Looks like clue to a gold hoarder 1! John Suchy of Hartford has just found $2.50 gold piece in turkeys gizzard. Perhaps some turkey raiser decided that it would be best to hide the gold piece in the birds crop than to let Uncle Sam have it back. Now that John Suchy has it, whatll he do if he's charged with being gold hoarder?

Are Still Protected.

and amusement, and man who
treated one evenly halfway decently
was considered so remarkable that
minstrels went around the country
singing his praises. Even in our
grandmother's time men displayed
their gallantry by supporting a lady
on their arms when she took walk
abroad; they picked up her tatting
when she dropped 1t. and doubtless
would have given her their seats in
the subway if there had been any
subways, but they didn't give her any
rights. If she was an heiress when
she married, her property was all
turned over to her husband, to spend
on other women II he chose. If she
had fine mind and desired an educa-
tion, every college door was barred to
her. II she was poor, she had to eat
the bitter bread of dependence because
men we're monopolizing all of the
gainful occupations.
She got barrels Of fiowery speeches
and compliments and silly, empty little
observances, but that was all she did
get The gallantry of the past was
an omelette soufie, a mouthful of
sweet nothings; but the gallantry of
today is the bread of life, strong and
nourishing, in which the modern
woman sets her teeth.
THE men of today may let woman
stand in a street car, but they give
her a chance to make an honest living.
They may not lift their hats to her
in an elevator, but they pass laws
that protect her in her right to her
own property. The knight of today
does not dress in rafting armor and
60 on fool quests to rescue distressed
damsel, but he opens his store and
office doors to hundreds of poor young
womensand saves them from the poor
house and the street.
In the days Of chivalry no woman
dared put her nose outside of her own
door without husky guard to take
care of her. Today a woman alone
can travel from one end Of the world
to the other and every man she meets
becomes her protector. And that is q
piece of chivalry SO great and beauti-
full that it was beyond the dreams Of
King Arthur and his Round Table.
So in view of these facts 1t is idiotic
to speak Of the decay of mems gall
lantry. 1t has simply changed to meet
new demand. Men are no longer
carpet knights. They are big brothers.
And women are perfectly willing to
pick up their own handkerchiefs with
one hand as long As they can pick up
Q pay envelope with the other.

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Thoughts.

NO ONE knows what thought is.
Few take the trouble to figure
out how thoughts work. Your thoughts
each thought helping to keep the
mental machinery going.
While thoughts come and 60, they
do not really pass away. Each seems
to have something to do with the next
one. Each thought seems to be the
cause OF the next one. Thus you
have what amounts to a stream of
thoughts, obeying the universal Law
Of cause and effect.
The worlds great thinkers of all
times have tried to describe this
process. Buddha set it down this
way: What you think, you are. What
you shall think, you shall be-" Five
hundred years later the Nazarene de-
clared LAS man thinketh in his
heart. so is he."
This merely means that your
thoughts represent an organization,
little by little creating that unity
which is variously referred to as mind
character, personality, temperament,
soul.
If you could acquire the habit of
controlling your thoughts, it seems
altogether probable that you might in
the course of time revamp your en-
tire self. Wise men have always sus-
pected this. but none has really
told us how to go about it. A COM
plete education is one that trains you
to do this making and remaking of
your mind.

whats the matter with that
child, anyway? The idea of his going
off into a tantrum like that, kicking
and yelling. He needs good spanking
to bring him out of it. He had q fit
like this about 10 days ago"
That's right, he did. The time he
had eaten pancakes, remember? And
he was sick during the night. I sup
pose his bad temper gave him indi-
gestion.'
he says We've got to do something
with him If there's nothing the mat
ter with him we'll get after him and
settle him. You'd better go up, Mary,
and make him stop"
Danny lay on the floor of his bed
room, kicking and yelling. Nanny was
trying to get him up to undress him.
AS soon as he heard his mothers step
he turned over and sat up, still howl
ing. Il don't wanna bath. I don't
wanna bath" He wasn't going 10
get a bath. But he hated bathing
and that was as good reason as any
for bowling and kicking.
Mother managed to quiet him and
the next day took him to the doctor
His stomach is distressing him, said
the doctor. What did he eat yes
terday?"
Mother recited the diet list. 1t
sounded all right, about what the
we'll reared child should have. When
she finished Danny added: And
beans, mother"
Beans? No, you did not have
beans yesterday, Danny
Yes I did, mother. Nanny was
having some for her lunch and I
asked her for some and she gave me
some and I ate them. They were
good and I put catsup on them, too.
1t tasted good. But Nanny didn't
know did that"
Didn't know you did what. Danny.
Took more beans and more catsup.
When she went downstairs I took
some out of the dish and ate them
quick before she came back I fooled
her" He chuckled gleefully.
And gave yourself collie" said the
doctor. You're not so smart, Danny"
"Oh, Danny, how could you do such
a thing? 1t might have made you
very sick indeed and then Dr.. Swim
ton would have had to come and give
you medicine. Oh, dear, why did you
do such thing?"
Then DR.. Swinton explained that
some children cannot eat beans: some
cannot eat catsup without having
trouble. Sometimes it is a certain
kind of meat, again a fruit or vege-
table that affects the childs digestion.
Sometimes it is caused by overeating
foods that are not harmful when
eaten in moderation.
When a child has temper tantrums
search his diet for the cause. Search
his daily program for cause of fatigue.

preventives Well-nourished, we'll

YoungChild
Must Have
Easy Shoes
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDhED.
EVELYN, % months of age, suddenly
- developed the habit of fretting
and whining. She chose to sit on
the floor, and she made herself like
lead rather than be forced to stand.
When deep purplish patches and red
creases on Evelyn's poor, crushed feet
were pointed out to her, the surprised
mother said: why her shoes are
practically new. I had no idea they
were too small"
Jimmy, aged 13 months, had been
walking about clinging to the rail
of his play pen for better than three
months. No one could understand
why he failed to walk alone. But
when Jimmy's mother bought him
another pair of shoes at another store.
she found that the first pair had
been fitted several sizes too small.
Jimmy slipped of his mothers lap,
shod in brand-new, large-sized shoes,
and walked proudly across the floor
alone
The proper fit of small child's
shoes is a far more vital matter than
some mothers imagine. In some stores
they consider it sufficient to lift a
baby up onto the counter, stuff his
unresisting, limp feet into small, soft
shoes and decide that they fit.
Shoes must be fitted on a standing
foot. When the full weight of the
child is on his feet, they should be
pressed down on a scale and the
length noted. Then the shoes should
be q least / inch longer than this
standing length. The shoes should
be square toed, and with straight
inner line.
The sole should be both thick and
soft-soft enough to be easily bend
able in the hand and thick enough
to preserve the shape of the shoe
and to protect the tender sole.
The material of a shoe may be any
washable leather or fabric. BY choos-
ing leather which can be washed
or cleaned easily, the baby can man
age with only one pair Of shoes at
time, pair which is large enough
to begin with and which can be dis
carded when the baby's rapid growth
Of foot indicates that the shoe Is
definitely too small. Not only is the
baby's healthy foot dependent upon
the comfort Of his small shoe, but
his good temper. and his normal de-
velopment as well.
