PERFECT GIFT
FROMHEAVEN
BY VIM. A. McKeever-

~EGIN from the first to
think of your child as 8 per-
- feet gift from Heaven. Even
before an infant is born its
mother should hold the thought
Of its perfection and contemplate
the advent of the new life as
the realization Of a Divine pur-
pose.
No creature IL better than the
image out Of which he IL formed.
II your understanding Of the ma.
ture Of the perfect child IL weak.
or II you tend to regard the baby
as sort of burden or nuisance,
then the growth Of his body and
mind will take on corresponding
Irregularities.
Even after your baby toy be-
comes a dirty-faced little dust
singer you may continue to hold
q vision Of the divine in his
nature and 80 contribute to the
increasing worth Of his person.
atty. mo trouble, fault or SEEM
ing ugliness can draw my atten-
ton away from the idea OF the
unscarred, unspoiled child which
secretly lures me to perform my
duty regarding him." says the
mother Of a noisy two-year-old.
It IL not enough to think OF
your boy or girl in the image Of
unfolding ideal, but every word
and deed Of yours must be d.
rected toward the same goal. 1t
is often a matter of surprise to
the ordinary good mother to be
shown that by thinking in terms
Of fear and blunder regarding
her offspring she brings some
kind Of menace or injury into his
innocent existence. 1.-THE thing
which 1 feared Is come upon
me-" says the scriptural adage.
Fear blurs the judgment and
makes inaccurate the physical
deeds performed in behalf Of the
baby.
Finally, when your, child is old
enough to feel the force Of your
mind and to be swayed by your
emotions, you will note how
easily he may be carried along
on the plane Of the ideal and the
inspired thinking necessary to
make his being healthy and
whole. There will. be charm and
Joy and optimism enough for
both Of you. Begin early. keep
it up. falling into the habit Of
idealizing the perfect child day
by day as you manage the real
one-and all will turn out de.
lightfully.

kET THINK I'd liketto play in

II pa" said Bobby one day
when we were out in California.
What instrument would you
like to play?" I asked.
This one" replied Bobby,
showing me a picture Of a saxo.
phone which he saw in a maya
zine.
How could / make enough
money to buy one?" he asked.
That's quite q problem for a
little boy, isn't it?" I querled.
ut certainly isn't fair to have
to wait until I grow up before
can make some money" lgrunted
Bobby.

Bobby" said I. "If you will wait
until Christmas. I'll make you q

"oh," shouted Bobby, that

do you think you can wait

II guess III have to-" laughed
the boy.
But Christmas came before we
knew 1t. Bobby was given his
promised saxophone and soon
there sounded many unusual
noises which had not been heard
in the house before. In fact.
sometimes, although I was
amused at Bobby's efforts to play
the instrument, I must admit the
noise got on my nerves. And I
was quite sure that the neighbors
were not approaching his prac-
ticing. So I SAID:
Bobby, don't you think It
would be a good idea for you to
take your saxophone and go
down to the beach to practice?
You would be getting the fresh
air at the same time"
That's q good idea, Foxy
Grandpa. I'll go down this very
afternoon" he declared, much to
my relief.
True to his word, as soon as
Bobby came home from school
that afternoon, he took his saxo-
phone and off to the beach he
went.
After a while thought I
would walk down and see how he
was getting along. So I called
Bunny and down we went, too.
There was Bobby perched up
on a rock, with his music in front
of him and blowing for all he was
worth.
At that moment Bunny tu6ged

THE PARSNIP'S|

A LTHOUGH parsnips may be
IA and often are eaten in the
IA fall or winter. they are
not at all the same vegetable as
those that have developed a sweet
rich flavor by waiting for spring.
Not all parsnips remain small,
choice and tender, but this over
size on their part may be counter
acted by cutting out the woody
center and leaving the rest quite
as tender and delectable as its
more petite sisters.
The parsnip is a vegetable that
requires complementary season.
ing Of fat in one form or another
IL its best flavor Is to be tasted.
For this reason parsnips are often
stewed with a bit Of salt pork or
fatty meat or are served buttered
or fried in deep fat or slightly
sauted in butter. Plain boiled
parsnips may get their necessary
tat from a plain drawn butter
sauce.
One Of the best parsnip dishes
IL made by baking parsnips with
bacon. The parsnips are cleaned,
scraped and boiled or steamed un.
til partially tender. They are
then cut in strips and placed log
cabin style in a baking dish. Salt,
pepper. strips of bacon and a very
little hot water are added: the
dish covered and baked for half
an hour. The cover Is then re-
moved to brown the bacon and
dry out the parsnips slightly.
The peculiar sweet pleasant
flavor Of the parsnip permits It
to assume a place among the deb-
serts II 1t appears in the souffle
for which a recipe follows:

and all the boyish weakness and

me, and then Park turned to
Mabel and held out both his
hands with a gesture of infinite
yearning. Mabel put her hands
into his as simply as she had
given her hands to me a little
while before. But 1 noticed how
stiff and tense her bare arms
were.
:Take care of her for me. Make
her happy, Mrs. Anne Harrison,

French COnferees
To Get Home Folks
View on Ruhr Region

LONDON, mug. (By A. P.)-
Premier Herriot, war minister Gen.
eral Nollet and Finance Minister
Clementel will go to Paris tomorrow
afternoon for a cabinet conference
and the negotiations of the interna-
tional conference here will be practi-
cally suspeded until they return.
Action by the French cabinet was
necessitated by the fact that the
question of the evacuation of the
Ruhr is the chief obstacle to. any
final agreement ofrthe conference and
also because M. Herriot and General
Nollet are reported to be in disagree
ment on this important matter.
The French premier promises to
return to the British capital Mondy
morning. The Ru' n Evacuation
question and the maintenance of the
Franco-Kelgian railroad men in the
Rhineland system will be put up. to
the cabinet.
The French AM. Belgians both are
holding out for maintaining their ma
tlonals on the German railways. The
French also demand they be assured
that the Germans will fill their or
ders for dyes and coke necessary to
insure the future of the Alsatian steel
and textile industries. These de-
tAoiiuo arc aiLoIuiliS IuTtHer obstacles
to an immediate agreement in Lon
don.
The real work of smoothing out
the differences between the French
and Germans is being done in private
meetings rather than in conference
sessions and the efforts both sides
have been making to retain as many
weapons as possible for trading pur-
poses have probably eXaggera ted
their differences to a considerable
extent. Optimism is general in al
led circles over the ultimate outcome.
