Look, Mom." whimpered Fred die, holding up the broken shoe lace. "I'm late for school now. I guess I just can't go." m- 54
 Mother put the baby off her lap and tied the string at once.
 "It looks awful" said Freddie.
 "Nonesense. Stop looking at 1t and hustle. Your breakfasts
 But still the boy fused. His egg was too hard, too much milk on his oatmeal.
 "W.ll you never get goingi" scolded his mother. You can find more things to fool over than any, one ever saw. Here's your cap. Now acoot."
 Outside he met Art. and Art yelled. Come on, I'll race you to the corner"
 Freddie started of, but his sock slid down. He laid his books on a step and fixed 1t. T can't run" he called. My stocking won't stay up."
 Good night" exclaimed Art. Letting litle thing like that stop you. I bet If you were going to see a parade or someth'n', you wouldn't even bother about an old sock. But say, we got to run if we don't want to be late" Saved From Tardiness They got to school and Miss Wise fairly pulled them inside the door. "Hury, boys. Tn your seats before the gong rings" she admonished.
 In tn ecloak room Freddie dis covered that somebody had his particular hook. re would not use another. Out he camN cap in hand, and complained of the fact. Miss Wise grabbed him, al- most threw him into his seat to avoid tardy mark as the rules directed, and just then the gong | rang. She smiled, but shook her head. She knew this fussy little boy would always have to be saved from circumstances unless someone taught him that little things are not important In an | emergency.
 She took his cap and put 1t on the window sill in the cloakroom.
 The session was interrupted over and over by Freddie's hand in the air. He couldn't write his spelling words because "Molly's hair touched his desk" He said his chalk-mark (star) beside his name on the honor roll for arith- metic, was getting too dull to see. In the midst of marking papers Miss Wise had to hunt up her red cvrayon and brighten the insignia on the board. Otherwise she knew 1t would bother him so much he couldn't study his geography.
 think I'll talk to his mother, she decided. Here is a smart boy who is getting so set in a habit that he will lose all ability to concentrate. He'll always be miss- ing the big things of life bother ing with the pin bricks. Easily licked.
 Next day Freddie's mother said, to town to buy your new coat to- morrow This was 6 blow be- cause 1t meant lunch with daddy, and a movie. "Why?" he asked, crestfallen.
 ooh, my dress needs fixing and it looks like rain and there's a letter I must write and Sisters cutting tooth"
 Those aren't god reasons" said Freddie. You're just let ting little things stop you"
 Which was the answer she wanted. And then she explained that she was doing exactly the same things he did every day. That successful people did not let small matters interfere when they had something big to do; that if he could learn to be less fidgety she would undertake the city trip. So we leave this boy, wondering

 1Gasquerades and fall parties give everyone . chance to put on the new stage and screen cosme- ties. now sold in small containers especially for use at home. This Is a season when it's smart to fix your face to harmonize with whats ever kind of costume you. happen to be wearing.
 If yours is a Chinese getup, the right eyebrow pencil can make your eyes slant upward. Colonial clothes have an air of authenticity if q regular, straight stage malkes up is carefully applied. Here are the directions: M
 First of all, cleanse your skin with cream. Then, holding the stick of foundation lightly in your hand, make tiny dots from base line. Pat--do not rub-these dots until all of your skin is smoothly and evenly coated with the grease paint.
 If you have puffs under Your eyes, conceal them with a layer of lighter foundation. Incidentally, double chin becomes less con- spicious (only under amber lights or on the stage, of course) if the lower edge of 1t is touched with the lighter grease paint.
 Now you should use cream rouge. Put 1t on checks accord- ing to the shape of your face and, particularly if your eyes look tired, on lids, too.
 If you don't rouge your eye- lids, remember that this Is your chance to use eyeshadow gener- ously. Blend 1t smoothly and evenly, however, leaving no harsh edges When you have finished, pat on generous coat of powder and let 1t set for few minutes before brushing off the excess.
 Use about twice as much mas- cara as you generally apply for ordinary evening parties. Do not put too much water. on the little brush and be careful not to make smudges on your carefully made up lids and cheeks. If you want to curl your lashes, hold pencil behind them and brush upward over the pencil as you are putting on the mascara.
 Rouging your lips is the final step. Smooth lipstiek on from corner to corner, let 1t set. then rub lips lightly with cleansing tis- sues.

A vegetable salad with toasted meat sandwiches is one of my fa- vorite September lunches. I spread the meat mixture on a thick slice of buttered bread, roll 1t up like a jelly roll, cut 1t down in slices and toast the slices.
 My salad I make of finely shred- ded Chinese cabbage and sweet green peppers with a border of sliced pickled beets. It is perfect ly simple but 1t looks unusually attractive.
 Easy To Make
 But the sandwiches are the real achievement. We have named them corned beef rolls.
 Two half-inch slices of bread, cut lengthwise of loaf, IA cups finely chopped cold boiled corned beef, 2 teaspoons minced onion, 3 tablespoons melted butter, 2 ta- blespoons prepared mustard, 1-3 cup mayonnaise.
 Use bread as fresh as you can cut 1t evenly, because the fresher the bread the heater the rolls. Re- move crust and spread lightly with softened butter. Mix beef. onion and mayonnaise and spread on bread. Spread with mustard and roll up like a jelly roll. Cut each roll in four slices one inch thick. Place on a buttercd baking sheet, cut side up. Brush with melted butter and bake in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) until crisp and toasted. Ittwill take about twenty minutes.
 A delicious dessert to serve with this luncheon is apple candy. " Apple Candy

by their decision. If q city desired to q
loosening Of regulations, the responsibility
was put upon the city and its law enforce
ment forces.
In the publication Of this editorial, the
only thought in mind Is to remove the
possible impression that might have been
left in the minds of some that Browns
vile is an extraordinarily unlawful city.
We believe the contrary to be true. We
believe that laws of all kinds are observed
in Brownsville and that the city's police
records will show Brownsville with q
cleaner slate Of crime than is maintained
in most cities its size the country over.

MORE WORK, MORE PAY

December figures for American manu-
featuring, just compiled, indicate the re-
sumption Of an upward trend which if con-
tinued will provide a good deal of reason
for optimism.
A bulletin from the National Industrial
Conference Board shows that more men
were at work in December than in Novem-
Der, that they were working longer hours
and that their weekly earnings were high
er.
Number of men employed in % manu-
featuring industries was up 2.7 per cent,
total number of hours worked was up by
SO per cent, and weekly earnings were up
by 3.2 per cent-and, at the same time, the
cost of living remained stationary.
All this, to be sure, leaves us with a long
way to go. But the trend is in the right
direction. and we are entitled to feel en-
coTraged by it.

excerpt from a resolution passed last
Sunday by the unanimous vote of the con-
gregations of the Methodist, Baptist, Pres
byterian and Christian Churches of
Brownsville.
Certainly one would expect the church
es Of the community to 60 on records, as
the four churches above named did 60 on
RECORD in Brownsville, in favor of law en-
forcement, and certainly 1t is easy to un-
derstand how the wording of the partic-
ular part of the resolution quoted above
came about.
We have no doubt but that the resolu-
ton passed by the four Brownsville
churches was passed in its entirety by
churches the state over, and no doubt in
most Of the communities where the reso-
Tuition was considered, the wording of the
resolution was appropriate in every respect.
We do believe, however, that an un-
whiting and unthought injustice was done
the city of Brownsville in that part of the
resolution quoted at the beginning of this
editorial.
Brownsville Is q remarkably clean city.
we say that on our own knowledge and
on report Of those who visit our city from
other sections of the country.
There are no open saloons in Browns
vile. We seriously doubt that this state
ment could truthfully be made about any
city of the same size in the State of Texas,
land about few cities of half the popula-
ton Of Brownsville. There are fewer
saloons in Brownsville selling the legal
ICED 80 beer than will be found in the
average city of half the population of
brownsville.
Such dance halls and similar places Of
amusement as operate in Brownsville are
under constant and steady surveillance
and are kept within bounds. There are
no houses of i'll fame operating within
the city.
Cameron county cities. Valley cities, are
az clean and az law abiding as their pop
~ulation desires. For many years it has
been the custom in Cameron county, for
instance, for the sheriff of the county to
leave to the community the regulation of
its own affairs. City officials nave had
It left squarely up to them, and in most
cases the sheriff of the county has abided

Every family in which there are children ought TO
have a fever thermometer.
With II, you might worry q good deal by occasional
instances In which the temperature Is above normal
and In which there is nothing seriously wrong. But
you will also detect many conditions In their earliest
stages and. by calling a physician promptly. you
will save yourself a great deal Of prolonged illness
and serious complications.
Apparently the first man to measure temperature
was an Italian named Sanctorius. who developed q
thermometer. After he built his thermometer. which
was en- exceedingly bulky instrument, It occurred %
him to measure the heat Of the body.
About TIA. Fahrenheit invented the Thermometer
used In this country. the mercury thermometer with
the Fahrenheit scale.
AS late as 1870 Thermometers used In measuring
fevers were a5out 10 inches long. we're placed under
the arm and took 5 minutes to register. The modern
compact fever thermometer. used in the mouth and
other cavities Of the BODY. is a much more recent in
vention.
In the case Of small babies the temperature should
always be taken in the rectum. rather than In the
mouth. The normal temperature as taken in the
rectum varies between SO and 996.
1Ou Snouio always ~ sure THAI the mercury % wei
shaken down before putting the thermometer into
the body.
In taking temperature in the rectum, a special Their
mometer with a blunt tip is used. The child IL placed
face downward. preferably on the mothers lap. The
thermometer. well creased with vaseline. cold cream
or petroleum.. should then be placed in the rectum
and held in position Until removed.
The mother should not 60 away and leave the child
with the Thermometer In place. because the child may
turn and break the Thermometer and seriously injure
itself. Neither should the thermometer ever be placed
in the rectum with the child lying on its back.
After the thermometer is used. 1t should be washed
thoroughly with soap and water. then placed in
alcohol for 5 minutes. dried and returned to It's case.
Never wash a fever thermometer with hot water.
This may break II.
