every one who sees in the betterment
of the years of Childhood an oppor-
tunity for the betterment of the race.
If you did not read that story last
month, we hope that you will try to
secure an April Good Housekeeping"
and read it now. 1t is an inspiration
to all of us-how Belgium, torn and
bleeding, trampled underfoot by a
ruthless invader, took stock of her
children and decided that if they
could be saved the country would
still have a future. And so the bet
terment of childhood became the pas
sion of a country that had not hesi-
tated to offer its manhood as a sacri-
fee on the altar of right. And Bel
GUM is coming through, bravely,
spiritedly, hopefully. Perhaps we
have no such incentive as Belgium
had, but none the less is our future
tied up in our children, who, please
God, will never know the sights and
sounds, the devastation and the hor-
ror that the children of Belgium
knew. And yet they need our care,
our wise solicitude, our careful PLAN
ming for their future. May Day has
been set aside as their day, and we
hope that on that day the. "Child's
Bill of Rights" will be pondered over
in all America. Here is that bill, as
Herbert Hoover, who did SO much for
Belgium's children, conceived it.
Said he: "The ideal to which we
should strive is that there shall be
no child in America that has not been
born under proper conditions; that
does not live in hygienic surround
ings; that ever suffers from under
nourishment; that does not have
prompt and efficient medical atten-
ton and inspection; that does not re-
ceive primary instruction in the ele-
ments of hygiene and good health;
that has not the complete birthright
of sound mind in sound body;
that has not the encouragement to ex-
press in fullest measure the spirit
within which is the final endowment
of every human being."-Good House
keeping.

Atmosphere.
DR.. Roy L. Smith

Life's mightiest forces are the in
tangibles. Engineers lay out town,
but the people who live in it create
its spirit" The Quarter-master's
corps feeds the army, but it's morale"
is spiritual something which comes
out of the hearts of the men. Car
penters build a house, but the home
makers themselves provide it's atmos-
phere, which does more to make it
home than the furniture or the
house itself.
Occasionally I visit house in our
town that is beautifully furnished
expensive rugs cover the floors, ex-
quisite etchings and paintings adorn
the walls, and every piece of furni-
ture has been chosen to please the
eye of sensitive artist.
The place lacks nothing but atmos-
phere!
There is an air about that home
as clean and cold as the steel en-
cravings that hang on the bedroom
walls. 1 grow lonesome for the sight
of little ragged doll sprawled out
somewhere in the middle of one of
those big rugs, or a boys school
books thrown down helter-skelter on
the broad window seat.
Atmosphere is a spiritual something
"a blending of kindness, patience.
good humor, love, faith, optimism and
self-forgetfulness. Creating an air
of cheerfulness and contentment about
a home is as fine a bit of artistry as
knowing how to combine colors to get
the right effects.
Blessed is the home that has real
"home atmosphere"
