NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1914, CESSARY SOMETIMES TO DEVELOP ECONOMICAL TRAITS IN CHILDREN This Is Based on Theory That in Order to Prevent a Pee- son from Being An Old Miser He Should Be Given a Chance to Be a Young Miser. ‘Whenever we are especially appre- j ensive lest a child develop a certain unlovely trait, we are told to stop it n infancy. But sometimes it seems oes to develop the trait in in- ncy, to make gure that it does not op out later in life. This is perhaps n the theory that every dog has his ; It not sooner, then later. For grample, it would seem that about the nly way to prevent a person from coming an old miser s by giving m a chance'to be a young miser. The oollecting instinct appears in the child at about seven or eight of age. and shows ftgelf in num- less ways. The saving of but- ané ping may give way to the 00i- oting of seashells, The little girl i\ves xcraps of ribbon and lace quite m much because her instinct to col- 't is developing as because the rib- ons and laces appeal to her sense of auty, | At first. there is not much con- ciousness in the process.

For with the dp- to make collections comes pportunity to cultivate system a,nd orderliness that is hardly exceeded Iby. anything found in the home jthe school. To make a collection means lo have a fairly definite idea of species and: genera and orders. If it is trans- fers that make up the collection, they lcan be sorted by colors and sizes and l@ar lines; they can be arranged in lehronological order, or in alphabeti- 681 order; they can be bundled in tens by hundreds or by dozens or 8. ‘It we are collegting *coupons” that come with soap or with cereals, we have similar opportunities to #ort and classify and arrange. Later when we come to collect postage stamps, the opportunities for classifi- cation are just as great, although they are apparently restricted by the tradi- tional conventions of the game. And the mother will be interested to note that all of this gathering and . classifying implies a place for rything and everything in fits place—a much more forceful impli- cation’ here than ever came from precept or example or moral stories the child that missed the KEENEY’'S WEEK OF JULY 6 WILL CARPENTER Novelty Ioller -Skating THE REGENT TRIO Vaudeville’s Favorite Singers BEIMONT, DARRELL AND CO., Comedy Playlet « BOOTH AND LEANDER ‘Whirlwind Cyclists KELLY AND JUDGE Knockabout Comedians FOX’'S THEATER.

When noticed it s likely to seem trivial and wasteful precious time that might be put Jbetter use, and is accordingly apt ‘to receive discouragement. When it comes tures, parents will good taste comes to question the picture postals and post- age stamps, they will the expense. Nevertheless, find it worth while to encourage, only passively, this impulse to make a collection and to develop it in- tensively. Let the cording to his interests, to the best taste of we shal is most promising. In the country there is the op- portunity to collect leaves of all the kinds of trees or shrubs; or to collect flowers or flying seeds or insects. If we discourage the col- lection of birds’ nests or eggs, or ot skins of animals, it is not because these things take up more space in the house, or cost more money to get and to preserve, but because they involve cruelty that the child can understand. At the seashore one can gather seaweeds and mount them neatly on white cardboara squares, or seashells or other queer flotsam cast up by the tides, In time one's interest in collect- ing butterflies as curios may disap- pear entirely or give way to a scientific interest. In time one’s in- terest in picture postals may dis- appear entirely or give way to an interest in etchings. Whatever hap- pens, however, may be considered in the nature of a safety-valve, it the collecting interest has really had its opportunity. For this is where the miser comes in. Sooner or later every young per- son, and especially the boys, will be confronted with the need to gather the symbols of material wealth—money will come to be considered not only very desirable, but a necessity. If the child begins to concentrate his collecting interests on money, he will have every opportunity to develop this interest as the main concern of his life. And that s what we mean by a miser, one whose interest is in the accumula- tion of money for its own sake, as we say, one who is concerned with having more, but not with using. Thig is the childish instinct to gather directed toward coins and bills—instead of buttons and trans. fers. The misery of a miser lles in the narrowness of his interests, not in the nature of the instinct which he in- dulges. To save children from becoming misers we must broaden the interests along which these in- stincts may find their outlet. A Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

Household Notes | If peas are a trifle old, try boiling them with a lettuce leaf and a table- spoonful of sugar in the wacer. Summer bed spreads should be me®. of material that is easily washed. There is nothing prettier than the in- cxpensive dimity. Tin is an undesirable material for a coffee pot. Tannic acid acts on such metal and is apt to form a poi- jscnous compound. Two small pointed knives and a small serubbing brush, for the purpose cf preparing vegetables, should be found in every kitchen. Meat should be removed from the paper as soon as it comes from the market, otherwise the paper will ab- sorb some of the juices. If one's finger is swollen so tightly that a ring will not come off, the best way to remove it is to dip the finger in ice-cold soap suds. In summer food must be carefully watched or it will spoil. If the milk bottle stands on the doorstep a min- ute too long the milk may turn sour. A little vinegar added to the water in which vegetables are washed will prove effectual in removing dirt and insects. Salt will do the same thing. Several thicknesses of disks cut from the good portions of the kitchen ollcloth make excellent mats to put under the flower pots in the various windows. ¥ A spoonful of kerosene put into the clcthes boiler will make the clothes white’ and sweet. There will be no odor of kerosene when the clothes are dried. iron raised lace, place it be- tween blankets. Or do not iron it at all. If not ironed it should be stretched, while wet, with a pin at each point, To Hardwood floors are not difficult to keep clean if they are dusted every day with a dustless mop. These mops are treated chemically and will pick up all dust. A very satisfactory way to mend shirts that are worn around the col- lar band is to sew a narrow yoke to fit the neck and to come just below the worn place. When separating the yolks from the white of eggs, there is some- times a speck of the yolk slips into the white. To remove this dip a clean cloth into warm water and wring it dry. Touch the yolk with B. point of the cloth, and it will cling it at once. It is not a bad idea to paint the shelves of the china closet black and ‘hang the china on brass hooks. The china will show to more advantage against the black. This, of course, applies to the old-fachioned buiit-in variety of closet that {is generally painted white. Equal Pay for Equal Work " By RUTH CAMERON. The justice of giving men and wWomen equal pay for equal work is a subject on which I have often been‘asked to write. . 1 have hitherto hung back because I think it is a rather involved ques- tion. been the held The letter friends who have writien to mec on this matter have women, and they have taken the stand that there is but one side to question—namely, that a woman holding a position simiiar to that by men ought to be paid exactly the same. 1 cannot settle the question quite so simply in my me that there are two sides to it, although 1 have my which is the right side. Let's examine them both. First, we are told thata woman shorter than a man's. Now it is the employe is seldom worth what he is paid during the time that he s learning the business. If this is true the deficit must be charged up to the period when he is worth his wage. When this period is shorter in the woman’'s case the employer loses in paying men and women both the same wage. Personally, 1 believe that the employe is usually worth the small wage that he gets from the very start, If he is, that argu- ment crumbles to nothing. The next argument is that women are more likely to be absent on ac- count of sickness or home conditions than men, and hence are less depend- able :y1d less valuable. That is certainly true in some cases, and 1 cannot see how the woman who is always asking for a week or a day off, regara- less of her employer's nced of her, can expect the same pay as a man who does not require these favors. On the other hand, 1 know women who are quite as steady and faithful workers as men and I do not see why their pay should be smaller thal a man's pay just because some other woman is irresponsiple. Another argument is that a man has a lerger duty to society. That is, he has a family to support and tnercfore deserves a larger wage. It sourids very conclusive, doesn’t it? But when, oh when, did the average employer really pay his workers according to the workers' needs rather than their value? By that criterlon the stupid man with nine children would be paid more than the clever, efficient employe with only one chil Can you imagine an employer doing that? Furthermore, in many cases where men and women do equal work and receive unequal pay, the man is & bachelor with only himself to support, and the woman has a mother, younger sister or invalid husband on her hands. In this case the woman ought to get the larger pay, 1f employers are really influenced by the em- ploye's obligation to society. But 1 can’t say 1 ever knew it to work out that way. It seems to me that the matter boils down to this. Clreumstances alter cases. Scme women deserve as much pay as men in similar posi- tious, other women do not. An honest aid square employer ought to be able to judge which is the case and to act accordingly. Of course, the niggardly man will always argué that woman ought to get less because that theory is kinder to his pocket. But I do not see how any generous minded lover of justice can take that view of the case.

Dresden lawns and batutes are liked for morning accasions. Some of the dimities are very pretty and childlike in effect and white means many fabrics and many qualities. The tucks at the long waist f’ne forming bands under which the sash is }usud are unquestion- ably pretty but, if the belt effect is liked something plainer is wanted, the belt or sash can be passed over the frock in place of through the slashes.
