Merry Time at Popcorn Ball
Entertainment That Can Be Made Thoroughly Enjoy
able at Trihing Financial Cost and Little
Labor in Its Preparation. -

In these days, when financial prob
lens are so generally harassing,
there is tendency to curtail in en-
. tertaining. While this seems a nat
ural result, ii is. nevertheless, to be
Y deplored. 1t is when spirits are low
that the heartening of congenial COM
partnership is most needed. These
social events that do not drain, or
even strain, the purse. are actual In
yestments In good health for host
and hostess as well as guests. 1t has
been demonstrated that good cheer
promotes well-being, and when a per-
! son is well he or she can best COM
4 pete with problems. So let US not
cut down too decidedly on the pleas
ant means of promoting health and
success.
In order to do this with no reac-
ton in the thought of too much
money spent which would come on
the persons entertaining If it was
done too lavishly. let me suggest
new party. the Popcorn Ball. which
can be given at trifiing cost.
The word ball suggests evening
dress, or at least dainty frocks.
These add glamor to an occasion,
yet no one need get anything new.
Before the event, the hostess pops
corn, dips some kernels in vegetable
dyes of different colors, wires a few
kernels with one color. edging them
with green, and makes two nosegays
of similar colors, and as many nose
gays as there are guests. These she
arranges in two little baskets. From
these she presents boquets to the
men and the women. Matching
boquets secures partners for the first
dance. The music can be on the
radio, victrola, or by different per-
sons whom the hostess asks before
hand to play for one dance. The cost
of musicians should be eliminated.
The hostess supplies needles and
strong thread, and great bowls of
popcorn, which can be ready or be
popped as part of the entertainment
The players gather around the tables
having these bowls on them. and at
the sound of a signal they start
stringing popcorn chains. AT another
signal, each player passes his or her
chain to the person next on the right.
who proceeds to string on this chain.
When the final signal is sounded,
the man and woman whose chains
measure most nearly the same length

BRONZE AGE NOT
ALTOGETHER ONE
OF SAVAGERY

Musical instruments, dating from
the Bronze age, found in Swedish soil,
show that the rules of harmony and
the different keys of music were
known TO the Swedes of $500 B. C.
This is the statement of Doctor Nih-
len, a Stockholm archeologist, as re-
ported in an interesting article pub
lished in a Swedish newspaper. In
certain localities those beautifully
curved bronze horns are found lying
together and when examined show
that two horns always are mutually
harmonized in c. d. f, or G, and
that these were shaped in different
curves, so that the two horns blown
by players standing beside each 9TH
err together formed rough circle.
The Psychologists assume that the
horns were used for religious rites
as well as during battles. The horn
blowers are often pictured in the
numerous Bronze age rock carvings
in Sweden, where prehistoric artists
tried to illustrate social and religious
life in roughly incised human figures.
Doctor Nihlen even assumes that
many of the melodious Swedish folk
songs may trace their origin back to
the Bronze age, and adds that the
Vikings of later times were known
to sing duets.
The horns are ingeniously joined
together by means of a quite modern
looking device. so that one part of
the horn was put on another and
fastened by bolt on the lower part
that was thrust through a hole on
the upper one. These horns, Joined
together in three different sections.
like the safety pins found amongst
the Bronze age remains, give evil
dence of the inventive genius of the
Bronze age people in Sweden.
Among other prehistoric instru-
ments found in the Swedish soil are
bronze drums of excellent sound
quality and an amber bridge used on
a Viking time instrument with four
or six strings, most probably the
kind of small harp that was so pop
ular during the migratory period of
the Teuton tribes.-Montreal Herald.

ter of his environment.
Doing for children what they can.
and for their own good should do for
themselves, progresses from the phys
zeal things that are done for them in
babyhood and childhood to far more
important matters later on. 1t is in
thinking for children, making for
them decisions that they should
learn to make for themselves, that
the greater danger lies. AS the
child who has the little phys
zeal chores done for him by
mother or nurse win be helpless if
suddenly faced with the necessity of
doing them for himself, so the youth
who has had his problems solved and
decisions made for him will be help
less when he finds himself out in the
world with others who have had a
more fortunate preparation for life.

Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and in some cases even
affect the liver and kidneys.
A doctor will tell you that the
unwise choice of laxatives is COM
mon cause of chronic constipation.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to the use Of laxatives
in liquid form.
A properly prepared liquid laxa-
tive brings a perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to take "a double dose" a day
or two later.
In buying any laxative, always
read the label. Not the claims, but
the contents. If it contains one
doubtful drug, don't take it.
