LAWBREAKERS ‘There are so many laws on deck it's | rather hard on Hiram Heck, who can't { obey them all. He would respect their | | every curve, he's deeply anxious to ob- | serve the statutes great and small. For every year new laws are made and all of them can't be obeyed except by su- permen, and supermen are hard to find; the man of common garden mind falls down again, again. The laws conflict ; they're so involved no mortal chap can rightly see the trail. The thing that's legal off in Maine in Kansas is unsafe, insane, and puts a man in jail. Great jurists try to make laws clear; they are expounding by the year; and when their work is done some other jurists come along and show the first ones wildly wrong, their logic illy spun. The busy legislator feels he isn't earning room and meals unless he frames some laws. Unless he puts new 1 | | |laws across he feels he is a total loss, a traitor to the cause. It's rather hard on Hiram Heck, who's anxious not to make a wreck of any law on file. He'd have a record without flaw, he wouldn't bust the smallest law; in him there is no guile. But every time he walks downtown he'll likely knock a statute down, an ordinance absurd; and cops may come and run him in for hitting some illegal sin of which he'd never heard. The Ten Commandments give the law from which a pilgrim soul may draw a rule and guidance find. The or- dinary run of men can quickly learn Commandments Ten and bear them all in mind. But who can learn a million laws, decislons, writs and legal saws and all the court decrees when jurists divers viewpoints hold, and one law of | knocks another cold, and justice seems & wheeze?

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. ht, 1930.) Always Difficult. Some one has described a cynic as “an who has been let down.” And I have come to the conclusion that most of the women I know who have become a bit cynical about their house- wifely duties are so because they began in a too optimistic mood and have | simply been “let down” when they have discovered that drudgery and routine really are & necessary part of their job. ‘Too much has been said of late years, it seems to me, about the simplicity and of housekeeping. Young wom- en have been led to feel that with a well planned house, up-to-date elec- trical equipment, a good recipe book and a nice little budget system they could eliminate all the anxiety and hard work that their mothers before them accepted as a matter of course.

Warm-Day Cereal ‘The problem of taking care of and preparing breakfast cereal is always a more difficult one in warm weather than in Winter. But it is foolish to give up the cereal habit in warm weath- er because you find it a trifie more dif- | ficult to take care of the cereal. Remember that there are certain | cereals, notably corn meal, that do not | keep well in Summer, and fortunately these are the heavier cereals that ap- | peal less to the warm-weather appetite. There is always an advantage in hav- | time. You are far less apt to tire of any one sort if you do not have it every day in the week. This means having to keep a package of cereal on hand sometimes a couple of weeks. A good plan in Summer is to empty the package of cereal, when once it has been opened, into a glass jar with a tight cover, so as to preclude the pos- sibility of insects or mold. Make sure that the jar is perfectly dry before put- ting the ‘cereal in, The ready-cooked cereals appeal in warm_ weather to many persons who find the hot-cooked cereals not to their taste when cold weather has passed. These keep well, but are apt to become soggy when once opened, espcially in humid weather. A good plan is to keep such cereals on a shelf somewhere near Jour kitchen stove—where the air is ry. The problem of cooking cereals for breakfast is often a troublesome one. Most cereals ought not to be cooked hastily. They are improved if cooked longer than the time stated on the covers. Moreover, it is especially im- portant to cook children's cereals sev- eral hours. This must then usually be done the day before, although there are some persons who find the freshly cooked cereals much mors palatable than the cereal cooked the day before and reheated.

I am 19. Have neld a good position as stenographer for the last three years and support myself, &0 I am no burden on my mother. Nevertheless, she nags me inces- | santly about getting married and racks my nerves every evening and all Sunday by dwelling_continually on the subject. I hope to marry some day, but want to wait until I fall in love and the right man comes along. What shall I say to her? A STUBBORN GIRL. Answer: I trust you will keep stubborn and not let your mother drive you into an unsuitable marriage just to get away from her n: As to what to tell her to silence her, goodness only knows, for while it is comparatively easy to shut up a mother for the time being, she won't stay shut up. She will be harping on the same old string within the hour. You might tell your mother, however, that you belong to the new eman- | cipated generation of women who do not have to marry either for a meal ticket, | or social position, or an interest in life, and that this being the case, it is your glorious privilege to marry or stay single as you please, so that you can make of marriage an avocation instead of a vocation. | You can tell her that you can earn your own bread and butter by your own honest labor and so you do not have to sell yourself to any man for a meal ticket. You can tell her that no stigma is now attached to being a spinster, rather, the bachelor girl is looked upon with tion and envy, and so you do not have to marry to keep for being an old maid. You can tell her that the life of the business girl is full of interest and thrill and agreeable companionship, and so you do not have to marry in order to have something to do to fill in your time and keep you from being bored to death or lonely. - And you can ask her what she finds in the lot of the average woman, married to a poor man, who has to scrimp and save and slave and wrestle with a house full of children, that makes it so alluring that a girl should rush into it with any man just for the sake of being married? How is such a woman's lot superior to that of the business girl who works in an office a definite number of hours and has a pay envelope for her own use? If you love a man enough it is all right to marry. Love repays you for all you go through, but marriage without love has no compensations to make it endurable. ‘Why women, who know from their own experience how heavy a burden even a happy marriage lays upon & woman, should be so eager for their daughters to marry is a mystery nobody has ever solved. But they are. They seem to feel, somehow, that it is a reflection upon themselves for their girls to remain single, and so they nag their daughters about marrying until only too often they push them into unsuitable marriage that the girls would never have contracted if let alone. So,-strengthen your backbone, Stubborn Girl, and refuse to let your mother sacrifice you to her match-making mania. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.)

March 15, 1859.—A curious phenom- enon, noticed in many parts of the District of Columbis and between here Stian'of Washlugte s ntion of Wasl nearby. It was noticed two days ago, when persons living in the vieinity of Bladensburg discovered that the flelds near that town presented & sin- gular appearance, gleaming in the set- ting "\::1 like seas :r silver in restless, perpetual movement. It was soon observed that the phe- nomenon extended everywhere—all ob- Jjects, including trees, fences and even the plowed ground being completely woven over with exceedingly delicate spider webs. Then the same thing was noticed nearer this city and later throughout the District. o Hereveen Bladensvare . and ee ween s n t is not covered with “What does it portend?” everybody is asking. The earth has often been visited by hostile swarms of insects, but many persons are wondering whether this is not the first instance of the occurrence on a large scale of the “antitode”— at least, in this part of the country— in the form of spider webs to catch harmful insects. “‘Are we to have no more mosquitoes?” some are asking. “Is the stock of the mnew cylinder fly-catching machine to fall beyond re- demption?” others are wondering. It is hoped that the entomologists will examine the spider that is respon- sible for these webs and tell, first, whether he will bite and, second, whether he will grow any larger.

A Sermon for Toda BY REV. JOHNN R. GUNN. “What should a man give in change for his soul?”"—Mark viil. 37. In the preceding verse, the question is asked, “What doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?” Suppose a man has made that barter? Suppose he has forfeited his soul—that faculty by which he is able to perceive and appreciate the beautiful, the spiritual, thl:‘ divine—in his efforts to its ~ pleasures, its usemen would soon discover that he has made a bad trade.
