FoLLewEp IAE kAsEpp As HEAp OF GERMANY
BY 1, S. KLEIN

WHEN Kaiser Wilhelm II was
 " forced to retire from Ger many in 1913, after the World War, his abhorred domestic ene- mics, the Socialists, came into power. Elected to succeed the exiled kaiser, this time as presi- dent of Germany, was an humble harness maker, son of a tailor Friedrich Ebert.
 From early youth, Ebert had been a Socialist. Born in Heidel- berg, under the wing of aristo. cratic scholarship, young Ebert quickly took the opposing tack. He went to Bremen and stumped for the cause of socialism at night, while he piled his trade as a saddler by day. He became member of the Bremen city coun. ell in 1900, at the age of 29, and 12 years later was elected to the Reichstag
 During the World War, how- ever, he supported the German campaign, while the more radical Socialists, under Liebknecht, rep- rimanded him for 1t. But, in test

Advantage
Of Wearing
S a n d a | S
Foot Comfort Helps
to Keep Lines Out
of the Face.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

TOELESS sandals. free feet, un-
lined faces. In Just that Sc
quence you have happy circle, a
fine state Of affairs. Which is just
what fashion is achieving these days
The other day overheard woman
say: "You can't tell which are the
bedroom slippers and which the walk
ing shoes~these dayss"----,.-------.-~-.------
I couldn't help thinking: When you
can combine the comfort and freedom
Of bedroom slippers and the style
value Of sandals, you're achieving an
ideal set-up.
Personally, don't think that for
out-andeeQt walking tia lheelless, stos-
less sar1h1 Is the proper support. The
typical. sturdy. walking shoe seems
more sensible for the purpose.
But, for general wear the peekaboo
sandal has its advantages It's q
splendid style for Spring and Summer
flrst-because it permits the feet to get
some measure of ventilation and the
hot. sticky. cramped, shut-in feeling
is thus avoided.
Second-it is making women more
foot conscious which is step in the
right direction.
Third-the vogue encourages the
pedicure. And when a woman attends
her toes week after week, when she
Is reminded Of her feet, from a beauty
standpoint she soon looks to their
health. After all, the average woman
today is sensible enough to realize
that feet are literally the foundation Of
bodily health and beauty.
A shoe stylst told me recently
that in the past 10 years the average
size of women's shoes has increased
by size to size and a half Greater
comfort in women's clothing has much
to do with this increase. The feet Of
the present generation have grown
larger because modern women were
better fitted as children and as result
their feet have developed more natur-

mothers and grandmother. In
spite of the increase In size the differ
ence is not really perceptible, because
shoes are 50 cleverly styled that they
look small and dainty. In purchasing
shoes today women very wisely worry
about whether the shoe fits, not about
the size.
You can do much for foot beauty
at home. While taking the warm tub
bath scrub feet and toes with . good,
fairly stiff nail brush using plenty Of
soapy water. Work around the cuticle
Of the toes with a cotton tipped
orangewood stick.

Modern Education Does Not Teach

that taught me proper place in the
scheme of things that has stood me in
good stead all of my life.
II often wonder how my grandchil-
dren are going to stand the shock of
finding out that they are not the
transcendant geniuses that their par

that the world IS going to give them
bumps, instead of the glad hand when
they 60 up against it.
Il was taught responsibility by be-
ing given duties that I had to per-
form. I learned to stand on my own
feet early because nobody ever
thought of holding my hand I
learned initiative because I had to
devise my own games and amuse-
ments, for children had few toys
then. And I learned courage and en-
durance by being ridiculed. for no.

Milk and cream bottles should be
kept covered, because milk Is by
nature too hospitable to passing odors
and bacteria for its own good. Desserts
made of milk or cream, and creamed
vegetable and meat dishes require the
same treatment as the milk itself. All
should be in the refrigerator's coolest
area. and all should be covered. But
ter should be kept in its oiled paper
covering inside its box-or better yet
In a covered butter dish. All fats
should, OF course, be kept covered be-
cause Of their way Of taking up odors.
Lard and oils, however, needn't be in
an especially cold place.
n
"1N SOME ice refrigerators you can
find butter and milk bottles nesting
against the block of ice-a practice
frovned upon both by engineers and
bv home economists, the engineers,
because the presence Of any food in
with the ice interferes with the free
circulation OF air along all sides OF
the ice, and may raise the temperature
of the cabinet: the home economists,
for this same reason and also because
it puts butter, the very product that
is most easily contaminated by doors,
in the most odorous spot. You see as
the warmer air currents return to the
| block of ice they carry with them
load of odors from the various foods
These collect in the film Of melting ice
and run down the drain and are car
ried away. True. the milk bottle may
be we'll capped and the butter in a
covered dish so as not to take up
odors. But too many times house.

paper right on the ice cake, where it Is

In the case Of the mechanical re-
frigerator, odors collect in the frost
on the evaporator. so that when the
machine Is defrosted they are carried
along with the water into the de-
frosting pan.
Occasionally q thrifty housewife
wraps the ice for her refrigerator in
newspapers. If all she wants is to have
ice to put into drinks, this is legitimate.
But II her wish is to keep food in the
cabinet in good condition she is work.

frigerator you can't get cool cabinet

take it for granted, but it is always
Wisest to inquire about this feature.
Some fabrics are pre-shrunk. but
this does not mean that there will not
be a further slight shrinkage: SAN
forized-shrunk means a complete job
Of shrinking with no fear of losing
an inch at the hemllne unexpectedly
after the first tubing
Then there is the process called
~Belmanizing," which insures lovely
permanent starchless finishes to voile
and muslin so that they come out of
the laundry with exactly their original
texture quality. Linens have been
rendered crease resisting, If not alb
solutely crush proof, with "vitaliz-
ing" process, making them more useful
for committing to town and weekend
travelling. water repellency is still an
other feature that enters into some
of the sport clothes, and is used on
sail cloth, for instance. Then there
Is "air conditioning" which removes
the fuzzy lint from cottons, allowing
the air to pass through more easily.
This process is used extensively in
cotton nightgowns and pajamas.

easily transferred to wrapped ice.
Also vagrant odors cannot then be
readily absorbed.
Meats require as much care as does
milk. Before they are put into the
refrigerator the wrapping paper should
be removed, as a possible source Of
contamination in the cabinet Then,
too, it absorbs meat juices, and sticks
SO tightly to the meat surface that air
cannot get at il. so that the meat will
spoil more quickly.
"ERESH meat should never be tightly
covered in storage. Home econo-
mists advise putting it onto a shallow
dish and setting 1t into the refriger-
ator, with at most no more than a
piece Of oiled paper laid on top not
wrapped around it. The cut surface OF
fresh meat is already so moist that it
is particularly susceptible to con-
tamination. A little drying out doesn't
especially affect palatability and does
slow up spoilage.
"A good rule is to buy meat as near
as possible to the time it is TO be pre-
pared. There may be as much as 6 per
cent loss in meat weight in some types
of home refrigerators in "a hours. It
depends upon the refrigerator you
have, as well as upon the size of the
meat piece, the extent of the cut sur
face exposed and the amount of ia.
on it.
With chopped or ground meats,
like hamburger and fresh sausage, good
refrigeration is doubly important. Such
meats are usually made from small
pieces, and as such have had greater
chances of contamination in the meat
market. And the very act of grinding
a meat means increased possibility OF
contamination. Grinding releases meat
juices 1t distributes whatever bac-
terra may be present. 1t gives bacteria
larger surface to grow upon. Hence
such meats should be cooked soon.
"0NCE meat has been cooked 1t is
more easily stored. 1t, too. must
be kept cold and used soon but it NAV
be covered TO prevent crying out. II
you have leftover meat pieces and
plan to dice or grind them for dinner
the next day. put them into covered
dish and cut or grind them shortly
before they are needed. If the ground
or diced meat is not to be reheated
this is especially important. Diced and
ground meats spoil more quickly than
do large sections of meat.
Cured meat won't spoil easily. but
the fat in it can get rancid and it can
become medium for growth Of molds.
Bscon gets soft and fabby and de-
velops an undesirable favor and odor II
it is kept in too warm place. 1t may
even become moldy. Bacon mold, how
ever, Is not toxic, so that it can be
scraped off and the bacon used. Sliced
bacon deteriorates in palatability If it
is kept too long in the ordinary re-
frigerator.
In arranging food containers avoid
| having them SO close together that air
can't circulate between them. A shelf

tainers can block the passage Of cold

Il day, "as that I was born
and reared before parents took their
children as seriously as they do now.
In my day people regarded babies as
the rift Of God or the act Of Nature.
They fed and clothed them. kissed
them when they were good and
spanked them when they were bad.
And that was all there was to 1t.
Nobody had discovered then that
a child was a problem; dreamed that
Mary needed to be psychoanalyzed;
that Tommy had complexes; that it
was dangerous for mother to kiss little
Johnny, or that spinach was the source
of all virtue. We youngsters Just
tumbled up with a lot of brothers and
sisters who taught us to take 1t and
like it and who beat a respect for
other peoples right into us with their
fists. Our parents didn't worry them
selves sick hunting for hidden motives
in everything we did. They just set 1t
down to our being boys and girls and
made that way.
"Now my daughter and her husband
fairly make martyrs Of themselves to
give their children what they call
advantages They deny themselves
things they want and need in order to
send their children to schools where
everything Is made interesting and
where predigested knowledge is poked
down their unsuspecting little throat
in such sugar coated pills that they
never know they are taking it. My
daughter Is 50 afraid she Is not doing
her duty that she does all Of her
children's thinking for them, watches
over them and guards them so inces-
sanity that the poor little tikes never
have a chance to stand on their own
feet, or develop any sense OF RESPONSE
bility or initiative.
1T makes me wonder II the ad-
vantages of modern education haven't
q good many strings to them. I look
at the long rows Of automobiles drawn
up before every school waiting to
take home children who don't live
half dozen blocks away. and I think
of the 2 miles each way I walked
twice q day to the little red school
house Nobody there tried to make
going to school picnic. 1t was work.
Nobody tried to make getting an edu-
cation easy for US. We were given
hard lessons and made to learn them

RIGHTS OF WAYS
FOR RIVER JOB
ARE APPROVED
All Obstacles For Deepening PO-
cOmOke Channel At Its
Mouth, Removed

Congressman T. Alan Goldsborough
was today advised that the Chief of
Engineers has approved the agree
ments with reference to rights of way
and releases for oyster beds in POGO
moke Sound in regard to the POGO
moke River (Muds) project.
These agreements will be forward
ed to the District Engineer and work
will be advertised and gotten under
way as soon as practicable.
Congressman Goldsborough secured
legislation by Congress in one Rivers
and Harbors Bill, providing for the
preliminary examination and survey
of the Pocomoke River Muds, and sub
sequently in the Rivers and Harbors
Act of 1885 the adoption OF the pro-
ject, authorizing $4,000 appropria-
ton for dredging. This action eli
NAKED a long fight for such an i'm
provement.
Army engineers, pointing out the
Pocomoke River channel from Snow
Hill to the "Muds" as one of the deep
est on the Eastern Shore, termed the
project zone of the most valuable in
Maryland, with the exception of the
Baltimore Harbor and channels"
The plans call for the dredging of
a channel 300 feet wide and six feet
deep at the mouth of the river.
