It pleased mightily the big audiences at the Rex theater and gave them many hearty laughs. Miss, Percy is most happily cast in this story. She looks the part of a boy at times---ungil her pretty blonde curls ‘fall. from under her roguishly set cap. Dressed in overalls and playing tricks as boys do, she is fine food for gossip among the women of the village. And of coursge she an- noys the mothers with marriageable daughters when she captures the handsome stranger for a sweetheart. In her successful efforts to run bootleggers out of town so that they will not sell whisky to her father, she gets into many ludicrous situa- tions. ‘“The Tomboy" is .a picture well worth seeing.

At least, one good mark may be set down for the English sparrow, so com- monly regarded as a pest. He is fond of the seeds of dandelion, and when the flowers have given place to the fuzzy “blow-balls” spends much of his time cleaning them from the lawn. In this country, as in England, the sparrow Is also fond of young peas, and often ruins the early crop by picking oft flowers and leaves. In some Chicago suburbs it is now impossible to raise peas without protecting them with a net. Whether the sparrows’ good of- fices In ridding the lawn of dandelions will offset his attack on the peas is a problem.—! nce Service. Transylvania Silkworm Culture.

There is no reason why flowers and vegetables should not be grown to- most popular flowers, was originally planted with the intention of using the tubers as a potato substitute. The scarlet runner bean, grown by the acre on the farms of England, is most often used in America as a climbing vine around the house; in fact, there are many persons not aware the beans are good to eat. The ideal garden is one which com- bines flowers, vegetables and fruit. Such a garden should have a place on every farm and back of every sub- urban home. Oftentimes the vegetable plot can be surrounded with a border planted on two sides with small fruit like raspberries, currants, gooseberries and grapes, and on the other two sides with annual and perennial flowers. “May Restrain Billboards.

KEEPING MOTHERS AND " THE CHILDREN TOGETHER It is against sound public economy to allow poverty alone to cause the separation- of ya child' from the care of a good mother. ' This is the prin- ciple back of the mothers’ pension system, the administration of which is discussed in a report entitled ‘‘The Administration of the Aid-to-Moth- ers Law in Illinois” recently issued by the Urited States Department of Labor through the Children’s Bu- reau. The Illirpis statute of 1911 was the first mothers’ pension law in the country. At present 40 states in the Union have such a law. The administration of the Illinois law of 1911 was placed with the judges of tHe juvenile courts thru- out the state, and very wide discre- tion 'was vested in the court. In 1913 the Waw was radically altered and the authoility of the courts was definitely liniteqf. Minor changes have sincce been made.
