Milk
By MARY WARWICK

No longer need the modern
homemaker recall the delicious
cookies, cakes and biscuits her
mother used to make, only to
feel a pang of regret because
she does not have on hand the
sour cream to give her own
cookies, cakes and biscuits that
certain something that only
sour milk or cream can furnish.
The city dairies are meeting
this desire of homemakers by
scientifically pre- parlng the
Soured products for them, pro-
viding besides a perfectly uni
form acidity which makes their
use even more satisfactory than
1t was in their mothers day.

First Set
For Schoolgirl

All the manicure equipment
you want or need is neatly
packed in a smart plastic case,
as modern as a planitarium. It's
called the Observatory Nail Pol

girls it can't be surpassed. The
case is black and shiny, and
everything in it is an essential.

Life of
Fantasy

Under proper persuasion a
child may remember something
of all these stories, but he can
not possibly understand the
philosophy that inspired them.
If he appreciates them in any
measure, he lives a life of fan
tasy in the very years he should
be trained to honest thinking.
We do not pretend to be a
great educator, but in our ex-
perience we have met so many
people who are hopelessly in
volved in their dreams, we won
der if something cid not go
wrong with their early educa-
ton.
And rambling on We won
der why so many people take
the trouble to study all the ismS
in the world. Not one of them
knows the Constitution Of the
United States nor the protec-
ton it affords them.

Thoroughly
Charming

It's all quite charming to tell
the little ones imaginary stories
that we have found amusing to
ourselves, but is it quite fair to
youngsters we love and want to
develop?
We think those of us who
have INDUCED in this practice
are lot old foodle-doddies.
The education of a child
should be honestly directed.
Even in infancy babies get i'm
pressions from those around
them. 1t isn't fair to feed them
stories they cannot omprehend.
We older folks know that no
child ever really understood
Alice in Wonderland nor the
Kipling Jungle books.
We also must admit that no
little boy or girl of five or six
could understand the beauty
nor the point of the Hans Chris
tian Andersen tales.

Fairy Tales
Teach Children Facts
For Right Development
BY MARY DOUGHERTY

WE listened broadcast the other day in which
w highly cultured elocutionist telling little
boy about fairies.
She assed him that the fairies had built little cabi
net had shoes another boy who had shoe ha
the fairies had created all the paythings he had.

Cherish
Fables
Now, We have a particular
affection for children we
still cherish the fable of Santa
Claus and the Easter egg {.
but we do feel that fairy stories
should be kept for the elders
and not imposed on the childish
mind.
Little folks cannot recognize
the charm of fables and in our
opinion they are too likely to be
impressed with the idea that the
fairies will take them through
life.
What we would like to recon-
mend is that little boys and girls
be trained to create their own
amusement. Encourage them to
develop their own lives. Those
of us who have grown up know
very we'll that neither the
fairies nor the pixies had any
thing to do with what we ac-
compliShed.

BATTLE AFTER PEACE MADE

The lack of communication which had a hand in diplomacy at the end of the Revolution also played it's part in the beginning and end of the War of 1872 The British, hard pressed in their war with Napoleon, belatedly decided to end the hated orders in council" interfering with American commerce. The United States, unaware of this overseas change of heart, and urged on by other elements, declared war against England on June Is, 1912. Five days later the British, in turn unaware that they were at war with the U. S., repealed the orders in council" :"
 Every school boy is familiar with the famous battle in which Andrew Jackson defeated the Brit ish at New Orleans after the treaty of peace in the War of 1912 had been signed. Neither army knew of it,

Does Radio Help Dore Of
 Pedce Fly Faster?
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON Oct. 13. = When President Roosevelt suggested that fast communication f a cilita e d keeping the peace in Europe even though at the same time it speeded up the crisis, he revived chain of historical memories of times when lack of such fast communication played fancy pranks with this countrys affairs.
 Probably it never will be known just what influence the radio and fast travel had in the Czechosl- vakian affair. The same doubts continue even now over affairs of many years ago which were af- fected by communication distin- guished not by its speed but by it's slowness.
 A case arose right at the begin ming of the republic to show a sharp contrast with present times. Benjamin Franklin in 1773 nego- tiated with France a defensive al- liance to bolster the Revolution It was to be kept secret from Eng land But Franklin's trusted secre- tary, Dr. Edward Bancroft, was also a British spy and he promptly informed the British of the pro- posed alliance. England had al- ready decided to seek reconcilia- ton with the colonies by repeating all the "intolerable acts" Learn ing of the proposed alliance, the British sent a fast ship to America with the terms of reconciliation.
