HAND OCCUPATION
WITH AN ENVELOPE


It will interest mothers to know
how much can be done with an en-
velope and pair of scissors in the
way of providing diversion, occupa-
ton and even instruction for chill
dren. These hints apply to different
ages. The first eight may be used
with many children of five or six
years of age, the rest with children
from six to ten.
1. Cut out the stamp neatly from
the corner of an envelope, and cut
out the post park. Explain why there
is post mark. There may be more
than one.
2. Keep stamps after cutting out,
using them to make pretty borders
and other designs. Mingle stamps OF
different colors.
3. Draw on the inside of the enve-
lope the train that carries letters to
us, or the rural delivery wagon, or the
automobile.
4. Cut off one or more clean cor
ners of the envelope in the shape of a
triangle. Each triangle may be used
as boob-mark by slipping it on the
corner of a leaf. Decorate the tri-
angle with simple designs. Older
children may paint a flower and
younger children may mount a pretty
little picture on each triangle.
5. Cut an envelope into pieces us
ing the creases as guides. Cut sew
eral and form designs with the pieces.
Each piece may be colored with cray
ons. paint. or colored pencils.
g.. Fold the envelope SO as to form
a basket or any other object you
choose.
7. Draw a door and window on a
long envelope. Press the corners of
the envelope out. so that 1t appears
to be house. The doors and win
dows may also be cut so as to open
and shut. Color the house.
s. Play postman. Make mail bag
TO swing over the shoulder. Make a
letter box in which to mail letters. A
child may deliver letters to the diff
ferent members OF the family. He
should be- made 10 appreciate this
duty as letters are often very impor-
tant. There is an ethical lesson here
on responsibility.
8. Learn to open and close enve-
lope neatly with paper cutter with
out injuring the contents. This can
sometimes be done by rolling a pen
ell carefully under the flap
10. Open out the whole envelope
and notice its shape, then try,to make
one of the same size; first measure
the paper to be used place the enve-
lope on the paper, trace II and then
fold carefully.
IL. Practice. II old enough. ad-
dressing an envelope to father,
mother. aunt cousin or friend. Also
mount a stamp in the upper right
hand corner leaving a white margin
around the stamp. Explain the i'm
portance Of using the correct corner.

HOW DO you TACKLE YOUR
WORK.

How do you tackle your work each
day?
Are you scared of the job you find?
Do you cripple the task that comes
your way?
With a confident, easy mind?
Do you stand right up to the work
ahead,
Or fearfully pause to view it?
Do you start to toll with sense of
dread,
Or feel that you're going to do it?
You can do much as you think you
can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young
man,
There's little for you in store.
For failure comes from the inside
first,
It's there, if we only knew it,
And you can win, though you face
the worst,
If you feel that you're going to do
it.
Success! It's fund in the soul of YOU,
And not in the realm of luck!
The world viii furnish the work to
do,
But you must provide the pluck.
You can do whatever you think you
can,
It's all the way you view it.
It's all in the start that you make
young man;
How do you tackle your work each
day?
With confidence clear, or dread?
What to yourself do you stop and
say,
When new task lies ahead?
What is the thought that is in your
mind?
Is fear ever running through it?
If so, just tackle the next you find
By thinking you're going to do it.

Col. Charles R.\{'orbes at the Vet
Grams Bureau has cleared decks for
the elimination of unnecessary over
head expense. duplication Of work
and for the institution Of co-ordi-
mated systems of operation of all the
offices and bureaus that come under
his direction. To do this an indus
trial survey of the entire bureau Is
being planned under the guidance OF
Col. f. A. Shepherd. who established
reputation for such work in Wash
ington by his service in the Shipping
Board reorganization recently.
First of all, according to Col.
Forbes. efficiency means the greatest
possible service at the least possible
cost to the government. This. in its
ultimate solution, means the extrac-
tion of the smallest possible operat-
ing funds paid into the Treasury De-
partment by American taxpayers.
That is the basis on which the sur
vey is being made.
Cause Of Duplication.
OF next consideration Is the cause
for existence Of duplication of work
and unnecessary overhead at the
present time in the Veterans Bureau.
Some time ago. 1t will be remembered,
this bureau became the conglomer-
ated melting pot for the old bureau
of war risk insurance. the public
health service and the board for vo-
cational training. When these three
distinct organizations merged under
one head it was impossible that en-
tire distinction of various units or
these boards be eliminated on the
moment.
Result: DIR. T. H. Scott. executive
officer of the bureau. walked through
the establishment one day with COL
! Forbes and found three different
| mailing divisions and three orfour
different supply centers as Well as
similar distinct units which could just
as well be combined into single CEN
| tralized units.
In greater or lesser degree this SIT
uation prevailed throughout the en-
| tire establishment. Then Col. Shep-
herd walked Into the scene. He had
had experience in the Shipping Board
along lines similar in the general
plan to what was needed IL the vet
erans' Bureau.
Result Of Survey.
After a short talk with the direct
ing officials of the Veterans bureau
he found that what was sought was:
Quick service and speeding up OF
claims of the veterans OF the worio
war.

also the service men who have deal

And all this does not mean that the
personnel of the bureau is in for a
big cut. That Is contingent upon
other causes. For instance. the bu-
reau, under the act by which 1t oper-
cationaI training yesterday. The peak
Of the vocational training load has
been passed. 1t is indicated since the
number of men now in training Is ap-
proximately $4,000. as compared with
1896 in March last. Then. too, the
bureau has found marked decrease
irf the number of claims for compen-
sation, although this does not neces-
sarily mean less work. since the work
en- claims is more dependent upon the
type of claims, rather than upon the
number sent in.

operating at the present time with
wilful waste or eXtravagant use Of
funds: 1t is already on high plane
of efficiency. What Is desired Is to
raise this plane still higher. Col.
Shepherd is authority for these state-
ments. He declared he found no seri-
Gus breaches of good business man
agement existent in the bureau I'm his
cursory survey. But by scientific an
alysis of the work being done in the
bureau he hopes to find means for
Improvement. 1t Is simply the polish
! ing off of the business system already
in vogue in the bureau.
His aims are to better the service to
such an extent that service men may

things running so smoothly that in
stant service can be given, so far as
possible. and to benefit In the end. not

The recent reduction of personnel
was made possible largely by the

MUCH CANADIAN WHEAT
DIVERTED TO u. S. PORTS
Better Facilities Giuen for Ex-
port, Is Reason.

American ports with better facilities
and cheaper insurance are attracting
the bulk of the Canadian export wheat
crop, according to the report of a
Canadian legislative committee ap-
pointed to delve into the question In
1921. it is reported. 100000 bushels were
shipped via Buffalo, whereas only
100000 bushels went by way of
Georgian Bay and Port Corbonne.
Summarized. the reasons for this loss
In traffic are given as the attraction
of better distribution centers. such as
New York. which always has aburtant
ocean tonnage for all parts of the
world; the abundance of elevator stor-
age at Fort William and at Buffalo;
the cheapness of lake and water trans
portation via Buffalo to New York
taltlough the all water rate 10 Mon
treal is trifle cheaper than to New
York via Buffalo. the saving does not
seem to attract much business, prob
ably because of the cheaper marine in
surance from New York;; high insur-
ance rates on the st. Lawrence,
especially after August
