EDUCATION ALONG PUBLIC SAFETY
LINES BEGINNING TO HAVE EFFECT

unremitting effort to educate every
citizen will make it possible to keep
up the good work. Harding said.
Recently, Harding said, while rid
ing with other passengers in an
automobile he noticed that the
driver, upon approaching grade
crossings, appeared not to notice
whether . train was approaching.
when his attention was called to
the potential danger which exists
ct every railroad grade crossing,
the driver remarked that he knew
when the trains operated over the
line and i WAS not necessary for
him to look" Harding said.

Schools For
 Marriage Idea
How to Pick a Husband
 Might Be Taught.

eff public schools took the respon- How to Pick Husband fewer marriages would go on the rocks.
 That is one cure for the marriage divorce problem, suggested by Mary Hickey, specialist in patching up marriages in one of New Works big best domestic relations courts.
 Pet dogs have their pedigrees es- tablished and new houses have their titles searched. But husbands are taken on faith" she complained.
 When I started this work years ago l was shocked to hear a woman say she married her husband after three weeks acquaintance. Now it is nothing to hear a blonde waitress admit she waited on a good looking guy at lunch and married him that same night. They heard each others s names the first time when the justice of the peace pronounced them man and wife.
 "The public schools at least could teach girls to give as much time and attention to deciding on their huss bands as it takes them, say, to pick a hat.
 Schools concentrate on every known subject under the sun but the most important thing in a woman's life-marriage l really think some thing should be done to start mar riage courses"

U. 5. Woman
 Given a Degree
Gets Ph. D. From the Sar-
 bonne In Paris.

Paris, Aug. 16 R-To win the de- gree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Paris is considered quite an achievement for . woman.
 The degree has just been award ed with the highest honors to Miss Anna Heydecker. of the romance language department of Coe Col lege. Iowa.
 The subject of Miss Heydecker's thesis was Jean Amos Comenius. his life and educational work" The professors to whom 1t was submit ted considered it of great import ance in French research.
 Asked why she selected Comeni- us as the subject. Miss Heydecker explained that he was faced in the seventeenth century with post war problems similar to those which confront the world of education to- day.
 Miss Heydecker believes that Americans should be impressed with the importance of learning foreign languages. She herself has mastered i've, English. French, Ger man, Italian and Spanish. She taught languages at Beaver and Westminster colleges in Pennsyl- vania before going to Coe. Cooperation cannot fail to ex- ist between nations that under. stand one another's language" she says. ''The knowledge of foreign languages is essential in the pro. motion of good feeling between peo. ples."

Tablet Marks
 Famous Place
Where Uncle Toms Death
 Was EnviSi0ned.

Brunswick. Me. Aug, 16 Rt- The memory of Harriet Beecher Stowe has been honored by the Topshanl- Brunswick chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion by the placing of tablet on Pew 23 of the ancient First IS.ptist church. It bears this inscription: HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
 Author of Uncle Toms Cabin
 occupied this pew while wor-
 shipping in this church
 1S50-1S52
 Here she saw as in vision the
 death of Uncle Tom.
 Placed by Topsham- Brunswick
 Chapter Daughters of the
 American Revolution 1928.
 This First Parish Church has been identified with Bowdoin col lege since its founding, and it was that institution that had called Mrs. Stoves husband to Brunswick. Distinguished sons of the college. as teachers and students, have at- tended service here.
 A tablet in the pulpit records that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had read his poem, Morituri Salutamus, her on the 18th anniversary of his class.
 Seventy-seven years ago, it is re- lated, Harriet Beecher Stowe came into the church for communion service. It seemed to her that sud- denly. like the unfolding of scroll, she saw the death of the old slave in the book she was writing. At the same time there came an over whelming impression that she heard the voice of Jesus speaking to her:
 ''Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my breth- ren, ye have done it unto me"
 It was as if God were speaking to her through the lips of the old slave, she felt. That afternoon she wrote out the vision that had come to her while sitting in Pew 23 and thus inscribed one of the most im- pressive passages in the novel.

Indian Girls
 Have Lessons
Taught Home Making of
 Useful Type.

Washington. Aug. 16 R-An out door oven made of hard baked mud and modified papoose board. sym bols of native Indian civilization, have been adapted by teachers of home economics in the government Indian schools.
 Miss Edna Groves, head of the home economies instruction in the Indian bureau, who is in the Wash ington office for the summer, ex- plained the work as 1t has pro- gressed during the five years of her supervision.
 In the governments effort to make the domestic vocational in struction practicable for the young Indian girls who have to leave the white mans schools and return to their reservation homes. tribal con- ditions of the reservations are re- produced in the school laboratories as closely as possible.
 I've are always just one lap ahead of them" explained Miss Groves. We use the same essen- tials that the girls will be forced to use when they go home, and yet we modify them for the good as much as possible.
 "For example, we use the crude outdoor ovens that are common among the Zunis and other south- west tribes. but we teach them to use pans for their bread instead of placing the dough directly upon the mud floor of the oven.
 "In time. of course, the outdoor oven will be thing of the past among all tribes, but at present many use it and we have to recog- nize that fact"
 The practice cottages, instead oi being reproductions of neat, con- | venient American bungalows in use in home economies school for white girls, are copies of the best homes in which the girls tribal relatives live.
 "The youngsters who enter these home economies classes show real appreciation and a keen interest to learn all the kitchen tricks of the white woman," Miss Groves says And their interest doesn't stol with the culinary art. either. A&t of them have absorbed many Of the ] fundamental principles of child care

 No, it will just have to be shortened a bit"

 Medical Association and of
 Hygeia. the Health Magazine
 Life in the open is pleasant in the with hazards of which few people know and which are disastrous un- less carefully considered.
 In considering preparations for safe camping, Dr. Walter M. Dickie of the California State Board of Health points out two of the most useful tools that camper can carry are spade and an aX, and the spade is the more useful of the two.
 A spade permits the digging of of the camp site. It is useful for camp site. It is useful for burying all remnants of food, empty tin cans or bottles, and body waste. It helps get rid of camp garbage which at tracts flies and insects.
 Burying Waste
 In the disposal of waste by the use of the spade, they should be buried at least 25 feet from any stream or body of water and should be buried deep enough so that they cannot be dup up by animals or got ten at by insects.
 A spade is also useful in putting out permanently camp fires which may set fire to fields and forests. If every camp fire would be buried properly under six or eight inches of dirt, vast sums of money and many lives would be saved that are lost today by forest fires.
 One of the worst nuisances in any camp is the insect pest, and of all the insect pests flies and mosquit- oes are worst. The camper should protect himself against such insects This he will do by the use of proper screening or netting and by proper sanitation of camp surroundings particularly if he is concerned with permanent camp.
 Relieving Irritation | In most of our states malaria if not frequent. No doubt. danger o1 the mosquito bite today is primarily the irritation and the secondary in- lection that sometimes follows through scratching.
 The irritation is relieved by 6 weak solution of camphor or men. thol, which physicians prescribe mixed with suitable lotions.

Chatterer took one more hurried look over his shoul- der. Then he lowered his tail. ran the length of that little log and, from the other end, made a flying leap for the shore. And just as he leaped Redtail swooped for him. Copyright. 1928. by T. W. Burgess)

 did not have to wait but the fraction of a minute for the answer to my mental query concerning Lil- nan's knowledge of her young daughters subterfuge. And. indeed. it was absurd of me to have asked it. I told myself. when l knew 70 well the keenness of my old triJld's 5 perceptions. Her sense of justice Is as clear as her powers Of observa- ton, and l was not surprised 10 hear her voice, brisk and inclslve, in an- swer to Marions' assertion that she would not be able to finish her shopping trip in time to take the train back home.
 That will be very unfortunate, II true, Marion,' she said, and there was that in her voice which re- minded me of falling icicles. "f'or we are going to be at the Thirty fourth Street door at four o'clock, and if your suit and hat and shoes and gloves are not selected by then, YOU will have to wear your last Springs outfit up to school. l have decided that We cannot spend any more time, for from the way things have gone this afternoon, you would be just as undecided ii We spent 6 week here as an hour. I've never known you to be so uncertain before l think you need to have your mother decide for you, don't you?"
 Her voice had softened and there was a smile on her lips as she fin- ished. That has been Lillian'S way Of disciplining her daughter since her infancy, a swift. effectual "smacking" mental or physical, and then an equally quick forgivene ss and smile. making it easy for the child to capitulate.
 Marion is naturally a most docile daughter and her love for her mother approaches idolatry. Also l guessed that her conscience was making itself heard. At any rate, she returned her mothers smile with a reluctant II guess that's what l need" adding a comment, however, which I mentally echoed.
 But how we're ever going to do it all in an hour, I don't see"
