process.
Suppose. for example, the length of
his head is found to be 201 millimeters
(8 inches, the width 152 millimeters (5
inches, and the height 146 millimeterj
IS inches.
Then your formula is like this:
f(201-1D X G52-1D U46-1D
X .000337l plus 4060l equals ,625 cubic
centimeters (98 cubic inches), the
cranial capacity of the Congressman
Then multiply this by .95 and you get
1,543 grams (54 ounces, the weight of
the CongresSman's brain.
1t is the hope of Senator Frazier'S
anthropologist or whatever you call a
man engaged in this field of research
that Congress will set the example in
conducting studies such as these. so
that eventually there may be estab
lished comparison between legislatures
of different nations.
"As ell legislative bodies are COM
petitive," it is pointed out, success Is
necessarily connected with merit.
Also most legislative activities are
not arbitrary, but all have certain
courses and may follow a law yet un-
known which future scientific research
may discover, and thus lead to changes
in rules of legislative procedure"

associated with things maritime the
anchor seems to be given hrst place.
Possibly this Is because we still cling to
the belief, even though we are not the
least bit SuperstitiouS, that 1t Is very
good luck to wear an anchor.
There are amusing little necklaces
and bracelets showing small, dangling
anchors, and they are embroidered and
appliqued on the sleeves of new navy
blue jackets. Now it is clever gesture
to wear an anchor on your scarf or
handkerchief.
The sketch shows a new scarf made
of crepe de chine-haf red and half
white, with a blue anchor on the white
end. A white crepe de chine hanoker-
chief with a red anchor adds another
nautical note to the simple ensemble,
which includes one of the new berets OF
a distinctly Sailorly shape.
From the small design you may
easily make anchors yourself, using
them on your sleeve, your scarf or your
handkerchief. The easiest way Is to
embroiGer them in satin stitch. Or you
may make them as appliques. If you
use fairly firm material you may SIM
ply lay small piece of material in
place where you wish the applique to
appear. then mark the anchor design
and stitch with the sewing machine
over the marking. With a sharp pair
of scissors cut around the edge to give
the desired outline

OUR CHILDREN

By Permission.

BY PermlSslon.
T VELEN was playing house with
her dearest friend She was
dressed in her aunt's long silk
4 4 coat and gay hat, carrying a
handbag on her arm. Kath-
crime, her friend, was in full regalla
also. complete with high heels and
vanity case.
Mother came in from her afternoon
meeting to find the two youngsters,
both about 10 years OF age, serving
each other tea in the living room.
They invited her to have some.
NO, thank you. I've had my tea.
It's very good of you to ask me, but
I really do not care for any. Whose
things have you on, Helen?"
"Aunties."
did you ask permission?"
mo. She wasn't home SO I just
went to her closet and took them. I
know she won't mind. She lets me.
They're not her best ones
THAT does not matter. You know
that you are never to touch any
thing belonging to anybody without
first asking and getting their perm1s-
SIGN. Not even If it belongs to me
or your father or your brother. You
must have permission. Go and put
those things back where you got them,
and tonight when your aunt comes
home you tell her what you did, and
remember not to do such a thing
again"
Can't I wait until we've finished
playing? Katherine will have to go
home in half an hour"
mo. You go now. You should not
have touched anything that did not
belong to you without asking. Don't
wait a minute
Katherine looked frightened and
Helen looked downcast enough as they
started up the stairs. Il wonder If
my mother will scold me for putting
on her things Maybe I'd better go
right home and put them back. III
see you tomorrow"
When Helen came downstairs again
she was feeling very bad. She shifted
a little and said, Katherine was afraid
to stay so she went home" Her tone
implied that her afternoon had been
spoiled. Nobody paid any attention,
and she was left to think things over
in quiet until dinner was ready. AS
soon as her aunt appeared she said,
"Oh. auntie didn't think you would
mind SO I dressed up in your things
this afternoon and mother Scolded me.
You didn't mind, did you?"
Auntie caught the expression in
mothers face just in time. L Wouldnt t
have minded if 1 had been home and
you had asked me first. But I do
mind your going into my room and
taking my things without permission
That isn't done, is it?"
1t should not be done. From young
est to oldest permission TO use an
others belongings must be asked and
obtained before taking them for grant
ed. It is hard for children to under
stand property rights as it is, but when
no lines are drawn between thine and
mine the child is in a fair way to
make serious mistakes. 1t is easy tt
fall into a habit of taking things. using
things belonging to other people, bor-
rowing and making use Of whatever
comes handy. 1t is bad habit be-
cause it weakens character.
Ask first, is the best rule, even when
permission is assured.

DAILY DIET RECIPE
POINTED EDGE PIE CRUST.

FolN 1ED ED1E H1E CRUST.
A decorative edge for a pastry
shell can be made by lining a
pie plate with plain pastry dough.
Trim this evenly around edge
and with scissors make cuts at
right angles to bottom of the
plate one inch apart all the way
around. Fold over each portion
of the cut paste, making a series
of points. If fruit pie is want
ed, put in filling and bake as
usual. If a pastry shell is de-
sired. cover paste with wax paper
and over this put a layer of
beans or rice to hold paste in
place. Bake in hot oven $500
degrees Fahrenheit) about 10
minutes, reduce heat to $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit and bake until
pastry is brown.
DIET NOTE.
Pie crust furnishes starch and
fat. Very high in fuel value or
fat-making content. If part but
ter were used, lime and vitamins
would be supplied, but most but
ter substitutes are lacking in both
vitamins and mineral salts. Prop
erly made and baked pie crust,
which is not Soggy and heavy,
can be eaten in moderation oc-
casionally by normal adults of
average or under weight.

ORGANIZATION OF FARMERS
FOR STRUGGLE CONTINUES;
MUST RAISE new DEMANDS
Dakota Farmers In
Fight on EVictions

Frederick, South Dakota, Sept. 26.-A meet
ing of 100 farmers was held at Savo hall, Sunday
night Sept Is, to discuss the threatened eviction
and forced sale of grain Oscar A. Kotilas farm.
Kotlla is an ex-serviceman. He served nine months
in France, has wife and small son.
The company gave him nine days notice of evic-
ton and also told him to get his grain ready for haul
ing.
KotiIla has refused and the meeting last night
backed him up in his refusal and pledged itself to
fight the forced sale and to rouse all the farmers in
the country for this fight. The following resolution
was passed:
Whereas, farm debts, rents, taxes and mort
cages contracted when prices were high and
the farmer cannot pay any of these until debts and
prices get back to the level and the farmers
cash income is now too small to give decent living
for his family;
Whereas Oscar A Kottila, an honest and de-
serving farmer, an ex-serviceman, finds himself in
the same position many other farmers willing
to pay his debts but unable to do so at the present
prices for farm produce;> and
Whereas, the Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance Company is attempting forced collection
of rent through the seizure of the grain on Oscar A.
Kotila's farm even though the price for grain will
not meet the total Indebtedness;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we. farmers at
Savo hall, Brown county( South Dakota on Sept
rs, protest against this proposed forced collection
and demand that Oscar A. Kottla have the right to
hold his grain until prices afford him decent living;
and
Be it resolved, that we declare our readiness to
support this resolution by united action if necessary;
and
'Be it further resolved: That copies of this
resolution be sent to the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance company and to the press.
