. There is
not a woman that will admit that she
is selfish, high tempered, shrewish,
eXtravagant, or bossy. ~--
The most she will coueede is that
she is of a sensitive, nervous temper
ament, with an artistic love of beauty.
and that she cannot help realizing
that she has unusual executive ability.
Moreover, she adrnires these shining
qualities, and never dreams of taking
the trouble to conceal them from her
fellow human creatures.
Therefore, any man who wants to
know what sort of a wife a girl will
make, has only to forget her peaches
and cream complexion, and how the
hair curls on the nape of her neck,
and the slimness of her ankles and
give her the cold and critical once
over to be able to make a shrewd
guess as to the outcome of his bar
gain.
Let him observe:
First, whether girl is frail and
delicate, or strong and husky. Health
is the basis of happiness in maria ge,
just as it is the basis of every other
good thing, and nothing will do more
towards making matrimony a grand
sweet song than to get a wife who
has got the stamina to stand the wear
and tear of life. OF course if invalid
ism does fall upon a. woman, it is her
husbands duty to cherish and to care
for her with the utmost tenderness,
but he is an idiot If he wishes the
misfortune of a sickly wife upon him
self, and deliberately qualities for a
first aid to doctors, and trained nurses
and hospitals, by picking out q deli
cate girl for a wife.
Secondly, let him observe II a girl
is nervous, and irritable. Is she vexed
at little things? Is she easily peeved ?
Is she impatient over every trifle ?
These faults are constitutional. - She
will never get over them, and she will
make the kind of a wife who is about
as soothing to live with as buzz saw
would be.
Thirdly, let him take note whether
she is high tempered or not. If she
is a girl who flies into RACES over ev-
erything that displeases her, let him
beware. Tempers develop with age
and use. The girl who does not re-
strain herself before marriage, will
practice no self control after mar
riage, and her husband will either be
in a perpetual fight with her, or else
spending his life pussyfooting around
the subjects that might irritate her.

PRICES IN THE MAKING.

| William T. Foster, director PollaN
Foundation for Economic Research
relates in the Annalist that thirteen
years ago. in the automatic bargain
basement of a large department store
customers were invited to fix their
Town prices. The announcement was
made that all goods remaining unsoId
after twelve selling days would be re-
duced in price rs per cent; after
eighteen days, so per cent; after
twenty-four days. rs per cent. After
thirty days, all goods remaining un-
sold were to be given away.
The failure of <he plan was freely
predicted. Surely, the critics said.
order to take advantage of the auto
matte price reductions. But the crit
les overlooked the fact that in the
automatic basement, as well as in the
rest of the store, buyers would COM
pete with one another for the same
goods and the Individual buyer could
wait for lower prices only at the risk
OF having others get the goods. He
did not wait; he bought ss.4 per cent
of the merchandise at the original
price.
Even the largest corporations, in
many instances, it is pointed out,
could not reduce the retail selling
price of their products. no matter how
much they might desire to do so.

Of fact, when the Steel Corporation
pegged the price of its pig-iron at $3S

ready to pay S42. there was no conse-
quent reduction to the consumer in
the prices of iron products. Buyers of
pig-iron took all they could get from
the Steel Corporation at the lower
price, and for the rest of their re-
Quirements paid a higher price to the
independent producers. The buyers,
however, were able to base the prices
of everything they made out OF this
raw material on S42 pig-iron. Con-
sequently, whatever they saved by
the action of the Steel Corporation in
keeping down its price. meant no saw
ing whatever to the ultimate consun-

Because of the failure of the buyer
to understand the function of prices
