THE HISTORY OF ME BY ME.
CHAPTER XXXIu. Trouble at Our House.

Today my doctor threatened to pu1 my Daddy over her knee and spank him. Wouldn't that look funny? Doctor is a good sized woman but my Daddy is most twice as big and so strong, I couldn't tell you how strong he is. When Doctor, who has known him ever since he was little boy, threatened to spank him it made us all laugh.
 It came about this way. Doctor had in to look me over, as she does ire quent1y to keep me going fine, and Daddy came in with a lot of anti vivise ction literature in his hand. He said: "Oh. it is terrible, the cruelties that are practised on animals for medical research, and no good comes from 1t. from what they say. I be- Heve I shall vote to do away with such inhuman practises.' Then it was my Doctor threatened to put him over his knee and spank him.
 ITO think that you, an educated man, Harry Eliot, would do such thing as that without Investigating both sides of the storyi Would you do away with all research in surgery and on cancer. infantiie para1ys:s ana other terrible disease? It is incon- ceivable that you should dream or such a thing"
 But, Doctor Daddy said, this literature quotes many highly emil nent physicians who claim that a large majority of the medical fra ternity oppose animal experimenta- tion." Then Doctor exploded.
 That is absolutely false. There are no eminent doctors who oppose vivisectton. Many of those so-caI1ed feminent' doctors that this literature you have been reading quotes. were born over 100 years ago. Some of them were not doctors at all but mes merists. archeologists, lecturers, etc., and even though they were eminent physicians 100 vars or so ago. what would they know about modern meth ods of research and anesthesia? Many of these so-called eminent doctors that are featuring now against vivisection are not eminent at all in their own profession but are elderly men who graduated years pe- fore the science of bacteriology was known, and they have not kept up with their profession.'
 'But Doctor, Sir Frederick Treves certainly could not be c1assed this

way and he is quoted as being against animal experimentation, and Dr. Will jam J. Mayo is one of the forem ost surgeons of our day and he is against it."
 My dear boy" Doctor said. read this. Read what Dr. Treves and Dr. Mayo say themselves. The first is an article taken from The London Times of April. 1902. and pr. Treves wrote it:
 Those who are familiar with the controversial methods of the anti vivisection party, will not be surpris- ed that certain of my remarks have been cunning'ly isolated from the con- text, and have been used in adver- tisements, pamphlets, and speeches, to condemn all vivisection expert- nnents as useless. No one is more keen1y aware than I am of the great benefits conferred on suffering hu- manity by certain researches carried out by means of vivisection.'
 ttAnd this is what Dr. Mayo says:
 e. The trouble with the anti vivisectionists is that they are not only dishonest. but wilfully dishonest. They picked out one sentence from a paragraph in my address. exploited 1t for their purpose. ignoring the fact
  was quite contradictory to the views expressed. The truth is not in these people,
 Now" said Doctor. mot only do want you to realize that you cannot believe these people, but I want you to realize that if it had not been for the researches through the anfmaI experimentation of Pasteur and Lister and other noted men you might have lost Sockums' Mama and Sockums too when he was born. Puerpera1 or childbed fever used to kill many women after childbirth and it is through our knowledge of antiseptics gained by animal experime ntation that we have very little of that terri bIe disease now. And puerperal fever is only one of very many terrible d1- seases that we have control of through our knowledge gained in this manner"
 My daddy looked at my Mama and me very tenderly and said: Doctor, I did not realize. Sockums, old man, we sure are glad we have little Mama with us aren't we?' Thousands Of Mamas and Babies against few anr- mals! Not much question how we stand, is there Sockums?

CAPTAIN ASKED ID WRITE BOOK
 FOR CHILDREN

When Captain Harold A. Cunning ham, commander of the Steamship George Washington of the United States Lines, instituted a "children's hour aboard his vessel he little real lzed the furore the innovation would create. He is today being sought af- urging him to write a book of the short stories of the sea with which he has gladdened the hearts of little travellers.
 tain Cunningham was greeted by a pile Of mail that fairly staggered him. The letters came from children and grown ups who were desirous of obtaining copies of the stories told by the ge- n1al captain. In creating the "chil- dren's hour" aboard the Steamship George Washington, which, Ey the way, is the largest passenger vessel in operation under the American flag Captain Cunningham wanted to give the wee voyagers something they would ever remember.
 During the "children's hour'' the little travellers are conducted to the office of the captain to harken unto stories of the deep, blue sea. No groWnups are permitted at the ses- sion. It is entirely for the little folk. Captain Cunningham has a great liking for children and his fund of sea stories is wel1-nigh inexhausti- ble.
 Realizing that everything is being done for the comfort and entertain ment of the grownups Captain Cum nfngham felt that something out of the ordinary should be done for the children and so came into being the ''children's hour.' The time chosen for the assembly of the children is usually set for the latter part of the afternoon when the captain Is free from duty on the bridge. The chill dren are assembled in the ships lounge and guided by stewards to the captains quarters. After shaking hands all around the captain groups the children about him and regales them with the story of Davey Jones and his famous locker at the bottom
 of the sea, the story of the Little Lost Albatross, the Convention of the | many others from his limitless roper tOire.
 The "chi1drens hour" has been one of the most popular innovations intro duced aboard the vessels of the Unit l ed States Lines fleet. The children who have been fortunate enough to 1 exporter nce the thrill of meeting the commander of the big George Wash ington and listening to his stories have a memory that will never leave them. After the story session the captain all lows the children to ask him questions and 1t is this part of the "children's hour' that is most trying to the com mander. Here are some of the ques- tions he is asked:
 What makes the ocean blue? ~ Do they keep crow in the crows nest?
 How can you see to steer the boat | at night without headlights?

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
 FOR CHURCH GIVING

Chicago, Nov. 3-To awaken the conscience and intelligence of the peo- pIe of the Protestant Episcopal Church to their needs set out in the program adopted at the Portland General Convention, thereby raising the average of regular giving through out the Communion, Is the main ob- Ject in view in the nationwide cam paign to be conducted wholly within the ranks of the Church, according to a statement by Chicago headquar- terS of the denomination.
 Results of the campaign in the three years now closing encourage church leaders in the belief that the ensuing three years will be equally succ essfu1, says the statement, quot ing the secretary of the field depart ment.
 'In the eighty eight dioceses of tho Church in the United States the work of informing our people of the con vention program and explaining the educational methods to the leaders already is going forward,' continues the statement. Our reports show enthusiasm and determination that will go for another big advance in the missionary, educational and social service felds'
 The program, which fixed a budget years work. will support 5000 mis- sionaries in America ond throughout the world and carry on the work of religious and social service to which the church is committed. A forward program also was adopted involving an additional S8,40O,000 of which eighty-two percent. will be spent in the United States and its territorial possessions for hospitals, sch ools, new churches and community houses, with special emphasis upon work among Indians, negroes, mountaineers and mill workers, according to plans. Americanization and rural and indus trial effort also come under the pro- gram.
 An appropriation of $2.oo0.0oo for denominational colleges and for stu dent work at fifty-five of the great secular institutions all over the land. is provided in the program. The budget is to be raised by quotas in the three years ending 1925.

SHAMPOO PRELINfINARIEs.

Shampooing the head isn't, as most people think, mere matter of bend ing over O basin of water with large cake of soap in ones hand. This carless attempt at cleansing will cer- tain1y remove some of thedirt and oil from the scalp and it may, in the case of a very healthy head, leave the hair soft and glossy. But the chances are 100 to 10 that the brush and comb acquires a white film for days afterwards, that the hair too limp or dull or hard to do up, so the whole shampoo period is anything but pleasant time.
 And all this because a few simple shampoo preliminaries are omitted as being too troublesome. If you want your hair to thrive and prosper shampoo must be stimulating and beautifying as we'll as cleansing and the treatment must begin some time before you run the hot water into the basin.
 Every other time the hair is sham pooed, that is about once every six weeks), the hair should be singed Make any number of small tight braids or twists, run the hand back wards over each to pull up as many loose ends as possible and then run a lighted match or taper near the hair to sing off these ends. This can easily be done by oneself with no danger of burning the hair, though it is always p1easanter to have some one else hold the match. If you are nervous about the process clip off these little ends with a pair of sharp scissors instead of burning

CHAPTER XIII. Counsel for the Defense.

Counsel for the Defense.
 Those of my male readers who were residents of our city at the time of the primaries of that year will re- call being called up by telephone about breakfast time that morning MT. Bolton desired to remind them that it was election day.
 Later, at the office. a telephone from MT. Bolton asked if they had voted before coming down town; if not, when they desired to vote. ana if they should be called for by the bus?
 About noon, yet another to the eff fesct that the machine would pick them up at their office door in fifteen minutes. If 1t was impossible to go at that time, the telephone became a persistent reminder that they hadn't voted and should.
 Many people must have been nat tered by the attention of MT. Bolton that day. He kept three hundred tel etphones busy fattering them. SIX rubmernecks and a score of smaller machines rushing them out to the polls, and he got out just a trife over eighty-five per cent of the registered vote of that city.
 And he lay on his back in bed all day, too.
 I have my doubts whether the story of Battling Butt-In's prize ring prowess in that mornings Sentiner materially affected the result one way Or another. because this primary was too unlike any other that I had known to be influenced by newspaper stuff or prize fight fans.
 The whole male population of the town was hammered out of inertia into voting action. and they pushed ballots for our delegates into the boxes from early morn to dewy eve.
 Whalen's slate was showed under so deep that it couldn't be dug out of any ward in the city, and his chagrin was increased to positive pain by three husky pugs, who beat him up in his own office for having sicked them on to Battling Lewis
 I have mentioned the inquiry held over Mflly Dilly's wayward and un- conventional actions in the willow ware bungalow matter. It took place the day Butt-In butted in to Burt's best spare room, and he held MiIIy Dilly's hand and acted as her attorney during the investigation, warning her when not to answer and fncrfminare herself. and all that

them. It takes longer, that is all. That is one important preliminary.
 If the hair is dull or full of dandruff second important preliminary Is to beat up an egg and rub it into the scalp half an hour or so before sham pooing. If the hair has excessive dandruff rub it with ail the night be- fore.
