Simple Things
BY DAISY MOORE BYNUN

How I love the simple thingsl
Deep Joy I feel when Bluebird
sings!
And gay bright Larkspur, looking up.
Fills to the brim my happy cup.
love a walk beneath green trees
The morning song sung by the
breeze.
love TO sit among sweet flowers
And breathe their fragrance by
the hours.
love TO watch gray clouds that hold
A bit of sunshine in their fold.
I love TO hear the rains fresh gingla
Love TO feel my blood a-tlngle
With life anew and love that lends
New beauty to each flower that
bends.

REACH THE GOAL

ONE of the oldest things about our recovery
~ program is that there should be such
unanimous agreement on the goal to be
reached and such widespread difference OF
opinion about the proper way to get there.
Agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace
summed up the essentials of the New Deal in
his recent book. New Frontiers" AS an ex-
position of the aims of the administration,
his summing up is worth looking at.
According to Mr.. Wallace, these aims are
as follows:
A job for every one who wants one.
Wages SO high that no one will be in seri-
Gus want.
Working hours SO short that every one will
have enough leisure to enjoy life.
Insurance against unemployment and old
age-and. possibly against injury and illness
also
Decent housing for ALL at moderate cost
Planned use of the land and other natural
resources SO that they will not be wasted
Continuance of such essentials of liberty
as free speech, freedom Of the press, and free
conscience.
Now here surely. is a program on which
all hands can unite. These aims commend
themselves. automatically, to every one-ex-
cept, perhaps, to the Communist, to whom all
change is worthless that does not advance the
Marxist state
Those of US who hope to see improvement
made within the capitalist framework can
find little to quarrel within this agenda.
But when We pass from contemplation OF
the goal to consideration of the way it is to
be reached. We Immediately get into all kinds
of arguments.
Are We to get these things by giving indus
try its head or by directing it from Washing
ton? BY tariff reduction or by an increased
nationaliSm? BY dollar devaluation, imitation
or a vigorously sound" monetary policy? BY
production control wage dedation, or tax
reduction?
The number of possibilities is almost end
less. and the argument over them IS begin
ming to develop an uncommon amount Of heat
And the man IN the street. confused by this
multiplicity Of policies, can only do his best
to think things through-and reflect that this
tabulation of the ends to be attained is, at
least that much clear gain.
For If We are in substantial agreement on
our goal We shall get there some day-no
matter how hard the choice of a path.

PARIS ENVIES AMERICAN FILM STYLES

THIS GIRL BECAME BERIBERI THIN

AS long as fashion decrees the sylphlike figure, wrote Drs. David Riesman and Harold Davidson in a paper read before the College of Physicians and published in the Journal of the American Medical
 Association, sporadic cases of beri- beri are likely to occur. They may show an incomplete picture of the disease but if the true cause of the symptoms is not recognized, the trouble may be ascribed to primary myocardial disease with inevitable failure of treatment.
 Now, foolish ones, listen and we'll translate the mediacalese into English. Sporadic means scat tered, single, separate instances as contrasted with epidemic or every day occurrence. Myocardial disease
 means heart myscle disease. Thank you for hesitating a moment. You
 may now go on with your nitwit reduction.
 For the benefit of young women
 who slavishly follow what they beleive to be the decrees of fash ion I beg to interpolate good health suggestion. In the majority of borderline cases of corpulence. the uncouthness, whether real or imaginary, which worries the indi- vidual, is not so much excess of weight nor even oversize as it IS slouchiness, sloppiness, laziness and consequent fiabbiness. Exer- else is the corrective needed ,ac- tive participation in sports, hiking, swimming, dancing. or regular gymnasium work, or setting-up ex- ercise, or housework. In most such cases it is rather helpful to ad- just the diet or to balance it, but it is distinctly harmful and makes matters worse to restrict the diet in the popular nitwit manner.
 Beriberi is a nutritional disease seen commonly in tropical coun- tries. It is a polyneuritis, multi pie neuritis, bearing a certain re- semblance, in some eases to null tiple alcoholic neuritis. Besides weakness or partial paralysis from the neuritis, there is painful ede- ma or swelling of the legs.

h. s'. who has failed to grasp certain requires, much repetition to grasp an idea. This also includes the child who missed time in school.
 I believe all teachers would be happy if 1t were possible, to get away from home work. Happy is the teacher who does not have a ''key'' grade to teach and who therefore can go more lightly on the extra problems or map draw ing.
 When we hear child say, Miss Smith is nice. She never gives any night work" it very often hap pens that Miss Smith herself is for tunate in having conditions in her room and the grade arrangement favorable to more home freedom. But what pleases one parent may incense another. It would be impossible to suit everybody. Ger tainly if child is to be kept off the street 1t is not the teachers responsibility but the parents.
 8-Hour Day for Students
 It appears to me that eight lTours a day (counting going and com ing) Is enough study for a child until he, gets into higher grades or high school. Children cannot clamp attention on or interest in books too long. Besides, they need air and exercise. But probably bit of time in the early morning or right after dinner wont's hurt them much. It's always been done. But then so have a lot of things that, are being changed in the new light of things. s.
 When boy or girl is never at home 1t seems likely that heavier lessons would only add to the dis taste of staying in. Home life. if made normal and happy, would be greater drawing power than more night work.

 Not all these communications are protests. Many beg the teach CT to give Jack more lessons to do at home .'to keep him of. the streets" s
 The teacher usually takes the view that it is out of her province to keep somebody's boy or girl off the streets. And she is right. Her authority ends in the school room.
 True, she can hold child re- sponsible for study to be done out of school hours, but if this were to reach the point of real show down, it might be a matter for those. higher up to decide-a mat ter involving school boards and courts and all manner of things.
 Teachers Authority Limited
 So far it has been accepted as a matter of course, courses being arranged usually in such a man ner that they could not possibly be covered in the term without study out of school. The teacher is merely an instrument in cover ing the ground assigned to her. It is her duty to see that the com plete course in the grade book is gone over in given time by all her pupils, and understood. If the work is too lengthy or too hard to be assimilateds in six school hours, she has no recourse but to assign certain studies for home.
 This is governed. too, by the number of pupils in a class and the number of grades in a/room. Sometimes it happens that there is plenty of time for study and writ. ten recitations. but no time for preparation in the class room. Teachers Do Not Like Home Work

1. Their natural differences can be explained in no other. way. The hereditary qualities which parents give their, children are all carried in some little articles called chroy mosomes in the germ -cell or. egg sex-cell from which the children are born; and these chromosomes mix up in all sorts of ways SO that one child may receive a set of qualities from the ancestorses quite different from the set received by it's brothers and sisters.

The secret of perfection in sal- ads lies in the choice of fruits to be combined One bland fruit one mild in favor and acid should be included to serve as a balance for the tart, full favored fruits.
 You wouldn't, for instance, com bine pears, apples and bananas in single dish under ordinary cir cumstances. Together with grapes, they are the most available of the bland fruits and need the pre- sence of more zesty flavors to create a thoroughly appetizing combination.
 Because fresh pears will be avail able until after the holidays and are so handy in cans at all times, the following recipes will enable you to add variety and col- orfulness to your salad courses. You will find that special attention is given to garnishes, with a view to making salads adaptable to serving at the most festive occas- ions.
 Hiawatha Salad.
 Three quarters of stewed pear, segments of orange, 3 segments of grapefruit, 3 threads green pep per. 3 threads pimento, 3 marbles cream cheese, lettuce, French dressing.
 Arrange the fSuit so alternating slices radiate from the center of the salad plate which has been prepared with crisp lettuce leaves. On each quarter of pear place, a thread of green pepper and on each segment of grapefruit a thread of pimento.

 There can be no hard and fast rules for acquiring charm. Each must learn for herself. So don't just try to copy the mannerisms of a person whom you consider charming. limitations never are satisfac ctory.
 However, if you study her per- sonality, you'll undoubtedly dis cover the two character traits all charming people have in com mon. They are kindliness and sincere interest in the other fel- low. Those qualities you must cultivate if you, too, wish to have something infinitely more valuable than mere physical beauty.
 Try never to be too absorbed in yourself and your own ideas to take time out to hear what the other fellow has to say. At first you may not be at all interested in. his point of view, but if you really force yourself to listen quietly and pleasantly the chanes are ten to one you'll really be in- terested long before he has fin- ished speaking. Put yourself in his place for few moments and you're likely to view him in a more kindly fashion. Do the same each time you talk to any person. Pretty soon you1l find that you no longer judge others harshly. When you've stopped that bad habit. you're we'll on the road to real charm.

pear salad that is sometimes called porcupine salad? It's very nice and you might like to serve it for luncheon some day. Fresh or stewed pears can be used, and unless the pears are quite mellow it's a good idea to stew them. Use two halves for each portion. Make small balls of cream cheese com bined with finely chopped pre- served ginger. Put ball of cheese in the cavity of the pear and fit the halves together. Stick shredded almonds into the pear and serve on bed of lettuce with mayonnaise mixed with whipped cream. The almonds should be blanched. shredded and toasted.
 Mint and Pear Salad.
 Another delicious and eye-satis- flying salad is made by stewing pears in a thin syrup favored with mint. When the fruit is almost tender add a few drops of green vegetable coloring to coloi the pears of delicate green. Serve on bed of lettuce with a piping of cream cheese mixed with the syr- up from preserved cherries or red raspberries around the base of the pear and a maraschino cherry topping the pear at the stem end.
