WOULD CREATE
OCEAN PORTS ON
THE GREAT LAKES

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 22.-"Action
by Congress within one year" has
become the slogan OF the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Tidewater Association,
he parent body of those who are
working for the Improvement of the
St. Lawrence river so as to admit
Ocean going commerce to the Great
Lakes.
a statement issued by Charles !?
Craig, executive director of the Tide
wu,er Association, announces that
NO additional states, \ Oregon and
Utah. have Joined the original six
teen states thai made The pilgrimage
of the ST. Lawrence last July and
that the eighteen states who now
advocate The Improvement comprise
one third of the area of the United
States and forty per cent of the popu-
lation.
The statement says: THAT the i'm
provamelt of the s.. Lawrence to
admit ocean going commerce to the
Great Lakes would sometime be made
is self-evident. Our sole effort has
been to bring it to pass Immediately
because the need is urgent"
The statement then issues an ZAP
peal TO the Nation" which says:
THESE eighteen states do not OF
themselves command a majority OF
either house. For that majority we
must reckon upon the supporting
votes of friendly and sympathetic in
terests in other coast states, in the
Gulf and the southwest; on the At
iantic seaboard and in New Eng
land.
This movement will win and viii
quickly. The forces now in motion
make that certain, if quickness is t.
be measured in comparison with the
long and tedious progress of similar
undertakings in the past, the weary
progress of a decade or a generation
But our effort is for immediate re
suits for action Oy congress withb
the year, 1t can be done The need
is urgent. 1t will be done if these
eighteen states SO determine"

most uncomfortable. Those sharp lit

dare change his position for fear he
would get some of them in him.

He did it purposely. know he did.
He is hateful. That is what he is
hateful
But Peter is fair-minded, and after
little he felt a wee bit ashamed of
such thoughts. He knew that prob
ably Prickly Perky was in the habit
of using that old hollow log in bad
weather. and that he regarded If as
his own. He knew. too. that probably
Prickly Perky hadn't known that any
one was in there, and this happened
to be the truth. So, after ali the
only thing hateful in Prickly Porky
was his refusal to let Peter out. And
as Peter listened to the storm out
side. he didn't wholly blame Prickly
Perky for not being willing to 90
out even long enough to let him get
out.
1t seemed to Peter that that storm
never would end. Every hour seemed
as long as whole day. 1t gave him
plenty of time to think. Yes, sir, it

Importance Of Keeping Well.
BY NJ, JESSIE LEITCu

IL was Saturday afternoon in the
country, which means that all the
Work was done, and the only sound
IN the house was the steady ticking
OF the old grandfather clock as its
pendulum swung to and fro There
was cracking fire in the big cook
stove. which shone brightly from a
recent polishing. The floor. from
which the paint was worn in spots,
was still damp from recent scrubbing.
Colored mats of woven rags were
| placed with precision where the paint
was most worn. In the windows, on
| the outside of which the frost was
| thick and snowy. were house plants.

| OF the stove was a huge iron pot of
| grain for the chickens. Which shows
that it was just one of those nice, big.
prosperous farm kitchens which are
to be found all across the western
prairies.
| But it wasn't exactly a happy house
on this particular Saturday afternoon,
| for the red car that was standing IN
the big barn across the yard belonged
to the family doctor. and upstairs the
mother of the house was lying very
i'll. though not as i'll as she had been.
For she was convalescing. though

daughter of the house said, was
! something to be grateful for.
| Daughter Very Hard Worked.
The daughter of the house, who, by
the way, had scrubbed the floor and
polished the stove and spread the last
| rug carefully on the painless spots
| before she went upstair rs to "clean
up" was a very busy girl indeed. For
! she was doing all the homework. as
well as caring for her mother. and
sometimes it seemed as If she could
| not keep on working SO monotonously
| for very many days more.
That was what the doctor was
thinking as he came downstairs and
stood moment in the spotless kitch-
en-. Then he called from the foot of
the stairs.
Mary! Just a moment"
Mary came hurriedly, her hair in a
braid down her back which made her
look considerably less than seventeen.

breathlessly.

HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS
BY NJ. JESSIE LE1rcH.

Mary sat down and the doctor drew
his chair close to hers, looking keenly
at her as he did SO.
You're thin. Mary" he said. And
quite tired out"
Quick tears started to Mary's eyes.
Long List of Mary's Tasks.
I'm all right. A little tired per
haps. But as long as mother is get
ting better I'll be all right"
when do you go to bed?" asked
the doctor.
TT depends. If the milking is late
it's after IL sometimes. If the boys
get through the chores early and l
can get supper over and the dishes
washed and mothers tray ready and
the breakfast table set-for the boys
and father have breakfast at in
the morning. get to bed little
earlier. Only l lie awake and worry
are such heavy sleepers. I'm always
afraid she will call and we won't
hear her"
II wonder, Mary. if you ever heard
that one of the greatest mistakes
pactical nurse makes is forgetting
her duty to herself?'
"A practical nurse! ! don't kno"
, what you mean" said the girl.
That's what you've been ever since
YOUR mother was ill., The very best
kind of a practical nurse. You've
/ done the homework and cared fol
your mother and carried out all my
orders so well that I have forgotten
to take care of you"
"But I'm all right" persisted Mary
lust tired"
"Reing just tired put your mother
! whore she is today" the doctor saio
kindly.
"One of the first lessons a trained
nurse learns is that in justice to heI
patient she must be in the best OF
health herself. Then she can take
the best care of one who is ill. II
you are tired out, and your nerves
are all awry, and you have lost sc
much sleep that your eyes are posi-
lively aching. you may make a very
grave mistake some day in giving
medicine. or falling to watch your
patient closely. Let some OF the
homework go, Mary. Get out and
run in the pasture for half an hour
Stop baking pies for the men: Tel!
them YOU are on strike. Lots OF meat
and potatoes and bread and butter
what more could they ask?'
And when the doctor went out to
his car Mary had promised to take
better care Of herself. on the princi-
pie that one sick person in the house
was enough at time. Which is one
of Iife's little but most important les
sons.

All Of a day and a night and part
Of another day Peter Rabbit was
kept a prisoner in a hollow log in the

and there was nothing Peter could do
about it. My, how slowly time did
drag! Peter couldn't recall ever hav-
ing been so uncomfortable for so
long. And there was nothing he
could do about it. No, sir, there was
nothing he could do about it.

SCHOOL BOARD DECLARED
ONLY PLACE with KICK
President Simon Reveals Secret at
Reception by Thomson Com
,,o,,r;<v Honfar
munity Center.


Why men seek the non-remunera-
tive berths on the board Of education
has been revealed.
DIR. Abram Simon. president OF the
board, in a facetious mood, told mem
bers of the Thomson Community Cen
ter at "neighborhood reception to to
last night that his position "is the one
Job in these prohibition times that has
a kick in it," He also described the
meetings of the board as "frolics.
Continued support OF the boards
was urged by Superintendent Of
Schools Frank W. Ballou. The school
administration, DR.. Ballou said, Will
continue to fight for the carrying out
of the proposed building project. al
though the Commissioners, in prepar-
slashed approximately 100000 from
the minimum amount the board said
was necessary to construct the ad-
ditional schools needed to relieve
overcrowded conditions:
THE superintendent" said DR.. Bal
lou, asked for a 100000 building
program, and the board Of education
has stood by the. guns. We do not
propose to yield. Five million dollars
is the minimum sum for an adequate
program of schoolhouse construction.
The superintendent has just begun to
wage a campaign for adequate school,
house facilities. This compaign will
be waged until we have a suitable
building program.
Board Of education members who
also spoke were Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes, Daniel A. Edwards, Edwin c.
Graham and Mrs. Margarita Spaulding

The Penciled Brow.

Often and often 1 wonder why
women shave their eyebrows. 1t is
something. to me. quite incompre-
hensible. 1t never improves the ap-
pearance, but. instead. gives an arti-
ficialtty that is obvious to every one.
1t is like putting blue paint on the
eyelidsvit is SO artificial it defeats
its own ends
I have several letters in front of
me, asking how eyebrows are shaved.
It's perfectly simple--if you must do
1t. You rub some soap into the eye
brows, regular shaving soap if you
want. because this softens the hair;
then you rub the eyebrows backward
so the hairs seem to stand on end.
then you simply shave them off with
regular or safety razor. Shave
close to the skin. so the coarse end
of the hair won't show at the sur
face.
Some girls-rather silly ones-shave
off all the brows and then make new
ones by penciiing on black line.
They look like curious figures in a
mask. Other cleverer ones shave
above the brow on it's outer line. and
a little under it on the inner line
toward the nose, thus producing 4
high arch, which. l suppose. gives
