T|GER'S NOTE

The now famous "open letter, "
sent by George Clemenceau, former
premier of France, to President
Coolidge. may prove diplomatic
boomerang to his nation by paving
the way to rejection of the French
debt settlement by the American
Congress. 1t was widely rumOred
here today in official circles.
Congressional opposition to the
French pact, strong at all times,
has seized upon CIemenceau's atti-
tude as indicating official French
ingratitude for the assistance
rendered that nation by the United
States after the war" and while
France was "bled white" as re
suit of her losses to Germany.

The faculties of magma ton and
construction are found in the wings

they are cooperative.
Construction would not be able to
get very far were it not for the fact
that it could call on imagination for

some ones imagination and inven-

Thus the mechanic imagines how
parts of his work will fit each other,

Your Baby and Mine

Mrs. s. G. writes: I want to feed
my coming baby exactly right and this
is my trouble. Ny mother said that

have never been sick day, not
even nauseated. \Will this make any
difference? I am terribly worried and
afraid. so much more so than l was
at first
Answer-It was quite usual in the
days of your mother to feed a baby st
any time. The reason we have such
gains in reducing infant mortality Is
that we now recognize that one of the
most important steps in child care is
absolute regularity in everything
feeding. sleeping, etc. Everything we
do during the day is the result of a
habit. We even think along the same
lines, after we have once begun to
think that way. 1t is easy to see then
that since our good health depends on
regular habits one must start them
with the baby. y
The fact that your cousins DaDy
is not gaining we'll has nothing to do
with the regularity of the nursing.
The baby would not gain any more.
perhaps even be sick, if fed any old
time at ALL The cause lies in the lack
of breast milk. The baby should be
given a complementary feeding after
each nursing until the breast milk
secretes sufficient so that this extra
feeding can be dropped.
With the help of modern science
child birth has been made so much
easier that one need not look forward
to it with horror and fear.

Managing Departments in Homes
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER,

The mana cement of a home Is lik-
ened to the management Of a compli
Gated business, because it has so many
departments, each one of which re-
quires skill to run efficiently. A house
wife, even if she does not do the ac-
tual work herself. Is expected to know
how it should be done in order to
direct the work properly. She may do
everything herself and then it Is what
is called "a man-siZed job" The term
is probably recognized as indicating
an absorbing task, because mans work
has, until within recent years, been
thought of as as the labor of value,
while that of home maker was light
ly esteemed.
1t has taken the present generation
to recognize the running Of q home as
a profession, and not as something
that required little skill. Formerly
woman, who ran a home well, was
just "a competent housewife" Today
she is recognized as this and more.
She is considered skilled in the science
of home management. One Of the
pleasant aspects of this recognition Is
that it comes from men as we'll as
from other women.
has to learn secrets of success in
home making. She knows that the es-
sentials must be accomplished, and
that this means the diminishing. of
things of lesser Importance. This
makes her ar expert in elimination,
not of things alone which may re-
quire more time than they are worth
to care for. but elimination of tasks.
Also she has to judge which are the
essentials to be done at the time, and
which can be let go until another day.
Doing the right thing at the wrong
time may upset the running of a
house as much as any other bit of
mismanagement. To stop to finish

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.


We're all rather apt to fall into the
habit OF looking backward, if we're not
careful.
The past looks so beautiful from
where we sit and survey it now. We
remember. with\ deep signs of regret,
happy times that are gone forever
delightful people whom we shall new
err meet again-a state of mind we can
never recapture. We fall into the
habit of thinking that nothing can
ever he as nice as 1t was once.
= We don't have to grow old and gray
to form this habit-lots of young girls
acquire it through an exaggerated
sense of self-pity.
They grow so sorry for themselves
over the present-its lack of excite
ment, it's dreary prospects, it's never
ending monotony, that they begin TO
invest the past with rosy glamour,
and once they've started doing that 1t
becomes very hard, indeed. for them
to recognize present happiness when
they find it.
The girl who remembers some par
ticular place. shall we say, as the
scene of her mSrriest times. will con-
vince herself that no other locality
can furnish the same enjoyment and
thrill. And so she will greet each
new experience with a certain amount
of pleasure. but always with the sad
thought: ITS nice, yes. but it couldn't
ever be as nice as it was in the old
days"
This practice of dwelling on the glo-
ries Of last year induce q dissatisfied
state of mind which emb.tters- the
whole course of existence. The girl
who signs forlornly over the gay
times she had last year isn't in the
mood to appreciate what fortune Of
fers her this year. She accepts il
grudgingly, mentally comparing it
with other days.
Next year the present year will be
a glorious memory. She will come to
the conclusion that she enjoyed her
self this year as Hever before, and she
will wish herself back In the past
again.
What can never happen again seems
beautiful to some of us sentimental
lists. because it is gone forever. If it
could be actually repeated, how few of
us would experience the past years
over which we pine and sorrow!
The daily exercise of wishing for
things that can't happen again Is de-
pressing and useless. 1t distorts our
vision, gives US wrong sense of
things, fills us with self-pity and
blinds Us to present possibilities.
When you're tempted to wall over
the present, reflect that next year this
apparently dreary present will be the
glorious past, and you'll be remem-
bering what a wonderful time you
had.
Seize, every new chance of happiness
with the firm conviction that it's the
best chance YOU ever had, that nei-
ther the past nor the future holds
any brighter happiness than what is
offered to you right now.
In that way you'll cultivate a happy
frame of mind-that frame of mind
will of itself attract happiness.

Thistles.

The thistle is the national flower
of Scotland, and a very puritanical
temperament it has. The true Scotch
thistle is very rare in this country
as a wild plant, but we have an
abundance of other kinds. 1t is rather
unpleasant of us to call one of them.
a small, very prickly species with
little purple heads, the Canada thistle,
as it is really European, but the name
has stuck and we blame the Canadi-
ans for it. The taller thistle. with
big purple heads, is commoner still,
and it, too. is European. Certainly
it is a handsome brute, but so Zero
cious that many States have 7egisla-
down. If you do not do this. the
State drives in a team at SIS a day
and mows down the thistle for you,
and YOU get the bill.
Then there is Russian thistle, which
is not thistle at all, but a prickly sort
of pigweed. 1t came to us from Sibe-
ria and has spread from the Western
States all the way to the Atlantic with
great speed. Its seeds are often in
cluded with flower seeds by careless
nurserymen. And we have the yellow
thistles, or SOW thistles, very beautiful
pestiferous creatures, and the prickly
lettuce, which holds its leave verti-
cally, generally pointing north and
south, and hence has earned the title
of compass plant.
Thistles love prairie countries best
of all, for there their wind tossed seeds
may sail hundreds of miles and their
tap roots burrow deep. And they love
grassland grazed by cattle and sheep,
because their prickly stems keep off
the browsing beasts while other plants
are eaten. Thus their competitors are
driven off, and little by little they
come into complete possession of the
field. especially as one thistle plant is
capable of producing thousands Of
others every year.
w. H. Hudson, the PataSonian nat
uralist. wrote a brilliant description Of
the thistle pest in Argentina on the
pampas. That thistle. Carduus mari
ana, was also q European waif, and
given free scope on the wind-swept,
browsed-over plains Of South America
IL soon took possession. There were
even thistle" years, generally very
dry ones, which were apparently favor
able to the development of thistles.
Then the weeds increased tenfold in
number and grew taller than mans
head
