SYMPATHY GONE
(St. Peter Herald)

We are. finding it rather hard to
drum up sympathy for some Of the
Labor regime for political reasons.
During the campaign, lot of these
Republican appOintees sat back and
did nothing for their party, trying to
curry favor with the other side, or
else tried to carry water on both
shoulders. There has been too much
OF that spirit in the past ID years, and
it is good thing for the Republican
party if these barnacles are shaken

pr Raynor's words were smooth and cold as he told Ruth that it was nice of Dale Courtney to take an interest in her. They sent a quick chill to Ruth's heart. He wasn't supposed to talk like that. She had meant for his eyes to light with quick interest, for him to be re- lieved. And he was merely bored.
 Ruth wasn't used to subterfuee. She had needed so little of it in her life. She knew, however, that she should have changed the theme of the conversation and made a grace full exit. She couldn't. She had to get this thing explained.
 "I was afraid that maybe you wouldn't understand She stopped, miserable. Oh. why didn't he come to her aid? Why didn't he say something instead of standing there with that half-amused, half-Dored expression on his face. He wasn't the man she had known such a few years before. The handsome young interne who gave her share in all of his enthusiasms. He was cynical stranger! But even if he was. |. she loved him. No, she didn't; she hated him. She hoped that she would never see him again! And yet she was afraid that she would never see him again.
 She gave up then and walked away with her final sentence sound ing more careless than she knew "Then it's all cleared up?' l should have known it would be-"
 But through the evening she was conscious of the cold numbness in her heart. She laughed and talked and prayed for the evening to end. She supposed that Courtney would take her home. He had brought her. Anyway, he was nice sort of person. She didn't have to masquerade around him. He knew that her real name was Cindcr- ella.
 The party broke up at last. Jack and Sue offered to drive her home. Dr Raynor appeared to be inter- ested in a show girl who was in the group. Not too interested, Ruth noted just enough to show that whatever transcient interest the evening held for him was conc"n- trated in somebody else's direc- tion.
 
 She was surprised. therefore, when Joe Raynors voice interrupt ed her as she was accepting Jacks offer.
 "I can drop you at your door just as well as not. Ruth. It's on my way"
 Thank you" she said and smiled. The numbness was lighter now She was aware that the other girl looked surprised.
 You don't know where l live. How do you know my address is on your way" she asked when they were in the car.
 "I don't care where you are liv- ing now. It's on my way, l want to tell you some things" His eyes were straight ahead and his chin had a stubborn angle to IL.
 "All right, tell me-" Her voice was lighter. gayer now. She could arouse some sort of emotion in Joe Raynor anyway.

If the appearance of your hair is suffering a depression, start a re- conditioning process.
 have mentioned brushing 1t daily, giving the scalp tonic at night or morning, or both if you have time, and massaging your scalp until it feels nice. warm and glowing, before you retire.
 The best possible treatment, along with all this, that your hair can have is the hot oil shampoo.
 Any oil will do. l even know good, fashioned women who swear by castor oil for their hair. A lighter oil is just as good and pleasanter to use. Olive oil, liquid vaseline, cocoanut oil and prepared scalp oils all have their good points.
 Before starting to administer the hot oil shampoo, brush your hair thoroughly and massage 1t and then, instead of putting on tonic, apply hot oil. Pour out three or four tablespoonfuls of oil, put in ii nor aluminium container and set that in pan of boiling water. Don't burn your fingers applying the hot oil, but get 1t on as hot as you can stand 1t. Dip a piece of cotton into the oil. and pat it along the various parts you make all over your scalp until all of it has been touched.
 Now begin another massage. This time try to loosen the scalp and by so doing, you rub the oil into the scalp and the hair, too, becomes greasy. Night is the best time to do this. Put a warm towel around your head and turn in. Shampoo 1t in the morning.
 If you cant oil your head in the evening and wash in the morning, just applying the hot oil and sham pooing immediately is better than nothing. But you should take five minutes in between to use hot tow els to rub your head. This drives the oil in.
 Use liquid soap for sha mpooinG. You can make your own by say ing bits of your castle toilet soap and melting it up in hot water. Add little bit of perfumery and you have as nice q liquid shampoo as you could wish. Do not use your shampoo water too hot. Just warm enough to remove the oil but not to dry the scalp.

The period when foliage is grow ing is also the time when new flower stoots are developing in side the bulb.
 The resting time needs cold tem- peratures. The plant need not have been actually out in the front but 1t should have been close to freez- ing point for three or four months. This cooling-off time is essential if the new bulb Is to develop flowers
 Twigs which have been out of doors through early part of De- cember will flower or leaf when brought into warm forcing atmos- phere of house. But had they been brought in during october there would have been neither foliage nor flower Window gardens in which there are bulbs or tubers need plenty of light. The pots should have n vent at bottom for drainage. The garden soil should be slightly doamy and should ex- tend up until 1t barely covers shoot of bulb. When the plant is getting ready to bloom the temperature may bs raised from the previous desirable 40 or 50 degrees to 60. The flowers keep best when the room is not too warm.

The Lacey girls usually did things together. Claire was old enough to find diversions with boys and girls of her own age, but she still worked contentedly with her younger sisters.
 The girls were doing things with bulbs. They had some narcissus bulbs which were going to be put in bowls with water and pebbles. They knew that it took about nine weeks from the time when they were put in to the time when they showed full and vigorous flower ing.
 But they wanted to do things with some other flower bulbs too.
 They had attended lectures at a
 garden center in their city and had learned that bulbs needed a resting period. This period should have been preceded by time when the foliage had had plenty of op- portunity to develop and then to be despoiled by cold out Of door weather.

YOUR CHILDREN
@I9s2 eY MEA SsRXISE INS.
By Olive Roberts Barton

There were two brothers. The younger boy was very smart, the older one just normal. But the older son, as the years went on' grew to be more and more stupid, so it seemed, and when his broth CT, two years younger, caught up to him in school and at examina- ton time passed, while his brother
 failed, there seemed to be no doubt about it.
 Poor Don got worse and worse. He was nervous too and he
 jerked his head. His eyes got bad and he had to wear glasses He. developed a sort. of pigeon-toed limp, and altogether it was just too bad.
 There was a little brother, about four years younger than the smart
 one. His name was Merrill. The smart one was called Jack. Don, Jack and Merrill, in order of age, they were.
 Well, the little chap was in my
 room at school and he was a pug 1 gle. At times he was a quick and l bright as the best, at others he seemed to be in sort of stupid haze.
 Teacher Gets the Blame The mother of these boys came 1 to school quite often. She was ann bilious for all of them and had a
 habit, when things went wrong. of taking it out on the teacher. One
 thing I remember was her indig- i nation over her oldest boy. She was ambitious for all of them and
 had q habit, when things went
 wrong, of taking it out on the
 teacher. One thing I remember was her indignation over her oldest boy. She couldn't get over the fact 1 that he was failing and constantly
 made this remark, Jack is so bright 1 wish the other boys were
 like him. Donald is so slow and
 now I'm afraid Merrill is going to
 be slow also. think you teachers
 don't understand my other boys.
 They could do better if they had a
 chance. I help them all 1 can at

 it doesn't seem to be a bit of usc." I knew the family well. They were neighbors in a way and quite
 well to do," in the community phraseology. One evening I was asked to dinner-and then the murder was out!
 Without realizing it, that moth CT made a comparison in Jack s favor every five minutes. Jack was this and that. Jack was the very ticket. Poor Don sat there blink ing pitifully through his glasses, a perfect dud. Even his father had to poke cruel fun at the boy who had let his younger brother pass him in school.
 Jack was all right with Donald, but he leased my little pupil ter
 ribly. could see that Merrill would some day be a second edi- tion of poor Don.
 Years passed. Jack left the family college and studied law.
 He drank, went to pieces in an- other city. and died. Donald and
 Merrill are to-day partners in q
 big business, solid, fine citizens. After Jack left they got back their self-respect, and lost their stupid
 ways.
 Never compare two children. If you see signs of nervousness, self
 consciousness and lack of confi-
 dence in the slower once, it is bet
 ter to separate the two if you can.

"MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE' THRILLS LARGE
 AUDIENCES AT STATE

The first of 1932's horror films, Murders in the Rue Morsue' now at Warmers State features a mad scientist with fendish ideas, Il la "Dracula," "Frankenstein" and 'Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde" And appro- priately gloomy backgrounds and weird settings are featured in this one, too.
 Bella Lugosi, who played in "Dracula" on both stage and screen, plays Dr Mirakle and all though his makeup is not so very terrible. his actions are sufficiently horrible And there is plenty of gore, what with a half-dozen mur- derS.
 The story, adapted from the Edgar Allan Poe classic, relates how Dr Mirakle conceives the very pretty idea of crossing the blood of his 'giant ape with that of q young woman. And the fact that this grewsome operation causes the death of the woman doesn't bother Dr Mirakle a bit. He sim ply throws her body through n trap door into the Seine river.
 Paris is the background and the Rue Morgue happens to be the home of the mad scientist. A new leading man. Leon WaycCff, plays the hero: Sidney Fox is the pretty but persecuted heroine, and a fla vorite of the silent days, Betty Ross Clarke, plays the mother
 pr Mirakle might have achieved his ambition if he hadn't picked out pretty little Camille as his next victim after three unsuccessful ex- periments. Camille had a sweet heart, Pierre, q medical student. who became suspicious of Dr Mirakle and his trained ape, Eric. Pierre gets to Camille's home, only to find that her mother has been murdered by the ape, which has kidnapped Camille, Another mad rush to the Rue Morgue reveals that the ape has murdered Dr Mirakle so that it might have the pretty Camille.
 The climax is packed with thrill ing action on the roof tops of Paris. An excellent surrounding program
