Excellent Reason Why
Wife Bosses Husband
The ambitions of a normal girl are
two; first, to secure a husband who is
sufficiently prosperous to maintain her
in luxury; second, to boss him. The
first ambition is seldom realized; the
second almost invariably is.
Two factors contribute to the reali-
zation of the second ambition ; the hus-
band’s love, which makes Him amen-
able and long-suffering, and the wife's
love, which makes her watchful, per-
sistent and unyielding.
It is not, as many suppose, a czar
complex that prompts a wife to be the
keeper of her husband's conscience and
the director of all his ways. It is love,
nothing less.
Because she loves him she wishes to
keep him from the follies that would
serve him ill, to shield him from the
devil that is within him, and to make
him the perfect creature her love
would have him be,
That is mother instinct, and it is
aroused by the fact that her husband
functions much as a small boy func-
tions. He tells her his troubles, he
glows under her praise; he pouts when
she hurts his tender feelings.
Her efforts to boss doubtless are
commendable, but the first essential in
training a mule is to have more sense
than the mule. It is one thing to
yearn for authority, and quite another
to qualify for it.
No man wishes to be bossed, even in
the name of duty and love. The pride
of his manhood is dear to him. Bra-
zenly to order him about is to insult
him gratuitously, foolishly and useless-
ly. The way to bridle a skittish horse
is to keep the bridle behind your back
until you rub the horse's nose.
Any woman who hasn't wit enough
to do her bossing deftly and smoothly,
without revealing either her plan of
campaign or her ultimate purpose, de-
serves to live in the kind of bedlam
that is provided for married folk who
have strong wills and no tact.—Balti-

" Air “Lighthouses”
Before:many years have passed, “By
Air to Anywhere” will be a suitable
advertisement for the world’s service
of air liners; and just as ocean routes
resulted in our coastal lights, so these
air routes will produce lighthouses for
the guidance of air traffic.
The first of a series of these light-
houses has just been completed on the
outskirts of Dijon, on the top of Mont
Afrique, a hill about 1,800 feet high. It |
is one of several *hat will mark the
air route from Paris to Algiers. The
light has a strength of 874,000,000 can-
dle-power, and gives a flash that will
be visible on a clear night for over 300
miles. A similar lighthouse is to be
built in the neighborhood of Paris.
At the same time comes news of a
proposed survey, to eost $45,000, of an
alr route betwen Kenya and Khar-
toum, and there can be no doubt that
Africa, once the Dark continent, will
loom large in air annals, and will pres-
ently have many such lighthouses as
the one at Dijon.
Unharmed by Long Falls
Among the classic Knglish falls
may be mentioned that or a steeple-
jack, who fell fiom the top of the
church of St. George in Bolton-le-
Meors to the ground, the whole dis-
tance traversed being some 120 feet.
The man’s skull struck some sheet
lead upon the earth and left its im-
pact upon it, but though this fall was
quite unbroken the man was only
slightly injured and resumed work in
a few days. Not long ago a man
with his. shoes on fell from the top
of a cliff at Dover, the height of which
was afterward found to be 400 feet.
He was picked up floating insensible
in some five feet of water, but his
shoes were off, which proves that he
must have retained sufficient -con-
sciousness on reaching the water to
enable him to draw his shoes from
his feet.
New Paiindrome Found
New palindromes are rare, but a
western newspaper writer has re
vealed several especially good ones. A
palindrome is merely a phrase that
spells backward and forward. A
classic example of the palindrome is
the speech put into the mouth of Na-
leon: “Able was I ere I saw Elba.”
Among the new ones sent was the fol-
lowing purporting to be a sign which
a store manager placed over a rat-
zatching preparation composed of
Dutch cheese and tar: “Rat trap
wade a la Edam, part tar.” Years ago
when “red root” was popular as a
cure-ail, a druggist’s sign ran: “Red
root put up to order.”
Doubt Anecdote of Drake
One of the features of the great his-
torical pageant of Devon, produced at
Torquay, wad ‘the use, in one scene,
of the ‘identical set of bowls with
which Drake was playing when the
Armada came in sight. These bowls
are among the treasures of Torquay
museum, says London Answers.
There are people, however, who
doubt their authenticity or rather the
truth of the famous anecdote of Drake
and his celebrated game on Plymouth
Hoe. There is no contemporary ac-
count of the Incident, which was de-
scribed for the first time in Britain
in aan Eighteenth century book. It is
mentioned, however, in a Spanish po-
litical pamphlet published in 1624,
PLEASANT GAP.

However, the parents, teachers and

Bible foretells the coming of a real

alized under the kingdom of the
Prince of Peace. Present disturbed
conditions are in reality signs of the
nearness of world peace. He did his
subject justice to his appreciative au-

an orator of high order. His com-

A few evenings ago as I was pass-
ing down Main street I overheard a
mother correcting one of her boys.
She did it in a most unnatural and in-
human way. In her harangue she
used the most vile and profane lan-
guage. It struck me that it is a won-
der that a just Providence ever blessed
her with an offspring. There should
be a law punishing any parent so de-
void of sense and judgment. All
heads of families should realize that
men and women are but children of a
larger growth, and it can be readily
understood that the children who have
received proper training will develop
into ladies and gentlemen when they
have reached maturity. It is a natur-
al consequence that children take their
parents as their guides in the matter
of manners and conduct. What daddy
and mother does is regarded as law,
and gospel to them. Of course, there
are exceptions; some children know
more than their parents and all other
grown persons; but I am not now
writing of that sort. Parents must
not use slang before théir children;
for a man to swear when at home is
criminal, and if a man smokes or
drinks he sets a bad example for the
boys. Another thing, parents should
never quarrel before their children;
for boys and girls in these circum-
stances soon lose respect for them.
When the parents fly into a passion
they frequently use language they
afterwards regret, and which the chil-
dren never forget. Depend upon that.
To be all that a gentleman or a lady
in society should be, is far easier when
the advantages of early home train-
ing have been enjoyed. Some parents,
even among the class who should most
comprehend the value of such instruc-
tion, are very remiss with their chil-
dren, so that their future may be rich
in promise of a better life even be-
yond the grave. Immortal life—what
mother does not pray that it may be
a glorious one for her children. And
to that end she must interweave the
lessons of politeness and kindness
with the beauty of virtue, of self-de-
nial, of unselfish aims, which alone can
be attained by constant and earnest
effort; but first, let every mother
teach her daughter that only a good
man is worthy of her; that wealth and
position can never take the place of a
lack of respect from the husband she
chooses; that she should be modest,
faithful to all her duties, and demand
like qualities from others.

Fifty to Graduate at Penn State
August 6.
About fifty degrees were awarded
at the second annual summer com-
mencement held by The Penn-
sylvania State College on Thursday,
August 6th. It was the third gradu-
ation exercises held by the College in
1925. The summer graduation was
instituted last year following a de-
mand through increased numbers
qualifying for degrees because of the
many courses offered and taken by
students enrolled in the winter ses-
sions.
It would have been of unusual in-
terest this summer, had the French
Ambassador to the United States, M.
Emile Daeschner, been able to keep
his engagement to be the com-
mencement speaker. The invitation
of president John M. Thomas to have
M. Daeschner address the summer
commencement was accepted a few
days ago but later recalled because of
unexpected interference. The French
Ambassador has shown great interest
in the now nationally known institute
of French education conducted each
summer at Penn State, and his coming
to the College would have been re-
garded as highly complimentary to
the value of the “French house” as a
medium for training competent teach-
ers of French.
M. Daeschner is a commander of the
Legion of Honor and succeeds M. J. J.
Jusserand as Ambassador to this
country. He formerly represented
France as embassy secretary at Lon-
don, was for a time first secretary at
Madrid and was minister at Lisbon
and at Bucharest.
