worthy "home correspondence courses'' dealing with subjects of special interest to the housewife. These courses contain lessons on everything frenhbaby care to dishes husbands like. and since they may be followed in spare time and are low in cost, many women can take ad- vantage of them.
 Not only do such courses improve the efficiency of the housewife in her family job, but they prepare her to fill busi- ness positions centering around home industries. For example, has there ever woman lived who did not, at some time in her life, want to start a tea room? I doubt it! And tea room man agenient is profitable and ever increas- ing in scope. Again, onducting a school lunch, lunch room for business people, managing hospital kitchen there are many variations of the prepa- ration of meals outside the home, for which such aourses offer special train- ing.
 Many institutions employ women as purchasers of food other companies are installing employees lunch rooms, again merely house management on a larger scale. And these courses, either by mail or taken at various schools, will fit women for these wider opportunitiesgin their own field. Several institutions now are offering special lessons or stud les for the older women in whatever branch she wishes to learn. One school now carries on most successful ..house- wife's course" the entire season, the members all mature women who wish to improve in their jobs.

Sentiment Can Be Most Beautiful
 TIingIn,L!!ife ]!
M sETTY vINcrNy

c ENTIMENT can be the, most beau V tiful things in life or it can be as weak and toppling as clinging vine. Sentiment, when it concerns the vital, real love for some splendid. big, kind hearted man is superb. It is the sunshine and the breath of life. But sentiment for some worthless, weak, dis sipated man is mauldin, sob-sisterish and foolish.
 In my mail from Puzzled and Per plexed and Lovelorn ~ maidens T can count on ,a certain type of letter every day It starts off something like thiss
 T am in love with two men. One
 is a big, manly, fine chap whom I
 respect. He earns splendid salary,
 is always kind to me and treats me to wonderful times. But, Miss Vim
 cent, don't love him the way II k ought to. There is another man
 whom I adore. He is rather indif-
 fergnt and not doing very well in the
 business world; in fact. know he
 lets his mother support him half the time. He runs around with all types of girls and yet love him for all
 his faults and, although know ought to marry the other man, l hHOW l HEfET WIFI bC dWE tV AOt8Cb5 the man of my heart. What do you adviser" F:
 And no matter what I advise al- ways feel that this girl, will give in to her sentiment and elope with "the man of her heart"
 But her sentiment is weak, toppling and groundiess. It will never stand up and assert itself because she did not build her sentiment upon. the truths of life. In her heart she knows this man is not worthy of her love, Girls, don't cling to something that is. wrong. Don't hold on to a young man when you know his weak points. If you have a clear understanding and can see unworthy qualities in q young man, give him up before it is too late.
 If this particular girl would stop to listen to the dictates of her own heart instead of this weak sentiment which she imagines is love, she would, of course, marry the man whom she ad- mits she respects. She appreciates that man and has faith in him. .

THE Old Elyton chapter Daughters
 T of the American Revolution will present vachel Lindsay on the afternooa of March ?, at 3 o'clock, in the ball
 room of the Tutwiler hotel. Mr. Lind
 say is one of the most talked of of the
 younger poets, that group which we cannot always understand as poets, but
 must always be taken seriously as re-

 he writes both poetry and prose and
 draws queer little pictures to illus trate his works.
 Poetry plus people equals education plus enjoyment" remarks Louis Inter meyer, himself poet, in the preface to his recent anthology of poems for children called @This Singing World. ]" It is really splendid collection from the poets of the last 5 years and in- cluded among such names as Tennyson, Kipling, Browning, Stevenson and others, that of yachel Lindsay. Recently, in London, q new form of dramatic art had trial, the broadcast ing of two plays written especially for wireless presentation. The program falso included Vachel Lindsay's, The Blacksmith's Serenade." It win be a
 much greater privilege to. enjoy him face to face, and incidentally help a good cause, that of increasing the fund of the Daughters of the American Reyo- Tuition mountain school.

YOUNG CALVIN
COOLIDGE DEAD
After Five Days Illness SON of the
President Passes Away-Rallies
Third Time Before End Comes.

Washington, July Calvin Cool
idge, Jr., son of the President died
tonight at Walter Reed hospital of
blood poisoning.
The end came after the boy had
battled with the utmost bravery and
fortitude for five days against dis
ease which had iacked his body with
pain and sapped the reserve strength
of his frail constitution.
President and Mrs. Coolidge, who
had maintained constant vigil at the
hospital were at his bedside, hope
full and cheering and comforting the
son to the last.
Three sinking spells Sunday night
brought him to the point of death
A slight rally Monday gave slight
hope, but soon thereafter he began
again to lose ground and he never
rallied again.
A sinking spell, the fourth he had
suffered in "a hours, brought death
Notwithstanding the use Of oxygen
and other restoratives the courage
which had withstood crisis after
crisis and had beaten death off re-
.peatedly, was unable to meet the
final attack. The collapse began at
$3.50 o'clock, and he gradually sank
into eternity. He died at 1890 o.
clock.
The infection developed from a
broken blister on the right foot in
cuTred during a tennis match with
his brother John on the White House
courts last Monday. At first, paying
no attention to it, the youth develop
ed an alarming condition by Wednes-
day night and physicians were sum-
moned.
Young Coolidge was sixteen years
old.

YOU CAN'T GET AWAY
FROM PEOPLE, SAYS KILGORE

Raleigh, N. C. July 1.-THE head
porter in my hotel was from Char
+lotte and the representative of Pa
ris newspaper was young man who
graduated from Trinity last year"
says director B. w. Kilgore dean of
the school of agriculture who recent
ly returned from his trip abroad act
ing as delegate from the United
States to the International Institute
of Agriculture at Rome, Italy. "This
was one of my first Impressions
you can't get away from people you
know. found also that the fame of
North Carolina as an agricultural
state had preceded me and in trav-
cling over Scotland. England, France
Italy and Switzerland, I found that
some of the leading people wanted
to hear of our accomplishments. l
was invited to address gathering of
notables both of London and Edin-
borough on the agricultural develop
ment of our state"
Mr.. Kilgore said that his second
impression was the lack of space to
do things in. The farms were small,
the people too plentiful and living
conditions were crowded. During the
time spent in Rome he saw only one
new building being constructed Of
stone and brick. There is no timber.
The trees of Italy are grown on the
side of the ditch banks and inter-
cropped with grape vines while the
prunings Of the trees are used for
fuel. All the land is used and there
is much human labor. The returns
per man is not as great as in this
country, and says Mr.. Kilgore, Il
would not ever want US to have to
farm the way they farm over there.
Their standard Of living is now, par
ticularly in the Mediterranean coun-
tries and they do not use the labor
saving machinery such as we have
in this country"
Mr.. Kilgore saw the need Of pro-
tecting our lands by terracing and
putting the inaccessible lands in for
ests after noting the conditions Of
some soils over, there. "We do not
want to wait until it is too late as
they did over there" he says.
