RIDING MASTER By Alice JudSOn Peale

Say, nom, want to go riding with me this morning?'
 "Oh, 1 don't know how. l haven't been on horse for Y years, not since l was about your age and had a pony. l probably cant even post any more. I'd be a fine sight on horse and you wouldn't have any fun with me along"
 "Yes I would. Anyhow, who cares what you look like? I'll show you how to post Put on some knickcrs and come on. You can ride old Donny and I'll take Babe, shes frisky.'
 Together they went down to the stable, where Jimmy, ever so eff cient, showed his mother just how to make a horse take the bit, and how not to let him fool you by his blowing out his belly so you couldn't get the saddle on tight. Jimmy help ed his mother to mount in fine style. He showed her how to hold the reins and they were off
 They trotted down an old country ltlt, JlllIlS tHJOSllS lliIlSelI HliSliI- fly in the role of riding master, coaching, correcting and encourag ing. It was a fine ride.
 Do you ever give your child a chance to teach you anything? Very likely there are all sorts of things that he does ever so much better than you do. Let him teach you one or two of them.
 Riding may seem a bit strenuous, but yo umight let him take you fishing and show you how to cast You might let him teach you how 10 build a camp fire or how to shoot at targets.
 Nothing so quickly establishes camarade ries as this reversal of the usual roles between parent and child. Don't turn down your child's invita- tion to teach you something. It is as precious an opportunity as any you will have.

This Girl Typist Flies Through Her Work

New York. Aug. 24.-Jane Gal to make all ambitious private sec retaries lift their eyes hopeful. 1 from their work.
 For Jane is Americas latest innovation, a flying secretarvs' She has just returned from flying $500 miles to Buenos Aires with her boss, the president of an avla- ton company inaugurating a | South American line, his wife and three other men connected | with the company. Jane had so hours in the air to her credit on this trip. She took dictation while fling over F different countries.
 "A good digestion and helath are really more important than speed on your machine, when you are a flying secretary" Jane laugh ed her merry, infectious laugh. "Brt the thrill of speeding through the air with the wind rushing by ana viewing below the exquisite beauty of new countries and sea made my little portable seem precious and | important. kind Of magic key venture. For I never in the world venture. For never in the world could have had such a trip if I hadn't been a secretary"
 On Top of the World Jane is like a rush of clear wind herself, a youthful Seattle girl with wavy chestnut hair that has high lights in it, hazel eyes with warm brown tones and flashing white teeth that show often. for Jane is riding on top of the world right now.
 She has been a secre :ary ever since graduating from the Uni , versity of Washington but never realized work could be such fun ! until she went 10 work few yeas ago for an aviation company. She flew to Victoria, San Francisco and other points down the coast and loved it. That is why she was in seventh heaven when the president of the company wired her to come to New York last May to start on this trip.
 They left in June and from hen on life was a grand adventure 10 this girl from the golden west
 Any Kind of Work
 T typed only an hour or so a day" she explained. q held my portable on my kness and 1t was easy except when we hit an air pocket. Once or twice my type writer and myself sDrawled. We had such fun laughing. ' kept a log of the trip and did corre- spondence for the rest. We sang, worked cross word pr"z:es, wrote notes to each other and sat hours gazing out on the changing seen cry, and azure blue of the sea near the West Indies. the romance of the Lesser Antilles with her bluest of blue lagoons and peace ful little villages nestling on inv islands. living coral reefs and schools of flying fish. We stopped many places, a blessed week at beautiful Port au Prince where I mean to return some day. We got to Buenos Aires too soonn"
 Adaptability seems the first re- Quirement for flying secretaries. There is the matter of luggus-. Jane took only one grip which contained two white knlcker su ts with polo shirts, two changes of jersey underthings that required no ironing, sandals for daytime

 Early Starting Time"
 There are also the problems of taking off at 30 a. m. with per- haps just coffee and a light lunch of tongue and chicken sandwiches, port and cookies and a very late dinner that night when they iand- fed. Jane usually did her own laundry. in order to have it done when they took off early the next morning.
 But inconvenienCes mean noth- ing to a young woman lucky enough to be flying secretary. She does not remember an un- pleasant or uninteresting thing on the entire two months trip!
 Certain memories shine bright for their intriguing interest to Jane, however. There was her horror when they flew low over Devils Island and took pictures at 200 feet of the poor French convicts isolated there in utter de- spair for life. There was her ex-

 He stopped for a second, and l wondered if he guessed how terri fled and breathless I was.
 "You might tell Underwood!"
 You have something in your place that some friends of mIne have taken a fancy to-" he went 0n, the flippant note again prominent. I'm not going to tell you what 1t is-maybe it's an oil painting of your grandfather, maybe it's a da- mond ring belonging to a friend of yours. or a will or decd made by a relative. You can keep yourself busy guessing while you're waiting to hear from my friends. It'll be bet ter than working out cross word puzzle, But-make no mistake
 
 ly crisp-"when my friends send you word what it is they want and when they want it, you'd better be ready to produce the goods on-the dot If you don't, or if you dawdle around the police. you'll be one sorry lady. I can promise you that, You might tell all this 10 that lad, Underwood. He's so good at crack ing nuts, let him try this hard shelled one. So long. Sorry I'll never hear you talk again. You nave such a sweet voice."
 The receiver clicked, and for a panic-stricken second I stood with mine still held to my ear. I was alone ir the apartment-andI I knew that only Lillian was at home in the other suite. and that she was asleep. But even if she had been awake. I would not have gone to her with this pcrpleXing problem.
 There had been distinctly sinis- ter note, or so l imagined, in the unknown mans reference to Harry Underwood. If Lillian heard of it, her terrified anxiety concerning her husbands safety, lullcd somewhat since his successful coup in break ing up the gang of conspirators known as Kenellos and foiling the plot to assassinate Prince Georges, would start up in full strength again.
 If only Dicky were here,
 Even as my mind framed the wish. my pulses quickened with joy at the thought that the renewal of our old loving comraderie made it possible for me to go to him with all my perpleXities as well as my joys.
 But I realized that I could not wait for his counsel concerning one thing. l must act on my own initia- tive, and instead of replacing the receiver upon the hook, I Flashed" repeatedly for the hotel switchboard operator.
 That long distance call must be traced at once" I said. q must find out from what number in Toledo it came, and, if possible, what the man looked like who made it. While you're starting the tracing, let me talk to the manager, please"

school children.)

StlUDl tHlluTtn.)
 BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of Fly
 geia, the Health Magazine.
 One of the most serious handi- caps to education of the school child is defective vision.
 Dr. Frank H. Rodin recently dis closed the results of study of the eyes of school children in San Francisco, pointing out that poor vision may result in mental retar- dation, the development of an in ferority complex and even in ju- venile delinquency.
 A study made by the National Society for the prevention of Blind ness of school children in the United States in 1922 and 1923 showed de- fleets of vision among them varying from per cent in Tennessee to lS.4 per cent in Virginia, and aver aging about 12 per cent for 3,000,- OOO children.
 Practically all schools make ar rangements for regular tests of the eyes of the children with the Snel- len chart, which contains letters of various sizes which the child is asked to read at a distance of 20 feet. Young children are asked to identify symbols instead of letters.
 In the study of a great many children in San Francisco schools cases of cross-eyes were found, cases of poor vision with repeated headaches, cases of trachoma. cases in which children had had foreign substances in the eyes with infection for long periods of time, In the San Francisco schools 12.2 per cent of the children had defective vision Many children were using eye glasses which were not in any sense Of the word suitable to the con- ditions of their eyes.
 l. is important that any condi- ton of the eye resulting in defec- tive vision be given prompt atten- ton and that children with very seriously defective vision be put in special classes which will educate them and at the same time save as much of their eyeSight as is possible

If Bowser the Hound had mol, been the good -natured dog that he was, I fear that his nose would have been out of joint, as the say ing is. Ever since that little run away dog had come to live at Farm CT Browns, he had received most of the attention from Farmer Browns Boy and others. He was in danger of becoming quite spoiled.
 For a long time he had no name. Finally, Farmer Browns Boy dec'd- ed that it was high time he had a name. So he called the little dog to him and put him through some tricks he had been teaching him. One of these tricks was to turn q somersault in the air The little dog was smart and he learned readily. In a surprisingly short time he had learned to turn som ersauIts.

The Mysterious Telephone Call froI.l
 Toledo Turns Out to Be a Threat.
 If l have a phobia, as some of our modern wise men claim every one has, it surely is connected with a telephone message, especially a long-distance ones. DiCky says that I start like a frightened horse at any ring of the telephone. and quiv- CT until the call is finished, and that when we are away from home, l am secretly longing to speed the answering of any telephone l hear ringing That, of course. is mostly teasing nonsense. but 1t has an jn- comfortable modicum of truth in 1t, and never have l been so aware of that percentage of truth as when waiting to hear the voice of the unknown man from Toledo who had Insisted upon talking 10 me.
 l knew no one who lived in To- ledo. l was certain of that, and as I held the receiver to my ear, wait ing for the long distance call to be completed, l hastily ran over the names Of the men I knew outside New York city whose acquaintance with me would warrant so insstent q demand to speak to me.
 Hugh Grantland, Allen Drake, Robert Savarin, I discarded each name in turn, for I happened to know the whereabouts of all of them. Not one was within five hundred miles of the city from which this call was coming.
 "Mrs. Graham" A mans voice sounded suddenly in my ears. voice totally strange to me and l found my free hand Involuntarjly gripping the arm Of my chair.
 "Yes I am Mrs. Graham" l re- piled after a second. 'But--1 do not recognize your voice."
 Considering that you've never heard jt before. that isn't % strange" the voice replied with a Tatcnt attempt at flippancy which made me say jelly:
 Then you can have no possible reason for wishing to talk to me. Good day"
 \ Threat
 Listen to mel" The voice was SO suddenly changed, so mcn1cing, that involuntarily I put back to my ear the receiver which l had start ed to return to the hook. "no you want every member of your family and friends to live the year out?"
 He gave me no chance to answer this astounding question. even if l had been able to reply. For the mo- ment l was incapable of speech, and by the time I pulled myself to- gether he was speaking again. the menace in his voice again tinged with flippancy.
 You don't have 10 answer that. I'm wise to all your outfit and what you think of them. But you listen to me, now. or you'll he sorry every minute of your life Are you ready?"
 q will listen to you" I said cold;y, hoping he would not detect the choke in my voice. Never had I felt so powerless to resent inso- lence, and my checks were burning with humiliation, yet I dared not hang up the receiver as my ont ragged dignity and self-respect de nlanded I should do.
