and a drink Of water-legally

holic beverages were cleared from
Canadian TO United States ports
last March.
In April, the liquor flow consist
ed Of 178.56O gallons. IN May II
was 172.472 gallons.
The big drop in exports, in the
face Of more propitious weather for
navigating the river. tells the story
OF the beginning Of the present con-
c~entrated move TO make the boun-
dairy unsafe for rum runners.
The present push is divided
among three specific arms Of the
government service. with +. r. Nor

mating the effort.
In the customs service are $50
men. manning 20 fast boats. On

bers Of automobiles for their use.

Line and color should be as carefully
considered in the decoration schemes
for rooms as in the matter of personal
costumes. The whole appearance of a
room from the decorative standpoint
may be ruined by failing to accent these
two features correctly.
BY means of line the height of a
ceiling can be made to appear lower
or higher. The width of a narrow
room can be made to seem greater
or less so that proportions are more
pleasing, or 6 room that gives the i'm
preston of being bit too stiff by its
squareness can be transformed to have
good lines and coziness These points
cannot be overlooked If successful dec
grafton results.
To accent lines correctly it is neces-
sary to note what has to be overcome,
and work toward the right effect in wall
and floor treatment and furniture ar
rangement. Think of the room as some
thing to be costumed. See that horl-
zontal lines are made pronounced when
ceilings are too high and that vertical
lines are stressed when ceilings are too
low. These effects can be brought about
through wall papers, paneling, hanging
Of pictures. mirrors, draperies, etc.
The positioning of rugs croSSwise or
lengthwiSe on floor can make room
seem longer or narrower than it really

Keep It While You Have It.

Keep 1t while you have it. You
know what we mean by that.
About the saddest thing that car be
said about any poverty-stricken soul
is, 1T knew her when she was a per-
son of means"
When you walk down the street some
90 or Is years hence be one of these
folks who have 1t, rot one who had 1t.
There is no great secret in keeping
it, and by this time you have identified
sit" as money.
The time to conserve money Is when
it Is coming in, rot when earning pow
er has ceased.
It does not matter whether that
earning power Is yours or your hus-
bands. It Is natural to expect that
it will decline.
The time to save Is when that earn
ing power is at its greatest height.
That is why we say, Keep it while
you have It,"
Arrange your saving and your In
vesting on a scale that calls for the
putting away of most of your capital
between the ages of 80 and SIS.
During those years of your life re-
member money is yours to have ana
to hold, and that If you do not hold
1t you will regret it If you live long
enough.
BE merry today, for tomorrow you
die" is weak philosophy, because most
Of us do rot die tomorrow, nor the
day after. We live, and. If we lacked
foresight, We live in want.
What's the sense Of having money
If one doesn't enjoy 1t? None what
soever, but that is no reason to think
one must spend as one earns 1t. Plan
some Of your enjoyment for the futurs.
Everybody has money at some time
in her life. Everybody, or almost every
body, needs money at some time in her
life. Fortunate is she who needs 1t
when she is able to earn it, or when
her husband is up and doing.
She learns the wisdom of putting
away. Goodness knows this Is en-
fortation to save. Those who at this
day do not know enough to save are
past redemption. It Is a plea to save
when saving is easiest and when one
really has something to save.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Parents have a common falling They
believe, and are terribly disappointed If
their belief is shattered, that they can
spoil baby for most of its young life
and then, seeing the light. can in one
or two forcible lessons break down what
they have been at such pains to build up.
There is Betty, for instance. She is 6
months old. She has been living in the
home Of her grandparents and grand
mother can't bear to hear her cry, not
even for exercise. With two women to
jump at her first whimpers Betty has
! led an ideal existence, for her. Now,
| mother has moved into her own home.
| She is busy with housework and the
baby's constant demands for attention
and her orgies of crying at night when
she is put to bed without rocking are, so
she says, driving her crazy" She
realizes now that she has started all
| wrong, but she has faith that If she can
let the child cry herself to sleep one
night, or cry in the daytime without at
tention. she'll learn not to expect It,.
Meanwhile the neighbors are complain
ing about the way the baby yells and
the mother wishes a simple and easy
method, preferably in one lesson, of
training the child not to cry.
We wish, quite as fervently as the
harassed parent, that we knew one.
Then there is Charles, who has gone
unframed for Is months of his life, &C
cepting the wet or soiled state as a per-
fectly natural one. Suddenly his mother
decided that this is terrible way for
Charles to act. She is going to rain
him. Right away, too. No more such
actions, young man. Aren't you ashamed
to be such dirty boy? The very next
time you do anything like that I'm 60
ing to spank you. She gives, as she
would express it, good" spanking, but
she finds to her distress that it does no
good. Charles is as blithely uncon-
cerned about his misbehavior as he has
been for Is months. There is one
change, though. He Is more Secretive.
He tries to prevent being caught" be-
cause he has learned that this is quite
unpleasant. Otherwise his training is
as incomplete as 1t was before his moth
er made this momentous decision.
Habits are long in the making. They
are imprinted deeper by each repetition.
They must be unmade in the same way.
Constant repetition of the new habit,
accompanied by as pleasant and satisfy
ing a sensation as was the repetition of
the old habit. When we spank a child
in an effort to unmake his old habit we
are making the formation of the new
one distasteful, so that no amount of
repetition is going to be effective until
we learn to apply that cardinal factor.
Make it pleasant for baby to be clean
and dry while constantly trotting him
to the toilet, and he'll outgrow his old
habits. Break of his bedtime attentions
gradually. Instead of rocking and sing.
ing, just sing, and accompany this with
pleasant, rhythmic patting. Then
stop singing, then taper of the patting
until he is willing to go to sleep with
just loving pat or two.

received at the railroad depot by nu-

Baltimore.
The visiting firemen were conducted

CATION. When the procession reached
the Presidents House the firemen were
invited into the East Room. There the
visitors were introduced to President
Pierce by James H. Brown of the Co.
lumbia Fire Co.
President Pierce received the firemen
with his usual courtesy and made a
few remarks appropriate to the oc-
casion, which greatly pleased the visi-
tors from Rochester and Baltimore.
After these ceremonies at the Presi-
dents House the f1remen repaired to
the American Hotel, where dinner was
served by direction of the local dele

The visitors were. in the city only

Pop Goes the Weasel and other

and boys followed the procession and
crowded on the car platforms, where
big demonstration took place before
the cars started northWard.
I'VE never before witnessed more
innocently exciting scene" says a
writer for The Evening Star. Every
body appeared to be happy. BY the
time the cars left our f1remen had
huzzaed themselves hoarse. A little af-
| fair took place which added some spice
to the exciting variety A middle-aged
man, not a fireman, who, it was plain,
had been moistening his clay with
something stronger than Adams ale,
additionally stimulated by the music
from the city band in attendance, gave
an exhibition of his dancing powers
going through all the steps and figures
and bowling to his imaginary female
partner with as much grace as his gal
lantry, under the alcoholic circum-
stances, permitted.

his legs being peculiarly in condition
for that purpose While he thus made
a Judy of himself, he amused the
more refined portion of the spectators
by his elegant gyrations."
