Rp YOUR CHILDREN
 Bv Olive Roberts BartoN

A mother often wonders why children forget so easily. Five min utes after she has given an order that's all there is to it. She might as we'll have saved her breath. Why is 1t so? Why does an or der have to be repeated over and over again sometimes before II registers?
 Simple as can be-the child has not heard it at all.
 If you happen to be baking q cake and counting spoonfuls or this and cupfuls of that, the gas man can come in and read the meter, fall over the cat, and knock the milk bottles down the steps, but your attention being on the cake you didn't see him at all. A week later you may say, II wonder why the gas man hasn't been here this month! I've been home every second"
 Children Concentrate Intensely There is deep engrossment of mind at times that makes the brain a blank to any other impress sion.
 Children are capable of more obliterating concentration than grown-ups. They think and feel one thing at a time, while we have a dozen things to keep on the line at once. Any adult who has schooled himself anew in the art of concentration has to undo the habits of years and go back to childhood methods discardinE everything from his mind but the one thing at hand.
 l u is very hard to do. l Minds Seldom Idle. | When we want child to hear
 what we say we must be sure he
 is not excited or deeply interested in something else at the moment. | A boy reading book won't hear
 a word we say although he may
 answer "Yes, mother, I'm going
 right away" A little girl playing
 house with her neighbor is so busy
 being Mrs Jones' and bathing her
 baby doll, she may hear us with half an ear, but the chances are that the deeper interest will claim liner again in second. We cannot compete with such things as these.
 To be sure we often talk to chil-
 dren who appear to be doing noth-
 ing at the time, and still they Tor
 get
 Children's minds are seldom idle
 even when their bodies are. Either they are wishing for something, planning to do something or won dering about it. We must be sure that whatever it is, they discard 1t thoroughly when we speak. We must be clear in commands and be certain we have their real attcn- tion. There will be less forgetful- ness.

SUCCESS OF SALADS
 DEFENDS ON DRESSING
BY SISTER MARY
 NEA Service Writer

Much of the success of every salad depends on its dressing. The dressing must not be so highly fla vored that 1t overpowers the flavors of the salad materials. Rather, it should serve to blend contrasting fiavors and add piquancy with it's tartncss. Sometimes extra ingredi- ents are added to the dressing. as in the case of the following horse . radish dressing. This dressing Is particularly good with celery. carrot and apple salad, although any bland vegetable gains interest if served with the dressing.
 Horseradisll Dressing
 One-half cup whipping cream, 1-2 teaspoon salt, l teaspoon pap rika, 9 tablespoons grated horse- teaspoon powdered sugar, Is tea spoon white pepper
 Whip cream until firm. Season with salt, pepper. sugar and pap rika. Add horseradish and vine- gar and serve. If prepared horse- radish is used less vinegar may be needed.
 Potato MayOnnaise
 This is another excellent dress ing to use with non-starchy veg etables. Chinese cabbage and red cabbage are good finely shredded and mixed with the dressing. The recipe follows:
 Two good sized potatoes, 1 tea spoon onion juice, l cup mayon- naise. 9 teaspoon salt, few grains pepper.
 Boil potatoes in their jackets Peel and put through ricer. Sea son with salt and pepper and lei cool. Add slowly to mayonnaise beating constantly to make ii smooth. Beat in onion juice, drop by drop.
 Hard Boiled Egg Dressing
 Ono teaspoon mustard. tea spoon salt. 1-2 teaspoon paprikal 1 egg yolk (raw), hard cooked eggs, { tablespoons salad oil, 1 tablespoons vinegar
 Mix mustard, salt and paprlkn with raw yOlk of egg. Add hard cooked egg yOlks and work with q fork until smooth, Slowly add oil beating constantly. thinning with vinegar aa necessary. Beat vel and add whites of hard cooked eggs which hayo been e0araols chopped, Mix well with lettuce Oi ondive In salad 0ll,

THE Magic Fruit" written by
Arthur j. Herren, jr., brother of
Nancy Herren, whose story we
published the other day:
My uncle, a sailor, brought
home some queer objects he had
bought from an Indian fakir.
Among them were some dried
berries and a shriveIed pear
shaped fruit, which, he assured
us, the fakir had told him
would change a person into a
despised animal.
'HOw silly" 1 thought and
determined / would see for my
self.
Accordingly one day when I
was alone / ate one of the ber-
ries. At once began to
tremble and felt myself grow
ing smaller each second. Soon
the floor was close to my nose
and I ceased to tremble.
CHANGING to look into the
long mirror 1 was horror
stricken to see a mouse staring
back.
Just then Aunt Nancy came
into the room and seeing me
screamed and ran into the hall.
A moment later father rushed
into the room and struck at me
with a poker.
In terror I ran under a big
chair. Just then in stalked our
big tabby cat.
"Sniff, sniff" She leaped to-
ward the chair, upSetting the
table which held the Indian
fruit.
Across the floor and under
the chair rolled the little shriv-
eled pear. Obeying some in.
stinct I nibbIed at it and imme-
diately began to tremble. 1

There are only three Negro mem
bers in the New York Brotherhood
of Painters and Decorators, an in
vestigation by the Workers Coun-
Gil of 2O2 West 136th st. showed.
The Council, in making public It's
findings, demands that the painters
union conduct an organization drive
among Negro painters ito prevent
scabbing during your present strike,
and all future struggles of The
painters"
The information is revealed in a
letter addressed to the District
Council of the Painters Union. The
letter follows:
ITO the District Council of The
Brotherhood of Painters and Deco
ratorS.
Gentlemen:
THE Workers Council of New
York which has organized in Har-
lem for the sole purpose of pro-
tecting the interest of workers,
especially the Negro workers. At
the beginning of your general strike
the Workers Council started an in
vestigation to find out how many
Negro members there are in your
union.
The Council finds that of all the
Negro painters in the City of New
York that your union has only
three Negroes. Our reason for
interceding is to prevent scabbing
during your present general strike,
and all future struggles of the
painters.
I'VE are therefore, requesting
your organization to begin an i'm
mediate drive to organize the Negro
painters into all locals on an equal
basis with the white painters, rs
against any jim-crow practices Of
setting up special Negro locals
which will divide the painters in
stead of uniting them.
We further recommend the
Painters District Council to fight
for the following program:
81 Equal pay for equal work
for Negro painters.
(2) For the right of Negro paint
ers to work In any shop in the
industry.
81 To prevent discrimination

Fur Workers
Clash With
Scab Agents
Militant Furriers Seized
By Cops-A F. of L.
Thugs Let Go

Four militant workers were ar
rested in the local fur market Fri
day on the charge of assault and
held on $500 bail after clash with
agents of the Scabby A. F. of L..
Joint Council.
The furriers, M. Schwartz, Lyman
Chernoff, A. Steinberg and M. Boz
rum, the latter an organizer of the
Fur Workers Industrial Union, we're
alleged to be in the clash with the
agents of the Joint Council, two
gentlemen named Goldberg and
Newman. Being recognized by fur
riers in the market, the Joint Coun-
Gil thugs fled to the Association
building where the fight is said to
have taken place.
Police promptly arrested the four
left wing workers but were very re-
luctant to arrest the A. F. of L..
thugs. The court, however, freed
the letter while setting bail on the
militant furriers.
Furriers Asked To Report at Z A. M.
Furriers are asked to report to the
office of the Fur Workers Indus
trial Union, 131 West 18th Street, at
Z a. m. this morning to help defeat

Warning is hereby issued against
a certain character who is solicit
ing funds in various pats of the
city for the Marine Workers IN
employed Union" of the IWW. The
credentials bear an IWW insignia.
When this character talks to
people he thinks a-e sympathetic to
the revolutionary movement. he
tells them I'VE are sympathetic to
the Bolsheviks." This tactic goes
big with Chinese people, who realize
that the Red Army in China has
been supported by the American
Revolutionary movement.
We don't know whether the funds
this crook solicits go to the WV
or not. But whether they do 81
not, he is still crook. The IWW
is not sympathetic to the Bolsh@
viks, and the Marine Workers Un%
employed Union of the IWW does
not exist as an organization of the
unemployed workers.
For while they put out an oer
casional leaf1et, and carried sign
on the side of their hall "SeameHs
Unemployed Union" but even this
was phoney Their unemployed
union" fought no battles for the un-
employed worker and only tried TO
mislead the seamen by telling them
Don't fight the Charity racketeers,
boycott them
They urged that the seamen bum
money from working seamen, and
bum groceries and meat in the mar
kets, and cook themselves a stew,
instead of fighting for food and
housing at the expense of the state
and the bosses.
