PARSLEY POINTED A MORAL
Youngster Quick to See the Point
Which His Father Was Endeav-
oring to Make.

| In an Indiana town where crooked
ness in city affairs has been reigning
for years. a lucrative position was of
fered to lawyer. 1t was not because
the salary itself was so large. but the
possibilities the position offered were
many. But still string was attached
and the lawyer knew it. So he turned
down the job.
His highSchool son was provoked be-
cause his father had not accepted. He
grumbled about it in subtle little ways
for several days and then one day his
father came TO school after the boy to
accompany him to a friends farm.
Once there he showed the delighted
youngster all over the farm, last visit
ing the pen in which the hogs were be-
ing fed for the market.
The boy eyed them a few minutes
and then asked, tsWhat is that they're
eating so ravenously?"
The farmer answered: "Why, that's
parsley. It's the best hog fattener /
know of. We just turn them into a
patch of parsley and they do the rest
themselves. It's too good picking for
them to resist. When decide that
pig is almost ready for the market /
just turn him into the parsley patch,
and soon he's just in the right condi-
ton to go to the slaughtering house."
Its too bad they don't know what's |
coming to them so that they stay away
from the parsley patch" laughed the
boy. I'm sure ] would If / were to

His father merely looked at him for
minute and then he said: Parsley

Heating Rivets Electrically.

With the employment of women in
many forms of work heretofore con-
sidered too heavy for them, it has been
necessary to modify the equipment and
form OF work in numerous instances.
Such case is the heating of rivets by
electricity in charge Of women. In
stead OF portable, sooty FORCES oper-

has been introduced an electrically

The Glory of Youth
By Winifred Black

For once, I'm glad of it-for the
little girl next door isn't a little girl
any more.
Shes grown up-all at once-and
] can't believe il even yet
or at least 1 couldn't at first.
She was taller, and her dresses
were different, and there was some
thing about her walk and the way
she held her head that made me
think of an aunt of hers 1 knew
when the aunt was sweet sixteen
and the belle of the Village-some-
thing proud and shy, something
sensitive and vet impulsive 1 never
noticed il beforehand now all az
once the other evening when / saw
her at the party-that did settle it.
1t was a very simple little party,
just meant for half-grown girls-a
party with popcorn and cake and
things, and very simple music, and
games around the fireside-but
there was a little dancing, too.
The Magic Veil.
When the boy from across the
street.-the one IN the naval uniform
dance, there it was as plain as
print. She wasn't a little girl at all
any more. and he wasn't just a good
natured, clumsy, we'll meaning boy.
No, there was nothing particular
in the way he asked her. nor in the
way she said "Yes''-but still-she
smiled, and then she blushed and he
smiled. and then looked very serious.
And down the room they started to-

feet, youth with high hope and high
resolve.

youth. beautiful youth-what is
there that is so pathetic about it

Have YOU ever forgotten one single
strain Of that music?
I have heard great singers in all
parts Of the world, magnificent mu-

time TO the beat OF my own flying
pulse-that was the sweetest music

fed eyes opened TO see the face of
Mrs. Allis looking into mine.
"Get Up!"
There was a sneering little smile
on her lips which terrified me far
more than the blacklist frown would
have done. She spoke in a low tone,
guardedly:
''Wil you give me your word not

some things to say 10 you that will
be greatly TO your interest TO hear,

l repeated ironically TO myself the
words / had just uttered TO RATHER
inc Sonnet. when she had left me
for her own room. I hadn't wished
10 add 70 her worries by telling her
Of my own, but as the door closed
behind her l looked around the
walls of my room with a very lively
fear in my heart.
My terror of Mrs. Allis, which had
slumbered since the night OF Lillian
UnderwOod's dinner TO Robert Saw
arin, had been unoaccountably re-
vived with the closing of the door
behind Katherine. And yet had no
reason for any such emotion. From
the time she had watched US enter
Lillian's doorway we had seen moth
ing of her.
Dicky. indeed. openly expressed
the opinion that Lillian's prompt
action in guarding her home with
private detectives on the night of
her dinner had effectualIy frightened
the woman. He also averred his be-
lief that the only motive in her es-
plOnage was maliciOusly 10 annoy us,
and that it was not she who fired
the shot through our hall door when
we were entertaining for Robert
Savarin, the man who had once be-
lieved himself to be her husband.
L tried 10 reason myself out of my
panic, to tell myself that Dicky's
judgment was undoubtedly correct.

have gone TO Dicky's room, but /
was afraid that he would in some
way show contempt for my fears,

Kitchen Economies
BY ISOBEL BRANDS.
If the Applecroft Experiment Station.
NOW is THE TIME TO REORGAN
IZE YOUR MENU HABITS.

Not only is it necessary that we
cut down the quantity of meat con-
sumed with the advent of warmer
weather, but we should cut down
considerably the quantity of pro-
teids at all meals. Eggs, fish, cheese,
beans. peas and nuts yield varying
proportions of protein just as meat
does. Unless we are engaged in Wig
orous muscular activity. the body
does not need to consume a large
amount OF protein at any one meal.
or course, if a little too much pro-
tein is eaten at any one meal it does
not result injuriously because the
body has means of storing a surplus
and of using this stored material in
an emergency.
The danger lies in the habitual
eating OF too much meat or other
proteins, especially by persons who
do not exercise and work off this
surplus solid food. Many of the all
ments of a family can be traced not
to a deficiency OF food, but TO an ex-
cess of the wrong kind.
At this season of the year, espe-
be more in evidence than heavy
meats and starches. Salads-lettuce,
celery, spinach, leeks, should be
present at the table at least one
meal, and. if possible. at two meals
each day.
These foods can be seasoned SO
that their fiat taste" is lost.
Spinach. it is true. has a native fiat
ness which makes il unpopular with
many, especially children. But It is
essentially so excellent a food that
il is worth while spending a little
extra time in its preparation so as
To make it tasty and palatable.
Children should be encouraged to
drink milk-as a source of protein
and this will to some extent dispel
the inordinate craving which the
growing child sometimes has for
meat Milk contains protein as well
as fat.
Where the appetites of the family,
due to heavy work or robust
physique, or exercise, makes it nee
essary to have substantial proteid
dishes in quantity at each meal, it is
necessary for the housekeeper 70
study the balancing" of foods so
that there will not be habitual ex-
cess of protein. A moderate amount
OF starchy foods-rice, potatoes,
cereal. crackers, bread, macaroni,
cornmeal-will act as filler" and
decrease the appetite for the heavy
proteids.
