OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri

means the measure of some degree Of
the growth Of your power, OF the rise
of your higher self, the one you expect
to live with the rest of your life and
expect to show to an admiring world.
That mark is important, because 1t Is
the symbol of your inner attitude. 1t
is the shadow Of your inner self.
Let me tell you what students have
done to help themselves toward the
better attitude, and. therefore, to a
fuller mastery of their work. They
have made program Of work, study
and play and have held to 1t as nearly
as possible. They have set aside so
many minutes for each study daily:
when the end Of the period set arrived
they stopped work for that day and
went on to the next subject. They
did not study one Subsection two hours
and another for two minutes.
If they found themselves overloaded
with work they were not frightened.
They looked the task over carefully,
found where they could save time, dis
tributed the time SO that each subject
was cared for and did one bit at a
time. They did not skip today's les
son in algebra and hope to make 1t up
some other time. Each lesson was done
on schedule time, the same time daily.
You don't grow in a squirt. You make
growth only when you keep at the task
day by day, in Titles. Five. 15-minute
lessons done at the same time daily
| is better method than one days work
Of an hour and quarter.
First, know that you can do your
work if you wish. Then wish honestly
to do SO. Then make your program
and stick to it. Keep faith with your
work and it will never fail you.
Mr.. Patri will be glad to- answer any

Repair Hints for Housewives
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

more acquainted with things me-
| chanical than it is logical that she
should be, but merely that she should
give attention to what lies easily WITHIN
| her field, such as the application OF
the oil can when and where needed.
the tightening of loosened strap on
a sewing machine and other such SIM
pie tasks.
Some slight acquaintance with the
expedients of keeping the kitchen drain
clear may relieve the necessity OF call
ing a plumber. When the drain Is
clogged. usually the best aid to clear
it is first to pour down boiling water in
which strong washing soda is dissolved,
after which suction should be created.
Sometimes this can be done merely by
pressing heavy dishcloth or other
cloth against the trap and suddenly
withdrawing it, There are rubber con-
trivances which can be purchased for
a small sum for this very purpose. II
such measures are ineffective the prob
ability is that something substantial
has become lodged across the pipe ana
will require the services of plumber.
Ten chances to one the trouble will be
relieved, however, by home care.
Tightening the strap on sewing ma
chine calls for a pair of tweezers, both
to open and close the metal piece that
is inserted to hold the leather; a hat
pin, No. / needle or old pair Of pointed
scissors to make the new hole and
knife to cut off small bit of the old
strap in order to shorten 1t. II you
cut the piece from only one side Of the
strap. it will be necessary only to make
one new hole, as the other one can still
function as before. Probably less than
a half inch of strap is all that should
be removed.
Carpet sweepers, vacuum cleaners and
washing machines can all be improved
in their service by the care which the
housewife gives them by oiling them,
seeing that they are free from hair or
lint which confines their action and
by keeping them as nearly as possible
like new. There are brushes for clean
ing typewriters and other mechanical
devices which have crooked handles
and long Shanks for getting at parts
difficult to reach.
If bureau drawers squeak, the I'M
pleasant sound and the annoyance OF
their sticking are quickly done away
with by an application of kitchen soap
to the surfaces of the drawer that
cause the friction. They will slide In
easily and noiselessly after such treat
ment.
Among the things which the house.
wife should have in her tool chest are
a monkey wrench, chiSel, coarse file,
hammer, nails (both long and Short),
small awl, screwdriver, screws, tack
litter, moulding hooks, picture wire,
small brushes for cleaning, and, If she
has electricity in her home. several
electric light fuses, an extra light
socket, etc. Besides this, she does well
to see that she has extra needles for
her machine, spare door key for a
guest and for precaution the key in

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September ~.
If the present fad Of going to natural
locations to make pictures keeps up,
moviegoerS will have something worth
while in scenery in the next six months.
The movie of tomorrow must offer
something different from yesterdays
entertainment. If it is to be the regu-
lation movie plus sound etfectS-some
OF the cynics persist in calling them
noise effectS"-it has to have more
than linen scenery and studio lighting.
1t has to compete with the all-talkie,
and all-talkies may not always be the
movies weren't too good. All inventions
improve.
George Fitzmaurice is taking a COM
pany to Hilo to make picture. 1t in
cludeS Milton Stills and Dorothy Mac
kali. AS I remember Hilo, with its
earth burned to black, glasslike de-
post from the heat of Kilauea, it should
furnish real camera material.
Its sugar cane plantations are like
seas of jade-green leaves. Tree ferns,
tropical vines and hedges OF wild fuch-
STA line the winding roads, with sud-
den glimpses of Japanese huts and
kimono boards with the national gar
ment fastened to them drying in the
sun.
Hilo is only four days away from us,
on the Pacific rim, but the Middle West
and the East do not find it so accessible.
Its geographical quality is different
from the South Sea group.
StdlI another picture made on the
grotind will be Trader Horns story Of
hiS-youth in Africa. Once more COM
pany will be sent half way across the
world for realism. Sound effects will be
used also-trumpeting of elephants,
roaring of wild beasts in the jungle. The
movie of tomorrow will be different
and in our moments Of optimism we
might even say better.

Your Working Attitude.

You are a high school pupil, work.
ing somewhere along the course be-
tween first grade Junior high and the
last grade of the high school. You
have your own troubles In some sub
jects you get good mark; in some
others a bare passing mark; in very
few you fail fatty. The work you like
is the work you get the good marks
in and the work you dislike is that
which puts the red-ink marks on your
card and brings troubles from all sides
What can you do about it? You can't
go on having failures. They are likely
to spread, because they breed discour-
agement and encouragement kills the
working spirit.
The best way to hold the balance
in the school program is to maintain
an attitude of hope and willingness
to work. Immediately the pupil who
is failing in any subject declares, Il
do work. work hard on that old book
and I can't get it into my head"
The moment you say, II can't get 1t
into my head" you explain your atti-
tude to the listener. Plainly you have
said, II don't want to make the effort
to master this subject. 1t takes a
hard driver to master it, and hate
to push myself to the doing of it."
InaCS WnaL mean by your att1-
tude. When you have difficulty,
when anything comes between you and
your desire, or your comfort, you pro-
tect yourself against it by saying. "Oh,
I can't do that. It isn't my strong
point"
Any intelligent child-and all high
school pupils are intelligent-can mas
ter every subject in the course with
sufficient power to take passing mark
if he wants to do so. You must make
yourself want to take that mark.
Think of how you will feel when you
fail. Remember that every mark

possible to get them much smaller. They
were made to set on table in a
kitchenette apartment, where one pound
of carrots, a pound or two Of apples and
turnips and half peck of potatoes
represented the vegetable purchases.
They came in various colors. If a
woman has a large supply Of vegetables
stored in the cellar she can keep few
days needs upstairs in her binet.
Another gift she considered was one
of the newer egg beaters which have
small enough beaters so that they will
go inside small bowl or cup. This let's

Do not beat candy Immediately

When a fire is slow in coming

Save the peels of oranges and

County Agent Notes

Information relative to securing
ShelterbeIt Paintings has just been
received from the State Extension
Department, regarding the distri-
button from the State Forestry De
paTtment.
In accordance with the Clarke
McNary Act, passed by congress in
1925, the State Nursery has been
established at Missoua, under the
supervision Of the Forestry School
of the University of Montana, in
cooperation with the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for The purpose
of propagatine trees for distribution
among Montana farmers and ranch
ers.
Distribution of such trees will be
made through the Extension Service
of the Montana State College. II
will be necessary to make a sma
charge for trees sent out to cove
the packing and other overhead ex
penses.
While this project was primarily
undertaken to stimulate tree plant
ing for shelterbelt and wood lot pur-
poses, it is hoped that it will lead
to a greater use OF ornamental shade
trees and shrubs, and the develop
ment of horticultural possibilities,
in those sections of the state where
practically no fruit is produced.

diti0n for planting.
There is limited supply. of shell

spring. Others who wish to take
advantage of the shelterbelt distri-
button should plan to summer fell

in which the shelterbelt is to be
planted.
10 Sheridan County, at the present
time, there are number of shelter
belts that have been received from
the Great Plains Station at Mandan,
NJ D. The shelterbelts have deyel-
oped very rapidly and have been
instrumental in making the farm
steads of this county very attrac.
tive. Each year there are FIVE
shelterbelts received from the Man.

those which may be received from
the Missoula Station, should make

No Ground For Doubt

Washington, D. C.-The discussion and
agitation with regard to the President s
Presidential intentions have served to
make ii clear 10 the average person that
no matter what phrasing he had adopted
in his announcements, there still would
have been quibblers, questioners and
doubling Thomases.
When on August End he announced
that he did not choose to run, the outcry
arose that he had used cryptic and am
bieuous form of phraseologv. When in
December he told the members of the Re-
publican National Committee that ne had
eliminated himself as a possibility. and
that it was his desire that they should at
once look elsewhere for candidate, the
whispering started anew that he was SIM
ply using another elusive phrase In short
it would seem this was another of those
cases that none are so deaf as those who
will not hear.
lnere mas never been any ground for
doubt (and there has never been any real
doubt) as to what the President meant
when he made his original declaration on
August second, which was to retire abso-
lutely and definitely from the Presidentis,
office; and there is no justification for any
surmise that he has ever wevered Those
who still talk of drafting him are really
paying poor compliment to the Presi-
dents sincerity and honesty.
