THE APPRECIATION LEAGUE

Have you ever heard of the Appreciation Leagues I
hadn't until just the other day. Let me tell you about it:
Perhaps it will please you as much as it did me.
William Vernon Backus, a Cleveland philosopher and
lecturer is founder of this league. His creed is, IF your friend
is a help, a joy, an inspiration to you, tell him so. There are so
many discouraged hearts everywhere just hungry for appre-
citation"
it. But how many of us make our creed a deed? That is what
William Y. Backus did when he founded a few years ago the
Appreciation League. The members of this league travel to
many places and report courtesy and kindness to employers.
Every member of the league is provided with a blank which
permits the filling in the name and business address of a clerk,
conductor, postman, usher, collector or anyone at all who is
Psneciauy attentive and deserving of commentator. These
ards are then mailed to the employer of the particular person.
We report discourtesy and inefficient service. Why not
,eport the good work, Mr.. Backus argues. Is not his thought
\ splendid one? The success of the league is already estab-
lished for it has 100000 members with branches everywhere,
including Australia.
WHY cannot we women form an Appreciation League. Not
world wide in it's scope perhaps, but at least large enough to
take in the members of our BUSINESS concern, and our personal
circle.
What a stimulant, what an encouragement, what a boon 1t
would be to us all, for whether we admit it or not we are all
thirsty for appreciation.
Have you ever spoken a word of appreciation to your
friend " employee and failed to see their face hight up with
oladnessY Do you remember how fine you felt when that good
work YOU did was appreciated and praisedf
Start TODAY in your office or home to be appreciatlye.

weighing The Baby

In some recent letters a come-
anaent asked "how" the bapy
sponid be weighed, what kind Oh
Gales This is really most important
Was in accurate weighing on tremp-
ling scales is of mighty little value
when one considers that the gam Is
USUALLY but a few ounces a week.
The cheap scales on which the
hahv is hung" precariously ana
which sways and f~luctuates WIN
every movement of the child is d
nuisance and don't tell the mother
ANYTHING. The scales should be OF
the platform type on when the
baby's tub or basket may be weighed
and then the baby added to IL, the
increased weight being the young
hopeful. AS good ones of this type
are expensive, one can make use OF
the grocer's scales once a week by
taking the precaution to dress the
baby exactly the same at each VISIT
and be sure there are no wet diapers
to add their weight.
This same mother asked how
many unces we use to the pound in
weighing a baby. Sixteen, dear
lady.
When the baby is weighed at home
he should be dressed in as few
clothes as possible. Put him in his
basket with a diaper just before his
bath at the same time and the same
day each week. If care is taken to
deduct the weights of all the clothes
and the basket from the total
amount. the gain of the baby from
the preceding week is fairly correct.

Here's a beauty recipe. handed

a grated turnip and a handful OF
cranberries daily"
This short cut to feminine pulch-

wish he hadn't slipped in that joker,
ITO remain beautiful"
Almost anybody who is already
blessed with a face and figure like a
movie queen a manage to remain
in a state Of perfect thirty-sixedness.
What most of us var to know is
how to become beautiful in the first
place.
Transferring the cosmetic rites to
the grocery store, however, is an idea
not without merit. For some time
we have been hearing that the pre-
cious potato is an ally of fat, and
that cheese in its various manifesto
tions is a foe to beauty.
The recipe, which sounds like d.
rections for making vegetable soup,
may be worth a tryout. The hum
BILE onion, which in most cases
should be seen and not heard, arises
to a place of Importance in this team
of cause and effect.
For centuries women have placed
their faith in plastered-on methods
of beauty culture. Results are
quicker, for one thing. A portable
complexion is much more easily OBJ

mirror and then all the ridiculous
woman in the audience will laugh.
But because she has dared to laugh.
some of the old superstition has lost
its grip on her.
Another human failing-a senti-
mental one-is to fall in love with
someone who is hopelessly beyond
reach. Sometimes it is Farmer Com
tassel in love with a chorus girl
sometimes it is the simple country
girl In love with a stock actor. In
such things the c~artoonist can do
one of two things-make a dupe of
the farmer or make the actor hope
lesslv commonplace.
But in either case the audience
laughs and little Mary Smith olt
in front reconsiders her decision 10
elope with the tenor in the church
choir.
Lesson on Clothes
CLOTHES are another human fail
ing, but tie a ribbon on a dinosaurs
tail and most women in the audience
will think of clothes a little less
seriously"
The c~artoonist even dares to run
contrary to public opinion some
times. according to Miss He.mlich.
AT the time when the Shelk was
at the height of his popularity she
says. sit was taken for granted th&t
sickness was what every woman
preferred. But a cartoon called No
Every Woman Wants a Sheik' was
one OF the most successful we ever
put out"

NEW YORK-The feminine
touch! It's needed in even so ultra
masculine a profession as making
animated cartoons for the movies.
And that's the reason why Miss
Irma Heinrich has probably the
only job of its kind in the United
States. Twenty men turn out the
moving arms and legs, the wiggling
ears and the vivacious chin whis =
ke4I which go to make up the ami
mated fables of the And
when these 20 have reached their
limit-Miss Heimlich steps in and
adds the finishing touches.
Does Fanny Cat need a bow ad-
justed? Miss Heinrich sets it at
the proper angle. Is some mere
male cartoonist in despair as to how
he can get the necessary punch n
a ballroom scene? Miss Heimlich
finishes off one of the evening
gowns with a train of cars and the
trick is done.
She watches feminine fashions
and foibles as closely as any lady
novelist. And for much the same
reason.
Why We laugh
"People want to learn" she ex-
plains, but they don't want to know
they're learning. Hence the best
thing to do is to make fun of human
failings.
Superstition is the human falling
