MOTHERS AND BETTER HOMES

We don't know who is responsible, but some
body had good sense of the fitness of things when
Better Homes Week was selected as the week of
May IL, following Mothers Day on May 10. u
Mothers and good homes are as inseparable as
the sunlight is from the summers day. Some
times even in summer the great clouds gather,
momentarily hiding the sunlight and casting a
dark shadow Likewise, sometimes gloc and
despair seem to rob the home of it's cheer and hap
piness. But when mother is there-the real
mother love and mother spirt-there can be no
permanent shadow, for the light of mother-ove
perneates the seeming darkness and dispels the
gloom
Many of US associate the Better Home move
ment with mere houses. 1t is true that comfort
able houses, we'll built structures, are conductive
to better homes Modern arrangements and ap-
planes are the essence of comfort and tighten
the load of household burdens Good materials,
good architecture, pleasing designs, but-ins,
fre-places, furniture, foundations roofs and land
scaping are all desirable in the formation and
maintenance of good homes. But it does not neces-
sarily follow that there can not be good home
better homes without the finest of these material
additions
The first requisite to a good home is loyal, low
ing mother, a mother who has not so far departed
from her God-given mission as to either forget or
deny
That the voices of children-HER children
are Just little sWeeter than the music at her
clubs program;
That the flowers that grow in the little plot of
ground at the side of the house are just little
fairer than the gorgeous vegetation of the trop-
ical isles of her dreams;
That the little sand piles which the youngsters
dig and heap in the back yard are just little more
majestic than the towering Alps she had hoped
sometime to see;
That the "drudgery" of her own kitchen sink is
a little more honorable after all than the seeking
of fame out among the wiles of the world
that ends in bitter regret and lost ambition;
That her divine intuition and inspiration to an
equally devoted husband and father is after al
just little more honorable after all than the
and the worlds business than any unjust and I'M
equal competition on her part by donning the
overals in the sordid masculine fields of CRIME
and sweat;

BUSINESS, RAIN OR SHINE"

The old circus that gave a show rain or shine
had the right idea There are too many dry
weather merchants, "dry-weather" shoppers; too
little rain or shine business. Of course these
terms are used figuratively; the point being that
we are too apt to become discouraged at every
whim of depression or essening of optimistic pub

In the days of Shakespeare's famous heroine, buying
and selling were contests of wits. InVenice, haggling and
dickering were the vogue. Along the Rialto, sharp prac-
tice was the rule. Every purchase of silk or spices was
made at the buyers risk. One had to be a shrewd judge
of values and ones fellows to escape trickery.
Portals fatherla merchant-was used to the ideas of
guess, luck and accident. So much so, indeed, that it
seemed natural to him to entrust the choice of his daugh-
ters husband to three closed caskets and a lucky guess!
Nowadays, we do not transact business b1indly-nor leave
important decisions to chance. 1t is not necessary for us
to gamble when we buy. Commodities are identified for
US by trademarks. Manufacturers goto the advertising
scribe their merchandise price, quality and service.
BY reading advertisements, we get a knowledge of
goods and stores that we can depend on. Advertsinp re-
duces chance, in buying, to a minimum.

that It would be the last time we

cheered to find that the sailors had
painted in huge white letters on the
deck the two words, Good luck.
Next we passed the Barry with

Shutting off the motor we dove

that we were away out at the mouth

very rough. But we cared not a rap
for rough seas now, so delighted
were we to have found Fredericks-
dal at all. Taxieing seeral miles up
the ford between the snowy noun

they came at a hundred miles an

catch the top OF a big wave and

Military men would like to sec perpetual peace. they positively ab- hor war, according 10 Col D. Gordon Hunter. of Hartford who addressed the New Britain kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel today. Colonel Hunter told his hearers that the United States has but one army, one con- bined military organization since the passage of the national defense act of 1920. Because of their distast for. war, soldiers naturally believe in preparedness, he explained.
 He stated that the regular army, which he said was composed of pro- fossiona soldiers, constituted the first line of defense, the national guard the second and the reserve of tlCors' training corps the third. He said the regular army is doing duty in Cuba, the Philippines, China, Japan and throughout the United States in various capacities from the Canadian border to Texas. This leaves a skeleton organization and means that in case of an emergency the national guard will be first line of defense.
