 the man who had got home late and managed to wake up every body else in the family. '
 "I went out to the Whoopla Gar dens,' he further confided, dangling the doorchain in trying to fasten it, ''and I was resigned to being jammed in with the usual bunch of people one sees everywhere-girls in such airy frocks that it would make you nervous to sneeze and men who talked dollars and cents when the fountain was play ing rose and orchid against the green banks and who only woke up when the WhOopia Giggly Girls came prancing down the dance floor.
 "I'll bet there wasn't a man there who knew that there was bright summer moon shining above the poplar trees, because f he was under 30 he wasn't seeing anything but the partic- ular fairy he had brought there to din ner, and if he was too busy mentally counting up what the check was likely to be and wishing to thunderation that Florrie would ever let him order the table d'hote instead of picking out all the most expensive items on the menu. And if she'd let him sit still and smoke in peace instead of jumping up every time the orchestra burst forth and heading toward the dance floor!
 Bless me if I know what's come over the girls these days-I looked and looked and I saw nary a one who struck me as entertaining a vestige O. an idea in her head. If she wasn't eat ing she was eying the other girls on the dance floor critically or else cast I ing melting glances at her escort and saying, Really Now Herbert, you don't mean it! or You are positively the funniest man! How can you think of such witty things to say, Herbert? ?

Beans must be picked when only half grown to have them at their best. Aft CT they reach certain age they are likely to become stringy. They are best when they snap readily and have soft, pliable tips. When you once begin to pick beans you must keep it up, because if you allow any of them to mature the vines will stop beeOng. Their mis- sion is to make seesl, and when they have accomplished tNat purpose they consider their life work over. Many gardeners have had their crop short ened because they haven't realized this fact. Even at their best string beans will not bear as long as pole beans. The latter should keep on yielding to the end of the season if the pods are kept removed

Oftentimes you can get tomatoes quicker by removing them from the vines after they begin to turn color than by leaving them on the plants. If the tomatoes are spread out on straw under the glass in a hotbed or in box with glass over them, they will ripen very quickly, although the flavor may not be quite so good as that of tomatoes rip ened on the vines. Placing a few tOma- toes that have just turned. color in a sunny window will help to give fruit quickly. If you are growing your to- matoes trained to stakes, keep the new shoots pinched off. They make a thick bushy plant if not removed. You can take off some of the leaves, too, near the lower part of the plants if there is a great abundance. Don't overdo this, but it will help to ripen up the fruit Some persons cut off quarter of each leaf instead.

Dear Dorothy Dix: I was talking to bride the other day and asked her if she knew how to cook and keep house. She said "No," but she intend ed to learn how as soon as she was married. Don't you think it is pretty late for woman to start to learn a profession after she goes to practice it? And don't you think that mothers do very wrong in not teaching their daugh- ters how to cook and sew and keep house? RUTH.

But all would have been differ ent if the girl had been taught how to do housework efficiently and easily. Housework is only hard to the untaught. Of course, the mothers say that their girls will learn how to cook after they get married. True, but they learn throughA a bitter experience that they could have been saved. And, anyway, it is not fair that a girl should get her domestic training at the expense of her husbands pocketbook and stomach.

WOOTEN.ANDERsON

OTEN-ANDERSON
 The following announcement has been received by friends and relatives
 Mrs. c. B. Wooten announces the marriage of her daughter, Mary Jane, to MT. LeRoy Anderson, on Tuesday, the fifteenth day of July, 1924. Deca- tur, Ala"
 The bride is the daughter of the late c. B. Wooten, one of the most promi- nent and artistocratic pioneer settlers of Alabama, whose English ancestry dates back to William the Conqueror. Colonel Wooten was a native of North Carolina, where he lived until young manhood. After graduation from Wake Forrest college, endowed with good educaaion, he started out on horseback, accompanied by his brother, to seek his fortune. Their course led them south and he finally located in Alabama. The south was yet in its infancy and almost wholly agricultural. He em- ployed his intellect to take advantage of the untold opportunities before hlm and became one of the largest land owners in Alabama, and before the aboi- ishment of slavery he was the loved owner of scores of faithful slaves, who reluctantly gave up their yoke ot bond
 
 age to become free men and women.
 He was twice married, his second marriage being at middle age, to Willie Raiford, a young Judson college gradu- ate. The bride is the youngest daugh- ter of this happy union and is not only very popular in her own state, but In Indiana, where she has spent much or her time during the past three years in the field of education.
 The marriage is the culmination Of a romance which began several years ago in the old antebellum town ot Marion Ala, where her mother and father were married and where Mir. Anderson was pofessor at Marion institute and the bride a student at Judson college.
 The groom is member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of North Carolina. He is at the pres ent time a resident of Emporia, Va. where he is prominent in business and religious circles. After an extenoe1 northern and eastern tour they VIII ,,oLo +hoir home in EmpOria, Va.

The lack of sympathy that mothers show for their daughters who work outside of the home is to be explained and excused by their ignorance. They have never been in business themselves and they have not the. faintest concep- tion of what it means to stand all day behind the counter, or bend over a type writer or walk million miles, more or less, peacocking around in model hats and dresses, trying to please grouchy bosses, and to induce peevish customers to buy.
 To the mother, going downtown to see pretty things, and mingle in the crowds, is a lark, and she never gets over the belief that business is a per- petual picnic Therefore, she thinks that her husband and her daughter, who have been at the office or he store, are perfectly unreasonable when they complain of being tired of an evening, and when they want to stay at home and sit up in silence trying to rest their weary tongues and eardrums from the ineessant chatter they have been in | all day.

A man marries a girl dreaming of a happy, comfortable, thriftily run home, of good dinners and a contented wife. Nine-tenths of the time he gets a wife who doesn't know the first thing about cooking or buying food, who wastes his money and sits him down to din ners that would poison an ostrich. And his wife is nerve-frazzled and hys- terical over her failure. Nobody can blame him for being disgruntled and disappointed. Nobody can blame her for being discouraged and miserable. Nobody can wonder that they quarrel and reproach each other.

When polishing furniture, if it is rubbed the same way as the grain it will polish much brighter and quicker.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-17

Answer:
 Of course you are, Worried Wife. When a man gets married his
 first duty is to his own household.
 He has no right to deny his wife
 and children the things they need
 to give to his family.
 Yet many men do this. In their early youth they somehow got their families fastened, like old men of the sea, upon their backs, and they never have the courage to shake themselves free of the load. Nor does the family ever seem to realize that they have nc right to continue to make a pack horse of their sons and brothers when they have assumed other burdens.
 Because John has always turned over his money to the family, and bought the girls pretty dresses and paid the boys debts, they feel that they continue to have a perfect right to call on him for everything they want as long as they live. And John hasn't the nerve to say "No!" and shut his pocketboOk And so Johns wife and children have to be sacrificed to the family fetish.

Radio Dial
BY Listner-In-

One of the chief, reasons for the
success of broadcasting in it's COM
paratively brief existence has been
it's cleanliness
Its future popularity will depend
to large degree on the continuance
of this policy which eliminates all
traces Of smut and dirtiness from
it's programs.
Having listened with considerable
consistency for almost six months
to programs broadcast from the four
corners of the continent, we should
have been the first to cry out against
any suggestion of a board of CEN
sors to look after the morals of
brOadcasting.
In that period we had not heard
a questionable story nor a program
that could not be welcomed in the
most moral of homes.
Last night the record was broken.
Stories that, IL not questionable
were exceedingly stupid and IN
necessary, drifted in through the
loud speaker from WRC.
The stories, together with tactIess
references to large portion of the
city's population. We have reason

thoughtlessness on the part of the
performer.
His apology and the apology Of
the management. Of the station were
telephoned to us Immediately after
the conclusion of the program.

Although there is no wav in
