postoff1ce, and general store.
One school is maintained in the
village with four nuns as inStruC-
tors. But the art of modern love-
making and advice as to how to be-
come popular f1appers and flaming
Lotharios has no part in the curri-
culum. Instead the children are
taught two languages and the arts
of the profession which they think
they want to follow.
Each year sees the population of
the settlement dwindle. Some of
the homes are now empty but they
still maintain their architectural
beauty.

amount of soda to neutralize it and
enough baking powder will be need
ed to leaven the mixture. An eighth

The best way to use soda in a

There is almost certain to be
sour milk on hand during the hot
weather. The first thing that comes
to mind is cottage cheese, but
when there's only one cup or less
and there's baking to do the most
satisfactory way 70 save the milk
is to use it in cakes or cookies.
Although many women hesitate
to use sour milk and soda in baking.
it is a simple thing to substitute sour
milk for sweet milk in any recipe.
The easiest rule to follow is to
use one-half teaspoon OF soda for
one cup of sour milk and omit one
teaspoon of cream of tartar or two
teaspoons of baking powder from
the recipe.
Baking soda by itself is not to
be recommended as a leaven, al
though it often is used alone in
making ginger bread and spice cake.

Men Should
K ReOOIt and
End Tax
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
I often marvel at the long suffer-
ing of American men. The express
sions upon some faces when the
owner redeems his belongings from
the hat check girl are both funny
and touching. The poor babies seem
enmeshed in some intricate tangle
of circumstance from which they
appear entirely powerless to eXtri-
cate themselves.
What would happen to the far
seeing high-class hotel or restau-
rant man who provided a checking
stand at the expense of the bust
ness? He'd probably get rich. He
might have monument erected to
his memory. Certainly he could
qualify as a benefactor to his race.
There is something decidedly up
setting to the temper at the sight
of a meek maiden standing on
guard before her rack, taking dimes
and quarters from strong men who
already have paid about twice too
much for a meal.
Goes to Wrong Place
This is especially true when we
consider that most of these maidenS
get a very naeager salary themselves,
while the bulk of that money goes
to some man who has bought the
concession and who probably needs
it much less than you do yourself.
About the ninetieth time a Wom-
an had to dole out her dimes for
nothing like that, she'd begin a.
movement and she'd put over her
reform, to. It's these sinple-naind
ed. easy men who keep such asinine
things going.
The idea of a respectable hotel
that forever is prating about its ex-
cellent service, making its patrons
pay for their hats after every meal;
The thing is ridiculous and against
all the ethics of service.
Should End Imposition
If men had any assertiveness,
they'd band together, march right
into the dining room, and wear
their hats during the meal. The
one thing certainly would be no
more barbarous than the other.
It's strange what towards we are,
after all. Men who will fight for
their principles, who can invent ma
chinery and lighting systems and
radios, and build skyscrapers and
bridges and tunnels, neekly buy
back their hats over and over and
over again, sometimes as often as
three times a day. And though they
protest, they do nothing at all about
it.
How gallant they are, our nice,
helpless men. They relinquish their
hats out of Difference to the gentle
ness of our lovely sex, and then buy
them back because they are afraid
of the hat girl.

- YOUR CHILDREN -
Let EN- Think
as They Want
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"oh, Roger, just look at your
hands! What will Grandma think
when she comes and finds such a
dirty boy2"
"Oh. goodness. Roger, you've
broken the knife Aunt Jane gave
youl What will she think when
she finds out about it?'
Won't Daddy think you're a
naughty boy. though, when he
sees the way you've scratched the
front door with your tricyclel"
THE neighbors will think you
are a big cry-baby If you yell like
that"
Won't people think you look nice
in your new suit"
It's Old to Roger
What a smart boy everybody will
think you are when you tell them
you've learned how to swim"
All that and more OF it is what
Rogers hears every day.
What will people think if you
don't get a new suit, Jim?" says
Rogers mother to his father, What
will the Smiths think when they
hear we've got a new carp"
People think this. people think
that It's the creed young Roger
has been brought up on since his
bottle days.
Now that he has thoroughly i'm
bibed it he is learning to do little
think for himself But 1t falls
right in the line of his training. If
he thinks people will like what he
does, he goes ahead and does 1t.
But if he's afraid they might dlsap-
prove, he doesn't.
Half the time he is undecided,
perplexed and doesn't know what to
do. He is becoming self-conscious
and hercely sensitive. He imagines
every one is watching hinl-and
thinking" something, ready to sneer
or ieer if it isn't quite to their
liking.
Tries TO Curry Favor
Hes learned the detestable art Of
ingratiating himself with others.
He is trying to curry favor. He
wants people to like him, to ap-
prove. He'd DO almost anything so
every one will think he's fine fel-
low.
Poor Roger! He's losing his own
sense Of right and wrong hopelessly.
It Is going to follow him through
his entire life, very likely, poor
child. Every move he makes will be
influenced by that tyrant, opinion.
What will every one think?
He will become nervous. 1nefTt-
cient, and temperamentally un-
stable. It is wearing business, this
keeping an eye peeled to discover
how people ere going to like the
thing we're doing.
Progress Retarded
Will he ever be able to go ahead
without consulting his fetish? 1t
isn't very likely.
Now to a certain extent we must
hearken to opinion. Social, economic
and political law are based on what
the majority think. But that is
not the question here.
Each Of us must live his own life.
Outside our duties as citizens We
have duties to ourselves. The first
duty we owe ourselves is to beware
Of an exaggerated fear of opinion.
Certainly We want peoples re-
spect, but our sense of right and
wrong must be developed within
ourselves.
As a matter Of fact, people are
rot nearly as interested in us as we
think they are. anyway.
