A Question OF Spirit
By FRANK r. KENT
Washington, April 1

Washington, April 10.
The dark turn which the war abroad
has taken, in general, and, in particu-
lar, the desperate fight the British are
making for their existence, ought to
put this nation in very sober frame
of mind. 1t seems too clear to dispute
that if the Germans succeed, ours will
be an exceedingly painful situation,
not free from peril. - 4f

recapitulate their dreams and deeds.
remember April mud. That was
before we had paved streets. l can
remember the rickety sidewalks, when
often loose board would slap pc
destrian in the face or injure him as
his leg would go plunging through
the opening. remember the swirls Of
dust at Second and Liberty.
Along with this mud and dust we
had saloons, and around each saloon
lowered one of the 'jinh's of melo-
drama" Now we have paved streets,
parked cars, and heavy traffic at in
tersections. Along with this we have
the noise of motor and horn. We have
with all this Improvement lost our
erectness, because we lounge in our
cars and in our homes; comfort is eat
ing our flesh, and dulling our eyes. In
spite of fool-proof sidewalks we avoid
walking whenever possible.
To be sure the saloon is gone, AMI
all its pathos and melodrama. But
what have we now roadside taverns
that are eating the heart out of our
youth.
Mud or stone, both are symbols of
traffic, both of yesterday and today
Saloons and taverns, these, too, are
symbols of human concourse, hungry
for companionship and love. The town
is composite of big and little dreams
lowering above us as the uncertain
sky. When thunder comes the air is
purified. And the sunshine thai
makes body and soul burst into bud.
Daily we walk too dangerously neal
the margin of tragedy because WI
commerce with one another on to,
low a level. We have it in us to rist
above the gutter and the mud. We can
practice friendship and neighborli
ness in our leisure, and companion on
with another on some forgotten trail
| This very hour lover and his lass ar
walking hand in hand. He espies
violet, plucks it for her as a swee
keepsake, and the heart with all it
invincible wisdom comes back into tn
world.

seems to be that the winds of the war
abroad have blown a good thing our
way-and that the benefits ought to
be divided.
Too many people are inclined to
take that view; to believe, as one
writer put it, that "we have found in
all this peril a good thing a honey
of a war, a unemployment prospect
de luxe" Even some of our national
political leaders use the magic word
defense" to promote their pet
projects, such as canals, seaways,
highways and bridges. There is, to be
blunt, a great deal too much of this
all around and it is high time to stop
it.
1t is time for the people to wake up,
to grasp the fact that the real bene-
fits of rearmament lie in the defense
of our soil and the preservation of
our freedom. 1t is time to be i'm
patient with those who see in this
great emergency a chance to obtain
class or group benefits-to demand
''our share" 1t is time, too, to be in
tolerant of the ill-timed POPULARITY of
those in high places and of the
maneuvering of one partisan group
to hold dominance over the defense
billions and another group to discuss
what is to come later rather than
what is to be done now. The simple
truth is that as yet the right kind of
spirit does not exist among the peo-
pie, and the reason is that the right
kind of spirit does not exist among
their leaders-or at least is not being
displayed by them. Persiflage is all
right in its way but it is not reason
able to expect the people as a whole
to take this situation with deep
seriousness if those at the top are
going to be publicly funny about it,
and if group leaders, without protest,
are going to put their group interests
first.

each wearing. How many times
you've heard the soap fakes people
say this! They are telling you for
your own good. Let us add that
your stockings must be washed as
soon as you take them of, not the
next day or the next week. The
reason for washing them is to re-
move the perspiration acid in them.
This cuts silk quickly and therefore
must be washed away at once.
Stockings must not be washed in
water that is too hot. A luke
warns suds is best, and of course
soap fakes or grain are better than
cake soap because they dissolve in
stantly. Squeeze the SudS through
your stockings, rinse them several
times and then roll them up in
towel to absorb some of the mols-
ture; shake them out and hang
them up to dry. All this takes time
to tell, but little time TO do. And
the right way actually takes less
time than rubbing in the cake soap
and trying to rub 1t out again.
You'll find it much more economical,
too, because it preserves the color
and the elasticity of your stockings.
1t goes without saying that stock
ings and panties should be changed
every day; that bras and slips
shouldn't be worn more than two
days, yet we have seen many
girls charm snapped by a soiled
shoulder strap.

Careers involving brain work have
always been. most appealing to
young people because they carry
with them prestige and social pre-
ferment. People who work with
their hands have been somewhat
looked down upon.
But today many of the fields in
volving brain work are terribly
overcrowded. Newspaper reporters
and editors are a dime a dozen in
most cities. Opportunities for sec
retaries, teachers and lawyers are
strictly limited. Yet there is real
demand for beauty operators, a
shortage of skilled mechanics and
other craftsmen, and constant work
for steamshovel operators. Tool and
die makers earn more, on the av-
erage, than lawyers, and domestic
workers have more left over at the
end of the week than stenographers.
Sooner or later we're going to get
over this snobbish idea that a brain
worker is inevitably more cultured
than person who works with his
hands. And that final statement
hasn't led us as far away from
the first paragraph of this column
as you might think!
Any readers who are going away
to school for the first time at

who toiled to support him and the
brothers and sisters who have been
his chums since infancy.
Because his wife is never will
ing to go to visit her husbands
people many a man never goes back
to the old home. Because his wife
refuses to welcome his family many
a man dares not invite even his
parents to come to see him. Because
his wife considers that she is being
robbed if her husband helps a sister
or brother in need many a man lets
his own flesh and blood perish of
want.
Of course, the men who let their
wives separate them from their fam
lilies are craven towards, but many
one who would face a firing squad
unafraid is terrified into submission
by Wifes tongue and the scenes
she stages.
The woman who deliberately sets
about separating her husband from
his family, instead of becoming one
of them, is not only cruel but stupid,
for she cuts herself out of lot of
happiness and help she would de-
rive from them If she would make
them her friends and allies instead
Of enemies. For blood is thicker than
water and there is something in the
family relationship that gives us
sence of clos,n.ss, an understanding,
feeling of security, of having some
body at our backs who will fight
with us to the end that we never
have in strangers.
Even the much dreaded and
feared mother-in-law is not the ogre
she is painted, but a niniste-ing
angel, if the girl her son married
comes to her in the spirit of a real
daughter.
If the daughter-in-law has made
OF her a friend, mother-in-law will
be an ever present help in every
time of trouble. She will pinchhit in
all domestic emergencies, when the
cook leaves, or there is sickness. She
will dig up the money to pay the
rent If bad times cone, and she will
be her daughter-in-law's ablest ally
in dealing with a balky young hus-
band.
So young wife makes a great
mistake when she refuses to become
one of her husbands family, but if
she does there is nothing that her
1n-laws can do about it.
