prince; II must leave it tn you" The
President said the school item was the

he let it thunder over the prince and

Century-Old Temple
Observing Anniversary

The historic Temple of Valhalla, in
Germany, whose corner stones were laid
by King Ludwig of Bavaria exactly 100
years ago, celebrates this month an
eventful century. Standing majes-
tically upon q wooded hill above the
blue Danube near Regensburg, this
white aged marble temple resembles
that of the famed Parthenon. Valhalla
Temple had its inception in German
history when King Ludwig conceived
the idea of a memorial temple to the
great Germans in 1907, during the Ma
poleonic occupation of the country, al
though it was not until % years later
that actual work on the temple was be-
gun. The then mighty monarch per-
sonally chose the site and named the
temple Valhalla. More than 100 memo
rial busts are displayed in the main
hall of the temple commemorating ia
nous men and women in German his

the committee a petition of several
hundred signatures of persons who
urged favorable action on the bill.
The committee deferred action on the
measure after hearing DR.. Held.

School Feuds.

1t is easier to start a school feud than
1t Is to settle it once 1t is on full speed.
Somebody makes a nose IN the class
room The inexperienced teacher de-
mands to know who it was that made
that noise. There is no answer to her
repeated demands. Nobody knows when
she begins asking each IN turn, who
did it?" Nobody did it when she asks
each in turn, Did you do it?'
Then the teacher makes the fatal
mistake. Every one Of you is to blame
You know who made that noise and
you won't tell. You are all dishonest
and every one Of you will get zero in
conduct for today"
The good child who has never had a
bad mark since the first school day
bows her head and weeps aloud. Then
she walls. She sobs and cries hySter-
ically Her friends and companions join
in. Shifts and signs fill the air. The
boys shuttle their feet and grumble. No
more work is done that morning
The children go home at recess full
Of the tale Of injustice. The story takes
on color and scope. Soon it becomes a
battle Of did and didn't. Sides are
taken for the teacher and against
Complaints and hearings and corner
meetings and general upsetness
throughout the neighborhood puts the
terms work at standstil. All for
what?
A teacher made q mistake in school
management. When a noise is made in
a classroom, even disturbing noise, the
teacher makes no remark about it, d.
reefs the children'S attention toward
their work in silence If possible, starting
new lesson If that seems better. The
noise will take care of itself il the work
OF the class room is what it ought to be.
The occasional misf1t pupil can be
handled without disturbing the life of
the village, without stopping the prog
ress of the whole class.
The parents can do their share When
a school error shows itself instead of
listening earnestly and questioning Gag
erly, hear the story through and then
without saying that the teacher is al
ways right, without taking sides in any
way, direct the chiidren'S thoughts to
the importance of their work. II the
story needs investigating do 80 privately.
Think what it costs to take q whole
school session for discovering who
coughed loudly. Think how much 1t
costs in time and money and energy to
hold school meetings, make speeches,
stir up neighborhood feeling because
somebody worked an injustice TO q child
Nobody should work an injustice on a

while. Shall we stop work and Zap
our arms about our heads? Or shall we

on a plane of intelligence where CO.
operation, clear reasoning, foresight and
wisdom are possible?
Teachers do not start out to work In
justice on any pupil. Sometimes an
earnest, conscientious young teacher
makes a mistake in judgment. Help
her by pointing out the mistake and
showing a way out, but don't start a
school feud because Jour child has been

SPRINCTIME
Call of Blue-Jay.
BY d. C. PEATTE.

Those Of us who were not Washing
ton-born (and few Washingtonians are
really native sons or daughters) are
not surprised to hear the returning
blue-jay's call. Perhaps few Of US
have a certain slight homesick longing
for some other place some childhood
long ago, whenever he calls. But II
you spent your youth in a place where
blue jays are as common as sparrowS
and thrice as noisy and thieving, you
are apt to forget that the man or
woran, boy or girl, who has always
lived in the District does not take the
blue-jay for granted.
For them he is an exciting bird Of
passage, who neither winters nor sum-
merS here as a rule, but for a short
time in Spring flies with almost tropic
splendor, flash of brilliant blue, trail
ing on the air behind the species that
Anger and reproach are the COM
moneSt emotions that we associate with
him. but when Master Jay is In love
he can MARBLE very soft and low, and
when he is simply content and feeling
jolly he has a magical cry that sounds
a little like "Brink-abrillll!" This is
one OF the most delightful sounds in
all our American woodland setting, and
is, indeed, so sweet and merry that
many people never suspect that the
jaw that flies into rage at your faint
est approach is the singer.
/ love the blue-jay more, now that
l know him In the District avifauna.
With his crow-like rapacity Che is kin

movement, as something big and patri-
otto. He talks about building up the
Nation, when what he's doing Is selling
the best bill Of goods he knows how.
Women don't do that sort of thing
much. Women are much more real
than men. You don't find woman phi
losophers because philosophers are peo-
pie who deal only with words No,
women are too sensible to be philoso-
piers Instead they take hold of the
problem before them and do what they
can with it. They let the men do the
talking about it.
But women aren't superhuman. They
have their way Of getting away from
troubles, too. Where men take refuge
In big words and in playing q part,
women take refuge in illness. When
a woman finds that she can't get what

you will probably end by buying IS
many Of that sort as you can afford,
for every day as well as for special oc-
casions. And If you have bought one
of the severer sorts of dresses without
the becoming lingerie touch you will
find yourself wishing that something
could be done to make it more attrac-
tive.
Today's sketch shows a dainty jabot
neck trimming that you can quite cas-
lily make from lace, silk, georgette, fine
linen or batiSte, with narrow lace edg-
ing If you like. It Is made from one
strip of material inches long and 3
inches wide at the widest part. 1t Is
pointed at one end as you see in the
diagram, and tapers to a narrow finish
at the other end, where 1t Is attached
to the neckline. Then there are two
other pieces of the same material each
4 inches long and inches wide, which
are gathered up and slipped undsr the
long tab to make little butterfly frills
ct either side.
Unless you can afford great many
dresses and can send them to the
cleaner quite frequently, 1t Is best TO
examine any you buy ready-made quite
carefully before buying them TO see
whether the light lingerie or silk cum
and collar and yoke or vestees can be
removed for frequent cleaning or
whether they are securely sewed to the
dress. Remember that facings and

come out q brownish black with q
bronze tint. 1t seems odd that this
should have happened. as the dress was
a very light blue to begin with. Would
you suggest redyeing the dress with

question from "A READER"
You probably overdyed the material,
as overdyeing with black causes the
material to take on a bronze black tone.
When using dyes 1t is important never
to use too much. Always follow direc-
lions given for the type Of dye used.
The best way to remove the excess dye
is by washing the dress in hot water TO
which q little ammonia has been added.
You could not hope to remedy the diff

Salad dressings made from

fruits make delicious filings for

To remove lime which accumu-

rinse thoroughly before putting
