that is one way of learning how the little brain Is working. A mother came into the room where two boys were playing and showed them her new silyery gray straw hat.
 "You look just like hearse," an nounced the younger boy delighted ly.
 The remark was rather startling, but the mother smiled and said, Do you like this hat?'
 "Oh. yes. it's so shiny and pretty" replied the boy, "and I like the silver look"
 Did you see anything today about that same color?" asked the mother. still searching for reason back of that first remark. "Yes, I saw carriage all silver and shiny like your hat" nodded the child. land brother said it was hearse.'
 The connection was explained. for, childlike, he had connected the first silver gray hat. His mind was grasping the fact of new color effect If the mother had been irri- tated at his impulsive remark, or had laughed it away, she would have hurt the child and driven his new thoughts and confidences back into | himself

HOME EDUCATION
Mothers Clothes.
By LYDIA LION ROBERTS.
FIRST SCHOOL IS THE FAMlLY'-Froebel.

Why. mother" cried the little boy. his eyes shining. you look just like schoolgirl in that white waist and blue tie. I like that, wear it again,'
 Children do notice mothers clothes and are quite fine little critics. It is interesting and profitable to ques- tion the reasons for their approval of various dresses and a wise mother will talk over her clothes with the children. If she explains the reason she chooses a certain color how she matched her hat to her gloves, why the cloth is stronger than something else, and all the little effects that combine thrift and good taste, the children will not only be pleased at the confidence in their understanding but will absorb much useful know ledge about clothes.
 Sometimes mother does not real. ize the pride and interest the chil' dren take in her clothes.
 'I like to go out with you since you made that new skirt" said a little girl. "the other one didn't look so nice"
 If mother gets careless or dis couraged and lets her clothes lose their charm, the children resent il even if they do not voice it. It is only fair to the children for mother to spend as much effort and thought on her own clothes as she does on their fascinating apparel, and then in later years they will not demand everything, but will want mother to have pretty things too.
 It pays to understand and weigh child's remarks about clothes as

Why Druggists Recommend
 Swamp-Roo

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the re- markable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney. liver and bladder medicine.
 It is a physician's prescription.
 Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature in- tended they should do.
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on it's merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, If you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer ( Co.,, Bing. hamton, N Y., for . sample bottle. when writing be sure and mention this pspsr. (toysrtisemsut. ?

VALUE OF WILD GAME IN ALASKA
 IS UNPARALLELED
People Generally Unfamiliar with Money Value
 Walker Gives Figures.

The dollars and cents value of wild game as the magnet that draws hunting parties, wild life experts and scientific expeditions to the Territory is not fully realized by Alaskans generally. according to F P. Walker, Chief Agent for the U s. Biological Survey in the Terri tory. Data has recently been com piled which shows in detail the ex penditures of a large number of these expenditures and what they covered.
 The Bureau submitted a question. naire to many individuals who have made the trip asking for definite figures on their cost and for other information. Forty-four sportsmen from the States who have hunted in Alaska reported expenditures total ing $107,5S6.50 on 52 trips, all of it in the Territory. Of this sum, $5,0O1 was fog licenses and export fees. The balance, $1O2,5S550 was paid out for guides, outfits, transportation curios. etc. Thus, the average ex- pendtture per trip was $1,972.87. These same hunters reported taking Sl2 animals making the average cost per animal $32.79.
 This by no means represents the total benefit acsruing to Alaska from the exploitation of it's wild game resources, said Mir. Walker. As an example he cited statements from seven of the A sportsmen answer Ing the queFtionnaire in which it var shoWa that thes6 seven had siucel EheiT expendituFes become fin4ncial-

 MT. Walker pointed out that the money derived from this source is at no cost to Alaskans and he added that by properly building up the sup ply of game it can become a still greater attraction. By letting 1t be known that Alaskans have the great. est wild life field remaining today he said. the Territory can profit much more in the future than it has done in the past.
 "The returns which the bureau has received are from only a small portion of the hunters who have been in Alaska during the past few years" he said. Scientific explora- tions and photographic expeditions which spend as much or more than hunting parties are not included in the returns.

Telegram From, Pocon,oke
Broadcasted Ouer Radio

The following very interesting let
ter was received this week from our
fellow-townsman, E. L. Lloyd now re-
siding in Georgetown, S. c.:
"Last night (Friday mighty my
radio yelled out, Telegram from Po-
comoke City, Maryland" You can
understand how got excited. There
were several people, in the room and
the loud speaker was working just
right for everybody to hear without
effort. This is the first time I've
heard of Pocomoke over the radio and
I've been listening in for two years.
1t was a telegram from w. H. School
field congratulating a Pittsburgh sta
tion on the clearness of ther concert.
The station was X. D. K. A.
A few minutes later another tele-
gram was announced from Rock Hall
and a lady jumped out of her chair
saying "That's my home town too"
1t seems odd indeed that we should
hear kilograms announced from our
home town and in each instance know
the parties. The radio doesn't always
work well here, but we sometimes get
it so clear that people passing in the
street hear it.

2 KILLED, One INJURED
WHEN TRAIN HITS AUTO
Side Curtains Are Blamed For Acct
dent Wednesday Near Onley,
Accomac County, Va.

One woman was killed, another
fatally injured and one man less in
jured when the automobile in which
they were riding was struck on
Thursday morning by a northboun6
express train at Public Road Crossing
just south of Onley, Accomac county.
The dead woman was Mrs. Mary
S. James, 10, and Mrs. James j.
Hartman, 40 fatally injured. Hel
husband, James ]. Hartman, the
driver, 50, was also injured. The tive
injured were taken on the train that
struck them to a hospital in Sails
bury. All three were from Melfa
Va, where Mr.. Hartman is a prosper
Gus farmer. ~
The accident occurred at 500 A. M
at an unobstructed crossing and in a
clear field, and it is supposed the
driver, who was running parallel with
the railroad tracks, with side cur
tains on, did not see the fast-ap-
preaching express, and did not OBJ
serve the State law of coming to a
dead stop before crossing a railroad
track. The car was completely de-
molished.

Milton Sills, Anna G. Nilsson, Frank
Campeau and Walter Long are the
principal members of the cast of
"The Isle of Lost Ships" which will
be shown at the Empire Theatre next

on Crittenden Marriott's famous
drama of the. sea. The remainder of
the cast likewise leaves nothing to- be
desired.
Milton Stills, as the escaped convict
facing death in the electric chair

young society girl when the vessel on
which he is being taken back to the
United States is rammed by dere-
lict, gives his customary strong char
acterization.
Miss Nilsson, as the heroine who
finds herself compelled to marry with
in twenty-four hours, has strenuous
role which she enacts with skille and
finesse.
Frank Campeau as the indomitable
detective, and Walter Long, as the
powerful and arrogant ruler of the
little community of castaways on a
strange island of ships in the center
Of the Sargasso Sea, are exception
ally well drawn roles.
Getting off to a fast start "Thc
Isle of Lost Ships is replete with
thrills and unusual situations. galore,
one of the episodes showing the little
band of castaways escaping from the
mysterious island in a submarine that
had been washed up.
