 "I will be in a minute" Dicky re- turned, T just have to run up to the studio a second. My bags are all ready, you sec"
 He waived a careless hand toward suitcase, bag, topcoat, hat and gloves in patent readiness for n journey. Mir. Underwood crossed the room and picked up the suitcase.
 'I'll collect the tip at the car door," he said. Come on girls, I'll get the car started and you seated comfortably by the time the Dicky- bird gets down. So long Ede. I'll date you up for the Winter when see you again.

 Washington, Jan. 24. RrHaving successfully run a happy home for 26 years and still considering that the height of woman's achieve- ment, Rep. Pearl Oldfield of Ar kansas now is resolutely turning her attention to farm relief. flood con- trol and other problems confront ing the Seventieth Congress. Mrs. Oldfield was elected to fill out the term of her husband. who died last November.
 With happy memories of her own life behind her Mrs. Oldfield is de- termined to do what she can to make the homes of the nation hap pier. The farm relief and flood control measures, in both of which she is much interested, take shape in her mind in terms of homes and how they will be affected by ad- verse legislation.
 "A woman's first duty and great est service to her country is to make a home" says Mrs. Oldfield. 'If it is a question of choosing be- tween a political career and that or a wife and mother. a woman's duty and also her greatest joy should be to choose the latter. But when the two do not conflict I think women can be as valuable as men in the service of their government or oth- CT business or professional fields"
 The imposing dome of the caption gleamed white in the morning light. It was only 10 o'clock. but Mrs. Old field had been at her desk since 9:3o. Mrs. Oldfield took the mes sage. She sighed bit wistfully.
 "The first day sat at my desk in congress I kept thinking. It was cnly through loss of my husband that I got here,'" she said. we Lad no children. There was just Billy. But we had such wonderful comradeship and understandings. We called each other 'pard.' We had 2s years of perfect companion ship"
 Mrs. Oldfield says she expects to advance no strange or essentially feminine governrS ntal ideas Tn congress. She believes that a gov ernment that is properly adminis- tered in behalf of our sons, father, and brothers is equally safe ana sound for our women. She says she will not be a candidate for re- election after the term to which she was elected expires.

SCOTCH DRAW CURTAIN

Glasgow LAss3es Must Lengthea
 Skirts to 1s Inches from Ground
 Says Official Edict
 Glasgow. Jan. 2i. (UP)-six Scots lassies working as waitresses in Glasgow's civic tea-room are prac. tically in tears over the unlucky numeral "13." For the Glasgow corporation has decreed that tho skirts of their waitresses in their tea-room must end thirteen inches above the ground: no more, no less.
 Now thirteen inches is from three to seven inches closer to the ground than tho intriguing creations tho waitresses have been wearing. Shapely, twinkling knees that glad- dened the eye of the diner. and moved even the thrifty Scot to a respectable tip, henceforth must hide their attractiveness benea' |. trailing folds of cloth.
 In consequence all are threaten ing to quit.
 Thirteen inches!" exclaimed ono of the waitresses. "Dowdy! That's what I call it.
 Another: "What this joints wants, is midgets."

Talks to Parents
TEMPER TANTRUMs
By Alice PeAIe

In dealing with the youngster who has temper tantrums two things must be kept in mind. the first ia that the child should never get what he wants by indulging in tantrum. the second that it is important to find the underlying causes of such behavior.
 When child has a tantrum the best treatment is to put him in . room by himself and shut the door. This should be done in 8 cool, un- emotional manner and no notice of his existence should be taken until he has regained his self control. He should understand that he can come out of his room as soon as he is quiet. Then the whole situation can either be threshed out or ignored. whichever seems best
 When it is obvious that the cause of the tantrum is simply the frus- tration of an unreasonable wish. meeting the difficulty in the manner suggested above will quickly dis courage further indulgencea.
 But when back of the immediate cause there is a reason of deeper emotional significance. every effort should be made to gain a better un- derstanding 70 that the child will not be driven to such unhappy demon- strationA
 Some of the underlying causes for temper tantrums are overstimu- lation. fatigue. too much correction. insufficient opportunity for free and noisy play. jealousy. lack of parent al love and sense of security. A child who is suffering from ono or more of these is likely to explode at the end of an especially trying day. Although even such a temper tan trum should never achieve it's im- mediate ends. the parent should feel that the full responsibility for such behavior is his rather than the child's.

 I had surprised Edith Fairfax and that . bit unpleasantly. saw that In her eyes as l gave her my cordial invitation to come out to the farmhouse with VI. What had she expected, or wished, ! wondered = when she had realized that I, with the Cnderwoods had overheard her protest against Dicky's giving her the necklace and earrings she wa. wearing, and had witnessed her pleased preening of them in the mirror? Had she hoped l would lose control of myself and treat Dicky to an exhibition of vulgar jealousy? l thanked my particular little joss that I had been able to present an absolutely unruffled front to both my husband and his business partner. in one of the most trying situations which had ever confronted me.
 She had been as poised as I in those first confusing seconds. With the exception of one flashing 'lostiie glance, her face had not lost it's cool, slightly amused smile. But now she hesitated perceptibly before she answered me, and her words were a bit hurried, her manner too fer wildly cordial to be quite natural.
 "Oh! I'm so sorry, Madge,' she said. "I'd love to. I've been count ing all Summer on some week-ends at the farm. But I'll have to give up the idea. The work is so piled up here that can't take a minute"
 Madge Is Relieved
 Her tone was subtly reproachful, and saw . gleam of resentment in Dicky's eyes, for he knew Of course that her little shaft was aim- ed at him. But my reaction was not anger. I wondered if l could dis suise the stark relief felt at her decision as I made the mendacious protest which the conventions re- quired.
 "You don't mean you can't come at all!" I exclaimed. and caught . look of mirthful approval in LII. iian's eyes which almost upset ms. 'Why we've been counting on your coming to us all Summer"

 The child who cannot hear or speak lives of necessity a shut-in existence.
 Modern developments in the care of this group of our population provide for the teaching of lip reading. so that they may follow human speech, and for the teaching ot good writing. so that they may easily communicate to others their own thoughts and wishes.
 If such a child unfortunately happens to be mentally backward in addition to having the defects that have been mentioned, the problem is even more complicated.
 Keeping Them at Home
 Formerly it was the custom in variably to attempt to provide for the care of such persons in institu- tions. It is now realized that a much greater hope of a happy life exists for them if they can be reared to adult age within the fam fly. making all of the modern con- tacts, of life instead of the artificial existence that develops in an in stitution.
 Since it is desirable that every thing be made out of such equip ment as the child may have, the technic of modern psychology has been called in. particularly in Ger many. in order to determine the in- clinat'ons and aptitudes of the child and to encourage his develop ment along these lines.
 Higher Education
 Preliminary tests showed that in. struction in the field of higher ed ucation was just as important for such people as purely technical training in the uses of tools and machines. However, the latter methods will pre- :ail for those who are mentally subnormal.
 Apparently there. are more than three million children in the United States who arc hard of hear ing to greater or lesser degree.
 The subject is one of the most important confronting the combi- nation of teacher, psychologist and physician, who is responsible un- der modern conditions for the care of this group of the defective.

Farmer Browns Boy had notice1 that there did not seem to be as many rats and mice as there had been in the big barn. Black Pussy" said Farmer Browns Boy must have been busy out here of late. She doesn't seem to spend half the time hunting here that she did. Anyway. 1t. is . good thing to get rid of those rats and mice." Just then Black Pussy came along and Farmer Browns Boy stopped to pat her and talk to her. You are a good cat," said he. You certainly have cleaned out the mice here" Black Pussy arched her back and rubbed against Farmer Brown 8 Boys legs and purred. just as fl she understood what he had been saying. If she had understood it. she probably would have had a laugh all to herself. For the truth was, Black Pussy was not catching any mice or rats in Farmer Browns barn. It was only now and then tha, she ever caught sight of one.
 Farmer Browns Boy picked up the broom and began to sweep up the barn floor. Presently he paused and bent over to examine something on the floor. Then he picked it up and broke it open. It was a little pellet of fur and bones. The fur was mouse fur and the bones were mouse bones. There was funny look on the face of Farmer Browns Boy as he realized, what he held in his hand. He looked up to the roof of the barn. Then he began to look on the floor again. He discovereo some more pellets-quite a number of them. He whistled softly. Now, wlot do you know about this!" he exclaimed. "There is an owl in this barn, or at least there has been. I've seen these things too often not 10 know what they are. When a" owl catches a mouse he cannot di- gest the bones and the fur. So, when everything else is digested. the fur and the bones are rolled up into little balls and he drops them out of his mouth. l have seen then, many times under the tree whero Spooky the Owl lives. Black Pussr. l guess I've been giving you credit that you didn't deserve. I thought it queer that the rats and the mice
 disappeared SO suddenly. I shall have to look into this. I wonder if hy any chance it can be that Spooky has moved over here 10 the barn."
 So Farmer Browns Boy, after hc had finished his chores, tramped over through the Old Orchard to the tree where he knew Spooky the Screech Owl had been living. He looked all around on the rnow, but not single little pellet did he find. Then he put his hand in the hollow in the tree where Spooky made his home. Of course, there was n, Spooky there. Snow had blown into that little hollow and it had not been disturbed. That meant that no one had been living there since the storm.
 "It must be-" said Farmc. Browns Boy. as he tramped bacN to the barn. ''it must be that Spooky is there right now. I wonder how he got in." Then he happened to glance up and noticed the holes high up in the peak that had been made for pigeons one time. Instant " he guessed that was the way Spooky had entered
