KITCHEN WORK GOOD FOR MAN.

General After Washing Dishes.


Because some philosopher in au address
before Boston matrons recently eN-
pounded this advice, e Never let your
husband learn to cook. ii makes him
independent of YOU. John L. Carua-
han, OF New York, wants TO counter
tct what he calls the evil influence Of
that dictum.
AS mere man, husband and a
father said Mr. Canadian, . am
here Ia state that the husband doesn't
live who viii secure his independence
merely by learning the art of cooking.
In fact. ! would 20 so far to say that
once a man i permitted to learn cook
ing he Immediately becomes more de-
pendent than ever upon the resources
Of his wife All a woman has to do in
order to prove the truth of this Is TO
permit her husband To have his own day
.in the kitchen. She win find soon after
ward that he is hers for life: that he
has found out his weakness; that he
admits defeat.
AsWhen our bows were i'm the Army

any cooking, but they did have tp. wash

with Il profound respect for their moth

doing this sort of work without any
medals being pinned on their bosoms.
Every man who salics forth from the

TWAIN FOND OF BILLIARDS
Biographer Has Told How Great
Humorist Would Wear Out His
Companions at the Game.

November 30 is Mark Twain's birth
day. The beloved humorist would
have been eighty-six on that day in
1921, if he had lived. His biographer,
Albert Bigelow Paine, in writing of
Mark Twain's passion for playing
Sbi4farlls, hobby which endured TO
tie last, comments upon his great,
pliysEeai endurance and perpetual
yellth.
81 was comparatively a young man,
ard by no means an invalid" Mr. Paine
writes 'but many time far in the
night, when | was ready to drop with
aShaustion,ahe was still as fresh and
}uSoyant and eager for the game as at
,tl4e Ihoment of beginning. He smoked
and smoked continually, ana followed
the endless track around the billiard
table With the light step Of youth. At
three or four O'Clock in the morning
he would urge just one more game,
and would taunt me for my weari-
ness.
Il can truthfully testify that never
until the last year of his life did lie
willingly lay down the billiard cue,
or show the least suggestion of IA
'tig,ie. He played always at high pres

Yersity, he would fly into a perfect
passion with things in general But.

happened only he was very gentle and

Not Merely academic Theories.

These views are not merely academic
theories by students of government. but
practical questions which are being
raised every day i'm the discussions con-
corning future policy in official quarters
Before the European war the question
never arose Not until the senate repuli-
ated the Versailles treaty did the prob

when the full effects of that action are
being quietly admitted by Republicans
in positions of responsibility that appre-
tensions about future international CO.
operation are expressed.
To mention political conferences of in
ternatIonal character is to scare away
.any chances of American participation.
Were it not for the pressing necessity of

pursue a policy of political isolation al
