CHAUNCEY DEPEW &SAYS KEEP GOING' That Is Way to Live~Is Going on ‘B‘igm_y-_six. f BY JOHN J. DALY, (special to The Herald.)

When he got in the midst ot his talk on books and their makers, he recalled an incident in the life ot Willam Makepeacs Thackeray. It waas at the old Century club in New York, Thackeray, at the timé of his visit to America, was interested in éverything that the Americans were doing. He asked someone what would be dono in the Century club after his lécture “Oh,"”” replied his guideé for the occasion, “‘we shall all adjourn to the dining room and eat some raw oyster: “Raw oysters?’ exclaimed Thack- eray.

While Mr. Depew claims there is a dearth of good new stofies, he believes that the natural funny.bone of the American public will soon be struck in the right fashion and that there will be a return to normaley, in this di- rection. “The boys who went overseas left their sense of humor somewhere in France. or somewhere else,” com- mented the senator. “Now, it wasn't that way aftér the Civil war. On the contrary, the American sense of hu- mor immediately after the war De- twoen the statés was develdped to its highest piteh.

I know it is not lost, it is just taking a vacation. We have some good humorists in the country at the present time, just as good as in the old days; but eur people haven't vet recovered from the shock of the war. Just as soon as they get rid of all the economic¢ troubles and other worries that seem to be Dbothering them, they will resurrect humor. These same economic vonditions have not only played havoc with American humor, but they have also brought about late marriag which Senator Depew deplores as a real tragedy for he believes that every young man and young woman should get married as soon as they possibly can. “Of course, they can't get married until they are able to maintain a home. And there are few these days who can maintain a home until they reach the late twenties. One reason for that, of course, is the change that has come in our way of living. When I was a boy we believed for the most part in vil- lages. And village lite was conducive to early marringe: for village life was a home life. The young girl, as early as four years, was taught the rudi- ments of home-making. She learned how to do housework, to cook. and to | sew. nd do all those wonderfull things | ! | forms | adays, its different. that her mother was able to do. Now- “There is not the home life that we know in the old days. The girl is not taught the lessons of housekeeping, partly becuse many mothers believe that to teach her these things would prevent her from becoming a lady. As if a lady were someone who thrived on idleness. Just to the extént that the fathers and mothers think that knight- hood and ladyhood. with all that that means, in its best gense, is due to idleness, just to that extent they are neither knights or ladie: In order to bring about a change in present day conditions, insofar as these conditions affects the new homes and the culpination of happy mar- riages, Senator Depew believes that the curriculum of the public &chools should be changed s6 as to include courses of domestic economy for young girls. “Vodational training it what public schools should specialize in,™ sald the stnator, “Along With the course that fit young girls and Hovs for the business life, that is. the economic end of existence, the schools should have course which would in the end turn out boys and giris worthy | 6 be called home-makers in the truest | sense of the world. l our “After all is Mid and done, there is nothing sweeter in all the world than home, and the making of home.

There was a camaraderie exist- | ing then that has gone out of style | now. I remeémber very weil how close | Wwe were to each other, us young folks: but all that changed when the nation grew and big cities took the places of small towns and villages. . Village Life “In the village, everybody went to church and to Sunday school. on Sun- day. Unfortunatelf, theré aré a lot of péople Who dd not do that today. And on Friday nights there was always a meeting at the church, ;which was just ax much of a social hature as it was a religious opportunity. There wehe things that cemented the bonds of friendship. In those places, boys and and girls who had known each other kince they could remember, met and married. “Now-a-days. in cities like Wash- ington, familles niove in from other places, and there is not that kinship among people that we knew in the old days. So-long as cities attract new people this will be so; for yow'ye got to be born, and live, and remain in the same place to make friendships that are lasting.” Senator Pepew compared the of entertainment as he knew in the old-time villages with the populace of a modern Am- erican city enjoys today. In those days, he =ald, the people were thrilled with things that nowadays would g6 by the boards unnoticed. “To begin With, we dldn't have the movies!” The senator smiles. “The movie: And how they o move !" “So far as I am able to judge, the movies are dealing in what might be ocalled a re-hash of current fiction. I have seen a great number of movies, You know, there are some safeguards .that always keep us fellows who are eighty-seven free from temptation. So I never fear that the movies will lead me astray. “Ae 1 have noted, the movies deal with love.

The villain may get tired and commit suicide, or an irate father may bestow his forgiveness; but the bride and groom- elect get there, somehow. “Now, the trouble with the whole thing is. the movies aren't true to life. Most of these things don’t happen in real life; but a great many movie fans believe they do— and that is where the mischief comes in. Back in the villages we didn't know anything much about all these various phases of life depicted in the movies; and consequently, we were very happy and managed to lead quiet and peaceful lives. The younger generation, thrilled " with an adven- ture that is in most cases de- cidedly unreal, looks with longing eves for things that just don’t hap- pen.
