Mir Handel was to pay $37,b0 n week for six months. Then If satisfactory Jano would receive $40 und a $5 raise each six months after that until sho had reached a maximum of $00.
 And by that time," said MT Handel, "you'll probably own this business and I'll be out on tho street panhandllng for cup of coffee, Whom can you start?" Now, if you want me.
 "rhcre's your dcsK, Hunt up q notebook and pencil and we'll get going"
 Jane put her coat and hat on the chair nearest tho desk, opened by instinct the exact drawor whore the notebooks and pencils were concealed, looked at the pencils point and came over to MT Kan ders side. Go ahead," sho said,
 They went ahead. With various Interruptions of telephones and visitors from within and without tho office, they did 30 letters, mostly quite short, a few long and complicated. Jane enjoyed the test, enjoyed the side glNnees from the mon who came In, enjoyed taking up the phono and saying, gently and charmingly, MT Kandel's sec. rctary speaking. Who Ia it, please? |? Just a momont I'll see if Mir Kan del's in." If Handel nodded no, her tone was impersonally regret. ful. I'm sorry, nc Isn't here Just now. May l take q messagc?"

ALCOHOL PROPAGANDA

 The A. NJ. A. now and then offi' clnlly voices what We may fairly consider the consensus of medical opinion In this country upon q medical or health question of I'm. portanee to the public.
 A few years ago the American Medical association officially adopt. cd tho following resolutions:
 Whereas, Wo believe that
 the use of alcohol Ia dotri-
 mental to tho human econ.
 omy; and
 Whereas, It's use in thera-
 peuties as u tonic or stimu-
 lant and for food has no
 scientific value; therefore
 Be 1t resolved. That the
 American Medical association
 is opposed to tho use of aleo-
 hol as Q beverage; and
 Be it further resolved, That
 the use of alcohol as a thcra-
 peutic agent should be -dis-
 eouraged.
 As this has never been reseinded we may fairly take it as tho official view of the majority of reputable physicians.
 But since tho American Medical association so expressed It's atti- tude now Daniel has come to Judgment in tho councils of tho association and now through every available avenue of public intelli. genco Cat least every avenue that pays) the alcoholic propaganda is heartened by tho moral support oi that new Daniel who speaks a' the official representative of the American Medical association.

YOUR CHILDREN

Where is the barefoot boy. He seems to have disappeared alto-
 In the old days feet begans to itch when spring got It's first fever, Two thoughts obtruded between geography books and dreamy young eyes. One was to get or the cameps hair underwear and the other was to feel sQuashy mud be-
 if mattered not whether the boy was of the species known ae ur- chin or scion of weaith--the rrent fraternity of the barefoot drew them closer than Q nickel in n candy store. Democracy got in lts best innings and all were broth CTS.
 Obsolete Custom
 Of course, all the nice" little boys had Q time of 1t. Mostly they had to bootleg their fun. No joke intended. Their mammas would say, Tt isn't gentlemanly to so in your bare feet. Tch, tch! l could mt think of it."
 This propaganda of the namas must have been more potent than we know, for the order of the barefoot lost its charter. As for girls, they simply weren't allowed to expose their metatarsal bones or neither phalanges for an instant. Girls always had 1t hard In the old days. the bare foot ia obsolete. Not only because the youngsters love 1t, but because feet shrouded so much of the time In the darkness need air and sun and exercise.
 Foot muscles strengthen when unhampered. Watch the released foot spread. This Is good. Wide feet are good feet.
 An hour or two a day without shoes will give the exercise needed will save arches, and help tc strengthen weak ankles.
 one of the worst things about se many chiidren's shoes are run over heels. If a child wears down his heel on the side, or outside don't walt until time for the next new pair, but have the cobbler build 1t up with moro leather as soon as possible. When shoes get too short and cannot be replaced I would cut the toe out rather thar have Q child wear them. Little feet grow so fast that what fitt this month may not ft next. Toe less sandals are excellent on this score.
 Feet Need Room
 Buy shoes with plenty of room Thank goodness, manufacturers know these days how to make shoes of proper proportions foi children. The reason the middle. aged of-today and even their some. time juniors are nearly crazy with bunions and fallen arches ia that when they were children 1t wal almost impossible to find a really sane shoe suitable for growing feet,
 But anyway. let's all try to get out feet out of bondage once in a while. l like the new Roman san. dals for grown-ups. l like every. thing that frees the feet. one thing must be remembered, however # Johnny Is to go barefoot.

 "As for instance? 2" asked MT, Handel, still more interested,
 "You want someone who can handle people whom you don't want to see, but also don't want to antagoni2e, You want someone to supplement your memory. to save you time and effort and labor, relieve you of detail. You want you want another pair of hands and another brain that will be, us far as it's humaniy possible, an extension of your own hands and brain," she concluded triumphant- ly, without the least recollection that she had stolen that speech en. tirely from Miss Jardinc.
 Well, by gad!" exclaimed Mir. Handel, You've got the Idea. You're hired"
 "oh no, I'm not" said Jane. 1T don't know yet what the salary is," Thirty dollars to start. More in a year if you make good on that hands and brain stun.
 "No, that's not enough for mo-"
 But you don't know anything about tho real estate business. That woman over at tho school told me so. You've got q lot to learn at my expense"
 Then you'd better make 1t worth my while to learn It."

 Forty dollars to start and q Sl0 raise at the end of year if I'm worth it,"
 Mr. Handel settled himself for the pleasure of q dicker, with the double purpoSc of finding out whether the girl knew how to bar- gain. and or saving himself a third of the salary he had paid hor pred cecssor.

She loves the water, 50 much that shed ra- ther stay in and shiver than come out and warm up on the beach. But Mrs Johnson has o rule that # Claire comes out of the water With blue lips and chattering teeth she has to get dressed right away, and swimming Is over for that day. So Claire is learning wisdom!
 Since the Mirror Lake beach is a public one, and usually pretty crowded, we have to maintain a wideawake lifeguard service. This year I notice that the Beach com mission is using young men who are otherwise unemployed but who qualify as both swimmers and life- savers. talked to one of them on are to have q new rope strung on floats, to mark the four foot level of the water, and that none but good swimmers will be allowed to 20 beyond tho rope This seems to mo an excellent precaution. l no. ticod, too, that Q new sign.board had been put up in q spot where submerged rocks make diving dan gerous. No one with any sense, of course, would dive into water with out first testing the depth, but there will always be a few fool hardy people who must be protect cd against themselves.
 I can see that we are going to have fine times on the beach this summer, and that means the whole Johnson family, from MT Johnson down to Baby John. Last year it was four-ycar. Robert who was learning to swim. but since he now paddles about fearlessly, we shall have to concentrate on our two- yoar-oid. John discovered last year what q grand playground the wa ter was, and shouldn't be q bit surprised if he was actually swim ming by the end of this season.

GLORIFYING

 There's q new school of thought on the subject of hair brushing and since 1t sponsors treatments that are practically no trouble al all and which don't ruin finger waves, it's likely to please the woman who has a limited amount of time to devote to beauty rou- tines
 The treatment requires & hair brush, weighing no, more than a large comb and containing fairly flexible bristles of irregular lengths. Instead of digging stiff bristles into the scalp, one merely touches 1t lightly, bringing up cir culation and removing dead skin and flakes of dandruff. It is, gem orally speaking, method to keep scalp clean and hair shiny in a painless, simple sort of way. If the brush is held correctly and the wrist allowed to vibrate with each stroke, a finger wave is not strengthened out.
 Hold the brush lightly in your hand and, beginning just in back of your left ear, brush the hair upWdFQ ITOLH tltC naPC VI yOuL neck to the crown of your head. Finish in back of the right ear. Then, using quick, upward mo- tions, brush your hair upward from the hairline around your face. This removes powder and other makeup from hair near the forehead and in front of the ears.
 Now, taking one small section of hair, put the edge of the brush against your scalp and, allowing the wrist to vibrate rapidly, turn the brush as you draw 1t outward Hto the ends of the hair. The edge catches all dirt and dust and the rest of the brush is left clean for polishing. Don't use more than one stroke on each section of hair. Wipe the brush after each stroke and continue until every Inch cf scalp has been cleaned, every hait noliahsd.

THE WATER BABIES

Happy dnyS are certainiy here again as far as the Johnson chil- dren are concerned. Thanks to the recent unusually warm weather, outdoor swimming has begun, so last Saturday afternoon the whole bunch of us drove down to Mirror Lake for the first swimming picnic of the season.
 It was like old times to see the raft bobbing about uhdor It's load of happy, dripping youngsters, They're Just like fish in the water, these modern boys and girls. Every movement of their straight young bodies is a Joy to watch. l can never make up my mind which l admire more, Bill Johnson's beau- tifully timed crawl or Mary's div ing.
 I always think that swimming deserves It's reputation as tho most popular of summer sports. It's q fine physical and montal tonic. Ii develops both strength and co.or- dination. And it's very definite safeguard in that 1t may easily be the means of saving life. have litl tle patience with parents who re- fuse to let their children learn to swim, for fear they should be drowned. Teach them to swim carly, say, and give them 2 chance to protect their own and other peoples lives.
 However, indiscriminate bathing and swimming can be dangerous We had an almost fatal accident right here at Mirror Lake last sun' mer, when one of our strongesi swimmers developed cramps when about half mile from shore. The life guard Just managed to get to him in time. Afterwards 1t turned out that he had eaten q hearty lunch only few minutes before going in the water, instead of wait. ing for two hours as he should have done. No wonder he had cramps!

DESERT CITIES

ALGIERS, Algeria, March %. U.P)
Traces of a lost civilization dat
ing back thousands of years to an
era when the vast Sahara desert
was populated were reported today
by French archaeological expedi-
ton.
The expedition, headed by Pro-
fessorS Gauthier and Reygasse,
reached Blida, outside Algiers, after
exploring the heart of the Sahara.
They reported the indications
were that the desert was once pop
ulated by men and animals. Later
it lest its vegetation and was bur
led under the trackless sands.
The scientists reported that in
scriptions and other evidence were
found dating back almost to the
Stone age, and ante-dating the
Egyptians.
One treasure found was a prehis-
torical account of a horse race be-
tween eight chariotS, resembling the
chariots of the Garamantes, lat
er people described by Herodotus as
once having held sway in northern
Africa
The explorers found carved and
painted stones, picturing giraffes,
Cstriches, elephants, rhinoceroses
and soldiers bearing lances.
The report will be sent to the
