Much work and a small amount of wear are not a good combi- hation, especially for a busy person. ‘There is a way, however, of recondi- tloning the heels which leaves no trace of mending and is as speedy as it is satisfactory. The ankle and heel are ing machine and a seam taken deep enough to include the torn area. It is surprising how completely de. ceptive such a method of mending be: comes, The back of the heel and lower stocking portion look like that of new hoslery. Most stockings will stand a little reshaping at the ankle, and if the seam is well tapered as it progresses up the stocking leg the mend is unde- tectable. One very well dressed woman, ex- ceedingly particular about her footwear ln% stockings, prefers this method of mending, even when the darn required would not be very large.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Law of Kindness. n her tongue is the law of kind- ness.”—Proverbs, xxxi:26, We do not commonly think of kind- ness as something binding upon us. We think of it as something that we may render or not render, according to our pleasure. But here Solomon speaks of kindness as & law. “In her tongue is the law of kindness.” And this law is an binding upon us as any other law. Kindness is by no means a matter that we are free to exercise or not, just when or where we may please. It is a law that demands obedience whether it suits us or not. We are under obligation to show kind- ness whenever or wherever there is need and opportunity, even though the time and occasion may not dispose us to do so. And let it be remembered that we suffer from disobedience to this law, just as we suffer from disobedience to any other. The -penalty is a worse imprisonment than being imprisoned behind iron bars. If we make a pirac- tice of withholding kindness, we soon Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. November 13, 1860.—The agent of the Associated Press in Washington has sent out the following telegraphic dis- patch, which was printed in tdoay's Tnewspapers: “As far as can be ascertained, there is no disposition either on the part of the administration or of gentlemen of with the present Southern movements, except, perhaps, in a friendly spirit. It is now probable that the President will soon issue an address or proclamation, lsas the election of delegates to the South Carolina convention is to take place at an earlier day than was recently anticipated, and in consequence there would not be sufficient time for the general circulation of an appeal through the President’s annual message, as orig- inally contemplated. The subject was (last night) under consideration. “It is understood that Corwin of Ohlo can, if he will, occupy a prom- inent position in Mr. Lincoln’s cab- inet, and in the event of his declining ‘to do so_an Invitation will be exteded to Mr. Ewing or Mr. Vinton of the same State. Messrs. Graham and Bad- ger of North Carolina are also confi- dently mentioned in this connection.” ‘The correspondent adds that Presi- dent Buchanan has headed a subserip- tion list for the relief of the sufferers in Kansas with $100 and given assur- ance that he will appeal to Congress in their behalf. “The Washington National Volun- teers,” says a dispatch from Washing- ton, printed in the Mercury of Charles- ton, 8. C, “proffer their services to South Carolina in case of her with- drawal from the Union. Southern men here are with South Carolina.” ‘This dispatch is dated “Washington, November 7,” and is contained in the edition of the Mercury just recelved here. In reprinting it, The Evening Star today adds: “Well, it is certain that many of the ‘Volunteers' left this city rather suddenly the day after the assault upon the ‘Wigwam’ and we dare ]stlny now they have gone to South Caro- 8. It will be remembered that during the excitement here over Mr. Lincoln's election on the night of November & a big crowd, cheering the *“National Volunteers,” formed a procession on Pennsylvania avenue and marched to the Republican “Wigwam,” corner of Indiana avenue and Second street, ar- riving shortly after midnight, and not long after a Republican meeting there had adjourned. imprison ourselves in the narrow prison of selfishness and an unhappy existence. The most miserable people in the world are those who habitually neglect to be kind and shut themselves up to a per- sonal and selfish life. On the other hand, obedience to the law of kindness brings high rewards. We are made to be kind and helpful to one another, and it is through ful- filling this law of our being that we realize the most beautiful compensa- tions of life. We realize the best in our own lives in proportion as we live in the lives of others. It is through put under the presser foot of the sew- KEEPING ME BY JOSEPH en I was asked what trait of the mental make-up I should place at top of the list I had no hesitation answering, even though the question ‘was asked at a dinner party, where not too serious an answer was expected. as the master quality sensibility. you are keenly sensitive to sights sounds and the feel of things, and tes and odors no less; unless you vividly to the world about you— world to begin with—you the fundamental conditions to share in finer living. Not that you can't Mve successfully, satisfactorily and happily without it; millions do it, per- haps even more readily in a rough, give-and-take world than those sen- sitively endowed. And yet it remains the master quality—the master key to life’s cholcest possibilities. Sensibility extends far beyond sense like all else, subject to large cultivation or neglect. You can nip it in the bud or neglect it at the root. Fate and circumstance may do either. But the quality is ever the same; and, however essential, it grows only in favorable soil, Your sensibility is born Many and convincing are the cases in which one member of a l’.m:“{t alone has it, and all the rest ckit. I have in mind a hard-boiled, well- intentioned, plodding business man with four sons, three like him, one a lawyer, the second a realtor, the third a merchant; but the fourth an artistic architect, whose world the others could not share or even comprehend. He lived in and by a different set of val- ues—the values conferred by sensibility. He saw, and feit, differently the sur- roundings which he created for himself, and his clients spoke in a language which the ordinary sensibilities of his able but insensitive brothers could not understand. This was a contrast in esthetic sensibility—a quality indis- pensable to the artist—and more plain- ly so to the musician, who enters his world through the gate of tone. Sensi- bility to form and color make the Pli':"lw and the sculptor and the deco- rator. Important as is esthetic sensibility in shaping the master quality, emotional sensibility is yet more dominant. This makes the man of deep feeling, the poet and the dramatist, the humanitarian in the best sense, and support that signifi- | cant company of men and women—of women notably—who react vividly, in- tensely, discriminatingily to the finer touches of social relations. Their sym- pathy is an art, their understanding an intuition, their presence a radiance, their influence a blessing. In no rela- tion does the master quality so richly come to expression as in the art of hu- man relations. Yet sensibility has its intellectual ex- pression no less. It makes for the nicer discrimination, the critical insight, the choice of phrase, the subtler shades of wit and humor, the amenities of com- pliment and the refinementse of appre- clation. A fine mind, no less than a fine feeling and a fine taste, is built upon sensibility. Combined variously, though | ever in rich measure, the issue is a per- sonality living on a high plane. Is the master quality reserved only | for the few—for th: gifted and the elect? To the measure of creative ex- pression, perhaps, yes; but for appre- ciation, decidedly no. The life of sensi- bility is open to th: many who seek it, | elect it, cultivate it with such measure of fitness as their natures confer. The rule for all is to live as appreciatively of the finer things in life as endowment Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. *Mrs. Brown promised me a whole nickel mind her baby an’ wouldn't | course, their relatives and friends in so showing kindness to others that the greatest good comes to us.

Children are much too sensitive, to intense in likes and dis- likes, too capricious and self-willed emo- tionally. They must be toughened to bear the blows of reality and to lose their fears and disgusts, to learn to en- dure without upset and to subject sensi- bility to the sterner commands of duty. Bubflthey must not be dulled or hard- ened. ; Sensibility, too, is gained at a price. The sensitive shudder more often than they thrill; the depths of their sorrows and despairs exceed the common meas- ure even more than the height of their thrills. The dull may be happier, yet lose the momentary acme of bliss open to the sensitive. Neither for comfort nor for happiness should sensibility be carried too far. We agree that we must be built for a workaday world, yet may still make a worthy place in it for the master quality. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. For the benefit of new readers who are eager to make use of my depart- ment but do not know exactly how to do so, I like to pause at least once a year and explain our mutual responsi- bilities toward getting the best results with your bdby and mine. Let me explain, first, that this i5 not a medical department. It offers no advice on medicines, on the treatment of adult ailments, or any problems which rightfully belong to your family doctor. The mother only retards the progress of her child toward health when she waits for an answer from the department on a medical question. I beg her not to do this. However, I want to be of help in the hundred and one problems that arisé daily in any household where there are children. I have been keeping in step with the latest and best methods of feeding childrén, with all the new ad- vances in the knowledge of behavior problems and parental attitudes toward them.. In fact, for 11 years, almost 12, I have been doing nothing else except studying and dealing with problems of infancy and childhood. So if the baby's diet nesds adjust- ment, if you don't know how and in what amounts to feed cereals, orange Juice, cod liver oil, etc., if baby isn't gaining as he should, if he refuses a bottle or a cup at the time proper for these steps, if sonny is getting sassy and stubborn, if daughter has told her first lie, if you are preparing a layet for baby—ask me about it. You can see the vast field to be covered and the numerous problems which have nothing to do with illness, but are jyst the feed- ing and care of normal babies and chil- dren and the parental attitudes toward behavior problems of normal children which every mother should know. Of course we must have rules which help us both, I have published hundreds of leaflets covering almost every common problem and outlining diets for children from the age of six weeks up to adolescence. If you will state your problem carefully, teliing the age and weight of the child, and the weight at birth, state the prob- lem and tell me how he is being fed and something of his home surroundings . . . . and, if you remember to inclose with your letter a fully self-addressed, stamped envelope, we will send you either a leaflet that covers your prob- lem, or a personal answer. The one and only necessity is that important stamped envelope, with your name and full address on it. I can send as many as three leaflets in one ordinary size envelope, but no more. Please do not ask for “all of the leaflets” as it is impossible to send them. Likewise, we do not send out large orders of leaflets to be distributed to clubs or organizations of any kind. The department is furnished to serve the readers of this newspaper, and, of far as possible. If the question is of general interest and you have not asked for a personal reply, it may be answered in the paper. In that case keep in mind that the answer may not appear for some time. So to write, “I want to see this on Satur- gny, -’: I'm li;el“m‘ w:m on sund:ly," an impossible request to grant.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,~November 13 (N.AN.A).—If the race for bigger and better sound pictures keeps up—and bigger ones are on every producer’s schedule—there will be definite occupa- tion for extra talent once more. Extras have been a colorful and hobo- hemian angle of the village existence, often overlooked in the scintillance of the successful. The extra who has ar- rived is invariably more humorous and bizarre than the extra who is still a member of the crowd. The regular extra is shy of visitors, feeling more at home with his own gang. His familiars know the hit-and- miss quality of his income, and are not likely to suggest some expenditure which leaves him purple with embarrassment. There is a freemasonry existing among them which prompts a division of the spoils when finances are good. This Soclalistic angle of extra talent's exist- ence keeps him eating at any rate. ‘There is the extra who accepts calls from central casting and travels the outlandish _distances between studios for $5 to $7.50 a day for a year or so. 1If opportunity doesn’t knock at the door, he drops out of the ranks—goes behind shop counters or home to mother. ‘Then there is the professional extra who has been occupied thus for many years. Directors rely upon these last to lead mobs, give instructions to be- ginners, keep the misguidedly ambitious from stepping into the front of the camera. They receive a little more than the average in recognition of their ex- perience. Sometimes one seems qualified for a “bit” part, and the director chooses him because he knows the ropes; or, again, he lives on in the doubtful existence for years and gem. content to play bridge on the set between sequences and to accept dinner invitations from skittish gg:lt(m who must have dancing men ut. In the last few months 16,000 calls were made for bit and extra players. During the first months of talkie making the extra knew the bitterest days this gelatin village has ever seen. Discouraged by the strange turn of events and robbed of work by the small casts required in the early experiments in talkie production, the extra all but gave up. But the extra is not made of stuff that gives up easily. Many of them hung about Hollywood, believing in the return of silent films. Some of the wise ones took up tap dancing. They are utilizing this knowl- edge on the talkie sets today. One*lot keeps 100 singers and dancers under stock contract. And this was unheard of in the days of silent drama. It affords a steady income, but it doesn't afford the golden opportunity that a flash of a face meant in the days before talk came in, and with it sophis- tication. i mh’am a press agent—story about Sally ane: “Not & vegetarian, but seldom eats meat—not more than once or twice a year, and then only at formal dinners, when it would be awkward to refuse.” Perhaps some kind soul, reading this, will ask her to a third formal dinner and make it a big social year.

Joseph Schenck, not usually talkative, at a luncheon made one of the most interesting statements of the year re- garding coming productions. “Wise producers,” he sald, “are through with established musical com- edy hits, plays that have had road show and stock runs, and books that have been widely read. The big thing of to- morrow is to get good originals, write new music for our musical films, and try to give the public good dramatic material not seen before. “We—all of us—in the motion picture industry did not realize the value of this at first. ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ was an excellent thing when it was written, but who wants to pay money to hear it now? The world has learned to move fast, it is easily tired, and mo- tion picture producers must capitalize | on this desire for change. “Especially since radio became a fea- ture of every home has music been PARIS.—Honey-colored shadow lace with leaf-brown tulle borders makes a who designs it, extends the cape sleeves MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. half a season, perhaps an entire season; we can hear it now and again on the orchestra as we dine, but when it comes over the radio sometimes three and four times a night it gets to be an entertain- ment menace. “Take one of the old hits with these familiar tunes made dangerously fa- miliar by air concerts and try to invest it with new life. It can’t be done. The ‘No, No, Nanettes’ must lle buried with the thing of their day—we want new material. “The original cost of a picture is nothing to consider at all,” went on Mr. Schenck. Then hastily added: “Not that I encourage wastefulness in my staffs. I don’t. But a million dol- lars spent judiciously on a picture is well spent if good results come. “The ordinary producer of an Eastern success spends several hundred thou- sand on a good, big musical spectacle. ‘Then he has a weekly salary list of, say, $25,000. In two years’ run (if the thing is & big success it will run two years) he has a couple of million dollars. And all this in one theater in one city. “When we finish with a movie—'have it in the can,’ as we say out here—it is done for all time. The salary list is over, From then on the picture is sheer profit. We can afford to give the fiuy?llc good pictures, and we should do Arthur Hammerstein, who has come to Hollywood at Mr. Schenck’s sugges- tion, both verbal and financial persua- sion, says he abandoned the Broadway racket because of ticket speculators. He will make stories informed by origi- nal and new music, backgrounding the tenor of the tale as music backgrounds the story in opera. “‘Opera has lived through all these years,” says Mr. Hammerstein, “because the music tells the story more than the oibich mak Which makes me suspect strongly that Mr. Hammerstein has read a few opera librett, Nevertheless, the story he outlined for us as his opening pic- ture is strongly reminiscent of “Manon Lescaut” in a modern setting and with mcl?emn changes as well as incidental music. Despite Mr. Hammerstein's bellef in the supremacy of canned entertain- ment, David Wark Griffith, who admits Arthur Hammerstein is a genius of sorts, feels that until canned music is something much better than at present light opera as well as grand need have no fear of immediate extermination. There will be a good field for it in those cities where it is available and for those persons who have the price. Mr. Hammerstein referred to Ramon arro as Raymond Novarro. ‘Ray-moan,” prompted Mr, Schenck, with a smile. “That isn't the way we used to pro- nounce it on Third avenue,” said Mr. Hammerstein. ‘When the village begins to smile at itself the village begins to grow up.

Continuing the discussion of suit raises, the second situation under which third hand should advance his partner’s bid of one to two is when dealer bids a suit and second hand doubles. What is third hand required to hold to be able to raise his partner’s bid from one to two? Second hand’s double indicates strength in the other three suits, or strength at least in three suits, and it is possible that he is -short ‘in the sult bid by dealer, therefore it is prob- able that your partner has bid with ample strength in his suit, but is lack- ing in side strength. Therefore, strength in trumps in this position beyond the normal support in trumps is not as val- uable as strength in the other suits. But third hand can safely raise his partner from one to two if he holds normal support in raises. He should bid two to prevent the fourth hand from making an in- formatory bid in answer to his part- ner’s double. To illustrate: Dealer bids one heart, second hand doubles and third hand holds the following: 4 7, ds—4, 2. Clubs—Queer, Jack, 8, 6, 4. By second hand doubling the one heart he tells his partner he strength in three suits and is asking him to bid one no trump if he (fourth hand) has the hearts stopped; if not, to bid his best suit. With the above holding, third hand would advance hi one heart to two hearts. The third situation is when your partner has bid a suit and there has been an intervening bid of another suit. To raise your partner you should hold normal support in trumps, plus two tricks, and the most valuable extra trick you can hold is one in the suit bid by your opponent. The following is an il lustration of such a hand: Dealer has bid one heart and there has been an intervening bid of two diamonds and tHird hand holds the following cards: Spades—Ace, 7, 5, Hearts—8, 6, Diamonds—Ki Clubs—10, 8, 3, This hand contains normal support in trumps in the three small hearts, a trick in the ace of spades, and the card which makes your raise possible is the king of diamonds, a stop in the suit bid by your opponent. The fourth situation is when dealer bids a suit, second hand passes and the third hand advances his bid to prevent a lead-directing bid by the fourth hand and by this advancing bid tells his part- ner that he prefers the suit bid by him to any other combination. He should have at least four tricks in his hand. To {llustrate: Dealer bids one heart, second hand passes and third hand, holding the following raises his part- ner’s bid to two hearts: ame p Clubs—Ace, king, 7, 5, 3. ‘With this helding you would not bid & no trump, due to the blank suit, and you would not bid two clubs, because this would be a denial of normal sup- port in trumps for the heart bid. But with a strong hand like this, raise your partner’s bid of one to two.

Banana for a Baby. Ripe banana is not only highly nutri- tious (460 calories in the pound, com- sared with apple, which has 290 calories, and orange, which has 240 calories in the pound), but is in itself & fairly well balanced meal, providing 1.3 per cent protein, 0.6 per cent fat, 22 per cent carbohydrate, 75 per cent water, 0.8 per cent mineral salts, satisfactory quanti- ties of vitamins A, B, C, even a bit of vitamin E, though not enough vitamin D (which prevents rickets) to meet the requirements of human nutrition. In vitamin C (which prevents scurvy) ba- nana will serve very well instead of orange or tomato, or may be used in the baby's diet for this purpose as & vnirhum from orange juice or tomato juice. I'd gladly stretch & few points and hazard my hard-earned reputation for bclnr poor but honest to assure earnest yourig mothers that banana might be used in lieu of cod liver oil to provide an adequate ration of vitamin D in the baby’s diet if it were so. But, alas! the fates are against us. It does seem that we had just about administered the coup de grace to the old castor oil com- plex and were ready for three rousing has | chortles from all the sad young ones, when along came this big push for vita- min D, which makes it incumbent on all doctors or health suthorities to promulgate the slogan, “The Healthy is | Way—Once Every Day Cod Liver Oil the Baby.” Believe me, I'd never flavor the ba- nana with cod liver oil if I dared omit it. But when I think of babies raised without any cod liver oil I have dread- ful visions of thousands of little bow- legged, pigeon-breasted, hump-backed, square-headed, hammer-down, pale, flabby bimbos who got that way because their parents failed to feed 'em enough vitamin D or didn't even let the poor little tikes have any free sun baths when sunlight was to be had without cost. Several months ago I told about the remarkable advantages Dr. Ludo Mey- senbug of New Orleans has found in banana diet for bables from 4 months to 2 years of age. Not exclusive banana diet, but just a reasonable amount of well ripened banana every day in addi- tion to the regular milk diet. It starts some puny infants gaining steadily in weight; it completely cures some who have been suffering from undernutrition with marked constipation as one of its manifestations. Here it seems worth while to tell all the dumb young mothers that under- feeding, insufficient food, is the usual cause of constipation in infants, and re- sort to physics, enemas and other arti- ficial aids is only a contributi factor. But, shucks! when these dumb young mothers gre armed with some antique " i Babies "FRE “There are times when a baby is too fretful or feverish to be sung to sleep.
