 Determined Spirit
 Whatever she does we may b, sure that Chrismtas Monday will be as different from any other da. in the year as she can make it Mrs Schmidt says so.
 You can tell" says the kindl.' clerk" that they've had better times and lived well. The husband gives right up, but she's not that kind. The little girls like her father, quiet, gloomy little thing, but the boys have their mothers spirit. I've got little present for each of the kids, but I can't give much or their mother would get suspicious. And the Millers on the fourth floor have something for them, too. I'll be away Christmas, so I'm offering my radio for the day. I hope they'll take it. It's easy to move and fix up."
 Here and there and everywhere I hear of little stories like this where a mother is managing a happy day for her family. The land is full of them. If you arc inclined to be pessimistic, you may change your mind, take heart and join this brave procession c, Christp1as makers.

 It is true. Mrs Schmidt is can- wasting for beads. Her friends upstairs have that sort of pride that won't accept any other help; but her little neighbor is the kind taht can make a dress out of a

 The green pepper, of course, can be omitted, but it gives a pleasing touch of color. A vivid yellow cheese is attractive, too, If avail able.
 Mix beans, celery, onion and pepper, tossing lightly to avoid crushing beans. Pour on French dressing and arrange on crisp TO- maine. Garnish with grated cheese and serve more French dressing in a separate sauce boat. A good raw vegetable salad uses equal parts of minced green pep per, finely shredded cabbage and grated raw carrot. Each vegetable is mixed with enough mayonnaisc to bind, and they are then ar- ranged in layers on lettuce leaf, making the last layer of pepper. Serve with French dressing to which 4 tablespoons catsup has | been added.

1.-Yes, to some extent. More women than men are self conscious concerned with their own interests, not in the habit of looking at things impersonally, their lives more wrapped up in themselves. For this reason more women than men are sensitive to anything that may reflect on themselves and, therefore, more women than men will dislike me for this answer. But, ladies, the tendency to argue is a rather nasty habit men have. and is chiefly carried on not to prove the point but to prove their own importance. Does that square me?

PLAY HORSE WITH YOUR
 RARY

BABY
 Our Yankee reader contributes her observations:
 A while ago I read in your col- umn the query of g. woman whose 20-months-old baby refused to walk. The answer you gave her was good, I thought. Of course, it is not impossible that the baby may have a mental defect. However. as 8 mother of fair experience, am inclined to believe that the child lacks only the confidence necessary to commence walking.
 I say this because my son re- fused to walk at the age of 21 months, although he was advanced in talking and in his general de- velopment and muscular strength. He is cautious by nature and in- heritance-regular New England Yankee stock!-you know us, all right. So I bethought myself psy- chology was nedeed. took my belt one day and placed it around his middle. I then suggested to him that he be horse which l would drive. It worked, by appealing to his imagination and helping him overcome his scruples against ex- cesSive display or leg motlon. Al first I gave him some support, but after a few trials dropped my end of the strap and the horse" kept on. After a few perambulations he discovered the driver was not with him. Did he stop walking Not he! He is four years old now. He climbed his first mountain week ago.
 So conclude, give a cautious child some other idea than himself to think of, and his confidence will develop apace. (E.K.M.)
 Our Yankee correspondent teaches a good lesson in pedagogy. The most eminent child psycholo- gist could not do better.
 In the case of the 19-months- old baby we suggested an examina- ton to determine the baby's men, tai capacity. We did not say the baby was mentally defective.

Autos driven by radio, televfsion and grand opera in our homes (made mostly of glass air cooled houses in summer, electric automatons that will gather up the dishes after dinner, wash, dry and put them away and set the table for breakfast. new foods, new ani- mals and vegetables from the bi- ologists, possibly even meat grown by chemical processes in our own kitchens--these are only few of the hosts of things now in sight, and the creative genius of man has just begun to operate.

 Although winter time brings us wealth of fruits and vegetables with. which to compose our salads, we are prone to drop into a rut and serve head lettuce with a French dressing or Thousand Island dressing for dinner after dinner.

Any baby that fails to walk by the 18th month, provided the baby has had intelligent care and req sonable amount of encouragement without too much urging or assist ance, should be examined by the physician, not alone for mental des ficiency, but for physical defects, general malnutrition, paralysis. rickets, etc.
 Contrivances or "baby-walkers" are unnecessary and may be in- furious. Do not restrain the baby's spontaneous efforts to stand up while he holds onto something for support. Do not put silly shoes or other clumsy footwear on the baby who is learning to walk. Only socks or soft moccasins or later the softest baby shoes with no stiff ness in any part. Walking bare- foot is fine for the baby's health and the development of the feet and legs, at all times, provided the baby is comfortable with the feet bare.
 As a rule babies can stand at the age of eleven or twelve months, and they begin to take tottering steps, with plenty of false start and falls, at the age of 13 or IA months, and should be walking un- aided by the sixteenth month.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL
PLANT APPROVED
BY Il TO l VOTE
Council Paves Way for Early
Start on Project at
Meeting Wednesday
MAJORITY is SURPRISE
Vote of 697 For and 80 Against
Believed Biggest Margin
in City's History

By the overwhelming margin of
697 votes for and 33 against, Red
wood Falls voted Tuesday to issue
$4,000 in bonds for the construction
of sewer interceptor and prelimin-
airy sewage treatment plant. 1t is
believed to be the biggest majority
given a project or candidate in the
city's history.
The vote was surprise even to the
most ardent hackers of the proposal.
Worried Tuesday for fear the propos-
al might be defeated because many
who favored it had not voted, drive
was made to get out the vote. Occa-
sional bets of even money that the
measure would fail were reported and
"a great silent opposing vote" was
talked Of.
When the second ward vote was
counted, the sewage measure was as
sured of passage. The vote there
was 403 yes and II no. The first ward
returns which arrived few minutes
later gave 294 for and 16 against,
making the issue carry more than 81
to one.
Several months ago it was argued
that the proposal could not pass be-
cause of the bond issue involved by
persons who pointed to the defeat OF
similar projects in the last three
years. Civic organizations were i'm
pressed with the need of building a
disposal plant and the advisability of
building it at once. They presented
united front in support of the mea-
sure and undertook the task of pre-
senting the matter to the public. How
well they succeeded was never realiz-
ed until Tuesday.
The council met Wednesday night in
special session as canvassing board
to confirm the results of the election
and take steps toward an early let
ting of the contract. Work is ex-
pected to be underway in few
weeks. ~.
