The Four Fundamental Failures Of
the American Home

The home is at present turbulent
haven, an uncertain citadel. But
! why?
In my opinion the four things that
chiefly threaten the security of the
American home today are these:
/. The lack of honesty within the
home.
.. The lack of proper business
basis for the home.
3. The lack Of a sense Of proper
ton within the home.
4. The lack of courtesy and Of fun
within tho home.
Take honesty first. 1t is a funda-
mental thing; it means to a home
what foundations mean to a house;
and yet 1t is a thing In which the
average American home is remlss.
what! Not honest in my home?"
hear the protesting chorus rise all
over the country from East to West.
Why. l always punish my children
for not telling the truth"
Yes, we instruct our children to tell
the truth, and we sometimes punish
them for not telling the truth: but
nevertheless, we do not train them to
tell the truth. Training must be made
up Of example as well as of precept.
and 1T IS right here that the Amer
lean home so frequently fails In
fact, our children often get their first
start In equivocation in the very
places that should be their strong
holds against deceit. their own
homes.
Mother. you're wanted on the
phone." pipei the siX-year- old son of
a friend the other afternoon as we
sat drinking a cup of tea in her
pleasant home.
Find out who Is calling. and say
that mother isn't in just now" she
commanded.
II don't know what I'm going to do
with Billy she confided a little later.
Hes as bright as a new coin, he's
obedient in everything else. he's af-
fectionate and helpful-but he's the
most dreadful little liar! | punish
him for ffbbing nearly every day OF
his life, and yet | can't seem to get
him to discriminate between honesty
and dishonesty. What do you adj

You might try always telling the
truth to him." l suggested--a little
dryly, I fear.-From an article by
Mrs. John D. Sherman In The De-
lineator for November.

American Women Come To
Aid of Sulgraye Manor

New York. Jan. "a. P.l--The an
cestral home in England of George
Washington, Sulgrave Manor, In
Northamptonshire, will henceforth be
maintained and preserved by the in
come Of fund Of 100000 raised In
this country by the National Society
of the Colonial Danes Of America.
In making this announcement. Mrs
Joseph Il. Lamar, national president
Of the society. explained that the
organization was directed under the
terms Of its constitution, to preserve
and restore buildings connected with
the early history of the United
States. Before the world war it
sent $4,000 to England to restore the
manor.
Committees were organized to COL
lect this sum of money, in 40 states
and tho District of Columbia, and all
worked under the national commit
tee, of which Mrs. William Adams
Brown of New York, was chairman.
The sum desired was fully sub
scribed, and will shortly be place in
the hands of permanent trustees.
Already the income is going forward
to England, there to be expended for
the physical care and preservation
of the house whence came the an
cestors of Washington, and the gar
dens and grounds surrounding 1t.
The greater part Of the 100000
was given by the DANES them
selves, but generous aid was also re-
ceived from the public. Not dollar
has been deducted from the sub
scriptions on account of collection
expenses, all of which were paid by
the societies or by individual Danes.

Why Schurz' Friend
Liked to Be Jailed

Friedrich Hoffman. who was in Jail
with Carl Schurz and other famous
"Fortyniners' who participated in the
instruction in the Palatinate and
Baden and who later fed 10 the
United States, recently rounded out
his 50th year Of uninterrupted service
as Berlin cab driver.
Hoffman says III the early days po-
licemen frequently threw him into
Jail ii he was caught smoking cigar
while on duty or if button was
missing from his uniform. A fine Of
three marks usually was imposed. but
rather than pay the sum, which then
was q considerable amount, he
elected to accept Jail sentences; as
the political prisoners in those days
were good companions and no one
felt it any disgrace to be locked up
with men of such high Intelligence.
It was during one CT his terms of in
generation that Hoffman met

As Fresh as the New Year

There's nothing old about Pass
in Revue" the big minstrel show to
be given at the Augusta City hall
on Wednesday evening, Jan. Z, by
the Headquarters Company. Seth In
fantry Brigade. Every feature about
the production from the opening
chorus to the last number will be
found just as fresh as the Happy
New Year
Choruses in musical comedies
work hard, but they have no more
work than the young men and wo-
men in the chorus Of Pass in Re-
vue." Every song number during the
circle" has a dance of it's own by
the chorus, or some other surprise
to spring. These terpsichOrean
features, backed by the brilliant
stage settings and snappy costumes,
will make a picture that will show
the way for III minstrel shows to
come. Don Metcalf, Charles Bres-
cite, Lester Hart, Leslie Hall, Will
liam Sellar and Elliott Goodwin are
the end men. Then there are men Of
the company in the chorus with
Harry Dean as interlocutor. Eight
Young women, Gladys Metcalf,
Barbara Froberger. Barbara Haskell,
Francena Overlook. Dora Cameron.
Mary pease. Constance Wade and
Elizabeth Harris, are assisting the
company and many Of the numbers,
both in the circle and the olio are
built around these performers.
Tell Me n Goodnight Story, by
Miss Cameron and the Radio Girls
will be one OF the prettiest num-
bers ever shown in the city.
Bresette and Hart have a scream
of an act, Don Metcalf and Miss
Pease in The Customs Inspector
offer rafting new features while the
Bad Men" number and Miss Haskell
in her song are other specialties that
are way above the ordinary.
The printed program for the pro-
duction-absolutely free from adver-
tisements, will be a souvenir well
worth keeping
