SET THE STANDARD TOO Low
National Motion Picture Director
Gives His Opinion as to Mis-

VIII Hays, the new motion-picture
director, said the other day in New

TOO many motion-picture people

They are like the chorus girl

message in the wayside flower"
This is the time when fruits of all
kinds must be put away for winter,
just when 1t Is the most enjoyable to
be out of doors. If one plans ahead,
much out of door life may be enjoyed
In ones own back yard, or on ones
porch.
The jars for the fruit may be ster-
ilized, then sealed and when cool the
fruit may be picked over in some
slightly out-of-door spot, the jars filled
and when all are ready, filed with hot
strip, covered not too tightly, placed
In the oven on a cloth or folds OF
paper dipped In water In dripping
pan and baked in the oven. When the
berries have boiled, remove, seal and
put away for winter. This method is a
good one for the busy housewife as 1t
does away with the hot open kettle
canning. The fruit has lovely color
and the flavor Is well preserved.
Delicious Uncooked Grape Jelly
Crush the ripe fruit, drain and mix
with twice as much sugar as juice
stir well until the sugar is dissolved
then pour into jelly glasses. The next
day the Jelly will be Arm enough to

Grape Sherbet.-Take three pounds
of Concord grapes, three lemons, three
pints of water, and three cupfuls OF
sugar. Wash the grapes and put them
into saucepan, mash and squeeze
out all the juice, measure the juice
add an equal quantity of water to the

and add more water to equal the

Many of the old darkies In the
South handle a violin bow with con-

One day he and the aged servant
were fiddling together, and as they
finished the piece the employer said:

Sound Vibrations,

1t is reported that certain expert
ments have shown that a vibration of
sound having an amplitude of less
than one-tw elve-millionth of a cent?
meter could still affect the sense of
hearing. Such vibration would be so
short that 1t would have to be en-
larged one hundred times before the
most powerful microscope could rem
der 1t visible, supposing that it were
capable of being seen at all. Old per-
sons, 1t is said, do not hear high notes
which are audible to young persons,
and there is reason to believe that
babies hear notes that are inaudible to
their elders-New York Herald.

The more you realize how deeply
interested God is in every soul, the
more you will be inclined to believe
In the Christian religion, which tells
you what he did to show this love.
To believe In the love Of the Trinity
drives you to believe In the incarna-
ton and the descent OF the Holy Spirit.

From the time girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl Is then
passing through Is so critical, and may
have such far-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
IT ID almost criminal for mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many q woman has suffered years
OF prolonged pain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
lessness or ignorance on the part Of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers az difficulties
that beset this period
Mothers should tel Ia their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
