There are many men now living
who can recall the last of the vast
herds Bison vanished east of the
Mississippi about 1900, but the last
wild specimens were killed in the West
less than SO years ago. Sixty years
age, at Kearney, Nebr., there was
= factory for canning buffalo tongues.
Buffalo robes were the standard equip
ment for every one who owned horse
and buggy. Bales Of raw buffalo hides
sold at cents pound.
Prom the buffalo the Indians got
food, clothing and shelter, the hides
being used in making tepees. Hunted
with arrows and lances, the enormous
herds were never seriously affected
before the coming Of the white man.
Great lobo wolves followed the buffalo
q they moved up and down the
country and destroyed the weak and old
The white man made short work
Of this great natural endowment. AS
soon as slight profit was discovered
in the mass slaughter the leather
markets of the world were glutted
with the cheap hides from the Ameri-
can bison and every farmer who
wanted one could afford buffalo

There was little enough sport in
hu6alo hunting, and at times the

The American Bison Society has
made close study of the history of
the buffalo. 1t is estimated that in
1870 the surviving herds numbered
about 14000,00O. The last census of
bison, in 1929, gave 1885 animals at
large in the United States-living
within the protection of national parks
and United States Biological Survey
refugees. 1t is estimated there are
14969 in Canada.

PLEASE ask the teacher not to
give Harold so much homework
1t took him three hours to get 1t
done last night, and that is the usual
thing. He never gets done under two
hours. mostly three He is in school
every day for five hours, and it does
seem to me that the teacher ought to
get along without three hours home
work for a 9-year-old boy In the
third grade"
That sounded pretty bad. Three
hours homework for a child In the
third grade.
What lessons does he do in the
three hours?"
He has five new words and five
examples"
What kind of words?"
Ordinary words. like house, mouse,
fair, chair, dinner. That was his list
last night. They are his reading
words"
Il see. And are the examples big,
hard ones, problems?"
He says they are hard. Multiply
333 by Z. Multiple A by 7. Like
that"
Was that all he had to do?"
Just those two lessons. And review
four lines of poetry. He didn't have
time to do the poetry. had him say

the child disgusted."
What would you say il were to
tell you that every child in the class
does his homework in half an hour
and gets good mark next day? That
would be about right. Any school
child in normal health, mental and
physical good health. can do that
lesson inside the half-hour The work
the teacher assigned could easily have
been done in half an hour. If the
child had been able to do his work he
would have done it and well within
the time"
What is to be done? Take the child

Have him thoroughly examined for

seems, is important to the growth and
development of any child. Then have
him examined by a reputable psycholo-
gist. Next. and most important Of
all, get the experienced teachers

important because it is she who lives
with the boy day after day, hour by
hour, lesson by lesson. She is trained
to see and understand the workings

Pertaining
To Maids
Uniforms
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: % Who sup
plies q maids uniform? ca
What do you suggest for a general
houseworker alone, and how many
items? (3) If she supposed to keep
them laundered? I suppose this is
subject to the custom of the neighbor-
hood. I don't know this because I
don't ask questions about how other
people run their houses; that is why
I am writing direct to you. But
suppose she will find out what others
do and want to follow suit.
Answer-Q) A maids uniform, as
well as her aprons and collars and
cuffs, are furnished by her employer.
(2) She should wear for morning
work q colored cotton dress with
attached white collar and elbow sleeve
cuffs and fairly large plain white
apron with a bib. If you want her
to be perfectly turned out, she should
have at least three sets-one on, one
in the wash, and one extra, and
four aprons. For afternoon she wears
q dress of black or gray or eggplant
or whichever color would be becoming
to the coloring Of your dining room.
Afternoon dresses are usually made
of q silkish material, and should have
long sleeves with sheer collar, cuffs
and matching small sheer apron with
shoulder straps. She should, II pos
sible, have two, brand-neW one for
best, and a second one, perhaps not
so new or not so fine, for every day
or at least as a second dress to
change into while the best one Is
being cleaned. In any case, it Is
important that she have an alternate
Of one sort or another and at least
three sets OF afternoon collars and
cuffs and aprons. I am, of course,
considering complete supply, which
will permit her to be always perfectly
turned out. (3) This depends less
upon the custom of your neighbors
than upon how much time she has.
and how exacting you are about how
she looks. II her work is very light,
she can take time to press her dress
and apron every day, and wash her
own things, too. If the work IS
heavy, she has to apportion her time
accordingly.

Men With Brains and Strength

home they ignore two very important
things: One is that a worna n has
just as much right to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of Job as they have.
And, secondly, that mighty few
women work for the love of it. They
work because they need the money.
There Is nothing so alluring, exciting
and amusing about pounding a type
writer all day, or standing behind a
counter that would cause any sane
woman to leave a comfortable home
just for the diversion she got out OF it.
Nearly every woman would rather
have a husband, home and a baby
than a job When a girl goes to
work she doesn't look forward to
spending her whole life keeping books
or selling blouses or whatnot. It is
just makeshift to carry her through
the lean days until she gets a man
to bring home the bacon. When,
after marriage she continues to work,
1t is because her husband cannot
make enough to support them in COM
fort, or because she feels that she
can help him to get along faster
by adding her earning power to his.
1t Is all just part of new economic
era. and if men want to dominate

are better men than the women are

WHY Is 1t that people who visit sick
beds always spend the time
telling horror stories about people
they've known who have suffered ago
nies during illness?
Association of ideas, no doubt. But
that's the worst Of it. The patient
gets to associating ideas, too and her
temperature shoots right up. Or at
least we wouldn't blame it if it did
Now we really don't think the bur-
den of switching the subject should
be put upon the patient. A sick per-
son doesn't usually have the energy
to become the aggressor in a CONVEX
sation. So the sick room visitor will
simply have to take herself in hand.
We'd suggest list of conversational
topics, drawn up in advance She
could jot down such things as "Molly's
dog, Mrs. BIS dinner party, story
about the cook" Then when she
feels her mind wandering toward the
forbidden subject she will have some
thing to fall back on. And when she
uses up all Of her topics she can leave.
It's probably about time, anyhow

or tobasco, chill well by shaking with
ice. Serve in chilled glasses.
BEEF POT ROAST.
The pot roast shown here is cut
from the rump, although in choosing
pot roast this is not the only one
which might be selected The chuck
or a part of the round are equally
good for pot roasts. However, when
pot roast cut from the round is de-
sired, 1t is usually the triangular piece
known as the heel of the round. which
is left after round steaks are removed
A pot roast is cooked by braising.
Dredge the meat with -four and brown
it we'll on all sides in hot lard Sea-
son it with salt and pepper, add a
small amount of hot water, cover the
kettle tightly, and cook the pot roast
slowly until done More water may
be added from time to time as needed,
but only little should be added at a
time. Each time the liquid cooks
away the meat becomes broWner and
the gravy that much more delicious.
In cooking pot roast, or any kind
Of meat for that matter, it is very
important that the temperature be
low. A temperature as high as that
of boiling for the long time that a
pot roast is cooked tends to make
meat less tender, while a simmering
temperature has the rendering effect
desired. At a temperature below
boiling, a pot roast weighing four or
five pounds requires approximately
three hours for cooking
tration were cooked separately, al
though these and the carrots also
may be cooked in the kettle with the
pot roast if desired. These are added
just long enough before serving that
they will be done, and, of course, 1t
is necessary to add more liquid If the
noodles are cooked in the kettle with
the meat.
The liquid in which the pot roast
is cooked makes a delicious gravy.
1t is thickened with -four which has
been smoothed in cold water and
served with the beef and noodles,
but not over them.

EAR MISS DIX am a

~ EAR MISS DIX am bus1-
ness woman and, of course,
am thrown with many men
- in my work One of their
favorite topics Of lamentation is the
pitifui state OF the world since
women got the vote According to
them, men are being deprived of all
their economic, political and social
rights because women are appropriate
ing jobs, Offices, salaries and the
mastery of the home. 1t seems to me,
as middle-aged woman who would
be glad to surrender job and her inde-
pendence for a home, husband a
family, that if the conditions of wom-
ans independence are so menacing to
the world men ought TO do something
about it instead 81 merely grabbing.
If women have pushed themselves up
to plane of equality with men, why
don't men push themselves still higher
to a plane Of superiority? If men
object to married women holding jobs,
why don't they come to an UNDER
standing before marriage that their
wives are not to combine homemaking
with wage-earning? I believe that
most women, for all their talk of equal
ity, would like to feel that men are
their superiors in wisdom, in strength
and in high-mindedness So if men
are sincere in their regret for their
lost position as lords and masters of
the universe, the remedy is at hand.
They have only to be supermen.
A WAGE-EARNER
Answer: Right you are, sister. May
be it is traditional, maybe it is because
God made 'em that way, but it is true
that women want to look up to men
and it is blighting disappointment
to them when men won't let them do
it. Every woman wants to put her
own man on pedestal and burn in
cense at his feet, and when her little
tin god tumbles off his perch and she
sees that he is nothing but a fake
something that she has built up in her
own imagination-it breaks her heart
and fills her with shame for him, and
for herself that she has loved so Door
a thing.
or COURSE. when men blame
women for everything that is
wrong in this upset old world. it is
merely an alibi for their own failures.
For men are still running the Govern
ment and industry and women have
very small finger in the pie. We have
no woman President No woman at
the head of the steel trust, or any
automobile industry. No woman fin
anciers running big banks. You
don't hear the go-getters complaining
about the competition Of women. Joe
Louis isn't worrying over any woman
challenging him for the championship.
The men who have the brains and
strength are still superior to women.
In family when the wife rules the
roost 1t is because she has more sense
and initiative than her husband.
