The presence in a family of a
mentally defective child is
tragic situation all around.
The child, itself, is usually deS-
perately unhappy because it
dimly may realize its own def
sciencies and comparing itself to
the other normal children is a
cause of sadness. The presence
Of the defective child puts a
damper on the other children
and it's existence is a source Of
humiliation to the parents.
The MOngOlian Type

Mrs. Solomon Says

My Daughter, in the rosebud
garden of lovers, thou wilt
meet Seven Deadly Bores,
which every wise damsel will
pass up with croSsed-fingers.
For a sinner may repent or be
forgiven; but for one of these
there is no hope!
Behold, as secondhand
flivver on a detour, as a plate
of hot soup down the back of
the neck, so is the Amateur
Caveman. He shattereth the
nerves and jarreth the SenSi-
bilities. He is so sudden! But,
what woman delighteth to be
charged like a punching-bag
and embraced like a football?
There is no tenderness and no
subtlety IN him!
AS a window that rattleth
in the wind, as a table next
to the Saxophone player, as
the squeak of a cheap shoe, so
is a flippant Wise-Cracker. For
little merriment is good for
the soul, but a continuous flow
of wit wearieth the spirit. And
a man that is FUNNY in the
moonlight is as sugar upon
oysters.
AS too muc' salt in the soup,
as dust in Tie eyes, as a new
towel to a tender chin, so is a
Hot Air Artist. He filleth the
room as a loud-speaker. He
causeth the conversation to be-
come static. He starreth him.

A Happy Visit
shall never forget a visit I
made to one such institution a
few years ago. Ones prelimi-
nary idea is that such a visit
will be depressing, but it was
just the opposite. I never saw
so many happy children in my
life. Their affection for each
other and for the guardian who
conducted the institution was
positively uplifting and encour-
aging.

Never Use "Mrs." in Direct

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When writing a young man
friend, what signature should a
married lady use? Should she
use Mrs" as Mrs. Helen

name? READER.
If she knows the young man
well, and if he knows her hus-
bands full name, then her sig
nature to her letter to him
would be:
Very sincerely yours,
HELEN SMITH:
Cordially yours,
HELEN MATTHEWS SMITH.
If she does not know the
young man, and if she is not
sure that he knows her hus-
bands full name, the signature
would be:
Very sincerely yours,
HELEN MATTHEWS SMITH,
or HELEN SMITH.
CMRS. HENRY SMITH.
The latter form. by the way,
is the form that you should
have used in your letter to me.

Spoiled and Doesn't Like
HOuSeWOrk

O416A4O "4AOS 8AAAOA &1&&s
I am % years of age and
have been keeping company
with a lady two years younger.
My problem is that I do not
know when, if ever, I will earn
enough to support her. She is
spoiled, is used to spending
money extravagantly, and is
very independent. She can do,
but does not like to do, house
work. We both care for each
other very much and have both
our families o. K. What can
you advise?
ANXIOUSLY WAITING.
It would be a great mistake
for a boy of % to marry a
girl of 81 who is spoiled and
who doesn't like housework.
Marriage is a pretty risky ex-
pertinent to try these days on
a small salary, even if the girl
is a good manager. But it takes
much love and unselfishness to
make a success of it, and a
spoiled girl would only feel
sorry for herself. Why not turn
your attention to some course
of study that would help you
to get a better job? There are
some good things to be picked
up in these correspondence
courses. Youth is capital and
opportunity. Good luck to you.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Every morning going to work
I meet the same young man.
At first we only glanced at
each other, but now he bows
and lifts his hat, and l smile
1 just can't help it. But it
makes me mad that he won't
get someone to introduce us de-
Gently. I'm not the kind of
girl who starts to talk with a
stranger even if I do smile at
him. He knows several boys
in the firm where I am en-
ployed and, if he had any
"go," he could get one of them
to make us acquainted like de-
cent people. Don't you agree
with me? DORIS.
Most heartily I agree with
you and it looks as if your
chance cavalier isn't much Of a
go-getter not to arrange an in
PRODUCTION through one of his
friends. Perhaps he's just as

quaintance on the smiling hat

be independent enough not to
let it go beyond that as long
as he has friends able to intro
duce you properly.

CT, PETERSBURG, Fla, March
- 30.-It takes a training camp
to make even ball player realize
what a difference there is between
young and old pitching. You see
young fellows report when camp
opens, get into shape quickly and
show an amazing lot Of speed or a
wonderful curve. Then you hear
that they have been sent back for
more experience. Some Of them you
never hear about any more.
The answer is that all the stuff
in the world is no guarantee that a
pitcher will make the big league
grade. The woods are full of young
pitchers who seem to have every
thing they need to win success.
We had a fellow with us one time
who had the greatest curve ball I
have seen since I joined the Yam
KEGS, but it did him no good. He
stuck around for awhile, then went
back to the minors, came back
again and finally was turned loose.
He couldn't control it and he did
not know how to use it, anyway. 1t

Supporting this main cast are Sui
Ivan, Cantrell, Hogsett, Herring
and Wyatt. These men form a
staff Of quality and quantity and
Harris is quoted as saving he
wouldn't swap it for any in the
league.
The Detroit infleld will consist of
Alexander at first; Gehriner at sec
ond; Akers at shortstop, and Nc
Manus on third. If McManus Is
not ready to start because Of a leg
operation, Marvin Owen, rookie
with but four months professional
experience, will play third.
The tiger outheld will see four
recruits in action. Shiver, Doljack,
and the spectacular Walker broth
ers. With the regulars, Roy John
son and Johnny Stone, they will
form two sets Of outfelders, one
for left-handed pitching, one for
right handed.
The veteran Wallie Schang and
John Grabowski have added a
world of strength to the Detroit
catching department. Schang is in
perfect shape and has been fielding
and hitting at a remarkable pace.

Barnard. whom he brought into
the sport and who turned out to be
his successor, also was a genius in
baseball. He lacked Johnson's
showmanship and fare for the spec
tacular, but in him was found q
combination Of executive, rules ex-
pert and public relations man which
baseball too seldom develops.
His was an exemplary viewpoint
which took cognizance not only OF
the owner, but of the players ana
the public. Only recently he exposed
the new ball hoax, and pressed
his crusade for screening the stands.

laughed. But the game has been

EOr years ban Johnson was the
American League. When in full
stride, he overshadowed every other
one person ever connected with the
sport.
He was strange character. He
started out to be lawyer, turned
to writing of the game he loved and
knew so well, and became the out
standing figure in it. That sharp
forcefulneSs Of speech and action in
later years became a baff1ed, beaten
Feasibility which fought of SYM
pathy, and left johnson hrooding
over the past in an angry lonesome
ness.
Built $4,000 Crypt
AS he fingered over the triumphs
Of other years, and the ingratitude
Of the present, he gave a thought 10
the future. Several years ago he
built, near his rural home at Spen-
Ger, Ind, a $4,000 mausoleum for
Mrs. johnson and himself. To this
cold granite crypt, which on
Wednesday will become his home
everlasting, Ban made periodical
visits. There he would sit for hours,
the old storm petrol at peace.
The grand disdainful gesture Of
Johnson's career came in the fall
Of 1927, when he resigned the league
presidency, and turned the office
over to Frank Navin, Tom Shibe,
Bob Quinn and Clark Grif1th.
At t meeting here the year prev
ious, Colonel Jacob Rupert and
Griffith tried to get him to step
down. They told him the league
would take care of his salary, and
advised him to go on a tour for the
remainder Of his term. when I
quit, I'll quit, and won't want any
Of your money" he shouted. He
was placated, and induced to take
a leave of absence. RUPERT and
others were alarmed over his health
at the time.

resignation in 1927, he tossed away
