So my advice is to study up on the stock market and try to forget the flappers. They are no real menace to you. You have to take husbands ''as is" as the shipping manifests say, and the ones who have the illusion that they have a wicked eye that no woman can resist may be aggravating to their wives, but their vagaries are gen. orally harmless.

Answer:
 The only thing that can help you, Mrs. H. c. M., is to cultivate hard. boiled philosophy that will enable you to laugh at your husbands weakness instead of being hurt by it.
 Be comforted in this truth; the flirtations which a married man carries on in public are harmless. They are merely tribute that his vanity asks of any passing woman. He wants to show what devil he is among the ladies, and that is all there is to- it.
 The philanderer of which a wife has a right to be jealous is the se- cret affair that her husband car- ries on under cover. There is in- fatuation in that, and it strikes at the very roots of her happiness. The really disloyal husband sell dom flaunts his infidelities in his wife's face.

It may not be as romantic to have bought steel common, or is holding copper for the long pull, or that he has a. nice little block of Pennsylvania, as it would to have him tell you that you have the most beautiful eyes he ever saw, and that he just loves your Mona Lisa smile, but it means a lot more.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-31

You are mistaken, thought, Tn thinking that when your husband discusses his business and his in- vestments with you that he shows lack of affection for you. Quite the opposite is the case. A man never gives a greater proof that he loves his wife, that he trusts her judgment and discretion, and that he regards her as just part of him. self, than when he. talks business to her.
 For that is the American mans real life. That is the thing of par amount interest to him. That is his real heart-to-heart stuff. All the jolIying, the flattering, the near-love talk. amount to nothing. It is only the woman that man cares for most in all the world that he talks to about his ambi- tions, and his plans, and his bank balance. ~

Engineers Mapping State
Lands on Hood Canal

Engineers from the State Land
Commissioners office are measuring
the states tide lands on Hood Canal
between point near Bremerton and
another near Brinnon. About 40 miles
of tide lands will be measured and
mapped.
During the present week there is a
minus" tide on Hood Canal when the
water reaches the lowest stage of the
year on the long run out. This gives
the engineers chance to view all of
the tide land that the state can claim
and 1t will all be checked for future
sales.
The greatest boom in waterfront
summer home sites in the state exists
along Hood Canal where hundreds of
city residents are picking out build
Ing sites. Some Of the tide lands al
ready have been sold, but Land Com
missioner G. V. Savidge delayed mar
keting the rest until it had been more
mapped. Data gathered now
will be used during next winters big

kept at all times.
Following delivery, q proper diet is
very important, and this Is given ex-
pert attention at the hospital.
But the most important factor of
all, in considering safety versus SEN
timent, is that the patient will have
the advantage Of the delivery room,
and an emergency may, with access
to the operating room, the X-ray and
laboratory departments, be quickly
and properly met.
Statistics show decided decrease
in the deaths and infections in hos
pital, as compared with home deliver
les. Everything that the doctor or
nurse comes in contact with in the de-
livery room is as free from germs as
sterilization and preparation can make
it and the chances Of infection are re-
duced to the minimum. A properly

In the hospital the patient is carried
through the lying-in period with the
greatest degree of safety, the least
amount of irritation and shock, and
of pain.

MATERNITY CARE

Every year the lives of thousands
of women are saved because they had
the good judgment to enter hospital
for their period of confinement.
Frequently, when physician recon-
mends the hospital for this period, the
mother will tell him that she will miss
the home comforts, and that it will be
so lovely to have the family around at
this time and that she does not want
to enter hospital where she cannot
have her friends about. These may
be good sentimental reasons, but it
is the mothers safety that should be
considered first, and the advantages
of the hospital are so great as to over
shadow all other considerations.
The matter of expense is not real
objection because were she to remain
home she should have trained nurse,
which would be as great as the hos.
pital expense and the advantages do
not compare with the lying-in period
at the hospital.
The hospital or maternity nome is
especially constructed and managed
to give efficient care to it's patients,
its nurses are especially trained for
this work, and through them the pa
tents condition is known and follow
ed by the physician.
Should she remain at home, even
though in bed, such home responsible
ties as ordering groceries, managing
the home and disciplining the children
will rest upon her. and she will find
her children worry and excite her.
The maintenance Of an even tenn
perature Is all-important during this
period, and this cannot be had in the
average home, especially in the win
ter. The newborn is given an ideal

the table on his back, and one has

could have been held nowhere else

Seniority Rights Stand
In La Toilette Case
-lRv Federated Pressl

Washington-Despite much clamor
from the coarser grade Of politicians
in the administration clique, there
will be no cancellation of La Follette's
seniority rights in the senate commit
tees on interstate commerce, finance
and manufactures either in the forth
coming session of the 68th congress
or in the first session of the new
congress next year.
Any attempt to break down the
rule of seniority in the formation of
committees of congress will fail. For
the same reason it is quite likely that
the house will set aside the seniority
claims of Cooper. Browne, Frear and
other members of the Wisconsin dele
cation under preteXt of their belong
ing to the minority. If the tories
abolish seniority rights this time, a

NO BACK SEAT FOR THE
TRADES UNIONS

The Trade Union Movement doesn't
have to take back seat for anybody.
1t can stand up and proudly tell the
world what it wants, where it is 60
ing and who it is serving.
1t doesn't have to apologize for
anything, or take back talk from any
where.
1t is a privilege and a duty to be
in this movement. The one who is
outside is the one who has the ex-
planning to do.
If there's anyone who goes around
with limp, barking about what's
wrong with the unions, spot him as
sick in the head or weak in the spine
The trade union movement is just
about the rightest thing in this great
country and it has a right to demand
loyalty and courage and up-standing-
ness from its members.
Does a decent person go around
apologizing for the defeats of his
family? Does he permit his family
to be abused and lambasted by who
ever happens to dislike the color of
said family's hair?
Stand up for your union.
There are a lot of preaching men
and women, persons who have have
nothing to do except save the world,
who think they can tell the trade un-
ion movement how to run itself, how
to hurry things along, how to behave
in company.
The reason the American Fedora
tion of Labor stands today is because
it is run from the inside and not
from the outside.
The world-savers ought to form a
little world-saving society of their
own and then proceed to deliver the
goods. Trade unionism accepts coun-
sci and service gladly; it doesn't toll
crate outside bosses.
Right now is a good time to pound
home these simple truths. 1t is a
good time to get up on stump or a
box or a platform and say things in
short sentences about the American
trade union movement. It is worthy
of the best that can be said for it, the
best that can be done for it, the best
that can be given to it.

card MEN" SAME WORLD OVER

That Newark is not the only place
affiliated by so-called union men like
some of the ones here, who permit
scab bread to be consumed in their
homes in preference to the good union
denced by the following clipping from
the Butler County Press, the live
Labor paper of Hamilton, Ohio.
"A chain of grocery stores in Ham
ilton have been declared unfair to or
ganized labor because of their action
in discharging their clerks who took
out membership in a labor union. Or
ganized labor's action in declaring
these stores unfair has been given
much publicity and is known to every
union man and woman in the city. In
spite of this, and for shame, it Is
known that there are families of
union members patronizing the un-
fair stores. We say families of "union
members" it t?-and we can't say
it to strong; families of "union mem
bers," mind you-not families of
"union men," There is a difference
between a member of a union and a
union man. One holds his member
ship because of what it brings him
only, and the other because of the
principle of the thing and because of
the duty he owes his family, himself
and his fellow worker. Those fellows
who hold memberships in a trade
union and permit their families to
spend their union-eaned money in
unfair stores ought to hang their
heads in shame, and are not fit to be
recognized as union men,"

Granting that there is no question
at all about the desirability of own
ing ones home, there still remains
the question in the minds of many
prospective home owners as to why
they should start now. The follow
ing are twenty-five reasons for own
ing home:
Because you have no rent to pay.
Because it is easier to own your
own home than it is to pay rent.
Because as long as you keep your
nose on a landlords grindstone, you
will never get ahead.
Because it costs less to own home
than it costs to pay rent.
Because there is no one to tell you
to move.
Because as long as you rent, your
pocketbook will be open.
Because when you own your own
home, you don't have to ask a
grouchy landlord to do this or that.
Because in a few years you pay for
the home you live in, whether you
own it or not.
Because the money you invest in a
home cannot run away. Money with
out restraint sometimes does.
Because it is much easier to get
along in old age when you own your
own home.
Because home owning is the only
direct route between poverty and
prosperity for the average man.
Because home owning is by far the
best form of thrift.
Because when you own your home
you have the most desirable Of all
possessions.
Because you owe it to your family
Because it is a good example to
your children.
Because all you do around your
own is for your benefit
Because all trees and shrubbery you
plant are then your own.
Because every cent you spend tc
