We Can Afford It

We have heard lot about ex-
travagance, especially as eXempli-
fled by instalment buying. We have
been told that the vitality of the
United States was being Slapped,
that people were Squanderng their
savings and mortgaging their future
to get automobiles, victrolaS and
radio sets.
Not only run-of 7the-mill pes
SimiStS, but people who should know
better have warned us against dis
aster. Some of them have painted
such gloomy pictures as to leave the
impression that our prosperity con-
sisted of little but longtime con-
tracts, bill collectors and frozen
credit.
1t is almost shocking to learn
that we have cash deposits of $751;
000,000,000 in our banks, that more
than one-half of it is represented
by individual savings accounts and
that 65,000,0OO of us carry life in
surance to the extent of sos 900, OOO,-
900.
Such figures make the amount we
spend for candy. cosmetics, golf and
even the movies seem less alarm
ing.

Hungarian paci1st carrying her case to the supreme
court
Now, proceedings under way to cancel the citi-
zenship of Ellen Dawson, arrested recently for her
activity in the textile strike at New Bedford Mass
The governments contention is that Miss Dawson,
Englishwoman, obtained citizenship papers fraud
ulenty six months ago. in that she communist,
and as such honestly could not have taken the oath
to uphold the constitution.
Another instance is that of John Tapolczyani a
barber of Harmony, Pa. Tapolczyani wrote a letter
to his brother in Hungary, in which he said he was
communist in principle. CensorS of the Hungarian
Dictator Horthy turned the letter govern
ment and proceedings to deprive Tapolczyani of cit-
zenship were instituted
The government, it would seem, has abrogated
the principle that any citizen may think as he pleases
and seek peaceaby to persuade others to his views.

Need for Discipline

The philosophy of self expression,
about which we hear so much
leaves self control out of the picture,
yet self-control is about all that
spells the difference between TWEEN
tieth century civilization and the
jungle.
Civilized life not only makes us
dependent on each other for the
things we need, but for the things
we must go without.
The very nature of system i'm
plies discipline. The more we dis
cipline ourselves, the less we shall
be exposed to from government and
society.
The more we depend on expert
ness, the more we must sacrifice
to become expert in our own par
ticular line. The faster we go, the
more customs and rules we must
learn to obey.
Caveman stuff does not go with
forty horsepower automobiles
corporations to which 100000 stock
holders look for dividends, switch
towers that make it possible for 6
lunatic to throw whole railroad
yard into confusion and govern
ments that look to popular intelli-
gence for guidance.

The Most
Precious of I
All Years.
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON 2
TINE life Of the modern woman
Il is cluttered up fearfully with
organizations. One type runs to
bridge parties, another to reform. ~
And in most cases the home and
the children suffer. It seems un-
fortunate that we women are not
wise enough to realize that we often
toss away the wheat of life for the
chaff of the social world. Sd,
If young mothers only could be.
made to understand how short is a
child's infancy! The average wom-
an these days does not have six.
eight, or dozen children, as her
grandmother did. A family of four
is unusual.
Too many couples make the mis-
take of having only one child. Few
indeed are the women who actually
can be said to be tied down very
long by their growing families.
And no mother has her baby to
herself save for six short years. And
six years is but moment in the
span of our days.
Doesn't it look as if for this lit
tie time the intelligent mother
should consider her child the most
Important thing in her life and its
proper rearing her most serious
work?
And yet each day one sees young
women who are cross and discon-
tented because they can't get away
when the neighborhood bridge club
meets and who consider themselves
veritable slaves to their babies.
They do not know that they are
queens instead of servants.
Nor do I think it the part Of good
sense for any mother to give up
all her social activities. If any per-
son in the land should keep up with
the times, it is the mother. But 7
do believe that she should put her
children first always and never all,
low social duty to interfere with
home duty. ..t
The day when daughter goes to
boarding school and son to college
or to work come all too soon, any,
way. After the children are reared,
there stretch long years when the
days must be filled with something.
Bridge parties and town building
and politics are very convenient
then
And no true mother ever will be-
grudge the time she gives up to the
children. For the hour will come
when those years will be the most
precious in all her memory.

farewell to his king of clubs. In
either case, the parting is sad.
The only other method of play
which is not shattered by a very
brief study is for North to trump
low on the opening trick.
But if the trumpS are then led,
East will have North in all sorts of
trouble. And if the ace of spades
is led, West will trump, then shut
his eyes and return any card in his
hand.
East, too, must then shut his eyes,
if North and South are to win a
total of more than three tricks.

Wide Proportions"
TWENTY-SEvEN senators siam

TWENTY-SEVEN senators stand
Il in the way of ratifying the
Kellogg pact. That is less than one
third of the senate. What is even
more significant, the twenty-seven
ar not unanimous. About half of
them are merely undecided, or in
different. The other half shades
down from mild reservationistS to
irreconcilables. Not more than ten
or a dozen are willing to commit
themselves to negative vote at this
time. That being so, why clutter
the stage with useless discussions?
The Kellogg pact represents no
mystery, no complex problem. no
doubtful or dangerous course. 1t is
a simple declaration by which gov
ernmentS agree to outlaw war. 1t
commits them to nothing, except
an ideal. 1t binds them to nothing,
except their honor.

The Solution

HERE you must be very generous
Il 4 and give your opponents a trick
which they can easily be prevented
from winning. Immediately, how
ever, you let them show their ap-
probation by giving you two or
three tricks in return.
South leads a club, North
trumps with one of his honors, and
the remaining trump honor is led.
The small trump follows and West
must accept the gift, after South
has thrown away one of his
spades.
And West must also now lead a
heart. East discards a spade and
South wins, then promptly takes
another heart trick On this second
lead of the suit, East must either
surrender the ten Of spades, thereby
unguarding the king, or he must bid
