YOUR q CHILDREN

Should little children be sent to
 Sunday school, or as we say now, to
 a church school? For all creeds do not have their religious instruction
 on Sunday.
 can in all honesty give only
 one answer to this-yes.
 And yet there are people of deep religious faith who advocate wait ing until a child is older before set ting before him the profound prin- ciples of religion, arguing that a small child cannot grasp ideas of faith, God, and an ever-present in- visible power.
 Well, perhaps that is so. It may be that when his intelligence ma lures. his interpretation of these things will be different from his first babyish pictures. Our ideas of all things change, according to our own
 capacity to understand. Age never
 sees with the same eyes as youth. But we may as well say that we should wait for all things until ma turity takes place, that any prin-
 ciple of life and living is futile un- til we can understand.
 And after all. do we ever under stand? Don't we have to trust and have faith and remove from the
 boundaries of intelligence to a cer-
 tain extent those higher attributes and the spiritual forces within our selves without which we would be poor indeed?
 Practically all authorities on chil- dren now agree that every child | should be instructed in the religion of his forefathers." This ultimatum has behind it the recommendation of child specialists the world over. Experiences Change Ideas It makes. however, no prediction | for q child may, as I have said change his ideas according to his own experience later on. He may change his denomination, he may even change his creed, but there has been planted in his heart at the right
 time the reverence for a spirit. in | tionship between himself and that Spirit that will never change. | If children do not get this train ing, and a certain conception of all
 it implies when they are young 1t
 is going to be serious question about their getting it later on. It does happen but it is the exception
 mot the rule.
 | often think that the lines of "The
 Man Without q Country'-could
 have been written in another vein
 The man without q faith. without
 any uplook, without deep-seated
 reverence for a Great Power he does
 not profess to understand, has lost | his birthright indeed.
 And think it is the greatest l birthright we can give child-re- l ligiOus instructions; for it is the cor nerstone of character. Even if he
 seemingly gets away from it later on his own responsibility. he can never quite lose the influence of his early impressions. A man may deny his faith. yet deeD inside him some where. hidden away unsuspected, are
 the things he learned in his church when he was young.
 There is only one question that would make to all such instructors of small children and that is to try to bring little lessons to them simply | so that they can understand. They cannot understand everything. bu, , sometimes l think influence is lost

 KITCHEN

The training of a childs appetite is of utmost importance. Proper stat ing habits have direct bearing on his growth and health.
 Food that is too highly seasoned soon develops a taste and desire for rich flavors, and children become dissatisfied with simple, wholesome foods that promote growth and pro- vide nourishment.
 Very sweet dessert such as pie and cake have the tendency to take away the desire for vegetables and cereals and increase the appetite for more sweets. Little children who have never tasted over-sweet foods will not crave them and will be satisfied with the desserts suitable fo rthem.
 Every child should have some suitable sweet food to eat at the proper time. At the end of a meal. a reasonable amount of something sweet seldom has dis turbing effect and may be served

 Keeping makeup perfect is even more important in the evening than in the daytime. For if we must get down to practical reasons, evening is the romantic time, the time when young men find their hearts over flowing and their lips ready to pop the question. Therefore, be canny about this thing called beauty. If you can manage to have it when you come down the stairs to greet your escort before you leave for the par ty, see to it that you have enough makings along and enough thought for it in your mind to keep it with you until the party is all over and you are home again, getting ready for sleep.

Just as an evening gown should be glamorous, fattering, romantic, so an evening compact should be a thing of beauty.
 First, of all, of course, you must have the makings to repair your beauty between dances or between acts if you find that your makeup has left you.
 This includes rouge, lip-stick, powder, eye-shadow salve and eye brow pencil. Your powder likely as not will be quite a different tone from that in your daytime compact. for if you haven't tried out the new green, mauve and blue powders for evening wear, don't let another day pass until you do.
 Second, your evening compact and lip-stick should be beautiful to look at, an evening color, jewelled, or at least ornamcnted until it is in q class with the gems you wear.
 You do not need to pay thou- sand dollars for your evening com- pact. though l have seen them with precious jewels in them and plati- mum and ebony until they cost that and then some.
 It is taste you need in selecting your evening compact. not millions Tn the cheapest of stores you can often find just the right color to go with your new evening dress, slip pers and bag and you can fill it with your own rouge, powder. and other makings.
 Pastel colored evening compacts are quite the vogue and the white compact, with a touch of red or other shade, follows the vogue for the white gown with different col ored accessories.
 Once you have picked your com pact, do not check it with your car riage boots in the cloak room. You should contrive-if you have to make a pocket in the skirt of your

Sugar is valuable fuel food, but it's intense flavor and melting quality tend to satisfy the body are taken care of if eaten at the beginning of meal. Too much sugar at any time irritates the stom- ach and crowds out foods which fur nish building material as well as fuel.
 Junket Is an ideal dessert for small persons. Its simplicity and the small amount of sugar needed to make it palatable make it quite perfect for very small children.
 Fruit gelatines. ices and ice creams can be used for children's desserts. Rich frozen buildings should not be given to small chil- dren. A plain frozen custard made of milk and eggs and junket ice cream are the best types of frozen "cream" to serve.
 Fruits cooked for children should be those which take the minimum amount of sugar to make them palatable. Prunes are mildly acid but need only a little sweeten- ing. It is more desirable to use

Jack was still living at home, al- though he and his father were on opposite sides of the case of the state vs Theodore Merryman, ST. Thron- ton, Curtiss and Thornton, as at- torneys for the bank, were assist ing in prosecuting the case, and Jack was the defense for MT Merryman.
 MT Merryman's honor and Jacks legal reputation were both at stake. Sue, watching the days creep around until the case should be opened, had queer breathless sensations now and then. She dreamed at night that her father had been condemned and was in prison and she couldn't reach him.
 The plot was almost diabolic, it seemed to her-one which someone had arranged in order to send her father to prison. And she kept wish ing that somehow something could be fastened on Sybil
 Sue had always been slender but now she was very thin. She had noticed, too, that Corrinne was thinner. Her dark eyes seemed to burn in her face like two dark holes and her laughter was seldom. Sue realized that she missed the eager merriment of it. She decided to ask Harry if Corrinne was ill.
 But Harry just shook his head.
 No, she's all right. I guess" You guess? But haven't you mo- ticed how quiet she seems?" "Not especially" And he had changed the conversation and gone away without referring to Cor rinne again.
 Corrinne had balanced up her checking account the night follow ing her chance encounter with Har- ry. She had hoped that she would have enough money to carry her through the days of her fathers s trial. She disliked depending on Har- rvs generosity, and she didn't want to go home to stay. She refused to borrow from Sarah.
 But she had to have some money. And the only way to get it was to get a job. She decided that she would disguise herself and apply for a | clerking position. In chest, out at the house which was no longer her home, was blond wig which she had worn to masquerade once. The hair was soft and golden, and clustered in curls at the nape of her neck. She would not be recog-
 nized, she told herself. There were

 Baked fruits such as apples and bananas, slightly sweetened GUS

 not develop appetites for sweets in | preference to the staple nourishins foods.
 A dab of whipped cream on any plain dessert will glorify it enough | to make it acceptable for a festive occasion when the family dessert is | not suitable for small members.

artificial golden eyebrows which went with the wig and would help in the transformation.
 Corrinne didn't know if anyone was living in the house or not. Harry might have stayed on, she figured, instead of going to his home or club. Late in the afternoon she drove out to the holse, parked her car down dirt road a few hundred feet away. and slipped around to a side door. It was nearly dark and she didn't think she would be noticed.
 Her key fitted and she went in. The house was warm and friendly. Rose lamps cast soft lights across the long rooms. Harry was still liv- in there apparently.
 There was sense of peace and security. Yes, and luxury, she ad- mitted, that was 500 thinng. But she couldn't wait. She must hurry up- stairs and get the wig before Harry came. He must never find her here. She opened the door into her old room, half afraid that she might find Harry there. She noticed his brushes on the dresser; and sud- denly little choking sound came into her throat His things were still scattered among the crystal and sil- yer jars and boxes that she had left.
 But she much hurry, hurry. hurry, and find the wig.

CORN INSTEAD OF COAL
 TO RE USED AS FlJEI

Buenos Aires. (SIPA)-Corn may replace coal as a fuel for several of Argentina's most important in- dustries as well as for the railroads Critica points out that as a result of exhaustive study and tests, it has been found that whereas imported coal costs SIP per ton. Corn makes an excellent fuel.
 Corn is particularly suitable for railroad consumption, owing to it's cheapnesS, the accessibility of sources of supply and it's relative ease in handling. The use of corn as fuel would not only reduce railroad costs. but would relieve the situation of the farmers. Surplus supplies would be removed from the market and stareg space would be freed for the new crop.

Depreciation in Marriage Bonds
A man begins to look interest
ing to the gold-diggers just
about the time he gets so fat or
so bald that his wife secretly
wonders what she ever saw
about him to make her think
him romantic.
Marriage, in the opinion of
the sophisticated younger gen.

from courtShip.
Women at weddings used to
look at the innocent bride and
weep. Now they merely cast
cryptic glanceS of yelled pity at
the bridegroom-and smile.
The woman who sues for a
hundred thousand dollars for
the alienation of a philandering
husbands affections should be
arrested for profiteering.
There is probably more pet
ting and less counting in the
world today than ever before in
history. CourtShip is an art,
which requires time, technique,
discrimination and enthusiasm.
