OB LAW in this country is not losing ground. On the con- trary. Thirty-four lynchings occurred in the United States " : during the first six months of the present year, according to figures published by the Tuskegee Institute. This is thirteen more ‘than for the corresponding period in 1914. The increase is more © than 60 per cent. ’ Lynohers this year have killed twenty-four negroes and ten » Whites, as against twenty negroes and one white in the first half of 71914, Common thefts—of cotton, hogs, meat, and, in one case, the ‘mere charge of stealing a cow—were among tho offenses which pro- | voked mob vengeance. Only seven of those put to death—six negroes * and one white man—were charged with assaulting women. ~ > . Lawless taking of lifo in the name of justice confines itself less “and less to the particular crime which the South has claimed that nly terrorisation can check. When mob law takes charge it soon “forgets crime or color. Unless rigorously checked, the man-hunting + instinct geins « hold upon brutal elements in a community and pres- “ently confuses all offenses great and small, It is significant that of thirty-four lynchings noted so far this year eight occurred in Geor- where projudice and violence pressing even over tho threshold of 6 court room made of the Frank caso a spoctacle to shame the ) Only uncompromising *prosecution of the lawless can suppress ‘mod murder.

McCardell Copyright, 1015, by The Press Publishing Op, (The New York Evening World), R. JARR was comfortably set- tled, He had on his old house coat and his slippers and he stretched himself out on the sofa to read the papers after supper. “This fe all right,” he said. “I tell you, it’ the only place after all, Say what you will, it's good to be home!" “What pleasure do I derive from your company when, as soon up per is over, you fall asleep?” Mrs, Jarr. “It may do you a lot of good to be home, but what good does it do me?” “Well, here I am,” said Mr, Jarr, “and I'm not going to sleep either, I'm going to make myself comforta- ble.” So saying, he put another pil- Jow under hia head. “And as soon as you are comfort- able, you go to p,” shrilled Mrs, Jerr. “But then, so long as you are muited, I presume I should not com- plain" “But you always db complain,” re- torted Mr. Jarr, who for some strange reason, despite his taking the papers and pillow! peared to be more anxious to argue than to read, “you always do complain, You complain when I don't come home and you complain when I am home.” “You might as well not come home as to come home and have your sup- per and read the papers and fall asleep,” answered Mrs, Jarr, “But, as I said, I won't complain.” It was not Mr. Jarr’s purpose to quarrel, But he had a purpose, al- though he gave no sign, #0 he looked around the room and sighed in a@ comforting manner, "“Y s I was saying,” he said, “It's rood to be home. I always like to come home, I know you think I do not, but, as a mat timo.” Mrs. Jarr sniffed disdainfully, as if this were so wild a statement it wasn't contradicting. Agito IT am,” said Mr, Jarr, taking unbrage at the sniff. “I'm home every night. And I'm home because I want to be home." “How kind of you!" said Mrs, Jarr. “Well, I'd rather be home than any place else,” said Mr, Jarr, “T can lay oft and take it easy, And do you know, I'm tired when night comes. My feet ache, I guess I'm getting old.” “Lok here, Edward Jarr!" cried Mrs. Jarr, rousing up at this “If that’s all the reason you come home, Just to use it as @ rest cure, you can get right out!” “What? asked Mr, Jarr. “Zou can get out,” repeated Mre. ter of fact, I am home all the; Jarr. “If you are only home because you are feeling old and because you ache, you can get out and ache some- where else. Go to G ind ache!” “Put on my shor id coat and leave my nice comfortable sofa?” iter, By J. H. Cassel Mr. Jarr Wins an Evening’s Liberty By Deceptions That Don’t Deceive asked Mr. Jarr. “Exactly,” cried Mrs, Jarr, “and while you miss your comfortable sofa, think of the many nights when you didn’t ache and weren't tired and weren't gétting old and cranky, when you might have come home and didn't!” “Oh, get out!” laughed Mr. Jarr, as if this were a joke. 4 Wife or > Partner ? Irene Loeb == Copyright, 1015, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World), = By Sophie * rT} DON’T know what I would do without my wife in business,” said a prosperous man the other day, “She is the greatest as- set I have, Together we have worked for years, and our store has now ac- sumed large proportions, “I might say we are now on ‘easy street,’ and I believe I owe it all to her, I am glad to acknowledge it. A man can rely on a wife in his business where it would be difficult to trust the best employee, For, if @ woman is interested in his work, she realizes that his welfare means here and naturally she works toward that end. I think every man should fully appreciate such a helpmate.” hen I spoke to the wife of this man she said: “We have succeeded only by hard work in mutual in- terest, At the beginning I had to do my housework and help my husband with his business, But WE WORKED TOGETHER in the early years, so that when each of my two children came we Were in a position to secure help for both the home and the busl- ness until they w old enough to enable me to continue in the busi- ness. “I think It 1s a splendid thing for a woman to do, for my husband's success means comfort and well- being for me, At the same time, I do not feel that EVERY woman has the inclination to go into the trade world, side by side with her husband, along with her domestic duties. “People opposed to women workin, in business use the argument thi something is sacrificed. At is; but that something very often is SMALL in comparison to the ADVANTAGES derived in the end. Now we are in a position to educa’ our children and live well with le: toll; which is certainly worth a little | Sacrifice at the start.” Good plain common sense, my dear woman. Gone is the day when a woman's ONLY plac: the hearth- stone; dishes were done, was sometimes a resting place (or rather “rusting place") for idle hands. The woman with talents has opportunity to develop thei, to the advantage of the family as well as herself, Gone is the day when house- keeping was the only work for woman, She who elects to help in making the bread and butter, and looks to the future in the way of saving, is looked upon with as much admi tion for her thrift and economy as is her sister who attends ONLY to the household, Yet every man should not expect this business aptitude on the part of his wife. Every woman is not fitted or has the desire to join her husband in the realm of money- making, Such women very often do their great work in developing the econo- mies of the home. Their activity is just as commendable as the business labor, ‘Thus it lies in the dispost- tion of the woman itn the case, Yet, always there is the one principle that makes for future happiness, and leads to the peace and plenty that all strive for. It is this: “Helping your husband, whether it be in business or in the home, means bringing to the partnership: YOUR share of the work that leads to the ultimate victory desired by both.” “Mr. Hohenzollern” Is 500 Years Old. HIS year marks the 500th anni- T versary of the accession of the Hohenzollern family to sover- eign rank, and the 258th anniversary of the birth of Frederick I,, the first of the Hohenzollerns to rule over Prussia as King. It was in 1415 that Trederick I, of Nuremberg, of the house of Hohenszollern, was mado elector of Brandenburg by the Em- peror of the Holy Roman Empire, ‘The dynasty continued to rule as margraves or electors of little Bran- denburg until 1618, when John Sigis-| K maund assumed also the title of. Duke of Prussia, Frederick Il, Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia, who was crowned King in 1701, was | born in Konigsberg on July 22, 1657, The Hohengollerns had long coveted the title of King, and this elector achieved this ambition, assuming tho title of Frederick I., King of Prussia, in 1701, when he placed the crown up- on his head with his own hands, He was thrice married, His third spouse became insane, but Frederick was kept in ignorance of that fact until one day she escaped and rushed into his apartment, terrifying the King by her wild actions that he never re- covered from the shock. The present ‘aiser of Germany is the twenty- [pinta ing of Prussia the ‘third Emperor of Germany, i “No, YOU get out! I mean it!” said Mrs, Jarr, “if that's all your home 1s, for you~a rest cure—you get on your things and get out!" “Go to Gus's?” asked Mr. Jarr, “I don't care where you go," sald Mrs. Jarr quietly. Mr. Jarr got up, grumbling; and put off his slippers and house coat. He put on his shoes and other coat and went out. Mr. Rangle met bim at the corner, see it worked!” said Rangle, “and it worked at our house. Come on. The pinochle game is waiting for us!" . Mrs. Jarr leaned out the window, but not far enough to be seen, “Huh! I might have known it!" she si Everyday Perplexities Vacation Etiquette. EARS ago a certain famous trav- eller wrote a book about a re- gion in the Far North which in that day was very little visited. He described the geographical features and the flora of the land much as oth- er writers have done, but when he came to the fauna he headed one chapter “Snakes in Iceland.” ‘The pe- cullarity about this chapter was its brevity. It covered the whole sub- Ject in one short sentence, thus: “There are no snakes in Iceland,” In writing about “Vacation Eti- quette” I am tempted to plagiari: this old idea and say flatly, “There ig no vacation etiquette.” This would be at once true and false, There are of course no rules of conduct especially intended for the person who is going away on a va- cation and yet there are certain cou: tesies, certain laws of conduct he must take with him everywhere unless he wishes to bo considered a very ig- norant and ill-bred individual. He must take consideration for oth- ers and @ cheerful disposition and a willingness to be pleased by efforts made for his entertainment and a de- sire to get both mental and physical refreshment out of his yearly rest from business. travels he must occupy but one seat at a time on a crowded train. He should not cover one entire seat with his baggage on the shadiest and coolest sido of the car and then go in the smoker and sit for the greater part of the trip, while other people Swelter in the sun or are crowded in beside strangers. This may seem a small detail, and I know it is often done by persons who are merely thoughtless, but it is brutally selfish for all that and it is unfair because it Is grabbing more than one Is en- titled to, Naturally women never offend in this manner, but they have many oth- er little ways of making themselves disagreeable.

And the hotel register shall not give them away, Lo, there came unto me a youth in white flannels, whose witticteme filled me with merriment; and I “joshed” him mightily and was exceeding mirth- ful with him, And when he had departed they said unto me: “Alas, thou mocker! Knowest thou not that he is a Doctor of Divinity and a High Priest in the temples of Babylon?” And I was confounded. And there came unto me another, who discoursed poetically of the Over soul and spoke spiritually of Macterlinok and of the “Higher Life” and of the “World Beautiful.” And when he had departed I marveled greatly, saying: “Who is THIS that talketh eo inepiringlyt” But they answered: “Behold, he ie Champion Boxer and a High Priest of Athietics, and his name ts ‘Middleweight.’ ” And there came another, who chatted of stocks and bonds and margins and motor cars and yachts. And I whispered softly, saying: “Is this e millionaire that I ece before met” But they mocked me, saying: “Nay, he is a broker's clerk.” ‘Then there came one who besought me to walk in the moonlight end eat more near and babbled in baby talk and sought to hold my hand. And when I had got rid of him, I cried: “Surely, surely, I have got HIS number! For he is a girl tamer and a Moving Picture Actor, and his name is ‘Featherweight!’ ” But they reproached me with their ha-ha’s, saying: “Nay, he is a Professor of Greek and @ Graduate of Seven Untversities!” And I tore my hair and gnashed my teeth, crying: “Alas, alas!

Things You Should Know Germ Cultures, grow and develop, which they straightway proceed to do, Within a few hours tiny spots appear which increase in size and at the end of two or three days each little colony of germs numbers thousands. This fact gives us some idee of the vast number of germs that are ip the air. Investigators can go about with their little glass dishes—something as does a photographer, though instead ot ae the button merely raise the cover—expose gelatine to the air for five minutes and let nature do the rest. Note the following results of a series of analyses made with five- minute exposures, in this way, in dit- ferent places in New York on @ clear, moderately breezy day in April: Germs. Central Park ball ground, found. 499 Union Square ... a4 T ts wonderfully interesting to know how certain disease germs are found and studied. Of course, it 1s understood that they are so tiny &s to be seen only by means of the microscope. It was a startling fact to be told that disease came from without the human body, not from within, and that it came from somo- thing in the air, &c. Much midnight oil was burned by scientists during their experiments. As we know that germs grow and develop in moisture a way to trap them was found, called the plate method, Into shallow glass dishes with covers a layer of gelatine is placed, this being called the culture medium. This dish 1s placed (with the cover!

The result of the analy- sis surely needs no comment. ¢ Wit, Wisdom and Philosophy —== By Famous Authors ==— ON JESTING.

But why pile up further instances of selfishness on the part of the travelling public? Ev- erybody has suffered from them.

Some people are fortunate enough visits during vacation, Now unless it was ressly specified the invitation or'the hootee pak] it as if she really meant it, The welcome guest 1s always the man or woman who tries to please all the members of the household in which he or she is a visitor, who tries to give as little extra trouble aa possible. This guest should re- member that moods are never attrac- tive and that nearly evorybody has troubles enough without pelag unnecessarily added to. He shoul never take favors for granted, but should show his pleasure at the ef- forts of hie host or hostess for his entertainment, even if he has not particularly enjoyed the experience. He should realize that his host te Ary- ing his beat to give him pleasure, an expression of gratification is amallest return he can tn fairness der. In doing this any useful quality called tact. If the truth were known many a host and hostess who have extended the most open-hearted hospitality to some friend would be only too thankful to “speed the parting guest” long before the visit ends.
