NANCY PACE
Does One-Fourth of Your
Income Go For Shelter?
BY FLoRENCE LA GANKE,

A lecture In the budget series dealt
with the money spent for shelter.
The model budget says that one
fourth Is the largest amount that should
be spent for shelter. But the figure
may be modified. The lowest standard
Is for shelter that shuts out winds and
storms, allows the family to be dry.
There should be strong and secure
enough walls to keep In the heat.
Fortunately most Of us do not have
to think Of housing in such meager
and miserable terms We expect our
homes to have comforts, sanitary ar
rangements, adequate heating facilities
and a certain degree Of charm.
II one weeks pay out Of each months
income Is set aside for rent the family
need not feel it is being extravagant."
Immediately q member in the class
spoke up and said, Suppose you are
not renting but are buying your home,
then?"
Strange as 1t may seem, It Is Just
about as expensive one way as another.
The home owner has taxes to pay,
mortgages to meet, repairs to take care
Of. Houses need painting, re-rooflng.
II the money is tied up in the house
instead Of earning interest in the bank,
that should be taken into account.
There is feeling Of pride and COM
munity spirit IN q house owner which
. renter may not have, however, and
that is worth much.
A family may have to spend q little
more than q fourth of the income in
order to give growing children light, air
and yard to play In. Or accessibility
to place Of business may complicate the
location chosen.

mo one will ever think Of us as living
under this old barn. Now let us 60
out and look around to find the best
ways Of approaching and leaving it."
Mrs. Reddy followed him out and
with the greatest care they looked over
the inside Of the old barn and all the
surroundings. Just before they went
out Mrs. Reddy caught Mouse, and
this was all that was needed to win
her full approval. She became even
more enthusiastic than Reddy. It was
she who picked out the best ways of
entering and leaving without attracting
the attention Of any who might be near.
It was she who discovered that by
running along q certain fallen timber
and making q long leap to another
before entering the hole in the floor
they could break their trail in case q
Dog should follow them there.
But If we are chased we won't come
here at all unless we absolutely must, "
she said.

AZ RS. REDDY looked at Reddy
nu Fox, at the ruin Of an old
V barn In the shadow Of which
4 i he was sitting, and then al
around. II don't see anything
that looks like safe retreat around
here" said she in tone Of disappolnt-
ment.
Reddy grinned Follow me and you
will" he replied and turned toward the
old ruin Of barn.
For an instant Mrs. Reddy hesitated.
She was suspicious of buildings. even
an old wreck Of one like this. She was
suspicious OF anything that had to do
with man. Over his shoulder Reddy
impatiently called Come on!' She
hesitated more, and then followed.
Reddy led the way inside that old
barn. One end had fallen. Reddy dis
appeared in an opening under the
fallen timbers. She followed. Again
he disappeared. This time it was
through hole in the floor. For q
second Mrs. Reddy hesitated again, but
only for second. Beneath the floor
it was dry and comparatively warm.
And In far corner was a hole, down
in the ground, an old Woodchuck hole
close to an opening in the underpinning
Just big enough for one no larger than
b Chuck to slip through.
See" said Reddy "all we have to do
s to dig this old Chuck hole . little
larger. The earth Is sandy and easy
TO dig. for Jack Frost hasn't been able
to freeze 1t much. My dear, isn't this
the most perfect hide-out you ever
dreamed of?"
Secretly Mrs. Reddy admitted to her
self that it was and she was delighted
with 1t. But to Reddy she said: Sup
posing We are chased here by Dogs.
There seems to be but one way In here
and If hunter should follow the Dogs
we would be trapped"
Reddy chuckled inside, taking care
that Mrs. Reddy shouldn't know It. He
knew that she was pleased but didn't
want to show 1t. "Supposing Dogs do
chase us here" said he. THAT hole In
the floor above Is too small for any but
q small Dog to get through, and there
are few that would venture In. Even
II one did he would have to dig to get
Dog If hunter should find that we
had disappeared through that hole in
the floor what could he do about It?
My dear, this place is even safer than
our home in the Old Pasture. But We
won't let any one know we are living
here If we can help it."
Get out of the way!" exclaimed Mrs
Reddy suddenly, and pushing Reddy
aside began to dig in that old Chuck
hole. After a few minutes she backed
out. "It will do," said she, although
wish we had another way to It be-
Ndes that hole in the barn floor"
1T is that very way Of getting to It
that makes it 50 safe" declared Reddy.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PAT1I.

7 HAVE had several letters from
mothers Of very young children
asking what can be done to check
i the cruelty they show toward
animals. II am horrifed at the
treatment the baby gives our dog. He
IS faithful old watch that we have
had five years and the baby sticks his
fingers in his eyes, pulls his ears and
his tongue, steps on his tail, pulls his
hair. I can't make him stop. Does
this mean that he is going to be cruel
to all animals? What can do about it?
Little children who are Just getting
about the world know nothing Of cruel
ty. They have not suffered it. Pain
Is almost stranger to them and they
have never experienced willfully in
f1icted pain. They do not understand
that they hurt the animal. They are
trying to find out what he Is made OF.
what he does, how he behaves when
animal turns on them they are sur
prised and hurt. That teaches them
not to do too much and that helps
some.
We train little children to be kind
to animals. When they hurt them we
tell them so and we appeal to their
emotions. their tenderness for hurt
things. their affection for their friends,
the dog and the cat, their sportsman
ship and the like. Lecturing them
about it will not help much, but an
appeal to their feelings will help lot.
Cruelty to animals is excusable in
little children. It Is to be corrected
and trained out Of them. In children
over 6 and under 10 it IS to be guarded
against and punished. The pets are
taken from their care. The grown
up people express their disapproval by
word and action. The offender Is made
to feel himself outside the line But,
when a child over 10 willfully hurt an
animal, there Is no excuse. He has to
stop. He has to change his attitude
toward the helpless creatures that come
his way or be helped to change it.
Very few children are cruel to ami
mails knowingly. When you come across
such q child you know he Is unusual.
You watch him and study him to see
what ails him. Something is wrong.
His mental and physical health are
questionable. The cause Of the feel
ing that vents itself upon the animals
must be found, rooted out and the
child helped to health and happiness.
Children who hurt animals are not
happy children. Happy children know
and reflect loving kindness. It is use
less to ask child to reflect love. No
body does that consciously.

my Dear Mrs. Post-A dreadful
thing happened to me lately. Relatives
were invited to our house for the eve
ming, but they misunderstood and came
for dinner Neither my husband nor I
offered any excuses or apologies for
the meal we were able to offer, but
we both felt very badly that 1t was

naturally be. What shall I do now to

can to make up for the shortcomings
Of the other dinner.

THAT BODY OF YOURS
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M d.

Medicine and Surgery, is worth quoting:
"A cold Is not . cold TO me, it's
Natures way to tell
That I've been dining recently, not

A snufIly nose has come to mean that

Or else, perchance, a wondrous steak
with onions crisp and brown
Has made my liver make of me q
menace to the town.
Or it might be chunk Of cheese or
mince pie, hot and sweet;
But q cold Is not q cold to me-it's
Just too much to eat"
You can readily see, then, that the

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

A STORY of pioneering and adj
"a venture strikingly like the
story of the development of the
American west lies back of the
building of RusiSa's great Asiatic
empire.
There, as in America, there were
vast empty spaces to populate, hos
tile natives to fight, rich natural re-
sources to tap. boom towns to be
built, opportunities for the daring
and the footloose.
An outline of the story is con-
tanned in Russia and Asia" by
Prince A. Lobanov-R ostovsky, a
Russian emigre who now is on the
faculty of the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles.
1t presents a chapter in history
with which most Of us are totally
unfamiliar, and the chapter proves
an uncommonly interesting one.
Who are the "RuSSians?" An OBJ
Scure Slavic race first seen on the
slopes of the Carpathians a few
centuries after the breakup of the
Roman empire.
How they spread over European
Russia, built an empire, suffered
the shock of successive eruptons of
conquering Asiatic hordeS, made
their empire secure and then spread
out over Siberia, Turkestan and ad-
jacent lands. using tiny armies of
200 to 500 men to conquer half
continent, makes most absorbing
reading.
At present, the author believes,
Russia, definitely is facing the east.
Despite superficial changes, he be-
lieves that the policy of Soviet Rus
sla is not unlike that of the czars.
The five-year- plan, he says, will
give Russia an enormous advantage
in her eastward drive. The current
turmoil in Manchuria probably is
the curtain-raiser to an intellectually
important swing in world history.
