THE GUIDE POST
BY Henry and Tertius Van Dyke.
Foolish Discomfort.

Murmur not among yourselves
John Was.
Smouldering discomfort is one oi
the most destructive fires that burn
in the human breast.
1t eats deep into the vitals OF life
and consumes more energy than any
Of the quick blazing fires or passion
Its origin is usually rebellion
against life.
Now it is never going to be pos
sible for men TO reconcile or explain
away all Of the apparent contradic-
tions Of life.
Every great thing that men have
dodne has been the fruit of faith.
While the chronic kickers are
grumbling and complaining among
themselves the doors are making the
venture of faith and getting results
Especially is this true in our at
titude to Jesus Christ.
We will never get anywhere worth
going to as long as we debate back
and forth on the basis of various
texts or opinions about Him.
We must settle down to peaceful
convictions in our own hearts and
lay aside our chickering's.
Where do these endeavors to in
close the infinite in the finite lead
US?
Only to the misguided zeal of
Senseless partisanships.
1t is better to bow humbIy before
the mystery of God incar rnate than
to argue discontentedly about how
and why and when.
Omniscience is not one Of the char
acteristics of men.
But conceit is.
only when we stop our opinion
ated quarreling over issues totally
beyond our comprehension are we
really able to perceive the glories
that God is revealing

Skirt May Be Worn Like Knickers
BY MARY MARSHALL.

IF in the years gone by milk maids
had gone a milking. shepherdesses
had gone after their sheep, and maids
had gone a-mayins as maids do these
things today. there would have been
few poets to sing their praises or
artists to record their charms on

form of that organization instead ol
the bouffant skirt. the tightly drawn
girdlc. the closely draped bodice ana
the lowered straw hat?
The other day Il group of 30 girls ana
bows members of the same small-town
high school graduating class. went on
q picnic The picnic ground was the
sandy beach along a little-frequcnted
New England shore. and the plcnlcScrs
reached their destination via TWO motor
trucks provided with straw and CUSHIONS.
There were pretty girls among them,
OF course, but they all wore knicker-
bockcrs and with one or two exceptions
the girls were bobbed. Doubtless the
youth of today enjoys going picnicklnS
with sensible girls In tweed or knak
knickerS, but the costume IL certain!
far less conducive to whispered hlrta-
tons and love making than the llght
summer frockS that girls of a genera
tion or so ago wore on picnicS
Of course the knickerbockcr costume
is not regarded as the least bit shocking
any more. Even in remote regions III
this country il is SO usual as to De al
most commonplace. Like the bob. II
seems to have rushed in where other
fashions have feared to tread. Perhaps
just because of the widespread wearing
of the knicker sport costume the smarter
clement among women rather avoid ap-
nearing in knickers save when they nave
some really good excuse for it. NO one
plays golf in knickers. 1t is quite pos
sibie to wear skirts and still have free
dom enough for the game. There are
seemingly straight and scant golf skirts
with wide inverted p'eats at the side or
front that give ample room
The sketch shows a new version OF
the knickerbocker sport costume when
is made in cloth or linen. There Is
one-piece frock worn over white sport
skirt. BY unbuttoning the slit back ana
front the skirt can be fastened arouho
the legs to make l>nickers. A mannish
coat completes the costume.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. d.

three times a week, baby should re-
ceive some fresh meat broth, and
later meat gravy thickened with flour
Meat broth is of some value as lax
ative item, aside from it's food value.
For children over year old a
small glass of orange juice taken
first thing in the morning on waking
is often the only laxative required.
This serves as well for children as
the famous morning hot or cold pint
of water with a pinch of salt in il (if
desired) does for many elderly SUBJ
jects of constipation.
The body of newborn infant is
70 per cent water: about IS per cent
of an adults weight is water. The
very young baby requires one-fifth of
his own weight of water daily. A
comparatively large amount of water
is essential for the baby's health in
general. particularly for the kidney
function and the digestion. Water is
laxative. In hot weather particular
ly the baby needs water in addition to
that taken with food.

FERGUSON WINNER
 OVER BILL WOODS
Northford Sqapper Gets Decision
 in Pittsield

Pittsheld, May 6.-Tracey Ferguson
 of Northford, defeated Billy Woods
 of Boston here last night in a fast O. round bout at Fred Formel's indoor arena. Ferguson weighed 14s 2-s while Woods tipped the beam at 150.
 Ferguson outclassed Woods, but good right hand. The Bostonian lost his effectiveness at times in being wild and at those particular moments the Northford farmer r-constable-boxer was especially dangerous. Woods, in 1 his wild and woody moments, however, l landed solid right to Ferguson's left ear and left a damaging mark, practically the only one of the en- gagement. This blow came in the ninth round when Woods was on the defensive and seeking to protect him self from the savage onslaught of the Nutmeg state boy.
 Ferguson, who has good sized fol- lowing here through his numerous performances, looked even better than the last time when he knocked out Wop Manoleum. He boxed in better form and was liberal in punishing his opponent. Woods was willing but un- able, to cope with his master.
 There were no knockdowns. Woods was rugged enough to take the pun ishment which came his way in from the first 10 the last round while Fer guson was never in danger
 Red Allen, of Bridgeport. scored a knockout in the first round over Young Andrews of Boston.
