A RuLGING WEEK

This is one of the fullest busiest, most interesting weeks that
has been met in the endless procession of weeks for a long, long time
Besides an Interstate Commerce Commission freight rate hearing, there
have been senior class exercises, Memorial Day exercises, a couple OF
ball games, a band tournament that meant a trip out of town. A couple
of fine rains of great value Congress almost balanced the budget

VERY LONELY
On BIRTHDAY
BY MARGARET LANE

NEW YORK, Aug. Is GN.S0
When you have been an under,
taker for so years, you kind OF
lose interest in your own funeral.
so long as they bury me in
a clean white nightshirt, l really
don't care" says Charles Bene,
dict. who is the Oldest undertaken
in New York, and just "a years
old.
He is more interested in his
pink and white birthday cake
with it's "a candles than in talk
ing about funerals-Which to Mr..
Benedict after all is just talking
shop. He continued;
Though mind you, funerals
have changed out of recOgni-
tion in my memory. When
started in Gao business with
my father, 80 years ago, casketS
were always carried on our
shoulders, and we each carried
a coffin stool IN one hand.
1t meant a lot q work. And
now, though everything is so
different, my SON Clarence will
carry on the business after me
in the same, friendly, family
lines"
Undertaking to Mr.. Benedict is
not a melancholy trade. He takes
a professional pride in the
families that come back time
and time again" to have their
funerals organized by him. He
said:
Sometimes we have a couple
of funerals going at one time,
one in the front parlOr and
one in the back, and the
relatives get matey together,
ad it's just as friendly as it
can be. But l haven't been to
a funeral myself since my old
friend, John VOOrhis. died last
winter. We were friends and
political enemies all our lives,
and l feel kind of lonesome
now that John is gone"

The Lindbergh Child

The columns Of various editions as they appear

The selection conspicuous of the underworld
Salvatore Sptae and Irving Btz gobetweens to deal with

However late yesterday afternoon both had disappeared

although neither of these appeared to have any definite
knowledge definite theory to the kidnapping and boh
parent lacked any actual knowledge concerning the child

However until Colonel and Mrs Lindbergh jointly signed

had heard the of either And while definite
information has been given out is assumed that

That selection based belief that the kid

It has been suggested also that the child might be returned

Too Much Home Work?
A Noted Educator Thinks So

"Home work" bane of childhood does more harm than good
In the opinion of Prof David Snedden the noted educational
authority Of Teachers College at Columbia University
Many teachers and most parents will agree with Prof Sned
den
Study after school hours is probably less harmful in rural
districts and small towns than in the large Cities the strain
Of merely living in city heavy burden childs
But outside Of the cities few work after their eight
hours in the factory the office and experience shows that
they are more efficient workers result
/ This is more true Of children.
As Prof. Snedden says:
"The majority of schools in session
thty.eight uOeeks year. EOen in the progress
siOe four to six hours of study recitation exercising
and listening to teachers constitute pretty severe
tax upon young and half-fOrned systems.
Excessive devotion to the n1en1orzing of facts still
preUaent most schools, responsible for much of
the home work assigned by hGrried teachers often
because the school day is not long enough for the
necessary driH"
Prof Snedden believes that school programs read
usted that difficult studies undertaken in the morning
when pupils minds fresh and that shop and laboratory
work be limited to short period in the afternoon
Is matter that boards Of education everywhere would do
well to look into.
The American people justly proud of their schools and
gladly tax themselves to for the finest educational fac
ties that money buy But they want that money spent
the best advantage
excessive home study undermining the physical welfare
Of their children it should be reduced or abolished

The One Who Is Tardy


In many homes it is either
the husband or the wife who
is always late in starting out
for an evenings entertainment.
There Is a last few minutes
rush when everything seems to
go wrong.
The waiting person becomes
irritated and not infrequently
says things that ruin the whole
evening.
The person who is habitually
late very often is the one Who
docs many unnecessary things
and looks no better for it.
Then there is the one who is
too late in starting preparations
to go for an outing.
Unexpected delays frequently
occur which makes it all the
more necessary to plan ahead
so as not to be hindered ulti-

filagree over the black, freshly
Spaded earth. The wet blades
glittered-gave off spangleS OF
crimson, violet, copper. A SHIN
mering, blue gauze of light
clung like a web to the SWELL
ing twigs, the gray rocks.
There came the smell OF
earth, of burning leaves, Of
freshly scrubbed paint the
sourish, potent smell Of yeast
and flour.
MY body felt clean and eager
as the soil. My arms moved
pleasantly, kneading the bread
pressing against the warm,
resilient strength Of the dough.
A dog barked. A hen
squawked past, in a great
flutter. A little boy flashed
by, laughing-one knicker leg
flapping about his ankle-his
towsled head bright gold against
the blush light.
A Simple Job
A simple hour and a simple
chore. But it meant more than
endless, arid nights set in cleo
tries. It meant more because
I lived more. I put more into
that hour and got more out
of it. It wasn't a dream. Or
a smarty, show off gesture. It
was part of actual life.
It was real. And I was real.
T was doing something that
needed to be done and I was
doing it with everything I had.
I was using all Of me-getting
the maximum return out Of all
my senses. And so everything
I saw and did was part Of me
-. AND WAS THEREFORE,
IMPORTANT AND EXCITING.
It isn't necessary to make
bread in order to get a reac.

that reaction when you're do

BUT YOU MUST BE REAL

must be doing it with all you
have putting everything
you have into it taking
everything you can out Of
it . not just acting an I'M
natural part in a mental movie
set which has no connection
with your real life.
If you can feel like that
when you're doing things,
then no moment of your life.
HOWEVER SIMPLE, will be
dull or unimportant or un'
profitable.
And if you CAN'T feel like
that when you are doing things,
then no moment of your life.
HOWEVER GRAND, will have

"But how can I possibly feel

Job I hateP" you cry indig-

If you hate a job, then that's
your own bad luck. stranger,
