UnsOlved Mystery

The night before Napoleon en-
tered Moscow the great bell of the
cathedral tolled the night through,
and when the French entered the
silent city one of Napoleon's first
acts was to send company to ST.
lence the still tolling bell. The
French company, ascending to the
lofty tower, found the door to the
bell locked, and had to send again
for an ak to break it down. Just
as the door was shattered by their
blows, the mournful tolling stopped,
and entering the room, they found
it empty, the bell rope still swing
ing-and what mysterious power
kept it tolling, no one to this day
knows.

Department
AtBeach
For All
Have Consideration
For Others When
Playing Games
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If you go down to the sea this
coming Fourth of July pack your
best department and take 1t along
with you!
There is nothing quite so char
acter-robbing as to see a girl mis-
behave on the beach. You're to
have fun, yes, lots of it. You can
swim, sun battle, play beach games.
But there are several things which
you should not do if you do not
wish to be criticized.
Remember that the beach is not
the place for a private necking
party You've seen couples inter
tWlned on the sand, lolling all over
Ol-e another or actually embracing.
That's the height of bad taste, and
nice girls wouldn't be seen in such
situations.
1t is all we'll and good to play ball
and other beach games, but you
must consider others who are less
active than yourself. Choose a spot
where no people are taking a sun
bath or eating their lunch. You
wouldn't want to eat sanu with a ham
and cheese, and neither do they!
Screaming disturbs peaceful slum-
| bers, and as far as you know the
| browsing person might be at the
beach for health and needs what
rest he or she can get.
Try TO remember that bathing
suits have habit of pulling up.
Keep EN- down! For creeping suits
are targets for candid cameras, and
if you could see yourself from the
rear you would know why! Speak
ing about swim suits, take care that
your upper half is covered ade-
quately.
1t is not very feminine to push a
man about the beach, to kick him
or TO aid in duCking a companion
who does not wish to go into the
| water
If you lunch by the water be neat
about it. Your sandwich Wrappings
/ and other lunch waste scattered
about detract from the pleasure of
others. You should have the de-
cency to pick up after your meal
and put the trash in the places
( provided for it. Every beach has
them. Leave your portion of the
shore in as good condition as you
found it, or slightly improved!
And don't shake out your
towels beach robes, etc, in other
/ peoples faces. Pick them up and
carry them to a spot where shaking
and wind will not carry the sand
in directions of others Down by
the water is usually a safe bet.
Now that I have given you the
"don'ts' of good beach behavior let
me say DO have a good time and
acquire a lot of health! Take care
of your skin, your hair, your eyes
and come back at the end of the
day with spirits bubbling over with
out the least bit of roget for having
spent the day under the sun!

Dorothy Dix Says
Dissatisfied Wife May Find Fault
Is Her Own After Self.Analysis

Listen, wives! Do you ever think
that you may be largely responsible
for the faults in your husbands to
which YOU most object? There is
his taking YOU for granted, for in
stance, which is perhaps the No.
grievance of married women. Your
husband has ceased to be a lover
He never pays you compliment
He never notices what you have on
He never gives you kiss except one
that IS so fiabby that it is more of
an insult than it is a caress. Good
ness knows, you never expected
marriage to be like that.
Well, stop your breast beating long
enough to get line on your own
conduct. Perhaps you are Access
sorry to the crime of your marriage
going fiat. If your husband is no
longer lover have you kept on
being Lady Love yourself? Have
YOU dressed yourself up for him and
kept yourself looking attractive? Or
have you felt that any old rag was
good enough to SLOUGH around home
in?
Have you met him when he came
home at night with a glad. sweet
smile or a crouch? Have you given
him the rim of your ear or the back
Of your head instead of your lips
when he tried to kiss you? Lots of
men quit making love to their wives
because their wives treat them as
if they were cash registers instead
of Romeos.

streets, the wagon bearing the food

nights, he clop-clopped crisply over
parched asphalt. to keep, unfaillng-
~, that matutinal appointment that
meant so much TO young and old
alike, then sleeping peacefully in
cool, soft beds. He knew his route
as well as a postman; although the
inmates of each house he served
were, Tor the most part, unrevealed
shadows to him, he stopped I'M
errlngly at every door that was his
to care for.
His driver depended on him: re-
garded him as friend. In the lone
ly hours, no doubt there was that
communion and understanding be-
tween horse and man that only
those who work together away from
the busy crowds can ever know. If
the man. exhausted, cold or i'll, was
unable to fulfill his mission. the
horse would know. and in some Wav
get him safely home. and educate"
a substitute in the mysteries of his
route.
Oh. there was reason for the
passing of the milk mans horse.
Just as there was for the passing OF
the noble and picturesque beast that
drew the fire engines The dairy
companies found that many of their
horses were growing old: soon they
would have to be replaced with
new. fresh animals. Expenses for
keeping horses was high. Traffic
had attained heights where the &C
cldents to horse drawn vehicles had
become a particularly serious and
cruel problem. The machine ape
was encroaching, surely but steadily.
and claiming the milk route for its
own.
But worst Of all. the people that
the horses had so faithfully served
had much to do with their going
They complained that the ring OF
iron shod hoofs on city streets woke
them at night. The dairy companies
tried, even then. They put rubber
shoes on the horses. but they wore
them out almost at once. and clop-
chopped merrllv once more. So
there was nothing more to be done.
There probably were some blurred
eyes. and choked voices when the
time came to say goodbye for
no man is ashamed to show grief
at parting from a true and loyal
friend. And it must be awfully lone
some in the dark hours before dawn
with nothing but mess of machin-
cry to talk to-and to depend upon.
And I suppose it's better for the
horses. whose legs were never meant
for city streets And whose lungs
were tortured by the acrid exhaust
gases. But I sometimes wonder if,
standing proSaically somewhere in
stall, they suddenly raise their
heads at certain magic hour and
whinny-softly, to the driver who
never comes?
l wonder?

downtown. That's bad, of course.
But is your home a place of peace
and rest and quiet, where a tired
man can relax and gather up
strength for the next day? Or is it a
place Of nagging and fretting and
whining that he fees from to save
his life? Do you sit him down to a
good dinner of the things he likes
and cooked the way he likes EN-, or
to a meal that adds indigestion to
his other troubles?
What sort of entertainment do
you offer him? Are you bright and
chatty and amusing? Or do you ex-
pect him TO be diverted by listen
ing TO your complaints about how
hard you have worked, and how
butcher meat has gone up. and that
the doctor says little Mary's ade-
noids must come out. and that the
baby broke his best pipe, and so on
and on?
Maybe your pet peeve is that your
husband doesn't take you out STEP
ping once in blue moon. You
think that it is just terrible that he
doesn't realize how monotonous
housework is and how dull it is
spending the day with no one but
the baby for company, and how YOU
long to get out in the bright lights
Tor a change. But what encourage
ment 40 you give him to spend his
money on trying to give you a good
time? Do you play up to him and
look and act thrilled as YOU did
when you had a date with him be-
fore you were married? Or do YOU
find fault with everything he does?
Another one of your grievances is
that your husband doesn't talk at
home, that he buries himself behind
his paper of an evening and is lust
about as entertaining a companion
as craven image would be. Maybe
he is afraid to talk. Maybe he has
found out that the only safe thing
Is silence and that he can't breach
any subject without starting a fight.
Maybe if he tries to tell story YOU
tell him that you have heard that
before. Maybe you correct every
statement he makes and say that
the instance he is relating didn't
happen at 5 o'clock, it took place at
4;59. Maybe when he tries to tell
you about his hopes and plans YOU
don't even listen to him, and so he
just shuts up like clam when he
is at home.
And perhaps, though you will
never admit it, you are even respon-
sible sometimes for your husband S
philandering. You don't show him
any affection. You won't play with
him. You won't give him the flattery
that you know he is hungry for.
You don't do anything to try to
amuse and entertain him. And so
he hunts up some woman who will
All of which sums up into saying
that, to large extent, every woman
makes her husband the husband
he is. DOROTHY DIX.

Il don't know about this. You get

Such talk ought not to worry
mothers but it does, and the young
rascal knows it will. He counts on
stirring up enough anxiety to get his
way. This lad will take the money
for the baseball and go his way re-
jolcing in the thought that he knew
how to get around his mother. When
he wants the next thing, which will
be right soon, he will return with the
same selfish, demanding behavior,
and win again Unless his mother
ewakens to what is happening.
The demanding child worms his
way into the family scheme before
he is noticed. Once set in his way 1t
is difficult to dislodge him, but it can
be done. Give him his allowance,
one YOU believe suited to his needs
and to the state of the family bud
get Set his share of family respon-
sibihty, considering his ability, not
his wishes Give him what he should
have as his share always, but no
more no matter how he complains.
His complaints are his weapons.
Render them poWerless by ignoring
them.
When this sort of child says he
will run away tell him calmly that
he will find the door open, both
ways. Don't look worried. Don't
give him the idea that you thought
his threat important. After telling
him that the door is wide open, at
tend to something else and let him
find himself stranded for attention
and conversation. He is not likely to
run away. Demanding, selfish chill
dren like the comfort of home too
well If they do take an excursion
it is with one foot on the home base.
The daughter of the family is
likely to do this if inclined that way.
Girls can be quite as tyrannical as
boys. and can be Just as selfish If
mothers decide at the start that each
child as he came along would have
to carry his full share of the home
life and stuck to it, these demand
ing children would not get as far as
they sometimes do Unselfsh moth
ers are too likely to create selfish
children.
But it is not always the fault of
the parents. Some children come
that way. They have to be corrected,
held to the line of family custom,
until they learn their place in the
scheme of things They will never
learn it if they are not checked
early.
