STRAIGHT TALKS

Advice.

TT seems to me that your mother Is

Helen finished telling her of the won.
derful plan Clarence Lang had for
starting in business himself. HE is a
likeable chap" Aunt Emmy continued,
and very pleasant at parties and
such, but II he really we're a good
business man he wouldn't need his
relatives or friends to set him up in
business"

Helen. ut doesn't take so much

Emmy. "If he were as competent As

OF the profit for doing 1t. Before your
mother goes ahead she should consult
her bank about making such a move"
II don't see why. Aunty. The money

Yes. but she did not earn It. She
inherited 1t and l doubt il she has any
real sense of its value. Her bankers
know her financial situation and they
can advise her"
We'll, I'll tell mother. but | don't

The next day Helen's mother came
to see Aunt Emmy.
II took your advice. Emmy" she
said. land called on Mr.. Allen at the
bank and told him about what | want,
ed to do for Clarence. Mr.. Allen made
a lot OF things clear to me. First OF
all he showed me that ! am not rich
enough to take unnecessary chances
He said practically what you told
Helen-that an able man can get bust
ness backing in a strictly business way
and he pointed IL hat ny first duty
was to my own home. and that l must
consider those girls of mine before
nyone else. OF course. that Clarence
might not succeed never entered my
head. But Mr.. Allen pointed out that
possibility. There are SO many angles
to a new business that I really didn't
know about. Mr.. Allen was SO nice
about II. He asked me to come in
again whenever I was puzzled about
money affairs"
"Well don't forget that mex time

My dear Mr.. Woodruff:
In spite of the fact that / have

glad to have a line from you, and was
quite interested in your statement in
connection with the question of the
Cloverdale hams and bacon.
As you have suggested, as far as

to obtain relief from the operation
of the law. The only authority which
the Federal Government could en-
ploy would be prohibition against in

evidently done.

Bird Life in Ecuador
Is Rich and Varied

Ecuador Is richer in bird life thar
any other country of equal extent In
the world. approximately 1000 species
Of birds having been recorded from II.
1r about one-third the bird life OF
South America and one-tenth the bird
life Of the whole world. according to
DR.. Frank NJ. Chapman, curator OF
birds In the American Museum Of Nat.
ural History, who recently lectured on
Ecuador at the New York botanical.
Garden.
Doctor Chapman. for the last ten
years, has been conducting, on behalf
Of the American museum, field re-
searches throughout the Andes Of
South America to determine the origin
Of bird life. In his lecture he dealt
with his recent explorations In Ecua-
dor, which country. in company with
George X. Cherrie, he visited in the
summer OF 1922.
The wealth OF the avifauna in Ecua-
dor is due not only to the diversity Of
the country nj sea level but more par
ticularly to the development of life
in the Andes from sea level to
snow line. In addition to the tropical
or basal zone, there exist ~subtroplcal,
temperate and paramo zones, each ore
OF which has species peculiar to itself.
A journey. therefore, from sea level 10
snow line in Il measure epitomlzes one
from the equator TO the pole.
Among the interesting discoveries by
Doctor Chapman and his associates
was the presence on the coast Of Euca
dor In mid-July of large numbers Of
North American shore blrds-curlews,
p%loYers, etc, the breeding grounds OF
which are north Of the Arctic circle. 1t
was found that these were non-breed-
Ing birds and the fact that they con,
tinued to remain in Eucador long after
their associates had migrated to the
north Is evidence in support Of the
theory that migration from winter to
summer quarters Is prompted primarily
by the desire to find a nesting ground.

Powell Men Want

Angered at the dilatory tactics of
the state highway authorities and
plainly possessed of actual misgivings
as to any enthusiasm on the part of
the road authorities as to traffic on
the road from Powell to Cody, the
governor of the State of Wyoming
has been wired n request for imme-

and DR.. T. j. Ice, president of the
Powell chamber Of commerce.
In the telegram the governors at
%tention is called to the excellent man
{ in which the dude highway run
ming through the barron wilderness
from Cody to Greybull is kept in
condition. Reference is made TO the
weeks of delay in putting IN a small
bridge over Sage Greek on the Cody
Powell road, and that the bridge has
not yet been constructed, whereas
only t~hirty-six hours work was re-
quired to repair a similar bridge
washed out on the dude highway from

The well dressed woman who must

Unappreciative Children.

Children are so unappreciative

to think nothing of it. Just take
everything as matter of course"
In the first place. you gave it as a
for it, asked for it, and when he ar
rived at home one day there it was.
All he had to do was to take 1t and
use it. 1t came as easily as his breath
and cost him just as much. He is
not to blame for his lack of apprecia-
ton. He has no basis ,or 1t.
In order to appreciate the value of
a thing in terms OF money, and the
work and self-denfal that gave value
to the money, the child must have
personal experience with all the ele-
ments associated with it. He has to
undergo the self-discipline of the
work, and the sacrifice involved in
using the money for another than
himself. ----
preciation? Then what can it be?
You wanted him to thank you for the
gift? He did-but that was from his
lips only and you were dissadsned
You wanted it from the spirit. You
wanted him to comprehend the love
that prompted you to labor and sac
rifice for his pleasure. Don't you see
he cannot? Don't you know he must
do the labor and he must suffer the
sacrifice before he knows the mean
ing of it? And isn't that the very
last thing you are willing to let
him do?
why should he work? I am will
ing TO do it for him. Besides, he must
attend to his lessons. That's more
important to him than working and
earning the money for his desires.
All 1 want of him is little apprecia-
ton of what's being done for him."
Then I'm afraid you want what he
has not to give. None OF US, child
or man, values in terms of humanity
what we do not earn in those terms.
We must be content to have it true
for the children. Many things that
We never had as children we give
ours because they are a part OF every
day living and necessary for the COM
pIete living of the children. Radios
and monographs and cars are every
day experiences for our youngsters.
ana because they are new to us we
think they should be thrilled by their
possession. They are not and they
cannot be.
Let us make up our minds that
certain experiences and possessions
are the inheritance of the children
by right of birth, and dismiss all
idea OF appreciation and thanks from
the situation as we do when we order
their dinners and clothes. But lest
they grow up in ignorsnee Of the
acters, loving acknowledgment of
their parents sacrifice and care, let
us make sure that they gain by ex-
perience the knowledge of labor and
sacrifice and service for others
That must be done on the scale of
childhood and not on the adult scale.

The Best Dress"

We are all familiar with the wom-
an who has one best black silk
dress" which is. as she tells us. al
ways ready for everything" What
she does not tell us is that she sell
dom feels right or appropriately
dressed at anything.
The fact of the matter is. that the
distinction of the best dress" is
largely passing out or women's ward
robes This is partly due TO the revo-
lutionary changes that have come
about in the manufacture of mate
rials. There was a time in the early
days of the country when silks sold
for much more a yard than they do
now, and a silk dress was supposed
to last not only for many seasons,
but for many years. II was, indeed,
not an uncommon thing to bequeath
a dress, just as one did a silver urn
or other valued possession, and fire.
quently the dress was valued at more
than the silver.
Few OF our dresses would last to-
day to hand down to the next genera
ton. even if they cared to have them,
which they would not, There are
so many more fabrics on the market
today from which to choose our ward
robes, and with prices to suit every
purse so that it is possible to have
a new dress more often than in those
good old days of old, and certainly
the balance is all on the hygienic
side. if not on the economy side of
the ledger. in the fact that a garment
no longer does duty from generation
to generation.
