What Are You {
 Going To Give Father?

Fathers day will be generally observed all over the United States tomorrow, and the local merchants have prepared the usual gifts, in- ciuding cigars, cigarettes, ties, to- bacco, slippers and wearing ap- parel. For several years mothers were honored, while the fathers re- mained in the background merely paying the bills. A few years Ago Father's day was started and has proved highly successful.

are very glossy. The curious, conelike
fruit makes the trees attractive in the
Summer and Autumn AS they ripen,
they become very rosy, and later they
open in a very unusual manner. They
hang their seeds on a dangling silk
elastic thread, and the birds gather in
great numbers to pick off the scarlet
fruit.
Magnolias are not hard to grow.
There are so many varieties that you
can select the kind that will grow well
in your locality, feeling pretty sure of
its growing AS they are, first and last.
ornamental trees, care should be taken
to place them correctly. On an estate,
hedge of them is a sight never to
be forgotten.
The wood is pale reddish-brown and
soft. The bark is gray, smooth, and
sometimes brown. The trees attain q
height of IS feet under favorable con-
ditionS.
This tree goes by many names. 1t
is called the beaver tree, because the
beavers were partial to the soft wood
and made their lodges of it; sweet bay,
because it is SO much like the bay tree
of the Old World, which is grown in
tubs by florists and used in this coun-
try for porch decoration. The English
man calls it the laurel tree.
The trees were named for Pierre
Magnol, famous botanist of France.
There are about 20 species. and from
them many snowy varieties and hybridS
are developed.
At present, the range of the magnolia
is fairly restricted. There was time,
however, that this tree fourished in
Europe. Geological research reveals
that at one time the magolia lived in
the regions of the Arctic Circle. Long
ago the trees were growing naturally
in the forests of Canada and Siberia.
They are aristocrats of ancient lineage,
possessed of many virtues and few
faults.
The wood has little commercial
value. It's economic importance lies
in its ability to flourish in cities, and
the beauty of its leaves, with their
silvery white lining and dark green
backs. The flowers are cup shaped,
with enf1ooding petals of creamy white,
gradually turning to pale apricot hue.
They are very fragrant, and whole
neighborhoods have been blessed with
their delightful perfume.
In the North, this tree amounts to
little more than a shrub. It Is an old
garden plant that was introduced into
lovely gardens for the first time before
the seventeenth century. It Is now one
Of the favorites and u being used more
and more IN parks.

studied it. It was one Of those
/ that have a long. long list of
items to be marked by the
teacher. Cooperation, cleanliness,
good citizenship and the like. You
know the list.
"How's this, Peter? You got bad
mark in citizenship last month and
again this month, and the teacher says,
no improvement What's the trouble

get poor mark one month it ought
to be warning to you and you ought
see any improvement on this card
You got B last time and you got B this
time Can't you improve a little?"
Peter looked downcast. He didn't
know what all this improvement was
about. Most children don't know.
Growing is an unconscious process, no
matter in what direction it goes. 1t is
only when somebody says: you've done
better this month";" that a child knows
he is improving.
This improvement that we so greatly
desire does not come with machine-like
response. Children do not grow by
improving evenly day by day They
grow, we all grow, by spurts and rests.
Children seem to incubate ideas over
periods of time, the lengths of which
vary with the nature of the ideas and
the characteristics of the child. Some
children make no outward sign of their
growing for long time and then, "all
Of a sudden" they improve nightly.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

We think this was caused by our In
spiration. More likely the growth was
going on all the time and only showed
above the surface at this time.
The important point about this IS
that there are times. and there are
children, in which improvement does
not show. One must wait and teach
and hope During this waiting time
feed the child lots of encouragement.
Assure him that he is going to sue
ceed. Tell him that it takes a good
bit of work to start an improvement
and that this work must be done faith
fully day by day to lay foundation
for what is to come by and by. If we
are impatient with children's growth,
We make them impatient with them
selves, and that is not a good state for
the mind of any child.
This may explain why children do
not respond to the offers of prizes and
rewards. They want to win them. They
long to succeed for their own sake, and
for the Joy it would give their parents.
But they cannot hurry their growth.
In few days they discover that they
have not improved much, become dis
couraged and stop trying.

for long time. It used to be rather
nice. I never had blackheads, white
heads or enlarged pores before. My
skin IS very sensitive and unless I use
cold cream all the time it becomes dry.
How can I get back the fresh, clear
color and good texture? At night I
cleanse my skin with cold cream, wipe
that of, wash with warm water and
soap, rinse in cool water and dry.
Then I rub on more cold cream and
leave it overnight. In the morning I
wash my face with cold water and use
creamy lotion as powder base before
applying makeup. I renew the powder
during the day. am in perfect phys
ical health. Some friends say I have
babied my face SO that it cannot stand
normal treatment. CD What shade
of powder should I use? I have a
light skin, not very colorful, and me-
dium brown hair and eyes. The pink
ish powder I have been using shows
too much. How can I keep lipstick
from becoming too dry or too oily?
What shade of rouge would suit?
LOUISE.
Answer-G) Yes, I think you have
been babying your skin. Try the fol-
lowing treatments and stick to them
even if your complexion seems to be
getting drier: AT bedtime, cleanse with
cold cream and wipe it Off Do few
facial exercises like those suggested
above to -. c." Wash your face with
warm water and soap, using a camel's
hair complexion brush to work up a
lather. You may find that this irri-
tates your sensitive skin, but it will
get used to tie stimulation; that's what
it needs to keep it young. Rinse off
all the soap. Now rinse in warmer
water and finish with cold rinse Do
not use ice, but use the cold water as
it comes from the faucet. Dry thor
oughly. Omit cream SO that your skin
can breathe normally all night. In the
morning wash your face with cold wa
ter. dry well and apply powder base and
makeup. I suggest an oily base, just
enough to hold the powder. Always
cleanse your skin before making fresh
application of makeup. Failure to do
this results in enlarged pores and black
heads. Once week have facial mas
sage at a beauty shop or give yourself
one. I shall be glad to send you direc-
tions for such treatments if you will write
for them and inclose a stamped. self
addressed envelope with your request.
(2) Try light brunette powder and
medium rose lipstick and rouge. Use
cold cream on your lips before apply
ing lipstick. LOIS. LEEDS.

l. Mind is nothing but the unobserv-
able, delicate movements of bodily
parts There are those who may dis
pute this fact to some extent
2. Your day-dreams include your
ideals and your generosity, as well as
your flights from reality.
3. You will find more prodigies in
the realm of music than anywhere
else.
4. Pythagoras inaugurated the super
stitution that uneven numbers are
lucky numbers. Uneven things have
always seemed more mysterious than
even things.
S. You really have three vocabularies:
One each for speaking, writing and
reading. They increase in size in the
order named.
6. The average male brain weighs
31a pounds, the average female, slight
ly under 3 pounds. Perhaps this is
merely physiological fact. The size
of the brain is not always an indica-
ton of psychological abilities.
z. The dreams you remember are the
ones you have just as you go to sleep.
or just when you are waking.

between the ages Of 9 and II than
