LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

Pop was smoking and thinking and
ma sed, If Gladdis izZent careful she'll
spoil that grandchild of ours, Willyum.
A child shouldn't be given everything
it cries for, that's the ferst fundamental
of the essentials of child raising, she
sed.
A Child shouldn't be given anything
it cries for. that's the A B c and the
entire book Of rules, pop sed. Any
child that cries without stummick
axe Is an abomin2tion and a pest and
ccnfounded nuisants, and 10 times
out of 8 its the parents fault, he sed.
That's precisely my outlook on the
subject and that's eXackly what told
Gladdis and in fact 1 proved it to her,
ma sed. This afternoon Willie wunted
a lump of sugar and Gladdis gave him
lump as a reward for pronouncing
the werd sugar at his age, wtch was
altogether naturel and quite well and
good, and then he wunted another
lump and when he found he couldent
get it by peaceful meens he started to
cry for it. In fact he started to howl
for it, and when that child howis its
no nneer play on verbs because he's
| rely got an exceptional set of lungs,
SO Glsddis gave him another lump to
restore little order, and that's where
she made her mistake, because each
| cally started up bowling again until
Gladdiss equally automatically handed
him another lump of sugar Is that
any way to bring up a child, ma sed
The question when brawt to a vote
was ansered in the negative, pop sed
Meening no. and ma sed, OF corse it's
not and / proved it TO Gladdis rite
| there and then. The next time Willie
started to howl, wich was practically
immeeditly, I spoke to him quite
sharply, sed to him, Now Willie, that
will do, you'll get more sugar when you
stop crying and not before. Well, the
result was he stopped like magic and
promptly gave him another lump,
| and after that each and every time he
howled gave him to understand that
he would get another peece the mo-
ment he stopped. In other werds, al
| though in the end gave him as many
peeces as Gladdis had given him,
was rewarding him for being coed and
not for being bed, wich is far different

And the moral Is, o sugar, pop sed
And he got behind the sporting page
and stayed there.

BIZ BETSY cALLIsrER.

I have a canvas hammock that is In
good condition, only rather dingy look
ing. would like to paint it, If this Is
possible. Will you tell me what sort of
paint? Will you also tell me what to do
to keep brushes in good condition after
they have been used? QUERY.
You should have no trouble in paint
ing your hammock with good results.
Use rich, dark color. preferably green.
Your paint dealer may be able to sug-
gest the best sort of paint. Otherwise
use any paint that you would for porch
furniture and thin it with gasoline so
as to make 1t penetrate the canvas.
Paint on both sides.
If you are going to use the brushes
the next day, keep them in a pail of
water. Painters often tie the brushes
to stick and hang them over q. pail of
water so as to imlnerse the bristles
without letting them touch the bottom
Il they are not going to be used for some
time, soak the brushes well in turpen-
tine and when. clean wash thoroughly
in warm. soapy water. Rinse .snd hang
up to dry. Then wrap in tissue paper
and let them lie fiat, so that the bristles
will not be bent If brushes have been
used for shellac, you will have to clean
them in wood alcohol. plsoE
II would like to know how to make
soap jelly to use for washing clothes,
etc. have several jars made from odds
and ends of soap--toilet soap and
kitchen soap-and would be glad to
make use of them" writes r. M.
First wash the scraps of soap, to be
sure that they are clean. Then sort
them so that IN one assortment you
have no perfuned soap. Then shred
them into saucepan, add one pint of
water to every quarter pound Of the soap
shayings. Put over a low flame to melt
but do not allow to boil. Stir frequently
to make smooth mixture. If you like,
you may add little borax-not more
than half teaspoonful to a pint of
water. Remove any scum that rises.
After it is well melted and smooth, let
cool little, and then pour into a jar.
The perfumed soap chips should be
melted separately and may be poured
into small jars to be used in the bath
room.

that. If you prefer safety. then you
must not take chances
You can't have everything. Either
you must leave your job and take a
chance, or you must stick to your lob
and be safe. Whichever you do, you
must make up your mind TO like It,
because that's the way your character
Is built. and it's no use struggling
against the walls Of that character.
There are people who say that we
have whole series of lives ahead OF US
in the future. In these future lives
We are going to do all the things we
haven't been able to do in this pres
ent life. It's a fascinating idea, even
If it is not so.
In this present life we are made
according TO certain pattern. and
we have to live according 70 that pat
tern. We must figure out what sort
of thing fits us best, and try TO pro-
coed that way. You can't be both safe
and daring; you can't be both free
and sure.
Don't leave your job If you're going
to get nervous prostration with worry
about new one. Don't stay in your
job II change is like tonic TO you.

Getting Most Out of Money.

When you hear a woman boast about
he's bonk balance it may be time to ask
her, Are you getting the most out of
your money!" Probably 2 per cent is
the average rate of interest paid on
checking accounts. The woman with
an account that is far in excess of her
needs is wasting an earning oppor-
tunity. Usually savings accounts pay
almost twice the rate Of interest avail
able on checking accounts. Still other
investments offer more.
The point Is that money tied up In
ways that do not offer the maximum
profits to its possessor is money uneco-
nomically employed. The usual rate
for small loans at banks is per cent
On larger loans the rate may be lower
but in every case it is the aim of the
banker to realize the highest return
possible. Frequently easily marketable
securities offer him higher return than
commercial loans. Every bank has some
such investments.
OF course, our needs for cash may
vary. Some persons need a cash re-
serve to meet regular needs; others
have little or no need for more than a
minimum reserve. They are we'll stu
ated TO put their money into securities
that offer high returns on their money
There is no reason why they cannot
realize as much interest on their money
as the banker

Duchesse Ham.

Toast lightly some thin slices Of
bread. Cut them into medium sized
rounds with cooky cutter, or they may
be left plain or cut into fancy shapes.
Place slice of baked, boiled or sauted
ham on the bread, cut about the same
size. On the ham place thin slice Of
pineapple. smaller IN size than the toast
and which has been Drowned or Sauted
in butter and brown sugar. Whipped
white potatoes or sweet potatoes may
be attractively piped around the edge
of the toast, or when the serving is
placed on the plate rosettes of the po-
tatoes may be arranged at three equal
spaces around the serving. If rewarm-
ing is necessary. place side by side in
pan and heat in a moderate oven for
few minutes. This makes an attractive
serving

Free or Safe !!

Years ago when girl asked me
how to succeed in business 1 told her:
BE yourself. Change your job often.
Keep free" Having lived a few years
since then, I realize now that that adj
vice was not good.
In the first place know there are
no rules for making success. We
must make our own method fit our
own personality.
In the next place, I know there's
no such thing as success.

Yellow Wing Has a Rival
Rivalry is but a test.
Bringing out the worst or best.

In the heart of Yellow Wing the
Flicker angry jealousy was for the
time being crowding cut love. For days
he had been telling Mrs. yellow Wing
how much he loved her and had been
showing of, that she might see him
at his very best. She had given him
little enough encouragement, hut that
was because she was teasing him. 1t
was because she loved to see him
show OF. She was teaSing him in
order that he would keep on showing
OF and making love to her. All the
time yellow Wing had felt sure that
in her own good time she would ac-
cept his attentions and return them,
and that later they would make a
home together
Now Yellow Wing wasn't so sure He
had a rival. Another Flicker, a hand
some fellow, had appeared and was
trying to win the love of Mrs. Yellow
Wing. Yes, sir, that is just what had
happened. So Yellow Wing was angry
because he was jealous. TEE other
Flicker was just as jealous. However,

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Often we forget that depositing OF
investing money is the Individual.
method Of Lending Naturally, one will
lend to the person, persons or company
that offer the highest rate of interest
for the privilege of putting ones money
to productive use. The difference be-
tween 2 and per cent on $1,000 for
one year Is 5000.
On higher amounts the difference is
proportionately greater. A few deposit
tors have deceived themselves about the
compound interest account. Compound
interest at per cent is not much more
than an annual rate of per cent at the
end of year. Straight interest at 4
per cent compounded quarterly or semi
annually is appreciably more.
These facts are vital to the person
who desires to get the most out OF
money-and who does not? Two hun
dred dollars per year constitutes a diff
ference in ones capital of $4,000 in 10
years. The $4,000 extra are to be had
for the slight trouble of placing ones
money where it offers one the greatest
return. Study your own situation and
get the most out of your money.

best to win the admiration and love

Her eyes sparkled, and while she tried
to appear bored and wholly Indifferent
she was quite thrilled. furthermore, she
was beginning to doubt. She had all
along thought that there was no one

destructive" the commit ee reported
In millions Of cases today the assessed
value equals or exceeds the, actual
market value"
Figures were cited to show that tax
delinquenctes have risen sharply since
1920 in some States. This was said to
be accompanied In many districts with
a practical breakdown of the machinery

Inequality OF assessments added 10
the burden on real estate and ON small
homes particularly, the committee
found. In Chicago, the range OF assess
ment for q number Of properties studied
In 1927 was found to be from to 100
per cent Of their sale value.
SPECIFIC recommendations of the
committee are:
/. Improve the administration of the
present tax laws by correcting the bias
of assessments against small homes and
by improving the assessment of tangible
personal property.
Impose State taxes on stocks
bonds and similar intangible personal
property.
'3-1mpose progressive personal In
come tax In most Of the States in which
such a tax is not now in force, provided
IL be accompanied by effective measures
to check public expenditures and ad-
ministered by assessors appointed on the
basis of merit and subject to State d.
rection and control.
4-Create other revenues, such as in
come taxes on corporations and insti-
tute fees for special benefits to individ-
uals which are now furnished at the
public expense.
The steps proposed are all aimed at
relieving certain taxpayers by shifting
part Of their burden to others. and ex-
tension of some relief to all by reduc-
ton Of public expenditures.
