BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Clean-up Days. ‘When things get very messy we have clean-up days. Of course it would be better not to get so messy, but then we do and all that is left after that is to do the cleaning up. But the burden of the task should not be placed on the children. Whenever | the Women's Club decides on a crusade | | of clean-up they descend upon the chil- | | dren. They want the children to learn | to keep the streets clean. They ask | that schools teach the children not to | litter the streets. “Every Monday morn- ing our streets and parks are an un- sightly mess because of the torn and scattered newspapers. Impress upon all the children that they are not to scat- | ter their papers about. Get them to| talk to their parents about it. All of | us must co-operate in this matter of cleanliness.” Let's see. How many of the newspa- pers scattered about have been discarded by children? How many elementary school children, especially those in pri- | mary schools read and toss away news- papers? High school children do not litter parks and streets with newspapers for the same very good reason. The children might be accused of throwing fruit skins on the streets, but most of that is done by the adults. Chil- dren eat most of their meals under su- pervision of one kind or another and | that takes care of the refuse. It is right to teach children to keep streets and parks clean. It is part ul{‘ the civic courses throughout the grades | and the teachers do not neglect their | task. It is the children and their teach- | |rent, and it was one of the dirtiest | swims he has ever had.

Fitzgerald swam the Hellespont with the daughter of the American Ambas- sador to Turkey and the son of the American military attache.

For in that year the Ohio Representative, who would then be 75 years old, intends to attempt again to climb Mount Rai- nier in Washing- ton. Fitzgerald scaled Mount Rainier five years ago on his fiftieth birthay, the first Representa- tive ever to do so. He was so elated that he promised his guides that he would be back at the age of 75 and Tepeat the feat. Fitzgerald, chair- man of the House committee on revi- sion of laws, has roamed the world in quest of adventure and thrills. He has swum the Hellespont in Greece, follow- ing a historic course.

The habits, the precedents, the way of handling situations you establish then, the attitude you and your husband ake toward each other will be fixed | during that crucial year, so watch your step when you start stumbling down the | dangerous road of matrimony. Don't go to live with your mother or his mother or any of your in-laws if it is possible to avoid such & peril. Go by yourselves, where you can have your little spats without having any third party standing around to referee the fight. No two persons of different sexes, brought up in a different environment, with different ideals and points of view on every subject from politics to pie, can adjust themselves to each other without some trouble. If there is no onlooker er they have had their little quarrel, they kiss and make up, and no harm is done, but with mother on the sidelines urging Tom to assert himself as head of his own nouse or to weep over Mary and “poor-thing” her, it starts a row that not infrequently ends in wrecking her home. Besides, the presence of any third party in a home is a bar to confidence: Rainler as the greatest thrill travels. Up 10,000 feet, he ever getting down alive.

With short sleeves, the elbows have no protection; they sun- burn, they ‘are rubbed full of grime, they grow callous from contact with hard, rough surfaces. This is the time to be very careful about daily, or more than daily, treatments to make them nice-looking at all times. Last thing at night scrub thenr hard with a fairly stiff hand brush and soap and hot water. Then rub them with massage cream, and rub for a full min- ute to work in as much cream as the skin will take up. Wipe this off lightly, leaving some cream in the skin. When you wash and dress for the| evening, wash the elbows once more | with soap and water—just enough to| get them clean.

But its vir- tue is only temporary; it will do no pgrmanent good. Your bedtime treat- ment does that. A soft, smooth elbow is a decided or- pament to an arm; an ugly elbow a serious disfigurement. But as bad el- bows can be made nice-looking in two minutes by either of these treatments they are nothing to be depressed about. But you must watch your elbows. Never neglect them so they look like corns on | the arms! And keep the skin well fedi with thick cream at night, for then the elbows will stand the hard wear of the | day without showing it. Sharp elbows often have been taken f a sharp tongue. Even nest, rpest elbows will grow rounder and fatter if given a nightly rub with the proper sort of cream. And en hand lotions will help make ugly elbows presentable if rubbed on daily. Esther D. K.—Sa tea merely changes the gray or white hairs to a tan shade so they are not so conspicu- ous.

I have se eral today which I will gladly pass on. From one reader a cure for liver spots: “A teaspoonful of sodium phosphate (powder) in @ coffee cup of water, the water having been boiled. This, on ris- ing in the morning and continued for two weeks, bleached and cured a lot of liver spots on the skin." Here is a wart remedy: “As soon as butter beans have matured on the vine ~ out every morning and pull off sev- al leaves (butter bean leaves). \em by rubbing briskly on each wart. Do this every morning for a week and fnga few weeks the warts will have di: ared.” My correspondent adds, “I ould like to know the name of one| arty that this remedy has failed.” An- bher reader sends the following sug- bestion for warts: She takes baking oda and rubs it into them and claims hat in time this will absorb them. Here's another excellent suggestion om a New Jersey reader: “I keep a pox of cornstarch on the kitchen shel bove the sink. Every time my hands ave been wet, after I dry them on the owel, I use a powder puff and dab my hands all over with cornstarch. This ceps them from getting chapped. I Iso do it before_putting on rdbber loves for housework. It preserves the loves and makes it easier to turn them side out when I take them off.

Blackboard Substitute. One mother says: Sonny was quarantined at home with the whooping cough, but as he was not really ill I thought it was a shame for him to get far behind in his schoolwork. So I brought his books from school and every morning for an hour or so we did his lessons. I found that it would be so nice to have a large blackboard, but did not care to invest in one, so I got a several kinds of paper I found that blue- | print paper made an execellent thing to write his words and numbers on. We got some chalk and a regular black- board eraser and worked as well with these tools as we would have on the board they used at school.

(Copyright, 1930.) Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. If you really wish to have a touch of elegance in your home there is no bet- ter way to accomplish it than by the addition of a corner cupboard similar to that shown in the illustration. The design is delicate, the workman- ship of the best and it speaks of re- finement throughout. In combination with Sheraton or Hepplewhite chairs and table, this cupboard is ideal, and it will take care of your rare bits of china, glassware, silver, etc., in a truly artistic manner. If your room is small and there is only one corner in which such a cabi- net may be used, one will do a great deal to give distinction to the room; but if e is space enough a pair would be truly gorgeous. Living room, dining room or break- fast room may be improved by the ad- dition of one or two of these cupboards. For the living room one is more ef- T fective than a pair, whereas in the din- ing room two really seem to be needed. Unless - the breakfast room is of the formal type this cupboard would not be appropriate. i (Copyright, 1930.) Baked Vege;ble lrnh.

We already have narrated how he, while at Gottenburg, gave the news of a disastrous fire which had just broken out at Stockholm, 300 miles distant, al: though there were not any natural—as we would say—means by which he could know of the catastrophe. This instance of his clairvoyancy is perHaps the most historic of all, yet he figured in many other remarkabie happenings. ‘There was, for instance, the case in which Mme. Marteville, widow of the Dutch Ambassador at Stockholm, was called upon, soon after her hus- band’s death, to pay for a silver service which the Ambassador had bought from Croon, a well known Swedish gold- smith, Mme. Marteville was convinced that M. Marteville, a man of the most pre- | cise habits, must have paid for the| | service, but could find no receipt among ihls papers., As the sum involved was | large, she invited Swedenborg to see if he could communicate with her hus- band about the matter, | The mystic readily agreed to make the attempt. Three days later, while Mme, Marteviile was entertaining company at coffee, he called upon her. “I have conversed with your hus- band,” he said coolly. “The debt was paid seven months before his death and | the receipt is in a bureau in his room upstairs.” “But the bureau was thoroughly | cleaned out,” said the lady, “and the receipt was not found.” |~ “There is a secret compartment,” re- | | plied Swedenborg, and he went on to tell | how the Ambassador had described it to | him. The whole company went up.| The secret drawer was located. In it was found the receipt. ! | .. A more mysterious case was that of | the secret of the Queen of Sweden, | Queen Louisa Ulrica was the sister | of Frederick the Great of Prussia, A/ highly intellectual woman, not at all | superstitious, she sought a meeting | with Swedenborg for the purpose, it seems, of “deriving sport from his imag- ination,” rather than “obtaining infor- mation from the other world.” At her wish, Count Scheffer invited Swedenborg to court toward the close of 1761. The Queen asked him if he would “undertake a commisison to her lately deceased brother.” ; “With all my heart,” rejoined Sweden- borg. ‘It should be explained that Louisa | Ulrica’s “latély deceased brother” was the unfortunate August William, Crown Prince of Prussia, brother of Frederick | the Great, and destined to succeed the latter as King of Prussia until the bat- | tle of Hastenback. As Augustus William lost this battle, Frederick compelled him to retire in disgrace. He died within a | year. | Swedenborg came to the very next| court reception.

The fact was that the Queen | had kept secret the. circumstances of | her correspondence with Augustus Wil- liam. Sweden and Prussia had been at | war and she could not let it be known at Stockholm that she was writing to some one in the enemy country.
