SEX
The headmaster of a preparatory
school came to see me, and we talk
ed about boys.
"What do you do about this sex
business?" I asked him. "Do you
have a course of lectures for the
boys, or do you and the other mas
ters talk with them Individually?
Or what?"
He shook his head.
"No lectures," he answered. "I
am on the black-list of all the Wel
fare Organizations and Social Hy
giene Bands and Uplift Groups.
They are always wanting to send
speakers up to us, and I refuse to
let the speakers come because, for
some reason or other, they all seem
ed to be cracked on this subject of
sex.
"The last Bpeaker who slipped by
me talked about the Great Myster
ies of Life, and the Terrible Mis
takes which boys make, and the
Awful Penalties they incur. It was
essentially a smutty talk, sweeten
ed with moral prune juice. You
could almost hear his lips smack as
he delivered it
"When he had gone, the boys ap
pointed a committee to visit me.
"They said: 'Sir, we know all
these things. We are gentlemen,
and we are uncomfortable when
they are talked about Please do
not embarrass us with any more
such speakers'."
If you were to get all your infor
mation from looking at motion pic
tures or attending Broadway shows,
or listening to Social Uplifters, you
would conclude that the United
States has gone sex-crazy.
As a matter of fact, I am con
vinced that the two following state
ments are absolutely true:
First: Contrasting the United
States with England under Henry
the Eighth, which was only four
hundred years ago, Greece or Rome,
which represent the highest civili
zation of ancient times, there is no
question that life today is a hundred
times cleaner, more wholesome, and
freer from dirt.
Second: The two great Interests
of this country are business and
sports. Compared to these two, sex
is a very weak third.
The longer I live the more confi
dence I have in the natural ingrain
ed decency of men and women, of
boys and girls. And the more I
dislike the folks who are so profes
sionally eager to guard, correct and
Improve them.

REDHEADS
The Impression that redheaded
people are brighter than the gen
eral run is widespread. A New
York restaurant lately dismissed all
of its old staff of waitresses and
now employs only redheaded girls,
55 in all. The management reports
that the service had been greatly
improved. Another New Yorker, a
manufacturer of specialties, for
years has employed only redhaired
men and girls, several hundred of
them.
Red hair is said by scientists to
Indicate a strain of Scandinavian
blood. The Scandinavians have
been rovers for thousands of years,
and have left their strain in the
blood of the people of many lands.
I am inclined to agree with those
who maintain that red hair indi
cates a quick Intelligence and a high
degree of nervous energy.
GAMBLING
Two brothers named Dougherty
bought for $1 a ticket in a Canadian
sweepstakes on the Derby horse
race. They won the grand prize of
$179,000, went to Canada and col
lected the money. If they are or
dinary human beings, their "luck"
will probably ruin them. If they
have more than the average of
horse sense, It may be the founda
tion of a stable fortune.
"Easy come, easy go," Is a rule to
which there are few exceptions. I
have known many successful gam
blers, but only one or two who were
able to keep their money after they
had won it. One family prominent
in New York society owes its foun
dation to the old Louisiana Lottery.
After "cleaning up" In New Orleans
the founder of the family had sense
enough to invest his winnings In
property which has steadily Increas
ed In value, and his grandchildren
hobnob with the Astors and the
Vanderbilts. But for every such in
stance as that, I could point out a
dozen where winning something for
nothing has literally ruined men
who might have amounted to some
thing if they had to work for every
dollar they got
NAMES
The newly-discovered planet will
be named Pluto, following the cus
tom of giving classical names, such
as Murs, Venus, Neptune, Saturn,
etc., to the heavenly bodies. That
is a more sensible system than pre
vails in most parts of this country
In Riving names to towns and
places.
A classical-minded official of New
York's early days gave names out
of ancient Greece and Rome to the
unsettled townships, whence we
have such cities as Syracuse, Rome,
Utica, Troy, Niobe, Ilion, Ithaca,
Carthage, Pompey and many others
whose names mean nothing what
ever in America.
The early settlers lacked Imagin
ation. Otherwise we would not find
in one county In New York the
town of Chatham, North Chatham,
East Chatham, Chatham Centre and
Old Chatham. Portland, Oregon,
got its name because the two men
who founded the settlement tossed
a coin to Bee which should name it
One came from Boston, the other
from Portland, Maine, and the Port
land man won. And St Petersburg,
Florida, got its name because the
man who first settled there was a
Russian.
PIONEERING
More than four-fifths of Alaska is
as yet unexplored and unmapped. A
group of young American engineers
will start soon surveying a highway
through the Alaskan wilderness.
I talked the other night with a
young German nobleman who was
about to start for Peru in an air
plane, with American engineers, to
Investigate the practicability of a
railroad over the Andes to open up
new land for German colonization.
The same day I met an American
engineer about to start for Abys
sinia, to build a dam there.
The world is still full of adventure
for those who have the same sort
of pioneering spirit which actuated
the forefathers of us who live In the
United States today. It will be cen
turies before the whole world has
been fully explored or even partly
settled.
WATERWAYS
There is a revival of interest In
the project to connect the Great
Lakes with the sea by a ship canal.
Some Interests want to make it an
international route, using the St
Lawrence River. Others advocate
the taking over of the Erie Canal,
which connects Buffalo on Lake Er
ie, with Albany on the Hudson Riv
er. Army engineers have reported
that a 25-foot channel or even a
deeper one, all the way from New
York to Buffalo, is entirely feasible.
. The opposition comes mostly from
the railroads. The Erie Canal was
built before there were any rail
roads; otherwise it never would
have been built. It made New Yprk
the dominant seaport through
which commerce to and from the
newly-opened West flowed.

VEGETABLE SALADS.
Lemon jelly is also a good founda
tion for many vegetable salads. A
good tomato jelly is made by stew
ing two or three ripe, red tomatoes
until a thick liquid results and
straining that through a fine wire
sieve but not through cheesecloth,
as that keeps out the color into
lemon jelly that is still liquid. When
it is cool it may be poured into a
ring mould, into individual moulds
or into a square pan if in the
square pan it is cut in even sized
blocks when it is ready to serve.
Diced cucumbers are delicious in
this tomato jelly. Mixed fresh
cooked vegetables are also good in
this lemon-tomato jelly. A mixture
of either fresh green peas and diced
carrots, or string beans and pickled
beets is especially good. The jellied
vegetable salads should be served
on lettuce, and are usually prefer
red with mayonnaise dressing,
though some persons prefer French
dressing.
HOT WEATHER BREAKFAST
Everyone appreciates an attractive-looking
breakfast table, and
nearly everyone occasionally feels
utterly tired of the usual breakfast.
The ordinary household's break
fast dishes must not take many
minutes' preparation in the morning
or even ask for much effort the day
before. But often we can have dell
cious things for breakfast with very
little trouble beforehand.
For one thing there is fruit Be
sure that the fruit you serve Is
fresh and clean as to skin and cool
Most of the summer fruits are very
little trouble to serve. Whole peach
es, plums or pears, halved musk
melons, and summer berries are all
both easy and tempting.
LEMONS
In making French dressing for
salad, many persons prefer lemon
juice to vinegar, and to some per
sons it Is more wholesome. By way
of variety it is worth trying, espec
ially when the dressing is to be used
with a fish salad. A few drops of
lemon juice add much even when

"Ahvays at Your Service"
vinegar is used and prepared may
onnaise is often improved by the
addition of a little fresh juice Just
before using.
There are many excellent lemon
desserts. Just run through your
favorite cook book looking for them.
Lemon Jelly, lemon pie, lemon fill
ing for cakes, lemon corn starch
pudding, lemon egg pudding, lemon
rice pudding, lemon tapioca, lemon
pudding sauce, lemon ice, lemon
cookies, lemon ice cream, lemon
tarts, will appear to you as more or
less familiar desserts.
You will find, too, that a large
number of fruit desserts are Im
proved by the addition of a little
lemon. Prune and fig desserts are
among them and toward the end of
the season apples are very much Im
proved if cooked with a little lemon.
When you bake bananas ,lemon
juice prevents them from tasting
insipid. Almost all made fish dishes
call for lemons and broiled fish
needs a garnish of lemon quarters.
Sweetbreads and very often veal
dishes are improved with lemon
juice.
