playing in "Candida" has been sub

nervous little habit of kicking his

Trial marriages, trial divorces and
such subjects receive widespread at
tention when they concern people of
the stage or literature. A similar
situation in the home-of an office
worker passes unnoticed. He ), and
his wife are joint owners Of an apart
ment house in a quiet nook of the
city. He occupies third flood
apartment, the wife and baby a
fourth floor apartment. When the
matter of their separation reached
the courts the judge announced he
could find no better solution Of their
difficulties than the arrangement
they already had effected. So the
first of each month they collect the
rents together and divide the money.
In the Yorkville- Bellevue district,
bounded by Fourth avenue, the East
River, Fourteenth and Sixty-fourth
streets, there are rs hospitals, elm
les and public health institutions.
The sick and death rate in that COM
munity is greater than in any other
section of the city, mainly because
of poor housing conditions of it's
214,OOO inhabitants. Many medical
and welfare organizations now are
uniting in an experiment to prolOng
the average life of the inhabitant of
that section 20 years.

ADVENTURE OF
THE, TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Mrs. Redbreas. sat on her nest
making happy noise in her throat.
She was saying over and over to
herself. won't Robin be surprised!
Won't Robin be surprised! I've got a
fine birthday present for him. l
won't say word about it until to-
morrow morning. That's his birth
day"
Just then Robin hoped up on the
branch and pushed aside the twig Of
leaves that was his front door.
hello, Roberta!" he said. "What
are you talking about all to your
|self?"
"Oh, nothing much!" fibbed Mrs.
Redbreast. 81 was just humming a
tune. How was the picking today 2"
Bad! Bad!" muttered Robin.
Couldn't be worse! Why, when
got there what do you think! 1t was
scarcely light enough to see, buts:the
pec-wees and the song-sparrows and
the 'blackbirds were all there AHEAD
of me. And every worm was gone.

to get up earlier" @FsS=.
"Tee-hee!" went Mrs. Redbreast.

band.

Rcdbreast. "You 60 now and get
something to eat. I'll watch the
nest and see that nobody bothers the
eggs"
But when Mrs. Redbreast came
back. he was sound asleep, his head
under his wing.
Mrs. Redbreast went to the cup
board and got out Robins birthday
present, an alarm clock, and set it
for five.
That's before sun-up!" she said
softly. "And he'll get all the nice
juicy fat worms he wants"
She set it on the mantelpiece and
then she went to bed, too.
The next morning while it was
still dark, something went "Brrrr!
Brrrr!"<
Mrs. Redbreast woke up with a
jump. Then she remembered. 1t
was Robins birthday and it was his
present waking him up.
Robin opened his eyes and spread
his wings in alarm. whats wrong 2"
he shouted. "The world is blowing
up. Wake, Roberta. Something
awful has happened"
"Sh! Not so loud" whispered his
wife. ITS your new alarm clock.
See. it's still dark and you can go
down and get all the worms you
want"
"Well, we'll, well!" laughed Robin.
What smart woman you are! That
was grand idea. Depend upon it,
I'll lose no time. I'll bring some to
you Also"
And away he flew.
But in about two minutes he was
back.
"Say!" he said GROSSLY. "That old

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT,

l will tell you, my friend, that
have never in my life been moved to
such an emotional thrill as at this
ceremony. l found the tears run
ming down my cheeks in rivulets. l
tried to get my handkerchief but
my hands were shaking so that
could not get it. The thought of
that sanity woman putting her boy
into the care of yours was one of
the most wonderful things l have
ever known.
Little Jack bent his head over the
little faced animal in his arms
and kissed it. which closed the pro-
ceedings, for the nurse took the baby
from the room.
No, l forgot. AS soon as the boy
was relieved of the baby he crawled
upon the bed beside Leslie and as
his hand caressed her face he kissed
her eyes and hair, and with great

Jack Prescott, you need killing
but | envy you just the same. Two
men are growing up who will call
you father Two men will come onto
the worlds battle-ground and fight
a good fight because they have called
your wife "mother."
You, old chap, haven't had very
much to do with it, and what you
have had has made two women quite
unhappy.
Leslie is growing more beautiful
every day. For a moment l watched
her tonight with her son in her
arms and yours clinging to her knees
and she made for me the picture of
motherhood divine"

of young Condon's. Leslie told me
about it. Isn't it strange, old chap,

MORE OF US
ARE LEARNING

Annual announcement is just mace
of the attendance at American uni
versities.
As usual, Columbia and California
lead--Columbia in total enrolment
and California in full-time regular
students.
The figures for these two super
universities are: Columbia, total
30,02l; regular, 1881. Califoln MIA,
total 24,l12; regular 1850.
The number of full-time regular
students in the 25 largest UNIVERSE
ties is 1882. The smaller institu-
tiOns would doubtless raise the total
college population to more than
quarter Of million.
This is more individuals Exposed
to" higher learning than were ever
in contact with it in the world be-
fore, And yet it is not SO many.
In the 40 years of the working life
Of the present, students it would
mean the accumulation Of something
more than a, million college grad
yates. or twice that number who
had attended college, in a popula-
ton more than hundred times as
large.
The present student enrolment
represents only one family in hun
dred.
That is better than the one in a
thousand, or ten thousand, of pre-
vious generations. But it still means
that in the most democratically en-
lightened country in the world. in
its most enlightened age, only one
in a hundred of its people will have
learned even the alphabet of the
language in which modern knowledge
is written,
A few hundreds. as always, will
create or discover knowledge. A few
thousands will understand it.
The millions will use it-and fancy
themselves sharers of it's "enlighten-
ment."

FIGHTING DEATH Is DRAMA
NOT DEATH ITSELF

To dramatic death, you must
make it individual, and leave some
thing for conscious human effort.
Where, rs in Nome and Sand Cave,
death can be fought by work. the
workers are eager and the world
applauds.
But, unnoted, by thousand bed
sides. thousand watchers wait,
denied even the solace Of work.
Sometimes Life wins, sometimes
Death; but at last always Death.
A whole, generation goes, only its
latest ones even mourned by their
successors. Death, just abstractly,
is as commonplace as seed time and
harvest.
'Ubi stunt qui ante nos in mundo
fucre ?"-where are those who were
in the world before s?"-the stu
dents lightly sing, and draw no moral
save "gaudeamus, igitur, juvenes
dunn sumus"-"let Us have a good
time, then, while we are young"
1t was wisely ordained that we
should fight against dying. and ac-
cept death. It is fighting that makes
drama--or news.

FABLES ON HEALTH II
BEST OF ALL FOODS

What is the best single food we
have? Mrs. Jones of Anytown was
asked in her study of foods for
health's sake. -.
Without a moments hesitation she
answered that it was milk.
Milk contains all the elements or
dinarily needed for healthy growth.
1t is the only food of babies, calves,
pigs and puppies, and if these grow
and thrive on IL, it, must contain oil
