WISE WORDS

And what is friendship but a
name?
Presents, I often say, endear
absents.
Pitchers have ears, and I have
many servants.
This life is all chequered
with pleasures and woes.
Small people love to talk Of
great people.
It takes two to speak the
truth. one to speak and another
to hear.
Music is the real universal
speech Of mankind.
Go forth under the open sky
and list to natures teaching.
There is no virtue like neces-
sity.
Old age is charming, but
what a misfortune that it lasts
so short a time!
If the fool would persist in
his folly he would become wise.
Lord, what fools these NOR
tails be.

up all night recently to com.
plete a script which was to go
on the air the following eve
ming. After finishing the job
and lying down for an hour,
he got up and discovered that
the manuscript was gone. He
looked from one end of the
house to the other, and then
came to the conclusion that
the baby had thrown it in the
fire.
cts absurd to think that
Junior threw your script into

A Suggestion
For a Historian

With insane war talk in
the air Nicholas Murray
Butler in a report for intef4
course and education divis-
ion of the Carnegie Endows+
ment complains that arms
and munition makers are
reaching out as of old, and
to a greater extent, perhaps,
than formerly, to control
the action of governments
relating to peace. He charges
these with responsibility for
the theory that while We
must work for peace we
must prepare for war.
Here is a suggestion foE
some historian: It would
make a fascinating and inn
portant volume if some one
would undertake to trace
the degree of responsibility
for wars to the propaganda
and conniving of the manu-.
facturers of arms and am.
munition. If he could-and
of course he can 't-have ace
cess to the archives of gov-
ernments he would tap a
rich mine we have no doubt.
All of which means that
behind most wars is the
greed Of a very small mi-
nority ever ready to turn
the blood of the slaughtered
youth into dividends. It
does seem that society, in q
crisis especially, ought to
find a way to protect itself
against the propaganda od
the cold-blooded schemers
for war for profit. !

Prejudices Born

It is automatic that it is
difficult to hate anyone we
really know. Most preju"
dices are born Of ignorance
or misunderstanding. This
is true between nations as
between individuals. France,
having in mind what it
thinks is a feeling against
her in the United States,
has voted an appropriation
to be expended through
moving pictures, the radio,
the press, magazines and
lectures in the removing of
these imagined prejudices.
There is no doubt that
France suffered a bit here
because of the comments of
the French press and some
deputies apropos of the re-
fusal to make the December
payment on the debt. But
everyone here, while resent
ing the noint of view of
these, had a thorough ap-
probation of the position Of
Herriot.
It is true that for some
years misunderstanding Of
the two peoples, that did
not reach governmental
circles, has been develop
ing. The people of both
nations have been RESPONSE
BILE. American tourists have
returned convinced that the
French do not like Ameri-
cans, and the French, judg-
ing all Americans by some,
have concluded that we are
an arrogant, flamboyant,
boastful people, overpleased
with ourselves because Of
our money. (Ah, those old
dead daysD individuals in
both nations can do more to
remove these prejudices

Correct
Manners
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
DSu&Ia ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am planning to have birth
announcement cards printed for
our coming new baby, and I
would appreciate your advice as
to what type of card is most
frequently used. what infor-
nation is placed on these cards,
also the proper time for send
ing the cards.
Your column has solved many
problems for me. R.
suggest that you do not
have these cards printed. Use
either the formal engraved type
of birth announcement cards,
or buy the most conventional
announcement card that you
can find.
The formal way of making
this birth announcement is the
use of the Mr.. and Mrs. card
(engraved, larger than the in
dividual visiting card), with the
tiny white card attached to it
with very narrow white ribbon.
On the small card is the name
of the baby, engraved, and, in
the lower left corner, the date
of the birth.
If you don't want to send
your announcements in this
formal manner, look about for
very simple, white cards, with
two or three lines, to be filled
in. Don't buy the ones that
have space for weight" place
of BIRTH" and so forth. The only
things that should be registered
on such cards are the formal
name of the mother and father
(Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Wells
HalD, the name of the baby,
and the date Of the birth.
The cards are sent just as
soon as it is convenient to send
them.

R HOUR CREATE A SENSATION
Advice To
Cove|orn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Deserted by Her Husband

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About six months ago my hus-
bands firm sent him from this
State to another. He never
reached there, 1 fear, as no word
or sign of him has been seen.
1 have three children and am
expecting a fourth soon. I never
had any too much patience, and
now 1 have less than ever. I
am trying to make up to the
children for the loss of their
father, but every night l feel
sorry for some harsh word or
a spank that I have given them
during the day.
If six months can go by with
out ever seeing my husband,
how about the years ahead Of
me? Although he was 18 years
older than I, we were very de.
voted to each other. I have had
to move into a cheap neighbor-
hood. I don't mind that, but
the neighborS' children have
such low habits and wrong
instincts that 1 have to keep my
three shut up on a side porch
away from them. I feel they
are too young to learn what
these children are only too
anxious to teach them.
Please tell me how I can be
patient, so that my children
can look back on their child
hood with a few happy mem
orieS. Mrs. w. F. L.
I wish you could have trusted
me with your name and ad-
dress, my dear friend, as I
should have been glad to write
TO you personally. Indeed, I
don't see how anyone could
blame a woman, laced with
such an ordeal, for losing pat
ience. I think most of us would
have broken completely under
such a strain. Your problem is
one that would tax the re-
sources of the most heroic of
our sex. But I am sure that
your splendid will to bring up
the children so that they may
look back upon a happy child
hood could not be bettered.
Why do you not make in
quiries through your husbands
firm and see if they have any
news of him? Get in touch with
the Missing Persons Bureau,
and see what help they can
give you. Also, certain radio
stations flash descriptions Of
missing persons and tell where
they were last seen. If you
have not tried these various
sources Of information, per.
haps it might not be too late
to invoke their aid.
