Logan Payne CHICAGO SEW YORE BOSTON How Do They Do It? Newspapers recently have carried in some detail the exploits of a gentleman named Perry who is wanted for the murder of a woman in Wisconsin. It seems that he became acquainted with the lady through a want ad in- serted in a newspaper. Then he told her that he would come into a large fortune if she would provide transpor- tation so that he could go to California and claim it and, in addition, marry a woman who would help him “settle down” and thereby give proof to his aged mother of his good intentions. ‘The woman accepted the invitation, borrowed some money, and married Mr. Perry. Subsequently he shot her, presumably in cold blood after taking the money. ‘Then he escaped in the woman’s automobile. ‘The whole affair is horribly cruel but one could under- stand how a human monster might conceive and execute it. We are used to bloodshed in these days of rum wars and gang massacres and it takes a great deal to startle us. But here's the catch. Mr. Perry, it seems, has only one eye. And that being so, the question which naturally arises is what sort of appeal did he make to the woman in question that she should be willing to marry him, particularly under the circumstances. Since then it has been reported from St. Louis that a man answering. Perry's description has been working the same “racket,” at least in its preliminary stages, on two women there. A real wife, with several children, turns up in Mil- waukee, living in the direst poverty. Perry never pro- vided for his family and they haven’t seen him for months. A bigamous wife announces herself from Cleveland, Ohio. Here, then, is a man who has tricked a number of women, one of them to her death. He has a physical de- formity which would turn most women from the thought of marrying him unless he definitely had proved him- self to have a heart of gold. It is only reasonable to as- sume that the man’s real character must show in his face or in some of his actions. And still they are duped by his persuasion. Mr. Perry may be guilty of murder, but the women whom he has tricked might reasonably be charged, not only with poor judgment but with bad taste. Children and Dishpans Compulsory dishwashing never puts a rainbow ‘round the dishpan. But it does have a lot to do with that chronic business of being too tired to wash the dishes. Just the same, mothers can’t seem to break themselves of the habit of putting tea towels in their daughters’ hands and suggesting that they wash the cups and saucers and brush crumbs away. . But now Miss Marion S. Van Liew, chief of the Home Economics Education Bureau of the University of the State of New York, and education director of the Home- Making Center in New York City, has cast her influence with the daughters. Mothers are all wrong. Compul- sory dishweshing, according to Miss Van Liew, has given millions of girls a drab outlook on home economics. It, has made them hate housework. And it is all their mothers’ fault. Still—with a large family that must be fed three times a day, to say nothing of after-school bread-and-butter- and-jelly sandwiches, it isn’t always possible for a mother to attend to the cleansing of the plates if she would darn the family socks, sew on the family buttons, wash and iron and scrub and sweep and dust and bake and stew and nurse and market and plan the menus and tell the agents that she isn’t interested in anything today! Of course, if Sally and Sue and Mary didn’t have to assist in the cleansifying of the dishes they would have the thrill of novelty when they dip their own rosebud china into the foamy suds. 4 It is a sad state of affairs. If modern labor-saving de- vices can’t strengthen the case for the after-dinner ex- ercises there seems to be little to be done about it—ex- cept let the mothers attend to the ablutions of the china. Dishwashing used to be something that every normal girl had along with measles and mumps and chickenpox. Now it would appear that it should be banished from the childhood ailments along with the other hindrances to health and freedom. ‘There is nothing to do, apparently, but let the moth- ets perform the purification rites for the porcelain and dresden—unless common sense arises to remark that children don’t always need quite as much coddling as the experts seem to think. Different from the Rest ‘To persons who still think in terms of what their geography told them when they were in school, the revo- lution now going on in Brazil may not mean a great deal. Actually it is very important. Brazil is a nation of some 33,000,000 souls and about half as large as the United States. It has vast produc- tive reaches of countryside and mountain and wonder- ful prospects for industrial development. The city of Sao Paulo, called the Chicago of Brazil, does more manufacturing than any other city south of ‘the equator. Rio de Janeiro is @ city of more than a million souls. Sao Paulo has almost as many. ‘With its vast potentialities and the wealth which al- ready has been developed, Brazil is important to the ‘United States as an outlet for the manufactures of this country. Those 33,000,000 might easily be translated into terms of goods consumed. They might be considered in terms of goods produced there and consumed in the United states. It is not inconceivable that the trouble in Brazil may, when it finally is summed up, compare with our own Civil war. The insurgent army said to be advancing up- on Sao Paulo numbers approximately 100,000 men, ac- | lands cording to the news dispatches, That is as many as Stonewall Jackson had under his command in most of hhis important Civil war battles. The Brazilian govern- 4 ment is expected to muster as many or more. Civil war in Brazil means war on a large scale and with modern implements of destruction. ‘We have formed the habit of thinking of revolutions in the countries to the south of us as comic opera af- fairs. This is true largely because of the fact that the bigger South American nations have gone along with the business of developing themselves without much in the way of revolution to mar their progress. It has been the smaller, Central American nations which have made a habit of revolution. But Brazil is not Nicaragua. It is a great nation whose size and importance we do not fully appreciate until we begin to check them up. Wholesome Entertainment The world series is one of those American institutions that we could not very well get along without. To be sure, graybeards have a way of wagging their heads at our absorption in sport, and they are now re- minding us that watching a ball game is a poor way of geting exercise. The world series is being compared with the old Roman gladiatorial shows—less bloody, but no more useful. Just the same, it serves a good purpose. If it does nothing else, it gets our mind off of our troubles, In addition, it gives us a number of thrills and injects a bit of color and excitement into a routine that often gcts rather drab. In other words, it’s fine stuff, and we should be none the better off if it were abolished. $500,000,000 for Travel The close of the tourist season brings the estimate that American travelers this summer spent no less than $500,- 000,000 to visit Europe. That is a rather big piece of change; one wonders just what the American tourist got for his money. ‘ In some cases, probably, he got nothing at all. The man who goes to Paris only to infest the American bar and exchange home-town reminiscences with some other compatriot might just as well be staying at home. But for the most.part, very likely, the tourists got their money’s worth. In crossing the ocean they got a glimpse of a civilization that is quite unlike their own. Even granting the contention that many tourists re- main quite impervious to the effects of this exposure of old-world culture, it is obvious that the effect on Ameri- ca as a whole must be considerable. Provincialism can- not live when people go traveling on such a scale, New York Elections Political interest is being focused upon the New York elections. The Republican party has forsaken its tradi- tional dry policy and hopes to attract to its ranks those backsliding wet Republicans who have been voting in state elections for Al Smith and Roosevelt so as to voice their anti-prohibition convictions. Now Roosevelt has been renominated and former U. S. District Attorney Tuttle is the Republican candidate for governor on a slightly moist platform. He is not as mil- itantly wet as Roosevelt, but enough so to herd some of the recalcitrant Republicans back into their own party. Whether Tuttle will be wet enough to re-establish Party lines and secure enough votes to defeat Roosevelt is problematical. Roosevelt has a united party back of him and the Democrats are pulling out all stops and bearing down on all pedals in their depression song. The Republicans will toast the Tammany tiger, but that has been done so often that, even in the face of scandal and graft, it is hard to say whether the sins of New York City will affect the political fortunes of Roose- velt, who is, personally popular and against whom no, one can utter charges of graft. He‘has been classed as clean and an advocate of progressive government, . Charles H. Tuttle, however, has linked Roosevelt with Tammany and seeks to make the recent exposures in New York City one of the main issues in the campaign. It will be a stirring campaign with Probably an inde- Pendent dry candidate to complicate Party solidarity.

Mr. Lewis immediately shouts “fie on the World Court as an issue” and satirically throws in # dozen references to “the lady.” Does she mention the prohibition refer- endum? Mr. Lewis asks her what right she, a dry, has to be clamcring for a seat on the wet band wagon. Within the past few days, he has ridiculed her and the World Court as an issue so thoroughly that she must shudder to mention it now—knowing, as she does, that the Illinois voters do not give a snap of their fingers for the World Court. Verily, he is the same old “J, Ham Lewis,” and the boys and girls are giving him consider- able attention. It is developing into a great fight. The State Needs a Land Policy ) (Minneapolis Tribune: Title to 272,000 acres of cut-over land in St. Louis county is about to revert to the state for delinquent texes. It is being surrendered by he Weyerhauser in- terests, which fatled to secure favorable consideration from the board of county commissioners for a plan to reforest and thus put it to work growing timber crops. ‘The companies interested offered to pay a decreased tax while financing the cost of reforestation, They ap- parcntlg took the attitude that the taxes levied were more han the land was worth, while advancing a plan to increase its value and keep it on the tax rolls. Their present position seems to be they prefer to sur- render title rather than go into the real estate business. That is what is happening, The land is in scattered units. It will now be placed on sale for satisfaction of the delinquent taxes. Some veluable acreage is included. Much of it is valuable only for reforestation. If it is ever utilized, or ever. again becomes a source of tax revenue to the state, it first be reforested. The natural process is slow. nce is proving that scientific reforestation gets the quickest and most satisfactory results. What is happening in St. Louis county is happening in large arec3 all over northern Minnesota. As the state increased. The resulting situation steadily presses more satisfactory plan of solution than is now in sight. It would appear that Minnesota nears the time when a ition of state lands with strict regard to. their utility will be simply good business on behalf of every interest paying taxes. A limited area of these may be farmed. Much of them should be re- forested. There i- now no definite policy. The need for it is apparent. Idle, unproductive land is no more an asset to the state than to the individual or the cor- poration. 4 | ; Nailing It to the Mast! | THE NAVAL ACADEMY On Oct. 10, 1845, the United States Naval Academy, where executive of- ficers of the United States Navy are educated, was founded at Annapolis, Md. Since that time the government has spent more than $15,000,000 for build- ings and grounds. As a result, the school is now considered the best equipped and handsomest naval in- stitution in the world. When the school was first opened the course was fixed at five years only to be extended four years later to seven years. By the Act of 1912 the course was fixed for folir years at the end o: which, upon gradua- tion, the midshipmen are commis- sioned as ensigns.

It seems to be saying ‘hush’ all the time.” “That's very true,” he gravely agreed, and he took her band and held it in his own and seemed to be studying it. And finally he looked. up at her face agaim “I was just thinking, Anne. You've come a long way since that first night we came down here,” “And you too, Dan,” she smiled. “No, it’s different.

Such slang!” Dan smiled, and then he became suddenly serious. “Now, look here, Anne. Tonight's the night we get the record clear. There's no use kidding ourselves any longer. I'm crasy about you and you know it; you've known it for a long time, too. Now what am I going to do about it?” He waited then for her reply, and Anne said “Why, Dan,” confused- ly, and nothing more. She turned her eyes away and looked troubled. “There for a while, when things weren't breaking for me, I man- aged to keep quiet about it, but—” Anne interrupted him with a vehement shake of her head. “Oh, Dan, that wouldn’t have made any how would you like to get —not a bit. You just |‘vel difference—no' don’t undérstand.” “Well, it did to me; it made a lot of difference. You know, Anne, you told me a little while back that you sometimes thought I did- n’t care what happened—whether I went over or not—but you were wrong. I had plenty of reason for caring. . . . What don’t I under stand?” he asked abruptly. . “Ob, just’—she swung around ‘and faced him—“just that I'm be wildered and don’t know what to say.” Her wide dark eyes wore a ‘worried look.

I had hoped you wouldn't somehow, until I was surer of my- self, I Mke you, Dan—I like you tremendously, But I’m not at all sure that I'm in love with you.” eee DAN said, with a shrug and a queer little smile: “Well, “if you're not sure, I guess you're not; I think you'd know, all right, if you were,” and he pulled out a cigaret and lighted it. And Anne, watching his tace, fe- marked the set look about his mouth and laid a hand caressingly on his arm. “You understand, don’t you, Dan?” she asked anxious- ly, “We needn’t be so utterly seri- ous about it, need we?” He said, “No, we can always be friends,” blowing on the end of his cigaret; and 2he irony of it was almost like a blow to Anne. But she said nothing, and Dan sensed that she was hurt, and he ‘was contrite. “I’m sorry, Anne, really, That was & nasty thing to say. I didn’t mean it at all.” He saw her eyes then and they shone with unshed tears, and he let his arm rest lightly around her shoulders, and he spoke lightly and jokingly of other things. But presently the ocean laid its spell on them again and they fell silent, and when Anne etirred un-) easily Rorimer asked her if she thought it time to go. 4 She nodded, Dan started the mo- tor. Swinging up the hill to the main road, he made a remark about ir “celebration” not having been much of a success. “Sort of a flat tire, wasn’t it?” But he spoke cheerfully enough. He said, “Well, we'll just let it go by default, Anne, and try it again ‘sometime. We'll just forget what happened.” He leaned toward her smilingly and Anne smiled back at him, . Presently he began to whistle, and out of the corner of his eye he looked slyly at her to see if she was taking notice of the song. Anne saw him and she laughed. “I think you're horrid,” she said. “Come on, Anne, sing for me.” “Not that one.” She shook her head. “Come on,” he pleaded; “for old times’ sake, Anne,” and he argued 80 persuasively and so persistent- ly that finally she consented and Closed her eyes and san; “Why Wig I dorn?

Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. acne, but believe something is wrong more when I eat sweets.” Answer: You are suffering from a form of acne whic’: is caused by an impure blood stream from improper food combinations. You are eating too much carbohydrate food, and I would advise instead plenty of fruit and non-starchy vegetables. Constipation must also exist in your case, which would be corrected before the condi- tion of ycur skin can be helped. Water with Meals Question: L. O. writes: “In your menus you never mention any drink with a meal. Is water not to be used with meals?” Answer: If you feel thirsty at mealtime drink a small amount of water without ice. It is much better, however, to do your water-drinking between meals. Let your thirst dic- tate the amount, ..nd you will finally get into the habit of drinking away from meal and not with them. Angina Pector’s Question: J. M. C. writes: “I have a pain under my left arm, but sometimes it moves about where the heart is, and then down under the ribs. I have been bothered for over four months. I was examined twice. The first doctor said I had a cold in my lungs and the last one said I wa. suffering from indigestion. Do you think indigestion would give me a pain for four months, or would it be heart trouble?” gas pressure which causes indigestion and this produces heart trouble be- cause of the pressure of gas against the heart.
