FOIly'S Search

FOlly'S Search
Our hearts are foolish things,
and so they long
For vague perfection, imaging
in vain
The magic of a never-ending
song,
The pattern of a moon that
does not wane.
They would have aSterS that
would never fade,
And pinks denying winters
breath is near;
They would have youth by
necromancy stayed,
Mans life at April in a static
year.
Our hearts are foolish things,
and so they seek
For what, possessing, they would
soon reject.
Perfection would appa1l them In
a week,
The loveliest sky with clouds Is
ever flecked;
And hands most pasSionate1y
clutch and twine
About the gift they swiftly must
resign!

DOUBTING DORA.
Sometimes they're like that.
They turn up promptly week af-
ter week at the family table,
and never think of making the
slightest return in the way of
hospitality. There really isn't
anything one can do about it.
Either drop them or keep on
in the hope they may awaken

thing.
This is particularly hard to

The children get on his
nerves; my presence irritates
him: he is grouchy and discon-
tented - but there are no
grounds for divorce.
If he would only talk, we
might find some way out Of
a it: if it would make him hap
pier, I would make any sacri-
flee. I do want him to smile
again and say he's happy.
After all, life is short, and
without love it is not worth
while. He is a dear, and I
still love him.
AS his wife, this situation is
terribly hard on me. Shall I
keep silent and wait?
LONESOME WIFE.
How a man blessed with a
wife who can write as affec-
tionately and unselfishly as you
do about a philandering hus'
band, can be indifferent to her
is a mystery to me. But when
men no longer in their first
youth, forget their wives, homes
and children in a mad pursuit
after something they think will
bring them happiness, they
aren't quite sane.
Sometimes they see the folly
of throwing aside everything for
what too often proves to be only
a case of fascination, and they
come back like little boys who
have been almost drowned while
taking a forbidden swim.
Again, they keep on with a
new love. to the exclusion Of
children, home. duty, and every
thing else, and are selfishly
happy.
You tell me there are no
grounds for divorce; you have
children who require a home
and their fathers protection.
Better not walk out for the
other woman, no matter how
self-sacrificing you may feel.
Your children are your first
consideration. Wait!

Tightwad Or Just Shy?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
He keeps telling me how
much he loves me, but he never

He comes to our house for a

jolly, and my parents like him,
but never has he given me so
much as a bag of peanuts, or a

Exactly the same principles
should govern the mother in
handling that important prob
lem which we have been dis
cussing, the teaching OF toilet
habits.
Each time the mother puts
the baby on the chamber she
should be alone in the room
with him, so that nobody or
nothing can distract his atten-
ton from his lesson" The
mother herself should not pet or

is over, but concentrate quietly

A married couple should not

There isn't any rule about
this, but if they are going to be
too much absorbed in each
other, the hostess will be wise
not to seat them next to each

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am a divorce and I wish
to embroider bed linen. Must
I use my maiden initial or my
married initial, as I still use
nv married name, but expect to
remarry very soon? B.
Since you are to remarry
soon, don't use the initials OF
your present name. Under the
circumstances, I suggest that
YOU use the initials of your fu-
ture name. That is, say your
maiden name we're Belle Smith,
and you are to marry Henry
Brown. Use the initials B. S. B.

it is improper for my young
man friend to wear a business
suit to dinner dance to be
held at a hotel, while I wear a
formal black velvet gown? I do
not own an informal dinner
dress and cannot afford to buy
one. ..
The young man should wear
a dinner Jacket (tuxedo) to the
dinner dance. It would be in
consistent for him to wear a
business suit when you are plan
ming to wear an evening gown.

Please tell me what sort Of
dress would be appropriate for
such an occasion? The girls
and boys are between the ages
of 13 and 20.
I thought Of getting her a
pretty afternoon dress of a
light shade, not too elaborate,
so that she can wear it to all
sorts of affairs. B.
If each girl of this organiza-
tion is asked to invite a boy
as her guest, then it will be
proper for your daughter to
invite boy from her school
or her church, to be her part
ner for the evening.
And it is certainly a "social
fortification" for a girl to have
a partner-for-the- when
she goes to a dance-and espe-
cially when she goes to her first
dance! The best form is for
your daughter to write a note
of invitation to the boy whom
she wishes to invite.
A simple dance frock, Of a
light, becoming shade, would
be the appropriate dress for
your daughter to wear.

Protection Promised
 State Milk Dealers
Secretary Wallace Moves to Control Interstate Sales
 of Milk in N V. Area-iCense System Proposed
By PAUL MAX Democrat COrrcspOndent.)

Washington, D. C., March s. Farmers of New Haven and other Connecticut counties selling milk for consumption in the New York city milk shed will be protected after June l by federal license guaranteeing them a fair price for their milk, an official of the Agri- cultural Adjustment AdministrG- ton predicted to-day.
 At a Tuesday conference in. the Willard hotel of officials of the states of New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachu- setts, Connecticut and Maryland, which included special representa- tives of the governors of each of these states, it was decided to ask Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace to proceed immediately with plans for a federal license to control interstate sales of milk sold in New York city, Brooklyn, Ho- boken, and other cities and bor- oughs of the metropolitan area. A combination of federal licenses with state licenses, the latter to control intrastate sales of milk, will avert disastrous price wars, guarantee farmers just returns for their milk, and eliminate the pos- sibility of the sale of unhealthy milk, it was said.
 State Prices Low
 At present Connecticut farmers are forced to accept comparatively low prices for their milk, 1t was explained. Sales of milk for the metropolitan area consumption will be subjected to similar prov'- sions, no matter whether the milk Is purchased in the state where 1t is produced, as an intrastate trans action, or sold in New York city

employer may bear the entire cost himself, thus reducing company profits. This will be difficult or inn possible in many cases because stockholders who now number millions in this country, certainly should receive consideration. Dur ing practically all of the depres- sion business as whole has been losing instead of making money, and even in normal times 40% of all corporations have defiicts each year. An additional tax upon em- ployment if borne by stockholders would tend to reduce stock prices. would make investments less at- tractive, would in many cases be the straw that breaks the camePs back" and lead to curtailment or bandonment of operations, and would in the final analysis react against the workers it is intended to benefit.
 As third alternative, however, some employers might be tempted to invest in additional machinery and use more machine power and less direct labor. thus reducing the wage bill in order to offset the tax. Employers, of course, always have an inventive to consider the relative merits and efficiency of direct labor and increased use of machine power. but this bill would furnish an additional incentive for more use of machinery.
 As fourth alternative employ CTS might offset the tax by affect ing other economies such as elim- mating or reducing the hundreds of million dollars spent by them for group life insurance, plant pen sions. and such other measures, which today directly benefit or protect several hundred thousand industrial employees.

 frios face, but the guard who ad-
 justed Gagliardi's was shaky. The wind tore 1t from his fingers, blew 1t off the gallows into the snow.
 He had to run down and retrieve 1t. Gagliardfs frightened eyes followed him. As he ran back up the stairs, Gagliardis eyes rolled up toward the sky. A minute la
 ter the trap fell and the men were
 dead.
 As soon as they were dis
 patched, the formal procession
 moved over to another arm of the
 radiating star where Mrs Sarao awaited. The crown and tha
 hangsman marched before her to
 the base of her private gallows. Her ankles were bound and her
 hands tied behind her. She re-
 peated the lftany after the priest and appeared calm and resigned. Prisoners Saw Hanging The executions were watched by
 prisoners whose cells faced into
 two sections of the yard. Among
 those who watched Gagliardi and
 Bonofrio die was Joseph Alisero, 33, murderer of Grazielle Vien, d night club entertainer. If courtS had not intervened he would have
 been down in the yard dying on tEe same gallows. Because or tt stay of execution, he lives until May 6.
 Just before the traps fell, Ellis
 said to the witnesses: Take off your hats, gentlemen. It iu n,aIU rnarl< nf reSnect tO
 the dying"
 Ellis has said that before each of his hangings. He has hanged 500 murderers throughout Can ada.
 Bell TOlIcd the End As soon as the first death march
 began, the bell of the prison chapel
 began tolling. After the first trap fell, a black flag was sent up the
 prison pole.
 The bodies were taken to the prison morgue where the coroner held inquests. He certified death
 as due to ''strangulation caused by hanging"
 Mrs Sarao engaged GagliarJi
 and Bonofrio to murder her hus-
 band. She wanted to collect his $5,00O insurance. Gagiardi Bon ofrio lured him to lonely section,
 knocked him out, then dropped
 heavy stone on his head until he was dead.
 James Bonofrio, 21, brother of Angel, arrived at the jail at 6:15 Il. m. He was unshaven and shaky.
 He had spent three days trying to
 save his brothers life. The guard at the massive steel gates refused to admit him into
 the jail yard. Sobbing, he turned
 away. He telephoned Governor
 Napoleon Seguin of the Montreal
 jail, identified himself and was | allowed to enter the prison. He visited his brother in his cell,
 kissed him goodby, and a moment
 later witnessed his execution.

WINDY CITY NAME
 LOST BY CHICAGO
New York, Other Towns More Entitled to Famous
 BIustery Nickname

Chicago Nineteen American cities, including New York. Ph:l- adelphia, Detroit and Baltimore, arc more entitled to Chicago'E nickname, Windy City," than the Illinois metropolis itself, it is shown by weather statistics for 1884. While Chicago experienced only six days last year when the maximum wind velocity rose be- yond 32 miles an hour, Buffalo took the high furry laurels with 97 days when little hurricanes of the 32-mile or higher variety played around the chimneys of the Lake Erie community.
 Talking of weather, Chicago points to the fact that last sum- mer, an unusually torfid period, Chicago had only 31 days when the mercury shot over the 90 mark: while Minneapolis, away up in the northwest, had 32 such days.
 Taking the average for the past 65 years, the longest period avail able under the U. s. Weather Bu- reau statistics, the Chicago Asso- citation of Commerce is making much ado over the fact that Chi cago's summer average, figure based on the mercury performance of June, July and August, has been a fraction under 71 degrees.
 Los Angeles and some of the Florida towns will be interested to know that Chicago as a sunshine city also made favorable record, ranking 14th in 34 cities reporting on the percentage of possible sun- shine during the year. The sun shone here 61 per cent of the time. Santa Fe, N. M., led the list with percentage of 78. Seattle, ranking at the bottom, had only AZ per cent sunshine.
 As to winter conditions, eight other cities have more days with the temperature under 32 degrees than has Chicago. They are Min neapolis, Detroit, Buffalo, Milwau- kee, Rochester, Peoria, Santa Fe, and Cleveland.
 Eight cities have more snowy days and eleven have more days with thundershowers than Chi CagO.
