London's White Tower.

The White tower is the very heart of the ancient Tower of London, being indeed the citadel, or keep, dominat- ing all the other buildings which were really intended for it's defense. By reason of it's color and size the, White tower is the most conspicuous part of the grim old structure, but in some ways it's appearance is singu1arly de- ceptive.. It looks a complete square, yet there is a difference of eleven feet in the length of north and south sides, and it's height is not above ninety to ntnety-two feet, although it looks con siderab1y higher. Even Pugin, the architect, was deceived and falkland lost-a wager that the White tower was over 15O feet high-London Mail

He left $2,537.09 in local banks. Relatives and others put in so many claims against the estate that Judge Paul L Miller appointed a commission to, consider them.

Made Dumas Retrao+

The elder Dumas was once sued for stating in one of his novels, ''La Route de Varennes,'' that the capture of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette at Varennes by the revolutionaries was due to the action of the Chevalier de Prefontaine in shutting the door of his house on the fugitives.
 4 grandson of the cheya1ier consid- cred this an aspersion on his ances- tors chivalry and proved in court that the statement was untrue.
 An order was issued compelling Du- mas publisher to call in all copies of the novel and to issue within one month a fresh edition with a note that De Prefontaine placed his house at the disposal of the royal fugitives.

GETTING SENSE.

There comes a clear day when one realizes that clothes are to keep the weather off you; that food is to give health; that home is shelter and inspiration; that, aside from being clean and in offensive, one's personal appear. ance does not signify much; that the main thing in life is to be going toward the goal of your ideals. That isn't getting old; it's getting sense. From then on Time is not master, but friend. -CoIlier's.

BETHEL CHILD
IMPROVEMENT CLUB

The group of women comprising the
membership of the flourishing Child
Improvement Club at Bethel and
who were hostesses for the Child
Welfare meeting and picnic at the
John IT. Sampson home last week
are pioneers in this kind of club
work in the rural part of Audubon
County.
Although this club is but a little
over one year of age it has demon
strated the fact that busy country
women can find time for a social
and educational, meeting once a week
to get acquainted and study the most
important asset of the farm, the
boys and girls
! Their study outline for the year
is already prepared and covers many
phases of home life and child rear
ing 1t is more elastic than the outline
arranged for the town Baby Club
because it must meet the needs of
women who live more distant from
each other. This plan arranged by
the Bethel ladies will make a fine
outline for other neighborhoods to
use when they want TO organize SINH
lar clubs.
Mrs. Cora Emerson. the president,
and her group of efficient workers
are to- be congratulated on the re-
suit of their years work. and we are
sure they will be glad to assist any
one to organize similar clubs in
their nieghborhood.
We understand that the husbands
and fathers have recently been ad-
mitted as club members and although
tn 90
the discussion on baby-raising to the
mothers, they find the neighborhood
gathering good place to get to-
gether and talk over many things
of common interest to the farmer.
More of these clubs are needed in
Audubon county, which has been a
bit slow to take up the idea of Com
munity Center work which has prov
ed so beneficial to many sections of
the state.
In our hurry to go to press last
week we neglected TO mention one
point that was brought out at the
Bethel Child--Welfare meeting and
that was the need of special care of
the little things that help to make
a baby win high score at the baby
contest at the county fair this year
and at the same time make your
baby better baby and consequent
| ly better man or woman by and
by. .
Among the things worth remem-
bering is the fact that babies are
scored off if they are mouth breath
ers, for ii generally means that they
have adenoids or enlarged tonsils
and that many children who other
wise are quite perfect lose points on
discolored teeth and poor scalp.
OF course. these are just a few
of the points mentioned but there
are many others that can be RENE
died between now and September
and whether you care to win a prize
or not. your baby will be healthier
and happier for the additional care
| it is given
One speaker said that although
heredity gave to child some fea-
lures that could not be made SYM
metrical. vet the most glaring
faults were usually the ones most
easily remedied.
| The next meeting of the Audubon
County Child Welfare Association
will probably be at the Audubon
County Fair. and delegates from ev-
cry township and town in the coun-
| ty will he in attendance.
