If you hang an Indian drum in
the recreation room it will offer fun
for your guests and add color to the
room. The drums are made OF thin
animal skin held In place by wooden
strips. Painted Indian heads and

green and eggshell. One side is left
unfinished so the case can easily
be fitted over the pillows. Purchase
several Of these in different shades
to "dressup" the couch this sea-
son. -.
Have you seen the rubber balls es-
pecially designed to keep one from
snoring? 1t is said that snoring IS
most frequent when one is lying on
his back, so it may be eliminated
by simply clipping this gadget to
the back of the night clothes by
means of tape and pin. When the
sleeper turns over to snoring posi-
tion, landing on this device, he is
awakened by its warning signal.
Slightly Rube Goldberg-ish, but
worth try. -.
At your next party serve hand
decorated sugar Jumps. They are
very dainty and come in packages
OF assorted designs or, If you prefer,
you can secure all in one type of
flower. -.
Miniature lamps, irons, cooking
utensils, ashtrays, lawnmowers and
cleaning equipment may be found
for your daughters doll house. The
articles are so attractive that they're
also cute on your what-not stand. {.
The latest innovation in cigarette
lighters is miniature Army tank
made by well-known firm. The
felt pads on the bottom will keep
it from scratching the table or desk
and it is so heavy it also may be
used as a paper weight. Green or
brown are the colors. q
A fabrication kit for your electric
razor is a necessity. The imitation
suede case contains oil, grease and
several brushes. =.
A tobacco humidor and matching
lighter covered with brown and
white calfskin are very unusual
and would be smart for an office
desk.

Dorothy Dix Says 80
Square Deal Promise Is Essential
For Happiness in Married Life

an allowance to run the house on.
They never give them a penny OF
their own. They dole them out their
food and clothes, and make them
come like beggars for every cent they
get. No wonder women resent this
attitude on their husbands part. No
wonder they rebel at its injustice
and come to hate the men who, they
feel, are defrauding them OF the
price of their labors.
And why shouldn't husbands share
equally with their wives in the re-
sponsibility of rearing their children?
Why isn't a father as much father
as mother is a mother? Why
shouldn't he stay at home sometimes
of an evening and take care of the
babies and let her go out and get
a little rest and recreation, instead
of his faring forth every night as
soon as he gets his dinner, leaving
her with the kiddies?
AS a matter of fact the modern
marriage can only survive on the
$3.50 platform, and the next time
they revise the marriage ceremony
they should put in it: DO YOU
solemnly promise to give this man
or this woman square deal?"

tains should I use? have maroon
sofa. a green lounge chair and a
gold bareback chair. The rest OF
the furniture is maple. MY rug is a
hook-rug design with manv colors.
What color draperies should I use?
I prefer them with design. The
woodwork at present is dark cream.
but we wish to paint 1t ivory. Ihe
doors are very dark varnish, which
we would also like to paint. What
kind of paint should we use and how
should we do the doors? Could we
use the same paint on kitchen cup
boards? Do you know of a good up
holstery cleaner? = Mrs. L. M.
Answer - Suggest that you use
stripes for your draperies or design
either larger or smaller than the de-
sign in your rug, so that they will
not be in competition. Try to COM
bine the colors in your room in your
draperies so that they will all pull
together" You might use sill-length
glass curtains, but it would give the
room better proportions if you carry
the draperies to the floor. Use a
good semi-gloss enamel for your
woodwork.
The same will do for the doors, if
you use a sealer or undercoat first.
for it is very difficult to get a good
paint job on top of shiny varnish
unless you use some method of cut
ting the glaze. The same paint will
be excellent for the cupboards in
the kitchen. Most of the upholstery

The thing that is chiefly the mat
Ter with matrimony is that 1t is a
partnership in which both man
and woman invest everything they
have and are, but in which only
too often one or the other man
ages to monopolize all of the power
and graft and perquisiteS, while the
other is left with the bag to hold,
80 to speak. And it is this ranking
sense of injustice, this fury at be-
ing made the family goat, this re-
bellion at being tyranniZed over that
kills love and puts husbands ana
wives in a constant state OF an
tagonism against each other, ana
fills the world with the sound OF
the rending and breaking OF mar
riage bonds. 1t is curious that
among all the remedies that have
been offered for the prevention OF
divorce. and as a panacea for all OF
the domestic ills that beset us. the
plan of the husband and wife go
ing $3.50 is seldom suggested, yet
It is the only one that will work
In these days when we have no more
Patient Griseldas among women,
nor Jobs among men. Perhaps IL
is because we are too selfish. TOO
greedy, too fond of boSSing, to apply
this cure-all to our domestic trou-
bles, but there is literally never
situation in which it would not work.
For one thing. if every bride and
BRIDEGROOM started off with a settled
determination to run their household
on a $3.50 basis, it would save those
first few years of strife IN Whlch
each of them struggles for suprem-
ecv in the family and which leaves
them both standing on hattlellelo
where the finest flower of their love
has been killed.
How peacefully they might settle
the matters in which the huSnano 5
word was to be the law, and the
others about which the wife was to
have the say-so! And what DICK
erings and Quarrels 1t would pre-
vent if each would concede to the
other the right to enjoy his or her
little personal peculiarltles, without
pickering or nagglng.
For. after all what business is
It of a mans to determine the length
of his wife's skirt, or whether she
shall bob her hair or not, or use
cosmetics? And what right has a
woman to try to keep her husband
from smoking, or to worry the LIE
out of him about the color OF MS
ties?
And there is the money question
over which most husbands and wives
fight from the altar to the grave.
There is no possible way that that
can be settled except on the 5O-5o
basis.
The woman who does her duty as
O. wife and mother who works just
as hard as her husband does, WhC
pinches every nickel closer than ne
does. who denies herself more things
she wants than he does, justly feels
that she has a right to her share
of the family income, and that i
should be paid her without quibbl'
or question as her fair part OF th'
profits of the domestic partnership

Bv Leffice Lee Street,

By Leffice Lee Street,
With beaming faces the two wom-
en- watched Bobby's small figure
trudging down the path.
Hes such a dear little chap"
purred the visitor, "he is so good.
I've never seen such perfect child"
The mother smiled her satisfac-
ton. Eyes, he really is an angel"
she agreed.
While they were discussing him.
Bobby wandered aimlessly toward
group of boys playing in the next
yard Grinning sheepishly, he half
raised his hand to wave, and called
out timidly, Hello"
No one answered or even looked
around. and after Bobby had been
swinging on the fence for some mo-
mentS wistfully watching the game,
one of the boys wheeled suddenly on
his heel and threw a precisely aimed
Wad of wet newspaper squarely at
BobbyS chest. The dirty water
trickled down Bobby's clean shirt
| front.
Yah! Yah!" hooted the boy who
had made such good shot, go and
show that to your mother, you
| goody-goody sissy pants"
What should Bobby have done?
He should have climbed that fence
and given that boy the blacklist
eye that his outraged young fist
could deliver. But he did not; in
stead he smiled and walked away
accompanied by the raucous yells of
the other boys.
No one likes a goody-goody. We
instinctivelv distrust them. and with
good reason. ANY one, man or boy,
who will never fight bacl- and who
habitually conceals his normal i'm
/ pulses of anger, contrarineSs and
strong self-opinion under slick
veneer Of smiling self-depreciation
and noncompliance is very apt to
give vent to these feeling in
treacherous covert ways.
The child whose behavior is over

of spirit should be seriously sought.
Goody-goodiness is almost invariably
indicative of repression, defeat. lack
of Self-confldence and resentment
toward others or toward circum-
stances. These are exceedingly I'M
healthy feelings. and may easily be-
come the poisonous roots that will

personality and may force him to
sink through life as smirking
hypocrite begging for crumbs OF
favor, ashamed to look his own re-
f1ection in the eye.
To win friends and to be able to
stride forward through the years
we need faith in our own abilities,
the confidence that We can defend
our dignity and that we will receive
respect from others. Children i'm
mediately sense the lack of these
qualities in other children, and being
the heartless little bullies they some-
times are, they will torment and take
advantage of the playmate who can
not stand up for himself.

should be shown that he must fight

and the first day that he comes

But as with all behavior problems,
the parents should not overem-
'phasize the situation. However. they
should casually make it clear to the
child that they expect him to pro-
tect himself. Once he can find
the courage to do so he will have
taken that first difficult step toward
ultimate victory against his own
defeat, and simultaneously other
children will seek him, not shun
him.

Ten years before a highway

Those ferry connections were
so slow, however, that motor
travel was negligible.
After the hurricane the Public
Works Administration came for
ward with $3.6OO,OOO TO bridge

highway. The Florida East Coast
Railway received 100000 for It's

The highway was opened three
years ago, the loan to be ioui-

tourist gold coursing through
the old trade channels, Key
West began to come out of its
slump. The morale of its people
improved. In 1910 the popula-
ton increased to 1880. Hotels
were modernized. Night clubs
were opened TO draw winter viSi-
tors. Elaborate deep-sea fishing
camps sprang up along the Keys.
Private building permits reach
ed $959,975 last year. compared
with $179,800 in 1899. Travel

The renewal of naval activities
was like another stimulus to the

Two contracts totaling more than
81 10000 have been awarded for

q British scientists are ponder
ing the possibility of developing
wartime motor and industrial
fuels from methane, known in
coal mining as fire damp" and
in sewage disposal undertakings
as "sludge gas. Already me-
thane is being used as industrial
fuel at some colIeries, and sew
eral municipal sewage disposal
plants ar utilizing it for motor
fuel A large potential source
of supply has been found in coke
ovens and gas works.
1t is proposed to collect or to
generate the gas, iquefy it, and
store it in steel cylinders for
attaching to motors. For motor
vehicles the steel cylinders would
be insulated to maintain the low
temperature necessary to pre-
serve liquefaction. 10 Ian
! Automotive engineers suggest
that such utilization of methane
fuel would permit of the develop
ment of much greater power in
motors having compression ra-
tics about three times those new
employed. Flower production and
mileage are said to be compar-
able with those on liquid fuels.
