MOTHERS DAY

AGAIN the calendar brings to US Moth
n ers' day, which will be observed
throughout the nation tomorrow, when
millions will pay homage to her who
gave them life
While the day is dedicated to all
mothers, its observance in former years
has caused the nation to adopt a mental
picture of mother as a person who has
raised her family and is now in the twi-
light of her years with the major part
of her work finished.
The first to resent such a picture be-
ing adopted permanently are the moth
ers who find themselves in that class
those who have raised their families and
are now enjoying Cor should be enjoy
ing) bit of rest from the arduous tasks
of motherhood.
They would admonish US not to over
look those who are still carrying on the
work which they have so gloriously COM
pleted-the young mothers of today, who
are still bringing new lives into the
world and rearing their families.
The older mother, while she is made
happy by the homage accorded her, re-
mains true to the cardinal principle of
motherhood-oth first and self last
and would have US give the greater
glory to those who still bear the burden
of life and the anXieties that mother
hood brings.
And as always, mother would be right.
There is no need to divide our homage
into greater and lesser portions. Moth
ers' day should be observed as it was in
tended to be-for ALL mothers, young
and old, living and dead
1t is mans privilege as we'll as his
duty, to extend fullest homage to his
mother and accord her the love and
veneration to which she is so richly en-
titled. 1t is even greater privilege and
duty to show homage, love and venera-
ton to her who shares his life and is the
mother of his children.
Man never realizes the real debt he
owes to his mother until he can see and
be part of the love and tenderness which
a mother bestows upon baby who is al

Everyone commented on how
'Buzzie's" eyes are just like his
grandmother Mrs. June Ham

"See the way 'Buzzie' is laughing

Mrs. Roosevelt is preserving for

BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD Z. GARRIS
Copyright, 1892. By Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)

"Oh, what a beauty!" exclaimed
the little orphan rabbit.
Glad you like it!" said the store
keeper dog. Get on and see if you
can ride it."
With Uncle Wiggilys help, Bum
ty climbed up on the seat or sad
die of her new trike and, putting
her paws on the pedals, began to
push. She soon learned how to ride
around the smooth floor of the
store.
But you will not find it so easy
when it comes to riding on the
street." barked the jolly dog, when
Uncle Wiggily had paid for the
trike. ut will be hard riding up
hill"
"Unkie Wig will push me, won't
you, Unkie Wig?" asked Bunty.
That's what I will" promised
the rabbit gentleman.
So Baby Bunty began to ride her
trike home along the sidewalk.
Pretty soon she and Mr.. Longears
were out of the city on the dirt
path that led through the woods.
Here Bunty did not find it so easy
to ride her trike. But she pushed
bravely on until she came to hill
on the top of which was Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow.
"I guess you'll have to push me
now, Unkie Wig" said the little
orphan rabbit when she had tried
and tried to pedal up hill but could
not do it. Push me from in back!"
20. K.," chuckled Mr.. Longears,
and he pushed while Bunty pedal
ed with her paws, and they were
half way up the hill when, all of
a sudden, looking back, Bunty saw
tie Fox sneaking up behind.
"Oh, Unkie Wig! Push hardl
Push fastl The Fox is coming!"
cried Bunty.
Mr.. Longears tried to push hard
and fast but he slipped and fell
down and Bunty on her trike be-
gan rolling backward down hill.
She rolled right past Uncle Wiggily
and she bumped right into the Fox,
banging him with both back wheels
on his soft and tender nose.
"Oh, wow" howled the Bad Chap
as he ran away. II didn't know
Bunty could ride like that" Bunty
rolled on her trike safely to the
bottom of the hill and then Uncle
Wiggily hoped down and pushed
her safely up to the top so every
thing was fine and dandy. Bunty
had much fun riding her new trike
or bike, whatever you want to call
it.
And if the vacuum cleaner
doesn't pick up the cellar rug so
it can't cover up the woodpile to
keep it from catching cold, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
the dolls dinner.

KILL THE FLY

THE CITY health department is to be
l commended for its proposed cam
paign against the fly, providing it really
means to make the campaign effective.
Dire punishment is promised to those
who neglect to keep garbage cans COW
cred, thereby permitting the fly to null
tiply by millions with the possible re-
suit of spreading disease.
Citizens should take it upon them
selves to cooperate by seeing that their
garbage cans are kept covered and that
every other means possible is used to
keep down the birth rate among flies.
While threatening to "bear down on
the private citizen who violates the law,
we hope the health department will not
overlook the greater fly menace permit
ted to exist almost unhampered each
summer in the business district.
A trip through the alleys and even
along the sidewalk on Main street, dur
ing the heated portion of the year Is ac-
complished quite often only by batting
thousands of flies out of the way. Alleys
in particular are allowed to become un-
covered receptacles on a large scale Tor
refuse of various kinds, providing Won
derful opportunity for the flies to de-
velop their race into untold numbers.
In fairness to the merchants, 1t must
be admitted that they make an effort OF
sorts to combat the fly nuisance but pos
siblv the effort can be extended. We be-
lieve the health department will find
them willing to cooperate and by con-
tacting them the authorities will be able
to enlist their best efforts toward keep
ing the flies down to a minimum.

Advice to the Love|om
By Beatrice Fairfax

Sometimes first cousins marry
and have perfectly normal
children, and everything goes
well. Again, the consequences
are unfortunate. 1t seems to
me that if you and your
cousin seriously consider marry
ing, the best person to con-
suit is your family doctor.
He Can Neither Swim Nor Dance
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I read your column every
day, and have decided you
might be able to help me. I
am 16, and have been going
with a boy the same age for
some time. I love to swim and
dance and he can't do either.
What can do to persuade him
to learn how to do both? I
like this boy very much and
would like to continue going
with him, but if he does not
learn to do these two things,
I shall quit.
UNDECIDED GIRL.
It's often a case of pro-
crastination when a boy de-
clines to learn how to swim
and dance, and certainly he is
passing up a lot of fun. You
might tell him that you'll have
to get another boy friend If he
won't acquire these two &C.
complishments. as they mean
so much to you.
He can be taught to swim
properly at the Y. M. c. A.
It's not well for a beginner to
start in a river, And he can
learn to dance in any good
dancing school. but be sure
that it Is patronized by the
right kind of people.

Requisites
Let's first consider the requi-
sites for a home shampoo.
Naturally, soft water is desir-
able; rain water, when obtain
able, is best of all. Here is an
excellent way of testing the
water that runs from the tap
in your locality:
The simplest method of de-
termining the hardness in the
water is by means of a stand
ard soap solution. For this So
luton about "a of an ounce of
pure, dry, powdered CASTLE
soap should be dissolved in a
pint Of distilled water.
Fill a pint bottle half full of
water from the local supply,
add to it just one drop of the
soap solution, cork the bottle
tightly, and shake it vigorous
ly. If a lather forms at once
and remains for a few minutes,
the water is very soft.
If a lasting lather fails to
appear, the water is hard. Your
local druggist can very likely

known it. Perhaps if you had
drawn one of the husbands
that other women are yoWl1ng
for alimony from, you would
get another view Of the tender
emotion. There are two sides
to most questions, but it is
plain that you can only see one
side to the question of ro-
nance, and that with rose
colored glasses on. Take a trip
down to the court of domestic
relations some day when you
have nothing else to do and
listen to the stories told by
few of the women whose "feet
have trod the garden Of de-
light" You will find that in
many cases their ecstatic ro-
nance has left them with half
a dozen helpless, hungry chill
dren, whose papa has walked
out on the mother because he
found a younger, snapper
woman, or because the worry
of maintaining a family in
these days proved too much for
him.
Some women, to be sure, can
take a sporting attitude about
the deal that fate has handed
them in the game of romance.
Some are philosophical enough
to balance the sheet as you
suggest, to count the happy
hours as compensation for the
bad, and to consider that any
experience in life leaves them
the richer for having lived.
But with others their grlev-
ances are too bitter and sharp
to be lightly overlooked. So
maybe you're better off for
never having been Cooked at"
There are worse fates in life
than being love starved.

Save Silk Shades
From the Heat
Of Summer

These summer days, when
dust and CRIME and sun play
havoc with fine furnishings, the
new crepe paper lamp shade
covers are a boon to careful
housewives. They solve the
problem of how to protect fine
shades of silk and parchment,
and besides, they give a dis
tinctly summery air to a room.
Replace Silk Shades
The easiest imaginable things
to make, and the least expen-
sive, they are likewise so at
tractive that many women have
been using them as regular
lamp shades over wire frames.
The idea is simply to use pale
yellow or white crepe paper,
which does not. obscure the
light, and which is delightful
to work with.
These pleated shades are
smart and practical, and there
are only few simple steps in
making them. In fact, they
are so simple that we will give
you directions here and now,
without the bother of having to
write in for them.
Tied With Ribbon
Take a piece of crepe paper,
cut it across the grain, about
an inch more than the desired
depth, and long enough to fold
in loose pleats. An easy way to
measure the pleats accurately is
to use a ruler or guide of heavy
cardboard, cut as large or
small as you wish to make the
pleats.
To hold the pleats together,
punch holes about an inch and
half down from the top edge,
and run cord or ribbon in
and out Of the holes. The
shade is put together by over
tapping the last pleats at each
end and pssting them together.
Adjust the pleats to fit your
lamp before tying the cord Sc
curely.

lope, or call District $3.50, ex-
