Wales Advice
| Goes for Women of World
LIE Matin, Paris.-In the course of
an urgent appeal to the country to
engage in the practice of economies,
the Prince of Wales recently made an
illusion to the duties of loyal and
thrifty housewives
Every woman" he said, "at the
moment Of spending her housekeeping
money, should not only adhere strictly
to her budget, but, more important
than that, should verify the origin of
the products which she Is purchasing.
Thus every woman, by exercising such
combination of economy and patriot
ism. contributes to the health of the
nation"
Those are words so wise that they 20
far beyond the bounds of country and
address themselves to the women of
the whole world. France is not in a
situation as perilous as that of England.
but why wait for the last minute to
aid ones country in the way one should
aid it? Spend wisely, and with full
knowledge of the source, quality and
value of the purchase. Choose the ar
ticle or product well, and then do not
fail to make the maximum use thereof,
after 1t has been acquired Such are
the prerogative and duties of every
woman in every land, and at all times.

Advises Lesson In Courtesy
for School Boys.
North China Daily News, Shanghai
Cletter to editor)-I would like to bring
to your notice the behavior of certain
of the boys attending a cerain school
when travelling by the busses, espe-
cially at the noon period. Not once, but
many times do notice that these boys
(who / understand enjoy greatly re-
duced fares) invariably remain seated
when ladies and older people are stand
ing. Not only this, but as soon as the
bus door Is opened they make rush
for the seats given up by the men pas
sengers for ladies. Behavior of this
description can only bring foreigners in
general and this school in particular
into disrepute and perhaps lesson on
courtesy would not be out of place in
the schools curriculum.-COU

Potatoes and Benzine VS..
Melody and Happiness.
Cologne GaZette-Dr. Braunfels, sub
director of the municipal symphony or
chestra, announces that unless the pub
lie supports the organization better this
coming season, 1t is likely their musical
program may end. And the same is un-
doubtedly true of the operatic season.
More and more the people are becoming
accustomed to the renditions of musical
programs over the radio and phonograph,
which they can enjoy without the ne
cessity, perhaps, Of going a considerable
distance, at some inconvenience on q
rainy night, to hear and see perform
ers IN the flesh. Not only these con-
crete obstacles to a profitable musical
season, in so far as the artists are con-
cerned, must be surmounted, If the con-
certs and opera are to be continued, but
all the ideals Of the public must be ele-
waited again to their old standards when
romance and tradition exercised their
pleasant influence in the nations con-
sciousness. These days there is far too
little saving sentiment and sensibility,
and far too much Of sordidness and
practlcality. Money now buys potatoes
and nenzine-not melody and happiness.
