LISTEN, WORLD!
Mama-in-law's Rights
By ELSIE ROBINSON

some girls do-always being snubbcd
by their in-lawS. They've got TO
know from the start that they can't
treat me as an outsider. But Clay
won't listen TO me. He thinks Of
course, that his mother is simply per
feet. What do you think, Elsie"
l think you'd better make Il rec
ord of few of your present remarks
and hold them until you have a
daushtcr-in-law of your own. They
may go far toward making you n
meek old lady-mecknesS being some
thing you haven't sproutcd YET.
Stop and use your Imagination if
you have one, my dear. Here is Il
woman who mothercd YOUR" Clay
ton for % years. She began the job
when she was little older than you
are now. She was selfish, rs you are
selfish. She wanted fun and freedom.
She, TOO, was in love, and she wanted
to go adventuring with her love, rs
you do with yours. Then came n day
when she knew that there would be
no vcnturing for many moons. There
followed months of sickness ana
wcarincss-months when she alter
nately dreamed and rebelled. She
DIDN'T want to grow old. She want
ed to stay young and supple and free.
She hated herself and that growing
life. But the days went on.
Then came at last n day that she
could never clearly remember after
wards. so shredded was il with pain,
so blotted with black sinking into the
pit.
With evening she lay spent and
still and gray. BUT i'll her arm there
lay your Clayton And swelling
through her painting veins there came
the fierce. sweet urge of Motherhood.
Never again was that urge TO leave
her. until those veins should dry and
stifien in death.
So her girlhOod went and Clayton
came. So she began 10 pay the price
for his lifc-thc price she will never
cease from paying.
Look back and think Of those years.
The slecpless nights and weary days
when he was n baby. The troubled
hours when he grew to be boy. The
black hours of anxiety while he won
through some physical or moral crisis.
Think how it all hurt-but think a $50

years went by to the memories, with
the fire passing from her to him and
the inspiration passing from him TO

The world had handed Mama-in-Law
many mean one. Which same she
often deserved. Feminine cussedness
too often seems to crystalizc when Il
lady reaches that difficult relation

the cudgels for Mama and I'm gong

Gently married young Clayton Harris
They have been married exactly seven
weeks and four days.
But of course" says Helene. we
feel ms if we'd been married FOR
EVER. And I'm SURE that our
souls have known each other for ages
and AGES"
All of which listens very pretty,
but watch how it works out. Nat
urally, seein' as they've been ac-
ouainted for several million years,
Helene feels that she's quite intimate
with Cay. In fact, she is firmly
convinced in common with most young
wives, that she is nearer than anyone
on earth to her husband. So it peeveS
her considerably when the elder Mrs.
Harris has little private chats with
son Clay. and calls him up at the
office, asks him to give her lift III
the auto and wishes to have him
sometimes ALL ALONE TO HER
SELF.
shes been lovely TO me, too" says
Helene. "She has given me ever 50
many pretty things for the house and
has always seemed so nice to me. But
I know perfectly well that she sim
ply HATES me and is trying TO Gtcal
Clay from me.
Last week she was very sick for
three days. She had 10 have all her
meals in bed. She called Clay UP
every night and asked him TO drop
over for minute. OF course, we
went right over together, and Of
fered TO stay with her all the time,
but she said she didn't need me.
But the third night when she
called him she asked him to come BY
HIMSELF-eaids she was too tired tC
talk to anyone else and just needed
him. He didn't want to tell me AT
first. but ] got it out of him. Nat

has she to ask TO see my husband

Hear now, my Daughter, the prayer
OF the Untamed Bachelor, which he
chanteth in triumph.

l thank Thee, that Beauty Contests

my morning paper without fear that
mine eyes be emittcn by forty editions
of the female form divine. For they
have become unto me as nail in the
shoe and an ingrowing eyelash.
I thank Thee, that l have passed
safely through all the summer phases,
yea. and the super-pash; and have
shed the last of these with my tennis
shoes and my hay-fcvcr.

more sit down without fear lest / spu;

And. that | may dwell once more
amid the comforts uf my bachelOr-flat,

Of n good bath-tub, and arise to the

Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
Where Monkeys Are Useful.

81 certainly would like to have one
Of those cocoanuts," said Bobby, look
ing IN into the tall palm tree, where
the brown cocoanuts looked as il they
were about ready to drop, but didn't.
They say the milk is particularly
fine in the cocoanuts here, too" said
Bunny. I'm not much on drinking
things, but l must say that sounds
good to me-
You couldn't possibly climb one Of
those trees unless you were monkeys

you and Bobby monkeys"
When we cut up monkey-shines, l
suppose" chuckled Bunny.
do you know" 1 went on, II once
heard of a boy who, when he first
went to the zoo, said he knew why
monkeys were called monkeys.
why, Foxy Grandpa?" asked
Bobby.
Because he said, they cut up
monkey shines
I'D like to monkey-shine up that
tree" laughed Bobby, Il know Mr..
Kingsley would let us have one Of
| those cocoanuts."
I'm quite sure he would 1 agreed,
sorry that there was no way OF pick
ing one off the tree that knew of.
Now, as it happened, Jocko, Mr..
Kingsley's pet monkey, was tied 10
the porch on which we were sitting.
and when he heard us talking 1 no.
ticed that he got very nervous and
started swaying back and forth inn
patiently.
"Wondcr If he understood us and
we hurt his feclings?" said Bobby rath-
err apologetically. I'VE were talking
about his family, you know. He max
be sensitive"
Hardly think So" said Bunny.
Mr.. Kingsley was away that day
on business and when he came back
Jocko ran to the full length of his
chain to greet him and smiled and
cut UP all kinds OF monkeJ-shines to
show his joy at his masters return
You've got to do some work to-
! night, JOcko." said Mr.. Kingsley, be
cause | see some nuts are ripe. They're
the finest in this part Of the island. "
| We were down on n little island in
| southern Pacific near Samoa, where
the great Robert Louis Stevenson lived.
If YOU haven't started reading his
books you must start as soon as you
can. for you will enjoy them, / aio
sure.
| Now. what could Jocko have to do
with the cocoanuts, wondered. Bot
l soon found out.
Because right after supper Mr.
Kingsley came out of the house with
long rome. This rope he tied around
Jocko, who seemed to understand OK
actly what it was for. because he i'm.
mcdatcly ran toward the tree and was
up it like n flash as his master paid
out the rope.
Then Jocko did start to work. He
carefully selected n cocoanur, though
how he ever knew which ones TO pick
| cannot tell you. But he certainly
picked the ripe ones and after he had
loosencd them from the tree down he
threw them onto the ground and was
very careful not to hit his master.
Good boy" said Mr.. Kingsley
picking up his little monkey and pat
ting him. "You shall have some CO
coanut yourself"
Weren't they good. Foxy Grand
pa?" said Bobby that night as we wer,
undressing.
But wasn't Jocko wonderful-to be
trained like that?" | exclaimed.
"Some monkey business isn't so bad
is it?" came Bunny's voice from tn,
veranda. where he was admiring the
starlit sky.

Before you use n new tooth brush
soak it in hot halt water. This not

as long.
Gilt frames should be busted and

Pork Steaks
Baked Potatoes
Baked Onions
Apple Sauce
Head Lettuce
Bread Tarts
By Alice Irwin

Apple Sauce
Head Lettuce
Bread Tarts
Many of us who make frequent use
Of pork chops have never made the
acquaintance of pork steaks, which
are really most delicious, especially if
you happen to agree with me that
a little fat goes long way.
Pork steaks cut from the loin are
the best, but they can be cut from the
neck. The skin is removed from them
and they arc trimmed; then broiled
without seasoning. If you live in n
small apartment and your stove lacks
a broiler, they may be pan-broiled,
for which you heat cast aluminium
or iron frying pan and put the meat
in (no fat is required) when the pan
is sizzling.
When the meat is broilcd, it is
sprinkled with salt and pepper, placed
in n hot dish witch can be covered,
rubbed lightly with sprig of sage
and halved onion and spread with
butter. Then it is covered closely and
set in n hot oven for about five min
utes. Just enough sage and onion are
used to give a delicious aroma to the
meat. Spareribs may be cooked in
this same way.
Bread tarts are made by mixing
one cup fresh bread crumbs with one
half cup mOlasses and the Juice and
grated rina of one lemon. Then one
half cup sugar is eiftcd with two table
spoons Of flour and added to this mix
ture and unbeaten yolks of two eggs.
This is stirred well then turned into
pie tin lined with crust and baked
in moderate oven $3.50 dcgrccs) for
A. minutes. If tarts are made. they
will require only e1out % minutes
baking at the same temperature.
When the pie or tarts have cooled
they are covered with meringuc
made by adding two tablespoons of
cold water to the two egg whites and
beating until frothy, then adding four
tablespoons sugar and continuing beat
ing until stiff. Then they are return
I'd to moderate oven to brown (about
10 minutes Mt temperature no high
er than 800 degrces).

that Professor G. NJ. Jansky Of the
University Of Minnesota has invent
ed a radio device which sends mes
sages without a generator and with

of this lies in its use in %airplanes as
by using it they may send messages

other mishaps which prevent gener-
ating power by the motor.

T. consented to show us the new
home he began last fall and nov has
ready for the plasterers.
The Toavs family will have a real

family, IA members all told. The
building is a frame structure, square
in shape and of large dimensions full
basement that will accommodate a
heating plant. Delco lighting plant,
laundry room, storage rooms; two
full stories with lots of space in a

will also be an enclosed porch across
the east front. In all there will be
the equivalent of about Is spacious
rooms, besides bath room, closets,
and halls. The site is surrounded by
young groves of flourishing trees and
commands a delightful view down the
valley of the Dry Fork, the vista
reaching to the Missouri.
