There Are Many Reasons Why Mothers
Like Married Daughters.

likewise losing our SevereSt critic, and
that henceforth there will be no one
to tell us just how poor our taste Is
and what fossils we are, for nothing
else on earth equals the cruel candor
with which a daughter speaks her
mind to mother. And we realize with a
throb Of dissimulated Joy that when
Mamie marries we are getting back
our homes that We can run as we
please and decorate as we like, and
that we can have our coffee with our
meals without trembling with fear of
what Mamie is going to say and do.
"Of course, our daughters don't
mean to tyrannize over us, and when
they seek to make us change our
standards Of conduct for some college
professors, and move out of our COM
Portable old home into an arty apart
ment, where you couldn't swing a cat
without dashing out its brains, it is
for our own good. 1t is because they
are so much easier than we are and
know so much more about life than
we do. Still and all, being elevated
to the higher level is a painful process
and there Is nothing more wearing
than to have to live up to a superior
child.
nF COURSE, when we are middle
aged We still have strength and
pep enough to put up some sort of
hight against our oppresSors. That is
why mothers and daughters are nearly
always in a francas that never ends
until Mamie and Sadie get married.
1t Is the old mothers, who are helpless
to defend themselves, who are the real
victims of their single daughters. It
Is because mothers know Of the fate
that awaits them If their daughters
don't get married that makes them so
afraid of their girls being old maids.
"The better the daughter, the worse
she is. The more devoted she is,
the crueler she treats mother.
"Now We mothers are not unappre-
ciative of our daughters nor of the
affection that motivates their bossi-
ness, but We have the natural human
craving for liberty and the right to
live our own lives, and that we can
never have as long as we have Q
daughter in the house."

country, where women are noted for
having the best-dressed feet in the
world, shoes are always important.
Being designed even further in ad-
vance than costumes, they actually
appear in our shops about two weeks
before we get our cabled reports of the
Paris coutourier openings. s. there
is one phase Of the new styles that
we do not have to be in doubt about,
but may plunge right in and make our
smart selections at once.
To quote a speaker at style show
Of shoes in Philadelphia last week:
"Gabardine will steal the show this
Spring, for women are realizing the
perfection of gabardine. This fabric
now stands up we'll and lends GOODNESS
as well as comfort to shoe. Patent
leather will also be more important
than it has been in the last few years. p"
The varied combinations Of gabardine
and patent leather are particularly
effective and are noted among the
collections in all price lines. The Won
derfully comfortable suede continues
in popular favor in Spring shoes and
is especially good in colors, as this
leather dyes beautifully. Kid and
calf remain the standbys for the more
conservative types of walking and
sports shoes.

TINE best thing about sports frocks
such as this one is that they
are equally right on the tennis
court and on the street So
even housewife and a schoolgirl will
find this a useful thing to slip into
when warm weather threatens. The
yoke and lapels give it a suggestion of
shirtwaister. A neat buttoned pocket
will prove useful for little things such
as change and powder puff. Button
ing down the front, it can be unbut-
toned part way for strenuous sports.
Shorts are even in order, and the dress
can be thrown on when tennis or
housework demand it!

My Neighbor Says:

When hanging pictures re-
member that the center of the
picture should be on the level
with the eyes. If you are unusu-
ally tall this rule does not hold
good.
Every cook knows how impor-
tant it is to have the knives
sharp and unblemished, but it Is
not always easy to keep them so.
A small hanging rack of wood
with hooks on which to hang six
or seven knives of varying sizes,
so that the knives are always
kept in an erect position, may
be purchased in the larger hard
ware stores.
When boiling preserved eggs, a
small hole should be made in the
shell with pin at the large end
before placing them in water.
This allows the air in the egg to
escape when heated and will pre-
vent cracking.

The rush was caused by three
things, the judiciary hearings, the
La Toilette hearings and the D. A.

$4,000 PER FOX!
The fox hounds are marvellous,
and their excitement before the
move-off is something to behold.
Farmers and other people have
come from near and far just to
watch the hunt in action.
The farmers are most cooper
alive, for although they could
easily handle the fox problem in
their own way and much more
effectively. too, they give every
aid to the hunt and seem delighted
when the hounds pick up the
scent and lead the gallop onto
their acres.
The riders move off across
fields, sometimes down a village
street, over stone walls, over
brooks and fences, and it takes
a stout rider to get through the
run without a mishap. Many
famous followers of the chase re-
count with pride their accidents
and injuries and one and all de-
clare that such things don't mat
ter, so long as their nerves hold
out.
Many of the London newspapers
devote regular columns to the
hunt, and these are eagerly read
by some who have never ridden.
But a sport that requires an un-
usual expenditure Of about $780,,
100000 deserves to be treated
with respect. It has been esti'
mated that it costs approximately
$4,000 to kill each fox. Maybe
even the fox is proud OF all this!

Why Not April 80?
ByJ. T. Williams, J.

HArmy Day to April 80 the house.
hold of the Nation would find a
welcome significance in that date,
1t would signify the day On
which the First Citizen of the
Republic was elevated to the dual
responsibility Of Chief Executive
and Commander-in-C Chief Of the
Common Defense. The Common
Defense consists not only of the
Army and Navy but also of all
able-bodied citizens capable of
performing military service. All
are subject to the call Of the Con-
gresS. All are obligated to prepare
themselves for that call. And
when called to the colors all are
under the supreme command of
the President.
This is as true today as it was
on April 80 hundred and forty
eight years ago when Washington
was first inaugurated.
This impressive ceremony-the
first Inauguration of the first
President and the first Command
erin Chief of the Army and Navy
took place in the City Of New
York. The exact spot in wall
Street where Washington took the
oath is now marked by Wards
Statue Of The Father Of His Coun-
try. The oath was administered
by Chancellor Livingston as he
stood beside Washington on the
balcony of what was then Federal
Hall.
Having taken the oath the Presi-
dent then led the way indoors and
read to the assembled Congress his
Inaugural Address. The same pro-
cedure is still followed-weather
permitting. The President takes
the oath out of doors "in the pres
ence Of q great crowd" assembled
before the East Front of the
Capitol, the cornerstone Of which
was laid by Washington. Then
follows the Inaugural Address.
STRONG SENTIMENT
Thirty years ago there was
strong sentiment in favor Of
changing Inauguration day from
March 4 to April 30th when the
weather in the Federal City is
better suited to outdoor celebra-
tions. Several proposed Constitu-
tional Amendments providing for
such change were offered in Con-
gress and debated for years.
Recently the Inauguration day
was changed from March 4 to
January goth. And now there is
an agitation in favor of spending
millions of dollars to provide an
auditorium large enough to hold
thousands Of people and protect
them against bad weather during
the inaugural ceremony.
If the veterans of all our wars
will go to the support of the move
ment, Army Day can be changed
in time to permit its celebration
next year on the anniversary of
the first Inauguration of the first
President and the first Com
mander-in- Chief. And the EN-.
phasis can be placed upon defense
against aggression and thereby di-
vorce Army Day from connection
with the commencement Of any
| war.
The Washington times., 1937-04-26

Among our Defenders with the
Colors there is a growing sentiment
in favor of celebrating Army Day
every year on April 3oth-the ami
verSary Of the first Inauguration OF
George washington as President
Of the United States and Com
mander-in-C Chief Of the Army and
Navy.
This anniversary has been So
lected as the closing day two years
hence Of the Sesqui-C Centennial
Celebration of the adoption Of the
Federal Constitution. But usually
the anniversary Of Washington'S
first inauguration goes By without
any observance.
Changing Army Day from April
9Th to April 30th would give to
the latter day the place 1t deserves
in the national calendar of Amer
lean patriotism. So runs the argu-
nent in favor of the proposed
change.
STRONGER APPEAL
There are other reasons why it
Is believed that the observance Of
Army Day on April 30th would
make q stronger appeal to Public
Sentiment than has the celebra-
ton of April 6th-the anniversary
of the entrance Of the United
States into the Great War.
There is really no more reason
why April 9Th should have been
selected than April 19th-the an
niverSary Of Lexington and Con-
cord. The War Of the Revolution
gave to the American people indie
pendence as a Nation. They have
won no such boon from their
participation in the Great War.
It's legacy to date is not Of q
nature to fire enthusiasm for tax
ing part in the next Old World
war.
Celebrating Army Day on the
anniversary Of the entrance Of the
United States into the Great War
has led to considerable miSunder-
standing on the part of many
people. They seem to labor under
the hallucination that the Army
Is eager to take part in another
Great War and has therefore
selected that day as a suitable
occasion on which to call atten'
ton to the Arn1y'S readiness for
another war.
AS a matter Of fact, Army Day
was inaugurated. not by the Army
but by an organization of Veterans
the Military Order of the World
War. The observance of one day
in the year in honor Of the Army
is designed to foster the ideals of
the American Army land to bring
to the people of the country a
clearer, more intelligent, and more
sympathetic understanding of our
land forces" in times of peace and
in times Of national emergency,
April 9Th was doubtless selected
by this organization as Army Day
because its members were veterans
of the World War that commenced
on that date. These veterans are
passing rapidly from the active
list of the Army.
