Persons born. in the month of
 May are especially fortunate, for their birthstone is the emerald, most precious of precious stones. The expression green with envy refers not to the May birthday child who wears the emerald birth stone but to people born during the remaining eleven months ana who must content themselves Witn
 birthstones of less value and less romantic background.
 AS far back as 1850 B. c. emer- aids were mined by the ancients who found them worth "a king 3 ransom among the old world aristocrats. Alexander the Great IS said to have employed an army or miners to unearth emeralds for his treasure chests. Cleopatra own ed fabulous emerald mines in upper Egypt. The most precious jewels in possession of the rich Persian Shahs, the Indian Mahara- jas, the Russian Tzars, the Turkish Sultans and, in modern times, or the Kings and Queens of the European courts, were emeralds.
 Not only were. emeralds regard ed as the rarest and most beau- teous of gems, but ancient and medieval beliefs ascribed to emer- aids certain "charms" which pro- tected and benefited the wearer. Emeralds were reputed to drive away evil spirits. They were be- lieved to aid the feminine wearer during the rigors of childbirth. They "cured" common com plaints. The only surviving belief of this character is that emeralds are easy on the eyesight, due to their green color.
 When the Spanish conquistadors invaded South America, they made the richest find of emeralds hither- to recorded. The natives possessed great stores of them, many of which were shiped back to the court of Spain. The exact location of the mines was not discovered by the Spaniards. To-day it is known that they came from the emerald mines of Muzo, near Bogota, capi-

tai city of the South American Re- public of Colombia, biggest pro- ducer of emeralds among the na- tions of the world. Other emerald mines are known to exist in the Ural Mountains, in the Saizbure Alps, in Norway and new South Wales. Occasionally, emeralds are unearthed in the United States ir small quantities, one of the sources being reported in Alexander coun- ty. North Carolina.
 Unlike the diamond, most emer- aids have flaws and these give in- dividuality to the gems and render them more valuable. A f1awless emerald is a rare thing. Few peo- pie, even those claiming the emer- aid as a birthstone ,know that emeralds of the richest dark fiery green hue are mostly Colombian in origin.

The day after the welding Sue was wiping the breakfast cups and saucers and brushing away the crumbs when the mailman came. Jack, reading the morning paper, didn't notice him. Sue was glad that he hadn't, for the only let- ter a letter in a slim, gray masculine envelope. It had been written late the night before, she learned as she opened it-and it was from Arnold Page. Her quick eyes grasped the. con tents and then she read it more slowly. Arnold Page was thank ing her for her helpfulness, her interest in his book. He was sorry that he couldn't use her now. But
 she had finished the major part of the work. Someone at his pub- fishers would do the rest of it for him. When he came back perhaps
 she would help him. But that was in the far off future. A check was clipped to the letter. She opened it. Her blue eyes grew wide. He
 had far, far ovefpaid her for her work.
 But the letter insisted that she
 had earned it, that she must &C., cept 1t.

 the living for them. He needn't know
 One day passed. Two and three
 and four. Jack was slowly growing better.
 Now and then Sue wondered
 about Nancy. Had the reality been as lovely as the illusion of the years?
 Nancy could have told her. Man. cy, wearing gay new sports en-
 sembles of sea-grey-green, rose
 and bright yellow with a splash
 of crimson against white for con
 trast now and then, had grown younger, merrier, more sparkling. The outer cynicism had cracked.
 She was leaning against a smoke stack one night, watching a new
 moon float across the sky. Strains
 of the music where the. orchestra
 played far below drifted over the
 deck and wandered out to sea. The

 "I never thought I would be
 this happy again." Nancy said soft
 ly. She was in white tonight white satin that clothed her like
 sheath and left her hair strange ly black above the whiteness. She had wrapped an ermine cloak
 around her, but it hung loosely
 now, fiuttering in the early spring wind. II thought I would go on and on, having bad moments and ] good ones, and never being very
 much hurt or very happy"
 Arnold Pages hand closed over
 hers. But in the light from a near were stern lines about his mouth. He couldn't forget that he who had been straight and tall and young, willing and eager to dare anl danger, couldn't venture very far any more.
 Don't, please don't think about
 that now" she said swiftly. How do you know I'm think
 ing about it?" he asked, quietly,
 curiously.
 ''Oh, my dear =. you think of little else. And it's so unimpor- ] tant!"

 Try to imagine each street e railroad with. express trains so close together one cannot draw a breath between them.
 With this as a premise, let us think what we would do. We would lose no time erecting high fences along the curhs. There would be bridge-like crossings here and there for pedestrians, reached by ramps or steps, but there would be no hit-and-miss trails over the tracks.
 Children would not need to be warned because there would be no way they could be hurt. Biz cycles, express wagons, skates and balls would be as safe as ping pong because of the fences. No child could get out on the track.
 But Let Us Sec
 Now, come to earth, and look at things as they really are. Our streets are railroads or at least rapid d-transit roads. They are more dangerous than the former be- cause they have lost novelty. When anything becomes familiar to us 1t lowers respect and caution and becomes doubly sinister.
 We of the older generation who remember when there were no automobiles still retain our first fear that seiezd us when they be- gan to appear on the scene. Chil- dren have TO such inhibftions. Moreover they see older people ducking through traffic and that's enough.
 1T have written columns about warning children against dangers once off the pavement. hope it has done some good. But it seems that all the warnings in the world won't reach certain listless people who put the responsibility of their children's safety up to God and let 1t go at that. God has given us wits and expects us to use them. Defiance of Motorists
 This week a child on an express wagon popped out of an alley just ahead of us. We nearly caused a wreck by swerving sharply to the left. Our thanks on looking back was the kid thumbing his nose.
 There you have it! He was mere ly the straw that indicated the home wind--defiance of motorists.
 It doesn't do.
 Of course, fortunately the per- centage of parents who take this attitude is small. Most parents do sensibly warn their children. Even the really careless or indifferent ones are in the minority. No one wants his child killed or maimed.
 But to get into grooves of too philosophic acceptance of road conditions is the easiest thing in the world.
 Who Will Be Next?
 The only way Is to build those imaginary fences. No child with wagon, a ball, bicycle or a pair of skates should be allowed off the curb stone. When he is on his feet and watching carefully he has a chance.
 We think it can happen to others never to us. But this year there will be 50,000 children hurt. Whose will they be?
 I had written this article one morhing. That afternoon I visited the Children's Hospital in Wash ington. I saw a child carried in who had just been run over. The superintendent told me they have five hundred emergency cases a month, a large majority of them rstreet cases" Need I say more?

 'what can do for my sasgins chin 2"
 That is the most persistent cues- ton asked any beauty editor.
 Too bad-women don't give a thought to chins while they are still firm. Any women over 30 should pat up her neck every single nighti
 When your chin really begins to slip, first of all don't let 1t get you down, too. Many a woman has lived. loved and become famous with none too firm a chin line! Second, begin this minute to do the batting you should have done some years ago. Get a commercial patter-but go about it gently. Don't try to make up for lost time by punishing your neck and under chin. Begin with 20 good brisk little pats, after you have applied cream by massaging upward. Add 10 more each night and do your daily 20 mornings, too. Chin straps are not beautiful, but useful. Wear one nights. If you don't want to buy one, tie your chin up with gauge which you fasten on top of yeur head. Not too tight either.
 lChins sag because the muscles from your temples and through your neck weaken. Massage them into action again. And there are special detergents that help you bring that chin into place.

Made very. very small, in different shapes and filled with nuts, raisins, chopped fruit, these tiny dainties simplify your work because you can make a big batch of them at one time.

unacceptable when Woodwork and Thorndike, two noted psycholog- ists, in 1903, showed that high school attn students excelled in Freshman college English and after that there was no difference, even in English, let alone in gen. eral mental powers. They showed that learning to estimate the length of lines twelve inches long did not greatly improve the ability to estimate lines twenty inches long. Numerous experiments have confirmed this in a general way. The result has been that educators have sought to train pupils in things they will use and this has brought much richer mental re- wards than the old sterile doctrine of mental drill"
