DOMESTIC DAYS
By ROY l.. M'CARDELL

The sight of Master Willie Jarr getting paste and paper scraps all over the floor while constructing a kite moved MT. Jarr to improvise in his best parental manner. Well son, he said, T suppose you are happy that there's no school tlii September?'
 "Surew replied the boy. Say, paw, gimme ten cents to go to the movies"
 Do you think you deserve to go to the moving pictures when you an swer your father that way?' asked MT. Jarr.
 The boy wriggled uneasily and an swered: ' Johnny Bangles going to get money and go to the movies, and he ain't polite!
 well. he should be-" said MT. Jarr. and I doubt if he's going to get money, and, even if he does, it is not as a reward for being impolite, l hope"
 For goodness sake, leave the child alonew cried Mrs. Jarr Hes just as polite as any of the boys his age, and great deal more than some of them The other day Mrs. Stry- yer asked him what he would say 1T she were to give him ice cream and he took off his cap and made the sweetest little bow and said, I'd say thank your"
 m say thank you" paw if you'll give me ten cents to go to the movies" cried Master Jarr eagerly.
 And wouldn't you be polite if you weren't rewarded for it?" asked his father. Why, Willie"
 "Wilie's manners are very good" remarked Mrs. Jarr, Considering the example that is set him in certain quarters. And as l was telling you. he answered Mrs. Stryver very po- litely when she gave him ice cream, so she gave him candy, too, to take home"

By HELEN KENDALL Respecting Signs

A bevy of young mixers came down the country road, singing and laugh ing. They were bonny enough with their bobbed heads, their comfortable sport knickers and hose, middies and tramping shoes, and their camp kits slung over their shoulders. It was nearing lunch time and they had their eyes open for likely spot In which to eat.
 Here's a heavenly spot, Bobs. maiden in the lead.
 'It says Private Grounds" de- murred Bobs.
 "Oh, well, what if it dCes? No bodyH see us, and it isn't anything but woods. anyway. We won't harm tion to these selfish private signs along the road"
 And here spoke the spirit of the summer hiker and motorist gener- ally. The world is theirs. Who cares? Let's take a chance. This is the prettiest spot we've seen. zz'-
 And so, not ste pping to think that the owners bought this spot because 1t was so beautiful, not knowing, of the fond plans laid, the wild flowers planted, these careless folk enter upon property no less personal than a city apartment and proceed to de- face it. They scatter papers, build fires. throw eggshells and paper boxes about, and act as if no one would ever pass thls way again to see the havoc they had wrought.
 Not long ago. small procession or mixers suddenly appeared on the woodland path leading past a friends garden, where a party was quietly conversing. The entrance to the path had not only been marked private" but had stile to close It. The mixers ignored the signs and the stile and came singing and shouting down the path, disturbing the pri- vacy and the calm of the peaceful Sunday group in the garden. Their apology was too late to prevent the unpleasant impression they had made.
 Let us respect peoples signs in the country as much as we would the knobs on their front doors. Ihey have their rights tC privacy ana there are plenty of unmarked places where picnickers may roam freely.

there was a flutter of wings and Waffle and Winnie Woodpecker came sWoping down from an old dead tree where they had been watching. Waffle Woodpecker lit upon Percy Pigs hat and Winnie Woodpecker lit upon Missus Witch's bonnet.
 "Rattirat," the two Woodpeckers thumped upon Percy Pigs head and Missues Witch's head. Now They are after me againi" Percy Pig howled as he dropped the Raggedys and ran away.
 ouch! My new Sunday go meeting bonnet!' Missues Witch shricked as she picked up her skirts and ran away.
 Thank you. Winnie and Waffle Woodpecker!" the Raggedys said Now we will give you as many Ice cold sodas as you wish" So the kind Woodpeckers each had three sodas as they sat and visited with the Rag gedys and Ned Gnome.

The noise of vacuum cleaner is objectionable to an invalid and dust raised by a broom is equally annoy ing. A capable nurse has solved this problem. She uses a mop. She puts a little ammonia into a pail of warm water. She wrings her mop as dry as possible in this and mops the en- tire rug or carpet This takes up the dust and most of the lint. A noise- less carpet sweeper or a broom will remove all particles that do not ad- here to the mop. She uses an oiled dlsting cloth for the furniture, thus she thoroughly cleans the sick room without dust and noise.

 But just as the little old Witch had caught the Rag gedys, who should come bouncing and squealing out of the bushes but little Percy Pig, so excited he did not see where he was running.
 He ran right in under the little old Witch, and this so surprised, her, she dropped the Rag gedys and her fly ing broom and held on to Percy Pig s shirt collar as tight ly as she could.
 If the little old Witch had not held on tightly, sh e would have been bounced off and the ground was covered with hard, hard stones.

COMMEMORATE
CENTENARY OF SONG

One hundred years ago on May
9, Home Sweet Home" was sung
IN public for the first time The
melody came in the second act of
an opera called "Claris, or the
Maid of Milan" produced at Covent
Garden, London. The Iibretto was
written by a wandering American
actor, John Howard Payne. and the
music was composed by Sir Henry
Bishop.
: The opera died and was soon for
gotten, but the centenary of the
lmperishable song it bequeated to
the English speaking world is to be
observed in London. AS yet the
nature of the commemorative cere-
monies has not been decided upon,
but leading musicians have ex.
pressed hope that the anniver.
eary will be observed by singing
the song at concerts throughout
the world.

The visit to this city Of the ia

Czechoslovakia, is expected to be
one of the musical events OF the
year. The beautiful and pictur-
esque folk songs of the Czechs,

Europe, will be given by a chorus
of forty selected voices, under the
direction of DIR. Frantisek Bakule,
the Czech educator whose famous
school in Prague, although only in
existence since 1919, has already
won international fame.
Prof. Bakule, who was described
by an American observer in Prague
as being IAN artist by temperament
with the soul of st. Francis"
has gathered about him the finest
junior chorus in Europe. The chill
dren, who have been instructed by
opera stars of Prague and Vienna,
give their concerts attired in the
splendid Czech national costumes.
Despite physical handicaps that
would be generally regarded as
hopeless, the Bakule pupils show
the results of expert manual train.

would be the envy even of normal
children.
The concert program of the
Bakule chorus is thus varied by
other features, including the re-
markable marionette show of little

pupils. Although born armless.
Frantik is a unique pantomimist
and works his whole show with
his feet.
The Bakule concert tour is un.

Chamber of Commerce Is

MIR. Tremaine's comment followed
the reading of the following letter
from L. Il. Hathaway, secretary of

the many ways in which the organi-
zation fosters good music in the
local community:
I'VE arranged community sings
where the Christmas carols were
learned by the children and the
groWn-ups, having as many as five
hundred in attendance. These were
sung in the schools and churches
and at the community Christmas
tree. The weather here tive are high
up in the mountains) at Christmas
time is not the best for outdoor
celebrations p" the big theater is
used for all community work.
''At last years celebration we had
two beautiful electric lighted trees
and during the singing of the Christ
mas carols, the songs were illus
trated by living pictures, posed in
costume by the Boy Scouts and Gin
Scouts and made wonderful i'm
preston. There were over LOO
children in the theater. And the
program was repeated at night for
the groWn-ups.
Teach Easter Carols
Easter carols were taught the
chOirs here and the full vested
choir sang at the picture shows
in the evening.
I'VE then went ahead and secured
a splendid musician, a graduate of
the Vienna Conservatory, securing
him some fifty pupils for piano
work. He now-leads several or
