SEC'Y WILSON SAYS
 CHILD LABOR LAW
 CANNOT BE EVADED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Secre- tary Wilson, a member of the board of three cabinet members designated to draft regulations putting the new child labor law into effect, issued a statement tonight, replying to asser- tions that the law could be evaded easily by holding products in storage for 30 days after their manufacture. Those who attacked the law, he said, failed to distinguish between produc- ing plants and warehouses, which might be located under the same roof and still be distinct under the mean ing of the provision barring from in- terstate commerce any product re- moved from a plant in which child labor had been employed within the 30 days previous.
 Secretary Wilson declared that any removal, therefore, of a commodity from the plant where it was produced by child labor, even though it was stored a foot away for 30 days or any other period, would make it forever in interstate commerce.

THE BOW OF PROMISE.

Dear Editor, Brothers and Sisters of the Social Corner:-Just a little friendly chat this lovely winter morn ing. I am always interested in the nice helpful letters in the Social Cor ner.
 I thank Interested Reader for the pretty calendar.
 Dear Old Mother Hubbard: I would like to pat you on the back for your plainly spoken letter in Feb. Sth Social Corner. We should cultivate a spirit of graciousness. It is our privilege to cultivate the kindly manner, which is heart. It is the manner in which the deed is done more than the deed that soothes the neglected one and brings back hope, which Is life. There are cruel wrongs done every day. not by evil intention, but by &C., tions prompted by the best of inten- tions. The rough diamond is very dis agreeable-looking stone, and the in- dlvidual represented by this type is equally objectionable in these modern times, when quality is more sought for than quantity in all work, and gentleness and refinement more than force
 Gods love can transform every some kindness every day. Do a kindness to your neighbor
 Every time you can, Give a greeting to the stranger,
 He's your fellowman: Break your box of alabaster,
 Thus your kindness snow: Scatter seeds of fellow feeling
 Everywhere you go.

THE GARDEN.
Nn 8

Editor of the Social Corner: We have viewed the garden as a product of nature, as a leaf in natures book, as a laboratory, and as a field of strife. Now we will consider 1t as source of sustenance and pleasure to man.
 As a tiller of the soil man began crudely. If he was set down in the Garden of Paradise, as tradition has taught us, he had a good example to start with; and this brings us to the thought that God valued the educative advantages of the garden greater than that of the university, or he would have placed man in a university first. God introduced man to the garden first, and left man to create the university when his needs required 1t. Looked at alright, man from the garden and his experiences of life learned when he was qualified to create a university, and this was the evidence of his need of it.
 The cornf1elds of the Indian in their lack of form and lack of beauty two hundred years ago help us to imagine what the gardens of the tribes may have been when men were just be- ginning to abandon the habit of rowing about as hunters and browsers upon wild herbs and wild fruits, and multi plying the good things from nature so as to create plenty where before there may have been scarcity, so as to be able to say: This Is mine" This was where individualism began to assert itself and a more stable idea | of government began to dawn upon the | human mind.
 The garden stage of humanity was then really the first platform for unity | progress and the force and refinement which has since been developed among JOSEPH DOE.

ORIGINAL TRIED RECIPES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I should like to have you try some of my tried and true recipes:
 Famed Steak-Take one-haIf dozen slices of buttered bread toasted; then cover thinly with steak, having 1t fine; put in the oven and bake slowly until cooked sufficient. Then make a stock with four tablespoons of butter and three tablespoons of water; pour over the bread and meat. Then season with pepper and salt. Serve hot
 To Cook Steak with Macaroni-Cook macaroni in salt and water until ten der; then put a layer of macaroni and 8 layer of beefsteak until the dish is filled; then pour in milk into which put two eggs well beaten; season with butter and salt. Bake in hot oven.
 Grind Your Pork.-Put your pork through your grinder before putting it with your beans. You will find 1t sea- sons the beans much better. Grind your pork; then set in oven until 1t browns then stir pork and grease in your beans: fix beans otherwise same as usual.
 Oyster OmeIette-One pint oysters, one tablespoon flour, one-half teaspoon baking powder, three eggs, one-half cup liquor, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Beat eggs separate; then add flour and baking powder, salt and pepper, last the oys- ters, taking care not to break the oysters.

 Hulda: I hope you, Dorothy Perkins and the other hostesses did not get all tired out. You certainly had plenty to do.

 L. H. K: What was the trouble l thought you was surely going to The Corner gathering-were you sick, or afraid of the snow?
 Dew Drop: Have you lost your pen |!
 Blue Bird: Have not seen anything from your pen in ages. Have you changed your pen name. If so, give us clue. Wish you could come over to the club. No. 1 gatherings some time and enjoy the fun.
 Lucy Acorn: I know you. We live so near to each other We ought to get acquainted; also, all of those who write from Canterbury. I guess I'll start out and find out who is who?'
 Practical Polly: As I said I would send in my way of making salad dressing I will close with it.
 Salad Dressing that requires no cooking-One can condensed milk, one cup vinegar, one tablespoon mustard one teaspoon salt, two eggs; beat all together, and it will keep indefinitely Used for any kind of salads. Hope those who try this will like it as well as I do. It is nice and so quickly made.
 Will close with best wishes to all Hope to meet with you again at next gathering.

SOCIAL CORNER POEMS.

The Country Road. From the busy fields of farmer folk It starts on it's winding way, Goes over the hill, and across the
 brook, Where the minnows love to play; Then, past the mill with its water wheel,
 And the pond that shows the sky And up to the bridge by the village And the church with it's spire so high.
 You would never think that the coun- try road,
 From the mill to the store, could De { So long to boy with an errand to do And another boy to see. i You can never dream how short 1t Is From the farm to the frozen pond, ! Nor how very much farther 1t always To the schoolhouse just beyond. Oh, the country road! At the farther
 end
 It runs up hill and down Away from the woods and the ripping
 brook
 To the toiling, rushing town But, best of all, when you're tired and
 sick Of the noisy haunts of men, If you follow it back, it will lead you
 home
 To the woods and fields again. Sent in by SWEET SIXTEEN

 Aunt Sarah: Many thanks for your kind invitation to meet with The Club at Willimantic to celebrate the sixth anniversary. I just wish I could be able to do so; but I do not think I shall be able to go so far so soon. l wonder if you received the card l sent you.

FOURTH MEETING OF CLUB NO. 1

Dear Editor and Friends: Having been requested to give an account Of the gathering of the clan. it is a pleas ure and privilege to do so.
 The fourth monthly gathering of the Cornerites was held. as usual. on Valley. street, in W. c. T. U. hall. As we looked forward with pleasure and expectancy to the day we were considerably disappointed to find 1t storTninE fufiously during the early morning hours, but the snow gradual ly ceased falling. and as we have be- come accustomed to such genuine So- cial Corner weather, we did not regard the overcast sky in the least, and the hours that were nearing midday found the largest gathering of the winter assembled to enjoy the com pantonship of each other, to exchange ideas and participate in all the benefits derived from these social gatherings.
 The room and tables were very tastefully decorated. with our chosen color, by the hostesses, Dorothy Per kins. Huldy and Mary France. The Viands on the table looked tempting, indeed, to our hungry eyes and waiting appetites. and in due time we did full justice to all the good things.
 Nearly fifty sat down to lunch, after which we enjoyed a duet played by Peggy Anne and Tiny. Joan also play ed. Letters were read from a few who were not able to meet with us Pollyanna favored us with recitations and Polly Wintergreen read.
 Judging from the buzzing of voices and bursts of laughter there was no dearth of thought or lavity of minds but each and all seemed to be giving and receiving their best in expressed l thought and brilliant wit
 Goody Two Shoes was missed as she had met with us at the previous gath | erings.
 We were glad to see Saturday Eve | and Primrose an1 appreciate their ef. | fort to meet Tl us, coming from quite a distarce. Also, glad to mee' and greet the new writers and those who had not met with us before. | Even though the days are lengthen. F ing the time seemed short when WI had to draw the pleasure of another day to a close and wend our way tC | our own f1reside, to again look for ward in pleasant anticipation to tn, next club meeting. the Sth of March when we will celebrate the Socia i Corners sixth anniversary.
