MOUTH HARP
PRICED

VOU may think q pearl neck.
lace would be the most
acceptable gift in the world or
an ermine wrap or a jewelled
pocket watch. But none of these
things would tempt the Maku
Indians Of the Amazon nearly 50
such as a simple mouth organ.
He might WAIVER slightly II you
offered him his choice of a burn
ing-glass, good knife or q
nouth-organ, but he very prob.
ably would find the last the ir-
resistible object.
These Indians are q thoroughly
independent. self sufficient tribe
OF people. They are scrupulously
clean, alert mentally, sturdy and
well developed in the gentle art
OF human kindness, at least to-
ward each other.
They have had practically no
contact with what we call civil
zation. All OF their weapons,
their boats and utensils are of
wood They know nothing OF
metals, even OF iron.
Needless to say, their clothes
are extremely limited. A loin
cloth is all that any man or wo-
man among them wears and the
children dispense with that super
fluffy. Yet, strange as it may
seem, although the mosquitoes.
gnats and insects infest the land
in great unacceptable droves. tor
turing the fully clad white man,
they seem to have no effect on
the native.
The naked brown skins are az
smooth and unbroken as though
such a thing as mosquito did
not exist.
These tropical mosquitoes work
quietly. They make no warning
noise. as the. North American mos
quito does. You are only, aware
of their arrival when you feel
the sharp sting of their contact
with your skin.
However, even the mosquitoes
are bearable when compared w tn
the great ants of every variety
that swarm everywhere. There
are black ants, red ants, white
ants--ants OF every known kind.
And they eat anything and every
thing. Nothing in the world is
safe from a hungry ant. The
man who wants to save his
clothes for wear in the tropics
must keep them away from the
ants, for they will devour cloth
just as readily as they viii food
or wood or anything else.

Us Girls

; raises q protest, they are rlsnt'
eousIy aggrieved.
Cant a girl have q little fun"
they cry. do you suppose I'm
going to bury myself In this old
house at my age?"
wherefore consider It high
time that some one hurled q few
mean words on this subject.
It's great to be kid
But it's even greater to know
when you get over being one.
A married woman OF twenty.
four with two children 10 NOT a
young girl Nor Is a single
woman OF that age a young girl.
They are both voting citizens
and are supposed to pay their
way in a practical world by hold
ing down steady jobs.
Holding down steady job
doesn't mean a round Of window
shopping in the middle Of the
afternoon. Any young woman
who attempted that in an office
would be promptly dismissed.
Any young wife who soldiers on
her job in the home ought to be
dismissed. WITHOUT ALI
MONY.
When woman marries she
definitely enters the Professional
Workers class. She can no longer
expect the leisure and diversions
which she had as a girl. She has
outgrown these things as she has
outgrown her milk teeth. It's up
to her to stop acting like a mere
slip Of a child. And it's also up
to her to stop THINKING about
herself in those terms.
A large proportion of our
divorces are caused by just such
thought. Pa and Ma insist on re-
garding themselves as Cutie and
Sweetie instead OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Which is no way to stay married.
Marriage is no Cutie job.
The Washington times., 1926-05-25

aI'M al YOUNG GIRL OF
TWENTY.FOUR" tells the whole
tale.
That's a common line in these
brisk days. We're all out to, be
young. And stay young. The
Youth idea has hit us like an
epidemic. Grandma dresses Ike
Granddaughter. Grandpa does his
daily dozen with Grandson. II
your arteries are hardening ard
your arches giving UP the fight,
never mind. old dear. Buy a new
sport suit-one of those nifty
pIaids-take a course OF Charles
ton lessons and you'll forget all
about II. Age is only a delusion.
Alta Boy!
That's the new attitude and It's
a good attitude. It's going to put
q new punch into all our program.
But It also tends to eliminate
a lot Of highly necessary re.
sponsibilities. Which isn't so good.
For instance, consider this ex-
tremely old fashioned job Of being
q wife. Take 1t any way you
please. wife Job involves con-
siderable toll and responsibility.
There are dishes to be washed.
flapjacks to-. be fried, budgets to
be made, dollars to be stretched
to thrice their original capacity.
It Is and always has been a two
fisted profession. And it takes
an honest-to-goodness Erown.up
woman to swing 1t properly.
Hitherto 1t has been assumed
that a female Of twenty-four who
has been married for five wears
and has two children is an hon
est-to-goodness grown-up woman.
But you'll have to do some fancy
sleuthing before youIl find any
such who will acknowledge that
they're grown'up ladies in this
dispensation.
Grown up? should say
NOT" they chorus in Indignation.

MEDITA ATOMS
OF a WIFE

Husband Money
AYINETENTE9s 81 the divorces
IN are founded right on the dol
lar bin.
"A man win ten the woman he
loves ali about his past, his relig-
ion, his sufHerings. his digestion,
and his sins but be win never ten
her anything about his BUs1-
NESS Of bis money.
There seem to be just three
kinds OF husbands in The world.
Those who hand over their
weekly salary check TO the Lit
tie Woman" keen their bank ac-
counts in 'thn Wife'5 name
and then have to beg for carfare.
Those who regard wife as ~
bond servant, squeeze quarter
until It hurts, and dole out the
pennies like radfun.
And those who throw money
around like q prince, no matter
WHOSE money 1t Is, and have to
rob the baby's bank every Tues
day.
The wives Of the first love them
and boss them.
The wives Of the second hate
them-and cheat them.
The wives OF the third nag
them, weep over themand finally
divorce them.
Any man who hands over his
last cent to his wife, hands over
his freedom, and makes her his
keeper" his guardian, and his
jailor. The hand that holds the
purse strings IL the hand that
rules the family! And no matter
how much q woman may love
man who puts himself :n her
power, she can't help subconsci-
ously losing little OF her respect
for him.
But the ''pinchpenny" husband
Is not merely despised, he Is

band becomes an obsession after
time Off from her housework to
do 1t. It's the only real pleasure
she has!
All that a woman asks Of the
man she loves is that he will
SHARE things with her. But,
that Is the last thing man ever
thinks Of doing. He would rather
play Santa Claus" and give"
her things that he can't afford,
than to share his business secrets
with her.
The only way the average wife
ever finds out anything about her
husbands business Is by worning
1t out Of his stenograuher; and
the only way she ever discovers
his real income, his real thoughts,
and his real secrets, is by going
through his safety-Vall;t-
he Is dead.
That is why so many wives are
afflicted with the ''gimmies." A
man may look upon his vile as a I.
pet" a luxury, liability or a
household utensil; as cherished
possession or bitter dispensation
but never as a PARTNER.
No matter how much money a
woman may be able to Make,
or to save, you never can con-
vince man that she al nows
how to handle it."
Yet no man and woman can
really know each other until they
have had to SHARE the same
dollar bill! That's why so many
husbands and wives live and die,

CHALICE OF ANTIOCH
THEME OF SPEAKER
Artist Conroy, Honor Guest. De-
scribes Noted Antiquity at
Arts Club Meeting.

WiIford s. Conrow noted New York
artist and portrait painter, was the
honor guest and speaker last night
at the Arts Club. He spoke on the
Great Chalice of AntiOck, illustrating
his lecture with numbers of slides
loaned by the present owners of the
Chalice, which is at present in safe
keeping in the vaults of a New York
bank.
1.-The Great Chalice of Antioch"
which seems destined to fill an i'm
pOrtant place in the modern Christian
world, was discovered by chance in
the ruins on, the site of the first
Christian Church in old Antioch, in
1910. 1t was ecpuired by Kouchakji
Brothers Of Paris, dealers in antiqui-
ties. and was there restored by Andre,
the most eminent artist known in the
restoration of antiques.
In 1914, when the Germans ap-
proched Paris, the Chalice was sent to
member of the firm in New York
for safe-keeping. DR.. Gustav Eisen,
the distinguished Swedish archeologist
has made it the subject Of intensive
study, and has dated the exterior
conta1ner vessel as having been
sculptured during the first century
A. D. by an unknown Greek artist,
This outer cup was undoubtedly made
to hold the inner cup of crudely
beaten silver.
Through no positive deduction can
be made, it is believed that this
inner cup 50 carefully preserved and
SO richly encased is the same cup
from which Christ drank at the Last
Supper, and this belief, Mr.. Conrow
supported with evidence so convinc-
ing that a profound impression was
made; upon every member of the big
audience.
The outer cup, comprising twelve
fingers, is a network of vines in
artistic design and symbolic de-
coration. Two Of the figures repre-.
sent Christ. in youth and in maturity;
and the other 10 are seated figures
of the apostles, all of whom, through
the studies and research of DR.. Eisen

members at the regular meeting of
the organization at the New Willard

VAN SWERINGEN ACT
PUZZLES WALL ST.
Offer to Return to Stockholders
Their Securities May Mean
Merger Plan Is Ended.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, March -11.-Without
revealing their intention to revise or
abandon the Nickel Plate merger plan,
recently barred by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. the Van Sweringen
interests yesterday offered to all stock
holders who have pledged their securi-
ties in support of the proposal an OPP
portunity to withdraw their deposits.
Through the Nickel Plate deposit
committee, the sponsors of the 81 .000,-
600 900 merger indicated that. pending
any further proceedings under the
plan. it was deemed for the best inter-
ests of the depositors" to return any
stocks desired upon the surrender of

keting Measure Friday.

The Senate agriculture committee
agreed today to vote on the co-opera-

Department of Agriculture next
Friday.
Chester Grey of the American
Farm Bureau Federation requested
that he be permitted to appear in
opposition to the amendment inserted
on the House floor including naval
stores among cooperative products.
Chairman Norris declared that since
there was mo opposition to the bill
as a whole either in the committee or
the Senate and the only dispute point
was that over naval stores" he
favored postponement of action. The
other members agreed.

with the Van Sweringens interpreted
the action as a move TO restore to
stockholders of the participating roads
complete control over their securities
on the ground that it was unfair to tie
up stocks under a plan which could be
made operative only by material
changes in terms. Although the
original agreement drafted in August,
1924, permitted the Van Sweringens to
hold the shares for four years, it was
held that their release would remove
grounds for complaint from any
quarter.
Whether the consolidation project
eventually is abandoned or recast in
new form, the bankers held that the
lifting of deposit restrictions would be
a preliminary and logical step.
The financial district. which still re-
mains in the dark as to the Van
Sweringens intentions. is looking to
meetings Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
and Hooking Valley directors in Cleve-
land today to shed some light on their
plans. Reports were current in Wall

Federal Body Freed of Response

Recent mine disasters in no way

Mines, the House mining committee
was told today by /. ID. Parker of
Pittsburgh chief engineer in charge
of the bureaus safety service work.
Questionable as to whether the
bureau had taken adequate leader

Mr.. Parker asserted that. due largely
to the bureaus work, mine fatalities
have been kept at the 1901 level while
coal production since that year has in
creased from 100000 tons to more
than 400 600 tons yearly
