You have called it sensitiveness.
That particular brand of sensitive

is a fine and beautiful thing. We
know that 1t rebounds to our honor
If we recognize and respect this
quality, and to our shame IL we ig-
more or abuse 1t.
For our own self-respect as well
as consideration for others, we
want to recognize that quality. We
want to find the marble under the

THE A OF THINGS

Things, things, things Are they not ruling people9 Was
the tyranny of things ever more tyrannical than today? The
mania to own, to collect, to acquire things,-it is truly a
modern insanity.
Store after store is heaped with things. Statesmen have
little trouble in persuading foolish women to purchase articles
for which they really have no earthly use.
Homes are filled with things. Too much furniture, too
much bric-a-brac, too many pictures (most of which are bad.
Housekeepers are worn weary and their nerves testy with
the care of things. Still we go on collecting pitchers, books,
Spoons, antiques.
The average woman has too many clothes. Her closet
is filed with them, at least a quarter of which she seldom
wears. 1t takes time, money, energy to purchase them and
then they must be cared for. If she goes away she takes trunks
filled with clothes, which are only a burden to her.
When will we learn to cut down on things? To halve
our cares and double our comfort because we have learned to
simplify life by the elimination of too many things.
Thoreau had no furniture in his house at Walden Pond.
A stone which he f ancied he kept for a while and then discard
ed because it had to be busted.
There is a happy medium in all things. Enough for ones
comfort, but not too much SO that one is tyrannized by things,
is the solution.

BROADCASTS
Those Consistent Politicians
By LORA KELLY

They are beginning now. The poll
ticians are racking their brains for
ways and means of making a hit
with the women, for a presidential
campaign is not many moons away.
Listen to this g%randiose gesture
from n high in party counsels:
"Women will take her place in the
Presidents Cabinet in the not-far-
off future. And why not?
'The old parties nave been puri-
fed greatly through her presence
and influence. The Government
owes no greater tribute or recogni-
ton to women in the Federal SER
vice than to see hat all possible eff
forts are made to provide c~ongenial
working conditions, enhance their
earning capacity and to provide op
p%ortunity for advancement to higher
and more responsible positions"
Doesn't that sound nice? 1t is a
shame to spoil all that lovely ora
women in session last winter in New
York. There were about a thous-
and, and they had come from all
parts of the United States to study
political methods. One long and
earnest session was devoted to
'How to Secure Equal Representa-
ton on Central Committees"
Inc cnleI grievance OIL the women
was that men politicians had saddled
them with the uninteresting details
of a campaign and were loath to
recognize them as vital factors at all
One woman with a blazing Vocab-
ulary asserted that the men really
kept all the political plums for them
selves, cleverly doing out one here
and there conspicuously to a woman
largely for oratorical effect.
Another representative group of
women devoted whole afternoon to
discussing the glazing inequalities of
pay paid by the Government to men
and women for the same work, sug-
costing radical reforms in the civil
service.
But since 1t is almost time to kiss
the babies again in behalf of the
party, we may expect call the lads to
smile at us when going to the polls"

COUNTY PARENT TEACHERS
MEET AT SOUTH PLAINFIELD

Whereas, in addition = ndreds of
children under ten years of age are
laboring in cotton, sugar beet and
onion fields, street trades and tene-
ment sweatshops;
Whereas, the recent decision of
the Supreme Court against the fed
era child labor law reopens the
child labor problems in the mills,
factories and mines of twenty-eight
states which were below the stan
dard of this federal law;
Whereas, child labor is inhuman,
unjust, unnecessary, and a waste of
the nations future citizens; and
Whereas, the slowness of some
states to make proper child labor
laws necessitates that congress be
given power to. make a direct child
labor law to protect the children CT
the nation,
Therefore be it resolved that the
Middlesex County Council of the
New Jersey Congress of Mothers and
Parent-Teacher Associations petit
tions congress to pass such legisla-
ton as will amend the constitution
of the United States in order that
the congress shall have power con-
current with that of the states to
limit and to prohibit the labor OF
children under eighteen years of age.
The spring meeting of the county
council will be held in No. IL school,
Woodbridge, from 2 o'clock in the
afternoon and continuing for an
evening session in order that more
of the teachers may have the oppor-
tunity of attending supper instead Il
luncheon to be served probably by
one of the churches as there is not
adequate room at the school for this
purpose this year.

Answer

xAuSNCE
1t is a relief to be able to say that
you are both wrong. Candy between
meals is bad. The only time for a
child to have candy is with a meal,
or that is afterwards. Candy is a
highly nutritious food. Because of
the caloric content n or two large
pieces of candy will give a child the
equivalent in nourishment of at least
a slice of bread and butter. Also
the cloying sweetness does take the
natural edge off the appetite for
other and less tasty foods. A child
given a piece of candy at II will not
bring to his 100 meal the same
appetite as if he had gone without
food, or had been given some fruit,
which is an appetizer. To follow the
regular meal with one piece of candy
is all right. Sweets come naturally
at the end of a meal, and the added
nourishment will be taken care of.
1t might be said it was a little less
likely to spoil the appetite at a,
merely because the next meal is
farther away.

The one knows from bitter experience that the primrose
