CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL IN
EIGHTH DISTRICT

We need a consolidated school IN
the Eighth district because the
schools we now have are out of date
The rural schools of today are mostly
crowded and the equipment is made
quate.
The average pupil entering Higi
School today from rural schools he's
little or no knowledge of Reference
work. Why? Because they have
not a library for each rural school.
But in a graded school there is II
brary with reference books desired
This will also give the pupil a wider
range of vision, greater chance t.
prepare himself for the future.
When they enter High School and are
given outside reference work 1t will
not be a new thing to them. They
will feel at home and start off like
the other entries, not lacking in pre-
vious experience.
Then, there is the advantage of the
grades being divided, with one or two
grades in one room with one teacher.
This way each Individual would re-
ceive more help from the teache"
| han when each teacher has seven
grades crowded into one short day.
The small children will be able to do
| better work They will not be dis
tur bed by the recitation of the larger
pupils, but will have room to them
| ,elves where the environment will b
suitable to them.
The larger students will also have
quiet while they arr trying to do
heir work, rather than being dis
1urbed by the smaller ones. Alst'
here is the problem of the desks,
size fitting the pupil who must use
hem. Often the larger boys can
scarcely get their knees under the
desk, and in some cases the young
,ters have to sit in a desk too high
for writing and with their feet
4angling.
The building would be of modern
Iesign, and sanitation of the schools
would be greatly improved. The
light would be adequate for reading
On dark, cloudy days without danger
If eye-strain. The heating of the
building with modern steam would
eliminate ashes and dust from the
school room, as well as lessen the
LANCER of fire. The temperature Of
he room would be more uniform,
with the proper ventilation without
drafts.
Last, but not least, comes recrea-
lion. The average rural school OF
his district does not have sufficient
ground for recreational activities, t
say nothing of equipment. If W.
nad more playground and better
equipment there would be less use of
he truant officer. The school would
nave something to offer besides books
and four square walls. Recreation
not only developes strong and heal
thy bodies and minds but will go a
long way in teaching the pupil fair
play and honor; what it means to
win and lose, and to recognize the
rights of others. In unity there is
strength knowledge is power!

~ N FROSTY Fall mornings, and
for the bAlmy days Of Indian
Summer-this new silhouette
is the one which you'll most
enjoy. 1t is the most popular Of the
new Fall fashions and you can be the
first in your group to wear it-make
it yourself in wool. The new sheer
woods for immediate wear take smartly
to the crisp, firm lines OF this design.
Note the manner in which the girdle
lifts the bodice-the shirtlike closing
and the cleverly placed pockets. That
slanting armhole is new. too, and to
emphasize it, the sleeves are darted
into it to give square look to the
shoulder. You'll adore this dress and
you'll want it later in the year in
heavy satin.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1357-B is
designed for sizes II, IA, Is, 18, 20 and
40. Corresponding bust measurements
80, 80, "a, SO, SO and 40. Size IA (32)

a ure and pain! The thought of
stubborn arithmetic problems, Latin
sentences with no sense" to them
at all, and history dates which pop
out Of the mind at the most en-
barrassing moments, is enough to
make the hardest student vince
But perhaps If we were to suggest
to the girls who will be the victims
of all this, that the opening of school
necessitates the purchase OF a new
Winter wardrobe, large-sized glim-
mer of hope would appear on the
horizon.
The clothes designers have been
busy during the past few months,
and have come out with many new
ideas. The chief Of these is this:
The proud tartans which have graced
the mighty clans OF Scotland for
hundreds Of years have come into their
own again. The authentic family
plaids Of the McDonalds, the Lauries,
the MacFarlanes, and the MacDuffs
will be shown in dresses for all ages,
from to IT, Little boys can also
strut the bright insignia of ancient
clans, for they come in shorts and
pants as well. Cunning rain coats

can be bought to brighten up the
gloomiest days.

and father are either q shining ex-
ample or an awful warning to their
sons and daughters.
Nearly always 4 girl treats her hus-
band as her mother treated her father.
II mother was a good housekeeper and
a frugal manager; if she petted and
made much Of father and did every
thing possible to help him and make
him happy. it is q safe bet that
daughter will make the same sort Of
wife that mother did.
IF MOTHER regarded father merely
as meal ticket; If she WAS whin-
ing and complaining and extravagant,
also think that husbands are only USE
full as bill payers.
If man treats his wife with tender
ness and consideration and generosity,
so will his sons treat their wives in
the great ma jority of cases, just as the
son is apt to follow the example Of the
ldUIlCl WIN lAdo lIlcOC q OOOl uldt VI lllS
wife.
But there are exceptions to this rule
of like mother like daughter, like father
like son. One of the most peaceful
homes I was ever in belonged to a
woman who had been reared in q house
OF strife, and in her revulsion from 1t
would not permit even an argument in
hers. I have known girls who were 70
sorry for their henpecked fathers they
spoiled their own husbands to death.
And men who had pitied their own
mothers hard lots so much that they
treated their wives like queens.

mothers knees We never forget. They

Simple But "
Effective
Exercises
Throw Deck of Cards
on Floor, Then Pick
Them All Up.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE TRICK must be good one for
all Hollywood is doing it-and yet
1t isn't a new trick by any means. In
fact, remember mentioning 1t on. the
air during my first broadcasts which
was way back when the radio was
very young.
And now it's one OF the cinema COL
onys favorites. 1t isn't done with
mirrors; it's done with cards, the whole
deck Of So. Mary Carlisle says it's
the most marvellous way Of keeping
the figure trim and the tummy fiat.
| Every morning when you get out OF
bed and cast your eye toward your
breakfast tray, restrain yourself and
pick up pack of cards. Stand at one
end Of the room and throw the pack
upward, outward, any way you feel like
with complete abandon. Then get
busy and pick them all up. The trick
Is one by one bend and upward
stretch, trying to keep the knees rigid.
| According the Miss Carlisle if you do
that every single morning you can
forget about all other and less simple
forms of daily exercise Itll surprise
you to know how much So cards can
do for the right muscles.
May Be Done With Matches,
A more ambitious star is trying It
with box Of matches. which means
bending down many times So. Right
here want TO add that if you haven't
exercised recently try the card deal
first and limit yourself to honor tricks
only-gradually adding until you're
down to deuces.
Table tennis and badminton become
| increasingly popular. And the whole
trick consists in getting in the good
stretch as you bend when you stop to
pick up the table tennis ball or bad
minton shuttle cock
OF course, the stars have their in
door gymnasums and outdoor sports
but it isn't always the intricate appa-
ratus or elaborate court or pool that
does the most good. Very often it's
simple something like that card trick
that does the longest stretch toward
beauty-and goodness knows it's with
in the reach of all First rainy day
we have, when you're bemoaning the
fact that you can't get your outdoor
routine in, try getting your bending
down done the Hollywood way.

A S REGARDS housekeeping on the

As REGARDS housekeeping on the
road, trailer families appear to
be divided into two categories; those
who cook in transit and those who
habitually patronize hotels and cafe
terias en- route to points at which they
plan to establish camp for periods Of
several days to several months. Ex-
ponents Of both methods advance good
arguments.
Those who eat at hotels and cafe
terias on the road point out that this
habit saves time and bother. They
dislike making stops to market and
then subsequently stopping to eat and
wash dishes. Rolling up to an eating
place while on the road for a meal
keeps railer-housekeeping from be-
coming chore and makes trailer
travel q vacation for mother as well
as the children
For others eating gypsy-style in the
shade Of roadside tree or by rushing
woodside stream has an irresistible
appeal Add to this the Joy of buying
fresh vegetables and fruit from
farmers stall and serving it garden
fresh. One inland family reported
orgies Of flsh-frying as they rolled
along the Atlantic coast, while another
family spoke feelingly Of the luscious
strawberries they had encountered in
Canada during berry season. Although
the limited cooking facilities in the
ordinary trailer tend to restrain even
creative artists in the culinary line
from attempting excessively fancy
menus, the variety of foodstufis, Of
fered in their f1eeting prime by the
various localities visited, constitutes
challenge to the cook.
WHEN located at camp during the
Summer, trailer family ordi-
narily repairs outdoors to the camp
chairs as soon as meals have been
cooked and eaten and dishes washed
For this reason the choice Of suitable
parking site is delicate one. A shade
tree is great comfort. Spying one,
a newly arrived trailer party does not
loiter to buy cigarettes in the camp
commissary, but snatches the tree
before any other trailer can grab it.
After period Of resting, the typical
trailer party usually sallies forth from
their base camp in their car, sans
trailer, to 0lore the surrounding
terrain. From Washington they
usually go to Mount Vernon and to
Annapolis. in addition to the custo-
mary expeditions through the public
buildings, galleries and museums
which make Washington a tourist
mecca.
In Winter trailer families spend
more time inside their tiny homes,
which are usually well insulated to
| keep out the cold. Small heating
| stoves which devour paper for fuel
suffice to make the rolling houses snug
and warm. According to the trailer
tribe, believe it or not, Sunday paper
supplies practically enough fuel to
! keep their home heated all day!

puffed and the Peter Pan collar OF
pique WAS edged with lace. The
tartan Of the dress was called Hunt
ing Brodie," an intriguing and youth
full combination Of blue, yellow, green
and white on a dominating red back

Another plaid dress which you will
find sketched is for the girl Of Junior
high school age. One Of the few of
wool that is now in the stores, it, too,
is simply made with an attractive
pique collar and cuffs, and is finished
With small black bow at the neck
and black patent leather belt. Skirt
fullness is lent by comfortable sized
pleats down each side front. The
plaid used for this dress is Of a
larger design than that used for the
younger child, with blues, greens.
yellows and white again tastefully
mingled on a red base.
For those who prefer their dresses
Of solid colors, browns, forest green,
tile and new shade, English blue,
will be the most important. This
English blue, soft shade with 4
distinct grayish tone to it, we noted in
the particularly attractive sketched
wool dress for the miss Of high school
age. Its chief interest lies in its
smart short-sleeved bolero, which can
be either buttoned up to small pique
collar Of the dress or left casually
open. Beautifully tailored, this frock
would be suitable for any but the
most dressy occasions, as well as
for the daily school grind, and would
insure usefulness far into the Spring
months.
The fashion of copying the clothes
Of the youthful movie stars still con-
tinues. One of the newest juvenile
dresses has a nautical air, which Is
going to be so good this Fall that
We sketched it for you to see. In
navy cotton, it Is trimmed with
narrow bands Of white braid on the
sleeves and collar, and on . set-in
square in the center OF the waist.
A tiny dickey filling in the V-shaped
neck sports of white anchor, and from
beneath the collar hang two delectable
white worsted pompoms. Since the
frock comes in the large size range
Of 2-12, it can be used for sister COM
binations. Other frocks have match
ing suits for little boys.
Another young actress who has won
her way into the hearts of her audi
ence is having frocks named for her
and achieving tremendous popularity
for girls of the teen age. One Of the
most attractive in the collection now
being shown Is OF q turquoise cotton
with q narrow dark red piping down
each side front. Bows of the same
red trim the neck with its severe
little Peter Pan collar and the belt
which Is also paneled with red. Fancy
wooden buttons down the front COM
plete the girlish frock. These dresses
can be obtained in sizes 1916 and the
model described above comes in blue
and brick dust aS well.
A bit of news which we have just
heard will please many girls who have
had trouble being fitted. One Wash
ington store Is featuring wide size
ranges which include clothes for the
chubby girls who previously found II
so dif1cult to find clothes In her size
Now, in dresses, coats and underwear
she will be able to find clothes a.
attractive as those made to At her
simmer sisters.

Dorothy Dix Says
Parents Set Pattern for the Married Life
Their Children Will Lead.

TO THOSE OF us who believe
that the good Of the race and
the welfare OF our country de-
- pend upon permanent mar
riages and better and more stable
homes, 1t Is heartening to learn that
30 many Of our leading colleges are
establishing courses in matrimony,
where the young will be taught the
art and science of picking out their
mates and living in harmony with
them.
This is = long step in the right
direction In educational progress. For
it is far more important that husbands
and wives should speak the same
language than that they should be
conversant with Latin and Greek.
What the young married man needs
is not a degree in higher mathematics,
but how to juggle dimes so they will
cover 4 budget. And no accomplish
ment a girl can have will be so valu-
able as skill in rubbing her nervous
and irritable spouse's fur the right
way.
Still and all, while deeply appreci-
ating the matrimonial educational ad-
vantages offered by these institutions
that propose to turn out q superior
grade Of M. AS and P. AS, 1t does
strike ones funny bone that girls and
boys have to go to school to learn
about marriage, since every one Of
them is the result Of marriage, and
that from the hour Of their births
they have lived in homes that were
laboratories In which every possible
experiment Of marriage was being
worked out.
X X
IN REALITY there isn't q child 5
years old who doesn't know what
goes to make a marriage q success
or failure. It knows that those mar
riages are happy in which the hus-
band and wife are congenial, think
alike and enjoy doing the same
things, and that where they show
each other kindness, consideration
and affection there are peace and
harmony In the household.
The child knows almost in it,
cradle that a marriage Is 4 failure
If the husband and wife are antag.
onistic to each other; If they argue
and quarrel over everything and II
they say cruel and bitter things to
each other. Furthermore, by the
time children are adolescent they
have sat in judgment on their warrine
parents. They know which one Is te
blame, and wonder why father doesn'
pay mother few compliments whe1
she would eat out OF his hand II he
did, and why mother can't lay of o
