They are not only indispensable in keeping us in- ITEMS THAT ARE HELPFUL SHOULD BE CUT OUT AT ONCE AND FILED. formed about what is going on in the world at large and our own vicinity in particular, but they provide one of the handiest of household articles. Crumpled up, they can be used to start a fire, or laid straight and smooth they can be put beneath a rug or carpet to save the wear and tear of the floor covering. For this purpose they are decidedly useful if the floor is uneven or the boards have begun to splinter. Newspapers are also just the things to use when putting garments away against the ravages of moths. Most of us made good use of them for this purpose a short time ago, no doubt. At the present time they will be found more useful when we go on an out- ing. They afford reading matter of interest, and after the-pages have been thus enjoyed they can be laid on the ground to sit on. They will do double duty now, for they will pro- tect against dampness and thus make it safe to sit down shoudd the ground be moist. Also they will protect dainty dresses from getting grass stained. ‘With all their many advantages, the home maker has to exercise care to prevent the papers accumulating too rapidly before using. It is a mistake to have a clutter of newspapers about a room. Only the one for the current day should be in evidence. One reason why more are apt to be about is because something has been found that we want to keep and yet we do not im- mediately cut it out and lay one-side. If a day goes by without this being done, and another paper is with it, neither can be discarded lest we dis- card the wrong one! We appreciate that the clipping has just the informa- tion we want to keep.. It all sounds so foolish when one writes it down, but there are very few households where just this thing does not oc- caslonally happen. Clip Promptly. ‘We make so much: extra and need- less work for ourselves by getting into a habit of procrastination of this kind. Do not let the item elude and cause trouble. Cut it out immediately. If we haven't library scissors at hand, We can use a paper cutter or a pen- knife. I often see men in trains cut- ting out items neatly and deftly with their pocketknives. They leave the paper. If you have neither scissors nor pocketknives, you can crease the paper and tear out the articles as neatly as possible. We should clip out items and put the rest of the paper to good use or discard it. We can make the most of newspapers in every way, and we should. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

And if you think all ciams are helpless, you are quite mistaken. Ask Greywing, the Gull; he knows. .There ien't much that Greywing doesn’t know about the seashore. It's his busi- ness to know. Greywing likes clams to eat. You remember how Danny saw him get a clam dinner by car- rying clams high up in the air and dropping them on the rocks. These were the so-called soft-shell, or long ~ =— Hlasv GREYWING KNOWS JUST WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE RAZOR CLAM. clams. If you have ever been to a clambake and had steamed clams, you know what they l:& o})’su see, Grey- wing knows what is good. 55! there is another member of the clam family quite as deliclous eating, which Greywing is seldom smart epough to get. Often he sees this clam, but usually that is all. This clam s long, quite six inches long, and narrow, and shaped very much like the handle of an old-fashioned razor. It doesn’t look as if it were able to take care of itself. It doesn’t look one bit smarter than any other clam. But try to catch one, as Greywing has tried more than once. Greywing knows just where to look for the razor clam. He knows a cer- tain sand bar where at low tide this elam may be found with the upper end ©of the shell projecting from its hole in the sand. Always it is very tempt- ing and Greywing many times has ed to temptation end darted at one of these clams in the hope of ecatching it. But at the first move, down it goes, and Greywing has noth- ing but an-exasperating hole in the sand to look at. - Now, the surprising thing is that this clam can go down into the sand faster than you could dig down with a spade. Yet he has no feet, he has fio hands, he has no claws; to look at him you wouldn‘t think he had a thing to dig with. '; have sald_this clam has no feet. This is true. But it has what is called & foot. It isn't like the foot of a bird, or an animal, or any one else you know of. It isn't shaped like any foot. Tt looks like merely a long fleshy part pushing out fromthe lower end of the shell. But it is with this that the clam can burrow so fast in the sand. i T e o B et ul s 8 k. h ‘flch!anm in the sand. Then through the other end the clam draws in water. and forces this water right down into S¥jie fooly 8o that the oot swells out S W. BURGESS and pushes away the sand around‘it. Then that point becomes a little disk that clings to the bottom and the clam pulls its shell right down. Then does it all over again, so that it goes down in the sand very fast. This clam _is also considered very nice eating by other than Greywing the Gull, but it is so clever in getting out of sight in the sand that It is not often obtained as food. ‘While this particular clam is an ex- ceedingly good digger, there is another little clam which is a good swimmer. Wouldn't Danny Meadow Mouse have been surprised it he could have seen a clam swimming? = You know, a clam doesn’t look a bit as if he could swim. Most of them cannot. But this par. ticular little clam, which 1s only about three-quarters of an inch in length, can swim for quite a distance with: out once touching bottom. There is still another clam called the Sand- bar Clam, which comes to the surface of the water and skips along by means of its powerful foot and the flapping motion of the valves of the shell.

E. writes: “My -baby grl is 43 months old and weighs a little over 11 pounds. She is very good and sleeps well and almost never cries. 1 feed her 2% ounces of mait food every three hours and she seems satisfled. “I am told that she should have orange juice, as she is apt to have rickets. = She cannot keep it down. Every few days I try to give it to her and she spits it up. She takes prune juice all right. I cannot even get her to take cool boiled water; she spits it right out. “The baby is slightly constipated and I use milk of magnesia for that, which is generally successful. She also gets cod liver ofl daily. “She cannot sit alone as yet and her back seems weak. Is her weight all right? Do you think if I give her 3 ounces every four hours it would be better?” Answer.—The surprising thing is that your baby is satisfied on such a meager diet. At ¢ months a baby can easily take 5% or 6 ounces of food every four hours and this should be, in addition to the malt food, which is only a part of the formula, fresh cow’s milk and bolled water, Without the cow's milk I am afraid you are simply courting trou- ble, rickets and otherwise. Babies cannot get along without milk in some form and if your baby's diet is just the malt food she cannot possibly be receiving the essentials for growth and development. The baby really shows no inability to digest orange juice, since she acts toward the water exactly as she acts toward the juice. Won't you write for leaflet No. 6., This may help you in correcting that tendency to spit out foods. The baby is not a good wegiht, 12 pounds being the average for 3 months. I would change the diet, con- tinue the cod liver oil, try tomato juice instead of the orange juice, and do not urge the baby to sit up until her back is strong enou gh. Please ask for the No. 3 leaflet also. What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are variable. In the morning, they are in the afternoon they are favorable, and after sunset they assume a negative character. Al- though not much success is promised for any task that may be commenced during the early hours of the day, a great amount of benefit can be de- rived from the carefu! preparation of plans, as, although the signs are in- imical to activity, there are not pres- ent any evidences of discouragement or pessimism. The afterncon is, of course, the appointed time for doing that which you have determined to do and success will crown all conscien- tions effort. Relaxation is strongly recommended for the evening. Children born tomorrow will, with the exception of one or two very slight ailments, enjoy infancies free from care or trouble. The signs, how- ever, indicate that between the ages of 10 and 12 years they will require much watchful care, as at that time they are threatened with at least one grave illness. There is nothing, how- ever, to cause alarm and they will at- tain normal adulthood. Their disposi- tions will be very amendable and, ow- ing to their natural charm and frank- ness, they.avill be able to get away with pranks that would only insure punishment for others. They will not be either ambitious or studious. They will gain more by personality than by toil. . If tomorrow is your birthday, you are more fastidious than congenial, more exacting that complaisant, me- ticulously careful in your plans and able in their execution. You are what the world calls a fussy person, without confidence in the ability of any one to do what you want done in the way you want it done. You are prone to overlook basic essentials and to devote all your energies to detalls that are often Insignificant. This con- dition is all the more unfortunate, as you possess wonderful foresight and unerring judgment. You could ac- complish much if your mentality were even of the “wholesale,” rather than the “retail” variety. You are, scrupu- lously honest and severe in judgment of others, and intolerant of their mis- steps. It would be difficult for you to find a congenial mate, as, although willing to give much, you ‘will de- mand much in return. Your marriage should be only effected after careful thought, and it should not be dis- tinguished by haste or impulse. Well known persons born on that date are: Charles Stewart, naval of- ficer; Willlam Mathews, author; John H. Brown, inventor; Ballington Booth, philanthropist; Mary Anderson, ac- tress.

For cMotor CTrip DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX The Wife Who Married When SheWasVery Young and Asks Some Questions About the Family Sta- tus—How to ‘Write a Lettertoa Young Man. DEAR MISS DIX—Ten years ago, at the age of 16, I married a man of 27 whom I did not love. He is away from home much on business, leaving me entirely alone with our three chiidren. My husband expects me to stay at home, save his money and drag my life through with loneliness. gayety. . He objects to my or to dances, and never takes me anywhere himself. going out with my friends, Yet I love life and For 10 years I have endured this life, but now I feel myself slipping, yet I cannot think of divorce on account of my children. What must I do? only 26. Shall I spend the balance of my life in misery? Iam UNHAPPPY. Answer—It is one of the little ironies of life that we are punished more severely for our mistakes than we are.for our sins. Because when you were a silly, ignorant, inexperienced little girl of 16, knowing nothing of men or of life, you blundered into marriage with a man for whom you did not care enough to make the sacrifices of wedded life sweet; you doomed yourself to one of the marriages that are nothing but endurance tests. ~ For whether marriage is a failure or a success depends almost altogether on what the wife feels for the husband. Most husbands in most marriages are cut off the same bolt of cloth and have about the same amount of good qualities and flaws in them, and what a woman makes of them depends on how well she is satisfled with her bargain. The woman who loves her husband is on her tiptoes all the time. is interested, alert, thrilled. Everything is worthwhile. She Her affection blinds her to her husband’s faults and magnifies his virtues, and she has a sacred joy in sacrificing herself for her family, It is just because love, and nothing except love, matters to a woman in marriage that I am forever urging girls not to marry at 16, but to wait until they are grown up, matured, until they have seen something of the world, until they are sure of themselves and know what they want in a hus- band. Kl Having made your mistake you must pay the price of it. But you can make it higher or lower by the way you settle your inevitable. debt. ‘That is You can make it a bankrupting price by permitting your mind to dwell continually on what you have lost, on what might have been, and by picturing to yourself some fairy prince who would have been gay and romantic and a perfect. lover and had every quality that your husband does not possess. You can magnify your husband’s faults by keeping them forever before your mind. You can make your lot unendurable by continually thinking of its hardships. On the contrary, you can discount your bill against fate by just accept- ing it and paying the score with philosophy. You can be thankful that you have a comfortable home and a husband to support you, instead of being one of those forlorn women whose lives are one long struggle with want, and who are never certain of having a shelter over their heads. You can fill your life with your children. Surely no woman need be dull or lack for companionship, or know the ache of loneliness who has little arms about her neck, little minds unfolding before her eyes, little feet to guide into the right road. And even If you are not sentimentally in love with your husband, if he is good and kind to you. you can surely grow into a beautiful friendship with him if you will, and that is what the most successful marriages settle down into after the hectic thrills and fevers are over, ‘When all is said, our happiness is in our own hands to a very large extent. frenzy of revolt. We can make ourselves contented, or we can lash ourselves into a And if you will quit thinking about what might have been, and just make the best of what is, you will find that you have stumbled on the secret of how to be happy though married. e e e DOROTHY DIX.

Both are deadly dull if they are cut and dried and thought out beforehand. They must be spontaneous. The only advice I can give is to make your letter friendly, cheerful and gossipy.

Put yourself into your letter and make it seem as if you had just dropped in for a nice chat.

Electric Fans. “I want @n electric fan.” Perhaps the speaker is and you have just walked into the electrical shop, impelled by the heat of the day to buy a fan—just any fan. Now, it is not likely to be an expensfve purchase for two reasons. In the first place, since, unlike the electric fron, in which heat must be generated, the fan gencrates only power, it can be operated at negligible expense. In the second place, if you are sensible in your selection, the fan is likely to be quite durable, and so economical from another standpoint. You should consider such factors as the size and shape of the room .or which you intend it, and the voltage of your house, as well as the mate- rials and workmanship of the fan. Among the types of electric fans you will most frequently see are the oscillating fans and the non-oscillat- ing fans, the ceiling fans and the gyrating fans, The non-oscillating type is a good choice if your room is very long and narrow. if the room is large enough to require several fans, buy non- oscillators, and point them in the same direction, preferably toward the exit. The oscillating fan is the best if your room is fairly wide for its length; you should point the center of oscillation across the room. Ceiling fans and gyrating fans are suitable only for places so large that the cther Parking With Peggy yourself, “The straws which tell the way the wind blows are worn by the me: fans are ineffective, so, if your home is of ordinary size, you will have ro use for them. When you have decided upon the general type of fan that fits your needs, consider such factors as dura- bility, noiselessness of operation and ease of ofling and care-taking. The frame and motor bod: be of some material which is ex- tremely strong, but which is lizht erough to be carried about easily. Steel is an excellent choice. Blades should be so designed and placed at the proper angles that they will operate with a minimum of noise, without sacrificing efficiency. These points you can judge quite simply, merely ~ by putting the fan into operation. Ease in handling is facilitated by a well shaped handle. Ease in carink for the fan means that it should necessitate ofling only once a season, and that its oiling system shculd pro- vide that surplus ofl which may escape from bearings shall be re- turned—otherwise you will have to wipe the grease from the fan every few days. - Colonial Gingerbread. This is the name of a delicious loaf cake which is served at certain well nown dining- places in southern Cali- rnia. To make the cake, put one cupful of New Orleans molasses in a mixing bowl with half a cupful of butter or lard and half a cupful of brown sugar. Over this pour a cupful of boiling water in which a level des- sertspoonful of soda has already been dissolved. Stir well and let the mix- ture cool, then add two and one-half cupfuls of flour, one-half a teaspoonfyl of cinnamon and one-half a teaspooh- ful of ginger.

People often say, “I smell coal gas.” This is impossible, as it has no odor. ‘What they smell is fumes rising from the furnace which are generally sul- phur and other bad-smelling gases given off by incompletely burned coal. Probably there is coal gas-in the air, too, at such a time, and it is well to seé that the furnace has enough air to burn the coal completely. The in- sidious thing about coal gas is that it produces drowsiness very slowly, and if the occupants of a house are asleep when coal gas escapes, they may be asphyxiated quite painlessly and in- sensibly in their sleep. In mines, aboard ships, etc., canaries are often kept because they keel over from the first whiffs of coal gas, and so give warning. Our illuminating gas con- tains coal gas, and a bad-smelling gas is added purposely just to give warn- ing of a leak. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday's Questions. 1.

The chap who likes to boss, to domineer, to lord it over his fellows either in business or social life. will be found to have a very broad. square, projecting chin. This type never is satisfied in any sort of position where he must take orders | and he does not make a good employe for that reason. He longs for authority, for pewer to boss and lay down rules of con- duct for others, but he will not wel- come any suggestions from you— even if he realizes they are practical. He probably would resent suggestions, but later, without admitting they ! were your ideas, put them into practice. You know that a square, projecting chin bespeaks combative and destruc- tive qualities. Its owner will smash obstacles whether physical or mental, In physical combat this type goes in to win by fair or foul means. He at- tacks or defends with whatever weapon he can lay his hands upon. In argument he will more likely use the broadsword than the rapier, but he will not hesitate to wound to the quick if necessary to win. He is a good fellow to let alone, unless you really are interested in a flerce contest. He takes credit for all the good things tha' come abeut, but blames the miscues on others. (Covyright. 1926.)

XXVL “I didn’t know that such things happened in real life.” Leila fairly flung the words at him. “I thought such situations as this were confined to the movies, but I see they aren't. I can't tell you how I despise you. I haven't words for it. I suppose you never stopped to think that you could be absolutely repulsive to a woman. You wouldn’t, you're too con- ceited for that.” | ‘With a swift movement, she was across the room and had flung the door open. “Will you leave this room at once?"” she said, still in that low, tense voice. “Or shall I ask Kuwa to put you out?” On Barry’'s face there was an ex- pression of amazement that was al- most ludicrous, It changed slowly to one of baffled rage. “You mean that?” he asked at last. Leila laughed almost hysterically. “Mean it, of course I mean it! Not only that, but if you persist in annoy- ing me, I shall have to go to your father. I told you once that I couldn't afford to lose this place, and I don't intend to do so because of you."” As he came toward her she stepped into the hall. If he attempted to touch her she intended to scream for help and Kuwa, who 'was on duty just be- low, would be sure to hear her. But to her surprise, he walked past her without a word. The next moment she was back in Mona's sitting room with the door locked. For a time she wavered between hysterical laughter and tears. This situation was really funny if one had sense of humor enough to laugh at . The colossal conceit of Barry Kingsley! His assurance in thinking that he could buy his way into her favor with gifts, dazzle her with his ability to spend money, simply be- cause she hadn't any herself. She wanted to laugh, but instead she found herself crying. It had been somewhat of an ordeal and her nerves felt raw. She wondered if Barry would leave her alone now that she had threatened to go to Richard if he persisted in annoying her, and ds this thought crossed her mind, she could not hedp contrasting the two men. How different had been Rich- ard's offer of assistance and how ap- parent the fact that he respected her in spite of the position she was oc- cupying. If she were forced togo to him she was sure he wouid see things from her standpoint. He would never think as Mona had, that she had encouraged Barry by flirting with him. While Leila was crying in Mona's sitting room, Barry was in his own room sprawled in a chair. On the floor at his feet was the blue velvet box where he had thrown it savagely on his entrance. His face wore an ugly expression. He had been so sure of her, o certain of his_tactics. He had ex- pected her to be dazzied by the glit- tering costly thing hat he had bought her and instead she had spurned his gift. Not only that but she had made him feel ridiculous. She had said he was repulsive to her. Did she really mean that? Certainly no woman had ever told him such a thing before. He had learned it for the first time from his mother’s maid. Barry tried to tell himself that after all it didn't matter. The world was full of beautiful women who were willing to be agreeable, but for some reason h&® could not do this. Per- haps it was because Leila symbolized the thing he couldn't have. Perhaps it was because through humbling his pride, she had aroused the good that was buried somewhere in him. At any rate he could not hate her for telling him that he was repulsive to her, no matter how much he wanted to do so. She was more d ble than ever because she was more re mote. He got to his feet finally and pick- ing-up the blue velvet box tossed it into a drawer. Then he did a thing that he could never remember doing before. He went out for a walk. (Copyright, 1926.)

The commodore. whose navigating skill keeps his bark out of reefs, shoals and hot water, local squalls excepted, has a room in his home fitted up with practical gymnasium apparatus, and for a short time every day he and his 12-year-old boy—the commodore is the luckiest guy about some things—hop in there and do a movement or two of the Brady sym- phony with impromptu variations. This habit, besides having an excel- lent influence upon the physical wel- fare of man and boy, serves to draw father and son closer together, tight- ening and strengthening that bond between them which too eften be- comes attenuated in the material days. After they have warmed up, the commodore and the boy put on the gloves and box a few rounds, and of late this has become real boxing and the commodore, a lanky cus- tomer, has to hump himself some to stay with the lad. Now that is what I should call the ideal relationship between father and son. It is going to be mighty hard for that boy to betray the confidence his dad puts in him. The kind of training his dad is giving him, and, of course, I have merely chosen a sin- gle detall for {llustration, is bound to make the young man play the game squarel; That the abstract princi- ple of child training, of which this is a concrete view, is the right one is evident, I think, in the spirit of the understanding which exists between these two boys or men, as you prefer- ‘Whenever the boy wants the truth about anything he puts it up to dad and dad gives it to him as man to man. It is an old story and a sad one that I hear so often, “My father never told me anything,” or, in the case of a daughter, “Mother always put me off by saying I'd find out when I grew older.” A friendly critic tells me that he feels convinced T am wrong when I advocate the teaching of the truth to children from the very beginning—at least the truth about human life. My critic does not clearly explain just what he would teach the children about this sacred question, but per- haps he means they should g0 on as they always have, in such dim light as they may get from their ordinary re- ligious instruction. Many religious leaders seem to hold that opinion They scarcely take into account the enormous influence of unreligious or nonreligious factors in the information or misinformation, not to call it edu cation, of the child. If we hesitate to teach the child the truth, and the vicious or unreligious or ~immoral source of ‘information or misinforma- tion is not only available to the child but literally thrust upon him and made as easy and as attractive as pos sible, the child's mind is certain to be debauched. I do not know what the religio instruction of the commodore’s son but I believe the boy is getting the finest possible moral training—a pre- cept in every wallop.
