OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN ROADS TO SOMEWHERE A New and Interesting Series By GRACE DARLING (Copyright, 1916, International Newsi Service) The one road that every mother's daughter of us most desires to travel is Lovers' Lane. Av In our youth we may like to take a flying excursion into the busi ness world, or to go adventuring for a little time after a career of fame, but for real life journey we all plan to set our feet in the sweet, quiet path of love that ends in home, and husband, and children. Every woman is seeking this way to love, and the most pitiful thing on earth is that she is so anxious to find it that she often deceives her self into believing that any flowery pathway leads to her destination. She doesn't consult the road map of common sense enough. She doesn't take her bearings closely enough or watch which way she is going, and before she knows it she has taken the wrong turn of the road and is lost in the slough of misery. Now there are many roads that seem to lead to love, but that really only lead to sorrow and disappoint ment and disillusion, and should like to erect a few danger signals along them for the guidance of the wayfarers who are setting forth on the sentimental journey. The first is for young girls who think that every path is the path of love, and therefore safe for those ■willing to rush blindly down it with any man who offers to show them the way. The Tragic Pnth These are the poor little wrecked pilgrims of love who drench the world with tears. I have heard many of these girls tell the stories o( their journey tell it with painted lips that sneered and trem bled. It was always the same. Foolish, ignorant young creatures who were so eager to love and be loved they took as guides on the road to love men who knew all the bypaths of intrigue, of secret mar riages and unconventional living, into which they lured girls who did not know where they were going until it was forever too late to turn back. And scarcely less pathetic is the case of the girl who marries the first man who fires her immature fancy only to find out that she has made one of the most terrible of all mistakes and is tied for life to a husband with whom she has not one thought, or taste in common, and that she must drag through all her days the corpse of a dead love. So I implore all girls, not to be in too great a hurry to love. Don't think every green path leads to deathless affection, nor that every man whose step matches yours in a dance is your predestined affinity. Travel far along the highroad of life, and examine carefully many roads and many men before you finally take the turn that leads to Lovers' Lane. And be sure you have got the right man with you for a traveling companion. Then there are girls of a fool hardy turn of mind who are always MOTHER OFTEN TO BLAME By DOROTHY DIX |< I get a great many pathetic letters j, from old women complaining bitterly 1 that their children neglect them, and ' that they are unwelcome inmates in their sons' and daughters" homes. Certainly nothing could be more tragical than the fate of the mother 1 who sees the children that she has j borne in agony, for whom she has! tolled and sacrificed and slaved, turn from her without even an impulse of gratitude, and fail her when she needs their love and cherishing in her j helpless age even as they needed her; love and cherishing in their helpless, infancy. Xor is there any spectacle so i%volt- 1 ingly hideous as that of prosperous j men and women who repay a mother's [ devotion with thanklessness who be- j grudge a few dollars to her who has! given her heart's blood to them, who I ruthlessly kick down the patient, bent' shoulders on which they have climbed, to a higher social position, and who have no room in their full lives for the ; one who bestowed life upon them. j The old mother whom nobody wants is a very common figure, and one ■whom we may all pity, yet she hasj brought her troubles upon herself, and j her case is worth considering by every j other mother lest the same thing be-: fall her. Woman Herself Responsible for Treat ment Her Children Give Her In the first place everv woman's chil- j dren treat her just as she teaches them i to treat her. This sounds like a cruel nnd brutal thing to say, but it is true. I Every mother in the world writes her own price tag, and her children take her at her own valuation. If a woman makes a doormat of herself her children will use her as a doormat and walk over her without one thought of compunction. They will think that that ,'s what she Is there for. But if she makes of her self a fine and precious vessel they will admire and revere her as they would any other valuable possession, and handle her delicately and tenderly. The mothei who permits her three year-old baby boy to speak to her im pudently is deliberately raising up a son who will swear at her when he Is grown. The mother who slaves and drudges around the house while her children 101 l about in idleness is going to have to take in boarders to support them when they grow up into loafers. The mother who goes ragged and shabby that her children may have silly finery, who never exacts any ser vice from them, who lets them deride her- opinion, is bringing up sons and daughters who will despise her and have contempt for her and neglect her when they start forth on their own careers. She is bringing the curse down on her own head and she deserves what she gets, because she had her children when their minds and characters were plastic, and she might have instilled into them respect for her and chivalry toward her and a sense of their duty to the mother who bore them. There are other mothers who are shrined like saints in the hearts of their children, mothers to whom their children can never show enough ten sloo Reward, SIOO The re«der» of this paper will be pleated to learn that there la at least one dreaded disease that aclence has been able to cure In all its •tages, and that la Catarrh.

Sold by *ll Druggists, 75c. w Take Ball's FsmUjr puis for coMtlpaUoa, ; THURSDAY* EVENING, attracted by the roads of love that are marked "dangerous" at every curve and that are full of risk. They are adventurers in love, and the fact that the pathway they elect to travel is strewn with the broken hearts of the women who have gone belore them does not deter them or turn them back. The Fatal-Error These are the girls who marry drunkards, and rogues, and ne'er-do wells, and men who are afflicted with tempers and tuberculosis, and all the other ills to which the flesh and spirit are heir. The more of a dark brown past and dismal future a man has the more fascinating' he is to this type of girl because he offers to her the same allure that a hard and rocky'road does to a cer tain kind of traveller. Nothing that any one can say will keep the feminine mountain climber in love from risking her neck and her happiness by marrying the man she shouldn't, but 1 do say this to her be a sport. If you deliberately choose the stiff road, keep to it without whining. Don't wail and weep because your drunkard drinks, or your Lothario has a weakness for pretty faces, or your loafer won't work. Play the game. And as my first danger signal was erected for sweet-and-twenty, so my last is far sacred-and-thirty. The young girl is in danger because she thinks that in every path she has discovered Lovers' Lane. The woman of thirty is in danger be cause she has gotten so far along the road without seeing the cross path that leads to the altar that she begins to fear she has missed it en tirely, that she has passed it by without seeing it, so she is likely to turn down the next road, no matter how unattractive it is, nor where it will land her. By the time a woman is thirty nearly all of her girlhood friends are married and settled. Her own beaux begin to fall off, and the snips of debutantes commence treating her with respect that is a deadly insult in itself. Some day she discovers a pucker at the corner of her eyes and a white hair, and with a shock she realizes that she Is "getting on" in life. I Then it is that she Rets into a '■ panic and marries the widower with seven small children, or the ' faithful old suitor she has refused 1 forty times and for whom she has only a tolerant liking instead of I love, or any other man who happens to he on the spot. She is scared. She ! loses her head and turns down t"he | wrong road that leaas to lifelong 1 regret, when if she had only gone a j little further she would have found I the path that would have taken her j straight to the husband and home of 1 her ideal. So, I say, go \«prily, girls, along the road of love. rt leads to the i haven of bliss and heart's desire, but there are many dangerous curves in the road, and it's the 1 easiest road in all the world on 1 which to lose your way. derness and affection. It's all a mat ter of teaching, of adopting the right attitude toward one's children. It lies with every woman, when her children are babies, to decide how they shall treat her when they are grown up. It Is the mother's own fault if her children neglect her. It is also the mother's own fault, to a large degree, if she is an unwelcome Instead of a cherished guest in her children's households. There is many an old woman who is a good woman and a mother who has, made heroic sacrifices for her children but who is so disagreeable to live with ! that that It would take more than mortal patience to stand her. There is the meddling old woman, for instance, who ca never go into any household without disarranging its whole machinery and trying to run it her way. Too Often Peace Packs Up and Leaves When Mother Comes If she goes to her son's house she criticises the way daughter-in-law uses her best china every day, the way the children are being brought up, the size of the bills, the number of card par ties daughter-in-law goes to, the price of her dresses. If she goes to her daughter's house she nags her son-in-law to death be cause he drinks beer, and smokes, and belongs to a club, and plays goif on Sunday. In any house she enters peace packs up its dresssuit case and flees for parts unknown. And there is the querulous and complaining old lady who is a living edition of the Lamentations of Jere miah, who is always weeping and mourning and complaining all over the place, and is so sensitive and has her feelings spread around her so far that you have to walk on eggs to keep I from hurting her. And there's the argumentative old woman who can never let any subject pass without disagreeing with every body on earth, and the tyrannical old woman who wants to force everybody to do her way and think her thoughts, and the narrow and provincial old lady who is certain that the way she did in some obscure village fifty years ago is I the way life ought to be run in the! city to-day. And there are also fifty! other varieties of disagreeable and! cantankerous old ladies who are homei wreckers. When Aged Woman Is Unwelcome' Guest It Is Generally Her Own Fault Generally speaking, whenever an old woman is not a welcome guest un der any roof it is her own fault, for all of us know plenty of sweet, wise, gen tle, forbearing, broad-minded old la dies whose children worship them, whose in-laws adore them, and whom we all welcome with open arms. The moral of all of which is that we are mightly apt to get what is coming to us, and that It behooves every wo man in her youth to begin to make' herself the sort of a woman that every body will want around them when she is old.

This is a suit that is so simple that any mother who can sew can make it, yet it shows very new and smart features. The straight trousers are the preferred ones for the little boys. The mouse is per fectly straight but held in place by means of the belt, and the shield is buttoned into place. Here, blue linen with a crtpe finish is trimmed with white linen of a plain weave. The contrast of materials as well as of color is a good one but this is a suit that can be copied in galatea or in gingham, in linen or in pongee or in the silks that are used for boy's suits, if some thing very dressy is wanted. It is the material chosen that will determine its use. In style and in cut, it is appropriate for every occasion of the little boy's life. Made of gingham it will be a playtime suit. If it were made of white ribbed silk it could be used for the most formal occasions, but in the latter case, the pocket would be omitted. For the 6 year size will be needed, 4 yards of material 27 inches wide, 3 yards 36 or 2} J yards 44, with yard 36 inches wide to trim as illustrated. The pattern No. 9142 is cut in sizes for children from 2to 6 years of age. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt ot ten cents. * Jennings Likes State's Roads; Better Than Others After a trip of 1.000 miles over roads in New Jersey, Delaware end Ne%v York State President William Jennings, of the William Penn Highway, says that the roads of Pennsylvania will stand comparison with the highways in these other States. "All of Pennsylvania's roads I found better than New Jersey's," said Mr. Jennings. "Our hard surfaced high ways are as fine as New York's, al though perhaps not so numerous. New York's dirt roads may be a little better than ours, but not much. I am much pleased with the progress we are mak ing in Pennsylvania." President Jennings has assurances from the State Highway Department that the. work of constructing the new William Penn in the bed of the old canal near Speeceville, Dauphin county, and the construction of a culvert be neath the railroad tracks, will start In the near future. When he makes his September tours through the agricul tural sections of Pennsylvania Gover nor Brumbaugh will travel the William Penn Highway for more or less of a distance each time. He will pass through the town of Dauphin, for ex ample, four times. The streets of this borough are in very bad shape and nublic-spirlted citizens are making 1 haste to get them repaired before the 1 Governor's tour.

"lnternational conditions in India, save in portions of Bengal where robber bands periodic ally break out, are highly satisfac tory," says a Reuter dispatch from Simla. "The people of Bengal showed their desire to help in the war by organiz ing a stationary field hospital for ser vice in Mesopotamia. This hospital with the exception of officers com manding was staffed entirely by Ben gali medical graduates and the per sonnel was entirely Bengali. After doing excellent work, this hospital has now been withdrawn, but scope for the national and patriotic aspirations of the Bengalis hns been afforded by the raising of a double company of them. It will be trained on the fron tier and when fit for service will be sent to the front for active operations. The result of this experiment will be watched with Interest. Besides the Bengalis, three double companies of Indian Christians recruited for the Punjab Have recently been raised and are doing well. "No less than 6 Indian officers and soldiers have now earned the Victoria Cross and twenty-seven have gained the military cross. "All classes of creeds throughout the entire country held intercession services on August 4, praying in the Churches, mosques and temples for success for the British arms. In cer tain parts offertories were set aside for the aid of British prisoners in Ger many. "Relations between the governments of India and Afghanistan continue to be of the friendliest character and the latter is scrupulously maintaining an attitude of neutrality which was prom ised at the beginning of the war and subsequently reaffirmed. The north west frontier, partly in consequence of friendly relations with Afghanistan and partly owing to the punishment Inflicted last year on recalcitrant sections and partly owing to the ex posure of German attempts to intro duce the religious element into the war, is enjoying unprecedented peace. "The Afridis, the strongest and most important tribe, nave remained staunch throughout to their engage ments, thereby setting an example of loyalty to their neighbors. The only trouble some factors are the Mahsuds, a tribe of Heridary robbers and raid ers. Otherwise the restless border land is quieter than it has been- for many years.

T cannot recall who represented Mrs. Keiner at the hearing, but someone was there. Before the hearing, I talked with a number of people regarding Mrs. Keiner's condition." Dr. J. F. Good, the third member of the commission, whom Mrs. Keiner said she had never seen, said, "Mrs. Keiner was a frequent visitor at my drugstore. I had several conversations with her. She was not present at the hearing, but was represented by Thos. Vogelsong, of New Cumberland. Any further information will have to come from Attorney Reiff." • Mr. Vogelsong, who was reported to have represented Mrs. Keiner at the hearing by the commission on lunacy, said: "I was named on the committee to see Mrs. Keiner.

TWENTY KILLED IN GREAT EXPLOSION Powder Magazine in Venezue lan Port Blows Up; Sup press Information (Correspondence of the Associated Press) Curacao, Dutch West Indies, Aug. 17. Details have reached here of the disaster which occurred July 27 in. the fortress of La Vigia, at the Venezuelan seaport of La Guayra, causing the death of about twenty persons. The powder magazine in the : fort, on the hill above La Guayra blew lup with a terrific explosion and a I shower of masonry debris and artillery shells fell in all directions. In the magazines were stored a large quantity of six-inch shells and hundreds of thousands of rifle cart ridges. As this ammunition exploded there continued for three hours burst ing of shells and crackling of cart ridges. The government made efforts to suppress information concerning the disaster. It is learned however, that sixteen soldiers and two officers were killed outright in the fort and that one or two civilians met death in the town from flying debris. One of the officers who was under punishment was confined in chains near one of the magazines. A number of men were Injured. The official explanation is that it was due to spontaneous combustion. The secretary of the gov ernment, however, has given rise to sinister rumor and there are many who believe that revolutionary inter ests opposed to the Gomez govern ment were at the bottom of the dis aster The newspapers have been forbid den to mention the matter. Half a dozen peons who were discussing it in the streets were arrested. After the explosion the police compelled all citizens to leave the town and go into the suburbs. Newsies Thank Jackson For His Good Offices A delegation rrorn the Newsboys' Association visited John Price Jack son. Commissioner of Labor and In dustry, on Capitol Hill, this morning for the purpose of expressing their ap preciation of the cordial support given by his department to the newsboys' in the recent baseball game between the newsboys' and the department. More than $l2O was taken in from the sale of tickets. 50 per cent, of which were sold by the officials and employes of the department on the hill and the remainder by the newsboys them selves, the proceeds to be devoted to the sick fund of the newsboys' asso ciation. President Koplovitz arid his brother, Bernard, who is secretary of the association, together with Mike Klawansky and the Davidson boys, all made speeches expressive of their gratitude and the commissioner re sponded for the department. The newsboys incidentally won the baseball game and filed a request for a return game in the summer of 1917. THE LIMITS OF POWER Many a man who froths at the mouth over the speed demon who races his automobile along the streets and highways, at the financial mag nate who runs amuck in cornering beef or cotton or wheat, will himself buy the most powerful rifle the mar ket affords and. go out- hunting over the farms of a well-settled country, without a thought that his bullets shoot far beyond what he can see or control. He will buy an automatic shotgun that will fire six shots at every bird he sees if the bird doesn't fall before the magazine is shot off— and he will scatter that.shot frenziedly to two or three of the four cardinal points o fthe compass, recking not In his delirium that there may be men or domestic stock within range.—Sep* tember Outing. 9
