HIGHWAY PATROL OF
100 is RECOMMENDED

Increasing the State Highway Hat
rol from 35 to 100 men is urged by
Commissioner C. M. Babcock in the
biennial report of the Minnesota
Highway department. If authorize
ton is given for the increase, only
half of the new men will be added
this year, Mr.. Babcock states, and
the balance next year. The Legisla-
ture is asked to give the matter early
consideration, so that men may be
placed in training during the winter
and be ready for duty when heavy
traffic starts in the spring.
Mr.. Babcock points out that 35 men
cannot adequately cover the 1000
mile trunk highway system. This al
lows only one man for each 200
miles of trunk highway. Traffic con-
ditions on some of the more heavily
travelled routes made it necessary to
assign men to cover shorter stretch
es regularly, and the result has been
that some of the highways have been
visited only occasionally by the pa
trolmen. 81 believe work done dur
ing the two year period has demon
strated the usefulness of the patrol
and has also shown that a larger
number would be required if they are
properly to cover all trunk routes"
Mr.. Babcock asks that the police
powers of the men be broadened, but
opposes giving them general police
powers. The present law limits them
to the enforcement of the laws ere
lating to the use and operation of
motor and other vehicles upon trunk
highways" They cannot at present
arrest any passenger in a car except
the driver, nor pedestrian guilty of
disorderly conduct which endangers
traffic or impedes the enforcement of
the traffic laws. They do not even
have the power to arrest persons who
are damaging highway property.
They should have the power to make
arrests for all violations of the law
committed on the highways, includ-
ing the power to make arrests any
where in the state for such violations.
"Any enlargement of their powers
to include general criminal apprehen-
sion, would destroy their efficiency as
a traffic squad" Mr.. Babcock adds.

TAX COMMISSIONER TERMED
EASY MARK" BY CROOK

Gunner Bjornson, tax commission
er, had nasty experience while at
tempting a deed of kindness. An
aged, poorly dressed man entered his
office and said: "Say, my names is
Bjornson, too, and l need $500 for
bus fare to get home. If you will
loan it to me, and give me stamped
addressed envelope, Ill send it back
when l get home. Touched by his
plight Mr.. Bjornson gave it to him.
In a few days the envelope did come
back-but all it contained was this
note: "My name isn't Bjornson at
all, and you're just another easy
mark" the letter read. 81 got $3.50
in Minneapolis and $3.50 in st. Paul
from a bunch of other easy marks the
same way"

Variety in School Lunches
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

problem to prepare for fve-days-a-week
lunches.
It Is we'll to have a plan for these
little meals when they must take the
form Of the MONDAY repast. There
should be a hearty food, relish and
dessert, or what corresponds to It,. A
little fruit is welcome. and every child
Just what shall make up the hearty
item depends somewhat upon the age
OF the child as we'll as upon his or her
preferences. Some children delight In
sandwiches, while others do not care
much for them. Fortunately, most OF
them are satisfied with the sandwiches,
provided they are hearty and plentiful.
Substitutes for sandwiches are well
come at times and form variety. For
example. a meat pie will tempt, or an
individual ramekin Of meat and rice,
or rice, cheese, sweet pepper and bit
of pimento. Occasionally croquette
or a baked white potato stuffed with the
mashed white mixed with cooked
chopped meat or bacon. Har6-boiled
eggs will pail If put in the lunch box
often unless the yellow is dressed. Mix
melted butter, a few drops OF lemon
Juice. salt and pepper with the mashed
white When sliced meat forms the
filling for sandwiches a relish Is par
ticularly welcome.
Children's appetites for relishes vary
decidedly, so this has to be taken into
consideration when putting relishes
with lunches. For example, few little
folk like olives; some do, however. Dill
pickles are fancied by some, while
others like sour pickles. When there
is chicken to put in the box do not
take 1t from the bone, but put leg, a
wing or some ether portion in as it Is
and let the child have the fun of pick
ing the bone.
Fruit and bit of candy makes
dessert that most children like. also
cookies and cake Even jelly sand
witches can form this sweet portion of
the meal. especially If piece of fruit
supplements 1t. Dates and figs are
wholesome fruits not always in lunch
con plans. slice of pineapple be-
tween two sponge cookies is delicious.
1t is very important to have lunches
vary from day to day as much as posi-
BILE, because the mixed diet Is now
agreed upon as the one on which per-
sons thrive be- It certainly tempts
the appetite most.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

Sometimes he walks out on him. At
other times he sits at his desk on the
floor, apparently absorbed in stack of
papers before him and completely ig-
noring Harrison's thrusts.
But that doesn't deter the Senator
from Mississippi. Perhaps he has an
idea that Smoot hears him despite the
air Of absorption in other things.
Smoot never attempts to jibe back at
Harrison in light vein. His voice is
thin, and a belligerent note is evident
when this lean, lank, gray-haired
Utahan engages in heated debate.
He possesses an inquisitive mind and
frequently confounds proponents of
measures with his marshaling of in
formation against their cause.
He can put up a stiff opposition if
he desires. For days at time he bore
the brunt of the Democratic assault on
the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill.
He holds the Senate record for con-
tinuouS speaking. Once he spoke for
IL hours and 35 minutes with only
momentary halts and without once
moving away from his desk.
One of Shoots rules of life is hard
work. 1t is broken by three things.
He plays golf 1t is not unusual to
see him on public course of the Capt.
tai early in the morning, executing me-
thodical strokes in an effort to
break 100.
He likes vaudeville. In the days
when this form of entertainment was
popular, he was regular patron of the
old Keith's Theater in the Capital
He is a frequent and enthusiastic
visitor to Washingtons Zoo in Rock
Creek Park,

the latter drew attention to him again.
Whistler was so excited that he
couldn't sit still. He watched every
move that the Bear made and talked to
himself in an angry undertone. 1t was
plain that he was anxious as we'll as
excited. The air was SO clear that the
distant rock slide seemed much nearer
than it was. OF course this was equally
true of the big Brown Bear. His every
move could be seen plainly.
Presently Whistler became more ex-
cited than ever. He could scarcely
contain himself. The Bear had stopped
and begun to pull stones and rocks
aside. He did it in an unhurried
manner. but with purpose that even
at that distance was quite evident. His
great strength enabled him to pull
aside rocks that Farmer Browns Boy
couldn't have moved. Some of these
rolled down the slide and smaller stones
new out in all directions.
Whistler knew What it meant, but
for a time Farmer Browns Boy didn't
understand what that Bear was doing
all that hard work for. Then 1t came
to him.
He is after that other Marmot! He
Is trying to dig him outl" he exclaimed
under his breath.
This was even more thrilling than
the attempt OF TalonS the Eagle to
catch Whistler. The stones few and
rocks ratified down the slide. Farmer
Browns Boy could picture to himself
that frightened Marmot trapped in his
home among the rocks and waiting
helplesSly as 1t was torn open.
In short tim big hole had been
dug. Then the Bear stopped digging
and reached in with a big paw. He
was back to Farmer Browns Boy and
the latter couldn't see just what the
Bear was doing. Presently he backed
away and sat down, swaying a bit from
side to side and apparently enjoying
tie scenery. He sat there for some
time before he once more got to his
feet and without so much as a glance
at the hole he had dug shuffied across
the slide and finally disappeared down
the slope.
II suspect he got that Marmot,"
muttered Farmer Browns Boy a bit
sadly. Il suppose it wes all right, but
somehow hate to think that any one
can't be safe right in his own home :"
Just then Whistler from his rock
whistled sharply. From the distant
slide came faint response. Whistler
heard it and there was look of salts
faction on his face. Farmer Browns
Boy heard it, too His face frightened
That Beer didn't get him after ALI"
he exclaimed aloud, forgetting Whistler
And then he wondered what could have
sent Whistler scurrying for his home
so fast.

Make Chin Strap at Home.

Dear Miss Leeds-Q) Is there any
way ] could fashion q chin strap at
home to prevent q double chin? / cam
not afford to buy a chin strap. 1 am
too young to have double chin. CD
Is there any homemade preparation
that / could use TO stop or lessen per-
spiration on my face? MARY j.
Answer-OD You may use several
LAYERS of gauze and bind them t1rmly
over the throat The ends of the strips
may be slit so that they may be tied at
the back of the neck and also at the
crown of the head. Moisten the band
age with a mild astringent lotion such
as witch-hazel and apply 1t to the
throat for half an hour or so after
cleansing and maSsaging your face,
throat and neck. To prevent double
chin. however, you need to practice
correct posture when sitting, standing
or walking. Take neck-bending exer-
cises for several minutes every night
and morning, such as the following:
Stand before an open window. EXhale
until you seem to have expelled all the
air from your lungs and you feel like
taking another breath. Now inhale
slowly and evenly throwing the mead
back slowly as you do so. EXhale grad
ually, raising the head and turning 1t
to the left side. Inhale as you throw
your head back again; exhale as you
raise the head and turn it to the right.
Repeat 30 times. You will not need a
chin strap If you practice correct pos
ture and the above exercise regularly.
Young girls do not need such beauty
ards. (2) Here is mild, refreshing
skin lotion that you may use regularly
after Dreaming your face and washing
with soap and water: Four ounces
orange flower water, five drops simple
tincture of benzoin. one scant teaspoon
full of powdered borax. Dissolve the
borax In the orange flower water and
add the benzoin drop by drop. Shake

sorbent cotton to the face, then pat it
in gently and allow it to dry on the

Clear Soup.

A clear soup Of good flavor which
contains gelatin as well as mineral
matter, and is for this reason more
satisfactory for use in cases wherever
liquid food alone must be depended
upon for some time, is prepared as fol-

pounds of neck or lamb or mutton and
chop both meat and bones into small
pieces. Add one cupful of cold water
place in double boiler. and cook for
about five hours. Strain through mus
lin. Season with salt. Let stand until
the fat hardens. Remove the fat and
serve the soup either hot or cold as
preferred. Good for convalescentS.

Farmer Browns Boy sighed with re-
lief when Whistler the Marmot darted
under rock Just in time to escape
Talons the Eagle. 1t was 4 narrow
escape and only the quick wit Of
Whistler had made it possible. Had he
attempted to get back in the hole from
which he had come, TalonS would have
caught him. Talons awkwardly hoped
over to the rock under which Whistler
had found refuge, saw that there was
no chance Of getting him out, and with
a scream of disappointment few away
Farmer Browns Boy could hear
Whistler scolding angrily. Presently he
poked his head out, saw that the way
was clear, and scrambled up to his
favorite rock, where he sat UP and
looked carefully in all directions
Talons was flying of and already was
a mere speck in the sky. Satisfied that
ali was well at last, Whistler jumped
down and went to finish his inter-

This suggests that she may be OF very
impractical type. She possibly plans
and dreams of the impossible.
The almost complete absence of be-
ginning strokes indicates well trained,
keen intelligence. She is probably an
accurate thinker about abstract things,
failing only in applying this clear
mindedness to her own life.
1t may be that teaching would APP
peal to her. Here her good intellect
would be of value. Her imagination
would be of assistance. particularly in
dealing with younger children.
The entire writing suggests q hasty,
possibly impulsive person. Some Of the
lines are vertical, some Slanting to the
left, again indicating an impulsive ma
ture. She may occasionally act fool
ishly on impulse, the more restrained
side of her nature later regretting her
actions.
She would seem to enjoy her pleas
ures to the utmost. Gayety would be
more IN accord with her nature than
sedateness. Dancing possibly has great
appeal for her. In this she might ex-
press her more frivolous nature, AFFORD

originality and imagination, with an

slider others before herself.

SYNOPSIS: Peak Abbott is b. 5eiged by temptation to make love to Sam Sherrill, the love- Iy stop-daughter of an eccen- uic aristocratic inventor. Peak
 has technical rights, for she has promised to marry him. But he hopes 10 win her love by expressing only friendship, until she has forgotten her in- tcrcst in Freddy Munson. Sam would have married Freddy if he had been wealthy, as Peak is; but at the time her family was in severe need of money, and so she accepted Peak. Re- ccntly her stepfather, Fourth Aldersea, has found someone to back his invention, and money suddenly rolls in upon the family. Peak offers to set Sam free, but she deter m ines to stand by her bargain. He be- lieves she may be growing fond of him. Delighted with her new freedom to spend as she plcascs, Sam concentrates on having a good time.
