The children must be educated and father and mother have to provide the money for that purpose. The public schools help out until adolescence is reached and then comes the specialized training, without which it is becoming harder and harder for beginners to enter the earning stage. That costs money, and money in the home where there are children is usually scarce. What is to be done about 1t? I would say start the education fund when the first child i3 born. The rela- tives usually make the child presents on christening days and birthdays and high occasions and gift money ought to be used in some way that is to last. Why not in the education fund? In that way the money keeps growing and by and by it will go toward the college course and 8o last forever. But the basls of the fund must come from the family savings fund, and lately I have noticed varlous insur- ance companies and trust companies advertising. schemes for saving the education fund for the children. That seems a fine thing. Money put {n such funds is golng to be there for the child even if you should dle. That means the child’s education is secure no matter what becomes of you. That seems to me to be a wonderful idea. 1f from the very beginning a child knows that there is a fund and gradu- ally learns its meaning he will do his are of the saving and thereby start gorgeous | the most valuable phase of his educa- r some- | tion, economic thinking. That sort of stand out [child helps himself through the last vears of his schooling and makes them doubly fruitful. I am about convinced that the boy who is put through col- lega does not get as much out of it as the one who shared in some part of the expense of his education. What one works for he in a sense creates, it becomes his very own, and surely that is a wonderful quality to weave into one’s education. Aunts and uncles and grandparents who wish to show thelr care and affec- tion for the newer generation might remember this education fund. Store it against the day when the child needs it. There is little sense fn put- ting money in the bank so that we may leave it to the children when we die. Usually we live too long for the children to get much good out of it. Who wants our money when one is full grown and able to earn one's own? The few dollars we leave do little good then compared to what they might have done in the growing time of the child. Help the child when he needs the help. If you do, he will be in a position to help himself and others later on. Every year that a child spends in school adds proportionately to his earning capacity. The college trained worker commangs thousands of dollars more than the untrained one and his earning and growing period lasts much longer. It is that longer and richer life you give the child when you establish his education fund. I feel like the salesman who says, “Ladies and gentlemen! 1 heartily recommend this article. No household should be without it."” Mr. Patrl will give personal attention to inquiries from parents and school teachers on the care and development of children, Write him in care of this paper. inclosing stamped, addressed envelope for reply.

But technique isn't all, by any means. There is a vast difference between just u painter and an artist. A real artist has the faculties of form and color well de- veloped. No one without natural talent can really attain success in the field of art, no matter how much training he has received or how much he has studied. Brilliance in other vocations will be of little value to one unless he has the art faculties of the men tality potentfally strong. Thousands have tried to become artists, especially color artists, but have had no sense of color and have had to_confess failure after many years of sacrifice, because they could not make thelr subjects likellke or their scenes real. The faculties of the one an artist are loc: tier of the forehead. Here requirements by which you will know the color artist or person who can bacome one: All great artists are very wide between the eyes and a fullness or sort of bulge forward of the forehead above the eyes. The distance from the ear opening to the center of the forehead is extremely long. (Copyright. 1926.) e APRIL 29, 1926. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Pop was smoking to himself and ma sed, Willyum lend me your pencil a minnit, will you? Enything fo please the ladies, re- gardless of ixpense, pop sed. And he handed ma a long blue pen- cil with a rubber on the other end and started to reed the sporting page, and after a wile he sed, Wat are you writ- ing all this time, mother, the histry of your life with footnotes by the author? Im not writing enything, ma sed, T havent bin writing, I bin trying this pencil sharpener I bawt down town today from @ pedler on the street, it was cheep enuff, it ony cost 10 cents, but it duzzent seem to be werking so well, she sed. And she showed pop his pencil and heer it was ony half there, on account of the other half being nuthing but a pile of shavings and peeces of broke off lead, pop saying. Yee gods, my bran new pencil, 1 never saw sutch a change in my life. ‘Well Willyum, I dont bleeve it can have very good wood or lead or some- thing, because the man that was sell- ing them was putting lovely points on pencils the very ferst time he tried, ma sed. It was only 10 cents, it was cheep enuff, she sed. Yee gods there goes another point, give me back my pencil wile it still has a stump to tell the tail, yee gods, pop sed. I believe that thing is an in- fernal machine put out by the pencil trust, he sed. Well, it was certeny cheep enuff, let me try Jest once more, ma sed. Wich she did, and the point broke off agen, pop saying, Yes, it was cheep enuff, if you werked steddily all day you could abolish 12 dollers and 40 cents werth of pencils with that thing, now give me back the poor little corpse of my pencil. . O well, if your going to be impatient about it, ma sed. And she gave him back the stump saying. It still has the rubber on it enyway, and I allways say thats the most important part of a pencil. O well, even if the sharpener dont werk it was cheep enuff, she sed. Ixcuse me a wile, pop sed and got behind the sporting page agen. | §imilarity Found.

CROPPER RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—An occupation. Here is another family name belong- ing to that rather large division which has developed from occupations, but unless you remember a little twist of the English language, which is not nearly 8o marked today (though still quite regular) as it was in the Middle Ages, you are likely to miss the exact meaning of the word. A “‘cropper,” you are tempted to say, is one who crops or cuts things. He might crop the grass, but since it is the Middle Ages we are dealing with, it is more logical to suppose that he cropped the crops, that he was farmer of a farm hand. This conclu- sion_as to the occupation is correct, but if you arrived at it in this way it would be not accurate as regards the exact meaning and derivation of the word. The cropper was not called a cropper because he cropped, but be- RES. cause he had to do with tho crops, The same holds true of our modern synonym, “harvester.” The medieval English ‘and their Saxon forcbears | used the ending “er” (from the more | anclent “were,” a man) morc often with nouns than with verbs, though | our understanding of it today is that |it_indicate person who actually | performs on of the Middle Ages ular farm hand who had supervision of the growing and cutting of the crops on the feudal estates, and those of the wealthy “franklins” o commoners.

Thousands of blends that vary widely are served in the cities of America. Yet now in all the great cities of the country one special blend with a noticeable difference of its own, has roused the enthusiasm of those who are most critical. Swiftly it has won more users, by far, than any other coffee ever offered for sale. Years ago it was known only to a few discriminating families and famous hotels—a particular blend of fine coffees which was acclaimed by connoisseurs of good live ing and was served at many historic public functions in honor of statesmen and heroes. Today, its fame has been carried from Boston to Los Angeles and from Mobile to Minneapolis. Itis the leading coffeein along list of America’s principal cities—NewYork, Washington, D.
