THE AIRPLANES LIMIT

In discussing the world grdling feat Of Wells and
Evans it is usual to compare their venture with other
record makers. 1t ought to be noted, however, that
they completed their trip in very much less time than
the American avators who flew all the way.
1t was use of the airplane in certain places that
enabled Evans and Wells to make their fine record.
But it also of older slower and surer modes
of travel that insured their The arplane is
not yet wholly reliable for travel in all parts of the
world 1t has certain needs and pers which limit its
usefulness, for the present at any rate, and make
steamships and railroad trains necessary.

Our Future :?
(By A. G. Beaulieu)

In view OF pending legislation in
the present session of Congress-
which provides for complete eman.
cipation of a certain class OF
Minnesota Chippewa Indians, and
the fact that citizenship has been
conferred upon the Indians of the
United States, the parents who
have children attending district
schools, and other schools as we'll,
should awaken to q realization OF
the fact that they have a serious
responsibility to assume.
The recent low attendance in
onr local district school was largely
due to economic conditions and
sickness, but with relief in sight
we must start anew with fresh de
termination to shoulder this re.
sponsibility, which is required OF
US by law, and exercise the duty
We owe our children. We cannot
get away from this ousib:lity
and it behooves each and every
one of Us to take advantage OF
this opportunity that lies in our
path and see to it that our children
receive an education which is so
essential in this age. Every effort
should be made to keep the child
rep in school despite our environ.
ments less we rue our mistake in
the future. -
Statisticians inform US that the
great crime waves of our couptry
are largely due to the Iaxity Of
the parents in 'disciplining, train
ing or educating their children, at
home, to these habits of self-con-
troll, self-mastery and self.direc.
ton is the only effective protection
to society against lawbrerking.
Parents should interest themselves
in the education of their children
and CO. operate with their schools
in every way possible, especially
in trying to keep up regular at
tendance and avoid against tardi.
ness. The school can well be de.
pended upon to do its part.
The state does not take the
children out of the control of the
parents. And it does not direct
the whole mental development of
the child. The teacher and the
preacher are not in their respec.
tive roles because of their own
financial gainl or compensation,
but because of their interest in
mankind and posterity. And,
although they are interested in
the intellectual and spiritual well
fare of your child, yet after all is
said and done, they are merely
your paid servants and helpers,
and you yourself who have the
child under your influence for the
greater and most important vital
part of their lives, are responsible
for the child's whole mental and
physical welfare and you must
answer to society for the place
your child fills. - g.. -.... :. :
The home should mold the char
acter-the public can only broaden
its ideals, and thus the response
bility lies with US to do our duty
to our child and cooperate with
our schools in the education Of
our children so that they will
in the future stand out as credit
to our efforts in fulfilling our
responsibility. r.. x

Your Baby and Mine
Disfguring Birthmarks.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

1t is a matter for great SORROW when
a mother finds her bapy's perfect skin
marred by Il disf1guring red mark.
She feels herself in some way to blame
for these marks, superstition having
long ago convinced her that some
fright is responsible for them. We
know now that the thoughts of the
mother have no influence whatever on
her baby's growth and that these
marks are merely due to some NAL
formation of the tiny veins, or capil-
laries in the skin, which causes them
to unite and thus form solid red sur
face, rather than being separated and
inconsoicuous.
When II is the case of A tiny red
mark or head or face land have YOU
ever noticed how frequently these
and no other place, and especially
right at the base Of skull?), it is best
to let them alone. They may disap-
pear Of themselves or else grow up
out of sight into the hair line.
Some mothers are distressed at find-
ing these marks on the baby's arms or
legs and wonder what should be done
about them. Unless they In any way
cause discomfort and protrude above
the skin. they are best left alone. They
are not noticeable and so need not be
tampered with.
When the marks are on the face, 1t
is right that. If possible. they should
be removed. as they cause the grow
ing child sorrow and embarrassment.
There are various ways of removing
such marks. but the particular way
should be chosen by the doctor who Is
delegated to remove them. He may
use the electric needle or carbon di-
oxide snow, both of which have been
found to be effective.
Al present there Is no known cause
for these red marks. but Of one thing
we are certain--it is only the active
ina gination and superstition of the
mother which sees In them any re-
semhlance to animal or whatnot, by
which she has been frightened.

BEAUTY CHATS
Ugly Finger Nails.

Well cared for finger nails cannot
possibly be ugly, for every time they
are manicured their shape can be i'm
proved. The ideal finger nail Is long
and slender. showing quite Il bit of the
pearly-white moon" at the top, and
curving deeply at each side. The cuti-
Gle around the nail is smooth and pink
and the actual tip of the nail is a
clear white where it projects from the
skin. No matter how ugly the nails
are naturally, this ideal is possible
for every one.
The nails can be made longer by fill
ing them to moderately long pointed
oval. They can be made still longer
by pressing back the cuticle each day
with blunt orangewood stick. If you
will do this you will find in a few
months that the nails actually are
longer. The difference is the merest
fraction Of an inch. but the improve
ment in appearance is enormous. This
constant use of the orangewood stick
to press hack the cuticle will give the
size Of the nails that deep-set look
which is so fashionable.
