How to Prevent Family Arguments— Should People in 11l Héalth Marry?—Rights of the Children. I have a husband who is big and healthy and clean and We find the greatest joy and contentment in my husband_belongs to a family that has the arguing habit in its most virulent form. No matter how small the topic, they can get into a violent argument it, and in the heat of it hurl the most unkind remarks and taunts back and forth. 1 come from a family where arguments were never permitted, and peace and harmony reigned, but to my surprise when I am with my in-laws I find myself mixing up In the argument. So does my husband, and it takes us days afterward to calm down and get back on the old friendly footing. What MNI"OIR? GLORIA. EAR MISS DIX: one of the best pals ever. just being alone.

It will do more than all the seven deadly sins to alienate the members of u family from each other and to disrupt a home.. For no one can possibly love another who always differs from him on every subject under the sun, and no home can be .u place of peace and rest where there is a perpetual battle of words gofng on. ‘And of all the silly, senseless things, none is sillier or more senseless than an_argument, for nobody is ever convinced by one.

Also by so doing we save oprselves from being colosgil bores Don't even try to argue with your arguing relatives about anything, but save your own home by barring any discussion whatever. And if your husband shows any disposition to exhibit the family failing, put an extinguisher upon it by not answering back. Thus will it fall dead, because DOROTHY DIX.

Why hadn't she said something about it? And how would such a plan work out? Mr. Ainsley was of the belief that young people should be left to themselves. He said nothing more, however. He admired Conrad’s independence of spirit. Many a young man would have been glad of the chance to start in the city, but Conrad had made his own plans and intended to stick by them. However, he did ask Conrad what salary he was to receive, and at the reply made no comment, but devided immediately to settle an al- lowance on Jean. It.wouldn't be much, because he didn't like interfer- ing, but enough to keep them from starting in poverty. Jean was very much in love, but she had never tried living on $35 a week. It wouldn't be easy, even in a small town. The Alnsleys’ gift to Con and Jean was a liberal check, over which Jean was jubilant. Now she would at least be able to furnish her room as she liked. She had dreaded going back to: the chill austerity of that spare bed- room with its ingrain carpet and its heavy, ugly furniture of blaclk oak. Mrs. Morgan might even let her brighten up the living room with some new curtains and perhaps a couple of comfortable chairs. After all, it would be her home now, and Mrs. Morgan would be living with them, not they with her. Conrad had Mrs. Morgan would not chauge, she might accept things because she had to, but she would always reason that Jean had taken an unfair advantage of Conrad and wouid never forgive her for it.

There is not a stranger or finer tree in the world than the American bald ress. Which grows along the coast from Delaware to the Gulf of Mexico, and down to the tip of Florida. Tt is peculiar among conifers in not having evergreen leaves; its needles drop off in the Fall and grow again in the Spring, like sthose of the larch. Its wood is among the most beautiful of all woods when polished, and is long-lived under water, naturally enough, as it is a swamp tree. And, like other swamp trees, it has a hgbit of forming great but- tresses at the base, and, further, it develops “knees,” or as the scientists called them, pneumatophores. These knees crop off from the roots all around the tree, like hooded childrenr of the parent tree, and are breathing organs wnabling the tree to spread its roots far in the water. \When the basement of the Mayflower Hotel was being dug out the stumps of a great cypress grove were discovered, proving that many thousand years ago Washington had been a cypress swamp.

Metors are small metallic bodies, the ordinary shooting stars, which are seen when they collide with the earth’s atmosphere and generally burn up instantly from friction, the dust settling on the earth; meteorites are fireballs, rarely seen, often very large, which occasionally strike the earth with great force; they are made of nickel or iron. 3. Comets differ from meteors and metgorites in being very light bodies, gewrally luminous gases. 4. Meteors do not have tails comets often do. 5. Meteors never reach the earth; it they enter’ our atmosphere they disintegrate from the force of strik- ing it. 6. About 146.000,000,000 meteors large enough to be seen with the naked eye strike the earth’s atmos- phere annually. as n | ried judgment. . Toward . Turn to the right . Printer's measure Gained. .
