Leaving No Stain

Let us seek so to live that our
bygone year may, to use Cowper's
beautiful expression, leave mo
stain upon the wing of time"
Of all the wingless angels ON
earth that you value, the man
who you know when he tells you
he will do a certain thing on a
certain day, will do it, is the most
precious.
We all know how much we like
a man when we hear he has just
died. Let's tell him little of
that before he does.
Rejoice in Friends Success
Allow no shadow of envy to mar
the sunshine of a friends sue
cess.
If one knows mean story on
himself, let him remember it
when he is tempted to tell a mean
story on someone else-and re-
frain.
The swan knows how to use its
neck; that is why it is beautiful.
The giraffe doesn't and is gro
tesque.
Features Of Gen+iIi+y
Two main features of gentility
are propriety and consideration
for others.
Dignity is beautiful to contem-
plate, but it needs to be employed
with skill.
Best thing for people who can't
afford to eat breakfast in bed is
that they don't want to.

SYNOPSIS

Jim Fielding, one of the lost generation"
who had left college in the depression and
is unable to find a job, arrives at Glen
dale to visit his friends the MacPhersons.
Mac had formerly been gardener at his late
uncle's estate and now works for T. H.
Vaughn of "Meadowbrook." Jim is tired
of being supported by his married sister
Kay. While he still can marry Lenore, an
attractive divorce who is in love with him
and have an easy life because of her wealth.
his mind rebels. Stopping at the village
drug store for a sandwich, he meets Dolly,
q pretty soda fountain girl. When he in.
quires about the Vaughns, she asks if he is
q friend of "Cecilys" She also entrusts
a message to Tommy, young son of the fam
lily and tells him how to reach the Vaughn S
estate.

business of handling a bamboo rod
that she was unaware of Jim's ap-
proach.
He walked more slowly, his
amused glance fixed on the intent
figure poised precariously over the
stream. She was ten or eleven, he
surmised, a thin little girl with thick
short hair the color of pulled mo-
lasses taffy. A grubby little girl.
''Hello!" he said. "Any luck?"
The child made a quick startled
movement and the law of gravity
completed the disaster. Her body
plunged forward. Two small bare
feet wavered, kicked frantically,
disappeared from view. Jim heard
no outcry-only a splash and then
an appalling silence. He reached
the rail of the bridge in two hasty
strides. She'd gone head-first. Per-
haps she was badly hurt! he
thought in a fash of alarm.
He looked down from the rail of
the bridge and was instantly re-
lieved. The youngster wasn't hurt.
She was, however, very angry in
deed. Her small pointed face was
crimson with rage. She sat in the
water and glared up at him through
dripping locks of taffy-colored hair.
''Now see what you did" she ex-
claimed.
'I'm sorry. Feel all right?" he
added. "You aren't hurt, are your"
She ignored his solicitous ques-
tons.
"You scared him away!" she said
furiously.
Scared who away"
''My fish. ! nearly had him."
"Then I'm more than sorry"
Jim's voice was appealing, contrite.
His expression indicated remorse
and an ardent desire to make
amends.
The grubby little girl was imper-
vious to cajolery.
Haven't you any better sense?"
she asked scornfully, ethan to yell
at somebody when they're fishing?"
She scrambled up from the bed of
the stream. 81 should think any,
body'd have more sense than that.
Even an idiot, should think" Her
glance veered from Jim to the brook
and her expression altered. She
stopped to pick up the bamboo rod.

She was frightened, Jim thought.
Her lips were trembling now.

ly. ''Here-let me see it."
"You go away and let me alonel"
Her round eyes blazed in her small
stricken face. otis all your fault!
1t wouldn't have broken if you
hadn't made me fall"
..'Oh, come now" Jim protested.
81 know what you'll dol" she went
on, scorn in her voice, hint of sobs
staunchly checked. you'll go tell
Cecily that I broke Daddy's fishing
rod. That's just exactly what you'll
do. You'll go tell Cecily and I'll get
the devil!"

81 couldn't. don't know Cecily.
Who is she?-your sister,"
He had made an impression at
last. The child looked up at him
curioussy, establishment in her eyes.
"You don't know Cecily?" she
asked. 1t was apparent that she
found it difficult to believe him.
''Word of honor" Jim's express
sion was grave. He sensed that this
was a matter of great importance.
81 thought" she gave it up.
For a moment she seemed to de-
iberate. Then, abruptly, she ex-
tended the bamboo rod. Here"

'I'l remember" he promised.
Her message to Tommy! Jim
followed the sandy young man to a
small coupe parked at the curbing.
Who was Tommy? he wondered.
He was in duty bound to deliver
the message. Perhaps the Mac
Phersons could help him. He folded
his long legs inside the car and
leaned through the open window to
wave Dolly a friendly farewell.

COUNTRYSIDE SCHOOL
GAINS IN ENROLMENT
Growth Attributed by Director to
Individual Care Given
Pupils.

The Countryside School operates as
a day and boarding school for chill
dren from nursery through the sixth
grade. The enrolment increased last
year necessitating the erection of a
large building for classes. This
building, at 9401 Georgia avenue. is
adjacent to a large wood which pro-
vides an opportunity for all the
classes to study and feed the birds
which winter here. The old building
is used to accommodate the boarding
children, the number being limited.
The school has continued to grow
this year. The director, Mrs. Lucille L.
Miller, attributes this steady growth
to the fact the school caters to the
individual needs of the children and
the parents: also because it provides
a happy and healthful environment,
giving these young children the ad-
vantages of the country in pony rid
ing, caring for pets, sled-riding and
many outdoor activities.
Enrolment is possible at any time
due to the individual attention given
the children.
Mrs. Miller, who has had IL years
experience in the Washington schools,
is assisted by a corps Of trained
teachers.

 An attack of gout may come on inSidiously, although more frequent ly the patient already has suffered with disorders of digestion, trouble with his appetite and other signs of illness, including extreme irritabil- ity.
 Occasionally he is disturbed by trouble with the circulation of the blood in his legs, although older people who suffer more frequently with gout may also have other troubles with the circulation.
 Nobody knows exactly what causes gout. It shows tendency to appear in certain families. It is generally believed that over-indul- gence in rich foods and drinks has tendency to stimulate the appear ance of the disease.
 Incidentally, during the war when most of Germany was on Starva- tion diet it is reported that cases of gout practically disappeared from the charity hospitals.
 
 Gout seldom appears in the very young, most of the cases affecting people between 30 and 50 years of age. Men are more likely to suffer with thi sdisease than are women. are exposed to the influence of It is reported that people who

Severe Diet Advised In Gout Cases;
 Heat Applications Reduce The Pain
T. M. Reg. U. s. Pat. on.

I lead poiSons such as plumbers and painters are more likely to suffer from gout than are others. Exposure to cold and an injury to a joint also may be associated occasionally with an attack of gout
 In treating this condition, it is customary to prescribe a severe diet with lessened amounts of protein and starchy foods. This diet must be followed for long time. Vegetables such as string beans, lettuce, carrots and cabbage are recommended frequently, but aspar- aguS, spinach, cauliflower, mush- roms and lentils are not considered suitable.
 The chief protein products to be used in the diet are milk, eggs and fish. It is customary also in attacks of gout to forbid the use of heavy liquors and wines, also to eliminate such meats as liver, kidney, brain and pancreaS.
 When the pains come on, the ap- plication of heat is helpful. It is als ohelpful if the affected parts are fixed in such way with sand bags, hot water bottles and other devices as to keep the bed clothes and other pressure away from the parts concerned.
 A product called colchicum has hepn recommended fOr many years in this condition but cannot be taken unless prescribed by the physician.

 This won the championship, a result due partly to Babin's mas terly play, but even more to the calling of penalty for the lead from the wrong hand, as declarer had set the stage for . tinesse in trumps against the queen, which he had reason to believe had te be with East.

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Bridge League In playing tournament bridge, it is not enough to bid and play the cards well. It is often just as im- portant to know the laws and how they apply to any given situation. In bridge, as in many other pursuits, a little learning is a dangerous thing.
 Today's hand is an example. It occurred in the recent Ohio State tournament at Cleveland, in which the Western Reserve team, of which Elmer P. Babin and Ollie Enrich are members. were run ming neck and neck with another team for the championship.
 Babin and Emrich's last board gave the latter an opportunity to display his usual optimism in bid ding, while Babin got chance for maSterly play, as well as the little lesson in law.
