DON'T "GUESS"

81 don't want you to guess. / can guess myself. I want
you to know, p Judge Gary once reprimanded a private secre-
tary, who in reply to a certain question gave a n~on-committal
answer.
j. Ogden Armour tells his lieutenants, II don't want you
to come to me FOR decisions. l want you to come to me
WITH decisions.
If you have your eye on bigger business or a bigger job
or are bent on making your work more effective or valuable
don't
Next time your boss asks you what the sales amounted
to the past week, don't answer, 81 don't know EXACTLY,
but I can tell you ABOUT the figures If you do you will

The successful employee is the one who brings back the
answer. Business women, try it next time and prove 1t for
yourself.
INDIGESTION, inaccuracy, mediocre workmanship, belong
to the person who "guesses, . just as executive ability, thor
oughness and valuable workmanship belong to the person who
KNOWS.
The leader, the executive, the captain is never the guess

Another mother whose faith in her
sons future greatness began on the
day of his birth and did no waver
until he proved her right, was Amy
Kelly Burroughs, mother of the FAM
Gus naturalist, John Burroughs. This
great man. one of ten children, was
always a tiny bit the favorite of his
mother, a Woodworking simple-liv-
ing farmers wife. Somehow, there
was a complete and natural UNDER
standing between these two, and her
happiest moments were those when
she was out in the berry patches with
her son, gathering the ripe fruit, and
making great plans for the future.
Amy Kelly was a plain, unlettered
woman who, although she never read
one of her sons books, had an ink
ling even while he vas a boy that
he was to be one of the worlds great
men some day. SO strongly did she
feel this, that she used to plead with
her husband when he wanted to pun

PRIDE LIGHTS LIFE OF THE

Mrs. Lamira d
(By NEA Service)

BURLINGTON. vt, Aug IA
moment of pride to break her W
sorrow has come to Mrs. Lamira
Goodhue, who lives in a little house
at 512 Maple street.
She is the mother-in-law Of the
President OF the United States. Her
pride In her daughter-the one-time
Grace Anna Goodhue, now Mrs. Cal
vim Coolidge-has come to soften her
three months Of mourning since the
death Of Mrs. Coolidge's father.
How does the mother OF the First
Lady Of the Land take this sudden
change in her daughters fortunes?
Characteristically her first thought
was of sympathy for Mrs. Harding,
for she herself had so lately lost her
own husband. Not overstrong. Mrs.
Goodhue was much upset at the
news of Mr.. Harding's death.
Then she paid tribute to her
daughters thoughtfulness and capa-
bility.
II feel" she said, chat Grace will
be even of more help to her husband
at this time than on any occasion
which has come UP before"
That was all, for Mrs. Goodhue
shrank from the ordeal OF publicity.
1t took several days of persuasion
before she would consent 10 have a
new photograph made of herself.
The last available, taken many
years ago, showed the close resem-
blance Mrs. Coolidge bears her
mother.
The new picture was taken beside
the steps of the Maple street home.
where the Goodhues have lived since
shortly after the future mistress of
the White House was born. January
3, 1873. in the old home in George
street.
1t was in this Maple street house
that the marriage of Calvin Coolidge
and Grace Goodhue took place Octo-
Der 4. 1905. The gray-haired mother
of Mrs. Coolidge still lives there,
with a companion. Miss Emma Drew.

A novelist complains that women,
instead of taking love lightly, sayly,
Joyously as a man does, take it too
seriously. Therefore, they let love
make them miserable.
That's all right as far as 1t goes.
But the brand of love that most
men make isn't conducive to the
merry and gay outlook.
The man is the capital I around
which everything else revolves, re-
gardless of the annoyance or incon-
venience his wishes may cause.
No matter how wearlsome her day
has been, the wife must present a
smiling face to her lord, If 1t so hap
pens that he wants merry compan-
ionship.
Her day may have been a series
Of small domestic tragedies from the
moment the paper boy knocked the
breakfast cream bottle over and
spilled it, to the non-delivery Of the
chops for dinner.
No matter. The master of the
house would celebrate, and whether
she feels like it or not she must re-
spond in the same spirit.
Take love "gayly and lightly p
Maybe If men took 1t a little more
seriously. assuming some of its re-
sponsibility, women would be able to
feel a little more light-hearted on
the subject.

Sister Mary Gives
Another Lesson
In Cooking Today

Vegetable sandwiches can be used
to take the place Of a salad with cold
meat when p~icnicking.
When salad dressing is used in
sandwiches 1t should be a thick
dressing that will separate and be-
come "runny" when touched with
vegetable juice. An oil mayonnaise
will not stand up in sandwiches for
any length of time, so a cooked GUS
tard dressing Is best for picnic sand
witches. Oil dressing Is delicious in
sandwiches to be used at home.
Salad Dressing
Two tablespoons butter, 2 table,
spoons -four, l tablespoon salt, IL
tablespoon mustard, Is teaspoon
pepper, 1 tablespoon sugar, "a cup
vinegar. IA cup water, 2 eggs.
Melt butter. stir in -four. Add
vinegar and water and when hot and
smooth add salt, mustard, pepper
and sugar. Cook until thick and
smooth. Remove from fire and pour
over eggs well beaten. This forms
a custard-like dressing that keeps
well.
Lettuce seems to require a dress
ing, but many vegetables are really
better without 1t than with It. When
ever dressing Is used it is well to use
lettuce with any other vegetable
This keeps the dressing from the
bread.
Onion Sandwiches
These are better without a salad
dressing. Peel and slice onions. Let
stand in cold salt water to cover for
an hour. One teaspoon salt to a
medium sized onion is a good rule.
Drain and chop very fine. Put be-
tween thin slices of bread and butter
Cucumber Sandwiches
Pare cucumber and slice into cold
salt water. Let stand an hour
Drain. Pour over vinegar to cover
and let stand five minutes. Drain
and put between thin slices of bread
and butter. Cucumbers are very

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN
By MARY ADRIAN

Though unlettered herself, she felt instinctively that some day her
favorite child would be a great man

ish the boy for being what he cor
sidered "queer"-different from the
others. But every manifestation of
'queerness" was to the mother simp-
ly one more evidence of future
greatness, and many were the chores
she spared him and the punishments
she averted. She always treated him
with marked tenderness and took his
part in every argument or quarrel.
Although her life as a farmers
wife did not allow her much time
for self-expression, there r evil
dences that she was possessed of a
serious and brooding turn of mind,
which with the proper training and
development. might have produced
some big things.
Instead, she lived in the accom-
