EDISON TELLS WHEN
 A MAN IS EDUCATED
Famous Inventor Says Man Should Keep in Touch With
 Affairs of the Day

Discussing "what constitutes an ed ucation," Thomas A. Edison said man is educated when he is somewhat fla miliar with every branch of the en- vironment in which we live-social, commercial and scientific.
 This holds out hope to the young people struggling upward in the world today. They can educate themselves. No better and more concise fund of information is held out to men and women, boys and girls today than The New Universities Dictionary, now be- ing distributed to readers of this paper. This dictionary condenses in one vol ume most of the information concern ing the worlds present-day activities. It is more than vocabulary, more than a mere list of words-it is a com plete inventory of today's English.
 This papers offer of this remark able book has proven to be highly pop ular. The demand for the dictionary continues with increasing force. AL ready new supplies have been ordered, and the publishers say they have equal demands from other cities, making it hard for them to keep up with orders. Since this is purely an educational of fer, and the books are given out at nominal expense, the mere cost of handling, the time limit will soon be reached, and readers are urged to get their copies without delay.

there is no way of ridding themselves short of divorce.
 To begin with, every man and woman in the world are what their families have made them. They are the sum total of heredity and environment. They are diseased or healthy; we'll bred or i'll bred, according to the blood that runs in their veins.
 More than that, they have high ideals or low ideals; they are courteous and considerate, or ill hammered and boor- ish; they are unselfish or selfish. &C., cording to how they were brought up. They are mothers handiwork. And so every man and every woman who get married are united until death do ne

 Brother comes and stays by the month, and wears husbands clothes, and smokes his cigars, while he casually looks around for a job, Sister has to have an operation, and husband has to pay for it. Nieces and nephews are all ways needing something done to their teeth, or their adenoids, or to have new clothes and shoes, and the woman gives, and her husband pays.
 Many man who works hard and makes good money never has anything to show for his labor at the end of his lifetime because his wife has given it all away to her people. And she has committed this crime against the man she loves without realizing how cruel and unjust she has been to him.

The young man who says he isn't marrying girls family and the girl who says she isn't marrying a mans mother, seem to think that there is some magic in the marriage ceremony that blots out the past, with all its old affections, and grat- itudes, and sense of obligation, and that enables them to start their new life with a clean slate and no one else to consider.
 This is far and away from being true, and the finer and the more loyal the man or woman the less it is true.

It is difficult thing to draw the line between ones duty to ones husband and wife and ones family, but undoubtedly the husband or wife has the greater claim. No man has right to sacrifice his wife to his family. No woman has right to sell her husband in bondage to her family, and neither has right to inflict in-laws on the other. But nobody respects these rights of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-01

Women sacrifice their husbands to their families far more frequent ly than men offer up their wives on their ancestral altars. It is the wife's family that is eternally camped in the spare bedroom, and far more men are supporting their wife's parents than are supporting their own.
 The tie between woman and her family is a very strong one. The appeal pof her family's needs goes to her heart, and so when she sees chance to help her own people she is very apt to do it without even considering the hardship that it puts upon her husband.

scales even between ones husband or wife and ones family.

Take the case of a man who, before his marriage, has been the mainstay of his family. He has supported his peo- pie. He has indulged his sisters in pretty clothes. He is sending his young CT brothers through college His nieces and nephews feel they have a perfect right to call upon him for whatever they want.
 Often when such a man gets married he lacks the courage to cease being the family easy mark, and he denies his wife the things she has right to in order to lavish money on his family. l know one case of woman who slaved through fifty years of wedlock helping to support her husbands ne'er-do-well brothers, who were always in debt and always coming to her husband for money, that he could never refuse them, although his own wife and children had to pay the price in bitter privation.

LL.F IOO VIII De so klnd, began ss Mrs. Ponn, as her husband light ed his after-dinner cigar, "you may help me compose letter"
 But composing letters is one of the best things you do" said Pond.
 "This is different. You know we are starting the Happy Home Helpers, a new society-" -' T refuse to be q party to it! I've just read the list of 750 societies work ing here in the city, and I will not be accessory to founding the seven hundred and fifty-first."
 Wont you even let me tell you about it? All those you read about are hos pitals, employment agencies and such like. Ours is just to teach people how to make home happy, whether on the boulevards or the back streets"
 "It certainly is different if you don't need money"
 Silly! Of course we need money for paid workers, offices and all that sort of thing"
 Ut is a noble object. Why not be- gin now? You can make me very happy by letting me off"
 "When you see our prospects you will contribute of your own accord. Now please sit down at the desk and help write it."
 "Shall I write it so as to bring tears to my own eyes? You'd better make a draft, and let me revise it.' And Pond ostentatiously became absorbed in a magazine.
 "Oh, by the way, Ada" he said, at length, my old friend Ingham is in town, and I've asked him and his wife to dinner. You'd better send note to their hotel, too."
 "Oh, Ripley, is he the Oklahoma oil magnate?"
 "The very one, but for Pete's sake don't pull any begging stuff on him when he is our guest
 Ripley, you know I should never commit such a breach of hospitality"
 The night of the dinner Mrs. Pond was slightly pink and fluttery, but as course followed course, to the evident enjoyment of her guests, her spirit re- gained its accustomed serenity, while the very flattering interest that she showed led Ingham to relate many thrill ing experiences. Suddenly it came over him that he had been his own topic quite long enough. And what are your interests, Mrs. Pond?" he inquired.
 "Oh, like most of my friends, I find my diversion in charity and welfare work. Even when we play bridge or some society or other gets the ticket money. Right now we are start ing the Happy Home Helpers, on new basis, not material help, but just teach ing people how to bring hanniness into the home. l have made draft of our prospectus and Ripley is going to re- wise it-maybe you can help, too"
 Not l." Ingham glanced laughingly at his wife. Giving advice is too costly"
 "Yes, Mrs. Pond, he can't afford to make suggestions" Mrs. Ingham joined in.

Because a woman marries and has a husband does not make her lose her father and mother, and her sisters, and her brothers less, or cause her to be less interested in their welfare.

If wallpaper becomes stained, seal lop the edges of a piece of new wall paper, and paste it over the place. The mend will not be noticeable.
 When the sink becomes greasy, espe- cially one of those made of glazed ware, put little paraffin oil on a piece of flannel, and rub the sink with it. It will remove all grease, thus saving much time and labor. The smell of paraffin can easily be removed with hot water and soap and then flushing with cold water.
