He said it with an air of sincerity, and she acknowledged the gratitude with a whimsical, understanding smile. Does it strike you as a bit odd? There is a difference between the way a good many men conduct themselves Well, why? their homes and the way those same men act in other persons’ homes, isn’t there? And usually they show off to better advantage when not at home. Perhaps right there is a hint for eliminating some of the domestic unhappiness and some of the divorces the women seek. Suppose that every husband looked upon himself as a GUEST. when in his home. Not as a stranger, of course, but still as a guest. Suppose he thought to himself, “This is my wife's and my kiddies’ home, and I'm here to see them, and I want to make a good impression.” And suppose the wife in the case looked upon herself as a hostess, entertaining & dear friend. That wouldn't prevent husband from washing the dishes or mowing the lawn, of course; he might do that when a guest at the neighbor's. " But perhaps it would eliminate the attitude of possession and proprietorship that many a 1921 wife finds offensive. And perhaps it would make the w ' And, besides, isn’t the underlying theory about correct? "the husband’s office she assumes the attitude of a guest.

She was clutching » bunch of wilted wild flowers and lively sobbing, “I want my mamma; I want my mamma!” Tenderly lifting the child in his arms, McGrath carried her to her home, where, after » warm bath and a meal, she lay in her mother’s arms, warm and cozy and happy.

At It was August c Room 217, Public Safety Dullding, the drafted men from the North district of King county were filing slowly thru the door in single file, stopping one by one before the desk where they were given thelr papers and badges and instructions before filing out again to form in line with contin gents from other districts to go marching up Third ave, and down Second ave. to the depet, where a train would carry them away to the Camp Lewis training camp, and then away again over seas to face— God knew what. At least, it was to a strange life, and to many of these boya, a terri fying, bewildering one, The woman passing out the credentials knew the boys and called them all by Vhy, Nick, what in the world ia the matter with you?” ‘The question was put to a boy as white ax death and trembling all over as tho with @ chill, He said: “I waa upstairs af night.” (Up stairs in the Public Bullding is the city jail) “What were you doing up there? What did you dot “Oh, nothing, I Rafety came in last night to be in time this morning and I was in a pool-room down here somewhere, just standing around, when some copa came in and took me in the place to jail and throw us all in one room together and they just let me out when I ‘told them I must come down here to report.” “Didn't you have any place to uleep?” “L guess you have never been up there. The floor is stone and WET.

He’d Treat ’Em All Rough Editor The Star: I chanced to run onto « scrap of a Star propably a week or two old, which contained an account of the “Night of Horror” in the Seattle jal, which I consider a dirty and stupid stab at prohibition. I am told that the city of Seattle dullt a new jail a fow years ago, and that the old jail was kept to lodge any drunks that came along. Now, you complain that it was drunk- en prisoners that were mistreated. I infer that it was the old jail that your respectable business confined in; therefore his minor of: fense was getting drunk. I would suggest, sir, that if the place is as dirty as you say it ts (and | I presume it is even dirtier than you) fay it is) that each prisoner clean up his own dirt before he leaves the jail, and then it will be more agree able when he comes back. Or, per- haps, if you don't want them to do man was) j Such dirty work, you might fx up your front room for the reception of | drunks, and do the cleaning yourself. | Once more, dear editor, and also the business man, if I ever get to be | Warden of your jail, I will be the warden.

WILLIAM E, BARTON T HAS long been a dictum of po-| litica! history | that “Revolu. ons never roll backward.” Per. haps not But the forward roll ing of @ revolu tion inevitably brings with it elements of re action, and these nooner or later wet thelr wheels revolving within wheels. July is a great month for freedom. There are three notable anniversa- ries, ten days apart-—July 4, 14 and %4. Each of them stands for a birth of tree government. July 24 ts the date of the birth of freedom in Turkey, or of what prom- ined to be freedom. A constitutional form of government was adopted in Turkey, July 24, 1908. On that day the “Young Turks” came to power. Perhaps it had been better if the old Turkey, which everybody knew to be cruel and corrupt, had con- tinued until the world war, and then gone down to Its doom. There might pomibly have risen out of It the hope of a new Turkey. But if the light that is in a national hope is darkness, how great is that darkness! The young Turks, so far as we were able to discover, in the world war were just as crue] and just as corrupt as the old Turks, with the added dinwdvantage that they were young, and there was no one else to look to for better things. Perhaps revolutions never roll backward; perhaps it should rather be said that revolution: THE DANIEL WEBSTER ANECDOTE Many of you believe in protection and have given this discussion marked attention, This reminds me of Webster's master orations in the United States senate when he was making his great compromise speeches between the North and the South, Many of the senators of the South believed in Webster and paid marked attention to his logic; but Webster was @ Northern and one of the senators, deeply con victed, interrupted Senator Webster and said: “Senator, you are not one of us” Webster replied: “Not one of you, when I have steod like a stonewall with an aval anche of abolition beating against me.” Then the Southern senator re plied: 7 “Senator Webster, you are not one of us. You are not Southern gen- Ueman.” ‘Webster lost all patience at this juncture and replied: “Not one of you? Don't I get backward. At any rate, ft should be said that every movement of a people toward freedom is attended by perils of li- cense and extravagance, and also by those of reaction. Americans who love their country and who remember the significance of July 4 may now and then think with profit of the significance and the warning of July 14 and 24. Each of these ten days’ intervals Jways roll! has its lesson.
