born. Three children q day and in 10

When the food supply runs low OF
conditions get too crowded, winged
places and start another group. On
the same stem may be found the elderly
grandmother and the latest grand

when their tummies are full they 60 on

over the trees and plants this sticky
substance Is seen. To the butterfly, ant,

seizes this opportunity to increase the
herd Of "milch cows" and her sisters
stand by the overlooking aphid and
catches the drop before 1t falls.
All II not as safe as 1t seems. Right
in their midst Is lurking their dreaded
enemy, the aphis lion. He Is the on
spring of the Surplus ny. a legless
creature, with q soft grayish green
body and strong black jaws. Creeping
behind busy aphis he grabs her about
the middle. She struggles in vain. He
sucks the juices from her body and
losses it aside, then picks OF another
one. It has been claimed that the
aphis If given q chance will give him
squirt of honey dew, which Is 30
sticky he has to stop and remove 1t
from his jaws before 1t hardens, and
she gets away. There are many insects
which prey upon these little juicy NOR

her family we are most deeply indebted.

Just before the buds appear the oc-
cupant of the tiny egg begins to get
busy. The shell Of the egg splits from
one end down to the center of the egg.
The little head Of the aphid pokes out
and later the shoulders appear. On
her head Is a sort of spiked crown. The

strolls forth on her six wobbly legs.
She has two compound eyes and three
simple ones. Her feelers are six-jointed,
usually pink, and are for sensing pur-
poses. The beak Is the most tmpor-
suction pump combined. With this the
owner drills deeply into the plant and
sucks up its juices. The plant Is often
killed and fruit trees are deprived of
the juice which would develop the
leaves or fruit. Many tree and plants
are badly deformed by these persistent
suckers.
The grape aphis cost France more
than her war with Germany. England
has lost billions from the woolly apple
aphis. And we have Jared no better.

suede also are among the high spots
of Summer fashion news.
Dresses of sheer white wooden ana
those of white cotton fabrics are seen
on city streets as well as on country
club piazzas. Recently we have seen
many wool suits of chiffon weight
lunching at smart places and at the
matinee. How color sets of white Is
proved by the short, bright-colored
Jackets which often are worn with these
costumes, or the scarfs which supple
ment them when the suit itself Is all
white.
The bright colored beret worn with
so many Of the white sports frocks Is
another favored method Of introducing
color.
Hand-knitted sweaters introduce bril-
liant hues to suits of white light weight
WOOL The white flannel suit is good,
LOO, worn with a bright-hued blouse,
and the white skirt with blue flannel
coat and red scarf is another favorite.
Whether it is patriotism or just q liking
for lively shades, the national colors are
appearing everywhere that smart sports

beaches, tennis courts and golf links all
are flooded with costumes showing red,
white and blue combined in a multitude
Of smart ways.

A Sermon for Today
Premature Judgment.
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.

"Judge nothing before tin,e"-I Cor. los
This admonition is one needed at all
times with regard to current conditions
IN the world, and particularly now. Not
q great while ago an eminent physiol-
ogiSt told us that the blood Of the race
was running out and that the human
family was in grave danger of being
eXtinguished from physical degenera-
ton. university professor in Ger
tragic end to humanity-that mans
rising efficiency and increasing tech
nique would soon spell his doom. We
hear many prophecies of another war
soon to come, In which the human race,
by its own violence, will be utterly de-
stroyed from the earth. And what
gloomy prophecies we hear in connec-
ton with the present economic depres-
sion. Many tell us that its outcome is
likely to be the complete collapse Of
civilization.
We should not be blind to the evils
and dangers pointed out by these
prophets. They are not to be lightly
regarded. They should challenge the
thoughtful attention of all right-think-
ing people. But let us not be too much
Influenced by pessimistic views Of
things. Let us not despair. Judge
nothing before time" There have been
times In the past Wnen IL seemed tnaL
the blood of the race was running out.
But somehow it has always managed to
run out into a new and reinvigorated
blood In the past the human race has
contended with earthquakes. volcanoes,
cyclones, famines, floods, plaques, dis
eases, infirmities, weaknesses, ignorance,
panics, revolutions, wars and all man
ner of calamat;es, difficulties, hard
ships and sufferings. And yet it has
risen above all these, and with intrepid
resolution, dauntless courage. intelligent
valor and an inextinguishable hope has
marched on to new achievements and
new triumphs. We are told that history
repeats itself. Let us hold on to the
confidence that we shall conquer again
and that out Of present conditions q
new day win come.
We are undoubtedly confronted with
many discouraging things. But there
are many things to encourage us, many
hopeful signs on the horizon. Besides,
there is the possibility of new devel-
opments which We do not now fore
see. Even though conditions become
worse, let US remember that humanity
possesses a remarkable power for re-
cuperating itself and going on. What
ever is said, surely this is no time for
hasty, ill-considered, premature judg-
ment.

Charming Dressing Jacket
BY MARY MARSHALL.

the material at the end Of this slash
in the center of the fold to form an
opening for the neck. Then put the
piece over the shoulders and pin the
back and front section together to form
underarm seams, leaving deep arm
hole. Take up this seam and finish the
edges of the Jacket with narrow hem
or rolled edge and apply narrow inita-
ton Valenciennes, as shown IN the
sketch.
In your piece box you may have a
piece of material that will serve the
purpose, or YOU may be able to make
the little jacket from o discarded eve
ming dress of satin or silk crepe. The
back section and two front sections may
be cut separately, II you like, and
scanned together at the shoulders.
OF course, you will want one OF these
little garments, which may be used as
a bed jacket or as a dressing jacket.
And then you should make one or two
more to use for card party prizes or to
add to your collection OF Christmas
gifts.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Quart of Milk for Child.

Our goal in child training Is to move
the child from one stage of development
to the next as rapidly as he is able.
This is not forcing: it Is just taking
advantage of natural growth and devel-
opment, and making those changes
which will be most interesting and &C.
ceptable to the child at each period.
It is certain that II we hold Q baby
at some level of development too long,
we find him stubborn and resistant TO
change, while If we begin early and
work up slowly to the change he &C
cepts It. We all know that II the baby
has had cup for water and orange
juice from the time he could sit up, or
has been allowed to handle q spoon and
puddle about" with 1t at 9 months or
sooner, he will be able to drink BEAU
tifully at year and make good head
way with Spooning up his solid foods.
We also know that other babies not so
trained must be fed and demand all
milk by bottles. It Is largely Q matter
Of patient training and In initiating
this training early.
This partly answers Mrs. M. NJ, who
wanted to know the advantages of q
three meal-a-day schedule. The ad-
can patiently wait five hours for his
meal and can eat a larger diet which
will satisfy him that long. he has moved
upward toward definitely adult stand
ards The advantage to the mother Is
obvious, for meals are coincident with
the family meals-an advantage that
should appeal to any busy mother.
Mrs. M. M. also asks, How much
milk should q baby Of 10 months old,
weighing % pounds, take? II he gets
be distributed? What IS the usual
measurement of cup Of milk? I never
see anything definite on this"
Thirty-two ounces Of milk Is one
quart and furnishes four 8-ounce feed
ings. The usual feeding bottle holds
ounces and the ordinary measuring
cup the same amount. Coffee or tea
cups fall below this standard. Any
baby over 20 pounds in weight should
have a quart of milk daily. If he Is
under 10 or II months, dilute the milk
with water, add some sugar and put 1t
into five bottles. Otherwise, four feed
ings are the usual amount.
Most babies Of 10 months Stin get
four Bounce feelings. Recently I ad-
viSed three for a particular baby who
had no appetite for four meals. U.s.
ually 6, 10, 2, is the interval, and 8
ounces of whole milk each time would
be the right amount.
On three-meal schedule the baby will
have one cup Of milk at each meal, and
the other cup can be used In cooking
solid foods. Cereal is more appetizing
when cooked in milk-one cup can be
used that way or in milk pudding or
custGrd. Reserve one quart daily for
baby, and you'll not find it difficult 70
use 1t, even If not all Of it is taken as
beverage.
My leafet, weeks Menu for the
Child from One to Two Years." will
help you to plan the meals after the
baby is past infancy. Send q self
addressed. stamped Envelope with your
request for this laa1et to the "Your
Baby and Mine" department Of this
paper.

COLOR contrasts continue to sweep
~ fashion, across the stable white
background of the Summer mode. For
though this Summer is distinctly time
of play upon color, it is just as def
nitely a white Summer. In the Spring
we talked much Of black with touch
Of white and colored frocks with a
touch of white. Now the talk has re-
versed itself and the chatter Is about
white with a touch OF color and some
times more than touch.
In the realm Of sport clothes this
color accent on white is Of the most
brilliant tones. For city and street wear
1t is a bit more discreet, but it Is ever
present in the mode as worn in smart
restaurants at luncheon and tea time.
All the colorS SO enthusiastically
talked about achieve chic through con-
sorting with white. To further amplify
this mode there are jackets Of white
fur, such as broadtail and pony skin,
jackets of white chiffon and of white
crepes and corded silks. Gloves that
are white and velvet hats of paper

His furniture has something Of the

the ormolu or chiseled brass mounts
were omitted in the German adapta-
tions. It did have refreshing and Wig
orous simplicity, as Lois could see In the

modern furniture can claim kinship.
Perhaps that Is one reason fer the re-
turn of the Beidermeier furniture TO

When hashing cold meat add
q little chopped parsley. It will

Before making tea the teapot
should always be scalded. Tea
should be measured carefully in
the proportion Of one level tea
spoon for each cup desired. The
boiling water should be poured
over the tea and the tea allowed
to steep for three minutes or
