The Yanks have blown so complete
ly that they are playing well ahead
Of their July speed Of any year since
1925, and, with nothing in particular
to heat. they would be riding out in
front under an exercise boy by this
time.
They simply have made the
immeFnOriaI m istake Of all
human kind. They have over.
matched themselves.
Due to be licked at even weights,
they have staked one of the great
ball clubs of the ages, the Philadel-
phia Athletics, to a a10-game lead and,
IL they find themselves tangle-foot-
Ing around in a situation like that,
it only means that Providence stili
is dealing the deck.
The Yanks, winning two in row
from the Tigers yesterday, ran their
luck into 10 victories in the last 70
games for a percentage Of .76O.
That's moving faster than q
fIy-by.night promoter, yet they
have looked the part Of an Ice
wagon coming homo from . hard
tIay outside the shop OF Mr..
Sweeney, the popular barber.
Why?@ Because, good as they are,
1t happens that they are being
paced by a club that is better,
much better. admit that Ruth
has been a sick man, that Meusel
and Gehrig somehow can't hit the
ground with a handful Of confetti,
that Pennock isn't the man he
was and that Hoyt has lost every.
thing except his appetite since
June 26.
But having conceded all OF
this, 1 fail to see where 1t
proves anything on club that
moves at q .76O pace through
the month just concluded.
1t simply means that, in all the
maudlin hysteria over the supposed
death of q great club, that another
and perhaps better one has risen ir

VEGETABLE
DISH

WHETHER the dinner you want
w to serve Is a formal affair
with softly lighted candles and OBJ
sequious footmen, or whether 1t
is a simple little meal arranged
in such a clever manner that you
do all the serving yourself, the
sum total Of its effectiveness will
be increased If every appointment
is as perfect as it is possible for
you to have it.
Candlelight and exotic flowers
are sophisticated; sterling service
plates mark the elegante. and the
prudent hostess is revealed in a
judicious investment in sterling
vegetable dishes. The Russian
service, which is used by smart
women all over the country, pro.
Vides that no dish containing food
be set on the table at any time.
After the course has beer passed,
the dish is either returned to the
serving pantry or. in the intimate
dinner. is put on the serving table
and passed again later. Even for
the hostess who manages without
a servant, the serving dish may be
set on a teacart or small stand
near the table.
The covered vegetable dish
which costs from $75 up is favored
by some women who insist upon
their food being kept steaming
hot without being returned to the
kitchen. Such a dish has the
advantage of two dishes as the
cover may be used as a single
container also.
The divided vegetable dish is
expedient in many homes where
small portions of several vege-
tables are to be served. These
are about SIS. an absurdly low
cost considering the large re-
turns in beauty and utility which
they give. Since the advent of
the divided vegetable dish. the
round vegetable dish. has become
popular. This is also useful
howl for salads, desserts. or as a
sterling silver centerpiece for
flowers.

Interesting Treatment for Child's Room

. to her small friends. telling them
the story of the ride or the birth
day cake. or the tram journey, or
the advent of the new doll into
her family.
1t is an idea which will give
small child many interesting
hours. If you do not own your
home. l think it could even be
carried out in an apartment with
out damage to the walls. Two
plain strips of wood could be
carefully put at the side of one
wall, the small holes filled with
putty and quickly revarnished
upon moving, leaving no scars
nor damage to the room. The
grooves are easier to fit pictures
into, but not necessary. If the
boards are put up with very few
nails or screws there will be play
enough to allow the insertion of
cardboard strips, and your child
will derive enough pleasure and
education from the activity to
compensate for your small out
lay OF time and material.
After the pictures had been
pasted on, the cards were in

planned that it had been Fathers

picture of a bag of golf clubs and
golf balls, showing what Father
had received for birthday gift.
A ride out into the country was
shown on the big cards in pic
lures of green meadows, cows,
horses. grain growing and lovely
print of colored apple blossoms.
What do you do with the cards

making monthly scrap books, holes

of the month or so previous. She
also enjoyed hugely showing them

THOUGHT AND
ACTION
BY Sara Strong:

YOUR circumstances reflect
L your thought, just as your
clothes reflect your taste; environ
ment is a plastic thing, which,
within reasonable bounds, may be
nodded to whatever form you
choose,
You cannot be overwhelmed by
environment This Is the cry Of
failure, circumstances were too
much for me-I could not cope
with them" And this failure,
oddly enough. is not effect. but
cause; instead of being what II
appears at first glance. an objec-
tive condition. it actually is sub
jective and exists in the mind.
1t is not wrong set of cir
cumstances-not in the beginning,
at least-it is wrong set of
thoughts. 1t is the failure to
think right.
All things come into being as
images in the mind before they
are externalized as objects. The
tallest building. the most spec
tacular bridge, the greatest ocean
liner-all were thoughts in some
body's mind before they were re-
flected, through long processes of
associated thoughts, in objects
tangible to the senses.
Every action is a thought be-
fore it becomes an action, every
circumstance. every phase of en-
vironment existed first in mind
before it appeared to sight and
hearing and touch.
If you understand this, you will
find 1t simple matter to control
your circumstances by controlling
your thoughts. Not so simple-to
control thought-but a thing you
can learn. One which develops it.
self, adding ability and strength
to itself as you struggle day by
day for mastery of yourself, the
only being or thing you ever are
required to master.
Think constructive thoughts
refuse those which tear down and
destroy-and you will find life
about you progressing, growing
constructively.
Think hopeful thoughts, those

others, and failure will vanish
from your experience.

to have met you," or, "I am so
very glad to have met you?
However, there are other forms
which perhaps for you would be
easier to say: II am so happy to
have met you," or, 1T has been a
great pleasure to have met you,"
or, "It has given me great pleas

son using the name must be very
sure that he or she has caught

Then, too. there is the addition
of some comment that is especial

the person or to the circumstance
of the meeting, or to some mutual
interest or enthusiasm: Il can't

Girls may work at home-many
are needed in their homes. Or
out in the wide, wide world they
run typewriters, add up columns
of figures. teach, practice law or
medicine. act, paint, dance. sell
bonds, take up clerical work, go
into advertising. run a garage,
manage tea room, raise chickens,
cultivate a farm.
Regardless of what line of work
a girl takes up, however you may
be sure that deep down in her
heart her hope and dream is to
marry happily. What effect will
her business experience have on
her chances with Dan Cupid? VIII
a job prove handicap"
Before answering these Ques-
tions, may 1 offer a few sugges-
tions, very humbly, to Miss Busi-
ness Girl of 1929, as to how she
can best find and hold a position
and progress to the goa! of her
ambition?
After you leave schoo! you may
be obliged for financial reasons,
to take the first job that offers.
If, after fair trial. you do not
like it. make an effort to get
more congenial work, preparing
yourself if necessary, at night
school or by home reading and
study. Work over which you are
enthusiastic counts for health,
happiness and success and will
make you a more radiant person
atty.
NY friend Anne loves to cook
and wanted to learn restaurant
work, beginning as waitress to
gain practical experience. Her
parents, feeling that teaching
would lift her higher in the social
scale, persuaded her to take a
teachers course and succeeded in
making a mediocre teacher out or
girl who might have made
tremendous success as manage
or proprietor of a tearoom, put
ting her whole soul into her work.
Finally, just to escape teaching,
Anne married man who bored
her, and has Joined the ranks of
restless wives.
A girl who Is doing work she
loves will not marry man she
does not love- And she Is likely
; to think things over thoroughly
before she marries. The result
should be and generally is, ro-
nance that endures and laughs at
divorce courts.
The danger, Of course, when a
girl is absorbed in her work, is
that she may postpone marriage
and possibly miss it altogether.
You cannot afford to miss life's
finest gift. So keep in your head
the fact that you intend to marry
the right man-and for keeps.
Then when you fall. seriously in
love and your heart and head
alike approve, sacrifice ambition
for love, if need be. You may be
able to manage both career and

ut is better" said a great
writer, ito go down on the great
seas which human hearts were
made to sail, than to rot at the
wharves in ignoble anchorage"
1t is better to be hurt seventy

it all one loyal friend than to
repudiate friendship and save the
heart from scars.
Friendship closes its eyes
rather than see the moon eclipsed,

thinker.
The wrong is not wholly with
those who have seemed to abuse
friendship. Did the one who has
been hurt expect perfection? Did
he turn bitter upon discovering
that friends are only human after
all, with all sorts of faults and
failings?
Was he unable to forgive as he
would be forgiven? Could he ex-
pect from others what he would
not offer himself?

An ingenious mother of a four.
year-old child showed me a nurs-
cry the other day in which was
incorporated an idea so interest
ing that l feel 1t is worth pass
ing on to other mothers.
The little girls room was
papered in a light tan color, and
on one side at about three and a
half feet above the floor ran a
strip of wood with a groove
opening up. About 10 inches
above this was another strip with
q groove faced down.
"What is that for?" replied the
little girl in answer to my ques-
ton. "Oh, that's our story book
strip" And so it was.
The mother saved all the card
board strips which came from the
laundry inside the fathers shirts.
