Children do not like to do .hum- drum things. None of Us do for that matter, but in young childhood monotony begins when interest ceases. and it often ceases in very few minutes.
 These spaces of interest have been observed and measured by specialists. A young child can only concentrate on one thing for very few minutes at time. As he grows older he can do so for longer time, even after interest ceases, be- cause he has learned to control and direct his mind. But even then we know that really first class concen- tration is likely to disappear when interest has lost it's edge. After all this dissertation we'll go back to our little boy. Suppose we teach him how to put the cups away. He is so pleased about it for a few days that he cannot wait until the dishes are washed so he can drag his chair up to the pantry shelf and set the cups in a neat row.
 His Interest WancS
 About Thursday night we miss him. and have to call to him when the dishes are dried and remind him that we are> all ready. He responds quickly enough and does his small chore, but he isn't quite so talkative or enthusiastic. The cups are not quite so straight. and he hurries back to the paper and paint brush he has begged from his sister.
 On Friday he has to be called his feelings this time. He does his 1n I,,fx, h,,t tno work instead of play. By Saturday he openly protests. He doesn't want to put away the cups and says so. < We are disappointed. Is Billy go- ing to be playboy? Will he never take responsibility seriously? What are we going to do about 1t?
 Judging Billy by our adult stand ards is hardly fair. He is just a little fellow and unconsciously the tool of his own mind. His mind is developing and learning by leaps and bounds, but for awhile it is not going to keep his small body at any thing that does not interest 1t for the moment. It's interest are of short duration but multiple. Billy is learning thousand things that we do not suspect, besides putting dishes dishes away, things for which we do not give him credit. They are not matters that our adult standards recognize for the most part. but they are as important as the dishes.
 Childhood is play time-what we call play time, although there are deep psychological principles under all play, even the most haphazard of 1t. Nature has odd ways of de- veloping it's brains and hands.
 We must not get discouraged be- cause children forget or lose interest quickly. Duties they shoulod have. but those consistent with their in- terests as much as possible while they are little. Later they can take on more.

POPULARITY OF CHEAP CUTS or
 MEAT IS GROWING.
Due to New Idea in Season ing Meat with Sugar as
 Well as Salt

Never before has such attention been paid to cooking inexpensive meat. By slow cooking and thought full seasoning many housewives have surprised themselves with tasteful meat dishes at low cost.
 Among the various methods now in vogue, the use of sugar and salt in perfecting the flavor of the meat is gaining in favor. Some cooks add equal parts of salt and sugar to the pot-roast or stew. Others use these ingredients in quantities to suit their taste.
 The economy of this simple sea- soning lies in the fact that it de- velops a fine favorful meat dish without requiring the use of . wide variety of vegetables and sauces. Often the cost of these supplement tary ingredients offsets the saving made at the meat market. Most foods are more delicious with sugax. The Sugar Institute.

 She heard Steve's heavy foot steps. Mrs Sloan, the matron, en- tered the room behind him.
 Good morning. Mrs Wallace, 2 she said smiling. Steve says I you've come to see Nina"
 .'I--why. yes. hope it won't be any trouble. With the trial starting tomorrow thought she might like someone to talk to. How's she feel- ing?"
 Mrs Sloan shook her head. | That's bad case" she said. "A bad case! You can go up if you want to. II don't know how you'll find her. I've seen lots of queer ones here but l can't understand | that girl.'
 Gypsy followed up the stairs and down the corridor of barred cells. Nina was lying on her cot, one arm thrown over her eyes to shield l them from the light. Someone to see you. Nina, Mrs l Sloan said as she unlocked the cell door.

He was in his crib asleep and Mrs Fowler had had to run to the neighbors to get someone to stay with the child before she could leave for the hospital.
 Had there ever been any trouble between herself and her husband :?
 Mrs Fowler said no. Did she know anyone who might wish to do him harm? The woman's answer,
 scarcely audible. was in the nega- | tive.
