Viewpoint

"Flatter your husband" say the
experts. PRAISE him with mighty
acclaim so that he will know him
self great In the land and increase
In ability"
And very good advice that, only
please remember that little of it
goes a long way.
Good and wise is the wife who
stands ready at all times to EN-,
courage her man with admiration
and praise, but now and then q bit
Of constructive criticism may also
help.
We have all known those spine
less women who were merely echoes
of their families, who stood with
bated breath and suspended ANNA.
ton while Friend Husband held
forth. That used to be the style In
wives. but the fashion has gone out.
1t is not humanity possible for n
woman to live with a man, 1 don't
care how perfect he is, without see
ing some flaw in his nature ; or
habits-that is, it is not humanity
possible for the modern woman to
do that. For has she not had just as
good an education as he has? Has
she not observed the world from the
same perspective? Has she not had
experience in business, in society,
commingling, even as he, with many
human beings?
How, then, shall she sit, figur-
atively speaking. always in adora-
ton at his feet?
And If she does this, 1t often re-
acts very badly upon the husband
and works her own destruction.
Husbands, like all humans, must
have a certain amount OF praise, but
not more than their share. We are
told not to criticise our children be-
cause it is likely to inflict upon them
the dreaded inferiority complex, but
on the other hand we are supposed
to call gentle attention to their err
rors of behavior. This same rule
applies very well to the men we
have married.
or course. realize that there are
pOIHo HldleS lelL over from Inc dark
ages, making husbands who win
never admit that they are in the
wrong about, anything, who resent
bitterly any criecism from a wife.
For women who have such men for
matesy one can only pray Gods pity.
But the average American male Is
not built that way. He is generally
open to reason and can see his own
faults. He is not so puffed up with
conceit that he Will not lend
willing ear when his wife calls at
tention to the things he might
practice for his betterment.
Praise the virtues OF your hus-
bands, good women. but don't be
afraid to criticise their faults. You
have to live with them, you love
them, and yours is certainly the
privilege of attempting to improve
them. 1t can be done.

Fine Shades

RI OBERT SCOTT, now in California pris.
IN on, probably will be brought back to Chi
cago to be tried for murder. His brother Rus.
sell, convicted of a part in that murder, is ex-
pected to testify against him.
How is this? Russell Scott escaped hang
ing because he was insane and, accordingly, not
responsible. Is he too insane to be punished
for murder but still sane enough to testify in
a court Of law on an issue that may mean life
or death to fellow creature?
Verify, the fine shades Of this illegal in
sanity racket are too complicated for mere
layman

A Sermon for Today
-RY Rev. John q. Gunn-

Of the sext, There is a way which
seemeth right unto man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death. "
This surely is true Of gambling. The
way of the gambler may seem easy
and enticing at first, but if he fol
lows it to the end, he will find him.
self facing hunger, poverty, de
sertion and a miserable death.
Gambling is one of the greatest
evils of our time. 1t has destroyed
many a home. 1t has brought bank
ruptcy to many a business concern.
1t units men for business and in.
dustry. 1t is the cause of uncounted
dishonesties. 1t Is the source OF all
kinds of frauds, committed in order
to get money to continue the game.
1t is responsible for many a suicide.
1t has sent thousands to our prisons
and lunatic asylums. It has left
many victim stranded in old age

II YOU are ever tempted to gamble,
let this word be warning to you.
Beware Of the first beginning. Do
not tamper with the gambling bust
ness in any form. There are many
ways in which gambling is carried
on, but there is no safe way. You
are no stronger than thousands of
others, who have been ruined by this
evil. The only safe course is to let
gambling in all its forms absolutely
alone

PENSION FOR
MRS. MARSHALL

m FRS. THOMAS r. MAR
I'M SHALL, widow OF the be-
@ loved Hoosier statesman
and former vice president. viii be
granted $4,000 pension If the bill
introduced in Congress Tuesday by
Representative Aidrich of Rhode
Island is passed.
1t will be no more than simple
justice.
Mr.. Marshall devoted the best
yeats of bis life to public service.
-Four years as Governor Of Indiana
and eight years as Vice President
of the United States, during one
OF the trying periods of the ma
TONS history, at a salary scarcely
sufficient to maintain the dignity
OF his position. While other men
were acquiring fortune he served
and died leaving only a great
name and a modest estate.
A man who occupies the post OF
prime minister or other great Of
fices in the British Government.
upon retiring is automatically
granted a pension sufficient to
make it unnecessary for him to
scramble for living in after
years.l
In America there is no provision
for our ex-presidents and ex-vice
presidents. They can live or starve
or pass their declining years work
ing desperately to provide for their
families. Witness General Grant,
IN the grip Of fatal malady, de-
voting his dying days to the com
pletion OF his memoirs for the sake
Of the money it would bring his
family.
Only by special acts OF Congress
in each case are the widows Of
former presidents and vice presl-
dents taken care of. If Congress
falls to act they can apparently
take in washings as far as this
great republic is concerned. For
the richest nation in the world we
have sons surprisingly niggardly
streaks in our system Of govern
ment.

II Blows when the Pressure IL
Too Great.
BY The Stoker-

In these days of republics the title
Of president seems nothing out of
the ordinary. But back in the early
days when George Washington was
chosen to rule over young America
the question OF an appropriate title
was real problem. "Excellency"
was suggested, 'highness" and "elec-
tive highness." Several felt the title
president" would be common.
Adams, who had lived abroad sew.
eral years and found it hard to break
from court tradition, frankly admit.
ted he felt the term president" was
too ordinary and would put the high
est official OF the land on a level with
the governor of Bermuda. And it
was Adams who made the proposal
that the sergeant alarms be ad.
dressed as the usher of the black
rod"

How does the United States
Naval Observatory determine the
correct time? Where is the stand
ard time clock kept?
Time is determined at the Naval
Observatory from observations Of
stars from selected list of about
$50 clock stars. These sare stars
whose positions are, known to high
degree OF precision and whose ap-
parent places from day to day are
given in the American Ephemeris
and are therefore readily obtainable.
Only stars which cross the meridian
within 20 degrees of the zenith are
included in order that what is
known as the azimuth error may be
small. The observations are made
with transit instrument, six stars
being observed each night, three
north and three south of the Zenith.
The standard time clocks, three in
number, are mounted on separate
brick piers in the clock vault. Each
pier weighs approximately 1000
pounds and rests upon a solid con-
crete base extending some distance
into the ground.

MUSCADINE GRAPES CAN

Each year a large surplus of
Muscadine grapes which might be
utilizer at home, in the South, in
culinary ways is allowed to go to

not ship well but if preserved in va

TEXAS WATCHES
FOR NEXT STEP
IN GREAT BOUT
Fergusons Counted Out-Threa Ne n
Court Battle To Bar
Moody

Forth Worth, Tex, Aug. 3d.
Texas today watched for threatened
steps against the candidacy of Dan
Moody, young attorney general, who
Saturday smothered Mrs. Miriam A.
Ferguson, governor under a ponder
Gus majority, in the face of the GU
bernational nomination.
During the entire campaign climax
ing Saturday, an undercurrent of
threats" and "waring" was heard
on all sides emanating from James
e. Ferguson, husband of the COVER
nor, and from Ferguson supporters.
The warnings were that if Moody
won the run off primary last Satur-
day, steps would be taken before the
courts of the state to bar Moody's
name from the November general
election BALLOT. Basis for such act
ion was Ferguson's charge that Moo
dy had violated the state election
laws by accepting campaign contribu-
tions from other candidates for state
offices. Moody gained his large vote
at the first primary July "a "by
fraud at an unfair and dishonest ell
ection" Jim Ferguson warned, in
speeches for his wife.
Ferguson warned that if Moody
were nominated the courts would rule
Moody's name off the ballot, leaving

Texas "to the disgrace of having a
republican elected governor for the

The contributions complained of
were returned by Moody, who laugh
ed at Jim's cepe hanging. Texas
laughed at Furgsson also the tune
of about two to one Saturday, ac-
cording to returns tabulated by the
Texas election bureau. Totals an
nounced when the bureau closed
last night were 469,182 for Moody
and 247,100 for Mrs. Ferguson.
Asked for a statement at Austin
late Sunday, Mrs. Ferguson declin-
ed with the assertion that her show
ing of a quarter million votes sure
ly indicated that she has consider
able influence with the voters Of
