THE AFTER SCHOOL LUNCH
Marion Brownfield

"I want some meat, 1 want some
meat" came the wild Indian tones
of a boy as he rushed into the liv-
ing room after school, much to the
discomfort of his mother who was
entertaining caller.
"You can't have it" she retorted'
"Be quiet"
But I'm hungry" persisted the
boy.
well then, go and get some crack
ers," said his mother, glad OF the eX-
cuse to send him off.
All children are beset with an af-
ter school hunger that is perfectly
natural. The problem is how to give
them something wholesome that will
not interfere with the regular meals.
At another time this same boy with
both hands full of cake passed
through the room where his sister
was practicing her piano lesson.
why, Ted!" she exclaimed half
enviously, you know you can't have
that cake. Mother made it for sup
per-"
But Ted, delighted with his prize,
rushed out before her protests
should interfere with his enjoyment
of the cake.
Raids on the ice box, cupboard and
lam jar are all the results of
thoughtlessness of either Mother or
the children. The child who knows
he can always have something to eat
after school does not resort to such
lawless measures.
One clever mother has solved the
problem. She does not insist that
these between-meal snacks shall be
bread and butter or an apple; she
has a little system of surprises. In
a certain place in the kitchen there
are three paper plates awaiting the
three children each afternoon. Often
there is fruit there; bunch OF
grapes, an orange, a banana or some |
figs. Frequently there are a couple |
of crackers. Sometimes these are
spread with peanut butter if they are
plain crackers. Perhaps they will be |
of different kinds; there may be a
fig bar and a graham cracker. Per-
haps there will be an apple, and
walnut to crack. Even left-oVers are
enjoyed as a surprise; bread pud-
ding, an ear of corn, tomato or
scraps made into an interesting
sandwich sometimes greets the
youngsters. AS a real treat, the left
over may be cake! Because it is I'M
derstood that the luncheon must be
eaten "as is" with no requests for
more until meal time, the plan re-
lieves the mother of great deal of
teasing and it also prevents the
temptation to dip into food prepar-
ed for a coming meal.

Making ErasureS in
TYpewriting

When an error has been made in
typewriting, it has been found good
practice to backspace and type the
correct word over the wrong one be-
fore attempting to erase. This tends
to raise the surface of the parts of the
paper imprinted with the wrong let
tiers, and makes erasure much easier.
The entire operation of retyping the
correction and erasing the wrong one
takes less time than the usual method.

Sunlight as Brain Food

In addition to their beneficial eff
fects, the rays of natural or artificial
sunlight are declared to serve the pur-
pose of brain food, according to Sir
Henry Gauvain, a British surgeon.
Proper exposure to sunshine, he says,
if carried out in a rational and in
structed way, increases the intellec-
tual output, and he offers as proof,
comparative mental tests made on
two groups of children in two differ
ent London hospitals. Those who were
receiving special treatment at one in
stitutiOn where sun exposure was reg
ularly given, manifested such great
mental superiority over another
group not so treated that the differ
ence could be credited only to the
sunlight effect.

Clean the Cutters

Home builders are often disap-
pointed because the roof cutters rust
away in what seems a comparatively
short time, but the fault is usually
their own. At least once a year the
cutters should be thoroughly cleaned
out and rainted, especially on the in
side. When this is done, the "dra1 -"
of the cutters should also be noted
that is, every length of gutter Shout
have a uniform drop toward the
downspout so that there will be nc
pockets in which water can collect
and rust the gutter through. Thn
means also that there should be a
sufficient number of hangers or sup
ports to each length of gutter to pre-
vent any sag.

HOME RULE ACT CAUSING CHAOS
Laws as Far Back aS 1894 May
 Be lnVa[idated

New York, July Pt-Logislative chaos in the government of New York state and in 4 of It's 60 cities i3 feared by the home rule commits sion if a court decision invalidating the home rule amendment to the state constitution and it's enabling act is upheld.
 Laws passed under constitutional amendments dating back Sl years to the adoption of the present constitu- ton must be found void James J. Hoey, chairman of the commission says, because the amendments were submitted to the people by the legis- lature in the same manner as the home rule amendment. Included are those dealing with the S45,000,- 900 soldiers bonus. Workingmen's compensation, and $300O00,00O in bond issues. Bond specialists say however, that even if the issues should be technically invalid there is legal precedent to compel pay ments of interest and principal. Third class cities are left without any provision for holding elections this year, Mir. Hoey says, and he re- gards the legal entanglemcnts in prospect for them as almost hope less confusion.
 Corporation Counsel George P. Nicholson of New York Is to seek a stay of execution of the decision and file an appeal to the court of ap- peals. The house rule commission also plans proceedings.

French Newspaper Editor Calls Upon Govt. To Authorize Its

Paris July Pl-Charles Maur. ras, royallst leader, urges the French to use poison gas in the war with Ahd- El-Krim's Riffian tribesmen in Morocco
 In the newspaper L'Action Fran caise of which he Is an editor, he says Inc dropping of gas bombs upon Riff villages would have Abd-El- Krim begging for mercy within q few weeks. He protests at the French governments moderation ip refraining from using gas in Noroc- so and says all the materials neces. sary for a gas offensive are ready but the government has refused to authorize their use.
 M. Maurras avows that fear of communist criticism causes Premier painleye to be unwilling to gas the I}iffians, He says another reason for the restraint is the French govern ments attitude at the Geneva arms conference anti-gas protocol, but asks whether this agreement should apply to Abd- El-krim since he has not signed it, As another reason for
 using gas in the Riffian warfare he says that Abd- FL Krim has put out the eyes and cut out the tongues o' some native tribesmen who refuse

Starts Huge Fund to Be Used
 for This Purpose

New York, July R-For study Of the possibility Of maintaining world peace by taking the profit out of war Bernard NJ, Baruch has given at least s25O,00o to the Walter Hines Page school of inter national relations at Johns Hopkins university.
 Announcement of the gift was made yesterday by owen D. Young, associate of Vice President Dawes, in separations matters and chairman of the trustees of the school.
 The investigation will be carried on at Johns Hopkins and at foreign universities. The exact amount of the gift will depend on the costs of the studies over period of at least three years. It may reach $500, 900.
 Mir. Baruchs Idea for the fund vas based, Mir. Young said, on his experiences on the var industries board.

other cities affected will probably join in the light on the decision.
 In all 40 ordinances in tho Al cities which have accepted the home rule amendment are nullihed by the decision. Among the things affected by the decision are prohibition en- forcement ordinances In Watertown and Geneva.
 The appellate divisions ruling held that the constitution required two successive legislatures to pass a proposed amendment In the same form before ratification by the peo- ,ple. The home rule amendment, the court declared, was slightly changed before its second passage by the leg islature. The home rule enabling act went into effect Jan. l, 1924. The amendment prohibited the leg. islature from passing laws applying specially to one city. but permitted such legislation when applicable to all cities,
 Mir. Hoey says that no amendment adopted since 1894 has been read in full and without change to two successive legislatures
 Governor Smith has no intention of calling a special session of the legislature until further court action develops. To straighten out the tangle the legislature would have 10 pass enabling bills for all the l4Q ! local ordinances.
 Mayor Hylan charged that the alteration in the home rule amend ment when passed the second time was premedItated and brought about by the foes of home rule for cities which changed under domination of the legislature. Republicans charged Mayor Hylan's leutenants with re- sponsibiity for the blunder.

Wealthy New Yorker Fails to
 Find Child to Adopt

New York, July 8 Rl-Although he has interviewed 150 children who ftocked to his office in response to an advertisement, Edward w. Browning, wealthy real estate opera tor, has so far failed in his quest for Cinderella to adopt as a playmate for another foster child, Dorothy Sunshine Browning, 9 years old.
 Dorothy with everything that money can buy, love and attention, yearns for a playmate. She has 200 Parisian frocks, 100 dolls, hundreds of pieces of jewelry and her own Rolls Royce. Mir. Browning is will ling 10 heap the same advantages upon some other daughter of the poor If she is pretty, refined and fl years old.
 Parents and guardians have be- sieged him with children of all types. He was offered whole families of girls, five and seven in a bunch, the pick of three in Scotland and even boys. But he doesn't want a boy.
 You cant give boy a car, a large allowance and every indul- gence," Mir. Browning said, land ex- pect him to turn out to be suc- cessful man.
 "Giving Dorothy so many toys, clothes and pretty beads will not spoil her. She always gets dresses in patches of a dozen. I am sending her A sets of beads each contain ing five strings. Most of them she will give away 10 her little friends" ."
 MT. Browning's only theory of education is that child should be allowed to do whatever she wants. To that end he has not yet found another girl of Just the right per sonality for companionship with Dorothy.
