THREE PLANS TO
 STOP BIG STRIKE
Rubber Workers Met With Owners Before Secre-
 tary of Labor Perkins

Washington, April 12.-(UP)- Three plans for averting a strike of Akron Rubber Workers were advanced to-day as Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins met with management and labor groups. President Roosevelt was in close touch with the negotiations. Both sides appeared in defiant mood. Labor leaders were unwilling to recede from flat demands for union recognition and election of bargaining representatives. The company officials were firm in their refusal. The plans, develop ed in conferences between Secre- tary Perkins and officials of Good year, Goodrich and Firestone com panies were:
 1. The companies to withdraw appeals for court review of na- tional labor relations board rul- ings that all three companies must permit elections and that Fire stone cease to support and deal exclusively with a company union. The orders would then be effective at once.
 2. The companies to withdraw their appeals and permit the ]a- bor board to hold elections, re- serving the right to later review

When ordering turkey it is good

OF chopping them of. and to avoid
chopping of the wing tips when the

IN MAKING turkey stufing it is usu-
ally best to weigh the ingredients,
since generous proportions are neces-
sary. Approximately one cup of
stuft1ng per pound of turkey is a good
allowance. A 10-pound turkey re-
quires one and three-quarter pounds
Of bread, half a pound of butter or
rendered turkey fat. one-half pound
OF diced celery, one-fourth pound
blanched almonds. These ingredients
are for celery-almond stuflng, Of
course, but the amount of bread may
be taken as a good basic figure, and
oysters, chestnuts or sausage may be
substituted for the celery and almonds.
When the bird has been stuffed,
truss it so as to make a compact roast.

WHEN changing curtains the proper
tons of the windows are the first
to consider. If it is a tall and mar
row window the curtains should be
hung as far out at the sides as pos
sible, so that they may be drawn
back to the outside edge of the
architrave, and should not hang
lower than the window sill. II, on
the other hand, the window is wide
and not very high, and apparent
height is desired, the curtains should
be hung well within the architrave
and continue down to within an inch
or two of the floor This should
especially be done If formal effect
is sought.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
Stubborn People.

THERE is a general notion that
stubborn persons are born that
way. That doesn't seem to be the
case. They get that way. So far as
scientific experiment can 60 into the
subject, stubbornneSS Is noticeable first
at the age Of ID months. When a
child doesn't get the pampering it is
accustomed to, it will grow negative,
sullen, stubborn. Therefore, stubborn
ness is Just name for reactions that
all too often are rewarded with in
dulgent attention. Pamper child
three or four times and the stage
is set for a lifetime.
Stubbornness reaches its height in
children between the ages of and
years. Before the age of 8 girls seen:
to be more stubborn than boys. After
that you will find more cases among
boys. Normally, childish stubbornness
should decline fairly rapidly after the
age of years. There are persons,
however, who never outgrow their
stubbornness. The only thing you IAN
say is that they were pampered too
long.
Stubbornness is always accompanied
by a feeling Of disregard for the
opinions of others. In other words,
the stubborn person is one who has
not grown up to accept society as it
is. Most criminals are stubborn.
That's because all criminals are ego
tistical-they think only Of themselves
and their own wishes.

Fame Lives
In Strength
And Effort
Perfection Is Grea t
Goal, Only Partly
to Be Realized.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

MAJ
AA Yes, son."
did you ever know that George
Washington did things that weren't
right?"
II suppose he did. Even great men
have their faults. Why?"
Il thought Washington didn't. You
know, I thought he was perfect, al
most"
well, he was. I'll explain it as
well as can. When you look across
the valley toward Blue Hill the hill
looks blue, and its face looks smooth
as velvet, doesn't it?"
"Yes, but 1t isn't that way when you
try to climb it. It's rough. I fell
into the ravine last Spring. I guess
I know it isn't velvet"
"It's a beautiful mountain, though,
isn't is? It stands out there against
the sky like giant. You look toward
| 1t every morning to see what 1t says
about the weather, and how it looks
with the trails Of mist floating from
its head. You look at 1t every once in
a while just to make yourself feel all
right. Anyway, do. I seem to think
that as long as Blue Hill stands in its
place and wears its beautiful mantle
Of color, sends us message of serenity
and hope and strength, we can 60 on
for another day
yeah. Blue Hill is all right, ma"
"You don't trouble about the scars
on its face or the rough places on its
sides, do you? You just look at it
standing of there In blue haze. proud
and silent. and yet somehow mighty
friendly. That's how I think of
George Washington and a whole lot Of
other fine men and women who have
a good place to live in. None Of them
was perfect. But they were as per-
feet as they could be. That's enough.
when you make excuses for being
wrong just so you can be that way,
then you're soft in the head. Wash
ington and the other leaders of Amer
lea did their level best to be men and
women, as perfect as possible. It's not
perfection that matters. It's trying
to be perfect that counts. If strong
men and women have weak spots what
is 1t to you? It's their strong qualities
that count and make them giants and
landmarks. They piled strength on
strength and power on power. The
pee-wees gather their weaknesses,
count them over and over, make ex-
cuses for keeping them Ever try to
say, Well, didn't Benjamin Franklin,
or George Washington, or Florence
Nightingale do things, too?'
They did things that so far out
weighed what they didn't do as to
make their faults no heavier than
mountain mists, slight roughnesses on
the noble work they erected to mark
the road and point the way. The sum
Of character is its force and extent
Of its power. You will find that the
imrnortals summed high in achieve
ments for the good Of the race"

Modern Methods of Cooking Turkey Give the Best Results

1t Is better to water evergreens
