Dand and twist It into a cause of Of fense, because she is just spelling for a fight.
 Anything. Anything. Anything to break the awful monotony of her day. Anything to put a little pep into the situation and ease the tension of her nerves.
 Untold numbers of men dread to go home of an evening because they are going to encounter just such a situation as this, and it
 never occurs to them that the remedy is in their own hands, and that what is the matter with their wives is not that they have gone crazy or have developed into un- natural fiends who hate everything that they once loved, but simply that they are bored to extinction.
 Still less does it occur to the hus- bands that they could restore their
 wives to sanity and secure the peaceful, happy home they crave
 at the price of few theatre and
 movie tickets, restaurant dinner
 or two, or short trip.
 Yet this is absolutely true. If every wife knew that once a week her hus. band was going to take her out and give her a good time, as he used to do before they were married, it would work a revolution in domestic life. In stead of going about her work breeding over what poor, downtrodden slave she is, the woman would sing at her tasks, filled with pleasant reminis- cences of her last little spree and joy ous anticipations of the coming pleas ure. And most of all, she would be filled with love and gratitude toward the husband who was trying to bring what brightness he could into her life, for the thing that rankles like a fes- tering sore in the hearts of women is the thought that their husbands do not love them well enough to care whether they are happy or miserable.
 The main reason why women
 slack up in their housekeeping is
 because they have done the same
 things over and over, and over
 again, until they have lost interest
 in them. You can't cook meals
 three times a day for twenty years
 and put any punch into the last performance; but if once a week
 during all that time housewife
 could have dinner at a restaurant
 she would come back to her gas
 range filled with new ideas and
 fresh enthusiasm.
 Change is the only reliable cure foI nagging. Whenever a woman gets to the place where she slaps the baby, and frets at the older children, and badgers her husband because they can't live in a fine house, the diagnosis of hei case calls for a weeks vacation. Some where away from husband and home and children.
 She will go away wondering how sht ever came to marry the human shrimp she did, and thinking that woman il fool who ties herself down with brats and loathing her house and home as { shack, and she will come back seeing her husband a fairy prince, believing her children are angels, and sure that home is the dearest place on earth.
 I beg you, gentlemen, to try the
 remedy that I offer you for the
 domestic ills that afflict you. Make
 it rule of your life to give your
 wife some amusement eevry week
 and it will be money in your pock- cts and happiness in your homes.

One Mother Says {:

OHU NIUlHtT DdyS
 An incentive to garden making and training in thoughtfulness for others was the result of the children's friend ship garden" When they were decid- ing what to plant in the way of flow CTS and vegetables in the plot that had been given them, I suggested planting spinach for Aunt Margaret, who is par ticularly fond of it, marigolds for the crippled boy next door, who loves the bright little flowers, ands so on. They had great fun taking their garden products to the people who appreciated them, and it added greatly to their pleasure in gardening.

For a mans
 prosperity is far more dependent
 upon his home conditions than he
 realizes. If he has a wife who is
 a spendthrift and waster, it IS
 virtually impossible for him to
 get ahead of the bill collector. If
 he is married to a woman who is
 a shiftless housekeeper and who
 feeds him on food that would poi
 son an ostrich, she impairs his eff
 ficiency by running his digestion
 and bringing dyspepsia upon him.
 If his wife is nagging, fretting,
 whining, she takes the heart out of
 him and gives him that oh-what's-
 the-use feeling that is death to all
 ambition and initiative.
 It is the morale of the home tha makes or breaks Q man. Send maI to work of a morning fresh from { quarrel with his wife and filled with { soggy breakfast, and he is foredoomeC failure. It is the well-fed men, witl happy homes and pleasant wives, whc are the go-getters. You never hear O man who has a cheerful, peaceful home and a jolly wife breaking dowr with nervous prostration.
 It is, therefore, to the interest
 of every husband to keep his wife
 in the proper frame of mind, to
 keep her bucked up and interested
 in her job. The simple secret of
 how to do this is just to give her a
 little amusement, and to realize
 that if all work and no play makes
 John A dull hoy. all work and no
 play makes Jane not only dull
 girl, but an exceedingly peevish
 companion.
 During the course of a year I ge at least 10000 letters from disgrun tied wives, who say that they are mar ried to men who are moral and upright who are kind to them and good pro viders, but that their husbands neve take them to any place of amusement never give them any little treat, neve try to bring any pleasure into thei lives, and that they have got to tn place where they feel they cannot stan, this deadly monotony any longer ant that they would run off and leave thei homes if it were hot for the children.
 Well, it doesn't take any Sherlocl Holmes to tell what sort of home woman is making who has got into tha mental condition, nor the kind of ; wife she is About as soothing to liv, with as fretful porcupine. You cal visualize the slap-dash meals she put upon the table. You can hear her nal at the children. You can see her talk the most innocent utterance of her hus

French Marksman
Wins Over American
In Olympic Shoot

Rheims, June 23.-(By A. P)-The
victory Of the French 23-year-old
Coquelin de Lisle over the 17-year-old
American, Private Marcus Dinwiddie of
the District OF Columbia National
Guard. at the very end of the 22-cali-
bre rifle match today provided the first
sensation in the Olympic shooting pro-
gram. De Lisle scored S9S out Of a
possible 400. and Dinwiddie 396.
De Lisle was generously embraced by
his enthusiastic compatriots as. flushed
ard dirty, he made his way from the
rife butts to the locker rooms. where
he took the Washington lads out

The Argentines. whose target was
hard by the French, gave rousins
cheer for the victory Of the Latin race,
taking consolation for Abelardo Rico's
failure to repeat with the 22-calibre
rife his performance of the previous
day with the French service rife when
he won the championship. The best
he could do was to tie with his team
mate MARITIME with $50.
The official classification in the min
iature (22-calibre) rift match at so
metres was: Coauelin de Lisle, sos;
Dinwiddie. United States, 396; Hart

National classification: France 10
points. Switzerland 81, United States s.
Finland 5. Sweden !.
The American team. while frankly
disappointed to today's showing. had
at least the satisfaction of knowing
that the first three individual marks

Ray Buker, on Way
For Olympic Contests,
Has Lacerated Toe

On Board the s. s. America. June
o3-(Ry Wireless to A. PD-The
American Olympic officials on board
the America wien they arrive in
Paris will recommend that the
Olympic point scoring system. which
has aroused considerab BILE controversy
for some time. shall provide that the
number of point scores be limited to
the number of entries permitted each
nation in each event.
This was decided on today and the
will be presented to
the International Amateur Federation
in Paris June 81. by the president, w.
G. Prout and delegates of the ANA
teur Athletic Union. The Olympic
authorities recently decided that in
scoring athletic events during the
big week of July to 10 ten points
should be awarded for first place.
five for second, four for third, three
for fourth. two for fifth and one for
sixth.
In ma jority of the track and field
events American entries are limited
to four. The Americans therefore
favor the Ave, three. two and one
basis of scoring, instead of the Olym-
pic system. Where there are six en-
tries as in the marathon and cross
country run, corresponding to the
number Of places scored the Ameri
cans recommend a basis by which
the first place shall not exceed the
total of the next three places. The
American feeling is that the French
over empha size first place in contests
and do not attach the proper value to
others who finish close.
Enthusiasm among the athletes is
high as they near the end of their
voyage, which. except for a score of
minor casualties, has benefited the
800 athletes aboard Ray Buker. the
Illinois A. c. middle distance runner,
is the latest casualty. He is suffer-
ing from lacerated toe. He and
the others on the hospital list are,
however. not seriously afflicted.
The America is expected to arrive
at Cherbourg Tuesday night and
dock on Wednesday. If this schedule
is carried out the athletes will reach
Paris late Wednesday afternoon.

On such basis, a stock paying three
