Madge Curbs Her Maids Shrewisl
 Temper by Use of strategy.


 For my own personal selfish ends I was delighted to see Jim's just an- ger against Katie vanquished by his loyal consideration of the nervous strain she was undergoing in getting up the welcoming needed. l realized too, that Jim felt also an irritated conviction that lenient tenderness was the last thing katie's inCreas- ingly shrewish temper needed. l req lized too, that Jim's softened mood, induced by my appeal 10 his chlv- airy concerning my dinner party, might last through the evening and be proof against the barbs Of Katie's temperish tongue, but that sooner or later the marital problem of the two humble folk who had served ITS so loyally would have 10 be solved.
 There was nothing further I could do as far as Jim's reactions were concerned. I knew that he would rgidly suppress his anger no matter what provocation Katie gave him, but I could not keep back one re illII LII NDitliI4'l!l U bOIl I4'9 SrA4- deprecation, for in that, 1 was sure lay the roots of katie's shrewlsh hossiness.
 You do yourself an injustice, Jim" I said warmly. You are neither SO slow. nor Katie so quick s you both imagine. You have lndulged her 100 much, that Is all and when this dinner Is over and she Is rested, I shall take the young woman in hand myself. I am exceedingly grate- ful 10 you, however. for sacrificing your own feelings TO the success Of our party. Now will you please take the car, and 20 10 the Ticer farm for young MT. Veritzen? He will be wait ing for you Tell him that I said everything was all right, and that he is to come back with you, but that I want him to see me before anyone else. I want you to go and come across the fields instead Of the road, and bring him in the side veranda to the dining-room. I will have Katie call me as soon as you arrive. And l am afraid I must ask you 10 hurry"

Cubby was having a good time. He was having q wonderful time. Thosa blueberries certainly did taste good. IL was SO long since he had had any that he had forgotten how good they were. Like all little Bears, he was greedy. Greedy folk can seldom think of anything but their slomachs when they have food, So Cubby just didn't pay any attention to anything else but the gobbling up of as many of those bluoberries as he could get. When h. had stripped one branch he would pull down another. You see. these were high-Lush ulueberries.

THE sun AND THE EARTH

DR.. Michael l. Pupin, retiring president of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science
said rather startling thing in his address at the
annual meeting of the association.
"The next 25 years will not merely see men speak
ing to men all over the world The earth itself and the
SUM- the great center of all terrestrial energy
which means all life will be speaking to men by
means of electrical communications, and men will
derstand the messages.
81 myself have watched my instruments the
rival of these cosmc messages. The earth currents
in transatlantic cables and the fading of radio
sages rise and fall rise and fall, very slowly taking
hours and hours to complete cycle. 1t is like watch
ing the deliberate and irresistible breathing of cosmc
giant. l can only guess that it means constant,
slowly rhythmetic change in the electrical relations
between the and earth. But where l can only
speculate today, the next generation will know
For thousands of years students of the old secret
doctrines have maintained that the and earth alike
were entities, that they breathed-that is, to say,
functioned in rhythmic way-and that they could
communicate. But not, of course, in any way they
similar the human entities could their commun
ications take the form of of languages When
science and the ancient teachings of the oldest reg
ions agree there is generally solid basis for the
belief of each. DR.. Pupn is probably right in his
main principle.
But 25 years is an extremely short time If he had
said $500 years should feel more inclined to believe
his prophecy Yet undoubtedly day will be grant
ed by way of modern science that petition of the
Hindu: "Unvei to us, pray, the face of the true
spiritual sun, now hidden by of golden light"

QUANTITY PRODUCTION UNDESIRABLE

Following the request of Governor Young, serious
effort is being made by the present assembly to keep
the introduction of bills down to the lowest pos
sible minimum
This movement will meet with the approval of
practically every citizen of the state and If adhered
to during the balance OF the first part of the session.
will allow the lawmakers time to accomplish some
good.
In past years the tendency has seemed to be not
quality but quantity, in the matter Of introducing new
bills Asseb ymen and senator's seemed to be ndulg-
ing in contest, to which could introduce the
most At times it seemed though the con
testants tried who could introduce the most udl
measure
Anyone who takes the time to look the laws of
the state will be astonished at the number that al
ready the statute books, covering almost every
ceivable point and yet the lawmakers find plenty
that they consider necessary.
Thousands of bills introduced at each session of
the legislature, until it is wonder that California
is accused on the outside of having top-heavy leg
islaton
Without question there is necessity for changes in
various laws, for amendments and new laws to meet
changed conditions but the effort to keep the
down to the lowest figure is laudable
The governor has pointed out the right path, and if
the legislators stick with him. the present assembly is
certain to accomplish its objective-"fewer and bet

Two vaudeville acts, the Stillmans
and Aimee Mcpherson, promised to
run as long on the American stage
as 'Aoie's Irish Rose" on Broadway.
The married life Of Bud and Lena
Stillman was ushered in this week
by the hurting of crockery.
After the ceremony at Grand
Anse, Que, at which the farm girl
became the bride of the wealthy
heir, Mrs. Eff" Stillman became
angry at cameramen and threw
china at them.
The remainder of the honeymoon
has been peaceful.
Aimee'S act this week was a
mother daughter quarrel, which
began over financial riffs at Angelus
Temple, and which eliminated in
an offer to resign by the evangelist.
But the loyal congregation of
Angelus Temple, refused to accept
the resignation.
Plans are going forward for organ

Apparently losing little sleep be-

ing, President Coolidge continues to
play movie star at Rapid City, S. D.
One story emanating from his
camp is that he helped push heavy
farm wagon up steep hill, while
the obliging cameraman rode in the
wagon, and took pains to get pic
lures showing the sweat on his brow.
Time was found between scenes.
however, for the President to stamp
his o. K. on new tax reduction
program, which the administration
forces will back in Congress. 1t
provides corporation tax cut of
from 1872 per cent to II per cent,
and possible elimination of some
nuisance taxes such as those on
theater admissions.
Every business house which failed
to benefit under the last tax re-
vision, is promised a reduction in
this one.
But Mr.. Coolidge will not recon-
mend any cut for smaller income
tax payers and the Democrats in
the Senate may object to this. to say
nothing of the small income tax
payers.
At the conference of state gov
ernorS at Mackinac Island. Mich,
farm relief has been stressed, and
several Republican leaders have
found time in the midst of their
glittering generalities to boost
