OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

The machine will never be able to turn
out work that can compete with hand
work. Put chair that has been made
in the factory beside one that has been
made in the shop Of the skilled cabinet
maker or woodworker, and you will feel
the difference at once. Your hands will
go out to caress the handmade one
every time.
People will always want the lovely
things that ere the works of mems
hands. The skilled handworker will al
ways command a high place in the
working world. The more machine
work we have the higher value we place
on the things made by hand.
Teaching q child to work we'll with
his hands makes him independent. It
makes him intelligent. 1t gives him &C.
cupation of mind and body in his lei
sure time. It offers him an opportunity
for earning his living in the field he
likes best. 1t makes good citizens. Busy
hands make light hearts and light
hearts bring beauty into everyday liv-
ing. There are many reasons for
teaching children to work and none for
not doing So

be stimulated and the fatty tissues

gent, which may be made of three
ounces camphor water and one ounce
rose water.
You must be careful. as IN any re-
ducing program, that the skin does not
become flabby and wrinkled as the flesh
meltS away. The best way to prevent
this is to use an astringent bandage
on the neck twice a day. Saturate a
pad of absorbent cotton with the fol-
lowing astringent: Two drains powdered
alum, one ounce rose water, one ounce
glycerin, two ounces cologne water Take
strip of white cloth or the leg of a
white stocking, place the cotton in it,
then bind it over the double chin like
a chin strap. Let this remain on about
two minutes.
If the astringentS seem to dry your
skin too much, cleanse the neck with
cleansing cream or oil rather than soap
and water while you are going through
the treatments outlined. Good luck to
you! Remember that perseverance will

price of keeping 'everlastingly at it,"

LITTLE BENNY

pop getting letter from her saying,
Deer Willyum, we'll it's long wife that
has no reforming, and III be in your mist
again in a very few days.
To boil the matter down to a nut
shell, I've decided that the werld is not
big enough to hold little Herbit and
myself, at least as far as this house is
concerned. The grand climax arrived
last mite at dinner when everybody at
the table was greeted by a sardeen in
their glass of water
Fanny as usual considered it a mark
OF 1ntelligentS in Herbit, claiming it

his love for dunn animals, but somehow

around a End and Bird time as far as
I was concerned.
In other werds it was the last straw
and decided to tell Fanny at brekf1st
this morning that I very much regretted
to have to cut my visit short, but I was
urgently needed at home. where I con-
sidered it my ferst duty to be in time
of emergency.
Well Willyum before had a chance
10 clear my vocal CORDS, Fanny cody m
formed me that she expected her hus-
bands mother and that she was afraid
she would half to give her my room.
I'm sure it was all a Matched up piece of
fiction because Fanny resented my GO
ing out of my way to do her the favor
Of giving her little clear cut daily adj
vice on the genrel subjeck of how to
bring up Herbit better.
Anyway, Willyum, had sufficient
presents of mind to come off with fly
ing colors. What I calmly said was,
Its very nice of you to feel that way,
Fanny. but I really wish you would
write to your mother in law and tell her
its not Necessary to pospone her visit
on my account but really and so forth
and so forth just as had planned to

FEET IN THE SNOW.
Mrs Bugler quietly took that leader
ship from him ana he became little
more than a rear guard for the band
did he lose that arrogance.
There was no more fighting to be
done. so he spent much time in stand
ing in commanding positions where he
could be seen to the best advantage
and fondly believed that he was being
admired So great was his self-eSteem
and pride in his appearance that he
failed TO notice that Mrs. Bugler and
the others hardly ever glanced his way.
Was he not Bugler the Elk, lord of the
mountain. fearing no one?
But the SHOWS came, and Mrs. Bugler,
wise with the wisdom of long expert
ence, led the band down to the lower
slopes, where there was food and shell
ter, and without realizing that he was
following instead of lea sing Bugler went
with them. No one paid him the least
attention now. The one concern of
all was to get food, and it was Mrs.
Bugler who knew where the best food
was to be found and the best way of
getting to it. So it was she whom the
others watched and whom they fol-
lowed with perfect faith whenever she
moved Sometimes Bugler grumbled a
protest, but no one gave it the least
attention. He could go with them or
remain where he was so Tar as they
were concerned. Still he remained ar
rogant, tossing his head in pride and
admiring himself when no one else
even glanced at him.
And then, near the end of Winter,
there came a day when the great Elk
was shorn of his arrogance and pride
and became as humble as the smallest
member of the band. Indeed, he be-
came more humble. For day or two
he had felt that something was wrong,
lust what he did not know. His head

found she could combine a piece OF
French Empire or German Biedermeier
with these possessions of hers.
But what should she do with color

The tea room used blue green. the
new Spanish tile red, a green white
and a dead white. The effect was
charming not too striking for her own
home. She looked at curtain material
and chose a blue-green damaSk. She
trimmed this with blue-green ball
fringe.
The curtains were draped back in
empire style.
For glass curtains she had sheer, soft
material made of synthetic silk. 1t
hung softly.
The floor Vas carpeted in plain car
peting Of Spanish tile coloring. 1t was
rich and heavy.
The furniture was mostly walnut,
although her chairs were painted. She
finished the walls in a white which
held just a suspicion of green. The
accessories were in white. There was
a white glass vase and white flowers.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Grief.

If adult education ever becomes a
real issue among grown-ups, that edu-
cation must include some practical in
struction about grief.
Perhaps, as some say, grief is Moth
ing other than the blocking and
thwarting of we'll set habits of COM
panionship. The acceptance of that
doctrine might go far toward the
eradication Of useless fixations which
seem to Sdisturb the conscience Of so
many overconscientious persons.
OF course, it may be argued that
grief is the very thing that makes life
worth while. So does fear. So does
failure. So does pain. Every disap-
pointment, keenly felt, is a symptom
Of life.
But still there is such a thing as
living overmuch in the past. Such an
attitude can mean nothing other than
contraction of the normal PERSONAL
ity which always looks to the future,
although it has grown out of the past
into the present.
I quote William James: when you
have grief, do something worth while
that you probably would not otherwise
have DONE"

some cases difficult to recognize This
suggests her haste in a definite way
Size probably thinks faster than she
can write. For this reason, although
she may be able to write very per-
fectly if she takes time, her letters are
not so carefully made. If she tried to
write slowly. however, her writing
would lose much of its character and
would not be a true index of her per-
sonality.
She probably lives very full life
desiring few Idle moments. The time
spent for sleep she might even grudge,
thinking Of the many ways she could
utilize it. This hurrying from ont

she has more vitality and enthusiasm
because of these rest periods. In addi-

 Several other notes were found penned by Miss Walsh and told of her life with Crowley and the shoot ing of Hirsch.
 In addition to the murders already confessed, police hope to fasten other crimes on Crowley, slender. curly haired thick-lipped youth and his 22O-pound companion, Durniger, who is several years older.
 The discovery of the trio's hiding place was made by two detectives who overheard a conversation in a Harlem restaurant which led them to the West 90th street apartment.
 Crowley had been known to police for some time. Auto theft charges against him had failed several times and he had no serious conflict with the law until now.
