Will the Senate Yield on D. c.

decline to give in to the House combination.
In the conference over the District bill the House viii

Of threatening that Congress win adjourn without passing
District appropriations rather than yield It's deter

Failure to pass the bill before June 80 would bring untold
chaos in District affairs but right should not be so easily
sacrificed by the Senate If that body will stand pat for
once the responsibility Of fiscal chaos will be with the House
combination nowhere else.
BY standing pat too the Senate win bring this issue Of

There doubt whether the House whole would follow

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By HatlO
BY DIR. Louis E. Risch-

The average father does not, as
a rule, take the interest in the
rearing and training of his chill
dren that he should.
All too often he leaves these
important duties entirely to his
wife, and often. unfortunately, he
does not like to hear the prob
lens that the mother has had to
contend with when he arrives
home from business at night.
Be sure, however, that you, the
father, analyze your adaptabihty
as well as your capaDlilty ana
your achievements in the father
role. 1t is your duty to be as
good a father as you can and TO
cooperate with your wife in the
difficult job ct parenthood.
Discuss freely child training
problems with your wife, but be
sure. il you disagree, that you do
it by yourselves and out Of hear.
ing of YOUR children. Do not let
them know that discord exists.
Nothing hampers child develop
ment so much as such chickering's,
which often concern very trivial
matters
Bear in mind that children are
very sensitive to harmony or dis.
cord between their fathers and
mothers. Many child has run
away from home because his fa.
ther and mother were continually
nagging each other. Stubborn
ness and disobedience also have
sprung from the same cause.
AS a father you probably would
like to have instant obedience to
your wishes, but it should not be
forgotten that every normal child
is loath to obey, and is bound to
exhibit a certain spirit of resis.
tance. Never punish arbitrarily.
Never punish impulsively. Never
punish when you are in temper.
Always practice self-control in the
presence of your children and al.
ways try your utmost to be fair
in the treatment of them and in
the judgments you render.
There is no question but that
you can win the confidence and
cooperation of any boy or girl
much easier through love than
through any other means.
Make yourself the confidant or
your child. Be careful lest
breach develop between you which
may steadily widen. Many fa-
ther's influence, which was strong
in the beginning, has entirely dis
appeared because the sympathetic
bond between him and his chill
dren has completely dissolved.
And be sure that you do not al
ways think that you are right.
Undoubtedly you, too, make mis-,
takes. Be generous in admitting
these errors. Such admissions on
your part make the child feel
that you are human and that he
can trust you. Then when you
say that you are right and he is
wrong, even If he does not wholly
agree, he will at least trust you
and feel that you must be right
anyway. Nothing works better
than that in making children
want to come to you for help,
advice and guidance.
1t is a natural tendency for
each father to want to try to
shape his children after his own
wishes. This. however, is not
always possible, nor is it desir-
able. You cannot even expect
Iaur sons to be wholly Like you.

WITTY is it that a man is never
wv quite sure of his love for a
woman until he ceases to be sure
OF the woman?
To lose a true friend is a greater
tragedy than to lose front tooth.
NeitherN can ever be replaced by
anything half SO substantial and
dependable.
Half the world is struggling to
find work, these, days-and the
other half is struggling to dodge it.
Even the most happily married
woman seldom gets an oVerWeen-
ing superiority complex from hear
ing her husbands wild applause
for the way she runs the house.S
Small people are governed by
their prejudices. Great people are
led by their enthusiasms. Small
people are eternally defending
their dignity" Great people wear
their dignity as unconsciously as
thev wear their hats and their
shoes.
One of the things that no man
will ever understand this side OF
Paradise is the way in which
woman's mind works. Because
mans thoughts flow according TO
chart, but a woman's magma
ton works on a hair-trfgger ana
responds to the touch like a polo
pony.
Marriage will always be a mat
ter of sheer luck as long as one
girl has the good fortune to meet
all the clean, solid, eligible men
the kind you can safely take home
and introduce to your mother
and another girl meets only the
kind of gentlemen who prefer
blondes.

A Joint Midwinter recital was offered

vanced vocal pupils and Mr.. Holt sec
ton of the Nordica Mandolin and Gui-
tar Orchestra, of which he Is founder
and director The affair was held in
the Daniel Studio at 1910 New York
avenue.
The program was opened with the
orchestra's playing of the "Stradella"
overture by Flotow. Mr.. Holt conduct
ing. The Instrumentation was clear, the
mando bass especially resonant. A
fretted instrument group such as this
strikes the reviewer as needing greater
volume for really effective orchestral
harmony. This was only a section of
the full orchestra; there were but five
players. The staccato of the mando-
Inns style, with its Ssrident inSiStent
treble, contributes but little to any i'm
preston Of sound flow" in group so
small; it is not asSimilable. One thinks
of the Mexican tipica orchestra, for ex-
ample, in which the harmonieS are
more sustained and smooth because of
the variety and number of instruments.
The same impression of conference
would doubtless be gained by a larger
group under Mr. Hollis direction In
those later numbers with more rhyth.
mic tempo (the British Patrol" march
for instance) this type of rendition was
more striking.
The first vocalist on the program was
Catherine Schofeld, who sang when
Icicles Hang by the WALL" from Shake
speare's Loves Labor Lost" set to music
by Thomas Augustus Arne, and Blow,
You Like It." to the music of William
Arms Fisher. These numbers were fol-
lowed by Caroline KreuttnerS singing
of Cecil Burleigh's THE Snow Bird"
and Edith E. CarrS rendition of when
Was Shepherd" a Welsh folk song,
arranged by Arthur Somervell.
Another orchestra group and two
songs by Miss Schofield, accompanied
by Mr.. Holt on the guitar, came next
Miss Florence E. Squire, the Daniel
Studio accompaniSt, announced for two
Greig numbers on the piano, was un-
able to appear because Of illness.
Two vocal selections, each by Mildred
Spahr CMacDowells 1.-The Sea" and
"Menie'O, and Clarice Summers
fHaydnS aria from THE Creation" and
the opera 'Atalanta') followed.
Another orchestral selection, ga
Moonlight Frolic," by Odell, and Regi-
nald de Koven's popular Winter Lul-
LADY," sung by Miss Schofleld, accom-
panied by the Nordica group, closed the
evenings program.

ENGLISH ROYALTY
SKILLED AS NURSES
Nearly Every Woman in Fam
lily Well Trained-Queen's
Care of King Cited.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 25.-Queen Mary's
personal supervision over the nursing
of the King during his illness is a re-
minder that nearly every woman in the
British royal family has been well
trained in nursing.
Among the most outstanding are
Princess Mary, Princess Arthur of Con-
naught the Queen of Norway and
Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone.
This training is attributed largely
to the late Princess Mary of Cambridge,
mother of Queen Mary. who personally
superintendent the education of her
majesty in that respect.
Princess Mary Had War Experience.
Princess Mary. only daughter Of
Queen Mary. had considerable expert
ence during the war. At the outbreak
she entered a London hospital as a
probationer at time when the de-
mand for nurses far exceeded the sup
ply. Now she finds the knowledge ac-
quired in those days of great benefit
in supervising the health of her two
sturdy sons.
Princess Arthur of Connaught is on
the nursing staff of the MiddleSeX Hos
pital and continues to serve occasionally
in the sick room, taking her full share
of the duties in the out patients de-
partment Many of those passing
through her hands never realize that
they are being attended by a niece of
the King.
Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone,
IS proficient in nursing and often has
remarked that she would have liked
to have devoted herself exclusively to
this work.
Late Queen Alexandra Headed Service.
The late Queen Alexandra, widow Of
Edward VII, was the head of the Brit
ish military nursing service and she
was highly trained. having at one time
devoted considerable study to surgical
nursing.
The Queen of Norway is another
excellent Sickroom nurse. as is another
British-born queen, the Queen of Spain.
Many of the members of her family
are by no means physically robust. and
she frequently has been called upon to
supervise their nursing, both surgical
and medical
Queen Mary remarked some years
ago to an intimate friend that she did
not consider that any girl should be
allowed to marry unless she were fully
qualified to take charge of sickroom
whenever the necessity arose.

Plans to Strengthen Bridges.

That the heavy loads of logs hauled
with trucks by logging contractors
are damaging some bridges in his dis
trict was stated by County Commits
sioner George Monio while in Libby
the first of the week attending the
regular monthly meeting Of the coun-
ty commissioners Most of the bridges
were built in an earlier day when loads
were not so heavy and were not in
tended to carry the great loads now
capable Of being hauled by truck.
However, Mr.. Monio is of the opin-
ion that every legitimate business in
the county should be encouraged and
says he plans to strengthen such
bridges as need it as soon as possible.
In order to protect the county IN the
mean time, he had a number Of signs
printed, which he will post on Ger
tain bridges, notifying the public that
hauling of loads over the bridges ir
excess of certain weights will be al
ones own. risk. Over some bridges
the weight will be confined to not
40 exceed six tons, on others eight
tons
