seem quite right unless there
were a Christmas tree some
where! And we were thrilled
at discovering those most origi-
nal tree candles. Sketched at
each end of the table! They're
wax all over, even the base
eliminating any fuss over
whether they'll fit your candle
sticks or not! True to Christ
mas colors, the tree part is
green; the base and candle,
red. About $1.00 each Is what
they cost.
Go Off With a Bang
A Christmas dinner isn't a
real party without snappers!
Everyone knows what hilarity
they inspire. The crack Of the
crackers, caps perched at odd
angles on everyone's head, the
finding of some silly trinket,
and then foolish notices to be
read out loud!
And perhaps we had Christ
mas trees still on our minds,
having. just bought the candles,
but at any rate, we found our
selves selecting these snapperS
that we've sketched at each
place. The little jagged trees
are green, the rest is all in

Gay table decorations and at

way towards making the event
a grand success! So yesterday
we decided to look around and
see what we could find to dress
our table up! Well, we found
such marvellous things that we

Then there has to be a favor
filled with candy, too. At the
left of each place you'll see a
snowman First a tall thin
one, then a fat round one-both
wearing big black hats.
The thin one has such a
comical expression that we
laughed out loud when we came
across him! He has on a red
flannel shirt which just matches
his delightful berry nose. No
one would mind paying $3.50
for him. The fat one makes a
good contrast. He's just about
$1.00. And he strongly re-

are not there merely as a form

which can be found and should
be pulled! For on the end Of
each is a funny little present.

There will always be such

"but don't forget us; we are
here, too. And there's a lot of
people think as we do. Most
of them, probably. Ever since
then-you know, since Ludwig

conclusion that everybody can
do something in his own way,
even though he may h ave
nothing but a turnip for a

next week, and I'll have to go
back to the village as a school

I'm positively glad of it. I
mean to teach my youngsters
what their Fatherland really is
Their homeland, that is, not
a political party. Their home

Your Health
And Diet
By FAY KING

We all owe one immense debt
to deaf children-they gave us
the telephone. The first inter-
est Alexander Bell had in life
was not electricity but lip read
ing. His father was a teacher
of elocution. The son became
very successful in teaching lip
reading to children. When he
came to Boston from England
his first work was to help
teachers of the deaf in that
city to use his system, which
had been so successful.
His invention of the telephone
was the direct outcome of his
interest in phonetics. He often
said it was the result more Of
his knowledge of speech than
his knowledge of electricity.
If we owe such a debt, ow
are we going to pay it? One
way is by helping to educate
children handicapped by Gim1-
lion of. hearing.
School Heads Learned
How are we going to find
such children? They must be
scarce.
So thought the heads of
schools in Washington, D. c., q
few years ago. Two expert
teachers of lip reading offered
to teach a demonstration class
of children in lip reading. The
authorities thought that the
experiment would not pay, be-
cause they had only eight pu-
pills in the schools who needed
the course. But a scientific in
vestigation was made and 1,400
pupils were found in the ele-
mentary grades alone.
How do you detect the hard
of-hearing child? The child it.
self does not know it is deaf.
It does not realize it is any diff.
ferent from any other child. It
has never had good hearing, so
it doesn't know what bad hear
ing is. The parents, the teach
ers do not realize it's plight.
You may suspect it when q
child has to repeat a grade in
school. If the child seems dull
and dreamy. If it does not join
the other children at play.

One out of eight children, it
has been estimated, has some
degree of impairment of hear.
ing.
After detection, of course,
comes treatment. Sometimes
this is very simple. Many chill
dren are apparently badly hand.
icapped only for the reason
that they have wax hardened in
the external ear. It is aston
ishing how often this occurs
without being realized. Nor is
it always easy to remove. Not
infrequently when the condition
is of long standing it requires
several days of effort and treat
notwithstanding the wax first,
and removing it gently so as
not to injure the delicate struc-
lures nearby.
