TIA, tai" said she, with her brightest
smile Il usually don't req your
column because it is so domestic, but I
like the book articles"
Well, we'll, we'll!
We stubbornly refuse to change the
nature of these, our daily writings, just
because one wise-cracking maid might
like them better some other way.
We know thousands of nice young
ladies. and nice middlc-aged ladies',
and nice old ladies, too. all of whom
like us Just as we are, without one plea
We take pride in the fact that We
have thousands of male readers who
take an interest in what may be
termed, for want of better word,
things domestic.
It is to be suspected that our gay
young friend has rather too broad
meaning for the word. To her. evil
IDENTIFY, it means everything away from
the bright lights OF downtown and
night clubs and "wise-cracking.
The term wild party" gathers up
and focuses all the elements which
enter into such young persons con.
ception Of happy living, AS opposed TO
the views Of those who prefer a quiet
life.
A quiet life-a domestic. life il you
willis an ideal with thousands Of
people. as little as our bright maid
might believe it.
Such know where they can get all
the noise and confusion any one might
wish. They, too. find place in their
lives for such things, but it is not
large place.
aleck conversation, bright lights,
parties" Jazz music, etc, do not weigh
much on their minds
They do not personally care very
much for such things. Their interest
in them is purely academic. A good
book is more to be preferred, accord
ing to their way of thinking, than all
the shows" in the world. They had
rather hear Fritz Kreisler play one
number than listen to even the best
dance orchestra from now until
doomsday.
The reactions Of domesticslly IN
clined men and women are based rather
on the likes and dislikeS OF maturity
than on the preferences Of youth.
There is time in every persons life
when he sincerely believes that youth
should control the world.
Youth!
Poets have sung Of 1t: Conrad, the
novelist, wrote q story about it.
It is the fashion to laud youth as il
no other time OF life had any merit
in 1t.
Even Sir James Barrie in one of his
whimsical essays tntimated that the
governments Of the world should be put
under the control of young men.
Youth itself often feels the same
way about it, but the truth Is that only
few young people are capable OF doing
things in q big way.
Maybe the fault lies in the slow edu-
cation of the human young. OF recent
years there has been an unniStakable
movement afoot in all parts Of the
world to shorten the preparatory period
Of youth and plunge young men and
women into actual life upon their own
resources years before such participa-
ton was thought possible a decade ago
Youth itself often mistrusts its own
abilities. Honesty is high with high
minded youth. The precious art Of
bluning has not yet been learned, or
only in part.
Many young man or woman would
be the first to say il offered a great
position of responsibility, mo. am
not At for it-yet.'
Maturity comes to one at one age,

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Imported Climate.
From Little America comes the great
thrill,
AS Byrd sends US word from q snow
field so still
A spot that Of yore seemed so far, far
away,
Sends radio speech in an instant, today.
And even of weather that they have
down there,
They've sent us enough and a little to
spare.
While birds Of the Maytime are warbling
with skill
From Little America comes the Big
Chill!

The terrific explosion in Cleveland,
Ohio, which liberated deadly gases has
brought forward much serious and in
telligent comment on the havoc that
may be wrought in the next war-com-
ment which gives point to the asser-
tons of many wise men to the effect
that there is not going to be any next
war. Even war becomes recognizable
as an impractical folly.
