 Home demonstration work, though comparatively new, is looked upon as permanent. so beneficial have been the results obtained by home demon- stration agents working in rural homes. The fundamental purpose of this work, according to a report just Issued by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, is to assist the rural housewife to apply business principles to her daily tasks for the purpose of making the farm home as efficient as the farm, thereby produc- ing a more satisfactory and perma- nent type of rural life The report referred to Is Department Circular Al. which deals with the results of home demonstration work In the 33 northern and western states.

During that year tour agents were appointed In 1919 the number had grown to more than oU0. Then war emergency funds were cut off. and In the following year the number dropped to 2S6 Although in this one year the force of workers as well as state and federal funds were reduced nearly one-half, the ap- proprtations made by the local people for home demonstration work nearly doubled, and agents were retained in direct response to requests from the people whom they served, according Go the circular.
 Home demonstration agents afford an avenue by which the state agricul- tural colleges and the United States Department of Agriculture offer the practical results of their research and experiments In home economics to housewives of the country. These agents encourage the rural house wives to bring from their store of practical knowledge and experience the lessons they have learned in home management that will be valuable to other women in the community. and so help to make this information avail able to all.

Motor Travel Increases

Says the New York Times:
The automobile travel on the roads of this
country has increased so per cent this year, &C.
cording to L. E. Warford, representative of the
American Automobile association, who is at the
Claridge hotel Mr.. Warford says that the re-
ports just received from LOO clubs scattered
throughout the country show that Americans
are now really enjoying the beauties of their
own country.
1.-The reports coming in now on automobile
travel are very interesting said Mr.. Warford
People of this country are showing much great
er interest in their own country. Much of this
is due to the roads that have been opened up
recently, and parties are now able to explore
country where formerly automobiles could not
penetrate.
1.-The Townsend bill, appropriating $780,
100000 year for the next five years, would be
the stimulus needed just now to improve the
roads of the country. Already many states have
appropriated their allotment, which is specified
in the BILL Eleven states in the northwest, in
Guiding Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and
Montana, have put up the money, and have al
ready spent it in road building and improve
ments
"a most interesting and valuable outcome
of the entire work has been the interest with
which ex-service men have gone into the work
of road building in the northwest. Many asked
for special vocational training in civil engineer
ing and road construction, with the result that
they stepped into important positions, and a
field which should be permanent. Their success
should influence thousands of former service
men to enter into this work. It is splendid out

The Beggar's Curse

"Lenin appeals to the toiling industrial
workers and agriculturists of the world for aid
required for starving Russians says the Chit
cago Tribune. "The inference is that the toiling
business men, who, as matter of fact, will give
the greater part of the American fund, are in
vited to keep their tainted money
aid will go to the needy Russians from cap
italist America in spite Of Lenin but his appeal
is Illuminating as to the workings of fanatics
mind. Lenin calls for aid from the 'toiling in
dustrial workers and agriculturists,' and takes
this occasion to tell them they are themselves
everywhere oppressed by capitalism
This is truly sardonic figure rising out of
the ruins bolshevism has made, and, while ap-
pealing for succor, inviting revolution. Lenin in
effect says: Bolshevism cannot feed its people
Give aid-and join us in the joys of revolution
He is like man in quicksand who calls for
help and at the same time urges his helper to
join him in the bog.
I'VE doubt if there is any use in contributing
a cent to the starving Russians if Lenin is going
to administer the money. He will see that nc
one gets any of it except members of his own
political party, which consists of about 100000
out of 100000 people"

Answers to Questions

INQUIRER - What are "halcyon
day." They are the seven days pre-
ceding and the seven following the
winter soltice on Dec. 81 or %, on
which falls the shortest day of the
year. Those IA days were the halcyon
days of the Old World. In modern
times halcyon days have come to be
known as idyllic, peaceful, happy days.
In ancient times halcyon was the name
of bird, now called the kingfsher,
and the IA days nearest the winter
solstice were called halcyon days be-
cause, according to popular belief, it
was at that period that the bird de-
posted its eggs on the rocks, on the
seashore or in a floating nest in the
sea. Out of consideration for the haly-
con bird, which was supposed to be
favored by the gods, it was expected
that the sea would remain calm; that
the eggs would suffer no injury. The
superstition persisted, in spite of the
storms that often prevailed at that
season of the year. The modern use
of the word has an example in DIS
