We will continue cur W0lk for
 the repeal of Section 213 of the Economy Act which prohibits both husband and wife from being em- ployed by the Government, as we feel that this section diserimin- ates against women and encroaches upon civil service rights.

Women have always been the center of things in the home and in spiritual affairs and today our responsibilities are far greater than those of our mothers and grand mothers because today we have the ballot. Our franchise privilege is one of our most precious possess sions, I beg of you make use of it come next November.

RALLY AROUND AMERICA, SAYS
 HIGH OFFICIAL
President of Federal Wom- en S Club Off on Tour
 of Country

WASHINGTON, Oct 5.-Nrs. Ro- berta Campbell Lawson, President of the General Federation of Wo- mems Clubs, who has left Wash ngton to address the annual con- V ntions of several state federa- tons, is rarrying a ringing message to the women of America to rally around America, it's institutions and traditions and to leave nothing un- done to preserve them in their fin est form for future generations.
 For Americans
 Our country was founded for Americans, said Mrs. Lawson. Through generations we have be- ieved America sincere, and if we wish to preserve it each and every one of us must do his true Ameri- can duty. To me our glaring fail ure as citizens is not failure to build up wealth, or failure to be spectac- ular i'll world affairs, but it is a slipping away from the spiritual ideals of our forefathers. If we can rebuild that bulwark, no outside delusions will penetrate our minds. We are told that there are COCO agltators in our country today who speak disparagingly of our govern ment and that these agitators al- ready have 10000 followers. Even with these distressing figures I re- fuse to be discouraged. Surely those who have enjoyed the freedom and the protection which our great dem ocracy offers must see the light and return to the field of sanity and safety.

Treasured
Teach Boys and Girls
the Joy of Making
Things ThatLast.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE bride was showing her treas
ures. And look at this quilt. 1t
was made by my great-grandmother.
Can you imagine? Just look at those
stitches and those hundreds and hum
dreds of little pieces. Isn't the quilt
ing EXQUISITE? Every stitch of it done
by hand, my great-grandmothers
hand. You know it makes me feel
all glad and creepy just to touch 1t.
That little chair is the chair my
grandmother used to sit in when she
washed her babies. Sit in it and see.
Just right. isn't it? No arms on 1t
to get in the way, just lovely, broad
low chair. My grandfather made 1t
for her before my Uncle johnnie is
the oldest-was born, and grand
mother said that the first grand
daughter to be married should have 1t.
So it is mine. Isn't it great to have
things with stories to them?"
Great indeed! And what bit OF
handwork, what sturdy or lovely thing
will this generation hand down to the
later ones? Are we going to forget all
that? Going to lose the associations
of family that have been coming
down the years in unbroken charm?
There is no need for such failure.
Our boys and girls are just as eager
to use their hands, just as eager to
create lovely things for themselves
and their children as ever their an
cestors were. Let us give them
chance They have more time. handler
tools, better conditions all around
than their elders had.
Boys like to weave, embroider, make
tapestries. They seem to do better
than the girls at the weaving. A loom
set I'D in some corner that the boy
can call his own might be good idea.
Woodworking is always attractive to
boys. Usually they begin by making
boats, but If they are encouraged by
word and example they go further
and make useful and beautiful things
by and by. A set of carving tools and
some lessons in wood carving might
be fine present for beauty-loving
boy.
Girls like fancy work. They knit,
weave, crochet, embroider, make chair
covers and wall tapestries If they get
the chance and the necessary instruc-
ton. Samplers are being made again.
The story of the family. The differ
ent places they have lived in, the
work they did. told in pictures and
figures.
The things the great-grandfathers
passed down were not made to be
heirlooms. They were made for daily
service and decoration. That is one
Of the secrets of their lasting beauty.
People have used them and left some
thing of themselves in them. Their
names are written on them and in
them. Our children can do the same.
Teach them to work steadily and
slowly 1t is not work to be done
in a few hours. but work that covers
time and takes in bit of their lives.
Have them write and work in the
date upon which they commenced the
work and sign it and set the date
again when they finish it. Those
items are important to the later own
ers. They give the work authority,
meaning. and the rich beauty that
human hands and human living alone
can bestow.

Dorothy Dix Says
Whether or Not Wife Shall Work Is
Mooted Question.

his best like feeling that his wife is
dependent upon him. Other people
tell me that it belittles a man for
his wife to work outside of the home
and that people think less OF him
if she does. What is your advice in
the matter? SARAH.
Answer-No question is more COM
plex than this. None to which 1t Is
more impossible to give a direct an
swer, because in every case whether
or not the wife should follow some
gainful occupation depends upon the
individual circumstances.
T DO NOT think that any woman
who has young children should
work outside of the home unless it is a
case of dire necessity. Very often 1t
is, because the meager earnings of
the husband are not enough to give
the children the food and environ
ment they need, but with the mothers
salary added they can be given ad-
vantages that more than compensate
for the loss of her personal services.
Whether the wife should work out
side of the home depends upon the
husbands attitude toward it. If he
objects strongly and if it hurts his
pride for her to do so, she should
respect his feelings in the matter un-
less it Is a case of actual starvation.

it will develop an inferiority complex
in him that will wreck him because
it will break down his belief in his
ability to succeed. A wife can do more
to help such a man by bucking him
up and keeping up his courage than
she can by any money that she could
make The clinging vine holds up
many tottering oak that would fall
but for the brace 1t gives it.
THE idea that it is any reflection
on a man for his wife to work
outside of the home after they are
married is so antiquated that 1t seems
to have come out of the hairtrunk in
the attic. The modern view is that 1t
is an indication that the man is broad
and liberal and just and willing to give
his wife a fair deal. For the sake OF
his pride he is not willing to force
his wife to go shabby and half-starved
and be deprived of every pleasure and
amusement rather than let her earn
the money that will make her COM
Portable. He Is not dog in the man
ger. II he can't give her what she
wants. he doesn't stand in the way OF
her getting it for herself.
As for what people say, let them be
saying it. AS long as we are doing
the thing that we think is right and
that our own Judgment commends, the
comments OF the neighbors should go
in one ear and out of the other.

1t seems that long ago dogs had to

Great Great Grandfather Bingo killed
his dinner. Then he had to groWl,

size in order to keep the other dogs
from snatching it from him. While
he was growing he gulped. Today
he still growls through his descend

also gulps, but it's the dog who does
the gulping in person who occasionally

in the meat. AS a rule, dog biscuits
