WHAT A SAFETY
PIN WILL DO

Many women have wash blouses
from which they remove the but
tons when they are sent to the
tub. q ~
A safety pin will hold these to-
gether and prevent that wild hunt
later for the last button that al
ways insists upon getting lost. >,
Half dozen long safety pins in
the work basket threaded with
buttons of different sizes, also
hooks and eyes, will be found a
great convenience, especially when
one is in hurry.
Nothing will take safety pin's
place in the travelling sewing
case.
One of these will hold all the
buttons and hooks and eyes neces-
sary for an ordinary journey.
/ A small one makes a good sub.
'stitute for bodkin for threading
ribbon through underwear.
A safety pin also has beer
known to button shoes.
I "A pin catching both sides of the
skirt together at each side of the
front, and then these pins hung on
tive hooks in the closet will dc
better service than the usual skirt
hanger.

Blind Girl Has Mania
for Helping Distressed

DENVER, April 19.-Katie At
wood of Denver Is the first blind
officer of a Juvenile court in the
world.
The girl. who radiates sunshine
from her whole being, speaks
with the alacrity born of purpose
and moves as one with a mission
to perform. She Is twenty-five
years old and has been blind since
she was eight years old.
She has almost a mania for
helping others in distress. When
she received her commission as a
juvenile court officer, she held it
up to her sightless eyes as If she
were burning every word of the
precious document into her mind.
No one looking at her could have
guessed that the paper was a
blank to her poor, unseeing eyes.
II am glad that ! am blind" is
the astonishing assertion which
this wonderful girl makes. "Ifl

A FIGHT WITH WOLVES

Up above Moscow on the great
plains of Russia a great deal OF
travelling in winter is done I'm
sleighs. And right merry fun II
is TO ride for miles, warmly wrap
ped in furs, behind a team OF
dashing horses with gay bells
jingling.
It was on such a journey as this
that Elfreda and her papa had a
great battle with the wolves. They
had been to faraway city, and
were returning later than usual
to their village home. The horses
were tired, for the sleigh was well
loaded with provisions, among
which was large box of sweet
meats for Eifreda and her friends.
Elfreda's father knew they
would not get home till after dark
so he was very careful to see that
his rifle was loaded. Shortly
after dark, as they were nearing
home and the horses were hurry
ing along, Elfreda's sharp eyes
discovered five gaunt forms fol-
lowing them.
Wolves" said her father as he
whipped up the horses.
But the horses were tired.
Run as fast as they could, the
wolves kept gaining, and their
howls were terrible to hear. The
wolves were near enough now for
Elfreda's father to use his rifle.
He took careful aim, fired, and
shot the leader of the pack.
