WAN WuU POooCooCo q otOA6y,
~ commonplace but otherwise
~ perfectly satisfactory wife
4 4 complained to his family ply
stefan that she was deficient in fem
mime charm and grace and wanted to
know If she could not be given some
sort of treatment that would make her
glamorous and fascinating. The doc
tor, knowing of no prescription that
would turn Mary Ann into Marianne,
passed the buck to the American Med
ical Association, whose experts re-
piled: "There Is no extract which can
replace the lack of inherited or &C
quired qualities Of womanly charm. A
girl must be born with it, or else she
must learn it in youth by initiating
some older woman who knows this
secret or has these manners"
lief that allure comes in bottles and
jars and can be purchased at the drug
store or the beauty shop. But 1t is q
salve to her disappointment to learn
on the highest authority that If
neither surgery nor medicine can
change her into q vamp, taking
thought will, and that she can acquire
the tricks by which women conjure
II she will apply herself to the task.
THIS is true for charm that is
mental rather than physical. Often
very beautiful woman will entirely
lack it, and when she does all OF
her perfection of feature and figure
and coloring 60 for naught. We ad-
mire her casually and impersonally
and pass on. She has none Of the
magnetism that attracts people to her.
Not even men who are said to be
drawn to beauty by single hair, and
that is why in every community we
find so many goodlooking and clever
girls who never have q date and who
are drifting into old maidenhood.
And, on the other hand, it explains
Why so many homely girls who are just
the ordinary run-of-the-min feminin-
ity are the center Of attraction wher-
ever they 60. have boys fiocking around
them like bees around honey pot,
and as long as they live can marry
whenever and as often as they choose.
They have charm. And If woman
has charm she doesn't need anything
else, not even good looks.
Now it is as advantageous to be
born with charm as It is to be born
with q golden spoon in your mouth.
It saves you lot Of work and worry.
But Just as you can make q whole set
of cutlery for yourself by gumption
and industry, If your fairy godmother
neglected to drop any INTO your cradle,
so you can acquire charm II you are
willing to take the trouble to do so.
4 y r
OBSERVE, then, the charmer. Study
her technique. What is 1t about
her that makes every eye brighten at
her coming and every lip smile well
come? Isn't it because she is so
alive, so vital, so full Of pep, so enthu-
siastic, so interested In everything and
everybody? She Is human champagne
bubbling over with sparkle and joy
and there Is something about her
presence that exhilayates ~.

Don't Care
CryCallsfo for
Assistance
Children Who Really
Care Avoid Giving
Information.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

TT WAS a mean day, rainy ana cola.
L Fudge had to stay indoors.
"Gee wiz, nothing to do in the old
house. Ma, what can do?"
"Sit still. Read book or some
thing, but don't go galumphing every
where. First thing you know you'll
break something"
Fudge sat few minutes and turned
the pages of his book. 1t was no use.
He had to do something or bust.
Down went the book. 1.-THE dumb
thing" said he. as he YEARLY got
to his feet and stretched and then
reached for the sofa pillow. First he
punched and then he tossed it. And
then somehow the cushion took a
wrong direction. 1t flew backwards
out of his hand and crash went the
vase that stood on the side table.
"Pudge, what in the world has come
over YOU? You are the worst child I
ever saw. For that you stay home on
Saturday instead of going to the
party"
This was too much. Fudge was
crushed at this new misfortune. He
muttered: "Who cares? I don't want
to 60 to the old party"
20, you don't want to go? All right.
I'll take good care that you don't, and
what's more-you're going to bed right
now"
at don't care what do" he shouted.
When a child says he doesn't care
what he does, why not take the gesture
at its face value? My experience tells
me that the child, who says, II don't
care" is already caring too much. AL
children, from babyhood on, care
about their standing with their fel-
lows. They care deeply, painfully, in
dignantly, and they hide their dis
tress behind swagger.
A mother writes: 1--WE can't get
along with Thomas. He won't do
anything we ask him, and he tells
us to our faces that he doesn't care
what we say. I am going to send him
to a private school where he will be
made to care. We are SO unnerved
that we are always miserable"
The child who does not care is not
going to take the trouble to tell you
so. He will let the fact seep into your
mind gradually, gently, cheerfully.
You will notice no tension in his voice,
no shadow in his eyes, no swagger in
his speech. He won't rise in anger
and say he doesn't care. Not he. 1t
is only the troubled child who makes
that speech. Why not listen to his
inner self? Hear what he does not
say and know that he needs lift
over difficulty. Give it to him and you
won't need private school. You
won't even need me to tell you that
the boy is frightened.
81 don't care" is signal of dis
tress, not of rebellion. When one is
forced to the wall one has to fight
back as best he can. The dignity of
childhood forbids show of weakness.
Furnishing him isn't going to get
either you or him anywhere.
The next time you hear, IT don't
care" know it for what it is-a call
for help, challenge to love and
leadership.

USE OF RELIEF
SURPLUS FOR
B0NUSURGED

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 0N.S0.
Col. Frank Knox. possible Repub-
lican presidential candidate, be-
lieves that the Administration
should either cancel that portion
Of the relief appropriation re-
naming that is not needed for
relief" or use it to pay off the
soldiers bonus.
Vigorously attacking the Admin.
iStration, Knox took this stand In
q speech last night before 1000
business leaders at the convention
of the Associated Business Papers,
Inc.
He said he would rather see
part of the huge appropriation
used to pay off the bonus than
to see it wasted or used for parti.
san purposes"
Hits SOcialiStic Trend
Attacking the Administration
trend toward socialism, he said:
Il believe in an American form
Of government. and not in one
that at every sunrise finds its ad.
ministrators facing East in wor-
ship of Karl Marx"
Colonel Knox depicted "collec-
tiviSm" as he saw 1t in recent
travels through Italy, Germany
and Russia. He remarked that
Prof. Tugwell, Undersecretary of
Agriculture. found much to ad.
mire in Russia, where. Colonel
Knox said, nearly 10 per cent of
the farms are operated on the
planned economy" basis, and un.
der which system from 1900. 900
to 100000 Russian farmers died
Of starvation in 1882"
The speaker charged that there
are three inSeparableS in the pres
ent Administration. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the New Deal and So
cialism. He explained: The New
Deal Roosevelt gave the American
people was not the 1882 platform
of the Democratic party. The
New Deal he substituted is his
deal. The TugwellS are his ap-
pointees. BY keeping them he gives
consent to what they say"
Lure for DictatOrS
Colonel Knox also quoted the
Los Angeles speech Of President
Roosevelt, saying:
1T seems that by now it would
be apparent to everyone that Pres
ident Roosevelt is determined to
make over this nation Of ours to
suit himself"
Telling of his firsthand observa-
tions of planned economy" in
Europe. Colonel Knox said:
by the very nature of it's opera
tions, planned economy makes
dictators, and dictators make and
enforce their own rules, using
whatever force is necessary. In
democracy, dictators can gain
power by Turing the people with
unfulfillable promises. and they
can retain it by doing two things:
Scores Glass Venom Spread
l. By appropriating the peo-
pies money and being "generouS"
with it.
2. BY encouraging diSSenSion
among the people and preaching
that private ownership is a capital
istic theory when, as q matter of
fact, it is no such thing. Private
ownership is a teaching Of the
Bible.
"The person who attempts to
inject the venom of class distinc-
tion and class hatred into the
American people has no place
here, and particularly has he no
place in the administration Of the
affairs of this nation"

UNCLE WIGGLY AND
THE BLUE ROBIN
Copyright 1885
by Mcclure
Syndicate

Ono day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping through the woods, wish
ing he might again see Goldilocks
and her three bears, the rabbit gen.
tleman heard a sad yipping, yap-
ping sound in the bushes and out
hoped little bird partly red and
partly blue.
MY goodness! What an oddly
colored birdl" exclaimed the rabbit
gentleman. Hello !" he called.
What are you, bluebird or a red
robin?"
81 msort of half and half" was
the answer. I'm blue robin"
II never heard of a blue robin" ;"
said Uncle Wiggily.
Neither did I, answered the odd
bird. Nor anyone else. That's just
the trouble and why I am SO sad"
IT thought you sounded rather
sad" said Mr.. Longears. Perhaps
II you tell me about it can find
way to help you"
"I don't believe you can, but I'll
tell you," chirped the blue robin.
Now that Uncle Wiggily looked more
closely at the bird he saw that part
of his breast feathers were red and
part were blue.
You may we'll say that" chirped
the bird. You know that the eggs
out Of which we robin birds are
ratched are blue in color don't you,
Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, yes" answered Mr.. Long
ears. Il have long known about
robin egg blue color"
Something Must Have Happened"
Well" went on the bird, sit
seems strange that a red robin
should hatch out of blue egg, but
so 1t is, though I don't know why.
But something must have happened
to the egg out of which 1 was
Matched"
"Why?" asked the rabbit gentle
man.

Reorganization
OF Experimental
Theatre Tuesday

Revival of the favorite melodrama
of the COS, East Lynne, is contem-
plated as Experimental theatres
first production.
This decision was made last night
when the group held a reorganiza-
ton meeting at the home of Alice
Pulliam, 673 Brighton avenue.
1t was decided to limit member
ship to "a active members, to hold
meetings the first and third Thurs
days of every month, and to admit
only those sufficiently interested in
the work of the group to forego
conflicting engagements.
Leroy Rumsey outlined plans for
this first production which is in
line with the current popular trend
towards the rivival of nineteenth
century melodrama.
A unique and informal production
is planned and casting will take
place next week Thursday. The
play will be ready for presentation
in December and it is possible that
it will be presented at various farm
centers.

Because some of the blue color

into my feathers. So, instead Of
teing all red, they're partly blue"
"Yes, can see that" said Mr..
Longears. Your feathers are quite
pretty, I think, being of two colors,
red and blue"
They are pretty enough" chirped
the blue robin. But when I was
old enough to leave the nest to fly
about and pull up worms for my
self the other robins began talking
about me. Some said I wasn't
robin at all, but a bluebird and
should go and live with Them
Did you?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Il tried it, said the poor bird.

have me. either. They said I be-
longed back with the robins
What did you do then?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Disclaimed by Both
Il flew back to the robins, but
they only laughed at me. They
said, which was true. that no robin
ever had blue feathers. So I tried
the bluebirds again but they said
which was also true, that no blue
bird ever had red feathers. So I
have to hop about all alone by my
self and I am very sad"
ITS too bad" said Uncle Wiggily
Il wonder" Just then flock
of sparrows came flying through
the woods. They we're chipping and
cheeping and Uncle Wiggily called
to them: will you let the blue
robin stay with you?"
"Of course, we will" cheeped the
sparrows. Nobody cares very much
for us, anyhow. We are nobodies.
So If bird who is half robin and
half bluebird wants to fly with us,
let him come along"
There you are, blue robinl" said
Uncle Wiggily laughing. Go to the
Sparrows.'
Il will" said the sad little chap
and he did. So if you see a blue
robin in flock of sparrows you'll
know how it happened. And if the
