Dorothy Dix Says
AS a Rule Children Pay Big Dividends
in Happiness to Parents.

40 MUCH has been said about
bonuses being paid for babies
in several continental countries
~ that it has moved a CORE
spondent to ask me what I think of
children as an investment. and if they
pay big enough dividends in happiness
to their parents to make them worth
all of the suffering and anxiety and
work and worry they cost.
Well, there is no denying that chill
dren are more or less of a gamble and
there is no absolutely certain way of
telling how they are going to turn out.
No matter how much Judgment you
use in selecting their mother or father,
how carefully you pick out their
grandparents, nor how hard you labor
to make a success of them, they may
be losing venture that will bankrupt
you in heart and purse. But on the
contrary, the flier that you take in an
infant that doesn't look worth keep
ing, may bring you fame and honor
and make you rich beyond the dreams
of avarice. There is no sure thing in
babies any more than there is in the
stock market. but for the long pull
Children Preferred is a conservative
risk that can be recommended.
This is true whether you regard
children as slaves or as toys; as topic
of conversation, as a preventive of
boredom, as an old-age insurance. For
on each of these counts children
pay 100 per cent on the dollar, hence
may be regarded as gilt-edge invest
ments.
THAT children are easy money to
lazy and greedy parents we all
know The scandal of child labor is
ever with us. We see constituencies
fathers and mothers feeding their
babies to machines and growing fat
on the money earned by little hands.
And we are all personally acquainted
with men and women who knock off
and never do another days labor after
their children are old enough to take
out their working papers.
They take the thin pay envelope OF
frail girls and boys and live upon
their earnings. 1t doesn't take an
expert accountant to figure out the
percentage Of profit there is in chill
dren who have to support their IA
theirs and mothers for forty years in
return for the ten or fifteen years Of
food and clothing they received.
AS topic of conversation children
are worth their weight in gold. Half
the middle-aged men and women in
the world would be dumb if heaven
had not mercifully provided them
with an exhaustless theme upon
which to discourse in their offspring
AS long as they can tell about the
baby cutting a tooth, or repeat little
Johnny's witticisms, or boast of the
number of dates that Mary has they
have all the equipment for being
monologists and never know a silent
moment.
The amusement value of children
has never been properly estimated tn

Makeup
For Broad
Dayli t
Rouge and Pow d er
Should Be Applied
to Look Natural.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THESE bright, sunny days make
exacting demands Of your make
up. 1t isn't precisely right, If the
powder is the wrong shade, the rouge
improperly applied, If there is even
teeny weeny imperfection the sun
will show it, because the sun has
magnifying powers.
1t tells tales-that bright light Of
the sun-so youTl have to be particu-
larly careful
The first rule: If you are apply
ing your makeup for appearance IN
daylight. be sure that the light by
which it is applied Is daylight is
major mistake to apply makeup
under the electric light and then
venture out in the sunshine II the
makeup has been applied under a
very bright artificial light it NAV
seem drab in the sunshine But this
doesn't happen very often. AS a rule
artificial light is less intense than
daylight and makeup applied Un-
der artificial light looks positively
garish in the sunshine Remember,
then, TO apply your makeup BY the
same type Of light that you plan to
appear in. FaStidious women now
have their dressing tables 50 placed
that it is either in front of or near
enough to a window to receive the
full benefit Of broad daylight
Another important rule, Of course, IS
the choice Of makeup shades Pow
der that is too light or too pink or
too yellow will look very conspicuously
off-color in the sunlight. Rouge that
is purple viii make you look drab,
rouge that is too bright will stand
out like sore thumb Even lip
stick, the brilliant shades are smart,
but those on the very vivid slde look
much too obviously artificial in the
sunshine. They should be saved for
evening wear.
Then. the actual application "a
skilled, deft hand is necessary. Blend
ing is the way to achieve makeup
perfection-no hard edges outlining
the rouge, no patches Of powder, no
smudges on the lips
Cream rouge is most satisfactory
If sure hand blends tit looks
natural, soft. smooth Two shades
Of powder instead Of one make more
perfect picture and the little powder
brushes to remove excess are justly
popular. The newest way to apply
lipStick is to outline with a lip pencil
then deftly fill in and smooth excess
away with fngertip. Smart screen
stars use little eyelash grower
(colorless) on lashes for daytime
mascara for evening only; and a little
oil on lids CshadoW for evening" to
catch the sunheams and make them

him in to get ready for his evening
meal she found him busy tillIng his
little wagon with gravel. eS, it was

The scratch on the prancng lion that

Why, Lynn, isn't that your old

It's not an old wagon. It's my own

it is"
How did you get it baCk?"

But Lynn, I gave it to him."
You couldn't give it to him cause
1t was my wagon. And I took it home

That was naughty of you, SON"

my wagon to him. don't take his

wagon. That's what it is" A Lynn
piled the gravel still higher
I'm sure I don't know what to do
I gave htIn that wagon and now"
He can have the new one out Of
the store that his mother can buy for
him when she goes downtown. Like
you said you would buy one for me
He wants new wagon. Ding, dong,

When mother laid her perpleXing

laughed. He surely had the right to

kid new wagon and let it at that
We can't give away what doesn't be-
long to US. Lynn is right. You made
mistake, and you'll just have to
make the best of it."
Did you ever give away anything
that belonged to a child? If you did
you made a mistake Children cling
to their possessions. They have a keen
sense of ownership. 1t is best to cub
tivate that wisely so that the Young
ster learns to respect the property of
others as much as he wants them to
respect his Don't even use h things
without asking permission, much less
give them away
And viii! We are talking about it,
secrets are not to be given away,
either. That is a form of disloyalty
that children find hard to understand
or forgive. Keep your child's secrets.
Don't tell them to friends to win their
sympathy or their laughter. It is Civ

is betraying a trust that, once lost,
can never be restored to you.

ttCT HCChO.
THERE'S one occasion when con-
versa ton on the dance floor is
bad form. At least it's uncomfortable
form. And that's when your partner
is about twice your height. The man
develops red spots under his chin
where his collar rubs him, and the
girl gets crick in her neck.
The trouble is that neither one,
usually, has sense enough to say SIM
ply. Sorry, but you're too far away
for me to hear you. Let's do our talk
ing later" That would solve every
thing, and the dance would probably
be swell.
Perhaps a short girl should take
no chances. Perhaps she should get
into the habit of sizing up her prospec-
tive dance partners before she accepts
the dance. When one comes along who
is above conversational heights for
.aer, she could accept the dance only
on a no-talking basis. The men will
adore her for it. In fact, probably
her main trouble will be that all the
tall men in the place will start cluster

DIVIDEND TALKED
FOR j. s. STEEL
Resumption on Common in
"Not Very Distant Fu-
ture" Hinted.
By the Associated Press.


HOBOKEN, N. j., April 5.-Possi-
bility of resumption of common divi-
dends in the mot very distant future"
was foreshadowed in remarks by
Myron c. Taylor, chairman of United
States Steel, to stockholders at the
annual meeting today.
Taylor said it was his greatest de-
sire that I'VE shall in some way in the
not very distant future be able to re-
ward you stockholders in way which
your patience justifies"
In talk to reporters following the
meeting, Taylor declined to amplify
his statement. The last dividend on
the common was so cents, paid in
March, 1882
Earlier the chairman had told
stockholders the corporations opera
tions had advanced to 81 per cent Of
capacity from a depression low Of 1873
per cent.
He said, "As to the future of course,
would not care to prophesy. l can
recall in the past, however, when .

of capacity gave us great satisfaction"
Il recall mentioning at the annual
meeting in 1885 that consumption OF
steel per capita in the United States
in 1882 was 252 pounds. At that time
I said there was no sound reason why
We should not again reach a total
of from 800 to 900 pounds per capita.
Last year production was 8l0 pounds
per capita and at present the rate is
$50 pounds per capita"
Taylor reviewed progress of the cor
poration during the past nine years.
He cited reduction Of funded debt, the
absorption of younger blood into the
management and efforts to readjust
production and distribution most eco
nomically.
After a discussion of wage, tax and
profit problems, he said, in conclusion
the best single formula I could evolve
in the several relationships between
workers, owner and the public is that
which will induce the largest produc-
ton at prices within the range OF the
purchasing power Of the community
and at the same time provide adequate
real wages to workers, management
and owners of the property"
Directors were reelected.
