Education Leads in Chicago.
In Chicago, the largest share Of phi
lanthropy goes to education. DR.. Todd
said that one-fourth to one-third Of the
charitable contributions for current
needs and one-half of the capital en-
dowments go to health agencies. One
fourth of the total goes to family service
agencies. Chtldren's agencies get less
than 20 per cent of the total and
building agencies about the
same.
Taxes and Social Welfare.
1.-THE question frequently is raised, y
he said, Gas to how much comes out Of
taxes for charitable and philanthropic
purposes. President Hoover's Committee
on Recent Economic Changes estimated
that 1880, 900, 900 a year came out Of
taxes for social welfare. I believe such
an estimate Is much too low, but nobody
knows.
It is extremely important that this be
known, however so that we can deter
mine whether we should depend largely
upon public takes or private funds for
Philanthropic work.
Much more work needs to be done
in social sciences to get at the results
Of various types of giving, such as the
dole. public aid for mothers, social in
sNrance, industrial pensions and the
like. The university must explore the
frontiers CT knowledge and place the
results of their research at the dis
posal Of the philanthropic public"

cree and Orders Alimony.

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat Of
District Supreme Court has refused to

Max A. Meyers, Veterans Bureau en-
ploye, Of 507 Decatur street, In limited
divorce proceedings alleging desertion
and non-support brought against him
by Maude Meyers, 1923 u street south

Alimony on the ground he no longer
was her husband and exhibited a d.
vorce decree granted him In Alexandria
June 80, 1880.
Through Attorney Godfrey L. Munter,
Mrs. Meyers commended this decree was
illegal because her husband went to

tual resident Of Virginia.
The chief justice sustained the con-
tention and ordered the husband to pay
alimony to the wife for the care of the

Two-Strand Form of Necklace
BY MARY MARSHALL.

A friend Of mine announced the
other day that she had made really
worthwhile discovery. She had hit
upon the idea Of using old violin
strings to restring her beads and she
thought the idea was so good that 1t
ought to be passed on. The only
trouble with that idea is that so few
Of us have old violin strings-and
almost all of us have old strings of
beads that we might restring to ad-
vantage.
Some people use dental floss for
the purpose, but really the best thing
to do is to buy the floss or string
that is sold st almost any notion de-
partment expressly for that purpose
You should also get special sort Of
needle for the work which usually
comes with the package of string.
Two-strand necklaces are much liked
nowadays and, if you have long
string of beads that you would like to
put in more practical form, why not
make 1t into one of these two-Strand
necklaces? The first strand may be
a little longer than choker length and
the other just enough longer so that
when worn the second string hangs
q half inch below the shorter string at
the neck.
It is quite true that some women
still wear the single strand choker
but as q usual thing the two-strand

WStumpy Loses Patience.
Zen patience sorely tried may lead
To temper lost and angry deed.
Old Mnthar NafurA

Trader the Wood Rat was having the
time of his life. Each night he visited
the old cabin whsre Farmer Brown S
Boy and Stumpy were staying, and was
very busy. In the morning the first
thing Farmer Browns boy did was to
look to see what Trader had been doing.
One morning he found a pocket in his
coat filled with bits of bark, and an
other morning when Stunipy went to
pull on a boot he found it half filled
with small, empty cones. But when
Farmer Browns boy went to put his
trousers on and found thu buttons all
neatly cut off and nowhere to be found
he decided that Trader was getting al
together the best of the trading.
There was no time to hunt for the
missing buttons that morning, as an
all-day trip had been planned. The
buttons were not necessary, anyway, for
he had belt. 1t was late in the after
noon when they returned tired and
hungry. Stumpy hustled about getting
dinner
Where did you put the spoons?" he
asked.
IN a cup on the table, replied Far
mer Browns Boy.
Then Stunpy exploded. They're
gone" said he $50 are the forks. That
drafted Rat has been busy while we
have been away. A joke may be a joke,
but I like 1t best when 1t is on the
other fellow. Come on"
Where are you going?" asked Farm
er Browns Boy. still not quite sensing
StuInpy's remarks.
ITO get them spoons and forks and
buttons and anything else we've lost
but amt missed yet, replied Stumpy
grim1y.
He led the way to Traders collection
of odds and ends and began to tear
apart the big heap. He tossed the stuff
right and left. for he had quite lost his
temper. A spoon was the first thing
found. Then another spoon and the
forks. Stumpy grunted each time bit
of their property was recovered The
pebbles and shells ware all there Then
Farmer Browns Boy saw something
shining of at one side and went to see
what il was.
What do you know about thisl" he
exclaimed. Here is my pocket knii

and I hadn't even missed it! That
scamp must have taken it out Of my
pocket"
IF that is all he took you are lucky"
grumbled Stumpy. Better look in that
rusty old can and see what is in that"
Farmer Browns Boy did so and
laughed aloud. MY missing buttons!"
he cried. And hare is dime and
.two-bit piece that look as if they have
been here for ages
BY two-bit piece he meant quar-
ter of a dollar Probably took 'em
from the last party that stayed in the
cabin" growled Stumpy, digging deeper
into the treasure heap. Here's strap
with buckle on it, and here's-by
guml If it amt pocket piece I lost
more'n year ago. Always did wonder
what became of it."
He held up much furnished Mexican
silver dollar with hole in it. Carried
that thing Tor years just for luck" he
explained. AiRemember now that I
stayed over night in this here cabin over
year ago and missed this thing the
next day. Thought must have pulled
1t out of my pocket without knowing 1t
and dropped it. Well, Mr.. Packrat.
reckon finding this pays for the trouble
you done made us. Guess there's moth
in more of value here, and dinner is
getting cold.
With their recovered property, they
returned to the cabin. After dinner
Stumpy repaired the door and then
stopped up all the holes. Reckon it's
time to put an end to tradin'," he ex-
planned grinnly.
But Farmer Browns Boy couldn't help
having feeling of sympathy for Trader
when he should discover how his treas
ure heap had been scattered And he
chuckled rs the thought of the funny
things that had happened because a
little fellow in fur had just had to trade.

The parents are small, four-winged
insects about one-sixteenth Of an inch

a white powder covers their wings and

like golden glow, calendula, lantana,
aster and columbine.

comes from the overfed suckers. The
honeydew gives blackened appearance

one OF the best ways to rid the plant
OF this pest. Two sprays may be need
