something"

"Yes, but look at this g. You left
It open at the top"
"oh, that was just little slip. I
closed that one"
"And here's t. that doesn't touch
the line, and look how you crossed 1t.
Why did you slant the line like that?

Eyes, I see. I'm glad you got one.

full. Do your best to be perfect.
don't like to see mistakes on your
paper"
It was a long time before that little
boy took another paper to show his
mother. She hadn't liked this one.
Even the star on the top had failed
to win any praise. Bobbie's mother
would have shouted her Joy in the
market place, the whole neighbor-
hood would have known that her
Bobbie had star. Well, he wouldn't
try for another star as long as they
were no good.
Little children have to try hard to
get penmanship paper that is good
enough to have star stamped on 1t.
Forming letters is difficult; and get
ting them to hang together, and stay
the right distance from each other,
that is hard, too. Their tongues are
tired when that paper is handed to
the teacher, and their hands feel stiff
and sore. But all the fatigue vanishes
when the teacher smiles and stamps
that star on the top. Fine. Show
that to your mother and see what she
says" And all she says Is, BE per-
feet next time"
The teacher meant the work was
perfect for the ability Of the child.
He must work within his limitations.
and II then he succeeds In attaining
some degree of success he is doing well.
Perfection is not for beginners IN any
field. All that can be asked Of them
is q sincere effort and a passable de-
gree Of achievement. Their work
must be praised and accepted 30 they
have the feeling of success to stimu-
late them to further effort. Remem-
ber that school work Is hard work for
little children.
The older children have the same
problem. They are beginners, and
much of their work must show the
marks of unframed minds and hands.
That is as it should be. ANY school
child's work should bear the marks Of
his apprenticeship, not the finish Of
the master. Work that is the express
sion Of a child's full power should
be marked high and praised as
worthy.
Any violation Of this rule is likely
10 make trouble. The child who feels
his work will not be approved even
though it Is the best he can do Is dis
couraged and stops trying. Sometimes
he Is driven to cheating to win the
coveted approval. The loss is all the
greater for him. Judge q child ac-
cording to his power and he will in
crease that power.

best in millinery. She believes in not
slavishly, in fact, advocates a tendency
away from the extremes of the moment
which by contrast gain distinction for
their wearers.
For instance, realizing that quills are
being used on almost every kind of hat,
regardless of price, she fashions a
smart quill effect of wired grosgrain
ribbon that is just different enough to
attract favorable comment. Instead
Of placing an outstanding feather atop
a black felt conical hat, she has clev-
erly substituted the topknot Of chanti-
cleer himself, red coxcomb and all.
This is an amusing surprise and you
will probably be seeing it appear at one
Of the smart cocktail lounges which
are scheduled to open their Fall seasons
in the near future.
An ageless type Of hat and one be-
coming to many women is an off the
face style with a crown that fits well
down at the back. Making a sort of
background halo Of black velvet, it
may be draped across the forehead
with velvet folds Of becoming color
that perhaps is repeated elsewhere on
the black frock, or used for acceS-
Sories.
The feathered toque in soft brown Is
reminiscent Of the gay 90s, with two
green wings perched on the top.

black velvet bows up the front Of a

smartness, with cut-outs between to

front or turned about and worn at
the back. You'd love it with your
new black velvet frock.
WHAT about color in the new hats?
Will the hats continue to be
mostly black? Buyers report that
the first hat" Is overwhelmingly black
or black with dash of color, but
among those who invest in several
hats colored velvet turban is usual
ly one choice, and among the higher
priced groups more color is being dis
played than in many seasons.
And such colors! Bright poison
green and light violet velvet twisted
together around the base of a gray
felt crown, very high, and swept
across with long pheasant feather.
Rich cherry red antelope fiat bands on
black antelope toque. And the
touch of glitter is seen on black
felt toque entirely composed of over
tapping petals studded with tiny steel
beads, with big chou Of net on one
side.
Among the 1ow-crowned hats there
is the pillbox with tab extensions at
each side. These are centered with
dull gold ornaments. The fashion for
trimming hats with expensive jeweled
pins, or simpler clips and brooches of
gold metal is gaining rapidly with
the approaching of the social season.
These luxurious hats are sponsored by
Agnes in her newest collection. Ex-
elusive New York milliners are using
ornaments that cost as much as $40
apiece wholesale for formal turbans,
so be prepared for bright touches Of
gold and jewels on hats as well as
costumes.

and helpful. It may also 60 long
way in saving them from poor results
if they attempt meat canning, as 1t
points out possible pitfalls in very
detailed manner.
Meat canning" says the bureau,
must be done with a pressure can
ner. 1t is not safe to rely on the
boiling water bath. the oven or the
steamer. None of these can heat the
food beyond the boiling point (212
degrees F), and boiling hot is not hot
enough for meat. because it takes a
much higher temperature to make
sure of killing the bacteria which
cause meat to spoil, and which may
also cause food poisoning. For safety,
use the pressure canner, and process
canned meats and chicken at $50 de-
grees F. Without pressure Gamer
it is better not to can the meat, but to
preserve 1t some other way.
Chickens and all meat animals
intended for canning should be
slaughtered and handled in a thor
oughly sanitary way. And, unless the
meat is to be canned at once. it
should be thoroughly chilled-other-
wise decomposition begins within a
few hours. Freezing meat before can
ming is not advisable, however-the
canned product then Is not so good.

"CANNING utensils of enamelware,
aluminium, retinned metal, or
stainless metal, are best. Do not use
copper or iron, which may discolor
the meat. And do not allow the meat
to lie in contact with galvanized iron
more than 80 minutes, or it may take
up harmful quantities of zinc. Wooden
utensils or wooden surfaces require
special care to free them of bacteria.
Scrub them with soapy water to re-
move all grease and rinse in boiling
water. If they are used for several
days at stretch, disinfect them with
hypochlorite solution Calcium, potas-
sium, or sodium hypochlorite) after
scrubbing and scalding. Use plain tin
cans or glass jars for canning meats
and poultry. Chicken is more likely
than are other meats to discolor tin
cans. and sometimes there is deposit
on the chicken itself, but discolora-
ton will be least II the chicken is
packed hot and if proper headspace
is left in the containers.
THE most suitable sizes of con-
tainers are No. and 2l2 tin cans
and pint glass jars. Larger sizes re-
quire much heavier processing and
are not recommended.
DIRECTIONS FOR CANNING
CHICKEN.
Select plump hens, 2 years old or
a little over. Dress them as for cook
ing and take particular care not to
break the gall bladder because the
meat is then unfit for canning. Also
remove the lungs. kidneys and eggs.
Cut the chicken into the usual-sized
pieces for serving and separate into
three piles-the meaty pieces (breasts.

the bony pieces (backs, wings, necks,

When baking large potatoes, cut

An Interesting
Collection

Although the author is dead, the
success Of Life With Father"
that extremely humorous volume
that attracted much popular &C
claim, today has led it's publishers
to present posthumously a book
he was working on when he died.
Clarence Day had planned to
finish a revision of his second
book, 1.-THE Crows Nest" which
was published in 1921. He died
December %, 1885, with his work
almost completed. Since he had
talked his plans over with his
wife and his publisher the book
can now be offered almost in the
manner in which he promised it.
It contains a collection of es-
says, poems and sketches. From
the original 81 in THE Crows
Nest" Mr.. Day had already deleted
some and added % which had
never been published in book form.

Serious Study
OfNeW Deal

In a good factual newspaper
style, Ernest K. Lindley, political
correspondent for the New York
Herald Tribune, has undertaken
in his latest offering to set down
an unbiased account of the past
three years of the Roosevelt
regime.
His volume is entitled Half
Way With Roosevelt" Mr.. Lind
ley has been assigned to cover
Governor Landon in his campaign
for the present but prior to his
latest job he followed Franklin D.
Roosevelt for his paper from the
time he went to Albany as gov
ernor of New York until the mid
die of this summer.
1.-THE Roosevelt Revolut o n
written by Mr.. Lindley some time
ago, was also hailed by serious
historical students as a fair pres
entation of the current phase in
the political setup.
In the latest book Mr.. Lindley
takes the New Deal policies, the
Governments actions under
Roosevelt and proceeds to analyze
and record them in the hope OF
bringing down to earth a reali
zation of what they mean to the
masses of people throughout the
nation who are being bewildered
by the charges and counter
charges of political fanfare.

had one to tell for every occasion
and some of them were the rich

In his book he keeps right on
telling them. In some he doesn't
mince words. In others he tells
the kind of political stories that
made him famous.
In the very first of the book he
tells the story that got the only
real hearty laugh he had ever
seen Herbert Hoover give way to.
1t is a Quaker story about the three

Mendoza with an army of $500
men set out to found colony upon
the banks Of Mar Dulce, which
later came to be known as BuenoS

ruled otherwise and the fleet set
sail leaving Sebastian wistfully
swatting mosquitoes in Seville.
So much for history. When it

passed up Mendoza, the leader, the
martyred Juan de Ayolas and the
perfidious Irala to center his plot
around a simple middle-aged
peasant. Her name was Maria
Uzcundun. She was the daughter
of a fisherman of Ferrol. She was
IS years old and she came along
because she wanted a cloak Of
monkey fur.
She gave Julian Duguid a pic
turesque title for his book and
she, alone, of all that gallant two
thousand five hundred adven-
turers came home with her hearts
desire. Like Columbus, she kissed
the soil when at last she reached

Making Maria a heroine was a
dangerous experiment, but Duguid

Maria turns a fabulous chapter Of
history into a human tale and
makes the telling more believeable.
