Rireside and family, Government
figures show, and the back.to-the-
home movement viii be cele-
brated throughout the United
states by the National Home Fur.
nishings Style Show, to be held
beginning Friday.
Renewed interest in the art of
furnishing a home properly has
been noticeable for some time,
so much in fact that. the furnl-
ture and allied industries decided
to stage a national style show
the first in theS history of their
business.
Dealers in Washington will join
in the movement and all furni-
ture stores will have open house
for the public to view their ex-
11ibits. Latest designs in furnish
ings for the home will be ar.
ranged attractively in model
room displays.
That women are leaving offices
and taking up the duties Of
00me-maKlng, QuCleS Cney tue-
serted during and after the
World War, is strongly indicated
at. the United States Bureau of
Census. More marriages and
fewer divorces were recorded last
year in figures of more than half
Of the States.
The average and combined
marriage rate last year for 25
States and the District of Colum.
bia was 1894 to 1000 population,
the figures showed, compared
with IL in 1923, while the divorce
rate for the same areas dropped
from 2.88 to 2.85.
Every State has what is unof-
3icially known as a "Gretna
Green" but in 26 of the States
In 1923 there were counties that
had a marriage rate of more
than three times that of the
States in which they are stu
ated.

cess will be required to make the
diary discovered on the remains
of Salomon Auguste Andree legi'
BILE, according to the commission
Of Swedish professors who exam
ined all documents recovered from
the ill-fated polar expedition.
Buried in the icy layers OF
years, the pages became brittle
and blurred. Extreme care will
be taken to decipher the entries,
however, in, the hope that the
fate Of Andree and his two com.
ranions may be revealed.
To Tell Fate
From the diaries a real picture
Of final days spent by three mem,
bers of the Andree expedition on
White Island will only be possible

diary, found by DR.. Gunnar Horn
consists of an inascertainablt
number of pages not yet made

Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

It isn't the original cost that
makes a Good Deed so expen-
sive. IT'S THE UPKEEP!
All Of us can be noble In
spurts. There's a tremendous
thrill In doing a fine act.
the world gives Generous GeS-
lures q Big Hand. And while
the thrill is new and the ap-
plause vigorous. we're 1909 for
righteousness.
But presently the applause
lessons and the novelty dims.
That act which yesterday was
so dramatic, becomes today
mere routine. And we realize
that. having started to Be
Noble, we're expected to go on
and on-and on-which is
quite another matter! Then
comes the strain. Can we live
up to our magnificent prelimi-
naries after they become an old
story? Can we endure being
unselfish and heroic after "the
tumult and the shouting die"
and the audience departs?
I'm thinking Of a Good Deed
I've recently seen started. Mary
has taken dead sisters baby
to raise with her own little
ones. What a beautiful thing
to dol" you say. That's what
everyone is saying. All day long
the neighbors are dropping in,
with gifts for the new baby
and praise for Mary. Pretty
soon they won't drop in so
often.
They'll begin to take Mary's
good deed for granted. Now
and then they'll speak Of her
=. then go. on to talk of some
thing else. BUT MARY WILL
HAVE TO GO ON LIVING
WITH THAT GOOD DEED
AND ITS EXPENSIVE CON.
SEQUENCES YEAR AFTER
YEAR. AND, BELIEVE ME,
TT WILL BE NO CINCH! For
q good deed can demoralize a
life as completely as a bad one.
And righteousness viii destroy
your established peace ana
quiet as thoroughly as wicked-
ness.
This comes as bitter sur.
prise to most Of us. God, we
think, should make things par
ticularly cosy for those who do
His will! But He doesn't. If
you wish to share His glory
He evidently expects you to go
$3.50 on His grief. And that's

MARRY-GO-

BY Helen Rowland
Misplaced Chivalry

Anybody who claims that
chilvary Is dead must have
skipped all the heart-balm and
alimony cases In the newspa-
pers.
The world is full Of chivalry,
today; and American men, in
particular, are overflowing
with it. But, alas, most Of it
is passed around to the wrong
kind Of women.
There ought to be all-women
juries to decide these heart
balm and alimony cases. Then,
the SpoilS would be awarded to
the old. Wornout wife, instead
Of to the husky young beauty
who "just hates work."
Tears that flow from PEN
ciled eyelashes may touch the
hearts Of q masculine Jury: but,
the only tears that would touch
the hearts of a feminine jury
would be those that flow from
eyes that have grown dim,
watching for a husband to
come home nights.
A man always feels SO
sorry for a "poor little girl"
who Graves all the. beautiful
things in life, but who would
rather cry for them or sue for
them than work for them. But
an efficient hard-working young
business woman, who pays her
own rent and her own dinner
checks, is supposed to be able
to take care of herself" and
usually permitted to do so.
A mans heart just aches for
the "unlucky little thing" who
has gotten into a mess with
some other woman's husband;
bat, somehow, he seldom feels a
pang for the wife who has been
double.croSsed.
Thousands of strong men
wept salt tears at the fate Of
the beautiful Ruth Snyder,
when she went to the electric
chair. But do you remember
any man getting excited enough
to weep over the tragedy Of Mr..
Judd Gray?
Somehow, it takes weakness or
beauty or both to appeal to the
chivalry that lies at the bottom
of every normal mans heart.
And there is something dra-
matte and picturesque about q
beautiful sinner, which brings
out all his tenderness and IN
Stincttve chivalry.

thrown on physical culture, es-
pecially as he dwelt at: Croton,
famous for its athletes.
Education, with Pythagoras,
did not connote merely train
ing Of the mind; 1t represented
both physical and mental devel-
opment.
Another basic element Of this,
soul-training, for which the
PythagoeranS Strove, was music.
It was regarded as a purifying
influence, purging the soul Of
much perilous stuff and diSso1v-
ing harmoniouSly the diSson-
ances of life. It may be re-
called that Socrates held an ex-
tremely lofty view Of music;
and once termed philosophy the
highest music.
According to accepted tradi-
ton, Pythagoras was walking
along a road one day, and on
listening to the musical sounds
made on a blackSmithV ham
mers, observed that the respec-
tive sounds were separated by
an interval of an octave. His
meditative mind prompted him
to weigh the two hammers and
he was delighted to find that
the two weights were In the ra-
tio Of two to one.
BY trying similar expert
ments by measuring strings
which produced musical notes,
he confirmed the principle. He
also discovered that an interval
Of a fifth had a string ratio
to three.
Ginzburg says, if somewhat
extravagantly. that this dis
covery of the law Sof simple
numbers is perhaps the great
est scientific discovery that
has ever been made-at least
II considered symbolically.
Once it was discovered that
even music, one Of the most
subtle and elusive Of the arts,
was governed by numerical re.
lationS. it was not q difficult
step to the conclusion that
numbers rule the world" In
the Pythagorean School. music
was studied along with mathe-
maticS. philosophy along with
religion.
The Pythagorean School was
