Theoretically, that is, in practice,
unhappily things are different.
Goodness knows. no man would like
to have a corner of his particular
workshop cluttered with chattering
females, sewing equipment, dress pat
terms, pots and pans and the like.
And yet this same man feels that he
has a perfect right to walk into his
wife's kitchen, criticize her arrange
ments and activities. blow pipe smoke
Or worse, cigar smoke-into the
gingham curtains and drop ashes into
the clean dishes. It never occurs to
him that perhaps she has method
in what seems madness to him, and
that if she has put the coffee canister
in a certain place she has darned
good reason for doing So There are
too many males who, although they
wouldn't think of drying the dishes,
or helping with supper, love to putter
around the shelves and closets when
they exert themselves to go into the
kitchen for a bedtime snack. And is
anything more maddening to a me-
thodical woman to come downstairs in
the morning and discover everything
rearranged so that nothing is where
it can be found? Think, oh, think,
what would happen if she tried the
same tactics on her husbands desk!!
MO, HUSBANDS should realize that
the kitchen is the workshop of his
homeland that it is entirely under
the control of its own special boss. He
should stay out of it, unless especially
invited in to give helping hand, and
he should, above all, keep his hands
to himself. No matter how much his
fingers may itch to set the sugar bowl
on the second shelf rather than on the
first, he should endeavor to control
this base impulse, and leave it where
his wife wants it.
If the milk bottles in the ice box
are not standing in military ranks
he should set his jaw and refrain from
lining them up in formation. The
chances are that they are placed just
that way because of matters myster-
ious to him-possibly something to do
with age, with ownership, with cream
for breakfast-oh, there are dozen
occult reasons why milk bottles are
left in the odd ways that they are. If
he doesn't like the butter left over
parked in an old coffee cup, there is
no reason he should try to wrap it up
and put it back in the carton with the
rest. 1t is intended for cooking pur-
poses tomorrow, and his action may
we'll be the cause of his breakfast being
delayed. In which case he will howl,
and look innocent)
Another point that seems to prove
irresistible to most husbands, when

when he said that if they married
they would have to stand on their OVID
feet; that his door would be shut in
their faces: that they couldn't wish
off any husband or wife on him to
take care Of, and that they would
have to go hungry if they couldn't
feed themselves. The modern young
sters are no fools. They know the
value of a dollar down to the last
penny, and mighty few of them would
risk starvation for the sake Of love.
1t is because they know their par.
ents haven't the backbone to make
them assume the responsibility for
their acts that makes them rush into
fool marriages.
DEAR MISS DIX; married
widower who has a little girl :
years old whose mother died at hel
birth. The child has been with heI
grandmother ever since. I adore this
baby and am crazy to have her. Sc
is her father. But the grandmother
doesn't want to give her up. I feel
that I can do much more for hei
than the grandmother can. Who dc
you think should have the child?
3. T.
Answer-I think it would be much
better for the child to be reared In
her fathers house, where she would
have his love and influence and the
care Of good, young stepmother,
than for her to be brought up away
from her father by her grandmother
Grandmothers are nearly always too

anxiety. We have been most indulgent.
Have given her pretty clothes. Every
thing. She has her own automobile
in which she tears around the country
at breakneck speed without telling
us where she is going or when she is
coming back. And now she thinks
she is in love with young boy who
has never had a job or made dollar
and has no way to support her. What
would you advise us to do?
TROUBLED MOTHER.
Answer-Sell the automobile, to be-
gin with. If she has no car, you
automatically restrict her activities to
a certain extent. She can't roam from
road house to road house at night on
foot, and if she has no car in which
to haul around lot of wild hoodlums,
they will drop her for some one who
has an automobile in which they can
deadbeat their way about.
get many letters from weak and
overindulgent parents who bewail the
fact that they have no control over
their youngsters who are doing things
which they should not do, going to
places to which they should not go,
generally skidding to destruction.
These distraught fathers and mothers
beat upon their breasts and moan:
What can we do? What can we do?"
And answer themselves by saying:
Nothing"
A PPARENTLY it never occurs to
them that they have the remedy
in their own hands and that it Is the
simplest and most effective one possi-
BILE. 1t consists in cracking down on
their children's expenditures. In
swapping shut the good old pocket
book. In taking away the automobiles.
In refusing to pay for the orgies in
which their children indulge.
The lack of the price is the begin
ming Of virtue. 1t takes money to
give wild parties and buy liquor and
60 to hot night clubs. The kind Of
girls whom boys shouldn't know have
scant use for the boy whose allow
ance is so small he can only feed
them on sandwiches and beer and
take them to the movies. The para
site boys who hang around girls who
have their own cars and who are good
for the loan of money after a little
love making pass up those girls who
are on foot and who have to save
up for their finger waves.

the temperature Of hell. The remark is
made for its wise-crack value alone.
1t does not identify any one with the
devil. Nor does it imply any expecta-
ton on Gen. Johnson's part of SPEND
ing any time in the place about the
temperature Of which he shows con-
cern. The remark Is meant merely to
express a homely philosophy. It is
kin to President Lncoln's comment
when Gen. Mcclellan was reviling
him. Lincoln said he would gladly
act as hostler to Gen. McClellan's
horse II he thought he could thereby
win the war.
Most Of the serious comments de-
plore Mr.. Sloan's refusal. He was
asked by Secretary Perkins to come to
her Office and confer with Mr.. Lewis.
Mr.. Sloan put his refusal on the
ground that Mr.. Lewis sit-down
strikers are illegally in possession Of
General Motors plants. and that he
would enter into no negotiation with
Mr.. Lewis until after the illegal pos
session is ended.
That puts Mr.. Sloan's refusal upon
q sound principle. But there are two
principles involved-at least, there Is
dictum Of propriety almost equal in
force to the principle. ANY request
from either the President or a men,
Der Of the Presidents cabinet, such as
Miss Perkins made, is commonly re-
garded as q command. Between this
rule and the principle Mr.. Sloan stood
on there Is not any necessary con-
fiict. Mr. Sloan could have conformed
to both. He could have accepted Miss
Perkins invitation and come to Miss
Perkins conference. There he could
have made his statement that he
could not pay any price for evacuation
Of General Motors property, not even
the price of agreeing to negotiate
that the sit-down strikers must be
withdrawn as the rectiflcation Of an
illegal act: and that only after evacua-
ton would he enter upon negotiations

Disaster Recalls Jadwin,
Author Of Vast Flood
Control Plan.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

TN 1927 Congress approved the
Jadwin plan calling for the
gradual expenditure Of $325 ,0C0,-
II 600 to tame the Mississippi, with
80 per cent of the funds to be pro-
vided by the Federal Government.
The plan was the most searching, de-
tailed and, according to leading en-
gineers. the most hopeful ever offered.
This present food, 1t Is estimated,
already has swept away many more
millions than the above.
Gen. Edgar Jadwin, head Of the
Army Engineers. died in March, 1881.
His life work has been so strongly
projected into the future that 1t be-
comes pertinent in today's tragic epi-
logue Of his career. He was, perhaps,
Americans greatest floodf1ghter. He
was a quiet, self-effacing man whose
life story was written solely in chap
ters of achievement, most of 1t un-
known and disregarded until the
deeds were done.
In the early 1905, New York first
heard Of Capt Jadwin, West Point,
1890, who had done some remarkable
engineering work in tripling the size
Of Ellis Island. Then, later, one Capt.
Jadwin was extolled for brilliant ex-
ploits in building the Galveston sea
wall; again Maj. Jadwin had
worked wonders in building the Gatun
Locks, as co-builder Of the Panama

the news leaked out that one Lieut..
Gen. Jadwin had Just about every
kind Of domestic and foreign decora-
ton man could have.
The big food Of 1922 shocked Con-
gress into action, or at any rate mild
curiosity. In the succeeding years,
with Herbert Hoover, as Secretary Of
Commerce, eagerly interested, various
proposals boiled down to the Jadwin
plan, which Gen. Jadwin, self
starter, had been quietly and diligently
evolving. Calvin Coolidge gave it his
blessing. From Cairo to the Gulf,
along 1915 miles of river bank-in-
cluding both sides Of the river-there
were to be food channels, spillways,
diversion foodways and a great
heightening Of the leveeS all the way.

When he turned professional, he lost

him at New York University. He Is an

must stand on principle. He must do
this not merely for the sake Of the
principle, but also as an act Of loyalty
to those Of his Workers. majority Of
all-who do not participate in the
sit-down. At the same time Mr.. Sloan
must keep himself right in the arena
Of public opinion. He must also be
watchful about his relation to the
President, who Is at once q reflector
of public opinion and creator Of 1t.
Mr.. Sloan must watch his step. not
only in one respect, but in 50 many
that he needs to be highly intelligent
centipede, with exceptional command
over his motor nerves. Had he been
familiar with politics he would have
been particularly wary about Wash
ington just at this time. He knew
that President Roosevelt had last
week administered slap on the wrist
to Labor Leader Lewis, and he might
have surmised that If occasion arose
the President would next administer
balancing slap to the General Motors
side. Because he did not handle his
feet with sufficient caution, he re-
ceived not slap on the wrist, but a
sock in the eye. Within the space of
one hour the President did two things.
He told his press conference to tell the
world that he regarded Mr.. Sloan's
action as very unfortunate" and he
had Mr.. Lewis as a visitor to the White
House.
The recent developments have
brought some further light, though not
yet a conclusive light, on the central
question involved. That Is the ele-
ment Of "sit-down" in the strike, and
what America should do about this
innovation. This Is so much to the
front that nearly everybody has for
gotten what other issues there are in
the strike. This Is unfortunate be-
cause 1t muddles the situation and
precludes consideration. OF the broad
question Of General Motors labor
policies and practices and the justice
Of some complaints made against it.
Mrs. Perkins Condones Sit-Down.
On the legitimacy of the sit-down,
President Roosevelt has taken no posi-
ton. Secretary Of Labor Perkins has.
She condones it. She says General
Motors attitude is 'Iegalistic" She
appeals from the law to religion, quot
ing: Forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespasS against US"
She says that "the public interest is
more important than the private in
terest." But more than one kind Of
public interest Is involved. There Is
the public interest in ending the strike.
And there Is the public interest in
preserving the right Of private prop
erty as permanent corner stone Of
American society. Miss Perkins ap-
parently thinks the first is paramount.
Many do not agree with her, but hold
the same conviction as Mr.. Sloan.
