Shrinking Standard Measures.

The need for standard weights and
mea Sures was recognized in the trade
of even the ancient world. Today
every government maintains officlal
standards in the form of a vessel
holding a standard quart, a platinum
bar, standard foot long, and so
forth. 1t is difficult, though, to keep
these standard measures from chang
ing shape 1t has been found that
slight change in shape will accom-
pany the most imperceptible changes
in temperature. a noted case is that
of some steel balls maintained by our
Government for gauging the diameter
of pipes and tubes. These standard
balls are supposed TO be perfect
spheres, but by constant use ii has
been found that the balls f1atten a
little on one side. or become slightly
elongated The difference would not
be perciptible 10 the eye. but
would show up when YOU tried to
pass the balls through a tube sup
posed to fit them exactly. The cause
and cure of this trouble is not yet
known.

but Con did not ask Merton into the
house. and Jean was uncomfortably
aware of the fact that the situation
between the two men was strained
Merton knew that Cons remark had
been made in earnest and would not
forget it. How absurd it all was,

Haven't l the right to go and come

Mrs. Morgan had begun to weep

go upstairs when Conrad seized her
by the arm.

Possession.

One secret of happiness is to want
little. Possession means so little.

piness out of window shopping. be
cause he sees so many things he
does not want If one could teach
children that game early it would
bring much contentment into their
present lives. to say nothing of the
content it would bring to old age.
Wanting things is - prod to
growth. If we wanted nothing we
would never grow spiritually or
mentally. We must continue to want
in order to make progress. That
seems to be one Of the principles of
growth in civilization.
Wants arc so many and as varied
as the people who cherish them.
Some Of them are worthless and
should be cast out and some of them
are the roOtspring of our lives and
should be fOstered to fulfillment. To
this end we try to teach children to
be discriminating in their wants. To
want everything one sees is to face
ruin in the end. Energy is limited
and our space III time is Il short span.
We must choose what we shall pos
sess and bend all our efforts toward
that end and waste as little as we
may.

| you would carry out the plan devel'
oped so successfully by the parents
about whom l am speaking. Unless
there are places for the articles, or
course, the children would be handi-
| capped and could not put things away
| in any systematic or orderly fashion.
The Rummage Box.
In the back hall and under the
stairs is a large box. Any article not
absolutely needed for daily use and
| which is left lying about and is not
properly put away goes into this rum
mage box until Saturday. The person
who spies the article first when 1t Is
left around Is entitled to put it in the
box. BY the box are a pad and pencil.
The person putting the article in the
box writes his or her own name on a
piece Of paper and puts it with the
article When the box is opened and
the things distributed on Saturday
morning the one whose name Is on the
article is paid a nickel by the owner
Of 1t. 1t is only by doubling the re-
ward that a child can get anything
from the box before the stated time.
Wearing Apparel.
BY the box is another pad. and
when things must be used immedt-
ately the person who puts another's 8
hat, cap, overcoat or such a thing
away, writes down what 1t was, to
whom it belonged and his or her name
and the date. A nickel is the reward
for this help in keeping things tidy
and the money is paid by the one to
whom the article belongs.
Reciprocal Plan.
The parents did the clearing up and
the putting of the things away at first
and the children paid them when the
box was opened or the things put
away. But they concluded that it
was wiser to include all the family in
the plan and make it reciprocal. 1t
has worked like charm. When one
of the boys objected and said he
wouldn't pay, the father said: That's
quite all right. You need not pay,

the others to have you get an allow.
