Achieving Happiness in the Home
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| the imagination and cause speculation.
Let us indulge in little of this specula-
ton and see if some of the points
may not prove helpful in home life and
the suggestions be OF value in training
children.
The invention of the radio has helped
to make persons open minded and to
stir doubling minds into the belief that
the impossible may be possible. Sounds
can be captured and heard thousands
of miles from the spot where words are
spoken or where music or noise makes
the air vibrant Therefore it is within
the bounds of possibility that thoughts
may be captured and ideas also if a
persons mind is in tune with certain
thought waves or vibrations.
Surprising that this be true. how can
we get in tune? One definite way would
appear to be indicated and that Is to
deliberately turn the attention to the
matters on which we should like to
know more. A mind so tuned would
then catch the vibrations made by
thought waves Of like kind, if it is
indeed true that thoughts create wave
currents or vibrations Of air. 1t is not
beyond the power of imagination that
original thought waves may exist and
if Sc. could then be captured when q
person tuned in" correctly.
A mother sometimes says to a child
do think OF something pleasant" She
knows that if the childs mind can be
turned to some pleasant thought q
whole train OF other pleasant ideas will
soon come from somewhere and fill her
mind. When the child gets to be a
little older. in what is called the junior
age, the wise mother endeavors to direct
her attention to fine things-worthy
books, strong and beautiful personah-
ties. worthwhile music, choice pictures
and everything that will help her to
concentrate on loneliness. She appre-
ciates that by attention to such things
the child will be influenced to become
fine in character. The child opens her
mind and becomes receptive to the
thoughts that her mind is tuned to.
Wives and mothers who would be
happy and helpful realize the impor-
lance of turning their minds in the
right direction to get happy influences.
The ideas that come to them from that
mysterious somewhere" in which
thoughts exist can be drawn toward
their minds like sound waves to a radio,
provided the wave lengths are happy
ones. This may be true. Who knows?
Try catching fine and happy thoughts
from the air by tuning in on them as
described and see how it works.

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

June T.. .1883.-Considerable delay is
being experienced in getting the marble
for the work on the Washington Mon
ument under the new contract. Col.
Casey this morning received letter
from the president of the Lee Marble
Co. of Massachusetts,, saying that the
company had encountered difficulties in
transporting the marble for the Wash
ington Monument across the Hudson
however. Of the five forwarded from the
quarry have finally been gotten over
and are now on the way to this city.
The contract made with this COM
pany called for the first delivery of
marble here on May 4, but the time was
extended until June /, although none
has yet arrived. There is a disposition
to allow as many facilities as possible
to the company rather than annul the
| contract. But the result will be to de-
| lay work on the Monument.
The Lee Co. guaranteed to ship two
hundred blocks of marble each month.
but owing to the inaccessibility of the
quarry, which is in western MaSsachu-
sets, 1t is thought that they cannot
comply with the guaranty.
There is enough marble now on hand
here from the former contract however
to increase the height of the Wash

Two-Minute Manicure.

Have you ever been in the terrible
position of having to dress quickly for
an important engagement and having
your finger nails look impossible? The
more important the engagement the
more vitality necessary it is that your
hands should look as exquisite as every
woman'S hands should look. Here's a
suggestion for manicure which can be
done in two minutes:
You must have on hand an adequate
supply of manicuring neceSsaries. You
must have a bottle of cuticle remover
and bleach, polishing powder or paste,
a very big, well padded buffer, an
orangewood stick, really good emery
boards, cold cream and curved mani
cure scissors that really cut You may
not need all these for your two-minute
manicure.
Begin by scrubbing the nails with hot
water, soap and nail brush and clean
under them with pointed file. Roll
some cotton around the orangewood
stick. dip it in the cuticle remover, go
round the edges of the nails and under
them, using generous amount. Scrub
them off once more, for all these cuticle
removers are drying and must be re-
moved themselves. Dry the hands,
will make it possible to get lot of dirt
and unwanted skin from underneath)
and rub cold cream thoroughly around
the edges of the nails. Wipe this off,
push back the cuticle with an orange
wood stick, put a little polishing powder
on your buffer and give them a very
quick shine. You may have to dip them
in water again to scrub off the powder,
If so, wipe the powder from your buffer
and give each nail one of two quick
strokes to bring back the polish. All
this may sound like a lot, but do it
daily in less than two minutes. If there
are hangnails or rough skin at the cor
ners of the nails which must be cut off
with the scissors, the manicure will take
more than two minutes. But if you're
pressed for time this needn't be both
cred with. The nails are quickly
bleached and polished, the cream gives
a smooth edge.
Bebe-Try using bathbrush on your
arms when you battle and some of that
roughness will be removed from the
skin. If you do not get rid of the trou-
bic this way, consult the doctor, for

Constructive Reducing.

1t sounds like a paradox, doesn't it.,
when one speaks of constructive re-
ducing program? Usually the over
weight woman thinks only in negative
terms of losing excess weight. She
studies caloric values and puts on her
black list all foods that she considers
fattening, and she becomes thinner, but
and Sallow. there are dark pouches
under her eyes and she feels tired and
nervous.
The beauty problems Of the woman
who is losing weight by this method
are greater than they were before.
The way to avoid these difficulties
is to think of reducing not merely in
terms of tearing down excess fat, but
of building up good figure. A woman
who takes this constructive view of
reducing will limit but not eliminate
proteins. starches. fats and sweets from
her diet. She will eat plenty off leafy
vegetables and fruits and whole-grain
cereals, as the reducing diet must pro-
vide sufficient bulk. Tea and coffee and
white bread do not make a good reduc-
ing diet: these beverages encourage
constipation, and the bread does not
contain the important mineral salts
and vitamins which must be in every
diet.
Exercise must be included in the re-
duc1ng program in order to build firm,
healthy muscles in place of the f1abby
fat. AS the cushion of fat below the
chin melts away the skin hangs In folds,
which looks worse than the original
double chin. To prevent this unsightly
condition one must not lose weight too
fast in the first place "a pound a week
is enough, and then one must tone up
the throat muscles by regular exercise.
Neck exercises are very simple and con-

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
By JOSEPH JASTROW.

humor as have men; it's nearer to the
truth that it is differently developed.
Women have more dignity to maintain
and thus to lose; they are adopts at
smiling, and since their smiles carry a
flavor of interest, or approval. they are
more circumspect in disposing of them.
A woman's smile is reward. Unques-
tionably the 'funnies" and comic strips
and the column of jokes in the daily
paper are aimed more directly at men
and small boys. The range of women's
play has different orbit, all of which
proves that laughter has a deep place
in psychology. To repeat, Laugh and
Grow Fat" in these days of dieting
would not add to the gayety of nations;
hence the wiser version is laugh and
grow sane" or, better, laugh and keep
mentally fit.

tive. That is. he demanded the superintendent should
be elected by popular vote instead Of having the board
appoint him The senate bill declared for the ~selective
method.
Sen. Moore was very angry.
He predicted that the house would never agree to
the ~selective method as provided by the senate amend
ment. Sen. Moore must have the gift of prophecy. On
the closing DAY Of the special session the house stood

Sweeping Victories for the
Railroads

1t has come TO pass that the result Of years OF labor
b. the interstate commerce commission in valuing
railroads or rate making and other purposes was Sc
riously impaired, If not entirely swept aside IN a
most important decision by the supreme court OF
the United States. This highest tribunal OF the re-
public. dividing five TO three with Justice Pierce But
Ter Of Minnesota not participating, held that the
commission work in its valuation work must observe
such elements as the present cost Of construction or
reproduction.
1t is said that the RECESSION added S2.O00.O00OOo gross
receipts to American railways. Wall street went wild.
To be exact the decision Of the supreme court in the
OFallon case sustained the contention OF the at
torneys for the railways that the railroads Of the
country have q value Of $38.0O0,0Oo.oOO. instead OF
a value Of s23 600. 100000. the valuation placed upon
the roads by the interstate commerce commission
It was the most sweeping victory ever won by the
railroads. 1t was a black eye for the l. G. g. 1t was
a stunning blow for national lawmakers who insist that
the rate making power can be delegated TO a COM
mission and the decree OF the commission to be the
last word. Thus another paramount issue has been
let loose In the political arena and the finish Is not
in sight.
