REAL CHARITY

She was a Red Cross worker and was standing at the en-
trance to one of the movie theatres soliciting funds for dis
tressed Japan.
1t was interesting work. Never monotonous II one studied the
people as this Red Cross worker did.
They were pleasant folk and generous folk, most of them,
as they dropped their nickles, dimes, quarters and half dol
lars in the box the worker held towards them as they entered
the theatre. OH occasionally some one would pass her by
with a disgruntled expression, or would make some comment
on the everlasting begging of the day, but this worker would
only smile and feel sympathy in her heart for the lack OF
charity and love in the heart of her fellow.
But the point Of my story is this, for 1t is what I'M

at the entrance to the theatre: As she stood there hundreds
Of people on the street passed her by. They would give her
perhaps a kindly smile, but not coming into the theatre it

coin i'll her box. Until one very shabbily dressed young work

Farm Family Events
Needed At Fairs

In order to give the farm family
a better representation at the agri-
cultural fairs, New Jersey home eco
Monies workers recommend the
holding of litter families contests,
similar to those which have aroused
so much interest in the big fairs in
the West.
Families are classified according
to the number of members they
have,'' says Mrs. Ida s. Harrington,
of the State College of Agriculture.
in describing the contests. For .ex-
ample the classes might be father,
mother, and one child" father,
mother and twelve children" or
father, mother, four children and
grandfather Families are scored
for the percentage of physical fitness
which they, as a family, represent.
If the score is low, the family is adj
vised to work toward the hundred
mark by such means as better food
habits, saner methods of work and
play, freer use of fresh air, treat
ment for physical ailments, or what
ever is needed to make them posi-
BILE prize winners another year.
"Where these contests have been
tried keen interest has been shown
by the farm families, for they come
early to avoid the rush" at the office
of the physician who gives the ex-
aminations and makes the score.
considering how much this state
has done in freeing her fairs from
gambling devices and fakirs, and in
Producing Better Babies contests
and health exhibits, it is to be ex-
pected that New Jersey fairs will be
the first in the East to copy the
Filter Families idea.
"Prize exhibits such as New Jer-
sey already offers deserve prize ex-
hibitors."

AMERICAN GIRL FIRST
BY MARIAN HALE
NEA Service writer)

NEW YORK-The only type of
girl who appeals to people of all
countries with equal force is the
American.
Elsie Cohen, production manager
of the only motion picture studio in
Holland, says so.
"And no matter where you take
your pictures, you have to rely upon
the American girl to put them over"
she states.
I'm Holland, for instance" she
goes on, 1--WE have the most pic
turesque scenery and excellent light
and climate for pictures. But unless
we have an American girl for the
heroine, our pictures are only local
in their appeal.
II don't mean, of course, that
Holland girls are not beautiful and
that they are not appreciated in
their native land, for some of them
are very lovely. But they are not
the type that appeals to the cosmo-
politan taste. The American, on the
contrary, is just as much adored in
Singapore as she is in Cincinnati.
Two Reasors
Miss Cohen believes that there are
two reasons for this. First, that the
American girl is a composite type
with the best of all nations in her,
and. second, because she knows SO
well how to dress.
1.-The American girl can express
youth in her clothes as no other girl
in the world can" she continued.
1.-THE English girl. naturally tall
and athletic looking, always man
ages to look older and mor angular
than she really is in her pictures.
The French girl is bound to look
artificial.
'The Italian woman's naturally
lovely features become too heavy
under the camera. But the Amer
lean girl looks on the screen just as
she does on the golf links or at the
matinee.
Occasionally a foreign actress
has a worldwide popularity, but she
is the exception that proves the
rule"
Pioneer in Movies
Miss Cohen makes trips TO Amer
lea twice a year to look over our
beauty market and our plays, and
to take back to Holland such &C
t~resses and films as she finds most
suited to her purposes.
She is one of the women pioneers
in the executive department of mo-
ton pictures. She sees a great fu-

FRESH SWEET CORN

OF course, corr is delicious a

are innumerable other ways to serve
fresh sweet corn that are quite as
delicious.
Corn buildings or souffles, cream

and baked corn combined with other
vegetables, all these ways aid in pro-
viding variety to late summer menus.
The woman in the country will well
come any suggestion that may be
different in the way of serving vege-
tables.

ait for a king and to my mind
much nicer to serve to guests than

If corn is not fresh from the gar

to replace the natural sweetness.
Corn very quickly loses its sweetness
after picking.

There is no xcu for the baby
sleeping with its mother. Expen-
sive beds are not at all necessary,
a good sized, square, willow clothes
basket will serve every purpose and
is good looking besides.
Give the basket two coats OF fiat
white paint and a coat Of enamel,
inside and out. If this isn't decora-
tive enough one a use big bows OF
pink or blue satin ribbon on the
handles. The baskets that are COW
cred daintily with pink silesia and
then dotted swiss or net, T gor-
geous to look at, but they are so
soon bedraggled and wilted looking
that they are not worth all b ef-
fort and expense.
When the basket which Is paint
ed needs to be cleaned it may be
placed in the bath tub, scrubbed with
a brush and rinsed, and set in the
sun to dry. II can be kept perfect
" sweet and clean in this way.
Use a hair mattress If possible
for the bottom. At any rate DO
not use a feather pillow which is too

is fairly smothered in it. Cover the
mattress with a piece of oil cloth
and over this \ soft padding n
