CARING FOR THE AGED
OF SWITZERLAND
BY VIDA SUTTON.

Next to infancy and youth old age lays
claim to the attention and care of the
Swiss. Each canton manages this care in
its own way. unique character Of the
boards of administration in some of the
cantons is that the old people themselves
elect one of their number to serve on the
committe of control. In Vaud, a canton
east Of Lake Geneva. the government
supports an organization which instead
of maintaining institutions places their
a few asiles or shelters for the aged in
the canton, however, and the one at
Chailly. a little village on Lake Geneva
between tourist filled Montreux and We
vey. with its great chocolate manufac-
tories. is an ideal place of its kind.
1t stands facing the towering noun
tains, and is the home of about fifty old
men and women. The matron is pleas
ant faced woman. in frilled cap and apron,
is proud to show off her well kept house
and to introduce some of her children
The old women are setting in the sunshine
knitting or sewing: the old men puttering
about in the workshop below or taking
the air in the garden. In one of these
patches married pair are busily
working. Everything possible is done To
make the old people happy. They have a
library and a music room And there is a
committee outside that furnishes enter
tainment at intervals.
There is but onething lacking" says
the matron, and that is young people.
Do you not think it is very sad for the
old to see only the old? The beginning
and the end, they should be together. The
young and the old to give to each other
In Vaud we know this That is why we
put the old people in families. But it is
not always possible. Some of the ole

In Vaud there is kindness for every

Said Jimmy Skunk unto himself.
And straightway did his very best
His plan to every one to tell.
And so 1t was that nearly every one
who lives on the Green Meadows or in
the Green Forest or around the Smiling
Pool or along the Laughing Brook came
at shutdown to the big hickory tree on
the bank of the Smiling Pool. Peter
Rabbit was the first to arrive. You can
always trust Peter to be on hand early
when anything unusual is happening. OF
course, Jimmy Skunk was on hand early,
for. you remember, it was Jimmy who
had called the meeting. Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel, Chatterer the Red SPUR
rel and Striped Chipmunk came together,
scolding at one another all the way. Dig
ger the Badger waddled over. Billy
Mink. Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter
were on hand as usual Danny Meadow
Mouse and even timid little Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse came. Reddy Fox was
there. though the truth is he had not
been invited, and it was suspected that
the real reason Of his coming was the
hope that he would have q chance to
catch one OF the hitler folks on the way
home.
Johnny Chuck wasn't there. You see,
1t was q long way from the old orchard
where Johnny now lived to the Smiling
Pool and Johnny did not like to leave his
home and Polly Chuck and the two lit
tie Chucks. The very last to arrive were
Bobby Coon and Prickly Porky, the
porcupine, who were neighbors and came
together. When Jimmy Skunk had count
ed noses and made sure that there were
no more to come he climbed up on an
old log and made a speech. 1t was a
very short speech, but 1t was enough.
He told all about how Unc' Billy Pos
sum had been caught by Farmer Brown 8
boy. and how he was a prisoner in a
wire-covered box in Farmer Browns
dooryard. and everybody looked at his
nearest neighbor and said, TOO bad! Too
bad"' You see. everybody, or nearly
everybody likes inc Billy Postum
Reddy Fox alone looked pleased and
he tried to hide a smile OF satisfaction
behind one hang. You see, once upon q
time Unc' Billy Postum made Reddy
Fox look very foolish in the eyes of all
the other little meadow and forest peo-
pie. So Reddy was glad that Unc Billy
was in trouble now, for Reddy Fox
never forgets or forgives.
Now, concluded Jimmy Skunk, I've
called this meeting to see if between us
we cannot think of some way to help
get inc Billy Postum and the ba by
Chuck free
Does the wire go all over the box %
inquired Happy Jack Squirrel.
No replied Jimmy Skunk, 1T only

If it was only safe / might go ur
there in daytime and gnaw a hole

thoughtfully. But l wouldn't dare &C

Custard Souffle.

Custard souffle is a delicious variation
on the plain baked custard-perhaps more
like a baked omelet than a custard.' To
make it bring a cupful of milk to the
boiling point and then pour it gradually
on two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with
the same amount Of butter. Cook the
mixture for eight minutes, taking great
care that it does not burn. Then add
two tablespoonful of sugar beaten thor
oughly with the yelks of four eggs. Let
the custard cool, add the beaten whites
of the four eggs and bake for twenty
minutes in a moderately hot oven. Serve
Immediately with jelly or some light,
frothy sauce.

Discusses Indian Music

The great part of the Indian songs and melodies which were so com mon in the frontier days have been practically forgotten by the present generation of Indians. The Indians should be taught to appreciate their own songs, for some of them are truly beautiful and awe inspiring"
