n ECAUsE the grown people
K have been so very busy them

of the many knots in world

what the children are actually doing
in their way to help in practical and
unique methods to solve the very
similar problems of the younger gen.
GRAFTON. Much of this work is done
through the suggestion of the largest
children's organization of the world.
the Junior Red Cross. Recent reports
compiled by that society show the
following interesting things just ac-
complished by the boys and girls
working with it:
The juniors of Passaic, N. j., raised
$3.50 for the national children's fund
for work among children in foreign
countries. They put first-aid books in
163 schoolrooms. spent $500 for milk
for undernourished children, and have
made 1879 garments for hospitals, 849
and a quantity of clothing for Euro
pean refugees
In Chicago the juniors co-operated
with other organizations and arranged
to pay the transportation to and from
rural districts in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin of 10000 tenement children who
otherwise could not get away for any
air except that of the narrow, canyon
streets Of their district.
In Pittsburgh $4,000, raised by the
juniors of the Smoky city, was for
warded to headquarters. $4,000 of
which is to be used for the Pittsburgh
Farm School in France, and $1,000
toward the expenses of the Albanian
Vocational School in Tirana.
The juniors of Victoria. Tex, got
permission to scrap a cotton field,
and picked thirty-five pounds of cot
ton. which they sold and put the
money SO raised into their service
fund. They also did an unusually
pretty as well as thoughtful service
when they distributed 800 homegrown
roses as gifts to the soldiers in the
United States base hospital at San
Antonio.
1t may be seen that these school
boys and girls are growing up actu-
ally doing things that count and feel
ing the deepest interest and enthu-
siasm for them.

In the mirror was region OF real
enchantment. Tall hollyhocks grew
in the narrow glass panel, and the
sunlight pouring upon their pink and
crimson chalices made them look
like cups full of sparkling-well
punch at least. A billowy white cloud

Ironing.

Even If you use an electric iron.
ironing is warm work in summer.
The worst possible way you can go
about reducing the size of your iron
ing in warm weather is to cut down
on the number of clothes you have
in your laundry basket every week.
The best way to go about it is to
have as many articles as possible
Of the sort that do not need to be
ironed.

PARIS.
When Irene Castle launched the
huge decorative turban on dance
floor in the Bois she began a fashion
that might become as universal in
America as her bobbed hair. Ex-
elusive Frenchwomen insist that it
is already too popular to be desired.
but the American has a way of lik
ing what is popular. She takes her
clothes by the opinion of the masses
rather than the fastidious individual
Here is the situation regarding the
oriental turban as far as the observer
can find il out: The milliners who
cater to the American buyers and the
stage will continue to make it for
some weeks. and the belief is that
it will kill itself by popularity in
America. But will it? The Russian
turban had long. successful life.
The Indian tufban may have the
same.
At any rate there are mlliners
who refuse to build it for their eli
ents. They say it is dead for the
smart American. On the other

handling and not because of it.
I do not believe that implicit
obedience" is the first requisite in
child training. do not believe that
surest test of a child's mental and
moral value. 1t is comfortable to
live with, but as an ultimate aim it's
deplorable.
Some of the most useful and dy-
manic characters in history have been
least of implicit obedience" Nine
tenths of the social stagnation,
scientific stupidity and downright
cruelty of man to man has been
caused by beautifully behaved people
who believed IN implicit obedience to
ideals and customs which no longer
served the needs of humanity. A
vast amount of rebellion is founded
on a divine desire to find good. A
vast amount of nice behavior is
founded on disgusting fear and lack
of imagination. Some of the vilest
on the ideal of implicit obedience
under all circumstances" Witness
the thing we fought during the late
war.
A classical example of implicit
obedience is the boy who stood on
the burning deck-and got all that
was coming to him. / remember dis
tinctly that the poor simpleton was
held up to me as q model during my
childhood days Their efforts were
in vain. If any one thinks that I'm
going to stand on any burning deck
until papa tells me to get OF. they're
badly fooled!
And SO, for all the little scamps
who will not fit into the petrified
mold of perfect obedience, have
the most comradely sympathy, un-
derstandfng and an abiding faith. I
like good children, But absolutely
obedient children under all circum-
stances'-no! They're as unnatural
as trained mice.

parents who are so sure OF the cor
rectness OF their own viewpoints and
