EDening Chat

by RUTH CAMERON.

What a tremendously wide differ
ence there is in the way different peo-
pie feel about doing things for others.
Some people will gladly do things
for you if it is perfectly convenient. If
there is the slightest obstacle in the
way, the slightest inconvenience, they
seem to feel that that automatically
absolves them from the obligation to
do the favor.
You ask such a person if she will
do an errand for you or lend you
some article to be used in the church
entertainment, or give her mite of
time toward some philanthropy, and
she says, Let me see," and then,
with some small obstacle. I'm not
sure I know just where that shop
is" (she doesn't want to make the
effort to understand your directions),
or I'D be glad to lend you the sofa
pillows for the play, but how would
you ever get them there" Ghe wom-
an who contributed that example has
a machine of her OWN, or "Oh, my
dear, that's the day l have my sham
pooist. She doesn't stay all day? No,
but 1 hate to plan too mary things for
one day"
At the other extreme are people
who seem to look upon a request as
something one must find a way to do.
Instead of regarding a. obstacle in
the way of performing tho favor as
legitimate excuse, they regard it as a
problem to be solved.
Let me see, you want my tea
wagon for the play. OF course, you
can have it, but how shall I get it
there? oh, 1 know; I'll give the boy
next door a nickel to take it down in
his little express team. Thursday the
18th; why. it was Thursday I was
planning to have that little tea. Never
mind, 1 can have it Wednesday just
as WE'LL
Agnes Repplfer is evidently think
ing of people like this when she
says:
There are some people who from
some delicacy of mental fibre find it
exceedingly difficult to be rude; and
there are people who, like Charles
Lamb, have curious habit of doing
what they do not want to, and what
they know is not worth doing for the
sake of giving pleasure to some utterly
insignificant acquaintance. The sec
ond class is so small, and the motives
governing it so inscrutable, that we are
apt to be exasperated by it's anna
bility.'
was glad to run across that bit
of philosophy, for 1 had always won
dered why such pee pie never seem to
be as much beloved as one would ex-
pect.
1 have a suspicion that there is
another reason for this besides the
inscrutability of the motives of this
class. We don't like people to be too
good. You remember Queen Guini-

Beet Salad.
Boil and peel the beets, then cut a
slice off the bottom of each so that
the beets will stand upright.
Scoop out the inside carefully. Cut
the portion of beet removed from the
centers into small cubes and add
equal parts of cold boiled potato
celery and chopped nuts Mix with
salad dressing and fill the beet shells
with the mixture, laying a slice of
hard boiled egg on top of each.
Sandwiches.
Lettuce Sandwiches make a fine
luich or supper dish. Mix peanut but

to spread. Cut and trim sandwich
bread spread with the peanut butter,
lay lettuce leaf on one slice, spread
with salad dressing and sprinkle with
chopped olives or nuts. Lay on the

fancy shapes for special occasions.

and "a further Improvement of in

great prevalence and its baneful eff

of this country, tuberculosis must be
combated with the active participation
of every available agency. The serv-
ices of the federal government, says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, should be utilized par
ticularly to establish national effort
against this disease. While the out
line of Smith in it's entirety is perhaps
difficult of attainment, especially with
relation to its immediate utilization as
plan of campaign, certainly if put
into effect it would tend to decrease
greatly the number of new infections
through the propagation from old
cases.

of course you remember Dicky, the
pretty little yellow and black canary
who lived in a gilded cage close by the
dining-room window of Mary James
home.
Now Dicky was as pretty and sweet
little bird as any little girl couid

swung in his little SWING, ana ne al
ways had a pleasant chirp for Mary
Jane whenever she came near the
cage Mary Jane was quite satisfied
with him in every way but one he
would NOT take q bath
She tried keeping out his seed cup
she tried giving him his bath before
she fixed his cage in the morning: she
tried every plan she could think of

great distress, spoke TO her mother
about the matter

PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS.

Four hundred and thirty-two Amer
lean cities maintained neighborhood
Fairgrounds under the direction of
play leaders during the year which
ended November l, 1915, according to
the year book Of the Playground and
recreation Association of America.
During the last two years 116 cities
have established Fairgrounds The
number of new Fairgrounds secured
is nearly 1000 bringing the total
number Of Fairgrounds now in opera
ton up to 1924. When the Play
ground and Recreation Association
was organized less than ten years ago,
only few of the larger cities ever
had summer Fairgrounds, and many
OF these were supported by private
funds. Now Ill cities employ 1853
play leaders throughout the year. Re-

borhood Fairgrounds are open

are administered by the municipality

are recognizing that the maintenance
of neighborhood Fairgrounds is a reg

cities maintain classes for training
recreation workers. Two thousand
one hundred and sixty-four students
are reported in SIS of these cities A
new profession has grown up. Within
two years the number of play leaders
increased 1,1S9 so that there are now
1907 workers employed in addition
to .929 caretakers. Last year the
expenditures reported in the cities of
America were $4,066,377.15. In ad-
dition the Playground and Recreation
Association of America spent $S2,-
505.79. In 10 cities, bond issues for
recreation purposes were authorized,
the bond issues authorized in II of
these amounting to $1,663,750. In 40
cities neighborhood Fairgrounds have
been donated to the city by private
individuals, the value of this property
in 10 of these cities is $497,100. Six
hundred and twelve school buildings
are reported to be in use as evening

THE TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT.

Among the various phases of the
public health movement in this coun-
try of the last decade or two, the eff
fort toward the gradual eradication of
tuberculosis stands out prominently in
its comprehensive planning and or
ganization. The field that, ten years
ago, was almost barren of any or
ganized machinery for the control of
the disease, includes at present 1900
local antituberculoSis organizations,
SIS hospitals and sanatoriums, $50 spe-
cial dispensaries, !, 900 dispensary phys
icians, 1000 nurses and 400 open air
schools. The total cost of creating and
operating this machinery represents
an outlay of over 800, 100000 of pub
lie and private funds. The results SO
far achieved are shown in % the
steadily growing enlightenment of the
people on the subject of tuberculosis,
it's cause, methods of prevention and
treatment; CD the gradually falling
mortality from the disease Gin the
registration area in 1902, the rate was
1913 per 10000; in 1911, 1922, and
60 the impetus given to the entire
public health movement through con-
centrAtion of public attention on dis
ease, the gradual eradication of which
is dependent on the realization of
higher general health standards. The
present lower mortality marks the ef-
feet of the intensive educational cam
paign, of the steadily expanding sys-
tenn of institutional and home con-
troll of the disease, and of the general
Improvement IN the sanitary and eco
nomic conditions of the people. Tu-
berculosis. however is still with us,
with its appalling, though reduced
mortality, and with some of its funda-
mental problems still awaiting solu-
ton. Surgeon F. c. Smith, Of the
United States Public Health Service,
emphasizes chiefly the following i'm
portant aspects of a campaign against
tuberculosis: % control of sources of
gross" infection by disqualification of
advanced cases, particularly of those
in contact with children; removal
from tuberculosis surroundings of
children under two years, preferably
un der four, and is much later as Dos
sible. and creation of special institu =
tional provision for cuch children; co
earlier diagnosis of the disease, rem

J cation of the principle of periodic
