Expensive
Text Books
Need Care
Abusing Taxpayers
Property Is Bad
Business.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: There
~ LIS one mistake that many Of you
are making every day, mistake that
many of us older people would be glad
to have you correct. I mean your
careless use of school supplies. You
are given a set of text books, very
expensive ones indeed. They have to
be paid for before you get them. The
bill is a big one. You and your fam
lily have to share the cost of supplying
these books and the other things you
use. The more Of them that have to
be bought the more we must pay. and
the more you, too, must pay. Taxes
touch every man, woman and child in
the community. Taxes pay for every
thing you get in school.
Not long ago I saw group OF chill
dren set their books along the side
walk even distances apart and play
hop-scotch over them. Every now
and then somebody would miss hop
and kick a pile of books into the
gutter or over against the fence. Ev-
erybody laughed at the good joke.
did not feel like laughing when I
thought of the cost that such game
Dust mean. Torn and dirty books
cannot be used again. New ones must
be bought and the people taxed again
to buy them.
I have seen pupils take clean sheet
Of paper, begin to write on it, crumple
1t up and toss it into the basket and
ask for another This practice costs
money, more than should ever be paid
for the paper needed. Pencils are
bitte& whitfield down, thrown away
and an immediate request for a new
one is made with all the assurance
that Righteousness supplies. Again the
costs mount.
On the way home from school some
boys think it is great fun to throw
their books at the street lights and
break the globes. The books fly
through the air, hit the globe and
then land on the street with crash.
No book can stand that for any length
of time. No community can afford to
pay for globes at the rate they are
broken in such games.
Boys say: They don't belong to
anybody. They belong to the city.
The city pays for them" And who
is the city? Has the city pockets? 1t
has tax Offices that call for the money
that is in taxpayers pockets. And
the taxpayers are yourselves, your
families. Every time you add to the
tax bill by your careless use of public
property you add to the costs of your
own living. What you pay in taxes
you cannot eat, you cannot go to the
movies with, you cannot use for any
personal purpose. You have to pay
the bill that you helped pile up. Taxes
are heavy enough without adding a
penny to them, as your own people
will tell you.
Just remember next time you feel
like throwing books around or eating
pencils and tearing up paper that the
bill will be added to your rent, your
movies, your clothes and your food
bills. II you do not pay your tax
directly you pay it indirectly in these
ways. Stop wasting your own money.
You are the city. Save what you can
and begin now to study the use to
which your money is put when you do
pay your taxes. Waste is bad business.
Yours truly, ANGELO PATRI.

capons, plump and weighing a great
deal more than the ordinary roasters.
Capons have particularly fine-grained
meat, and more of the white than
other chickens. Most Of them are
milk-fed, and they are relatively ex-
pensive-however, for parties" they
are hard to beat.
If you are looking for less costly
poultry, there are at this same time
good, tasty stewing Enthusiastically
called "old fowl" by the butchers.
These are unsurpassed for stews. cur
ries, pot-roasting, chicken pie, chicken
casserole, fricaSSees, creamed chicken,
chicken Ia king, and so on. They
have the added advantage of helping
the budget in two ways-for the liquor
in which they are stewed makes the
most delicious and delicate soup,
which, when served with the addition
Of little rice, barley, or milk, is a
nourishing and Savory first course, or
forms most of very young child's
supper menu.
THIS year. unhappily. the prices Of
all poultry are higher than here
tofore. In spite of predictions to the
contrary, turkeys are way up in the
price scale. But if you will buy poul-
try when it is at the height of its par
ticular season you will find that the
cost is not so prohibitive as when that
special kind is purchased when it is
scarce on the market. There Is, of
course, always supply of cold storage
birds, but it is only in season that the
average buyer can afford to purchase
"fresh-killed" or fresh chilled" birds.
Fresh killed means, naturally, that
the birds have been killed just before
they are sold-probably only day or
two. Fresh chilled poultry Is chilled
Immediately after Killing, and held
under refrigeration until sold-usually
in some distant market.
According to the bureau. the gen.
eral procedure is this: The farmer
sells his poultry alive to some local
dealer or ships it alive in coops to .

then once in awhile one

bowls you over with its newness and
freshness and complete smartness of
line and detail. Even those whose busi-
ness it Is to dash of wearable dresses
will say, Now that is good dress, I"
and those who look at all the parade
Of frocks, and perhaps write about
them, get bit of sparkle in the
eye and a realization that here is
something different, dress that clicks
with all ideals of chic, of suitability,
q really smart dress!
And that is what we think about
this dress! The neckline Of this dress
Is perfect. 1t comes up high about
the throat, but the effect is achieved
with some subtlety. There isn't a
collar, but the fabric that goes into
the making Of the narrow front panels,
and the shoulder yoke is shaped in
such a way that it stands up around
the neck and continues on down the
entire length Of the sleeves in a mar
row band. Two buttons, linked
together, finish the top of the panels
and hold them together, and the
same buttons are repeated in the
fastening of the tailored belt. Then
there are most unusual pockets
perched on each hip. You look at
them, for we can't give you an ade-
quate description of their shape. They
are sort of like an envelope flap,
only not entirely SO, and each one
has a button to make it more in
teresting. The skirt has a seam
down the front and a wide, inverted
pleat that starts at the knees, so

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
Reading.

D EADING is in some respects a
mere mechanism. But it Is a
mechanism of very fine movements.
Movements of the mind.
The average fourth-grade pupil will
silently read about 40 words a minute,
depending, of course, on the words
that a fourth-grader should recognize
at sight. The average fifth-grader
will come pretty close to reading a
word a second, same conditions pre-
vailing, and the average sixth-grader
will approximate two words q second.
In the days of our fathers oral
reading was the fashion. This method
required a longer time, Of course.
Today the theory is that reading
should always be silent. We live much
faster nowadays. We read less for
the sake or satisfaction of others.
The big idea is to acquire speed
for the sake of economy. Children
trained to read under the old system
acquired the habit of wasting about
half their reading time. Generally
speaking, adults read about as fast
as they learned to read in the seventh
or eighth grade of school.
Suppose you accept the plain fact
that reading is movement. This means
that oral reading is handicap to
the pupil.

" " are always telling me that
I should marry. but why?
live in club where eat food that
is cooked by a chef who Is an artist
instead Of by girl with can opener.
A valet service takes care of my
clothes. Nobody questions my right to
my latchkey and do not have to lis
ten to a lecture when I come home
late at night. spend my money on
myself instead Of buying imported
hats and gowns for a wife with a
clothes complex, or paying for having
her little brothers adenoids taken out,
or sending her mother of on a
pleasure trip. So see no percentage
in marriage as an investment for me.
What's the good Of a wife, anyway"
Well, son, If you get good wife her
price is above rubies, as the Good
Book says. You've got gift that your
guardian angel has sent right straight
down from heaven to you. You've got
somebody to love you even when you
are unlovable; somebody who will put
up with your cantankerousness in
stead Of giving notice and quitting;
somebody you have fooled into believ-
ing you are hero and a sheik; some
body who will save your money, take
care Of your health, cheer you up
when you are downhearted, stimulate
your ambition, work her fingers to
the bone for you, and who will feel
herself amply repaid If you give her
an occasional pat on the head and
throw her kind word.
RUT even when wife isn't perfect
domestic jewel she still Is a valu-
able asset to a man, whether she is q
parlor ornament or kitchen con-
venience.
A woman has many other functions
in marriage besides being a good wife
and mother and housekeeper and
sock-darner, and perhaps the most i'm
portant of these is being q scapegoat
for her husband. On little Nanny's
head he lays all Of his sins of omis-
sion and commission. She is the
standing excuse for all Of his blunders
and failures.
The bachelor falls or stands by his
own acts. Not so the married man.
His wife is to blame for everything
that goes wrong. If he wallows in the
gutter his wife drove him to drink; If
he Is q philanderer it Is because his
wife did not understand him; If he
fails In business 1t Is never because Of
his laziness, or his spending all Of his
time on the golf links, or his general
incompetence; 1t is because of his
wife's extravaganza. Her value as an
alibi is worth any wife's board and
keep.
Another thing q wife Is good for Is
pinch hitting for her husband, doing
all the little chores he doesn't like to
do, such as writing to his mother and
telling her how hard poor, dear Tom
Is working and buying Christmas
presents for his sisters children and
picking out wedding gifts and sending
flowers to funerals and writing notes
Of coincidence and sending kilograms

Procedure
AtWedding
Reception
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: I've followed
your instructions word for word
in arranging for my coming wedding,
but I can't find that you have men
toned anything anywhere about what
the bride does with her bouquet when
she leaves the receiving line at the
reception to go to take her place at
the brides table.
Answer-She takes it with her and
puts it down on the table wherever
there is room. If the table Is small,
space may perhaps be left for 1t in
the center, or possibly she leaves
it on chair placed nearby for the
purpose.
Dear Mrs. Post: My wedding can
include only our immediate families
and four very closest friends of both
of us. Does this fact make 1t un-
suitable for a dear friend, who can't
be invited to the wedding, to give
a party to announce my wedding
date? I had a party at which my
engagement was announced almost
year ago.
Answer-In the first place, party
to announce the date Of an approach
ing marriage is utterly unknown to
convention, and in the second place,
it would certainly be very improper
to give the date of your wedding par
ticular prominence because it would
only serve to exaggerate the fact
that the majority Of those present
are not to be invited. Apart from
this, any friend may give you what
ever party she likes.

Sketched in q Washir

WE SAID that white is important
w and we add that it is very lovely
in crepe or sheer. In one frock with
shirred bodice, the skirt Is entirely
pleated. making a marvellous dancing
dress. 1t has flowers in fuchsia shades
at the base of the v neck.
A white sheer, equally suitable for
dancing. has rhinestones all over it to
catch the light. There is a square
neckline, little shoulder caps and
much skirt fullness. Both of these
dresses are under $40.
A bit more sophisticated Is heavy
white crepe cut on princess lines, with
center front seam. The halter neck
Is the meeting place of two crossed
bands of crystal beaded crepe ac-
cented with blue and gold.
A MOTHER shop Is proclaiming
tango red as q holiday color and
believes that cleaning jewels and
sparkling metal threads make 1t
everything that it should be. They
show a red frock diagonally striped in
silver, and another one with sunbursts
Of red Jewels worked into the ma
terial at intervals to illustrate their
point. Very long fringe is also good
and makes the trimming for another
real formal.
TN A RECENT exhibition Of smart
models from the expensive dress
salon of one of our large stores there
was shown an intriguing white eve
ming gown of crepe with high-waisted
pleated bodice outlined with rhine
stone bands in Grecian fashion. A
very lovely pleated train was new
back feature.
One of the handsomest gowns shown
was q rich sapphire blue velvet well
nodded to the figure, with rather
wide v neck, which was built up with
three strands Of fair-size pearls.
This fashion show went further
than the immediate needs Of the mo-
ment. and exhibited q number of
Southern resort models. The evening
gowns were very large floral prints in
rich colors on white or light colored
backgrounds. Some Of these had long
capes to match. The daytime dresses
showed dark accessories with bright
prints In interesting combinations,
making use Of gray, Dubonnet and
dark blue In many frocks.
