perfume (the Bobadil Jim always
used it, and she whispered
thing to Nick. Quickly she waved
her left arm three times from right
to left and uttered the magic words
that the Fairy Queen had told her
in her dream.
Instantly the wishing ring rolled
from the Bobadil Jinn's finger to the
floor and there he stood in plain
view of everybody. He was unpre-
pared for such a proceeding and ter
ribly mortified at being out in his
nightieS with only a robe over them.
The wicked thing was a dude in
his way and eve dreamed when
he had put his wishing ring on that
any one would see him. He was in
a dreadful way at the occurrence,
and stopped TO search for his ring
at once, growing like a mother lion
whose cubs have been stolen.
The twins saw their chance. Quick
as scat they grabbed the box out of
the Jinn's side pocket, slipped on
their Magic Green Shoes and wished
themselves a hundred miles away.

The stars incline. but do not COM

Thursday. January 20, 1921

Newspaper Syndicate)
This is read as an unfortunate day
in planetary direction, for although
early in the morning Neptune is in
benefc aspect. later the Sun, Venus,
Mercury and Jupiter are all in evil
place.
Feasibility and a disposition to-
ward faultinding may be evident,
especially among persons who WELD
authority. 1t is not a lucky day 10
seek favors Of any sort.
Persons who desire appointments
or patronage should not make ap-
plications when the stars are posted
as they are today when both men
and women on whom fortune has
smiled are likely TO be critical and
arrogant.
Women should be especially eau
tious about putting TO the test any
fateful matter. whether il be love
or business. The wise will delay all
important affairs.
II is not an suspicious wedding
day and engagements entered into
during this rule may be unfortunate
if they continue.
Letters should be written warily,
if they are to have any bearing on
domestic affairs, since misunder-
standings may be easily read into
lines hastily penned.
Trade may be unfavorably in1u-
enced by this government of the
stars which forecasts disappoint-
ments and even heavy losses.
The sudden death of a ~inancierJ
this month may depress the stock
market.
Growth of power for a great firm
that prohted in the war will be rec
ognized as a public menac owing
TO a sensational incident which Will
take place in March, the seers pro
phesy.
Women are warned hat they must
study present day customs and
fashions with a view 10 reforms, if
they would render real service to
the nation.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have rather a trying year. but all
will go well if they avoid specula-
ton and attend to business.
Children born on this DAY may be
difficult to manage, for they are
likely TO be self-willed and impa-
tient. Business will not attract them
and they should be carefully trained
in practical ways.

Ann Publishes a Song.

Ann might shortly be a
sidow. 1 dared not whisper my
horrid Gear to Bob. but in conse-
quence of it, 1 longed above all
hings to keep dear Jimmy-boy
from doubling the wisdom of his
marriage. II Jim lived. he could
work out his own domestic diff
sulties- like other people. But if
he were doomed 10 die. he must
never guess that the pretty girl he
had married was less innocent and
less lovable than he had pictured
sher.
Ann is creating a scandal-all
she needs is time!" 1 remarked TO
Bob. But perversity is her mid
die name, so there's no sense in
irving to keep her away from Van."
"Then perhaps you'd better try

MINOR twang in his voice.

L used to fancy that Bob is the
most masterful man in the world

but lately 1 have discovered that

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

When the burners OF the kitchen
range become clogged and fail TO
burn evenly there is a vast OF gas.
Take the burner out of the stove,
first shutting off the gas at the stove
connection. Make a strong solution
of I've and water and boil the burn
ers in this. Dry we'll. Replace burn
ers in stove.
It is almost impossible 10 keep a
gas stove from getting ~clogged with
grease from time 10 time and If a
housekeeper cleans the burners Pc
riodically she can save both gas and
plumbers bills.
Menu for Tomorrow

Ny Own Recipes
When planning a lettuce salad for
dinner it's a good thing to wash the
lettuce several hours before needed.
Wrap up in a cloth and put in a
cold place. This not only dries the
lettuce but makes il crisp.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WEEK TO BE OBSERVED

TRENTON, Jan. 19-The obser-
walton in the schools of the state OF
"Visit-the-Schools" Week. the week
beginning Monday. Feb. IA, was
urged in a letter which has been
sent by Commissioner of Education
Calvin N. Kendall 10 the personnel
of the schools Of New Jersey. The
celebration of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Week was especially stressed as one
of the mean whereby larger sala-
ries for the teachers and more mon
ey for general school purposes could
be secured.
The increase in teachers salaries
throughout the state in the past was
said TO be due to the public inter-
est which was in part stirred up by
the observance of this special week
in the schools. it being stated that
last year more than 10000 persons
visited the schools of the state dur
ing the week set apart for the pur-
pose of visiting them.
A suggestion was made in the let
ter that the ordinary session of the
| school go on during the visits of
parents and hat no formal exer-
cises be prepared.
The results of these visits, the let
ter said, were that parents become
acquainted with the teacher; that
parents see under what physical cir
| cumstances the teachers work is
done: that parents will appreciate
more the difficulties OF the teacher,
and that their regard for the i'm
| portance of the teacher will be in
creased; that by seeing the work of
the schools the parents will pay the
| school tax more freely.
Another suggestion made IN the
letter was that committees of the
older pupils be designated TO see
that visitors were provided with
chairs and that their wraps are
taken care of.

NEW YORK CITY, Jan. d.
Impressed by the ability of women
iuries in New Jersey, New York IS
now considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
introducing ONE jurors into its
courts. A bill amending the present
jury law to include female citizens
of the United States" is well as
male ones. is to be submitted to the
New York legislature this month,
and. as the legislature is known to
be favorably disposed on the ques-
ton, 1t is believed that it will be
only a short time before Ladies
and Gentlemen of the Jury" Will be
an established form in the courts.
With the change in the law, jury
service will become an obligation on
the part of women just as much as
it is today with the men. and they
will be subjected to the same strict
rules. The present law provides
that any person subpoenaed for jury
duty who fails to respond is subject
TO punishment for contempt Of
court. and may be fined to the ex-
tent of 800. 1t Is doubtful whether
this compulsory feature of the law
will prove any more popular with
ONE than with men. after the
novelty of jury duty wears off, but
for the first few years there Will
probably be few attempts at eva
sions.
Under present conditions. the
courts are having more and more
difficulty in obtaining competent
juries of men. No man, IL seems.
will serve on a jury il he can pos
sibly avoid It.. Already masculine
ingenuity has been strained in in
venting a large assortment of ex-
cuses from jury service, and it may

headed by necessary shopping" and
bridge club meetings"
But, so far. women have shown
themselves much more interested in
jury duty than men.
1t was Judge Daniel A. Dugau. OF
the Essex County Court, Orange. n.
j., who first tried the experiment in
this part of the country. In Novem-
Der the judge suddenly found his
panel Of 800 men jurors drawn for
his court at h beginning OF the
year running out, all OF the men
finding excuses of n kind or an
other to relieve them of the work.
SO. being more annoyed than usual,
he took the radical alternative OF
drafting the newly enfranchised New
Jersey women.
The women chosen were carefully
picked. and represented some of the
best families of Orange Much to
the surprise of the court, they ap-
peared promptly in answer to the
summons. and nom offered an ex-
cuse to avoid serving. At the last
moment, it is true. Mrs. Thomas A.
Edison telephoned the judge and
asked to be excused because her
dnd was III. but she said that
she would find some way TO come II
he could not find someone else TO
take her place.
According to Mrs. Everett Colby.
who was appointed forewoman of
the Jury, the women talked the mat
ter over and decided that since they
had gained the ballot after such a
long, hard fight. they ought not to
object to fulfilling its responsible
ties: when the call to jury duty came
they would accept it without COM
plant.
TT was the most interesting ex-
perience,'' Mrs. Colby declared when
the trial was over. and the ladies
were discussing it's features in the
domestic atmosphere of an Orange
tearoom. 1T was the first time

II is impossible to tell at first
whether or not a person has been

apparently dead from this cause OFT
en- have been revived.
Loosen the clothing around the
neck, chest and abdomen.
Place the patient fiat on his alb
domen, face turned TO n side, ana
then, kneeling over him, with hands
on either side of the small of the
back. practice artificial respiration
until the patient begins to breathe
of his own accord.
The patient should be covered
with a blanket. AS soon as he be-
gins to breathe. but not before, his
limbs should be rubbed well. under
the blanket, toward the heart.
When the patient is partly re-
stored, he frequently has a chill ana
vomits.
Should he vomit while on his
back, turn him on his right SIDE SO
that the vomited matter will not get
into his windpipe.
When sufficiently revived, the pa
tient should be put to bed, well COW
cred and surrounded with hot water
bottles, with windows open so hat
he may have plenty of fresh air.
He may then be allowed 10 sleep
quietly.
The patient is usually very ner-
vous and should have absolute rest

ton, taking no food for several
hours except hot beef tea or hot
coffee, which should be given as

My daughter has a baby that Is
club-footed. Its feet have been OPP
Grated IN. but it still turns them
straight in, and in trying to walk 1t
will lift them owe each other. The
baby is 13 months old.
A combination of operative ana
mechanical treatment is n of the
best methods of dealing with club
foot. The correction must be COM
plete, and now that your little
grandchild has been operated on, it
should have some. efficient appliance
for keeping the proper position OF
the foot in walking, and this must
be worn until the gait and attitude
are correct. l would advise that you
take the child to the nearest ortho-
pedic surgeon, and he will tell you
just what kind of brace the child
should have. and will put you in the
way of getting it. Most of the large
hospitals have orthopedic surgeons
in attendance. and some of them
have shops for making braces.
Ventilation
Should a baby sleep in a room
with the windows up when it is very
cold, or should he be kept in a room
| where the temperature is moderate
and even?
The window should be kept open
at night except in very severe
weather or during an acute attack

suitable temperature for the sleep
ing room of an infant. III neces-
sary. let him wear a flannel night

night cap, and have his long sleeves
pinned together over the ends oil

Projects of State
to Be Developed
State Officials Encouraged After Con-
ference With Head of Reclama-
zion Service at Denver.

Twelve years of misunderstanding

were brought sharply to an end this
week as the result of IA conference of
three Wyoming Observation-Disclosures
Carey, Lane Commissioner Baker and
State Engineer EmersOn-with \. z.
Davis, director Of the federal reclama-
tion service in Denver, says Thursdays
Wyoming Tribune.
Wyoming's representatives returned
from Denver after Il two days confer
ence with Director Davis and other Of
ticials of the United States reclamation
service in reference to the water supply
of h North Platte river. Conditions
that have held back the development
of Wyoming upon the North Platte for
many years past, nave been largely re-
moved through the efforts of these o.
ficials. 1t has been the contention of
h reclamation service that the Path
finder reservoir controlled this river.
and required such Il part of its water
supply that further irrigation develop
ment in Wyoming should not he al
lowed. The efforts hat have been in
progress during the past two years in
connection with this matter eliminated
i'll h Denver conference. and the of
ficials of the service now concede that
the water supply of the North Platte
river is sufficient to reclaim the lands
that will be found feasible to develon
in this valley in Wyoming.
Director Davis showed that his posi-
ton relative the the Sierra Madre pro
Ject, concerning which much discussion
has been had RECENTLY, had been miscon-
stfued. Hey stated that he merely
wished to> draw attention to the fact
that h government was interested in
