Mr.. Hudson said the plans were only

he refused to divulge their contents.
A huge machine gun, model OF a

time ago, was on a stand in the drafting
room of the Office, the muzzle of which
was pointing directly at the safe as the
crackSman worked. 1t is about feet

The plans for this machine gun,
which were laying near the other plans
in the safe, were left behind by the

Admittedly, the act Of 1911 was ex-

fected 2,250,0O0 manual workers in
trades which were peculiarly susceptible
to periodic fluctuations of prosperity.
Notably, the act adopted the funda-
mentals of the trade union schemes
voluntary schemes, SO to speak-and
emphasized the underlying principle
that the insured trades should help to
maintain, through times of depression
and under-employment, the reserves Of
labor they required in seasons of good
employment.
Further, the state adopted the funda-
mental that the employed person and
his employer should contribute in equal
proportions to the insurance fund, and
that the state, on public grounds and to
make the scheme more attractive to the
compulsorily insured contributor, should
make a somewhat similar contribution.
Thus the famous and successful triple
contribution came into existence. The
rates of contribution were low-em-
plpyer and employed contributing 5
cents each and the state something like
8 cents. The benefits also were low, the
top allowance for persons OF ID years

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

While the men of medicine are solv-
ing some Of the riddles of living. they
are creating other riddles for some one
else to solve. There are more healthy
old people in the world today than ever
before. So the problem of old age is
growing by leaps and bounds.
For one thing, it seems certain that
society will be obliged to establish a
postgraduate school. 1t appears that
prolonged life demands new and differ
ent sorts of training. There Is now on
foot a type of education which is be-
ginning to be called adult education"
So far as the educational psychology
of the situation is concerned, it appears
that the best time to enter that new
course of training is somewhere between
40 and so. From the laboratory of one
brilliant psychologist comes the hope
full intelligence that a person Is at his
best when he reaches the age of Al
years months.
Another interesting fact seems to be
emerging from the psychological in
vestigation of the situation. 1t is this
The best time to learn a thing Is just
before you need to use 1t.
II this be true, age will 60 in for
energetic effort while youth may take
its time for reflection. And adults will
seek those mental thrills. whatever they
be, that compensate for the physical in
activity incident to growing old.

OUR CHILDREN

A Day OF.

A Day OF.
Mothers work is taken too much
for granted. The members Of the fam
lily who leave the house to go to
work come home weary and ready to
rest. The close of the day seems to
them a respite from labor. They take
their slippered ease with book or game
in the conscious Righteousness that
comes of knowing days work well
done.

taking care Of the baby all day, doing
the marketing, the cooking, the clean

make home pleasant for the day
Much of it cannot be helped, per-
hans. The modern machinery does
tighten the labor but 1t does not ease
the strain that year-long terms OF
service impose upon mothers: Inc only
way out is for mother to take her oay
off no matter what comes or goes.
This REQUIRES some management and
self-control on mothers part. she

When YOU look at something steadily

lest he become insensible to it and so

How is that to be done? ANY mother

One can always do what one wants to

Wrinkles After an Illness.
Dear Miss Leeds-I have been very
III and am still very weak. I am on
milk diet. My face has become much
wrinkled. Would cocoa butter mas
saged In help remove the wrinkles on
face and neck?
CONSTANT READER.
Answer-Cocoa butter or any good
tissue cream, preferably one containing
lanolin, will help soften the skin and
make the wrinkles less apparent. OF
course, what you need most is to build
up flesh so that the skin will lie firm
and smooth on face and neck. Nothing
YOU put on the outside can build flesh,
but general improvement in your
health will bring about the desired re-
suit. BY following your doctors In
Structions on diet and other matters you
can build yourself up. A gentle patter-
ing massage will help stimulate the cir
culation on face and neck. As you be-
come stronger you may take neck-bend-
ing exercises also, and give yourself a
weekly facial treatment. The oil facial
pack would be suitable. Mix equal parts
of olive oil and tissue cream and heat
them gently. Dip piece of clean gauZe
in the mixture and lay it over your face,
after having cleansed the skin thor
oughly. Leave it on for half an hour.
Remove the mask and sponge the skin
with skin tonic. LOIS LEEDS.
