What are these conflicts we hear SO much about?
 Conflict means struggle, but in the sense of mental hygience and be- havior it means something still deep er---indecision.
 Indecision. inability to accept and decide in our own minds, wears children out. In spite of seeming physical perfection, many children gre a soothing mass of these un- happy conflicts inside.
 Such hidden conflicts seldom ap. pear on young faces, unless after a period of time they set into an ex- pression If weariness or discomfort. conceal these things. They would Ee silent even if they were articu1ate enough to explain. or to analyze their troubles, which they are not.
 Even his behavior may offer no explanation of the struggle he is linderT ong, for again the mind works circuitously to cover its own tracks. SO to speak, and the results of q mental conflict often show in some type of conduct that fails 70 show any connection whatever with the real cause.
 Remedy May Be At Hand.
 II any HlOlIleT IldS d CDIlu WnOl0 she suspects of being unhappy or she may be able to put her finger on the trouble by probing quietly in- to the possible causes. There may fe many things to cause him trouble. CT there may be only one. Most children have these mental struggles at times-the strain of accepting the artificial conditions with which they are surrounded not being the least of them. It is the conflict that lasts over a period of time that is most dangerous to mental stability and peace.
 Children who lack confidence and have an .ngrained inferiority com D.ex are fertile ground for mental conflicts. also the Over-sensitive in- trovert type, and the overly con- scientious child. Occasionally these s'Iains come out in peculiar or poor behavior, but as I said before, too often they are suppressed and the child gives no sign, at least not for a period of months, or even years.
 The child who is convinced that he is worthless. that he does noth- ing right, that he is a coward and a no-account usually has most tf emendous mental struggle. Shall ne De hl!nSer and let people know him for what he is, or shall he camoufage his behavior, put up a game of bluff even bully, to fool the public? Better to be anything al- most, than what he is. At least lie will get some sort of attention where otherwise he will be ignored.
 Loyalty to parents is another cause of mental trouble. Tn case of divorce, for instance. or quarrel, which one should be clung to?
 Personalities around him such as dominee.ing brothers or sisters may cause struggle. Shall he fight pr give in nocilely? He cannot make up his mind. Conflict again.
 Duty? Figure out the possibility of trouble here. A certain duty that constantly irks him! Each day new fight with himself.
 The human race is weakened and saddened by mental conflicts. The time to get after them is in child hood.

Once more we visit frozen seas, leaving Sumatra and finding an is- land which is one of the coIdest homes in the world.
 It is about 1,600 miles from north to south, and at one point is 800 miles from east to west.
 It has been crossed by few ex- plorers, including Peary-the man who first reached the North Pole but it is not so well mapped as most other islands.
 If this island could be picked up and placed over Canada, it would cover about one-fifth of the Domin- ion. It would stretch from Halifax to Winnipeg. A false idea of it's size is given in maps modelled on the Mercator plan, and it is made to ap- pear even larger than it really is. If we count Australia as a conti- nent. this island is the largest in the world.

NANCY PAGE Christmas Checks Help in Filling Furniture Needs
 By F'iOrcnce La Ganike.

Nancy and Lois had both received Christmas checks. They decided to spend them for furniture. First, they attended a lecture on modern styles in furniture. This was given in the auditorium of their favorite department store. Then they did some window shopping. Then they did little reading on furniture styles. And then they set out to spend their money.
 Part of Nancys check was to go for furniture for Joan. Now Nancy might have chosen furniture suit able for a child of six, but it would not have been long before that furniture would have been out grown. And children's furniture is not cheap, at all.
 A four-poster bed with chest of drawers and a small Windsor chair were her choice. She planned to put a dotted Swiss valance on bed and on tester. A patchwork quilt was to go on the bed. Ball fringe in creamy white cotton went on the edge of all ruffles and valances. These pieces would always be good. even when Joan was grown up,

bath salts or powders we buy in packages or in alluring jars. It is matter of personal taste whether salt crystals or powders are the preference. There are so many commercial preparations on the market that are perfectly satisfac- tory that the matter of choice re- solves itself into what scent you like and what color.
 There is. however. much to be said in the matter of choosing your bath fragrance. Some of the salts and powders which have the most de- lecta ble smells when opened. do next to nothing to actually scenting your precious self while bathing. The test of bath fragrance lies in just how well it stands by you after you emerge from the tub.
 Some women still scent their baths by dumping into the water a

 "Clifford just now came. He wanted 70 ask me something. Some thing about using my influence to help you out of your scrape or some thing, wasn't it?" Corrinne put ,n then. in a voice that she knew was too quick, too hurried, to be natural.

We have no record of what fla nous beauty of history invented the perfumed bath. But certainly she did not invent it in vain! There is nothing on earth that's so good a pick-me-up to a tired. discouraged woman as a fragrant, perfumed bath.
 Records have been uncovered of ancient Egyptian women of royal blood who bathed in perfumed wa ters. A few centuries later, Eng land records women of fashion talk ing to sweet-scented baths.
 In those days. when bathing was a luxury, no doubt the perfume did much to counteract the lack of cleanliness. To-day. perfumed baths are the cherry on top of the sundae of cleanliness!

1t is owned by Denmark. In spite of its immense size, it contains only about 15,000 inhabi- tants. A few of these are Danes, but most are EskimOs.
 The people live in huts which are built sometimes of stone, sometimes of snow. They make their living chiefly by hunting and fishing Their game includes whales, seals, polar bears and foxes. Their fishing brings them salmon, codfish and halibut.
 Vast sheets of ice cover three fourths of the island. At some places the ice is more than 5000 feet thick.
 The glaciers press the ice down valleys, and much of it is pushed in- to the sea. 1t is estimated that more than one billion tons of ice is sent out to sea every year!
 Chunks of ice from this island float in the North Atlantic, and offer danger to ships travelling between Europe and North America. Strangely enough, mosquitoes are found in the southwest corner.

From her own share of the check Nancy purchased a French provin- cial chair upholstered in quilted small figured calico. A chair belong ing to the early American period was chosen too. This had the splat back and the rush seat.
 Nancy knew that Georgian furni- ture was coming back in, since rooms were becoming English in feeling. This is particularly true of the home which needs something little better than the Early Ameri- can or French provincial. The Georgian influence brings in the Chippendale chairs and tables. She chose one which showed quite clearly the Chinese influence which dominated so many of the designs of Chippendale.
 These chairs. especially when they are of American Chippendale in spiration show much carving Nancys was rich in carving and gave a feeling of opulence and leisure to its corner where it found itself.

japanese Ranch Foreman
Astounds Scientists By
Discovering Comet.
MODEST OVER WORK
Observatory Announces
Name Of M. Nagata To
Be Given Discovery.

PASADENA. Cal, July %. U.P--
An obscure. amateur japanese
astronomer, NJ. Nagata, of Brawley,
Calf. has discovered new comet
in the heavens. it was announced
today at the Mt Wilson observa-
tory.
The comet was described to be in
the constellation of Leo, not far
| from the star Rho Leoxis, and in
| the general direction of Mars, al
though about 10 degrees to the right
of that planet.
The comet will be named after
| Nagata, who called it to the atten-
ton of the Mt. Wilson scientists in
an apologetic telegram in which he
begged pardon for wasting their
time but asked If 1t was possible for
him to have located a new comet
with his small telescope.
DR.. F. H. Seares, temporarily In
charge of Mt. Wilson, announced
that sometime ago he received
confused telegram from Nagata in
which Nagata outlined the comet
and the place hs mad located it.
Little attention was paid to the
telegram, DR.. Sears said, but this
| week pictures were taken on the
direction given by Nagata and the
comet was found where he said it
would be.
DR.. Sears said it could be seen
| with a small telescope just after
| dark. 1t Is too faint to be seen at
other times.
| DR.. Sears said Nagata promised
| to write but that he had not yet
received the letter. He said he nev-
er heard of Nagata before and did
not know his occupation or back
ground. DR.. Sears presumed Nagata
was an amateur because OF the
small telescope the japanese used.
Nagata is foreman for Sears
Brothers. cantaloupe and lettuce
| growers in Brawley.
| That his modesty is real and not
feigned can be attested by the Press.
Attempts to talk with him this
morning regarding his discovery
were unavailing. He was located
at the Japanese association in Braw-
| ley and though able to converse
fluently in English, refused to talk
about his work, saying "it was

From the secretary of the asso-
citation it was learned that Naga-
| ta's father was interested in astron-
omy in Japan and his son comes by
it naturally. He has made no real
study of the planets, but has done
considerable reading and observa-
tion.
Nagata is extremely reserved and
studious. He reads continually when
not at work or studying the heavens
with his small telescope. He Is
about "A years of age and single.
Told that it was quite likely the
comet would be named for him, he
told the secretary it should not be
done but should be named for some
worthier man.

The former secretary has a pri-

His habits will have to be read
justed before he can be assigned to

to read late at night and sleep late
in the morning. This will have to
be changed. 1t would not be pos
sible to permit him to read late and
disturb other prisoners. nor would
1t be possible >or him to sleep late
in the morning"
Drug stimulants will be given Fall
as he needs them, the doctor said,
but alcohol, which he has been
taking as a stimulant, will be dis
continued.
use of alcohol as a stimulant
for Fall stopped the moment he
entered prison. DR.. Fiske said.
Yesterday Fall saw his wife, their
two daughters, Mrs. Jouett Elliott
Mrs. C. c. Chase, and his grand
daughter, Martha Fall.
The four visited him in the prison
hospital in the afternoon. They
