boxes for houses and barns. bits of
colored paper on toothpicks for
flowers and shrubbery, pebbles for
stone walls and toy automobiles and
wagons for farm machinery will ap-
peal to boys and girls alike. POta-
toes with toothpicks for legs will

game is progressive and takes days
to finish. A few empty pasteboard or
tin boxes will keep the various ar
ticles together waiting for a rainy
season, when a few squares of
green paper spread upon the floor
will make a good beginning for the
farm. And many other fascinating
occupations that do not require good
weather, open spaces, or athletic
equipment can be found that will
interest both girls and boys.
1t is unfortunate that small boys
are often teased by their older ac-
quaintances for playing girls
games" Tact on the part of the
parent will do much to counteract
this influence and to develop enjoy
able cooperation between brothers
and sisters. An aside to the boys
with regard to playing fair" and
a suggestion to the girls that there
are ways of making the boys like to
play with them will accomplish
more towards establishing harmony
than insistence on some particular
course of action. The girls can be
shown very easily that though the
boys don't like to play dolls" they
are delighted to play farm" and
have dolls for the farmer. his men
and his family! And surely adapta-
bility and diplomacy are well worth

HELPING TO SOLVE AN AGE
LONG PROBLEM
Hilda Richmond

Mother! Mother! We play boys
games with John and Ted. and then
they won't play girls games with
us!"
Two warm, painting, indignant lit
tie girls who had faithfully played
the game" with their brothers when
ball was proposed voiced their Ia
nent that the boys utterly refused
to play with them when a tea party
with the dolls for guests, was ar
ranged. II is a problem that little
girls often meet. The little boys
want them for their games when
they have not enough boys for the
team" or the "plan," but when 1t
comes to returning the compliment,
there is trouble.
The mother, in this particular
case, advised the little girls to leave
the dolls out of the picture and to
call the proposed party a picnic. AT
once the boys were willing to set up
the rough board table under the ap-
pie tree, carry the chairs from the
porch for the seats, since the table
top when placed on orange crates
was too high for sitting on the
grass, get the water and do the var
ious "man-sized" duties connected
with the eating problem. They had
seen their fathers and big brothers
do such tasks at open-air gather
ings, and they were not ashamed at
all to take part in a picnic.
There are many games that need
not be called games for girls" but
can be chosen by the little girls
when it comes their turn to select.
Making small articles out of paste
board boxes will appeal to both sex
es and is a good occupation for
rainy day. If furniture for the doll

Apple Markets Weak
Trend of the apple market has
been downward since the opening OF
the new season. owing to increase
in supplies and much small, poor
fruit arriving. partly by motor truck.
Eastern carlot shipments have been

earlier and more abundant in the
market this year, especially Califor-
mia Gravensteins. Delaware, Mary
land, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
are each shipping a few carloads

few nearby apples on sale. Trade

fruit range mostly from 81 to $3.50

YOU LOOK BETTER WHEN YOU
SMILE

When you're feeling mighty blue,
AS misfortune comes to you,
And i'll luck seems shaped about you
in a pile;
You will stand a greater show
If you don't let others know,
And besides you look much better
when you smile.
When your business all goes wrong,
Just keep plodding right along,
Better times are surely coming after
while;
Sun is sure to shine again,
Cheerfulness is not in vain.
And you look a great deal better
when you smile.
When your health seems broken
down.
Don't sit by to scowl and frOwn.
Pessimism long ago dropped out of
style;
Let your heart give forth good cheer,
Scatter sunshine far and near.
For you look a whole lot better when
you smile.

A LITTLE CORNER OF HEAVEN
BY Kenneth Groesbeck

There's a little corner of heaven.
Where the human beings go.
The people who fell. but who fought
too well
To end in the down below
The common or garden run Of souls,
Who slipped. most every day
With many slam and many damn,
I'll be there il / have my way.
That little corner of Heaven,
Is full of the might have beens;"
They tried for right but they lost the
fight.
And were sorry for their sins;
But not a one in the corner
Who Knocked at anOther's fall,
Who laughed at tears or who closed
his ears
To fellow creatures call.
That little corner of Heaven
Is barred to the true elect;
There's too much earth and there's
too much mirth
To be actually correct;
The harps are played by machinery
And the crowns are loose above
Lord grant my prayer and send me
there
With the rascal souls l love!"
Every duty well done makes the next
duty easier to do.
Honesty is the first chapter of the
Book of Wisdom.
He has achieved success who has
lived we'll, laughed often and

THE KENTUCKY DERBY,

Evervone with 2 knowledge of the sport of kings knows that the Kentucky Derby is the fore most horse race annually in the Western Hemisphere But to explain all of the elements that go into making it so is not easy. Other races may command richer purses but none have so much renown to award to the winner as the classic of Churchill Downs at Lexington Thus the cup for the owner garland for the horse and the untitled space for the winner this year at the entrance of the Downs not the purse, attracts international attention
 There is something more than the siXtleth oi a sequence of annual contests behind this. For venerable as the Derby is it is young in comparison to the "other" Derby at Epson Downs. So important is the Derby mile and a quarter that no American three-year- -od can claim the supremacy if he has not added this utmost victory of speed and endur- ance to his record The Kentucky Derby ranks only with it's English counterpart.
 That this has been true since the earliest of these contests is but another way of saying that the Derby is the elimination of all the history of the thoroughbred in Kentucky. It is not 1ully appreciated by the outside world that the pre- eminence of the horse in Kentucky-and of this the Kentucky Derby is the real reflection-derves directly from the first Derby at Epson.
 The winner, Diomed, imported into America. His offspring became the dominant strain in our thoroughbreds, and by the middle of the last century. when the great horse Lexington appeared that blood line gave to Kentucky it's present un- challenged position in the breeding and racing Of running horses. Over thirty of the winners whose names blazoned at Churchill Downs are in the direct line from Lexington Thus the victory IS inseparabe from all that has gone before in the history of American thoroughbred breeding and racing. It. for that matter, is part of the annals of the turf abroad.
 This explains in part the pride felt by the Kentuckian when horse reared within the Com monwealth by a Kentucky captures the laurels and it explains the avid enthusiasm by all owners to gain the proud distinction for their silks regardless of the purse For it is the utmost that Kentucky offers Kentucky which has been racing since Mad Anthony Wayne still busy with the Indians century and half ago.

entomologists of the United States Department of
 Agriculture and devote it entirely to the storage of winter garments and furnishings? Many modern houses are built with special cedar lined storage closets unless such closets kept sealed while in use and sometimes then, they scarcely better than any other closets that be kept tightly closed
 If everything can be put away at once the task is simpfied. Clean, brush thoroughly, and sun each article to make there hidden moth eggs in it. place the garments on hangers, and sprinkle 3 pounds of naphthalene flakes or paradichlorobenzene crystals the floor. Then
 lock the door and seal the cracks with tape. If the garments must be put away at a time, it is better to wrap each article in strong unbroken wrapping paper (after cleaning and sunning) with the ends turned under. As added safeguard, sprinkle of the flakes crystals in each fication, and store the packages in the special closet.
 If you do not have such a closet to spare you can probably make a tight cupboard storage chest of boards wall-board that will answer the purpose. Line it with strong unbroken wrapping paper and when you put away your winter things put in plenty of the flakes crystals referred to above. Your best rugs deserve similar atten- tion They could be stored in a special box long enough to take them when rolled poles to prevent wrinkles. The rugs should be vacuum cleaned on both sides before going into the storage box.
