PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX.
Bott.v Joan: It's quit* a muddle,
Isn't It? I truly think the young man
should be asking you to set a wed
ding date. You were right to repulse
evidences of affection. They are not
the right thing always even when
one la engaged. However, I don’t
believe I'd give hira up. It was cer
tainly honest In him to tell you the
details of that ride, although, if you
are engaged, he should not be going
with other girl*. After all, it's prob
ably best to follow your mother’s
advice. Mothers know quite a lot
usually, especially where their daugh
ter are concerned.
Mrs. J. B. No one can become the
poRseesor of another'll soul. That is
one of the simplest, most basic facts
In life, and yet the world Is full of
folks who make themselves miserable
In trying to disprove facts.
Women, In particular, have a pitiful
way of trying to establish complete
possession when they love. This may
come as a direct result of their
mother Instinct. To direct snd guide
a child, to keep it from stumbling and
to help it work out It* relations to
life is a glorious mother-function.
And, of course, all this is tied up
with the fact that the child is flesh of
its mother's flesh and soul of her
soul.
This beautiful mother Instinct be
comes a predatory and blindly ravag
Ing force, however, when It tries to
lit grown-up^ Into the scheme of de- t
pendency where only children belong.
Most grown ups, who are real <
grown ups and not mental children In
mature bodies, like doing things for
themselves.
A real man wants to make his own i
way in the world._

A real woman Is capable of her
own thinking anil planning.
To find yourself dowered with a lot
of useless kindness Is annoying and
irritating
Most of us resent the overwhelm
Jng attempts to be kind which are <i
fered by one who Is more Interested
in her own efforts to do things for
folks than delicately to wait the real
opportunity to give needed service.
The woman who has a sense of
possession tries to establish her
claims to others either by giving too
much or by demanding too much.
Either method of treating folks repels
them and makes them struggle to
retain their independence of action.
When man or woman is left free to
express himself or'herself honestly he
or she is far more likely to give loyal
ty and devotion tlian when It is de
manded as tribute.
Suppose your husband likes to chat
with pretty girls—it Is the right of
any human being to express himself
honestly and decently. Ily demand
ing all the attention and time of an
other you seek to enslave him or her.
The normal Instinct of freeborn
humanity is freedom. Don't forget
that. Don't forget to establish claim to
another person's soul. For the mo
ment you insist on your right to gov
ern some one else, that moment you
urge to the surface of the other per
son’s miml the normal desire to prove
that he Is a free human with the right
to express himself.
The Way Madge Slipped Off on Her
Errand of Merry.
Katie opened the kitchen door as
I approached, and I saw in her hand
the police whistle with which she sig
nals Jim at the barn or in the woods.
It is the one which Dicky bought
her, as he declared, in selfdefense
against the ear splitting and long
continued shrieks of "Oh-h, Jeemi”
with which she used to summon her
patient spouse, and the whistle is one
of Katie's most cherished possessions
"Eet makes me feel like a real
oop," she declared when she first used
It, and she never has lost her first
childish pride in it.
I put up my hand imperatively as
I saw it.
"Don't blow that, Katie,’’ I said
sharply.
"Vjr?" Katie replied Incredulously.
"Dot Jeem he no hear me else I
blow eet. und I vant heem to carry
dinner for dose leetie schilders over
at oder house.”
I had to make a decision quickly
Jim had asked me not to tell Katie
that he meant to go after the man
for whom the officers were searching,
and who, Jim was sure, was in our
wood lot. Rut unless she knew the
truth, she would go to the barn after
him. and spoil his plan of tracking
the fugitive.
Katie Is Terrified.
With a mental apology to Jim. I
drew her inside the kitchen and told
her of her husband's purpose. If I
ever had had a doubt of her whole
hearted devotion to Jim. it would have
been banished when I saw the color
fade from my little maid's ruddy
cheeks, and stark terror creep into
her blue eyes.
"Oh! but my Missis Graham,” she
wailed, "my Jeem he get kilt. I go
qveek out dere, make heem stop.”
She started for the door, but I
caught her by the.arm and swung
her around facing me.
"It is too late to stop him. Katie.”
I said sternly. "And if you go out
there now. you will only let the man
who is hiding know that Jim is com
ing. You would not only spoil your
husband s plan, but your going out
there may even endanger his life. Be
a sensible girl, and let me call Mrs.
Ticer to help you carry the nice din
ner you have prepared for those poor
children, and I want you to promise
me you won't go out after Jim until
1 come back ”
"Vere you goin'?"
"Just down to the village to bring
'that mother bai k to her baby.” I re
plied. ' And 1 can't leave you until
you have given me your promise.”
She stood a long, hesitant minute, j
and then her tear filled eyes met
mine steadilv.
’’Oh. Missisi My Rabee!”
"I promise," she said. “Vere dot
Missis Tfver?”
"Ml fetch her.” I promised, and
went up tha stairs, meeting my
mother in law in the hal! above.
"Do you mean to say you haven't
started yet?” she demanded. "I
could have walked to Sag Haxborand
back again by this time.”
I explained about Jim quickly, and
made my request for Mrs. Ticer.
"I thought so,” Mother Graham

grumbled. “Pity that ape couldn't
carry the stuff across herself.'*
■'She could by making two or
three trips," I suid quietly, "but we
didn't want any delay In getting the
food to those children. But If you
don’t wish—"
"I'leaso understand, Margaret." she
replied ]<tly, "that I> shall not permit
you to put me In the posit Ion of re
fusing aid to starving children, how
every much you would like to do so.
If you will attend to your own share
of this business and get that mothe
back to her baby w ithout wasting any
more time trying, to run everything
else. I’ll see that those young ones
over there get (something to eat with
Just about one-tenth of the fuss you're
making."
It taxed my self control to Ignore
this manifestly unjust tir.id», but I
even managed a nonchalant "All
light," as I turned away.
Back In the kitchen I whispered a.
warning to Katie of my mother in
law’s proximity, and hurried out to
my car, selfishly glad to get away
for a few minute- from the eider wo
man’s captious-ness.
I went straight to the v !1, ge
"lockup," a primitive place like most
of its kind, for all pr.: oners were
usually disposed of before r,i it by
release or parole, or removed t the.
county jail at Rlverhead.
The woman who had talked to me
across the fence was huddled miser
ably in a chair, while her husband sat
despondently on a bench near her.
The man did not look up as I entered,
but when the woman caught s.ght of
me, she sprang forward and caught
at my coat.
"Oh! Missis, plees, Missis. My ba
beei My schilders!”
Secretary Weeks Sees
Possibility of War
Washington. July 19.—The War de
partment is "urging suff.eient pre
paredness for defense” because "there
exists the possibility of war which
might even involve our own country."
Secretary of War Weeks has written
the American peace award commit
tee. created by Edward S. Bok.
In his letter made public here,
Mr. WJeeks emphasizes the assertion
"that fin the present agitated state
of the world, peace of the world is
not assured.” Americans, however,
the secretary wr.tes. "would not
countenance th.s country engaging
in a war of aggression.”
All Sick People
owe it to themselveo to at least
