j STAND ON YOUR OWN FEET
Bv DOROTHY DIX. The World's Highest Paid Woman Write? i
I The one greatest source of happi
ng in the .world is independence.
There ls'no other Uiriil that ever ani
iaes the human breast that is so
mnletely soul satisfying as the feel-
r that one is adequate to cope with
i's destiny, and that one has the
LV length to stand alone.
suJ;hQ bread of dependence is bitter,
nr. matter how freely it is given. We
D" ncvcr at home in another's house,
hp our welcome to it ever so cordial.
When all is said, the clinging vine
nothing but a poor, floppy, weak,
inlnclcs parasite for which Ave all
hare a secret contempt, because it
nnlv lives by hanging on to something
ctroDger and with more backbone
than it has itself.
Peofilo who are dependent are in
variablv miserable, discontented and
dissatisfied because their knowledge
of their dependence robs them of self
pect. Worse still, dependence de
velops in people a host of the most
contemptiblo devices. They become
fawners, flatterers and lickspittles,
servile puppets of the hand that feeds
I and clothes them.
411 of the sturdier virtues have their
root in independence. It is only those
who can look the world in the face,
secure of their ability to fight it and
take what they want from It with their
own good right hand, who do not have
to lie or steal, or get the things they
need bv devious ways,
So interwoven with our well being,
temporally and spiritually, is indepen-1
dence that the first duty of parents!
is to teach their children to stand on
their own feet, metaphorically as well
as physically. Strangely enough this
Is a duty that most fathers and moth
ers absolutely neglect, and stranger
still they neglect it through love.
" Their parental passion makes them
selfish. It is so sweet to them to feel
that their children look to them to
supply every want, and depend upon
them "for their every need, that they
cannot deny themselves the pleasure
of playing Providence to them.
They never give their children any
money for whose spending they are)
responsible. They never let their
I children pick oui ineir iucj
never permit their children to go 'into ,
any enterprise on their own account..
They never let them take any author-
itv or any risk of their own judgment, i
Father and mother pull all the strings
and the children are just marion-,
ettes that dance to their parents' j
whims. j
All of us kuow men who have been
so completely managed by their fa
thers that when they are middle aged
tli flv tiro cfill in rninrl nnfl rhflmpter. I
nothing but little boys. We all know
maiden ladles fifty years old who
have been so dominated by their mo
ther that they havo neer even bought
a pocket handkerchief without mo
ther's advice and assistance, and who
still havo to ask mother's permission
to go down town, or have a second cup
of tea.
In keeping their children dependent
on them these parents do not realize
what a cruel thing they have done,
and how they have robbed their boys
and girls of initiative, and suppressed
their originality, nnd made them the
sport of chance. For in the end the
parents must die, and then these old
t children are left helpless, with no
body to guide them.
The first thing that should be taught
every girl and boy is not to depend on
h any human being' but themselves.
They should be taught to do things for
1 themselves; to rely on their own Judg
ment; to fight their own battles, and I
if they fail to learn from that exper-1
ience how to do a thing the next time
they will not fail.
Every girl and boy should be taught
how to make a living, because when
you bring it down to Its last analysis,
independence is mostly money in our
pockets. Nobody Is free who does not
know where the next meal is coming
from, and the fear of hunger and
want is the beginning of crime.
Teach boys and girls to stand on
their own feet and make their own
living and you havo taken from their
- pathway the sinister devil that so of
ten drives them into wrongdoing. It
is the boy who is a weakling, who
cannot stand alone, who becomes a
gangster and a criminal.' It is the
poor, clinging vine girl who has nev
er been taught independence who
trails in the mud of the street
And if it is important for the young
to stand on their own feet, it Is no
leas necessary to tho happiness of tho
old. Of all heart breaking spectacles
on earth, none is so pitiful as depen
dent age, even when It is dependent
on those who are bound to it by nat
ural ties, and who are willing to hon
or them.
Often tho tragedy of dependent old
age is inevitable, but in many cases
it could be prevented if people would

If men nnd women would only rea

they would deny themselves tho fool

Nor would men and women who are
still able to work give up their jobs to
go nnd live with their children and be
dependent, If they could foresee the
humiliation and bitterness of spirit in
which they would pass their days.
They would stand on their own feet

first passenger train from Anchcraj;?

over the .laski rr.nge and north oC

Much of the winter traffic frrjm in

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19. A method
Of testing the ability of any person
to sing, -without seeing "him or even
hearing him, has been devised by
Theophilus Fitz of this city, recently
director of music in the State Teach
ers' college of Colorado. This meth
od, which Professor Fitz says is his
"contribution to science," is baaed
upon a series of measurements of tho
head cavities that he declares he has
worked down to exact mathematics.
Ho doos not find it necessary to see,
touch or hear the subject, as his work,
which ho terms "voice diagnosis." has
become as definite to him as mathe
matics. All he asks is that certain
meansuroments of the head be taken
correctly.
After learning these measurements
and the sex of the subject, he makes
his own calculation vas to the size. and
shape of tho head- cavities and an
nounces whether thc subject, if a girl,
is a soprano or contralto, and if a
youth, whether he should sing thc role
of a basso or of a tenor robusto.
"Marie often sings soprano just be
cause Susie does, although she ought
to be singing contralto," says Profes
sor Fitz. "And Bill insists upon slng-
1 ing base, because he thinks it is manl, Hiil
when ho really ought to be a tenor." bHIll
Persons with round heads make tho jflMI
best singers, he says, because their WUl
head cavities are tho most symmetry Sffl
cal; those with long heads come next Bill
and those with oval cranium rank last. Hfil
"It is nouesense," lie says, "for peo- Hnll
pie to- pass four or five years study- Bill
lug music to ascertain whether they ill
can slug and if so, what part, when Bllll
by this method, they can obtain such Bill
a decision immediately." ' fl HI
