LITTLE BENNY
By LEE PAPE.

Me and pop was taking a wawk be-
fore supper and 1 had a ideer, saying,
Hay pop did you ever see the mixed
calender and diary l got from Cuzzin
Artie for Christmas?
don't bleeve so, pop sed, and l
said, well its like little book TO car
~ in your pockit, and its got a space
for every day in the year and every
space has got something printed in 1t
to tell you something that happened
or was invented or something on that
same date some other year.
Well that's very good thing and l
hope you make intelligent use OF It,,
pop said. Its an excellent thing to be
reminded each day that mankind has
been struggling, hoping and achieving
every single day since the dawn of hu-
man life, and that not day passes
without some man or woman, or some
group of men or wimmin, accomplish
ing something verify to be recorded
in the pages of history. he said. I hope
you carry that little book about with
you constantly, he said.
Yes, sir, said. I've got it rite now,
shall I look and see what somebody
did in the history Of the werld today,
ony about a hunderd years ago or
some time? I said.
why yes, lets nave our little oalIy
reminder, by all means, pop said, and
I took my little red book out of my
pockit and looked in it, saying, jan
uary the eleventh, on January the elev-
erth, 1910, the Van Hoogen Islands
were discovered by Henrick Van Hoog-
en- a Dutch explorer.

T ACK of poise and incorrect pos
ture are both physical and psy-
Geological On the physical
IL side it is a matter of lack OF
muscular coordination that
makes ones movements ungainly and
ones figure ungraceful in outline. No
girl or woman can realize her full pos
sibilities for beauty and charm until
she has acquired the habit of correct
posture. Regular exercises will strength
en- the muscles so that a graceful,
poised carriage will become easy and
natural Below are few exercises
that are used by professional dancers
every day together with their regular
setting-up exercises, whether or not
they are working They realize that
they must keep their bodies youthful
and supple regardless of whether they
feel like it or not.
The exercises that I am about to de-
scribe are not vigorous, but they are
difficult and one should practice them
by degrees slowly until ones muscles
have become accustomed to the
stretching and limbering movements.
They are wonderful for children and
Young, growing girls because they
shape their pliable bones. Beautiful
limbs and flexible waistlines are the
result. Fine, also, for the average girl,
giving her balance, rounding out the
figure and making the muscles firm
and supple.
Use a low table and support yourself
by placing one hand lightly on 1t.

Establishments in ones scale Of living
are always fraught with danger, Wheth-
er the standard goes up or down. The
woman with more money than she ever
thought she would have to spend may
suddenly raise her standards to such
exaggerated proportions as to run into
extravaganza and riotous living, thus
blighting Der own happiness. The last
year has witnessed an alarming in
crease in the number of shipWrecKed
homes, attributed by domestic social
workers to the husbands business re-
versals or altered income.
While it may not be pleasant to prac-
tice heroic self-control, not only in the
face of an altered income, but in the
presence of the husbands altered dlspo-

New Collars and Necklines
By MARY MARSHALL.

draped close to the neck at back and
sides, with only slight dip at the front,
and there are new rather high "
necks and square necks that are sur
prisingly becoming to most women.
Lower V-necklines when found on
daytime dresses are usually rather wide
at the shoulder, so that even though
the point of the V is fairly low the
lines at the neck give an effect Of
breadth. The deep, long. narrow V is
rarely seen on the newer dresses. And,
incidentally, this wider line that shows
an inch or more of the shoulders at
the base of the neck contributes to
the rather broader shoulder line that
is part of the present mode.
The sketch today shows one of the
new collars that is exceptionally be-
coming and that any clever woman
can make herself. Add it to an old
dress that needs a little later Winter
encouragement or make use of the idea
on one of the new dresses that you
are planning to make for early Spring.

Lesson From the Dinosaur.

Thousands of years ago the dinosaur
dominated the earth. 1t required many
centuries for him to attain his lordship
aver his contemporary animal society.
In order to do this he kept adding to
his protecting armor Of scales and
plates. After he had added 50 much
that he weighed tons, Mr.. D1nosaur
Quit using his social wits and depended
Iipon his armor for his sole protection.
He became an introvert, forgot about
Matching eggs. and so his race persisted
from the earth.
Those who make it their business to
study the increases in the population of
the United states from decade to decade
find that. relatively speaking, our popu-
lation is diminishing Education seems
to be the armor that man is taking ON.
At any rate, the more educated the
narents the smaller are their families.

L across the top of these letters
would present a very undulating
appearance. This may be translated
as denoting a certain amount of un-
stableness of temperament on the part
of the writer. She perhaps is the kind
of person who always surprises people
bv her actions. In all probability she
seldom reacts in the expected manner
frequently keeping her friends in a
quandary as to her actions.
It seems that any type of handWork
that demanded definite. precise move
ments would be very difficult for her
She might, however, enjoy more masCu-
line manual labor, such as welding a
point brush or a hammer Her greatest
interests might perhaps be in mechanical
things. She possibly is one of the rare
feminine types with an accurate, in
stinctive knowledge Of mechanical
principles.
She probably is more automatically
minded than literary. Enjoying as she
does this particular study, she might
be wise to specialize in it with the idea
of teaching. Higher mathematics, to
be taught to adults, would perhaps be
more suitable for her to teach. If she
does not care for schoolma ans life,
she might learn accounting, profess
sion which usually earns worthwhile
income.
Recreation should play an important
part in her life, as she probably tends
to be very high-strung and nervous.
After being careful to have a large
amount of sleep, she should have SON e
vigorous outdoor exercise. Swimming
horseback riding and tennis would all
seem to be good choices for her. Long
hikes also with interesting companions
should prove a pleasant diversion.

Rice Waste Eliminated

p ICE, like many other food products, has
N come to the attention of the efficiency
experts with the results that now little or moth
ing is lost. In the milling processes in which
rice is prepared for human food, about 10 per
cent of the protein and about 85 per cent of the
oil in the rice is lost. This loss is in the rice
bran and the rice polish. These two substances
heretofore thrown away are now used in the
preparation of highly efficient stock feeds.
The hulls remained as the only part of the
plant for which no use was found and even
that is now put to play, being used for fuel
in the mills handling the rice products.
This use of the hulls for fuel parallels the
efficiency Of the bowling Pm factory which
derives all it's fuel from the chips and turnings
of maple obtained when the blocks of wood are
reduced to the shape and size of bowling pin.

T4vo-Horse Farming

THE horse may again come back to his own
! If the advice of the Department OF Agrfs
culture is carried out by the Southern cotton
farmer. The oAe-horse farmer is urged to step
out and become a two-horse farmer
One of the big problems in the past IN the
South has been the really serious privations
which have followed in the wake of low prices
for cotton. The shortage of money from the
cash crop has been such that it has been diff.
cult to properly feed the family in some cases.
The Federal experts want the farmers to turn
from their one crop and with the aid of
second horse and two-horse equipment to raise
not only their cotton, but their food and animal
feed as well. BY this means whatever cash
is derived from the cotton is available en-
tirely for other things than food. No mat~a
ter how low the price of the cotton, the farmer
and his family still could eat well If all the
food were produced at home.

New Jersey is going to vote on the sub- jeet of repeating it's state prohibition en- foreem.nt act next November. Governor Moore signed bill to this effect last week and the referendum is thus assured. We do not know how many states are to hold referendums in connection with the ap- preaching state and national elections We hope that Connecticut voters won't lose sight of the fact that they are also to vote on similar subject We won't seek to repeal any state enforcement act but to memorialize congress on repeal of the 18th Amendment. In this we follow in the footsteps of neigh boring Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It would be funny if both the republican and democratic national parties adopted wet blanks in their conventions and then several states showed lack of indifference by ignor- ing wet referendums We hope that some organization will conduct campaign in this state to educate the voters to the necessity of pulling down the lever which will indicate vote for the wet referendum. We under stand that the Waterbury Crusaders are to do something about it. As soon as the eandi- dates for both state and national tickets are known. this campaign of education certainly

The idea is to %ean" the voices of great singers and synehronize the records to the pantominme of actors and actresses on the stage. Opera today" says Mr Stokowsk. while pleasing to the ear. is often sore trial to the eye. Take 'Tannhseusef.' for example. Venus. the most beautiful woman in the world. is using her charms to tempt Tannhaeuser from the narrow path of vir- tue. But. unfortunately. the lady who plays the part happens to have eaten too much spaghetti or sauer- -bratten. ''s
 Could we ask the lady 10 eat less spa ghetti? That may be asking too much. But this is not necessary. Electricity will change her. We can take her voice and record it on disk. Then wen can select beautiful young lady" It is all very well in theory. Artists, however. have temperaments as well as avoirdupois. Is a prima donna going to {. be. willing to step out of the picture and to let senseless disk take her applause? Or worse yet a pretty actress who cannot sing a note? A plan by 50 eminent musician should not be condemned untried. The American motto seems to be Well try any thing once" Even singerless opera.

In its effort to restore the herds of wild elk that once. rosmed through New Works s wild mountainous regions it looks as if the authorities had reckoned without the ani- malls themselves. For the last year the Con- servation Department has been conditioning a herd of animals SO they would be in: con- dtion to go it on their own when released. They were carefully fed and their comfort in every way catered to. As result when the bars of the corral were let down the an- imals became as faithful as the eontented cow. They sought readmission to the pastures that had become so suitable. It probably will be months before they revert to true type and lose themselves in wilder ness fastnesses.
