good egg, or belle whom it's fun

But some short-sighted maids and
men really don't see their family at
all. To them dad is just a cash
register on which the mo sale" sign
pops up much too often. Mother is
good person to have in their cor
ner, but means little more to them
than woman of all work would
Junior is a brat who insists in spill
ing family secrets and playing EN-
gine" in the living room at the exact
moment when they are most anxious
for life and romance to run
smoothly.

IT you're a maid, do little home

the shopping, run the vacuum, and

There are plenty of opportunities
Tor a fellow to lend a hand. If
dad feels that the garage is the
best place for the supersix on Sat-
urday night, perhaps you can change
his mind by making the car your
special charge. Keep the body
washed and polished. Know enough
about the engine so that when dad
steps on the starter and only a
gargling sound is heard, you can
tell him what's wrong and save a
repair bill by playing mechanic.
Yards need tending. Windows
need washing. Snow invites shovel

rooms need cleaning If you work
for the good of the family, they'll
get the right idea-that you are a
fellow or girl with the unselish
interests and the capacity for re-
sponsibility of an adult.

March to the closet and hang up
your sweaters and hats. Run along,
Gladys. You'll lose your place in
line if you don't hurry"
my mother says that I'm not to
hang up my sweater. She says it
will get all dirty in the closet and
I'm to keep it in my desk with me" "
Miss Jennie looked at the mite
standing there by the tiny bench,
clasping pretty white sweater in
her arms. There was pride in every
line of the little body. Pride in
mothers wisdom and authority,
pride in the pretty sweater, pride in
her own right.
Miss Jenny nodded. Very we'll,
Marie. If mother said you were
to do that, you do it. But I am
afraid that the sweater will not be
taken as good care of as if you hung
it on its hanger in the wardrobe.
Sure you won't get it on the floor?"
Marie smiled at that idea. Her
lovely sweater on the floor? Not
she.
Louise. class busybody and gen.
eral supervisor, said, Look you have
the sleeve dragging already. Why
don't you hang it in the closet? Your
sweater isn't any better than any

on it. Teacher, she's going to mess
up her new sweater and her moth
er'll be mad as anything"
Never mind, Louise, Marie has
to do what her mother told her"
Sniff, sniff" went Louise She
had her opinion. But so had Marie
and the sweater was showed into
the tiny desk space and it fell out
every time Marie took out or put
in book, or a pencil, and had to
be showed back again. Miss Jennie
was troubled. Once she ventured
to say, would you like to hang it up,
Marie?"
NO" said Marie, emphatically
my mother told me not to-
At dismissal time the white
sweater looked sad enough. There
were specks on its whiteness, and
creases on it's front and across the
shoulders, and every crease was a
streak. The children groaned with
glee, well disguised, at the sight of
the sweater that was too precious
to hang beside theirs, and they made
no bones about what they thought,
especially Louise. "Your mother'll
give it to you when she gets you
home. Your sweater is all spoiled
There's even green paint on the
collar" Only the sharp eyes OF
Louise could discover such speck
but it was there, and the class
groaned in unison. Marie began to
cry.
There, never mind" said Miss
Jennie. "You did the very best you
could. Your mother will under
stand and won't scold me-"
mo she WON'T sobbed Marie. 81
only said she told me not to hang 1t
up because I wanted to keep it in
my desk and now it's all spoiled and
she'll kill me-"
Again Grade l roared in unison
This was true enjoyment. stop
that" said Miss Jennie. "I'll go home
with you, Marie, and explain. I am
sure mother will understand about
it." But even she had her doubts.
Grade has its peculiarities, its
own troubles, and the teacher has

BAKED BEANS.
Soak dried white beans overnight
to speed up baking. They may be
boiled close to the tender point if
necessary before being baked, but
overnight soaking is best. Drain,
add a pinch or two of soda and a
little more water and parboil a very
few minutes.
Seasoning must be to the taste.
These proportions may be used as
a pattern and varied as desired:
For cups uncooked beans use:
u pound salt pork
2 to tablespoons dark molasSes
to 2 tablespoons brown sugar
l tablespoon dry mustard
to 2 teaspoons salt
3 to 4 tablespoons catsup
An onion chopped fine and dis
tributed we'll is a fine addition, but
optional. Blend the seasoning well
into beans
Cut the salt pork in pieces Gre
serving nice slice for the top) and
add as the pot is being filled. Add
enough water to ease the baking
but not enough to swim" the beans,
since they have been soaked or pre-
cooked. Bake slowly and evenly four
to six hours or until thoroughly ten
der, adding little water from time
to time if necessary.
BROWN BREAD.
l cup rye meal.
l cup yellow corn meal.
l cup whole wheat flour.
"a tablespoon Soda
l teaspoon salt.
"a cup dark molasses.
2 cups sour milk.
Mix the dry ingredients and sift
them. Add the molasses and milk,
stirring until thoroughly blended.
Grease mold and fill not more than
two-thirds full. Cover tightly and
place mold on a rack in a kettle
Pour in boiling water to come half
way up the mold Cover kettle and
keep water at the boiling point dur
ing the steaming, which should take
about three and a half hours. Add
more water as needed. Take mold
from kettle, remove cover and set
in a slow oven for Is minutes to
dry off Turn out from mold and
cut with a string while hot. This
will make two loaves. One cup
raisins may be added if desired.

Dorothy Dix Says
Mother Should Teach Her Son
How to Be a Good Husband

when I think Of my mother-in
law said woman to me the other
day, Il do not know whether to re-
gard her as my greatest benefactor,
or look upon her as my dearest en-
emy. Sometimes I am down on my
knees before her for the good man
she gave me- Then sometimes
think she ought to go before a fir
ing squad for not teaching him the
technique of being good husband.
There is no excuse for her not
having done this, for every woman
knows the kind Of husband every
wife Graves and what things turn
marriage from being a chore into
being Paradise. And she also knows
that these things have more to do
with his manners than with his
morals.
"Why, then, knowing that Charlie
would some day marry. didn't she
teach him to make paying his wife
a daily compliment as much a part
of his ritual as brushing his teeth?
1t would set me up for the whole day
to be told that he still considered me
a lady love and not just useful
household convenience. would
spring with joy from my couch and
leap to the kitchen to get breakfast
for a man who would rave over my
coffee and praise the toast and eggs
and tell me that I was the greatest
wife ever. But it makes me feel like
a driven slave to have to do it for
husband who gobbles down his
food and never gives me a pat on
the head. or says. We'll done thou

further asked why is it that white
America is constantly criticizing

, living conditions, when they (White
America) force low standard living
conditions upon them. Why push
them into corners Of segregation
and later wonder why they are
there. From these sincere state
ments Of the Bishop q number OF
differences can be drawn, mainly
! that it would be wise for America
to observe its own set up, and do a
bit Of housecleaning among its own

such i profound aweness at another
