TIPS to
Gardeners
Start Them Indoors

TOMATO, cabbage, broccoli,
L egg plant and pepper crops
usually prove more satisfactory
when they are started indoors
from seed. The gardener thus
may use seed of a known variety
from a dependable source.
About eight weeks before plants
are to be set in open, sow seeds a
quarter-inch deep in good soil in a
regular florists fiat. Water thor
oughly but not too frequently
preferably on bright days.
Good sunlight and good air cir
culation are important in prevent
ing "damping off," Keep temper
allure fairly even at 70 to rs de-
grees. When young plants are
about one and one-half inches tall,
transplant to a larger box or cold
frame, spacing about three inches
apart.
If the plants are grown in box,
place them indoors in the shade
on six or eight mild days to hard
en- them off. When plants are set
in open soil, space them far
enough apart to allow for full de-
velopment.

YOUR front door greets your
L friends before you do. Is it
dressed to look its best? Here are
some simple rules that will be
useful in selecting the material
and style for front door curtain
ing.
Choose a fabric that looks we'll
on both sides and that harmonizes
with the outside color of your door
as we'll as with the color scheme
of the hall or room into which it
opens. A simple net curtain mate
rial or plain silk are good to use
but if your door is white on the
outside think twice before you
choose the usual ecru or pongee
color. White net or silk of a
color to match the shutters or the
trim of the house will look infinite
ly more attractive and will not be
too conspicuous. The curtains
may be made double with a diff
ferent color on the inside if need
be. Pale yellow is another color
that is always safe to use as it
gives the effect of light shining
through the door.
These curtains should be firmly
anchored both top and bottom

jury service observed that fewer
women were disqualified for lack OF
knowledge of court terms than men.
"Women are more honest than men
in admitting they don't know the
answer to a question:" he said.
Men try to guess at the answer;
women just say they don't know"
. In New York a prominent judge
explains that when women are help
ing decide court cases, the attor-
neys for both sides need to sharpen
their wits, since ladies of the jury
will not bow to emotionalism like
men. Surprising, isn't it?
Man Offers Rebuttal.
At this point, since Mr.. Husband
probably feels pretty downhearted,
it's pleasing to run into friend like
Sinclair Lewis, the novelist, who
says women are not ready to rule
America.
"Women have been too prone to
interfere with things" he says.
'"They have consistently rushed into
all sorts of reform movements and
made everyone very uncomforta-
BILE. Prohibition was a neat little
job put over by the ladies. Look
what it cost the country and the
havoc it created before the law was
annulled. We're still suffering from
the effects of it."
Although Mr.. Lewis will not find
total agreement on his prohibition
argument, most men will concur
that women are upsetting the social
applicant by demanding equal
rights. While insisting on being CIV
en- all the privileges of men, they
have not accepted the responsible
ties. That-at least-is the opinion
| of some men who politely stand up

cording to experts in the British di-
vorce courts. Men, being tougher,
are just meek second-raters. The
learned experts explain that the cru
ell streak in feminine makeup comes
out especially when the object of
their hate is another woman, prov
ing that women will never be sue
cessful in business dealings with
other women. The same experts say
that men forget more quickly. Wom-
en-, like elephants, will never rest
until they get satisfaction, if they
think they've been wronged.
The fourth point comes from testi-
mony given by the working girl
herself, an energetic young Boston
secretary who rushes home with an
armful of groceries each night.
She's housewife.
"How much does my salary really
mean to my family?" she asks. ga
good three-fourthS of it is wasted
on such expenses as maid, extra
food, luncheons, carfares, clothes,
laundry, etc. That could all be cut
out if 1 stayed home and did the
job nature fitted me for. In other
words, for about $40 week, I'm de-
priving my youngsters of their
mother when they need her most,
and working myself into a nervous
stew in the bargain"
"And anyway" grumbles her
husband, sit amt fair. The fact
that my wife and several million
other women are working keeps my
salary down. She gets home late
every night and I eat canned beans
for supper. The beds are never
made on time, the dishes are never
washed and the house looks like
shambles. If this foolishness doesn't
stop pretty soon I'm going to"
"Okay, Mister" answers the wife,
"why don't you try washing dishes
yourself now and them"
Which makes a fellow suddenly
realize that women always have,
and always will, direct the destiny
of mankind.

The World Looks Down
On Discounted Wilmer

The expression yellow streak"
epitomizes the human character
istic that is found in the person
who is unable to accept without
sobbing the ordinary misadven-
lures that are liable to overtake
anyone, or the well deserved dis
comforts that follow iIl-advised
conduct.
You hear the expression, "It
wasn't my fault" and it may be
true. But as a rule it usually is
disclosed that poor judgment,
mismanagement or carelessness
is at the bottom of the much be-
walled misfortune. In any case,
weeping and wailing are of no
avail and they do not endear you
to those with whom you come into
contact. The world looks up to
the man who can take it without
wailing.

\ MANS W0RI -?
BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

Mr.. Husband, have you ever
complained when the little wife
stayed late at bridge club and
made you fix your own dinner?
Have you ever chafed over a
stack of dirty dishes while the
Missus enjoyed vacation at
the lake?
You'd better take it and smile,
Mister, because things are look
ing bad for the Man of the
House. Woman, using her wiles
and wisdom, is getting a stran-
gle hold on the nations purse
strings and edging her way into
almost every field of activity
once marked For Men Only"
The time may come when a
struggling young business wo-
man asks the man of her choice
to love, honor and obey, to keep
house and raise the children.
All of a sudden-after it's too
late-we're realizing that Amer
lean women are in a fair way to
dictate how tomorrow's social
structure shall be formed.
Today's women hold-or expect to
inherit-70 per cent of the nations
wealth. With such a financial
weapon in their power, it is only
fair to assume that politics and in
dustry may soon be in their grasp.
Figures Are Overwhelming.
Eighty per cent of Americas
$1O4, $780, 100000 outstanding life in
Surance has been assigned to wom-
en-. Since the proud beauties aver
age a six per cent longer life than
mere man, they're in a fair way
to collect most of it. Moreover,
women constitute 40 per cent of the
100000 stockholders in American
corporations. They hold titles to 40
per cent of our homes and control
85 per cent of the national buying
power.
Once they gain a foothold in the
business world, determined women
usually succeed. The following list
of salaries paid top-fight women ex-
ecutives two years ago is far above
average, but it will make many a
male wage Garner jealous:
Sarah M. Sheridan, vice presi-
dent, the Detroit Edison company,
E $27, 1852; Edna Newton, editor, the
Condo Mast Publishing company,
E 1866; Helen Neuschaefer, secre-
tary, A. Sartorius & Co., $4,000;
Sophia R. Louttit, Providence, R. l.,
laundry company head, $4,000;
Blanche Green, president, Spencer
Corset company, S57,629, and Va
leria Bonham, president, Valeria
Homes, Inc, $4,000.
Most women workers aren't high
powered executives, but their apti-
tude for traditional mems jobs is
amazing. A CadiZ, Ohio, woman
spent % years in coal mine, and a
Minnesota woman works beside her
husband as a lumber jill'' in the
North woods.
Perhaps the most outstanding
woman today is Nine. Chang Kai-
Shek, wife of China's ruler and often
considered the real behind-the-
scenes boss of the Chinese "repub-
lic." She is in charge of air forces
in the current war with Japan and
is said to have executed several
minor officials for accepting brides.
Women in History.
And why shouldn't women take an
important role in world affairs?

in the crowded street car at night,
giving their seats to business wom-
en-. Much to their dismay, working
girls find this chivalrous custom dis
appearing.
The second point in defense of
mans continued supremacy is
tendency to pay women smaller
wages. Recent United States De-
partment of Labor surveys show
difference of from SO to 60 per cent
between mems and women's sala-
ries on the same type of jobs. Sea-
son, location and occupation seldom
alter the situation. The reason, ac-
cording to Miss Mary Elizabeth Pid-
geon, who made the study, is that
women's work has been concerned
largely with unpaid household tasks,

DEAR DORIS DENE: I am

worry over the children. I am COM
fOrtabIy well-off, my children have
grown up, my husband is dead.

My old friends criticize me for my
actions but as am extremely
young for my age and do not look
like the mother of two grown-up
children, / don't see why shouldn't
enjoy myself as / see fit. 1 don't
get along with men my own age
because they are all dull and stay
at-home. Please let me know your
opiniOn.-YOung Fifty.
ANSWER-Presum you pay
for the young mems entertainment,
and in return for that you get the
pleasure of being taken out, and of
being fiattered by the youngsters
without spending money on them. In
a case like this, nobody loses.
But in the end the middle-aged
woman who engages in a fierce
struggle to hold on to her youth,
loses a great deal. She loses the
chance to find some peace of mind
and some real companionship for
her old age. She loses the friends
of her own age who cannot sympa-
thize with her in her pursuit of
pleasure and who drop away from
her because they no longer find her
congenial.
Surrounded by sycophantic youths ,oho
are ,UiIling to make pretty speeches il
they're paid for them, she is fattered out
OF all sense OF proportion. She thinks of
herself as budding young deb, and she
shuns the society OF those ,Uhose tastes
she is more qualified to share.
No one can blame the iUonian OF fifty
for ,oanting some pleasure still in life.
But if she chooses unsuitable and unbe-
coming pleasures, she surrounds herself
Uith false friends. She attracts all those
ioho are Willing to companion her for the
sake of ,ohat they can get from her.
Too often she is an object OF ridicule
to the very people she is befriending.
Because she will not admit that she has
past her teens, she t0iH listen only to
those Uho are ioilling to soothe her uan.
ity-and naturally she doesn't find that
brand OF admirers among her true friends.
You can be young all your life.
You can keep young spirit and a
young heart. You can enjoy the
Friendship of young people. You
can make yourself beloved to young
and old with your clear mind, your
tolerance, your understanding and
interest.
But you cannot dress yourself up
In imitation of what you were at
sixteen and hope to recapture the
glamor of youth. The more you abb
sorb sycophantic f1attery into your
system the less clear your mind be-
comes. The more you insist on be-
ing fiattered, the less tolerant you
are of those who won't play up to
your vanity. The more you think
about looks and the necessity for
keeping up fiamboyantly youthful
appearance, the less interest you
have in other people and their lives.
With the result that you prepare a
lonelier old age for yourself than if
you'd accepted the fact of your fiji
ties gracefully and had chosen in
terests and occupations which would
have kept your mind active but not
jaded with artificial excitements.

Hasty Secret Marriage
SoIues No Problems,
but Makes Many.

DEAR MISS DENE: What do you
II think Of this problem: The girl
is eighteen, the boy is twenty-five.
The boy is not In a position to marry
yet although he has steady work.
The girl feels that he must marry
her soon in order that she may be
happy. The danger is that he is
very high-strung and If she turns
away from the one she loves, there
is whole crowd Of other men wait
ing to snap her up. Would it be
possible for these two young people
to marry without their parents con-
sent?-F. E. L.
ANSWER-Tell the girl that if she
wants to be happily married, she
must certainly wait until her hero
is able to support her in ordinary
comfort. However much she thinks
she can endure, herself, in the way
of poverty, she can have no idea of
what an effect the situation will
have on her husband.
No man is capable of loving a
woman Economically and tenderly if
she is a handicap to him from the
moment he marries her. However
heroically he strives to be under
standing, and just, he is bound to
feel resentful, after a while, over
the fact that he was persuaded into
matrimony when his salary was not
yet equal to the job.
Tell the boy that il his lady is so
highly strung that his opposition to mar
riage plans ,oiH send her of on Oild
parties ,0ith a CrotUd OF other fellOiOs,
then she isn't yet ready for marriage. You
can't hold fighty young thing by max
ing her repeat the marriage lines. No girl
is true to a man merely because she is
married to him. Either she cares for him
specially and above everybody else in the
,oorld-either she has loyal nature and
,UiH stick to him because Of that-or else
she is bad marriage material and it tUill
do no good to lead her to the altar in
the hope OF changing her ideas.
AS for a marriage without the
parents consent-that has never
been a practical plan of procedure.
It involves secrecy which starts
marriage off on the wrong basis. 1t
means that there will always be an
unpleasant aroma about the whole
situation. 1t causes endless compli-
cations and leads to much petty gos-
sip and suspicion.
