Every
Day
Sense

TT was mere chance that per-
i mitted me to listen during the
course of one day to two fathers.
The first proudly was proclaiming
the election Of his son to Phi Beta
Kappa. He enlarged upon his
subject at length, and vowed that
he always had given the utmost
care to the rearing of the lad and
that brains naturally ran in his
family.
The second man bitterly was
bewailing the wildness of his heir.
The boy was getting entirely out
of hand and seemed daily to be-
have in more reprehensible
manner. And this parent, strange
ly, did not blame himself at all,
but made the usual excuse.
I've always told my wife," he
said, that she would ruin the boy
with indulgence. She never could
deny him a thing. But you know
how women are. They'll never
listen to reason"
n
XXTHEN it comes to this partic-
w ular subject, men are the
most irrational and inconsistent
creatures alive.
I feel certain it is not an ex-
aggeration to say that a father
always will claim credit for the
virtues of his children and make
his wife responsible for their
vices.
This seems to be a sort of
illogical idiosyncrasy that they
can not overcome. And this idea
has held prevalence for so long
that the public takes it for
granted.
A man grows up and becomes
a genius, and although biologists
assure us otherwise, we give his
sire all the honors for his brains
and his virtue.
If, instead, the boy goes to the
chair, we always say the mother
was responsible. She failed in
her parental duty. Either she
pampered him too much or she did
not give him the right sort of
training in virtuous and pieus
ways.
Men never will be a consistent
or a generous sex until they have
learned to take responsibility for
their mistakes. And is it too
severe to say that at least half
the blame for erring children
should rest on the shoulders of
their fathers.

JULIA LANDERS

OUSTED TODAY
Board Caucus With Mayor
Seen as Finale for Rec

Deposing of Miss Julia Ladders as
assistant recreation director was
expected this afternoon at a park
board meeting following a caucus
OF board members with Mayor Regi-
nald H. Sullivan.
Logan c. Scholl, board member
today said he favored giving the
recreation department a thorough
cleaning
David B. Kilgore, former recrea-
ton director, in his resignation
recently, charged Miss Landers had
interfered with his work; that she
was author of anonymous letters, a
'troublemaker" in exciting public
attitude against him, and that the
job was useless" and should be
abolished.
That the board is to caucus with
Sullivan before the meeting was
believed an indication Miss Landers
had marShalled support of Demo-
cratic leaders.
She is former Seventh district

active in women's city and state

CLEVER COOKS
USE SUGAR TO
SEASON FOOD
Improves the Taste-appeal
and Increases Nourishment
Of the Dish

There is no need to deny yourself
favor when you eat essential foods.
According to leading nutritional
authorities and dietitians, the use
of sugar to season vegetables, meat
dishes and fruits is entirely proper.
Sugar adds zest to essential foods
which carry vitamins, mineral salts
and roughage. 1t heightens the
taste" of peas, beans, spinach and
other vegetables. 1t improves the
flavor of meat stews and makes
them more palatable. In the case
of fresh fruits, sugar modifies
harsh acids.
In vegetable and meat cookery,
a dash of sugar to a pinch of salt
is a popular rule of clever cooks.
The great value Of seasoning and
havoring foods with sugar is that
it makes them more enjoyable. Too
often essential foods are rejected,
especially by children, because they
are not pleasing to the taste. Most
foods are more delicious with sugar.
