Officials of the bureau of fisheries

The bureau goes farther and says that
In view of the abundance OF the mus

that sea-mussels are found along the

OF the northern hemisphere, and that
there are beds on the New England
coast so extensive that the mussels
could be collected daily by the ton.
1t adds that many persons consider
the flavor Of the mussel superior to
that of the oyster: that, moreover,
mussels are In season when the oys-

are most difficult TO market, for they

Mrs. Frank Dorsey. president Il
the Women's Club. in a short, ~
interesting talk told the local Camp
Fire Girls who assembled at the
tree planting ceremonies held n
the rear of School No. 4 yesterday
afternoon, that their lives would be-
come beautiful if they would grow

The Woman's Club president, IN

with that of a tree, told h girls
that they must start on a straight
path in the beginning of their lives
She related Il those present the
story of the farmer who planted a
tree on his farm and when it grew
up and started to lean to one size
he had to tie it to some strong oo-
stacle in order to straighten it.
Mrs. Dorsey told the girls that
she hoped their lives would net
start in a way that they would
have to be Strengthened later on, bit
that they would grow up well
rounded and be of benefit to others
as the tree that sends forth its fruit
and shade.

OIL DOMESTIC MACHINERY


I There arc all kinds of ways Of oiling the domestic machin-
cry.
Figuratively speaking a kind word, a gracious smile or
the exercise of a bit of diplomacy and tact can do wonders to
ease the friction and grease the wheels. Every woman knows
their value on hubby and the kiddies. Usually they work like
a charm, don't they?
But let us talk over oiling the domestic machinery III a
literal sense. Yes, such a little thing and such a cheap thing
as a drop of oil can do much in adjusting and aceelerating the
domestic machinery.
Do your door hinges squeak and are your closet and pam
try latches hard to turn following a spell of damp weather.

You have declared to Bill that your new vacuum cleaner
is a failure. 1t is so hard to work; moves like a crippled
rheumatic. Wait! Before you blame Bill for persuading you
to buy that kind try a few drops of oil in the gearing of the
wheels upon which it rolls across the floor. See it it doesn't
work like magic and if you don't have to admit that Bill
showed his usual good judgment in urging you to select that
particular kind of a cleaner.
Perhaps it isn't your vacuum cleaner but your clothes
wringer that is so hard to work. How long since you have
oiled it?
We women so often peg along wearing our nerves testy
and our bodies wear because we don't keep our household
equipment in good condition. Remember the oil can, Thnk
Of and prove for yourself the value of a few drops OF oil IN
easing and accelerating the domestic machinery.
Your husband wouldn't neglect his business machinery
that way. Be business like in your home affairs.

BROADCASTS
By LORA KELLY

Here's a brand new idea, set forth
as today's sunshine thought, by a
university professor IN a lecture to
college women.
He proposes a childhood fund. des-
tined to be used when the youth or
girl becomes old enough to marry.
The fund is to be based on gifts
from friends of the child, backed by
building and loan association shares.
endowment insurance policies and
even an occasional chair, a table or a
picture.
In this way the professor believes
tour young people can be self-start-
ers in matrimony at a reasonably
early age"
Theoretically, it sounds well.
But n has only TO glance back
ward through ones own more or less
immediate past to realize that the
idea presents difficulties.
Suppose the bride has to set up
the new home with the accumula-
tons of her childhood gifts, bestow-
ed upon her with q eye to hei
future matrimonial state.
There would be the pair of China
Shepherdesses Aunt Lou gave her TO
her mantel. Maybe a donation OF
! haircloth sofa from Uncle Abner,
| steel engraving of George Washing
ton Crossing the Delaware and prob
ably a bust of Napoleon.
If she is a trifie past the f1apper
stage-some brides are-she will
have accumulated the handiwork OF
all the amateur artists in the family.
These doubtless would include a sofa
cushion entitled "A Breath from the
Forest" worked in green and purple
floss: hammered brass lampshadesi
and even the burnt-wood Indian
heads which make sIch nice pipe
racks"
Inficting ones own taste upon a
helpless bride is a cruel thing. Con-
vention demands a certain amount OF
It in the shape Of wedding presents
But to string the stuff out for q
couple of decades is rather terrify-
ing.
And suppose the recipient decided
to be a bachelor girl all her life,
Would she be expected to hand back
the gifts?

WASHINGTON.-Poor girl or
rich girl-the needs of each will be
discussed at the ninth annual con-
Yention Of the National Council of
Girl Scouts to be held here during
the week of April 23.
Girls who come from homes that
are troubled by financial difficulties
probably willsget. the most consid-
Grafton, but those who happily are
born into families possessed with
plenty have difficulties" too, which
the scouts endeavor to correct.
The convention, which will be held
at the Wardman Park Hotel, will be
preceded by a week of intensive
training in scout leadership at the
Manor Club just outside of Norbeck,
Maryland.
Representatives. from almost every
large city in the United States will
be present. There are $50 councils
In the organization, but in many
smaller cities there are no organized
councils, and many of this latter
class of cities will be represented
too.
In all, $4,000 girls will be ac-
counted for through delegates to
the convention.
To Study Girl Life
While the convention itself will
be given over principally to a discus
sion of the training and development
of the leaders directing the move
ments of their younger sisters, still
attention will be paid to about every
phase of the life of the adolescent
girl.

AN ILL 4 p E

Mrs. J. D. D. writes.
Il have read your advice to
mothers and / am sire you can help
me. My baby is six months old.
When he was born he had d real
pretty round head. / was compelled
to stay in bed for six weeks and
during that time the baby slept just
any way, so that he slept. Nov his
head is very long in the back. I
have tried making him sleep on his
back but he viii always turn over.
He is a large baby and perfect phys
ically. but of course this mars his
looks. Please tell me something TO
do for this. / have heard that a
baby's head shaped naturally, is this
SO 2"
Answer
This is a case in which we shall
have to be content with nature. 1t
would be wrong TO try and force a
baby's head into a particular mold,
merely because it offended our idea
of beauty. There is no doubt that
when he is older the head will lose
this elongated shape. Many babies
are born that way due to hard de-
~Iiveries. They outgrow 1t. How he
slept the first six weeks has nothing
to do with 1t.
Feeding the 2 TO 3-Year Child
Mrs. w. A. Y. writes:
My little girl is % months old and
seems to be in good health, but L am
puzzled about her diet. Will you
please tell me what and when to feed
her? She is good and likes almost
everything, she is not hard to cook
for.

There are about 200 girl scout
camps in the country, and some OF
the papers to be read will deal with
possible improvement of these sum-
mer vacation places.
Another thing which is getting
the serious thought of the scout *
ecutive is how leaders of the fu-

oughly understood that the move

unless real leaders are developed
from the ranks of the scouts them
