Nv FAY FRANK

Miss Frank is high school junior just turned 16. ~'
 The writer of the following article and of others which will follow it is a high school junior just about 16 years old. What she writes on the bringing. up of children, she says, is based upon her rexpereince as what was known, as an ''impudent child" At 13 she was allowed to discipline herself, and since that time her parents agree that she has been infinitely more agreeble and altogether admirable.
 ". Youth And Her se%ets F
 Around the age of 14 mother notices that Marjorie is growing away from her. She observes that her daughter confides more in her school pals thanI in her, and it occurs to her that she knows hardly anything at all about Marjorie's ideas, ideals or plans. This fact, this awakening, is very painful on mothers to bear, but when they get over the first shock they don't know how to bring their daughters around, how to take the place of the pals that their daughters need so much and crave for. s.sa.a..
 First of all, what is it that bothers' the average home girl between the ages oqf 14 and IS? She experiences her first romances, she starts corresponding with chaps she meets at dances, and, on the whole, two-thirds of her time is taken up by "the boys To me, this stage in ones life is beautiful; girls learn a great deal about life, about com2anionship and about ''crushes," but ini,pite of the harmless appear ance of this period, as in everything else, dangerous results are to be feared, if the proper precautions are not taken, and the best precaution I can prescribe is { mothers watchful eye.
 So much for that. Now, how are you to get your children believe in you?
 Like everything. else, your chances are much better if you go about things the right way-avoid doing the follow ing "don'ts: :'' as,
 1. Don't force your cnofidence on your daughter; that, about spells your chances.

A FAIR COMPROMISE

 One day the paterfamilies was asked by a friend as to the outcome of this controversy. We have compromised. '' said the father. I've decided to call him Dovid Ber."
 "What kind of compromise is this ?'' marveled the other; you have simply yielded to your wife"

THAT WORD2
FERRY

The original meaning of the very ts ferry is conveyed by the coupiet m an early English poem, which describes how the king, gone a-courting among his faithful subjects, was "kaht bi the heles, feryed out bi the feet
 In those days the verb to ferry meant to carry, or, as in the cited case of the king. to drag .Ort- ~
 The use of the noun ferry as boat Tor vessel for carrying passengers or goods across a body of water was an afterthought.
 The application is quite logical. Ferrying is carrying. only that it is now restricted to carrying over a body of water. By the same token it would be extremely difficult to ferry king out by the heels

In the Old Days

Noble families in England In the
Middle ages shared common plates
and cups, used fingers instead Of forks,
licked their plates, wiped their teeth
on the tablecloth and scrambled for
the largest portion. Books on etf-
Quette issued in the Fifteenth century
pointed out that these things were not
good manners. The art of cooking in
the Middle ages flourisbed, however,
cooks excelling at artistic and rich
confectionery. Dancing in medieval
times was true to Its name. Dancers
really moved with nimbleness and
agility instead of slowly posturing
round the room. The noble and his
family and servants lived and slept in
the great hall Of the castle, with next
to no privacy. A better state Of things
evolved gradually. more rooms being
added and more windows put In, in
suring greater seclusion for the lord
and his family.-Detroit News.

Landing Of the Paul Revere.
The Paul Revere tied up at the
landing shortly after two O'Clock The
usual crowd of onlookers thronged the
bank, attention being temporarily di-
verted from an important game of
''horseshoes" that was taking place In
shanty.
Pitching horseshoes was the daily
fair-weather pastime Of the male pop

another during the course Of the day.

came down to the grove to shy horse
shoes at the stationary but amazingly
elusive pegs. 1t was not an uncom-
mon thing for a merchant to close his
place of business for an hour or so in
order to keep an engagement to pitch
horseshoes with some time-honored
adversary.
There were a score of passengers on
board the Paul Revere, among them
Barry Lapelle. He kept well in the
rear Of the motley throng Of voyaEers,

only In sartorial distinction by the far
famed gambler. Sylvester Hornaday.

From afar Barry had recognised

too, had caught sight of him long be-

She waved her kerchief.
He lifted his hat and blew kiss to
her. thrill of exultation ran through
him. He had not expected her to

"Spinning Top" Helps
Pilot to Steer Ship

Although the need for pilots with
their expert knowledge of navigation
will always exist, much of their work
Is now being done by a small instru-
ment designed on the spinning-top
principle.
This wonderful little contrivance,
known as the gyro-compass, is oper-
ated in conjunction with the steering
engines of a ship, and automatically
adjusts the rudder to meet even the
slightest deviation from the set COURSE
A. 10,OO0-ton Atlantic liner was re-
Gently steered from Plymouth to Cher
bourg by its means, no human inter-
vention being necessary in spite Of
the fact that gale of from sixty to
sixty-five miles an hour was blowing
at the time.
The great vessel responded immedi-
ately to the corrections imposed on 1t
by little wheel spinning in vacuum
at over 5000 revolutions a minute, the
course itself being set with the aid Of
another wheel no bigger than a FIVE
shilling piece.
In appearance the gyrO-compass is
not unlike one of the interesting little
scientific toys called gyroscope,
which will spin in an upright position.
on any surface, as, for example, the
rim of a tumbler. A valuable feature
is that it not only steers ship, but
keeps a record on n chart Of the course
1t has followed.
Its use means that pilots can set the
course and leave the ship to follow it
while ithey give their attention to
other mysteries of their craft.
