She will broil them slowly, at

Designed
Especially
For Young

More than ever this year the
children of the family are going
to send and receive their own
Christmas cards, in accord with
the newest principles of child
training, and at the same time
pleasing the youngsters no end.
A variety of designs convey ap-
propriate greetings to Mother
and Father, Grandparents,
Aunts and Uncles, and even the
Sunday school teacher is not
forgotten. The kiddies' own
Christmas mail will be equally
varied.

elephant who says:

Some of the figures are prac-

arms and legs. Santa moves his
head and rolls his eyes. The
wheels of the ToytoWn Express
turn merrily. Plump bear cubs
roll their eyes and wag their
tails, while elephants nod in

recipients for some time to come
by connecting dots to form pic

Others are booklets of Yuletime

with a black jersey blouse, and
for that dash of French chic,
she wound strands of big pearls
about her throat.

as surgeons opened swollen

gave outside germs a chance

They SerUe
A Purpose

Remember, tonsils and ade-
noids weren't given us just to
be removed. They have a pur-
pose to serve. They aren't, as
so many think, growths in the
throat; they are lymphoid tissue
that is supposed to aid in fight
ing infection. 1t is only when
they themselves get diseased
that they cause us any trouble.
When these glands swell it
means that they are fighting
disease; they are busy stopping
infection. Very often the other
glands of the neck take up this
work, too. If they become a
nest of infection they break
down, causing horrible running
sores. In the older days this
was very common; older read
ers will no doubt recall people
of their acquaintance who have
been so diSfigured.

When they contract colds we

see your doctor at once. He is

THEY BOTH HEADED THE WRONG
 WAY. BUT WON FAME

At o'clock this morning, 446 years ago. or on october l2 1492 sailor by the name of Rodrigo de Triana aboard the Nina of the sailing boats with which Christopher Columbus was trying to find a new route to India. sighted land at what proved to be San Salvador or Waiting Island in the West lndles Today 446 years later 35 states and one Territory Puerto Rico set aside this day as legal holiday paying tribute to the man who discovered the West Indies and who has gone down in history as the man who discovered America.
 Teday great deal is made of young man by inc name of Mr. Douglas Corrigan, who started out to blaze an air trail to California and wound up in Ireland 10 win undying fame as the champion wrong Wy" navigator.
 wh due tribute to MT Corrigan for his remark able Iee he wasn't the first wrong way" navigator History reveals that Christopher Columbus beat him fc he idea by 456 years Columbus attempting ao find a,new route to India, which lay to the east SO he sailed west Ccrigan's announced destination was west so he flew east It is equally significant that both had kept going in the directions in which they started they beth would have attained their goals But both being men apparently born to fame glcry came to them enroute.
 There is much of the same quality to be found in Columbus and eur modern Corrigan. The great dis coverer was up against unsumountable difficulties fer long time Time after time his proposal for quitting fleet turned down. As late as l49l the year before he made his famous voyage hstoriaS relate that Columbus was in despair. He received yet another turn down from the Spanish Court. But lEc 1lr MT. Corrgan, he determined chap and eiCea 10 go to try his luck Historians cay he was on h.e way when intercepted by mes senger to return to Spain where the Queen had fm- ally decided to give him backing for the expedition.
 What a striking likeness in persistence. Corrigan had pleaded begged and implored the Department of Commerce to give him permit to fly overseas and had been thoroughly and completely turned down. But even as Columbus our modern hero didn't give up his quest He simply flew to Ireland without permission.
 Of course he had an airplane of sorts. It is very probable that Columbus would have started out his expedition much the same way if he had had ship e two at his command It is of such stuff that heroes are made.
 Columbus fame. of course, lives on and Corrigan probably will be forgotten due to the difference in the nature of their expeditions But in paying tribute to the great dscoYerer today, we have a mild sus- pici2n that had it been Corrigan on the poop deck of the Santa Maria Columbus flagship and Columbus at the stick of the plane in which Corrigan flew the Atlantic the result would have been much the same Both had what it takes-tenacty of purpose.
