HY YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton :
9ssss 57 Nzz sfsgiex: sxe;

One time I bet on a horse race. hadn't an idea of betting when I went to that beautiful track, put the day was exhilerating, the races exciting, and everyone around me was hauling out bills and throwing inhibition to the wind.
 Some people lost, some only made a few cents but had my eye on those who had bet on long shots and were tucking big change in to their bags.
 So I thought, Here goes" l jumped off the deep end of to tune of two dollars on q long shot Tor "place." I won several dollars. IT I had said straight" I'd have had about fifty dollars. My nice little sorrei nosed in ahead of all the rest.
 Was excited and happy? Well. not exactly. I nursed 8 grouch for month because hadn't won the fifty dollars.
 Then It Was Lost
 But the money l won did not last. I put 1t up bit by bit on the last three races and lost 1t all. l was just where I began-or was I? No. For a long time was restless. I wanted to go back to that beau tiful place, with the lake and pink fiamingoes in the paddock, it's palm trees, the excited,S well-dressed crowd, and watch those silky horses with their satin-coated jockeys tearing round the track. You would have to be there to un- derstand.
 Now don't be too hard on me for this wild oat, please. am not q gambler. It just happened that caught in the contagion of crowd I went along and had a good time doing 1t. Since the days of Marcus Arelius, visitors to strange land feel privileged to abide by the sage's advice to his country friend. When here do as the Romans do" All this confession is to show that know what games of chance do to the blood. Once started, they get you. You lie awake wondering why you earn your living by punching @ clock, or sitting at a desk all day when you can be stuf- fing bills in your purse for nothing It is a bad business all the way through.
 I think that once child gets this feeling 1t Is serious matter. The real world of work Is lost to him.
 A Children's Disease There exists in many of our big cities the well known numbers racket, selling chances to children for few pennies, and robbipg them. But robbing isn't the worst of it. Just enough of them :'strike, getting twenty-some dollars for a nickel, to keep the fever in their blood. And 1t is fever. once in, il 1t seldom gets out, unless one ii old enough and level-headet enough to sense it's danger. l More harm is done by these lot teries carried on near school build
 ings where touts of the racketeerl do their work than parents ant teachers can hope to overcome. l
 has spread over the land like {
 plague and should be stopped a Eonce by a crusade of decent mind
 ed citizens.
 Don't, I beg of you, let the chil
 dren buy chances in this racket
 And don't get in 1t yourself if yo, don't want them to copy you. Peo
 pie are losing their happiness an . even their minds over it--as wel ] as their money. My particula problem is the children: l ar pleading for them.

 from petty financial annoyance and
 constant struggle to heights of
 prosperity.
 Soon Atlas Coupler recovered
 and gradually went on to @ new high for the year.
 Eve was worried about her
 mothers health. She was anxious
 for her vacation to arrive so she might be with her. Esther was at home and reported favorable prog ress, although their mother suf- fered. Both Kate and Hank Bay less found their household bright ened by the presence of Esther'i baby who was toddling about the house and beginning to talk. And Eve was concerned about Dick, too. The building which housed the theater was completed
 and Dick left for Chicago to clear up some loose ends of business in connection with the building. He was in conference at the company headquarters for several days and the time until his return seemed to Eve interminable.
 Much would depend upon his next job, Dick had made clear to her before he left. It was scarcely likely that the Chicago firm would have another long contract in Lake City immediately. Dicks next joh might be in another city or even another state. Eve again refused to consider this possibility until she faced the actual facts. She met Dick at the station the
 June morning he returned from Chicago. How handsome he looked
 as he swung down the steps carry
 ing his Gladstone!
 Hello. sweetheart" he greeted
 her.
 Darling" she murmured, kiss-
 ing him regardless of bystanders. And in the taxi riding home she
 asked many questions except the
 one uppermost in her thoughts -
 where he was to work next? Dick had brought her an ivor, cloisonne compact and she was de. lighted with 1t. Always. she told
 him, she had wanted really beau tiful compact and this was doubl, precious because he had chosen il
 for her.
 Dick unpacked his bag and Eve | poured cup of coffee for him Then 1t was time for her to go tt
 the office. He drove her down 1T

OATMEAL MUFFINS

over in Hawaii, the oriental tots have not been accustomed to any cereal except polished rice, That, of course good as 1t IS, doesn't furnish all the food value of the whole grain. Especially vita min B is absent the element that promotes appetite, among other things. When it's lacking entirely, disease called Beriberi results. The home economies teachers in charge of the meals given to the Hawaiian school children, turned to the invention of new ways to serve whole grain cereals. These simply gorgeous oatmeal tor cracked wheat) mullins came into being. And they're really clever! The youngsters didn't realize cereal was being served-clamored Tor

 Two very original numbers H. lustrate two definite trends in fall hats. A little velvet dress hat caps the top of the head, then has rows of velvet feathers Cor fringe) down each side of the back, touch- ing every now and then, with space between left wide open to show your shining locks. It can be worn as is, off the face, or over the right side in front, or over the left side in front. This hat illustrates the necessity for individual adjust ment of new styles to your own need. Wear 1t the way it becomes you most.
 The second model is an original and amusing Tyrolean hat. It is wired, crocheted string, decidedly Italian in its influence, different from most of the Tyrolean num- bers. It is a gorgeous brown and perched on the crown is a feather made entirely of the same string as the hat. Since many American women object to feathers on hats, this substitution of other materials | for feathers Is on the increase.

 YOURSELF

When 1t comes to being beauti- full, there are so many things you
 shouldn't do as there are those which you should do.
 It may sound little confusing, but the really clever woman fig-
 ures out all the rules af the beauty
 game and then does only the things which add to her beauty and charm, avoiding all the factors which might make her less attrac- tive.
 For example, knowing where not to put rouge is about as inn portant as knowing just where it should go. If the shape of your face profits by the placement of rouge high on the cheekbones, don't make the mistake of putting it up there one time and down low | the next. Don't put rouge on your ears. And don't put it on your chin unless some reliable author ity has figured out that it will be | fiattering to you. Discretion by Day Don't use too much eye make up in the daytime. Say what you | will, evening is really the time for it. Of course, if your brows and
 lashes are quite colorless. by all means use little cosmetic dye on them.
 | Don't dress your hair in an elab- crate, hard-to-keep-in-place coif- l fure when you go to the office. Save 1t for evening or dress-up oc- casions and stick to simple hair dress for business hours. | Don't wear pink rouge with or ange lipstick. The tones of your rouge and iipstick should match. In other words. let your own good taste act as a check on your | makeup ideas-the same as 1t does in your choice of clothes. NEyn. Rafsae fazffdious

marked. That is. If you still in- sist on going to work"
 "what do you mean?" asked Eve, her heart pounding with sus- pense.
 I'm not going to have anything to do for couple of months" he answered.
 Marya and Ray had returned from their honeymoon and twice Marya had lunched with Eve and Arlene when she was down town on shopping trips. That morning she telephoned to Eve at the office. "Now that we are settled" Marya said, i've want dinner with us. We're inviting Ar lene and Sam Holeridge, too. Ray and I both like Sam"
 When Eve repeated this invita- tion Arlene protested. But Sam is likely to be three sheets to the wind! l wish Marya would ask George Bliss instead. can't think of a greater inducement to matri- mony than submitting a man to the influence of Marya's romantic bungalow. And I'm going to wear my rose chiffon too."
 Arlene wore 1t, entrancing Sam who called for her in a long, pow erful roadster.
 "Want the top down?" he ask ed. Arlene agreed enthusiastically and they spend along Lake Road, hatless and windblown, with laughter on their lips.
 Marya in bouffant pink batiste, was e delightful hostess. The dim ner table was laid with light green damask, ivory dishes, amethyst glassware and Marya wedding sil- yer. The food was delicious. Sam praised Marya's skill as an artist and then offered to arrange for the sale of her batik work at the store where he was employed. "I hadn't planned to do much of that sort of thing" Marya said, "but 1t would give me the oppor- tunity to earn some money for art lessons. My ambition Is to special ize in child portraiture. Oh, l know I'll have to study years and years and work very hard - but don't mind that!"
 Later when the three girls were together Eve said, "Marya, this Is story-book house! I expect to waken any moment and find out that I've been dreaming. Surely you have nothing to wish for!"
 Marya, smiling serenely. an" swered. Nothing but a cradle with a cherub in it."
 Eve was always to remember that. On the way home she said to Dick in a wistful voice, "Dick, do YOU think we will ever have a lovely home like that?" "That depends!" he answered. But he did not say on what 1t de- (To Be Continued)

 The ability to finish a meal with a plate of ice cream and cake with icing may seem Q small thing Of little importance. So may box of candy brought home at the end of the week.

Aside from the pleasure and sense of well-being derived from desserts they contribute quick energy by their sugar.

But don't get the idea that you can just stick one of these on any hat. You can't. The hats are designed to make the ornaments part of their shapes and coloring.
 Jewelled ornaments come second in popularity to feathers in the new hats.

Fashion has changing skyline this fall. You can go in for high crowned Tyrolean numbers, or artists huge velvet berets, or little Dutch Boy hats that achieve height by feathers sticking up like wind- mills. Or you can go lady-lady and carefully adjust a squashy little bit of @ feathered fancy or velvet toque over your curls.
 The best hats come in the cat egory of "milliners' hats" That simply means that they are un- usual shapes, carefully cut and made and cannot be turned out in large numbers.
 Feathers are one of the favorite trims for dress hats. Little ruffs of ostrich tips scoot along one side

REQUESTS AID.

LOS ANGELES, Feb ?. sU.P} -
An appeal that California rscipro-
cate with its trading neighbors by
using copper to the exclusion of
substitutes was warmly received to-
day by a committee Of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce.
The domestic trade committee OF
the chamber prepared TO ask the
board Of directors to urge the use
OF copper. whenever possible in the
construction of Boulder dam and
the Colorado River aqueduct pro-
jects.
The committee decided to act af-
ter listening TO appeals delivered in
behalf of Il copper producing states
by p. @. Spilsbury, president OF
the Arizona Industrial Congress,
and L. J. Little, chief engineer OF
a large copper company.
The speakers pointed out that
increased consumption of copper
would react favorably in California
by increasing the demand for To-
cal supplies and products, shipped
to copper producing states. Mon
tana. a large producing state, was
cited as buying in normal times So

ducts annually, mostly fruit and

dog license fees, the funds to be
used by the proposed humane Of
ficer IN the conduct OF his office.
The plan was generally discussed,
ard the committee appointed to
enter into the matter thoroughly
with the supervisors. 1t is probable
that some agreement will be reach
ed at the meeting of the Supervi-
sors and the committee.
In addition to considering the
proposition Of creation of a county
humane office, the council last
night took up other routine busi-
ness.
In a letter from'the League ofCal-
ifornia Municipalities, a proposed

upon the state legislature to adopt
a law allocating gasoline tax funds
TO cities and counties. BY the pro-
posed plan cities of the state, for
the first time, would get a share
of the funds. El Centro's share. ac-
cording to the letter submitted
