Your Home and You
LONG LIFE TO THE ROOM
By HELEN KENDALL

The crisp new broom with it's long, flexible strides over rug and floor, is so great success, tLat it has even inspired one of our best known adages-"A new broom sweep clean" The housewife experiences real plea- sure in her work when she has such an implement as this but her pleasure dwindles from day to day as the broom slowly wears down, grows hard and unyielding, and finally balks entirely.

MOTHERS HELPS

The careful mother will cleanse baby's teeth regularly and will rele- gate that task to the child itself as soon as it is able to handle the brush. Of course, this will be done under the mothers supervision until it has become an established habit and the task is properly done. If this is accomplished only under strong protest. try making a game of it, as one mother is successfully doing.
 The children each eagerly get their brushes, which are within their reach, and while mother. in real ora torical style, recites:
 "So many white horses on red hill, Now, we scrub,
 Now we rub,
 We clean them with a will" the little folks do clean with gen. uine will and even the 2-year- old tot insists upon joining the group and cleansing her teeth, Hike Bobby and sister do." These children are re- quired to put their brushes in proper places and leave the. bathroom in tidy condition.

PUTTING DRAMA IN ITS PLACE

From Everybody's Magazine.
 An idea of some of the difficulties under which people throughout the country labor in any attempt to reap profit from judgment and opin- ion in matters artistic will be gained from the following experience of the late Creston Clarke, the actor.
 While playing in a good-szed city, he was approached one day on the street by an eager young man. who said:
 How do you do. MT. Clarke? I saw your performance last night. I'm on the Star
 "Oh!' said Mir. Clarke. And how do you like newspaper work?"
 'I think it's fine" replied the youth. I'm just starting in at it. I'm only dramatic critic now, and if l 60 well they're going to give me police work"

AIRMAN AID FIREMEN

Fredericksburg, March b
Modern methods Of fire fighting
were employed recently in Stat
ford county, when a serious con-
flagration was averted by prompt
and effective action. A farmer,
near Rectory, was engaged in
burning brush and the fire got
beyond his control.
Neighbors saw the peril of a
disastrous forest fire and notified
Cash Williams. the fire warden
for that district. of the danger
Gus situation. Mr.. Williams tel
ephoned to Brown Flying Field,
at Reid Station, few miles dis
tant. and in a short time a large
force of marines set out from
camp to assist in fighting the
fire. At the same time an officer
took the air in a new plane and,
after locating the fire flew at low
altitude and directed the marines
to the blaze. which was quickly
subdued on their arrival.

Eastern Shore Potato
Crop is Being Planted

Cape Charles, March 15.-One
only needs to ride the public high
ways of the Eastern Shore to be
convinced that potato planting is
very much in evidence as well as
the password of almost everyone
meets. With good weather pre-
vailing and prospects for its con-
tinuance through this week
growers in Northampton county
will have their crop in the ground
A number of the farmers in Lo-
wer Northampton finished plant
ing last week.
Acccmac county is not as for
ward as northampton. The plant
ing of potatoes there Was delay
ed somewhat this year by eX--
IRENE cold weather of a week or
so ago. which was followed by
heavy rains, preventing the
ground from being worked into
order for planting. However,
farmers are hopeful that they
will be able to find some Of the
lost time during the coming
week. and that the first of East
ern Shores crop will reach the
markets about June 10, or close
to the average time.
Prospects are that this seasons
potato crop will be above the av-
erage yield. or about 100000
barrels from the Eastern Shore.
Shipments last year were over
100000 barrels.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia
has set the pace in potato and
sweet potato culture. and indica-
tons are that Northampton and
Accomac will continue to lead all
counties of the country in produc
tivity of these crops.
