deliver it before the admiring congre-
cation of the giftless Mother purchased
the gift and had it arrayed for the oc-
casion. It is ONLY human for mother
to expect that the teacher will remem-
Der this kindness when the occasion de-
mands, say at promotion time, gradua-
ton, and the like.
All that is bad enough. but the worst
is TO come. There are always children
in the class who cannot make gifts.
They sit silently in their benches big
eyed and sad, while all the hub-dub of
presentation and thanks and admira-
ton goes on. They are wishing with
all their hearts that they could offer
the teacher something that would ex-
press all their pride and power and
riches. But when they asked their
mothers for present for the teachers
they said presents were impossible in
feed and clothe and shelter their chill
dren sufficiently to keep them at school.
Now children never understand pow
erty. They feel rich. When something
like this happens they are stunned and
hurt and all the color and JOY of life
departs. Children have enough pain to
bear without adding this unnecessary,
useless, meaningless difficulty
If you wish to give the teacher pres
reason in the world why you should not
do so. But the public school is not, in
my opinion. the place to do so. Send
the gift to the teachers home by mail
or messenger. Have the child deliver
it there personally, if that gives him
Joy. But do not use the school as the
occasion. The other children have the
right not to be subjected to humilia-
ton IN their classroom relations.
The teacher cannot well say. Chill
dren. bring me no presents" Many
teacher longs to do so. The board of
education ought to relieve the teachers
of any such embarrassment and make
bylaw that definitely forbids the teach
er accepting any gift presented by a
pupil within the school building. That
will let everybody enjoy himself and
save much trouble at home and abroad
for the children.

there is State inheritance tax in many
States. A Federal estate tax is the next

Quoted as well.
Unless there Is a will made out In

will shrink the estate in a still more
serious manner.
How may one best avoid shrinkage7
BY limiting administration expenses and
by avoiding administrative losses. A
trust company can best accomplish both
of these things. An estate that Is
quickly settled is saved good deal Of
money, and with a few executors who

with your husband and take steps to
avoid 1t. It is an unnecessary, wanton

Today in

October 81, 1S57.-"Who of the mas
culine gender" asks the Georgetown
correspondent of The Evening Star
today, that has occasion to ride in the
onnibuses but has at times his SYM
pathies thoroughly aroused in behalf of
those dear creatures who use eX-
traordinary expanders in their crinoline
arrangements, who are also compelled
at times to seek the same method of
Transportation see a lovely
woman'S head, shoulders and waist
forced through the doorway of an omni-
bus: and. as Jack would say, all the
after-leash of her sails hanging on the
outside and f1uttering in the wind on
frosty morning, and the dear creature
struggling, like a goose with its head
through a fence, to force an entrance!
1t is certainly more than gentleman
of anything like gallant spirit can en-
dure.
But what can he do but sit in silent
agony a witness of the struggle? To
lay hold and assist he knows would be
dangerous, as the application of addi-
tional force might carry away the rig
gtng Consequently he is compelled to
remain inactive, Notwithstanding such
course has every appearance OF I'M
politeneSs, until the eXpander of the
wind sail is sufficiently compressed into
an oblong to admit OF its passage
through the narrow doorway. When an
entrance is effected, it is somewhat
laughable to witness the movements of
gentlemen on the inside who are
troubled with anything like tenderness
about the boot tops, lest the ponderous
article i'll its sudden expansion should
come in contact.
"a circumstance of this kind occurred
a few days since, which elevated the
disabilities of the inmates of the onni-
bus a little above the mark of pro-
priety. A lady very fully circumnavi-
gated by the aforesaid crinoline ap-
pendages forced her way into one OF
the Union Line coaches drumming be-

and the pesky articles in their efforts
to regain their usual form were brought
in front in contact with the knees of
passenger, which caused the after
leash to make motion which came
very near bringing it in contact with
the nose of a gallant doctor sitting on
the seat in the rear.

however, saved his proboscis from dam
age and the lady took her seat in per-
feet composure But the poor doctor
blushed from his goatee to the margin
Of his hair.
For the purpose of preventing such
difficulties in the future we would sug--
gest to the gentlemanly proprietor Of
the Union Line to manifest his GAL

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

So many letters recently have asked
about how to handle the situation of
the selfish neighbor child without af-
fronting his mother) that one marVels
at the multitude and similarity of these
situations. This discussion specifically
answers Mrs. l. G. w. and Mrs. E. M
r., whose letters were substantially the
same.
In any neighborhood where small
children play together. one or more
children will be found who take adj
vantage of their playmates. What usu-
ally happens is something like this ::
Bobbys mother provides him with the
right kind of outdoor toys, SENDS him
out to play, and Immediately Michael,
who lives next door and POSSESSES no
toys, runs over grabs the wagon or
kiddy car and plays happily all morn
ing. resisting all Bobby'S efforts to get
his own toys back. If Bobby is amiable
he doesn't mind, but his mother al
ways doas. She seethes with indigna-
ton and then she faces this problem.
she tell his mother. and by so doing
become unfriendly? Shall she en-
courage Bobby to stand up for his
rights and cause a rumpus? We can't
blame her for being puzzled.
We must recognize some simple prin-
cipl2s of play. Children under four
years of age play alone, even though
in the company of some other child.
They are selfish because they haven't
had enough experience or aren't social
minded enough to be aware of the salts
faction gained from unselffishness. The
mother must show this to the child,
and she can be equally helpful to the
other child if she handles him in the
right way.
If the playmate is much older than
her child she will do better to Sepa-
rate them unless her own child reaches
an age when he can take care of
himself. 1t is useless to try to manage
a six-year-old and a two-year-old if
the Older child decides to monopolize
the younger child's toys. She has a
perfect right to suggest to her neighbor
that children of these ages do not
play well together and that is why
she is sending the SiX-year- old home.
If she finds the children satisfied
to play together, even if one seems to
be having more than his share of the
toys, leave them alone. Don't instill
selfishness into the child who isn't
conscious of his being made victim.
If Bobby wants his wagon and the
other child is deaf to his pleas, suggest
that Bobby pull Michael up the street
and Michael pull him back. or that
one play with the kiddy car for a
time, the other use the wagon and then
change about. Each must give the
other a chance, otherwise each will have
to stick to his own toys. Being fair
means letting the other child share his
toys, too. Do it all, not in a scolding
way, but suggestively.
If the visiting neighbor never has
toys of his own, it is better to talk
this over with his mother, suggesting
that Michael so enjoys a wagon that
he is inclined to deprive Bobby of its
use entirely. and perhaps it would be
better if both boys had wagons Frank
ness Is far better than burning with
indignation, hating the neighbor child,
who isn't to be blamed, and sowing
seeds of Selfishness in your own child.

A pound Of bread, scientists
tell US, furnishes as much energy
as a pound or more of lean meat
and two pounds of lean fish. And
since half the food we eat is used
for energy, it is easy to see what
marvellously inexpensive food
you have in a crisp golden brown
loaf of Rice's Bread. Of course
no one would think of entirely
substituting bread for meat but
it is interesting to figure the cost
of pound of steak or chops as
against a loaf of Rice's Bread
which gives the same energy fuel.
Rice's famous Split Top Loaf
is rich in both the fuel and build
ing materials the body constantly
needs. 1t is made with pure fresh
milk, double-strength yeast, deli
cate vegetable shortening, and
protein-high -four. Careful rising
and baking draws out all the
subtle essences which give deli
cious flavor and aroma to Rice's
Bread. 1t is so light and spongy
that almost every particle eaten
of the crisp, brown nutritious
loaf is used by the body.
Combined with small amount
of meat or cheese and a green
vegetable, Rice's Bread will give
child or grown-up a perfectly
balanced meal. The delicious
"home-baked" taste and fra

Why Do Estates Shrink?

Every estate shrinks at death, but
that shrinkage is not necessary, as we
shall show.
One fact is Of grave Importance to
many families. It is the fact that debts
eat up more small estates than any
other cause. 1t is a fact that the
smaller the estate the more likely 1t
is to be overburdened with debts.
An exhaustive research covering 1000
estates ranging in amount from $4,000
to S10000,000 brought out the fact that
average shrinkage in all estates is about
20 per cent.
Figures show that If your husband
leaves an estate of $4,000 it will shrink
to $1,000 unless your case is the excep-
ton to the rule. If he leaves an estate
of $4,000 your estate will probably
shrink to $500.
Estates ranging In amount from $780,
600 to S1,000,000 show an average
shrinkage of 20 per cent.
Now what causes the shrinkage? III
the case of the small estate we have
shown that debts cause more than half
of the shrinkage. Almost all of the
rest is covered by the item "administra-
ton" In other words. faulty manage
ment of ones estate costs nearly one
fifth of what one leaves.
On small and moderate sized estates
taxes add little to shrinkage. The first
deductions made from an estate are
final expenses and unpaid bills. Then

It was impossible to tell in advance
what the Emperor Franz Josef OF Aus
tria would do.
Once ne was a guest at presentation
in the private theater of the famous
Esterhazy family of Vienna. The Ester
hays delighted in theatricals and al
ways took part in these productions.
On this occasion a supper was served
in the first scene of the play Instead
of serving a stage supper-that is to say.
a sham one-the Esterhazys provided
a real feast. Huge pate de fois gras,
many other delicaciss and champagne
were included, and when the actors sat
down to table they began to eat In
earnest.
Now Franz Josef had an actual pas
sion for champagne. AS the actors sip

Watered, it was apparent that he was
tantalized by terrible thirst
When more champagne was brought
on and poured, he could stand 1t nc
longer
What! Champagne!" he exclaimed
"then must drink with you"
Upon this he scrambled upon The
stage. OF course that was the end OF
the play.
The Emperor was a great talker. He
loved to talk Sometimes it grew tire
some. Music was one means which
could be used to silence him.

READY FOR LUNCHES
-RICE'S SLICES

A first aid to appetizing lunch
boxes is a loaf of Rice's Slices.
The snowy, brown-crusted slices,
with their good, wheaty taste,
are every one of exactly the same
size and evenness. Cut by ma
chinery, they have to be uniform.
No crumbly, lop-sided sandwiches
if you use Rice's Slices! Very
few people can cut bread straight
in a hurry, it's especially diff
cult. So always have these even,
delicious slices on hand to make
lunches a JOY to the hungry.
Rice's Slices are wonderful for
toast. They fit in any toaster. No
burned toast because one side of
the slice is thinner than the other!
And they keep fresh. Just tuck
the waXed wrapper around the
cardboard container after taking
the slices out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-31

Golden-brown, hot, crisp, crun-
chy! That is the kind of toast you
can have every morning if you
choose your bread carefully.
Every slice of Rice's Bread
browns evenly to a picture-like
texture that tempts even a capri
cious early morning appetite. The
slow baking gives fine, even tex
ture to the slice. There are none
of those gaping holes in Rice's
Bread that allow butter or jam
to leak unexpectedly and discon-
certingly through.
The full, delicious flavor and
aroma tells you that Rice's is
made with fresh, rich milk. The
slow, even baking of the famous
Split Top Loaf makes thorough
ly wholesome and digestible loaf.
Notice the way Rice's always re-
tains its moisture inside, and it's
crustiness outside. Even the last
heel end of the loaf is appetizing,
delicious.

KEEPING BREAD AT IT'S BEST

On coming back Monday, her loaf
of Rice's "is just as fresh as
though it had just been bought"
Rice's Bread keeps fresh and
sweet because it is made from
flour carefully selected to hold
the moisture in the center of the
loaf. That is why users of Rice's
say it stays fresh longer than
any bread they know.
NEVER let crumbs or broken
pieces of bread accumulate in
your breadbox. Always gather
up crusts and broken pieces and
put them Immediately into a pan
in the oven and when dry, run
through the food chopper. Keep
these nutty Rice's crumbs in a
paper bag or ventilated jar, to
add flavor to many other foods.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-31

Bread is best kept in bread
box with wire shelves, to allow
the air to circulate freely around
each loaf. The box should be
scalded with boiling water once
a week, wiped very dry and
summed thoroughly.
Many housewives prefer to
leave the waxed wrapper on each
loaf, re-wrapping it after slices
have been taken off. If a loaf is
not all to be used Immediately,
cut the loaf at the center, instead
of at the end, and take slices off
each side of the middle. Then
press the two pieces together and
wrap in the waxed paper. One of
Rice's customers writes that when
she goes away for the weekend
she gets Rice's Bread on Friday.

Modern art is finding its way into
every nook and corner of our homes,
and wherever we find it we discover
an air of smartness, in spite of the
unfriendly feeling that was at first di-
rected toward it.
But now we welcome the various
accessories and furnishings created in
this style, and those who at first
scorned the idea of placing it among
their more conservative furnishings
find the lamps, shades and tables very
fascinating and, to their surprise,

Presents for Teacher.

Children delight in making gifts to
the teacher. It, for the time at least
raises them to the level with the person
who is so far above them all other days
in the year. 1t makes the child feel very
important and proud to carry dainty
package, be-ribboned and sealed and
wrapped with gorgeousness, but what
happens after that?
Perhaps the teacher is pleased.
Usually she is not. A teacher is the
last person in the world who should
be under obligations for value received
to those to whom he ministers and ad-
monishes. 1t is. very hard to be prop
erly severe with the naughty child who
has just handed you a gift. 1t is
difficult to administer evenhanded
justice to those who have brought gifts

Constipation is often the cause

in the diet is usually the cause
of constipation. Roughage is
