Fist Fight In the Navy
Pilots, Not Polo Players

Secretary Wilbur decides wisely United States sailors
shall not engage in prize fights any admission fee
When sailors fight shall be by the sailors of the sailors
and for the sailors"
Fist fighting has nothing do with naval warfare so why
allow brutality at all?
Secretary Wilbur let hope will not allow fights between
sailors officers Sailors in the American Navy should
not be put to fighting for the their superiors
men put their dogs gamecocks to fighting
To that may be added that soldiers in American Army
should be made hostlers stable servants rub
bing down the horses of officers that play polo Any
enlsting in the Army should be put work as
servant
Incidentally the young officers that permitted to
themselves and spend the taxpayers money polo which
nothing warfare would be better employed thew
like risk perecting themselves pilots This country will
need air pilots day It will need polo players

COMPARING

A PLEA for all mothers to visit

Restlessness. inattention. delayed
obedience may never have been
noticed until the mother compares
her child with other normal chill

FLOWERS OF
AUTUMN

SG'T'HE last flowers of autumn
l. have a charm equalled only
by the first buds of spring" says
Dorothy Giles, who tells in the No
vernber McCal1's what flowers will
survive the falling leaves, and how
to plant them.
Miss Giles says:
There are atumn crocuses
blooming In drifts Of violet, mauve
and saffron yellow under the
shrubbery. Unlike the spring Gro
cuses these are planted only three
weeks before they are to bloom.
The flower-buds soon appear-with-
out foliage. Leave them in the
ground. as they are entirely hardy.
and If undisturbed will increase.
THE hardy chrysanthemums
are the chief glory of the autumn
garden, coming as they do after
the dahlias and the Michaelmas
daisies. Too often these late
corners are given the poorest place
in the garden.
Tn chrysanthmum has a vigor-
Gus root system which demands
that the clumps are taken up every
second or third year-spring 10 the
time to do this-and redivided. At
this time plenty of fertilizer should
be dug into the ground where the
plants are to be set.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
Who's WhO-In the Family
BY Helen Rowland.

Who's WhO-In the Family
IT is perfectly easy to tell
Il whether it's the Lord OF the
Manor or the Lady Of the House.
who Is BOSS In the Family.
You don't need any intuition, or
any Indian guide. or any Monte
Carlo system to help you work it
out. It's all there right on the
first page. like the Story of the
Opera!
You can tell who holds the
whip-hand and the reins and who
decides what to have for dinner
and where to go for the summer,
just by the way a man honks the
horn when he's waiting for his
wife. Whether he blows 1t rau.
cously at peremptory five-minute
intervals or touches 1t apologet.

You can tell by the expression
on a mans face, when his wife IL

whether it Is sore" and resent.
full or just panied and worried.
And by the way the windows
and curtains Of the car are regu.
lated-Whether for the convent.
ence Of the driver or for the com.
fort of the assistant driver" in
the back seat.
You can tell by the way q man
tenderly arranges the wrap on
his wife's shoulders-or by the
way he just throws it on; and
by the way he carefully helps her
across the street-or the way he
just SHOVES her across.
And you can tell by the as.
sured way in which a man accepts
an invitation to dinner or a week.
end party-or the way he looks
surrep >itiously at his wife and
waits until he gets q wireless
telling him what to do.
You can tell by the way a man
saunters in carelessly bringing
tiously sneaks out and calls up
his wife privately to feel her
out" and then watches where
the guest puts his ashes.
You can tell by the way a man
behaves at a party-whether he
wraps himself in a smoke screen
and absorbs himself in a blonde
and his own amusement. or
watches for his wifes S o S and
her signals for right and left
turns and full stops.
And you can tell by the way
q man drives a car. Whether he
listens to his wifes warnings and
exhortations from the back seat
and slows down to ASK the way
Or just goes right on at 80
miles an hour, and "lets her
rave"
Oh, yes! 1t doesn't take Sher.
lock Holmes. a clairvoyant. or a
psycho-analyst to discover who
chooses the morning newspaper
and the brand of cigarettes for
the family.
It's all as clear as the Cali
fornia weather. and as obvious as
a Florida real estate sign!
Except, OF course, where the
odds are even, and married
with locked horns! Then the bet
good to the last:

Napoleon the Great did IT die of
cancer, declared Sir Berkeley Moyni-
han. a well known surgeon of Leeds.

Il have had the opportunity of eX-
amining the viscera of Napoleon and
found that there was absolutely no

spread of the smoking habit among
girls, their mothers and aunts.
