GENERAL WOLFE Z

GENE8AL WOLFE KILLED
On September IL, 1853, James Wolfe,
the famous British general. was killed
In q battle on the Plains OF Abraham.
Z mile south Of Quebec, while at
tempting to drive the French out OF
Canada.
The first step In the scheme to ex-
pei the French had as its object the
capture Of Quebec. Wolfe sailed from
England In February, and four months
later landed on the Isle Of Orleans, 3
few miles below Quebec.
Wolfe'S force numbered about 1000
men, including six companies OF New
England troops, while the French
strength comprised : garrison Of 1000
men at Quebec and $4,000 men, Of
whom only q small part were regulars.

were drawn up on the plains.
They were then engaged by
French army Of about the same mum.
Der, but the French lines were shat
tered by the British fire and broke.
As he led the charge Wolfe was struck
three times and was forced to lie
down. He died while the pursuit was
still under way.

Make It Hot for the Hit-and-R Run Driver
minneapolis Tribune)

S1llIlcdpOllS 1TlCuOe1
The slayer of Dorothy Aune isn't the only type of child
murdered. There is a killer Of quite another stripe who
drives his car into a child, steps on the accelerator and
leaves his victim dying in the street. Minneapolis was
treated Sunday to the revolving spectacle of q motorist
fleeing from the spot where he had knocked down and
fatally injured q l6-months'old boy. It ought to reserve a
little of its indignation. which has lately been vented on
the degenerate. the molester of children. and the moron
nnaSher, for the craven driver who hasn't the decency or
the backbone to stop and help his mangled victim. and
who hasn't the moral courage to take responsibility for
his act. This sort of no.o1ist deserves not the slightest
sympathy or consideration. Granting the accident itself
may have been entirely unavoidable, he still stamps him.
self as o dangerous and irresponsible individual the mo-
mcnt he turns tail and sinks from the scene Of tragedy.
The htt.and-run driver hasn't an ounce Of the milk Of
human kindness In his entire constitution. He would
rather save his own precious skin than save the life Of
his victim by rushing him to q hospital or calling medical
aid. He would rather leave q small child writhing In the
street than give o straightforward. honest account Of the
accident at police quarters. Minneapolis should have lit
tie tolerance for drivers Of that stamp. They should be
sought out. as any other dangerous criminal would be
sought out, with all the energy and RESPONSIVENESS Of
which the police department Is capable. And they should
be accorded Justice. as quickly and Is fully as the Law al
low. as . fan warning to their pack. Generating cir

THE CHRONIC SHEER
NV Alice Juds0n Pealel

In some homes the atmosphere Is
permeated with a chronic sheer.
The elders of the family are full Of
derogatory criticism of their neigh
b0rs, their friends, their community.
They know everybody's weak points
and delight In their clever exposition.
They are artists in ridicule.
Yet outside the home the necessity
Of living ~peaceably with others COM
pelS these grown-upS to assume q sur
face friendlinesS which the children
who hear them in the uncensored
moments over the breakfast table
know to be either rank hypocrisy or
expedient pretense.
Children who grow up In such an
atmosphere are likely to be neither
kindly nor sincere. In initiating their
parents critical attitude they are
bound to arrive at a false feeling Of
superiority over those from whom
they might yet learn many q lesson.
Anyone can ridiCule. It Is q cheap
satisfaction and one which growing
children may well do without.
I do not suggest that We should re-
frain from all adverse criticism-on
the contrary, occasional honest crit
icism is entirely wholesome-nor do
| think that for the sake of u chill
dren it is wise to gloss ver with
untruth and ~subterfuge those critical
comments we do make.
But we can learn to be silent. We
can refrain for the most part from
discussing the less admirable aspects
Of peoples characters. We ocan let
u children form their own opinions
of people and trust them to arrive
in due time at 2 just evaluati0n.
Nothing is less becoming to youth
than a chronic sheer. Don't let your
child develop 1t. Purge the home at.
mosphere Of those elements OF crit
icism and unkind gossip which fos-
ter 1t.

HOW UGH IS YOUR LIFE
WORTH?

Have you who are so concerned
about investing in valuable real estate
ever considered what a fine piece OF
property you possess in that body OF
yours which you have failed to culti-
vate and improve?
Our capabilities for accomplishing
and enjoying ourselves during our
lives depend almost entirely upon the
health of the physical body. No
wealth we can obtain, nor honor we
can receive, can make us happy
further than we have health with
which to enjoy them, and the value
Of all we possess diminishes In proper
ton as we become sick.
The efficiency we develop. and U
ability to commune with our fellows,
depend upon the way we q express
ourselves through the physical body.
We speak with our mouths. we see
with eyes. we hear with our ears,
and through these mediums of express
sion w r able to make our con-
tact with the world about us.
Who would take q million dollars
for the loss of an eye? And yet how
true that every day we thoughtlessly
do things which hurt our eyes through
bad habits and practices which i'm
pair our sight, cutting down u en-
joyment of the things about us which
we might see and understand.
Our ri become stuffed up from
catarrhal diseases SO that we cannot
hear and learn as much through that
sense.
When in health, with what zest we
enjoy delicious food which only
nauseates when disease has destroyed
appetite!
All who are healthy are therefore
rich because their fund of life turns
all surroundings into means of n
joyment. The poorest servant who is
healthy Is much richer than the feeble
millionaire master who has no means
by which he can enjoy his riches If
he does not have health.
If you ere SURF you we're going to
die tomorrow. how much would you
not give for n o year of health
and happiness? You would. without
doubt. give every dollar and every
piece Of property you own II when
sick you could once again regain
health and all Of its pleasures.
Health is q fortune at interest. the
income from which. economically
used. will support you. Spending
health foolishly draws on the prin-
cipal, and you will soon find your
self bankrupt. The more you draw
on the principal. the sooner you will

A New Millionaire Philosophy

It is the general American custom for a man to retire
from active work only when he is too Old OF too feeble to
stay on the job any longer.
Young MI. Jed Harris, however, seems to operate on a
different theory.
Harris was a Broadway theatrical producer. He was
young and exceedingly able; in the course of a few years
he was able to lay away a couple of million dollars for
himself. So, at the age of %. he found himself a very
wealthy man.
The other day Harris announced his retirement. He is
giving up all of his business, he said, and is going to
move to Europe to enjoy life. At 20. he feels that his job
IS done. He has all the money he will ever want-so why
work any longer?
There aren't many Americans who look at things that
way. We take it for granted that the only way to keep
happy is to keep busy.
But Harris has a different philosophy, and it may be
that he's right.
There are jobs which are worth the whole Of a mans
lNe-jobs that are so much worth doing that the man
who holds one of them cares for nothing else. They in
ciud: . strange mixture Of callings: you'll find ministers
who feel that way about their work. and aviators, and
artists. and. cnce IN a while. a newspaparman. The man
whoee Job provides his life with richness and significance
is lucky-nE. rather rare.
i1ost Of US aren't that fortunate. We work chiefly be-
cause we have to. Our jobs are jobs that other men could

Woeld could really get along without. But We keep at 1t

"A Justified Rebuke

President Hoovcrs singing rcbukc to the munitions
lobby was both very timely and fully justified.
There is. Of course, a division Of opinion in this coun-
try about the wisdom Of reducing our naval ornaments:
and, obviously, any American who thinks that making
concessions TO get parity with the British is a mistaken
move has a right to protest as long and as loudly as he
is able.
But it is utterly intolcrablc that pressure should be
put on congress BY interests whose only concern is one
Of dollars and cents. When tho munitions makers and

The living room walls are of Mex
lean mahogany. which is a warm tan
shade, %lacquered to preserve the sur
face and retain the natural color.
They are relieved. though not pam

all plain. The living room could be
thoroughly busted in ten minutes.
There is very little standing around
containers for flowers, the necessary
ash trays and the cushions on the
couch.
The room is logical, convincing,
easy to keep clean, and very beauti-
full. There is everything to be said
for it. from an artistic point Of view,

THE OTHER SIDE
While there is much to be said for
having everything in the right place,
there is also much to be said for
change.
It is plausible indeed to have q
hotel suite done in the modern man
ner. The occupants change fire.
quently il the furniture does not. But
imagine ali apartment for which one
signed a tllree-year lease. in which
there we're only four chairs and two
tables that could be moved, and
where everything was perfect at the
start. To change it-would be to
spoil it.
A home is q problem different from
q hotel suite. It needs to grow. It
needs to take on the personality Of
the occupants. It needs to be NOV
able. and to have moods. It needs
imperfcctions-and problems to work
out. The most livable homes are not
the ones that started out perfectly
but that evolved into beauty.

Editorial Comment
Long-Lived Veterans
Duluth Herald

A brief dispatch from Washington in The Herald Tues
day evening announced that Owen Thomas Edgar. the
last survivor of the Mexican war, had died at the age Of
ninety -eight.
A natural thought arising out Of the news that the last
survivor OF the Mexican war is gone is that it won't be
long now before there will be a similar piece of news
about the last survivor OF the war between the states.
But that will be a hasty conclusion.
If the veterans CT the Civil war last as long as this vet
eran of the Mexican war did. and there is no reason why
they should not, that item about the last survivor will not
be due until 1916.
And. by the same rule. the last American survivor of
the World war will live until 1899. within sight of the
twenty-firSt century.

Lee Simonson, famous for his stage
settings for the Theatre Guild, has
designed and furnished the most
modern apartment to date. for the
new Delmonico Hotel. It has just six
movable pieces of furniture in the liv-
ing room-tWo small tables and four
chairs. Everything else is built In.
All the ordinary movable pieces
such as radio, desk. couch. and book
shelves arc stationery at what he con-
sidcrs the proper place.
\ \ X
ONE RIGHT WAY
According to Simonson. this bust
ness Of changing the furniture every
little while. to vary the monOtony Of
tho scene is all wrong. There is one
right place for the piano, and only
n Keep it there. said he:
The necessary and usual pieces Of
a rOom-the bed, desk, tables and
shclves-must be viewed as an inte-
grail part Of interior architecture. To
them about simply destroys the
unity and beauty of the room.'
After all. he pointed out, one is not
constantly changing the bathroom
around
TODAY'S NECESSITY
Owing to the fact that apartments.
Of the modern sort, + concentrating
on smaller rooms. there can be no
waste space. he says. When land
was not so valuable. could clutter
. room with useless pieces because
there were usually several extra
rooms. We all spread out as much as
we could.
Today. the cost of living makes us
concentrate. We can get the same
amount Of liveableness in a three
room apartment as We used to have
In a three story house, II we plan u
space correctly. and don't waste what
has become so valuable.
i = \
IT'S INTERESTING
Simonson's apartment has several
interesting features. to the woman In
terested In modern decoration Of zig
Gags and meaningless futuristic
angles. There Is no clashing Of line
or color. New materials and new
woods are used throughout. In their
natural colors. There Is no attempt
to get the effect Of q feudal castle In
a modern room, mol any reverential
bow to the past.
