xypMen mems v& A Virtue of Praise A Talk to Knockers BY DOROTHY DIX The mostover-eßtl mated weapon EV .CinV world Is the ham mer. one millionth part as ef (ectlve as the pot. though the great majority of people go through life without finding It out. EjJß®nsE.-:lrM The average indi vldual's ideal of the ■K : JsTV way to reform things is by perpetual knocking, which per haps explains why so few abuses changed for the bet- BBSnsIHBS ter Theoretlcallyyou can smash anything by lamming It hard euough, but in actual practice this does not work out successfully, especlaHj when it is applied to the faults and foibles of human nature. Still, when a. man doesn't like his wife's housekeeping, or thinks she spends too much money—bing;—ne be gins lambasting her cooking and ex travagance. And she goes on burning the roast, and making dish water cof fee. and buying imported lingerie ana French hats. If a woman objects to her husband's belonging to a club, or smoking, 6he keeps busy, day in and day out, peg ging: away with her little hammer knock-knock-knock, and still he puts on his hat and makes a break for free dom the minute dinner is over, and he smokes like a furnace. If Johnnie is awkward and spills things at the table, and hates school the whole family organizes itself into an anvil chorus, and it's bing, bang, bing! from morning till night until Johnnie grows surly, and hates home and books, and spends all the time he can with acquaintances he picks up In the street. If an employer wants to speed up his employes and get more work ana better service out of them, he goes for them with a trip hammer, and abuses them for loafers and incompetents, and shirks, and the employes say to each other that the old man is a grouch who never appreciates good work, anyway, so whats the use in giving it to him? And they don't. Sever Any Good Fault finding and blames never yet reformed anything, but praise is the can move the world of humanity.

"I didn't think you noticed it" Josie thrilled, but found it hard to S other laughter—not wholly that of icule, mostly that of joyousneas. She Inade no other answer.

Sine* the days of the Oreek cMTlsatlos fh« world has crown backwards In the ideal and attainment of physical beauty. Two thousand years a*o Plato taurht that he who was educated In mind and moral sense alone, and not in body, waa a cripple. The Greeks had so little llklnf for an 111-favored physique that a child not perfectly proportioned at birth was exposed to death. The educaUon of today teaches us to look first for mental and moral qualities: this Is ri*ht. if we do not forset the Importance of the physical, j sad it* Influence on us. The Moral and the Physical. There are some beautiful souls so lifted •bove all physical aches and discomforts that their mission on earth Mtms one of dear Inspiration; brilliant Intellects, like JSUsabeth Brownlnr. whose whole verse aialdnff life was spent on an Invalid's sofa, or Henri Heine, whom from his "mattress crave" wrote some of his most brilliant essays and uttered his most bit ing and caustic epigrams, seem absolute ly Independent of material conditions. But such examples we must regard as saintly natures in which the spiritual life clearly «pntrols 'or great geniuses In whom the creative power Is all. dominat ing. With the average man or woman physical well-being Is a necessary part of character and mind development, and he who neglects It will not do his best work. Not Vanity. It Is not personal vanity alone, but the ; desire for personal efficiency that should lie behind the cult for physical culture. Personally. I have little patience with people who proclaim It a matter of indif ference whether they grow stout or not, or whether their figures keep young and lithe. Indifference to one's physical ap pearance Is either lasiness or a certain Corn of egotism, not at all commendable. Signs of Middle Age. Inertness, disinclination to exercise, a little aching In the muscles are apt to be characteristic of middle age. The man or woman who does not take systematic ' exercise Is the first to grow stiff and > heavy and to put on an undue amount of flesh. One who has always kept In good condition, whose muscles are firm and elastic has little to fear from middle age. At this period a woman may have to work a little longer at her exercises. If the disposition to put on flesh Is present, but her task 1s nothing compared to the woman who haa let "herself go" all her Hfe Lssson XI to be continued.
