embark upon an intensive warfare
that may or may not be permanently
successful. The chances are that it
won't, because in the case of an in
sect pest there are plenty more
where that one came from"
The only thing to do is to become
familiar enough with the looks and
habits and weak points of our creepy
Gravity visitors so that we are able
to rout them in the quickest and
most lasting manner that science has
been able to discover. And, of course,
to do this, recognition must be
primary necessity.
Today We have with us four little
pals that, while not usually given
to mob activities, can cause quite a
little destruction and damage in the
home in one way or another. And
these four are encountered in the
best of families far oftener than one
woulo imagine. BY the way, did you
know that this type of household pest
Is known as a social insect?'-

EIRST, allow me to present to you
that glittering after-dark lover,
Mr.. Silverfish, alias the "Slicker." He
is q silvery white affair. sporting
three long tails, and is often seen,
wraithlike, when books, papers, cloth
ing and SO on are suddenly moved
and light shines upon him. With his
gliding movement he slides quickly
into a crack or cranny-it is diff
cult to catch him when he is really
on the run. A close cousin to the
book-loving silverfish is the fire
brat" which has different markings,
and likes to spend his time hanging
out around brick fireplaces and bake
ovens of the old type, where it is warm
and cozy.

~ EAR MISS DIX: What should
woman do who is married
to a man who is kindly and
A~ moral, but q man who just
can't make a living and support her
or can't even support himself? He
isn't especially lazy, just has no initia-
tive, no pep, no faculty of getting
along. What is wife to do with
husband like that when she knows
he will never be different? Should
she divorce him and marry some man
who would give her decent living?
Or should she Just stick to her bad
bargain? What hope is there for
her? holland.
Answer-There isn't anv hope for
her in her husband and the sooner
she recognizes the fact and adjusts
her life to meet it, the better for her.
1t is better thing for a woman TO
realize that the man to whom she is
married is a weakling who cannot do
a mans part in the world and provide
for his family, but she only wastes
time if he is that type of man. in be-
fooling herself into believing that
somehow. someway, he will change
into go-getter.
He never will. He can't, just be-
cause it isn't his nature to. Inef-
ficiency is bred into his very bones,
and why some people can never do
anything just right; why their judg-
ment is always at fault and they always
make the wrong decision in every mat
ter; why they always get cheated in
every trade they make; why they are
always just too late to get the job they
have applied for; why they will work
like beavers at something in which
there is no profit, and be simply inval-
liable at a picnic or church supper and
be worthless in store or Office, nobody
knows. 1t is just that they are, and
their wives have to accept them on
that basis.
WHETHER a wife should divorce
w husband merely because he can't
make a living is problem beyond my
ability to solve, because there are so
many angles to the situation. Ger
tainly no one could contend that she
is under any obligation to starve with
him. Still more certainly she commits
a crime if she brings children into the
world to whom she cannot give de-
cent food and shelter and education.
But there are men who cannot make
money, yet who are so tender and
understanding and devoted that they
feed their wives souls on angels food
even If their stomachs lack bread.
What a wife does with this sort of
husband is so manifestly her own af-
fair that no outsider dare interfere.
Many a woman loves such husband
well enough to support him and to
think herself lucky in having him.
Men, somehow, seem to be better
sports about the no-account mate than
women are There are thousands upon
thousands of men who are married to
trifling women who make husbands
get up and get their own breakfasts
while they lie abed and snooZe Of
mornings; who are too lazy to keep
themselves clean; who never make the

Your smart chamois sports jackets

The Old Gardener Says:

Privets are used so univer-
sally for making hedges that their
value as specimen plants or in

overlooked. There are many per-
sons, even among amateur gar

with the flowers of the privet.

hedges. When allowed to grow

high, producing in June large
conical-shaped flower heads, the
blossoms being an attractive
creamy-white, but having a rath-

JACK JOHNSON
IN OPERA ROLE

NEW YORK.-Jack Johnson,
the only Negro ever to hold the
worlds heavyweight boxing cham
pionShip, is about to make his
debut in grand opera. He will ap-
pear in Aida" Friday night at
the Hippodrome. Although he ad-
mitted that he could sing quite
well, his vocal talent will not be
drawn upon in the opera. Instead
he will struggle with a band Of
captorS.
johnson is to. be cast as the
leading general of the Ethiopians
brought to Memphis in chains by
the conquering Rhadames. After
he has been brought on the stage,
he will struggle to free himself.
Asked If he was not afraid he
would hurt the extras employed
to Subdue him, johnson said no.
He explained:
"Tu get enthuSed, but / never
let my emotions OverruIe me.
/ can box with a kid and never
hurt him."
JO1l1lSOn confessed ne was very
fond of opera. He said he would
go without his dinner any day to
hear one. Aida" is his favorite
and Verdi his favorite operatic
composer. He finds Wagner very
heavy" Caruso remains in his es-
timation the greatest male singer
and Tetrazzini the greatest woman
singer.
They'll never replace her.
She was fat and dumpy, but she
needed not beauty"
He does not feel that opera
singers are more comely than
they were. Geraldine Farrar,
Lima Cavalieri and Lucrezia Bori,
he declared, were just as lovely as
today'S singers.
