meet periods of depression should be
willing to accept employment at

the employment depression which
threw between five and six million
men into idleness and to reduce the
number of our working men VINO are
daily without means of livlihood.
'We have a powerful agency. in
meeting both Of these problems in
gagged in. On this point he said:.
"The lesson of the past year seems
to be not so m1cn OF a problem OF all
actual dearth Of employment but
rather one of inability of the Amer
lean workman to adjust themselves
\to changing circumstances. We re-
cognize that the exalted place of our
craftsmen has been obtained through
specialization, but in specializing we
soon have lost sight Of The fact that
there are other lines of: employment
than those habitually followed. i
would be the last one to suggest that
a skilled craftsman should undertake
to become a "jack of all trades" but
I would urge upon every idle work
man that when there is inactivity in
his trade he use every etfort:to adapt
himself to some other line. of work.
Manifestly the skilled workman can,
if he will, do work Of some other
kind, but my experience has been
that too often when idleness is forced
upon him he rejects the thought of
other employment for one or more
of several reasons: He may not be
able to secure the high wages in
other employment; he may be. under
the impression that the secondary
employment will lose him prestige
in his primary occupation. There
are, of course, so-called seasonal oc-
cupations which there is known in
termittency. of employment but in
these occupations, the wages are US
ually higher and the man who follows
such a one can fortify himself against
the season of unemployment. =
: .'The United States Employment
Service, as a nationala organization,
keeps in touch with the general sit
uation of every part Of the country.
Its points of contact, however, are
necessarily limited by the smallness
of it's appropriations and for this
same reason there can heuvery- little
educational work done along. the line
of encouraging secondary employ
ments. The national employment
service should be clearing house
and an agency for the dissemination
of not only information but of con-
structive suggestions along the lines
I have indicated."

TURKISH OIL FIELDS
E., MAY BE THE RICHEST

other oil wells are situated in the
southeastern part of kurdlstan, at
Kifri, Thuz- khurmati: kend-i-Shirln,
Kerkuk and Suleims snieh. The oil re-
gion, extends far into Persia. -
A very ric.s oil field is also at Zak-
ho,, about days ride to the lortfl
OF MosuI, while the neighbcrnood Of
Erzerum end Van, in Northeastern
and eastern Asia Minor, and even
now under the occupation OF the
Turkish nationalist army, is another
territory particularly rich in oil.
1t would be a great error however,
to believe, that the present condition
of these fields is anywhere near sys-
tematic exploitation. On the con-
trary, they are all in primitive con-
dition and have up to now served
merely to meet the personal needs OF
the, population Of the neighborlng
villages.
Practically all the wells are just
simple pits, the oil forming little
pools in them. The natives dip buck
cts and goat skins into them to re-
move the oil, and sometimes it is re-
moved even with palm leaves or the
hollow hand!
It goes without saying that with
these methods of exploitation origi-
mating from the biblical period, the
oil wells of Kurdistan, or, as they
are better known, Of the county OF
Mosul, have not yet yielded any
revenues worth mentioning. But in
trying to lease them to foreign and
American enterprise for exploitation
the Turkish government desires to
open one of the richest natural re-
sources of its country to modern
methods of exploitation and organl-
zation.
The Tigris river is a very import
ant factor in the future transporta-
tion of the oil which will probably
be shipped down the river and into
the Persian Gulf bp tank steamers
With modern working methods ap-
piled to them, the oil wells of Mossu
will probably become one of the
most powerful of oil-producing dis
tricts in the world, but until then
the patient and untiring work OF sew
eral years and considerable capital
will be necessary to make them
paying enterprise.

Dear Sisters: When I used to be busy with the many duties of farmers wife, I enjoyed putting book or paper in a convenience position and memorizing a poem while I worked So Samantha $ letter brought the Old Ways and New poem to my mind and am asking the editor to use 1t at the beginning of our page in the way of an answer to Sa- montha's question. I, too see much in the line Samantha speaks of. My next neighbor wonders where the money will ever come from for next winters fuel, but frequently runs to the corner store to carry home a tray of college ices. would not deny poor people taste of ice cream, but when money Is scarce, 1t could be bought by the pint and several dimes saved.

Beginning when little over five at the Kinder garten, then along with school work, go- ing to, dancing classes, as soon as they are seven, then the music lessons and church entertainment that children lit in- to so nicely.

Dear Cornerites: read with no little interest the letter of Father Time. There was much in It that many could profit from There are many women who, viewing their past married life, make little resolutions about what they would and would not do if they married for a second time. I sometimes do the same, never, however, from the standpoint of another husband but of another home.
 Marriage is the beginning of home to most women and for me it was a de- lightful period of furnishing, building up and collecting household goods around me. They grew with the years until I am now the proud, but unhappy. possessor of a considerable amount of personal property. If I married again I should not repeat that delight. I would furnish very small flat with the utmost simplicity. would steel my heart against the lure of becoming fond of my beds, tables and chairs. and I should bar all pieces of beautiful china and brass which would rend s1y heart to lose once | possessed them
 Possessions lead to anxiety and per petual expense. The happy folk who have a "1atlet" full of ''arty' furniture which can be made again if it is sold or lost, are as free as the wind, and can roam and live where they please. My life Is made a thing of discontent and strain at the anchorage which my home has made for me. Offers to go abroad are turned down because it would be a terrible expense, to move, and it would break my heart to part with the oak etc" When an opportunity arises tc let our home at profit, we refuse il because strange hands handling our pre- cious china Ills us with terror.
 No, if I married again. or rather, sci up housekeeping all over again, I should my home up in the way I intended it tc go-and that is a place of rest and com fort, but with no false gods or love ex- pended upon inanimate things.

A VISIT To HAPPYLANp.

Dear Folks: There is a Happy Land far, far away, where saints in glory stand, bright, bright. as day. This was the first song, as child, 1 ever remem- Der hearing, and it's words and melody have had deep influence over my life, and now when l hear the old song that mother first taught me, think of her, of the old home and heaven.
 The Happyland, however, which l have in mind now and visited the other afternoons is a place where nature has done much to make it attractive, and beautiful, the shaded grove of large oak trees, the expanse of water where the tide ebbs and flows, and the wonderful salt water breeze, that exceeds that on the beaches on the Sound, miles farther away. Happyland Is situated not a great ways from Norwich and the seen ic beauty there is wonderful. There IS a spacious pavilion there, and I had a good visit with the genial proprietor with whom I am a little acquainted. If you are tired and wish to spend rest full hour, take a short trip down to Hap pyland, near the long bridge that crosses Poquetanuck cove, on the Mili- tary highway

cUARDrxa THE YOUNG FOLKS

Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: 1 agree with Samantha there is much need less waste and another thing Is careless ness, and thoughtlessness. know many accidents cannot be avoided but many times if we would be more careful and stop, look and listen how much time would be saved and how many injuries would be prevented. I am glad to see the railroads set a good example with their careful crossing campaign, with the pictures to illustrate the danger, being posted.
 A noted speaker recently told of the startling fact of so few out of a hundred persons who reach the allotted number of three score years and ten. I know he said they all have certain diseases but through the excessive use of alcohol, to- bacco, coffee, tea and so on, weaken the strength and natural resistance of the body to throw off and overcome these diseases Each time we break natures laws we break Gods law and hinder oul body in doing the work of taking care oi It just that much.
 The young boys and girls who art starting to earn are advised to save s certain amount and put it in a good bank to have in case of need, another amount given regularly to a needed cause. Thrift is good also the giving to do good, wher one is in health and with mind ad eye. open see the needs and to know one 1. doing good to some one.
 One person said the greatest regret o. his life was, that his money would not dc him any good unless spent in gooS cause after he was gone, for he did no know until too late how much pleasur,
 he could have had from giving while h, was in health and able to do so. He tolS ] told this to warn others.

CANNING GREEN PEAS.

Dear Corner Members This is the sea- son of the year when we must begin to preserve the abundance that it may be available in the winter months. It may not be just the same as picking right from the garden but it Is next to it. l always try to can green peas.
 If you have your own vegetable gar den the problem of getting green peas perfectly fresh for canning is mini mixed. But if you must rely on the city markets the dificulty is very real.
 Wash pods well. Shell. Be careful not to bruise the peas. Put enough peae GO one jar in a cheesecloth square.
 Dip in boiling water and let boil five minutes. Or place in a colander over boiling water and steam 10 minutes.
 Plunge at once into cold water and lift out immediately. Plunge again into another pan Of fresh cold water and lift out immediately.
 Drain. Pack in sterilized jars tc within one inch from top of jar Add one-half teaspoon salt to pint can and one-half teaspoon sugar.
 Fill isrs to within one-fourth Inch from theNtop with boiling water. Fit on rubber and half seal To half sea tighten cover with thumb and little fin ger as tight as possible.
 To. half seal spring top glass jar adjust cover and pull over top bail, but do not clamp down the bail over the jar
 Put jars in canner. The water in tn carner should. cover the jars by twr inches When water begins to boil aftei filling canner with the jars boil for foul hours
 Remove jars from canner and hnisl sealing. Turn upside down to test fo leakage. Cool as quickly as ossible. MABS.

LEARN HOW 10 PLEASE A MAN.

Dear Social Corner: It pleases man to ask for his advice. Most men have advice to give away, and they are always willing to bestow 1t on women gratis. It pleases a man for a woman to depend on him. to show him her new gown or hats. and to ask him if he likes them. man likes his wife or sweetheart to recognize the fact that he takes 8 great interest in her attire and if you wish to put your lover in good temper, ask his advice.
 Tenderness is another thing that pieases man, and the man who does not appre- ciate tenderness from woman has never yet existed. He may dislike superabun- dance of attention from the fair sex but he will appreciate one womans tendec- ness and care. A man Is not only called upon to sacrifice many of his bachelor enjoymelts. when he becomes engaged but when he Is married he has still other trihes to forego. II is for the pleasure and joy of having wife and home of his own that he is more than proud of his partnership. Everything works so smooth ly that he is happy-very happy; and still there comes to him a special bit of sweet ness when his wife puts her arms around his neck and whispers in his ear that she loves him-loves him so very much No girl could wait the adoration of her lover with greater joy than a man loves the tenderness showered upon him by loving wife.
 But just as some men grow lax in their attentions to their young wives, so also many young wives forget to keep ever burning the furnace of their love upon the domestic hearth. Do not forget this my young married readers do not let a day go by without telling hubby how much you love him. Then You will not be looking for a divorce later. Believe me and try 1t.

HOW TO GET RID OF BIG BLACK
 ANTS

Dear Social Corner Sisters It is a long time since I have written, but am still interested in the letters.
 Betsey ,Bobbitt: was sorry not to have seen you Sunday with your daughter. We were much interest ed in your letter telling about the Quaker meeting house. I wonder just where 1t was. No one in this part of Lebanon seems to know anything about it.
 One of the sisters asked how to get rid of big black ants. Get a little tar taremetic at a drug store and mix il with sugar and water in little shallow dishes. Set them where the ants TUT and they will disappear The dose !; poison so do not use it if there Is dan ger of anyone tasting of it.
 good ant-trap that I discovered by accident Is q frosting sugar box. The ants run in but cannot climb out. or. al least they did not climb out. Perhaps they liked to stay
 Rosemary: I enjoyed seeing you ant your home and hope you can take a ridi down this way some time. We made good time coming home and had ver3 pleasant trip.
 Best wishes to all the sisters.
