one can make q success Of 1t alone.
No mother love can make UP to
children for their fathers neglect,
or lack of training and teaching
them high ideals. No father can
undo the harm a weak and silly
mother does to her children. And
1t is because we have so little team
work between parents that we have
so many young hoodlums.
The second G of marriage is cook
ing. There can be no happy home in
which there are not good things to
eat, and cleanliness, order and COM
fort. Bad cooking has alienated the
affection of more husbands from
their wives and broken up more
homes than all the sirens have ever
done. 1t has soured more DISPOSE
tions and turned more men into
grouches and failures than bad luck
ever has. 1t has murdered more
children than Herod ever dreamed of.
1t is at the bottom of more di-
vorces than any other one cause, yet
girls do not take the trouble to learn
to cook before marriage, although 1t
Is the safest insurance policy that
they can take out on domestic hap
piness. For as long as wife keeps
angels food in her hand, her hus-
band will eat out of it.
The third c of the happy marriage
is children. They are the crowning
glory of successful marriage and
the by-product that makes many an
uncongenial marriage still WORTH
while. For in our children we live
again. BY the time they came along
we have begun to lose interest in
ourselves. Our cards have all been
played and we have won, or lost, as
the case may be. But the excite
ment of the game is over, and we
would be bored were it not that the
children pep us up with their en-
thusiasms, their high spirits, their
boundless energies, and our belief
that somehow, someway, they will
do all the things we intended to do
and failed to do. 1t is the children
who make the last lap of life WORTH
while.

Battling Child
Really May Be
Problem
Best Punishment
=, Is Confinement
From Others
Bv Anaelo Patri

Some little children, boys oftener
than girls, strike and punch and
push other little children despite
all their mothers can do. Talking
to them, spanking them, seems to
do no good. They are sorry for the
moment and, children's memories
being short, they do the same thing
the next time they are with other
children,
The best punishment is removal
from the presence of other children.
Make the separation long enough
to allow the loneliness to sink in
10 1t will be remembered as an
unpleasant experience. Half an hour
won't help much. Make 1t half
day, and If that does not help
make it the whole day, and don't
try to make the isolation pleasant
for him.
But punishment is not cure. We
must consider what makes him so
bellfgerent. What makes him want
to push and poke and punch? Study
his health first. Is he oversize?
That might mean trouble. A thor
ough examination Of such child
often discloses the reason for his
feeling so put-on that he must Tight
his way.
Look at the conditions of home.
During these hard years many fam
flies are crowded. Living too close
to other people makes children and
grown people irritable. Too many
people telling child what to 40,
or telling his mother what to 90
about him, makes a child pug
nacious. If such conditions press
upon the child try having him out
of the house as much as possible,
under the care of some understand
ing person. Sometimes there is
helpful relative or neighbor, or an
older child who can help in this.
A tired child is always irritable.
II this fighting spirit Is one who does
not get enough sleep, enough quiet,
enough food of the right kind, he
Is uncomfortable in body and con-
seuuently in mind and he tries to
relieve himself by punching 1t out.
Usually healthy child, well cared
for, gets over this stage early. The
occasional one holds on to 1t and
makes trouble for himself and his
family.
When you have had the specialist
see the child, after you have done
all YOU can do by isolating him,
talking to him, allowing him to feel
the inconvenience of his behavior,
Give him chance to pound out
his driving energy on something
that does not suffer in consequence.
Some little boys have more en-
Orgy than they can use in day.
II that energy is not used In hard
ulay, chores and the like, 1t will
drive itself out by forcing the child
to act, using his muscles. That Is
Why he punches and pushes and
Jokes other children.
DR.. Johnston of Vineland Train
ihg School, the wisest teacher OF
disturbed children we have, gives
such children a mallet or hammer,
a big block, like the stump OF an
oak, or a butchers block, and lets
Him thump and pound 1t until he
feels he has had enough. He gives
him broad-headed tacks if he Is a
little boy, nails If he is bigger.
The point is: Use the driving
energy purposefully If possible; If
not, use 1t in pounding. hammering,
Kicking a football. But use 1t.

Better Taste to
Be Restrained
But Polite
EfnSive Greeting
In Public Place
Conspicuous
By Emily Post

By Emily Post
A letter this morning describes an
incident which took place at big
supper party in a restaurant after
college football game.
In the middle of the first course
girl at this party suddenly stood
up at her place and shook hands
with waiter. The explanation is
that this waiter happened to be a
college student whom she had par
ticularly liked at the Junior Prom
the year before! The question
asked me is whether-no matter
who the waiter might bet wasn't
in bad taste 70 do something so un-
conventional as to be conspicuous?
1t Is, of course, easy to under
stand her impulse to publicly
champion this friend who was serv-
ing as a waiter, but the way she did
it was ill-judged.t Not because he
was a waiter, but because a we'll
behaved girl does not spring to her
feet to shake hands with any man
unless he is an archbishop or the
President of the United States AS
matter of fact her gesture, which
made every man at the table stand
up with her, may very we'll have
had an effect opposite to that which
she intended, since 1t made it very
plain that she thought his situation
in need of defense.
Certainly she might have greeted
him enthusiastically as he came to
remove her place or to proffer a
dish. David! I'm so glad to see
you!" She might have added, Come
and find me when you're off duty!"
This would have been the correct
and tactful thing to do.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am an Army
hostess and I would like to have
your answer to these questions:
Cd Is it proper for ladies to wear
evening gowns to party for SOL
diers? (2) Is 1t proper to call such
parties formal? (3) What is the
correct form of invitation?
Answers: Cd Dresses should be
simple. tailored type of bodice, but
have long skirts, which look more
feminine and graceful than short
ones on the dance floor (2l No,
not in wartime. 60 Plain, printed
| invitations which do not simulate
| formal engraving would be proper.
Dear Mrs. Post: Should congratu
lations on the birth of a child be
sent to the house or to the hospital?
Answer: Send it to the hospital
unless your congratulations are so
belated that the baby's mother will
have gone home. In this case, send
them there.
Dear Mrs. Post: The bride has no
mother, but lives with and has been
brought up these many years by
two great-aunts. I am the BRIDE
grooms mother and would like to
have you tell us whether I should
be escorted up the aisle last of the
guests, or whether the two aunts
should be last. And whether they
or I should leave the church first?
Answer: The aunts enter last be-
cause they take the place of the
brides mother. Their appearance
means that the bride has arrived
at the church. 1t would be quite
proper for you to leave the church
first, excepting that their age
rather suggests that they be given
greater difference.

eSpOuSlng Will make, or now tney Wills
pull together In double harness. Yet
their whole future well-being de-
pends on that more than any one
thing. For no marriage can be a
success unless the husband and wife
do teamwork and, If they do, prac-
tically no marriage will be failure.
The marriage in which husbands
and wives live scrappily together, or
else get divorces, are those in which
the high contracting parties can
never agree on any line of conduct,
and who nullify each others every
effort and bring each others every
plan to naught by their antag-
onisms.
No man, for instance, can make
any headway in his business or pro-
fession if he is handicapped by
wife who is a spender and keeps him
perpetually in debt. No man, having
wet-blanket wife who throws cold
water on his every hope and aspira-
tion and ambition and belittles him
until she kills his faith in himself,
ever achieves anything worth while.
But, on the other hand, the man
whose wife co-operates with him,
who sees eye to eye with him and
works shoulder to shoulder with
him; who bucks him up with her
own strength when he wearies, and
breathes fresh courage and hope into
him when his heart falters, can do
the impossible. Nearly every big
fortune in this country has been
made by wife pinching the pen
nies her husband earned. Nearly
every man who has risen to the top
had wife who gave him hand up.
And, alas, in the scrap heap at the
bottom of the ladder lie the wrecks
of innumerable geniuses who hitched
their wagon to star, but could not
pull the load alone, or make any
headway against a wife who baked
at every step.
If cooperation is necessary be-
tween the husband and wife in the
outside world in order to achieve
success, it is even more vitality i'm
portant in the home circle. For
rearing children is a two-handed job
that requires both father and a
mother to perform properly. Neither

Daily Essentials
OF a Reducing
Diet Listed
Foods That Contain
Certain VitaminS
And Minerals
By Edith M. Barber

Every once in a while some new
reducing system of diet catches the
public fancy. Wherever we go we
hear conversation in regard to the
virtues of certain foods which are
featured by the system in question
as being responsible for the loss
of. pounds. Actually no food is
reducing food. Some, however, are
lower in calories than others.
Sometimes certain combinations
of food, such as beefsteak and to-
matoes or lamb chops and pine
apple, are given. the bouquets.
Actually one meat or fruit might
have replaced the other and if the
total calories for. the day had been
kept low enough results would have
been the same. The only good rea-
son for featuring the same food
so often in reducing diet is psyche
logical. It is easier to remember
to stick to diet if foods are
limited to few. There Is also an
element of the dramatic which at
tracts the would-be dieters.
Probably no one would suffer
greatly for limiting foods to few
for the short time which most
people stick to any diet. My Sc
verest criticism of popular system

Majority Of Pipeline
Projects Could Operate
In Three Months
By the Associated Press.

TULSA, Okla, Jdly 8.-A zoe, 900
barrel day shot in the arm for
the oil-famished Atlantic Seaboard
has been promised with completion
of the Federal Governments pipe
line relocation program.
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes re-
ported yesterday that the program,
costing $30,O0o,000, could oe COM
pleted in six months and that ma
jority of the projects could be in
operation within three months.
The promlem Oh getting oil to the
East Coast has been studied for
months by representatives of the
Government and the oil industry. 1t
is assumed that they have worked
out the best possible solution of the
tangled transportation problem.
Besides increasing the pipeline de-
livery of oil from the Midwest to
the East and expanding the pipe
line capacity within the rationed
area, the program calls for greater
use of river barges. Pipeline de-
livery to the Mississippi River for
shipment up the Mississippi and
Ohio to Pittsburgh is to be boosted
by $4,000 barrels daily
Meanwhile, there were indications
that oil field drilling activity would
be accelerated in the latter half of
1912 1t was reported that more
geophysical crews were in the field
than at any time during the last few
years
A Senate Commerce Subcommit-
tees recommendation that the 40
acre well spacing order be relaxed
was cheerful note to the industry.
Some operators in the area adjacent
to the rationed East had complained
that>the regulations prevented them
from producing enough oil to fur
nish immediate relief to the sea-
| board.
