No. The husband concentrates on
his wife's leck of youth or beauty or
charm or domesticity or whatever her
faults are until they become unendur-
able. He lacks the philosophy to

60 WITH wives. If only they had
the wisdom to take their husbands
as they are without trying to reform
them nearer to their hearts desire.
We should be saved from so many
messy divorces and from the pitiable
spectacle of so many middle-aged
women who have thrown up good
homes, and husbands who were good
providers because the men they were
married to were not romantic or had
gr6uchy dispositions or philandered
q little.
And II we would only take our
friends as they are, with their little
peculiarities. their aggravating habits,
their queer little ways, how much of
sweetness and happiness it would add
to our Dves. For, after all. the only
real definition Of friendship Is that
of the little boy who said that q friend
was one who knew you and liked you
still. DOROTHY DIX.

My Neighbor Says:

While making plans for your
gardens watch the advertise
ments. New kinds Of seeds and
plants are offered by many Of
the seed growers.
Rapidly growing plants need
plenty of food. Use a plant food
regularly now on old plants Just
starting q new growth.
When serving lettuce be sure
that no water is on the leaves
when French dressing is added.
The water will spoil the dressing
and the oil will not adhere to
the lettuce. Do not put dressing
on lettuce until it is to be served.
A little cornstarch added to
the salt in the salt cellar will
prevent hardening. Proportions
are half a teaspoon of cornstarch
to two tablespoons of salt.

The increase Of the gasoline tax
for relief purposes would subject the
motorists to the vicious practice Of
diversion which has been uniformly
condemned by all experts in high
ways and highway financing. The
fact that some of the proceeds of
the new tax might be used to employ
people on relief on some unrelated
road projects does not relieve the
procedure of the stigma of abuse
"Once the motorists are made the
victim of q levy Of this kind, car
ownership becomes the symbol Of
taxability for general purposes and
there is no limit to the proportions
that such policy might assume.
I'VE have every sympathy for those
who are destitute. but relief is the

whole and not the obligation Of one

With 200 Treasury architects already

today high Treasury officials ex-

were employed with full understand

positions. With the completion Of
the specific jobs for which they were
hired, it was explained, need for
their services was ended.
However, the protesting organiza-

Other reasons for the smoke pail
which sometimes makes Washington
look like Pittsburgh include improper

types Of coal not suited to existing
equipment. Kugel explained. He said
indifference or ignorance Of stokers,
janitors and building superintendents,
resulting in fuel boilers with too much
