Your Baby and Mine

"HE rare delight experienced by
adults In watching their gar

L the children. The children's
garden should be separate and
distinct from the adults. In a little
square, carefully fenced off by twigs
and twine, they may spade and rake
and smooth down the earth that is
to be enriched with their own onion
and few quick-growing flowers.
The children can use with ease and
proficiency the small garden imple-
ments that are suited to their size. A
little tactful manipulation of the soil
by the adults can be done when it will
least detract from the children's be-
lief that they are doing all the work
themselves.
Sample packages of seeds will pro-
vide the small gardener with choice
selection and in amounts suitable to the
dininutive size of his garden plot. Let
each send for these samples under his
own name and increase his sense OF
Importance and responsibility when he
receives the packages from the mailman.

Black Chuck's Castle.

And In their plans put safety first.
Johnny Chuck

And in their plans put safety arst:
TINE black Chuck's home had been
ruined. He knew now that never
again would he enter it. An at
Il tempt to kill him had been
made with poisonous gas. He
didn't understand 1t at all, but he did
understand that something was very
wrong and his home was no longer a
safe place.
WELL" said Johnny Chuck, what
are you going to do now?"
Il don't know" replied the black
Chuck mournfully. II no longer have
home"
What Of ftp" demanded Johnny
Chuck. Neither have l."
do you mean that you haven't any
home at alp" demanded the black
Chuck.
"That is what it amounts to-" re-
piled Johnny "Of course there are
some old houses I could make use of
if I wanted to, but I don't want to. .
What about the house you spent
the Winter in?" demanded the black
Chuck.
Johnny cluckled. Some one else has
it," he replied.
did some one drive you out?" asked
the black Chuck.
Johnny scratched his nose. There
wasn't room for me any longer" said
he. "Polly Chuck wanted it,"
oh" said the black Chuck.
Anyway, I always feel like wander
ing about at this season of the year.
When get ready III dig new home, -
said Johnny. Il suppose that now
you have lost your home you will get
out and see little of the Great World"
Perhaps" said the black Chuck.
But if 1 do I think I'll come back
here. There is going to be good eating
here, and what Chuck could be happy
without eating?"
BY this time they had reached the
old stone wall. In places the stones
had fallen. Bushes grew along both
sides of it. The black Chuck stopped
So did Johnny. This is a good wall"
said he. Il do like a good stone wall
In time of danger. Do you know what
would do If I were in your place?"
''What?" asked the black Chuck.
Il would dig me house under this
wall. That is what I would do," re-
piled Johnny.
I've already begun one," confessed
the other
"Where?" demanded Johnny.
The black Chuck led the way along
the old wall. He disappeared between
some large stones. Johnny followed.

The Old Gardener Says:

Probably more vegetables will
be planted in home gardens this
season than in many years. This
is an important economy meas
ure. If properly managed, a plot
so by 100 feet should provide
fresh vegetables for a family of
five. with surplus Of tomatoes,
corn, beans and other kinds to
can. There also will be parsnips,
carrots, beets, squashes and tur-
nipS to store for Winter 1t will
be impossible to get good crops
without the use of fertilizers, and
nothing is better than barnyard
manure If it can be obtained.
When manure is used, however.
an application of 100 pounds of
phosphate should be added be-
cause manure is not balanced
fertilizer. Only good seeds
should be purchased, and care
should be taken to avoid the
common mistake of planting too
deeply.

II letter asking for Corner clip
4 a pings but at the end OF the
letter, instead of name, find
the words, with much love from one
of your members"
should guess that this letter is from
girl about 10 years of age. II I knew
her name. I would send her leaflet;
but not knowing how to address her, I
must set her letter aside.
When I receive letter which lacks
name or address, it makes me think of
the care which the great majority of
readers take about such things when
they write to me- MANY readers send
letters without a single mistake in
spelling.
Here is "tip' about learning to
spell. When you read book, look with
care at the words you read. That will
help you master the art of spelling.
II you see a word which seems to
have the wrong spelling. look it up in
good dictionary. Sometimes there
are two correct spellings for the same
word. On the other hand, there are
such things as printers errors" and
a mistake in spelling may be due to
mistake in setting the type.

from reader who recently returned

Facial Exercise Needed.

~ EAR MISS LEEDS-I am re-
ducing under the direction of
a specialist who treated me for
- the same thing before. On
previous occasions my face has
looked haggard and worn for about
two months. How can I avoid this
beauty problem this time? ]. c.
Answer - Reducing with drugs or
diets without exercise usually has the
effect you describe. I would suggest
facial exercises such as the following:
% Throw your head back and stretch
your chin up as high as you can;
thrust your lower jaw out. keeping lips
closed, and then draw it back. Repeat
this movement four or five times day.
90 Throw head back and with lips
closed go through vigorous chewing
movements. 90 Close your mouth and
blow out your cheeks.
Spend five minutes doing these eX-
erciseS twice day after you have be-
come accustomed to them. But start
by doing them for two minutes at d
time. Be outdoors an hour or more
daily Your problem is not only to
lose fat, but to build up firm, healthy
muscles. Ask your doctor what exer-
cises would suit your condition.

Conquering Contract
P. HAL SIMS

in an opening no trumper. II your
doubleton includes the queen, there Is
no need to bid a four-card major suit.
II the doubleton Is worthless, like to
bid a major suit which qualities under
the above conditions when the whole
hand is rather weak. I do this with the
hope that the opening bidder may have
four of the suit, resulting in a major
suit contract for four-odd rather than
for three no trumps. This Is safety
consideration. When the responding
hand is strong there Is no reason to fear
no trumps; the more you have In the
other suits, the more your partner Is
sure to have in your doubleton suit.
There will be no danger in no trumpS
and there is no need to scare the enemy
from leading your best suit. They are
unlikely to have any obvious damaging
lead to make and are prone to select an
unbid major suit before they have seen
the dummy. To illustrate these points,
my response would be two spades on

AN. ANTI-LYNCHING LAW

7 Unless Governors and local officials dis
~ play more courage in curbing blood lust
Of mobs, Senator Costigan Of Colorado will
find the sentiment Of the United States roll
ing up behind his promised federal anti
lynching bill by the opening Of congress. On
Wednesday occurred another revolving lynch
ing in Missouri, following the recent mob
crimes in Maryland and California.
None believes that the federal government
is repository Of the nations conscience. We
are not ready for the liberalization of police
powers. But just as it took the federal gov
eminent to make effective war on kdnapers
so it is necessary to invoke federal power to
stop lynching.
Civilized America will not can not brook
these barbarous outbreaks against the law. If
sheriffs fail to hold their prisoners secure the
state governments must move in and help
them. If Governors, like CALIFORNIA; Rolph,
invite and condone rabble rule, or, like Mary
lands Ritchie, delay adequate state protec-
ton, what is left but federal action?
A federal anti-lynching law has been dis
cussed for years. The Dyer bill almost passed
congress in 1922, when it went through the
house on a vote of $50 to 119 to be flibustered
to death in the senate. In recent years the
old evil Of lynching appeared to be diminish
ing gradually. This year the embers of
lawlessness have famed. There have been
twenty-seven lynchings already this year,
compared with ten for 1882.
Since only a few states have passed ade-
quate anti-lynching laws federal law is re-
quired. 1t should have teeth enough to insure
that the lowliest American, regardless of his
race or the charge against him, gets the pro-
lection of due process of law as guaranteed
by the Constitution.
