bidding so startled their FEM

But the pale blush half-moon

Turkey Tricks

Thanksgiving turkey contests
seemed to have a habit Of
working peculiar tricks this
year.
One young District official
who, to say the least, has
never been noted for his ability
as a nimrod, engaged in a
turkey shoot and was one Of
the contestants to win a bird.
He had already purchased a
fowl from a store just to be
sure of his dinner.
Another man, belonging to
a club which every year tosses
names in a hat and draws lots
for the bird, won his fifth con.
secutive bird in the five years
that he has participated in
the lottery.

For years, a man in New York
has sent money to the school to

died not long ago and it ap-
peared that the boys and girls
might go without turkey this
year. Then Mrs. Given heard
Of it.
From various sources she col

Big Bad Bankers

Officials Of the NRA are
certainly digging down into the
books to find satisfactory epi-
thets to direct at the bankers
and their clique.
Speaking at a meeting Of
the Federal Bar Association
not long ago, Blackwell Smith,
assistant to Donald Richberg,
was cropping for a simile to
apply to the mien of bankers
before and after March 4.
Finally he quoted:
"Then, just as the knife was

In fact, he had shouted HUI

He found himself struck by
that subtle Calmuck,

SEWING
BY ANGELO PATRI

WISH you would tell me how
! to teach my daughter to sew.
She Ia now twenty years old and
cannot make her own dresses. May
be ! ought not to say that. She
does make her dresses when I COM
pei her to do SO. But she makes
such a fuss and cries, and the dress
has TO be ripped out and sewed
again. and next time 1t Is the same
old story. She hates to sew.
Il can sew anything, and my sec
ond daughter Is a wonderful needle
woman. Why can't l teach my old
est daughter to sew7 She has grad
uated from college and Is starting
TO work In a very nice position, but
that means more books. She loves
books and nothing else. She reads
n she wants to write, and | tell
her she must sew evenings Instead
OF reading. She does enough of that
daytimes- But 1t is a terrible strug-
gle"
There Is no reason under the sun
why this girl should be bothered to
death about sewing. Why should
she sew7 She can't sew. II she
could she would without any com
pulsion. This girl Is evidently very
different from her sister and her
mother. Why not? One good needle
woman Is enough for any family.
Let the other girl stick to her
books.
Sewing is an art once 1t gets be-
yond the button sewing and hem
ming stage. An artist Is born with
his gift within him. all ready to
spring into action at the first hint
of welcoming opportunity. No
amount of teaching, drill, pressure,
will make an artist out of an arti-
san.
This happens oftener than you
think between parents and children.
Maybe III is happening In your own
family. Maybe you are saying, But
you can't be a bee man. Nobody In
Il family ever was a bee man.
You're positively silly. Whoever
heard of making a living by being
a bee man? Get this nonsense out
of your head. Study your chemis-
try. | want you to get high marks
IN chemistry. You can be a chem
icai engineer. oh. yes, you can.
All you have to do Is to put your
mind on 1t. II | could learn chem
istry, you car. There's a fine field
waiting for you. Now. forget this
bee man business. Make something
out of yourself. All right. You'll do
just what | tell you. That's the

THE FALL BONFIRE

In every village the fall bonfire is
a public institution. The blue tinted
smoke curls lazily up to heaven
from the smouldering leaves and
vines. 1t is not a wholly popular
institution, since the householder
often lights the heaped up pile with
out asking whether the smoke is
going to blow on the clothes line
next door.
The fall bonfire gets rid of a vast
amount of rubbish. If your dead
leaves and faded vines and plants
go up in smoke, they aren't littering
up your home place with their un-
slightly refuse.
AS those cheerful flames begin to
dance, the kid element flock from all
quarters. In the good old days, the
householder had a way of sticking
few apples and potatoes into the
heap. The roasted fruit extricated
later from the ashes tasted better
than the epicure's food. 1t made

big chief, living an Indian life amid

SCHOOL BOARD ACTS
ON LOAN PROPOSAL
Resolution To BE Presented Cover
nor On Position OF State Borrow
ing Funds.

The request of Governor C. Doug
lass Buck for an expression of its
attitude on the proposal to borrow
$2,500,000 from the State School
Fund for the financing of the public
works program was discussed on
| Wednesday by the members of the
State Board of Education at Dover
and after a lengthy consideration a
resolution was adopted which will
be presented to the Governor setting
forth its position. The text of the
resolution will not be made public
until after it has been presented to
the Governor.
The board canvassed the results
of the recent special school cleo
tions held in Delmar and Magnolia
for new buildings in those places.
The Delmar election showed the
result there selected the following
as members of the School Commits
sion: S. N. Culver, George M. Nell
son, H. E. Phillips, and S. M. Ellis.
They were sworn in and effected an
organization by electing George M.
Nelson, chairman; E. A. Simon, vice
chairman and DR.. H. V. Holloway,
acting secretary. S. NJ. Ellis, Robin
son, Stanhope and Manning were
chosen as architects.
The Magnolia Commission was al
so sworn in and consists of Caleb
Johnson, George V. Collins, w. P.
Jackson and J. Leonard Soper. The
board organized by electing j.
Leonard Soper, chairman; Warren
Price, vice chairman; DR.. H. V. Hol-
loway, secretary, and Caleb w. John
son, acting secretary.
Both commissioner will act in con-
junction with the State Board.
The Board considered counter pro-
posals from Rehoboth, Roxana and
Odessa as to building larger schools
than the State Board had planned.
1t was finally decided to write each
of the schools and explain the
Boards attitude on their requests,
both from financial standpoint and
that of enrolment, which apparent
ly does not seem to warrant larger
The question of bonding tax col
lectors, which has been before the
State Board on other occasions, was
continued until further information
,an be obtained from the States
egal authority.
