matters are of interest to no other
human being under the sun except

We might be taught to keep ST.
lent concerning our aches, and pains,
and our major operations, for few
are morbid-minded enough to enjoy
listening to the details of hospital
clinics. And more especially. should
we be taught to refrain from telling
a sick person that his: symptoms are
exactly those of our Aunt Maria,
who died a horrible death after she
had spent fortune on doctors and
sanitariums trying in vain to get
cured.
We should be taught not to offer
gratuitous criticism. When we see
a friend with a ha. on that makes
her look like the wrath Of God, it
is not our business to destroy her
pleasure in it by telling her SO.
Neither Is it ZIP to us to tell an &C.

Other people have a similar right to
express theirs, and what they do is

We might be taught not to give
unsought advice, especially in the
| bosom of our families, and more par
ticularly to our children. The reason
that family life is so often a failure
is because everybody in it feels that
he or she has a right to tell every.
body else exactly what they shall do,
and shall not do.
If the fathers and mothers could
only learn what not to say to their
children, they could save the per,
petual pickering that goes on in al
most every household in which there
are growing boys and girls, that
breaks the parents hearts, and that
drives the children away from home

And we could be taught not to say

be rude enough to say to strangers
| When our husbands launch out or

tell them that we have heard them
before? We smile appreciatively
over chestnuts handed us by other
people. Why should we tell oul

they are talking about, when we
listen respectfully to a million foo
opinions from fool women outside
Of our homes? Why should we make
a child still more self-conscious anC
awkward by publicly calling atten

Being her mothers daughter, of course Madge was only
too glad to go. What cheer she did bring to her friend with
that huge bunch of llacsi 1t just happened that it had been a
particularly hard day for Mrs. Webb. She hadn't been feeling
very well and she was rather depressed. She had been in one

and an expression of thoughtfulness from some one. So you
can imagine her pleasure when Madge appeared in her door,

pathetic understanding of her mother.
For days and days these lilacs shed their sweet fragrance
and spoke their loving message to a gladdened and appre-

ATLANTA, Ga.-A new power in
national politics promises to rise
from the Biennial Council of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs which opens here on Monday
and continues through Friday.
Politicians of both major parties
are waiting anxiously for a def
milton of the federation's attitude
during the coming presidential cam
paigns and the campaigns of the fu-
ture.
For Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, ma
tional president, will recommend in
opening the convention that work.
Ing rules for the General Federation
in its relation to political activities
be formulated. No hint has come as
to the views it will express.
This is by far, from the viewpoint
of national affairs, the most impor-
tant function of the convention.
Other Topics
However, other constructive e a
ures will be discussed, in this, the
first executive council of the organi-
zation's history.
Among these will be:

Bridegroom. GradeA-Plus
A woman candidate for the Senate
in an Eastern State says that she will
sponsor a bill compelling male mar
riage candidates to prove their eco
nomic independence" and their
mental worth" before they can
wed.
Much as we wish our aggressive
sister well, we fail to see how the
thing is going TO work out in real
life.
The economic independence part
Of it will be comparatively simple.
Being independent in money matters
is one of the easiest things men do.
Ask any wife who has to use all OF
the diplomacy Of an Old World court
to obtain enough money to do the

worth ?" The h~igh-brow educators

II may be a trifle difficult to fig
ure up a bridegroom's rating, but
we'll append a few suggestions for
a test just to help a good cause
along. Here they are:
Do you consider it a serious fault
to come home habitually late for
dinner, or is 1t, in your opinion, a
trifling matter?
Will you refuse TO spend none
on your wife's clothes, then expect
her to look as smart as a pretty &C.
tress in a society play?
Will you expect her to stay at
home all day where she talks with
nobody but the iceman. the grocery
boy. the telephone collector and the
iaundress, then expect her to have a
brilliant line Of conversation for your
benefit?
VIII you bring home unexpected
company the day the house is all
upset and there is nothing TO eat
but left-overs?

answer these and similar questions
satisfactorily, you'd better Join the

Mrs. Lester NJ. White. violinist, of

songs at the annual convention of

During the afternoon, Governor
George S. Silzer spoke before the

resolution opposing any change in

asked the governor, ~squarsly facing
the 800 club women before him,

of their immediate family violate it

about 40 per cent haven't violat-
ed it," continued the governor after
a brief count. He was smiling.
II believe that prohibition is. one
of the most difficult problems be-
fore us today" he said. II am more
personally interested in temperance
than in prohibition. If prohibition
will give US temperance, I am for 1t,
but it has not done sd during the
past two years.
There Is not a woman in this
o who doesn't know there Is a
lot of drinking among young people.
There isn't any doubt that young
girls are drinking more than they
did. I am sorry to see it.. It is a
weakness of human nature to do
what you are forbidden to do. The
question is how to get results. 1t
Is certain we haven't gotten them as
yet.
They are talking about incorpor-
ating a clause in a party platform
two years hence for a vigorous en-
forcement of the Volstead act. Why
wait two years? If the law can't DE
enforced now, it can't then.

the reason l say what a fine test II
would be II the United States gov
eminent with all the unlimited re-
sources at its back, with all Its might
and power, would start right in and
dry up Washington.
"If it is a law. we ought to obey
it, and it ought to be enforced. If we
find it does not bring results, we
ought to charge it. But we ought
never change it to bring back the
saloon or hard liquor" He said that
if the solution was found in giving
the working man and the poor man
a glass Of beer brewed under gov
eminent supervision and would bring
less intemperance, he favored it.
The Governor then spoke briefly
