IT IS NOT FAR.

In New York city the automobile OF
beautiful young society girl was run
down by . street car. The gasoline
caught dre. 6amed up and badly burn
ed the young woman about the neck.
In a suit for damages the jury
awarded a verdict Of $4,000
The jury gave az a reason for the
large amount that the girls neck had
been 80 badly SCARED she could not
wear low necked gowns at social func-
tons.
Perhaps the verdict was just. but
Here Is well remembered case of
another girl injured by the negligence
of a street car motorman-little Doro-
thy McDermott OF Newark, N j.. Eve
years OF age.
A jury awarded Dorothy $500 for
the loss Of her leg, which was mono
too much.
The case went up to the supreme
courts decision Justice Garrison said:
THE verdict of $500 Is too high.
The jury did not take into considera-
ton the great improvement in cork
legs"
So on the second trial, because Of
this heartless decision. the jury was
compelled to cut the $500 in half.
Now
Looking on this decision and then on
that. we are confronted with the dead
~ parallel:
For SCARED neck, $4,000.
For one leg $1,000.
Why: why the discrepancy? Is It
because one girl is rich and the other
is the daughter of a workingman?
Such a bold statement does not sound
good to American ears.
Measured not only by justice, but
by the need OF the victims. the YER
diets would better have been reversed
$500 for the injured neck. $4,000
for the MISUNDERSTANDING the cheap
ness of cork legs.
Please consider:
One girl has money, ease, luxury.
True, she has scars on her shapely
neck. but they may be covered. The
other girl is made hopeless cripple
for life and pathetically handicapped
for the human struggle.
The one girl is well provided for and
need never labor with her hands, and
the $4,000 is no more to her than a
little pin money. The other girl must
help her family and sooner or later
earn her living. And the family has
already spent most of the $1,000 for
lawyers and doctors and hospital fees.
Is it fair?
If so. what mean the words written
down in our constitution and laws--
written in the blood OF our forefathers
words which say that equality and
justice must abide In this free land?

The ChiIdren's Sunday.
Salmon.


To many parents, what to do with
the children to keep them happy on
Sunday, is a problem. 1t should be
the day of all the week most enjoyed;
but much depends on how Sunday Is
observed, whether the child looks for
ward to the day with Joy or dread.
Children in the home mean self-sac-
rifice on the part Of the parents, but
aren't they worth it? After the usual
church services are attended, and by
the-way, the wise parents Of today
take all their children to church as
soon as the motherI is able to go with
them. A child thus reared will be-
long in the church and never have to
be urged to go. One has to remem-
Der that children are without judg'
ment, and their little wants must be
met. A cooky and pencil will often
be all that is necessary for its con-
tentment
Let the children have an hour with
you of their own on Sunday after
noon; it may mean the giving up of
nap or a call, but keep the time for
them. Talk over things that have
troubled. then read some interesting
book closed the previous week at
most interesting point, and keep the
book Just for Sunday reading.
Let the children have some games
and toys kept only for use on Sun
day. A Noah's ark may be an unend'
ing source of amusement; talks on
the different animals, their homes and
habits, teach geography and nature
study. Let them use pencil and paper
with Bible names to make words, or
teach them to spell their names with
Bible verses. These may be memor'
lied.
Very young children show in short
time the general knowledge gained
by the thoughtful companionship OF
parents. There are several Bible
games suitable for different ages that
may be used occasionally to vary the
program.
Another way to interest children Is
to allow one to suggest what to have
for the Sunday supper, and let them
all have a hand in getting it ready.
These suggestions may be varied to
suit individual needs, and parents
with a little thought can originate
countless helpful ways Of spending
the Sabbath as it should be spent. in
quiet and with reverence.

Helpful Hints.


Use salt and sour milk to clean
brasses.
Remnants of fat, either cooked or
uncooked should always be saved,
fried out and clarified If necessary.
Carpets are greatly freshened by
washing with water in which a table
spoonful Of ammonia is added to six
quarts of water. After a thorough
sweeping wipe with a cloth wrung as
dry as possible.
To keep Clipped ice in the sick
room, suspend flannel bag In bowl,
put the ice in the bag and keep tight
ly covered. See that the bag is high
enough to be out Of the water, as the
ice melts and ice will last nearly all
night.
Try putting the pumpkin through
the meat chopper before cooking. It
is easily done and 1t needs little water
to cook and in a short time Is tender.
If put in the oven to stew 1t need not
be watched as carefully as If cooked
on top Of the stove.
Before removing the ribbon from
underwear, sew piece of tape to the
end of ribbon, then draw the ribbon
out of the garment from the opposite
end, which will draw the tape in, then
the ribbon may be removed from the
tape, and when the garment is washed
the ribbon may be quickly put back
in the same manner, as the tape is
left in during the washing.

ProcrastInatIon.

II heard a tale the other day of a
postponing chap, who thought he'd buy
wheel so gay, but-'they will be
cheaper, perhaps And SO he dallied
year by year, the cheapest wheel to
buy; but long before the cheapest gear.
that yap he had to die! And so, by
putting off the day, we miss the wine
Of life; and some there are in just
that way who thus will miss a wife!
Get busy now, you timid swain, pro-
crastinate no more, for time is surely
on the wane, and you a bachelor!
Some wait too long to make a pick
Of husbands or Of wife, and then
some take broken stick and make a
