Tells Illus bands Secret Of Moral

Dorothy Die
Stress The Love Honor Part Of The Marriage Ceremony And Soft-Pedal Obey" If You Would Have Marita Happiness.

Any woman who has the backbone of a fishing worm would haunt the movies, if her husband arbitrarily told her that she shouldn't go, just to show him that the days when a wife was a slave and had to have her masters permission to go off the place are ended and that this Is 1923 instead of 1723.
 No, my friend, there is no way to make your wife mind you unless she wants to. If she isn't willing to do please yoI-, and thinks your way is a good way. there's no help for you. The wife who can be made to obey IS just as extinct as the dodo.
 But why do you want your wife to obey you? l know that a lot of husbands suffer from this wife obedience" complex, but, believe me, it is a mental affliction of which they should try to cure themselves
 For. stripped to the bone, 1t is nothing but mean and ignoble de- sire to tryrannize over the one hu- man being that is in mans power To rule her with a rod of iron. To her, and to make her do what he wants instead of granting her the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, in her own way.
 A man can't excuse himself for trying to dominate his wife by say ing that he is wiser than she IS, and a better judge of what is prop per. for as a general thing, mans wife has got just as much sense as he has about things in particular, and a thousand times more sense about women things. The only hus- band, for instance, who has got right to chirp about his wife's ;. re c a What is banker, or manufacturer, or ereengrocer that he should set him. self up as an authority on hats, and tell his wife that she may or may hot wear such shape headgear?
 And, aside from the lolly of mans trying to make his wife obey him, there is the crime of the thing, because it kills so much happiness unnecessarily. Half of the joy of living comes in being able to gratify little personal tastes and whims, and to do as we please in simple matters without having anybody interfere with us. Freedom. Personal liberty. These are the eternal passions of the human heart that are stronger than any human love, and those who try to deprive us of them do so at their peril.
 Why, half the trouble with matri- mony is that husbands and wives make of it a struggle for mastery. Each wants to rule the other. Each wants to force the other to do his or her way Each wants to make the other obey.
 More homes have been wrecked by tyranny than by any other one thing. So don't try to make your wife obey you, Mir. Man You can't do it without breaking her heart, and her spirit, and making her hate you, and it isn't worth the price.

SCIENCE IN WALKING

COtiege cufTlculumS are not lm- mune to the changing world, as the latest innovation on record seems to testify. Learning how to walk may be a peculiar course, but Prof. Leon Kranz, director of physical education, at Northwestern university, believes that it occupies an important part in the education of the American youth Accordingly, he has intro- duced three hour-a-week course dents how to walk correctly.
 q was led to start the course" stated Professor Kranz, when I found that 40 per cent of the stu dent body at Northwestern univer- sity, upon examination, showed a decided lack of knowledge about the proper distribution of the weight of the body when walking and conse- quently suffered from fallen arches and other foot defects. Five per cent of this group. have serious trouble with their feet and are in need of special treatment"
 Class work consists in the demon stration of proper form to assume while walking. Students spend con- siderable time each period in walk ing up and down the gym floor under the close observation of instructors.
 "Calisthenics will not alone correct broken arches" states Professor Kranz Ut Is necessary to get at the real cause of the trouble, which is in this highly important phase of weight distribution.
 Many people are under the false impression that it Is only the longi- tudfnal arch that is subject to in jury, but we have found upon exam ination that most of the students have trouble with the arch in the ball of the foot and it is upon that portion of the foot that we are di- recting our attention in the class work
 "Flatfoot may be caused in many different ways, chief of which is the improper distribution of weight of the body with relation to the feet When the body is weakened by ill., ness the feet suffer most, because the weight of the body rests on them, and if the weight is born directly over the arch or perhaps on the in- side of the foot, it is strained and weak arches result.
 'Ill fitting shoes which throw the feet out of line and cause the indi- yidual to assume all sorts of posi- tions to exempt himself from pain contribute cont to the Widespread epi- demic of fallen and broken arches. People often walk on the inside of the feet to avoid wearing their shoes out on the outside. Those individuals should be informed that it is easier to have shoes repaired than to fix their feet.
 "Standing for long periods of time tires and weakens the feet. If the proper position is taken at this time inc strain will be reduced and fla tigue may be avoided. Acute strain due to jumping from various heights causes a small percentage of foot trouble.
 ttCa..fdaripg- 4ba nunhnr of houes that go to make up the foot and the necessarily complicated grouping of fragments and muscles to hold the bones together and yet maintain a certain flexibility, it is wonder that all people are not flatfooted. Taking the average weight of adults at 150 posnds, think of the strain that is constantly on the arches or inc feet if the weight is not prop erly distributed.

General Motors To Arrange For Sale
 Of Stock To Executives
 In an effort to give its managers something of the outlook and inter- est of owners the General Motors corporation has evolved a plan to place its 70 principal executives on a partnership footing with the com pany's stockholders.
 The company's plan is complicated in detail. Its essential provision, however, Is to form a company hold ing large block of General Motors stock and to give to each of the prin- cipal executives of the General Mo tors corporation, an opportunity to buy an allotted amount of the stock of this new company, to which the General Motors corporation will pay each year , per cent of its own net earnings in excess of per cent on the actual capital employed, now aggregating approximately $500, 000,- 900.
 Modern industry demands huge ag- gregations of capital. The most sat- isfactory way of furnishing these has been found to be the corporate form of organization, which depends upon the issue and sale of stock. But while the corporate form of organi- zation has proved superior to all other methods as a means of ras- ing large capital 1t has not been without its drawbacks.
 The most serious of these has been the tendency of the management of corporations and the ownership of them to fall into separate hands. The small business organization is com monly managed by the owner. Even In the smaller corporations the man ager is very frequently either the owner of a majority of the stock or of tho largest single block. The great corporation, on the other hand, is commonly run by officers working on salary, who may own a negligible percentage of the stock or even no stock at all.
 The manager who owns con- trolling interest in his company necessarily has 8 deeper concern in the company's welfare than the man ager who Is merely hired for sal ary. In addition he has greater free dom of action.-New York Herald.

MAKING A DISTINCTION

"Do you think we ought to take hand in the affairs of Europe?"
 How do you mean take hand?' ' rejoined Senator Sorghum. If you're suggesting that we try to learn the same old game they've been playing over there so long, I'd rather watch the play a while longer before at tempting to participate. In case of distress I'm willing to lend hand, but I don't want to take hand" Washington Star.

LORE OF THE ESKIM0S
Stories Are Carried In Memory From
 Generation To Generation

Generation To Generat1On
 Although Eskimo children do not have the colored and handsomely bound story books of their more southerly neighbors, they have their fairy tales to make up for the lack, according to Roy J. Snel, Arlctic ex- plorer and writer.
 ''The Eskimo are great story tell ers," MT. Shell says. "Often while travelling in company with a group of them have seen one of them mount an improvised platform to be- gin, 'Uba canok.' which means, Here is something l am about to tell you. I don't know how you are going to like it, but take it for what it's worth.
 Since they have no written lam guage, these stories are carried from one generation to another in their memories. Some of them are old perhaps even as old as the story of Moses."--Detroit News.

There's no sense in mixing & mess of mustard flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with little clean, white Musterole.

JOKE IS ON BERLIN
Village Thought It's Name Of Teu-

If you should direct letter to Ber- lin, Mich, today, the chances are that it would find it's way to the dead let ter office, unless it should fall into the hands of some Ottawa county postoffice employe who was familiar with ante bellum conditions and who remembered that until 1918 Ottawa had a thriving village by that name.
 But it is no more-that is, the name is no more; the village itself is as thriving as ever and the people in it are as full of life and vigor as of yore. The town today is "Marne," Mich, and it so appears on the new maps and in the postoffice directories of Ottawa county towns.
 But the joker in the situation has just been made public. It was sup posed in war times that the village had been named after the capital of Germany, home of the kaiser.
