Well" declared Mrs. Miller firmly, "Tm not going to have my Mary sit across the aisle from that Green boy. And right on her other side is Dot Brown. You know the Browns. Dots a boy-chaser al- ready, and she wears high heels and uses lipstick and she isn't four teen yet"
 "It's just terrible" sighed Mrs. Jones. "I'm not going to have my Charles march in ranks with Pete Sazillo either. Pete's father Is that tough who gets put into jail every other year for some- thing. They suspect the boy of taking money from the cloakroom last year."
 T think it's awful the way they mix them up in school" worried Mrs. Miller. "Why can't they put the nice children together and let the rest of them be by themselves?
 Just Talk
 The two ladies, of course, did nothing about 1t in spite of their talking. They knew that in pub lie school there can be little pick ing and choosing; that some chill dren lose by bad example and others gain. They knew, too, that all the children could gain something in behavior and char acter by emulating the leaders in their respective rooms rather than being unduly influenced by the bad examples near them. In all democratic institutions (of which school is but one)-in the home, at church, on the street at ball game, at a dance, any place that young people are thrown together in groups there are bound to be undesirable contacts.
 As it happens, such contacts are often beneficial, as they serve as object lessons of behavior to be

Sweet cider on the roadside stands, sure sign that the crisp, clear days of fall are here, may be cherry, pear or peach, as well as apple. Did you know that?
 If you've never used cider in cooking, you have a nice surprise ahead. But of course there's no better way to serve it than as a delicious drink, very cold, with an autumn dinner.
 Cider and doughnuts, or pump kin pie, make a grand dessert af. ter a pot-roast dinner or an old fashioned boiled dinner.
 Our grandmothers were very particular about their boiled cider for mince meat and apple butter, and we would do well to follow their old recipes, even though you buy young cider and they made their own.
 Boil Your Own
 If you want to make your own boiled cider be sure the cider is fresh from the press. A gallon of cider will make one quart of boiled cider, according to my grandmother's receiue, I have her receipe, which I inherited along with her big copper boiler. Fill a preserving kettle with cider. AS the cider boils away, add more and keep replenishing until the whole kettle of cider begins to thicken and becomes syrupy. Continue boiling without adding more cider

RUTH WOODsoN, 10 years old an orphan, leaves Brook lyn by bus for tlie midwest Co look for . job. Unable to nay her fare, she is put on the bus fn the little town Of Worthwhile, just as Q storm Is breaking. Ruth seeks shelter in an old stone house with . blue door and faints from hunger just as
 PENNY, the old hOusekeeper, opens the door.
 Ruth is carried upstairs by the old woman, assisted by JOHN MCNEIL, from next door. The old woman mistakes Ruth for
 ELAINE CHALMERS, whose grandfather built the house. Ruth lets her continue to think this. She is ashamed of her deception and resolves to slip away, but de- cides to stay longer when Penny ! tells her the next day is her 7Sth birthday and pleads with Ruth to make "a long visit"

 When Penny turns over to Ruth . box of lovely clothes, sent by the Chalmers family for Q {. rulmnage sale, the girl resolves to wear them, "lctting charity fal1 where 1t will" She has prom ised John to go for a ride with him that evening.
 CHAPTER XII
 Ruth spent the day entertain. ing Penny. That is to say, sht listened to Penny and she talked to Penny. She was well rewarded There was the knowledge that she had made the lonely. halfblind old woman happy, and there was the useful information she gleaned ir regard to Elaine's family.
 Elaine's father, she learned from Penny's rambling tales, was an ad. mirable young man who was killed in the World War. (Ruth thought "At least Elaine Chalmers and have that in common-our brave whom we can't remem. ber.") Elaine's mother, Miss Gwen" eventually married sec ond time. The man was an old suitor, Higate Deal, of Wall Street fame.
 In speaking of Deal, Penny hint. ed dark things. He's ruinin' your railroad. Now that he's got hold of 1t they don't pay the around here like they used to. hear reports" She stopped, as if afraid she had said too much.

Weighing Card
Is Trick of the
Great TkurSf0u
BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.

AAAo-VA1ho L AAAA
EOR my trick this week. Weighing
Card" I am most gratefully
indebted to Howard Thurston. the
worlds greatest magician"
Effect: A number of cards are laid
on the table One of them is selected
by a member Of the audience. Taking
it in his hands, face up. the performer
tests its weight" The card is then
shuiled among the others. The per-
former then weighs" the cards
one by one. without looking at their
faces When he comes to the chosen
card, he Immediately discovers it by
its weight"
Explanation: Needless to say. the
weight" of the card has nothing to
do with the trick The weighing"
is merely an excuse to perform this
mystery and to draw attention from
the true secret.
Use about Is cards. AS you pretend
to weigh the chosen cards. press the
tips of your forefingers against the
diagonally opposite corners. Thus
your fingernails make tiny dents in
the corners of the card After the
cards have been shuff1ed. and you pick
them up one at time to weigh them
again. your fingers will instantly
detect the tiny lump on the back of
the chosen card. The lump on the
back is formed from the dent in the
front. Thus you can Immediately
recognize the chosen card the second
time you weigh it.

per week for this dubious privilege.
Many have no water in the house, and
the toilet facilities are of the most
insanitary type.
Few of the houses have either gas
or electricity. Kerosene lamps are
used for illumination. In such places,
in the shadow of the Nations Capitol,
hundreds of families on relief live and
move and have their being.
Some day there may no longer be
such sore spots. In this connection
it has been said: History shows that
great economic and social forces flow
like tide over communities, only one
half conscious of that which is befall-
ing them. Wise statesmen foresee
what time is thus bringing and try to
shape institutions and mold mems
thoughts and purposes in accordance
with the change that is silently COM
ing on
THERE is a division of self-help
operating with great success un-
der the P. A. D. and F. E. r. A.
Among the many constructive agencies
of the vast network of relief. this self
help group deserves more than passing
recognition in the functioning OF the
gigantic system. 1t is a self-help
cooperative. Labor is traded back
and forth on the you build me a
chicken coop and Ill repair your car"
principle.
There are 16 groups of this sort all
over the city. The members are all
on relief or unemployed. They are
rapidly learning to better their condi-
tions through group effort.
Raw materials, like cotton for
dresses. come from the surplus COM
mcdities warehouse. The Army turns
over its discarded hats. uniforms. tape,
overalls. caps. anything possible to be
salvaged. No Army man could recog-
nize his equipment in its present form.
I saw shirts and trousers for men

out Of soldiers short jackets. and
such jaunty caps out of officers
hats I wanted to salute Rugs are
woven out of Army tape. and mosquito
netting emerged as curtains bound in

This adventure in self-help cooper
alton is not entirely new. The idea
behind it is having a new lease on
life all over the country due to the
depression.

place, very we'll managed. 1t is situ-

big warehouse.
The Federal Surplus Relief Corp.
buys up the surplus stocks Of cotton
mills and food products. The barrels
OF turnips were purchased in the
country, where people on relief gath
cred them; surplus crop otherwise
left to rot! These stocks are allo-
Gated to various cities according to
the case loads in each city. Cotton
goods appear in bales. Prunes came
in bulk and are packed in bags by
relief workers in the warehouse. Each
bag contains a recipe for cooking.
The dried skim milk is new wrinkle.
1t has been found to serve, mixed with
water. as substitute in bread and
cake making.

house. Each person bears his or
her precious authorized surplus COM
modify slip. Each waits eagerly for
the filling of the sacks, boxes, papers
and other receptacles. The plan, start
ing Monday. is to deliver the goods
to homes. as the postage to the hun
dreds o. families offsets carriage
charges. I was impressed with the
figures submitted on overhead charges
throughout the organization. No
business of that magnitude tries to
handle its affairs on such low per-
centage of cost.
Upstairs is the clothing supply
shelf upon shelf of bright dresses,
socks, shirts, trousers, comforters,
blankets. towels, layettes for the new
born. All these items are made in
the IA various sewing rooms by relief
workers. Old clothes, overcoats and
warm garments of all sorts are cleaned,
renovated and given to needy cases.
No discussion of relief in Wash

brief history of Miss Alice Hill and
her accomplishments. She is director
of the public assistance division Of

A woman of fine appearance is Miss

do they require much water? The
one have is young. right off the
nest, and hasn't learned to pick up
food yet, so I put the food in its
mouth and give it water with med
icine dropper."
Wild screech owls eat a variety OF
food, but their chief delight is insects
GrasShoppers ought to make a fine
diet for this one He'll probably eat
worms, too, and crawfish and mice.
Henrietta's screech owl should make
a fine pet. Certainly there can't be
many members of this gang who have
an owl for a pet! I haven't heard Of
any others SO far.
Nor. so far as I can discover. do
people know if screech owl actually
drinks water, or If it gets enough
moisture from the food it devours.
Henrietta has wonderful chance here
to discover some new facts about owls.
She should make sure that he gets
enough to eat. With most Of us there
Is forgetfulness of the fact that a
growing bird requires enormous guam
