But, however, he may be classed,
George" as he usually was addressed,
enjoyed a position in Washington al
most without parallel.
His physique was strangely like the
Presidents. The powerful torso on
long, slender legs has more than once
caused him to be mistaken for his chief.
They say that during his days as a
student he discharged the duties which
faced him with such speed that his
classmates gave him the nickname of
Breeze" At the White House he dis
played that same characteristic. His
agility was surprising, and he was a
demon for work.
Once a successful newspaper man
himself, he was popular with members
of his profession not only in the Capital,
but elsewhere. He treated all alike,
whether he was the representative of
big metropolitan daily or a reporter on
a smaller publication.
One of the most intimate glimpses
the writer ever got of Akerson was in
the stuffy room of a small-town hotel
during the time of the Mississippi flood
in 1927, when he accompanied Herbert
Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce,
on an inspection of the flooded areas.
He had just concluded a press con-
ference in which he had detailed the
activities of the Hoover party during a
particularly arduous day.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The following wise and sensible letter
came in answer to recent plea OF mine
for ways of budgeting a mothers time
so that she can devote some of it to
playing with the children. instead of
just working for them. Mrs. z. G. D.
writes:
II have three children-one Az, the
other 21a and a baby of 3 months.
Here Is the way manage: We have no
definite playtime, for we play most OF
the time. The two older children play
together quite well, but 1 have to be
alert to suggest something when they
are bored or disagree. They are keenly
house, whether bathing the baby or
cooking the meals, and 1 usually keep
up running commentary, explaining
every operation. Why baby needs cod
liver OIL why the cake batter needs
baking powder, why polish polishes and
ad infinitum. No quiz at college ever
required the trigger replies my son de-
mands of me. He wants to know what
! am reading, what the roto pictures
say. where is BeauvaiSe, France. and If
it is the clouds in the sky that are
white.
II usually start the children on their
indoor play, but their concentration is
limited, and soon they are back at me.
OF course, not continually, for that
WOAl0 Dc WedTlSOIHe, MY
tasks I am able to accompany with
chatter.
Our income permits a maid, but I
preferred to let the children see what
housework means. We are too prone to
deSpiSe common phenomena. We spend
years in school and prattle about chem
ical reactions and never give a thought
to the complicated chemistry of the
kitchen.
II do not offer these suggestions as an
open sesame. Having two little tots be-
side them at the kitchen table would
probably madden some women. But it
is important to me that the children
respect my work and know that it de-
mands a high degree of skill.
II break one rule, for let daddy play
with the children at night, joyously and
hard. We sing and march and do
stunts, and all is very noisy and jolly
and beautiful. The children are IN
bed by 1880 or earlier, and I could not
deprive my husband of this JOY"
This is really not SO much playing
with children as a method of education
But, at any rate. education is as enjoy
able as any game when administered in
this manner. If the children suffer no
disadvantages from an evening playtime,
there are none. If the playtime units
the child for restful sleep afterward I
am sure your husband would be the
first one to deprive himself of this pleas
ure. Since there are no such results,
there Is no reason to consider that you
are breaking any rules.

One of the pleasant after Christmas
tasks that fall to the lot of the woman
who was the recipient of the table linen
or other household linens or of fine
lingerie, is the embroidering of initials
TO mark the pieces. Some women are
sufficiently expert draughtsmen to draw
their own letters, but the vast majority
of women get letters already designed.
1t Is for these letter workers that the
two styles of alphabets for initiating are
suggested today.
The first to be discussed are old Eng
hsh initials. These are designed to be
crosS-stitched or worked in filet crochet
and inset. Two letters come together
except @ and v. They are coupled as
follows:
Alb, CD, Eff, Oh, u, K-L,
Mn, O-P, @, Rs, T-U, v, W-X,
T-Z.
The alphabet has been designed espe-
cially for readers of this paper and is
available by sending in cents in stamps
for each couple in the grouping as given
The letters @ and v are coupled Please
tncloSe a self-addreSSed and stamped
envelope with the 5 cents and your re-
quest and direct to Lydia LIE Baron Wal

has been many times pronounced the
most beautiful of any Old English let
tering designed for embroidery.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Through Adversely.

eff thou faint in the day of ad-
versity, thy strength is small. Prov
David represents a proud man of the
world as saying, II shall not be moved
for shall never be in adversely" Once
David himself, in day of high pros
perity, boastfully said, Il shall never
be moved" A little back that was
pretty much the attitude of prosperous
proud America. We were boasting OF
our prosperity and wealth. We thought
nothing could move us-that we would
never be in adversely again.
Usually adversely is blessing in dis
guiSe, both for nations and individuals
Adversely Is a school in which we all
need some training. When reduced by
adverse fortune, a man forgets the lofty
tone and supercilious language of pros
perity. Want kills wantonneSs. Poverty
kills pride. Adversely teaches us to be
more humble, more sympathetic, more
kindly, more brotherly. 1t serves to
test our honor and manhood.
If man Is never tried by misfortune
he hardly knows whether he is honest
or not, and he never knows how much
of a man he is. He that has never
known adversely is but half acquainted
with himself. Nor is he more than half
acquainted with the world. Success
shows us one side of the world; ad-
versity brings out the reverse of the
picture.
A primary lesson is that there is
nothing stable in human affairs. And
this ought to teach us several things.
1t ought to teach us to avoid both I'M
due elation in prosperity and undue
depression in adversely. 1t ought to
teach us the folly of self-suf11ciency and
also the folly of placing ourselves at
the mercy of earthly things This
should make us realize that our only
sure confidence is that declared by the
psalmist when he said, Because I have
set the Lord before me, I shall not be
moved"

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
Apples.


Apples are among our most useful
Winter fruits They are reasonable, they
are wholesome, they are delicious. We
may, however, get tired of them in the
more usual ways. So we ought to serve
them in variety.
Now, for most of us, raw apples are
wholesome. There are some persons,
doctors say, who cannot eat raw ap-
Piles with any degree of comfort. They
really find raw apples indigestible, or
distressing. These persons, of course,
should avoid raw apples. But most
persons find them wholesome enough.
So, once a week or so raw apples for
breakfast are very good thing.
Baked apples are good several times
week. If you like them for breakfast,
lunch or dinner, only they must be
varied. You can pack the core holes
with raisins before baking, if you wish.
Or you may thrust pitted whole prune
| into the core cavity before baking. Or
you may put peanuts into the core cav
ity. That seems more like a luncheon
dessert, perhaps, than a breakfast be-
! ginner.
| Another way to cook apples for
! breakfast is to put a small sausage into
| the core cavity Of an apple ready for
! baking and then bake until tender.
Apple sauce is always good. If your
apples don't cook into a nice, smooth
sauce, put it through vegetable press
| to make 1t smooth and lumpleSS. Some
times serve it hot, with plenty of
| freshly grated nutmeg on top. Some
times season it with cinnamon and
serve it very cold.
| Sometimes stew the apples instead of
making them into sauce-that is, cut
them into slices, after quartering them,
and stew them gently so that they
won't lose their shape Sweeten suf-
ficiently so that there will be plenty
of juice, but don't make a sauce of
them. Serve hot or cold. You can flavor
stewed apples with little grated lemon
peel and serve two big stewed prunes
| with tablespoonful of this stewed APP
pie for a delicious breakfast dish.

he had started for his room saying that
at last he would have opportunity for
some rest, when reporter for the local
paper struggled in and began shooting
questions at him.
Patiently and carefully Akerson went
over the ground he had just covered in
the conference. He left out nothing,
and it was almost a half hour before
he got away for that promised rest.
He has a thorough musical education,
and although his piano frequently re-
mains untouched for weeks, he is ever
willing to switch from a discussion of
politics and national problems to talk
