Both spices still bear the names by
which they are referred to in the
Bible, and they have a highly impor-

When the Lord commanded Moses
to make the holy amounting oil, His
instructions were: Take thou also
unto thee principal spices Of pure
myrrh five hundred shekels and of
sweet cinnamon half so much, even
two hundred and fifty shekels and Of
cassia five hundred shekels"
1t was with this oil that Moses was
to anoint the tabernacle and the Ark
and the altar and to consecrate Aaron
and his sons to holy service.

Hats Good
For Hair
Bv ELSIE PIERCE.

4 S I have mentioned before, when it
comes to hair beauty We have
much to thank modern science for
it was much harder in grand
mothers and great-grandmother's day
to achieve truly crowning halo.
But there is one mistake that we
moderns make that our forebears
avoided. We wear our hats entirely
too much. Tight bands construct cir
culation, wearing a hat a good part
Of the day and never allowing sun and
wind through the hair robs the hair
Of elements vital to its health and
growth. The pores Of the scalp, like
the pores of the skin. act as organs
of elimination, throwing off body
poisons in the form Of perspiration.
Unhampered. this perspiration evap-
crates, but confined under a tight hat
it mixes with the natural oil thrown
off by the oil glands, becomes pasty
mass, often leads to dandruff and Itch
ing scalp.
In England 1t has long been the
vogue to remove ones hat in a taxi
and even in restaurant. More and
more women on the continent are
going hatless, appearing without hats
for formal and informal functions, for
tea and dinner.
In America the younger element
seems to have the courage to try it
now and then, but the conservative
dowager feels that she dare not remove
her hat lest she commit q breach of
etiquette.
The open crown hats Of last sum-
mer had a splendid point in their
favor-they permitted the scalp pores
to breathe freely. to throw of and
evaporate perspiration. Unfortunately.
however, the summer sun, with its
direct, burning rays, Is too harsh and
drying, and unless the hair is exposed
to the sun for only a very short in
terval the effects may be decidedly
harmful.
That's why I say, that's of to
spring" The spring suns rays are
mild and healthful Make open crown
hats your spring vogue, instead of
waiting for the mode until next sum-
mer. And do take your hat off more
often. If you do not feel at ease re-
moving it In public, at least do 60 with
out 1t when you are sitting in your
own back yard, or taking a hike In
the country (and do that frequently.

Laughing at
Failure Is
Cruelty
NoChild Can Bear
Being Ridiculed
For Mistakes.
By ANGELO PATRI.

L ATTY was doing well in school when
she had to leave it and go tn a
strange one in another town because
fathers work forced him to move.
The report card showed loss at the
end of the first month. Mother went
to see the teacher.
Katy seems afraid of her own
shadow" the teacher said. She gets
so fustered when she is called on that
she makes silly mistakes We all laugh
at her and try to make her spunk up,
but she doesn't seem to improve. She
must learn to adjust herself, that's
all"
But Katy did not learn to adjust
to the mocking laughter that greeted
her fumbling efforts. She got worse
and worse. The last straw fell when
she got 20 in spelling She. who never
got less than 80 in the old school.
Again mother went to see the teacher
and again the teacher said Katy must
learn to adjust herself.
But she can't stand being laughed
at by the class day after day. Surely
there is some way of encouraging the
child to believe in herself? If you
made the class stop laughing and al
lowed one of them to help her maybe
she could get along. She isn't stupid.
She did we'll before she came here
After mother left the teacher said,
You're a great baby. Your mother
has to come to school to make children
stop laughing at you. Everybody Is
going to laugh at you for such babyish
behavior
Katy began having pain in her
stomach. The doctor said, Keep her
out of school. Never mind If she
doesn't learn. She has to digest her
food, and if this goes on she will be
an invalid. Better be healthy fool
than chronic dyspeptic."
So the child stayed home: and by
and by an auntie came to visit. She
was a teacher, SO she took Katy in
hand and Katy did we'll. More than
well. She went up for her regents
with the class she had been in school
with and topped the list. There, you
see," said the teacher. "All she need
ed to do was adjust herself. Evidently
you stopped babying her and she went
to work"
No child, however sturdy, can ad-
just himself to cruelty. Laughing at a
child who fails. especially when that
child is a stranger and sensitive, Is
sheer cruelty. I do not agree that
hardening a child is the way to cure
him OF timidity. Nor does it make him
less sensitive to the affronts put upon
him. It works the other way.
I like Miss McNally's way much
better. When new pupil enters her
class she greets him as though he
were the royal presence itself. She
introduces him to one Of the finest
spirited children in the room, and
that child becomes the sponsor of the
stranger.
Every kindness is shown this new
conner until he learns his way about.
His books are found for him; he is
shown the way to shop and garden
and playground and assembly, wher-
ever his program leads him. He Is
helped with his assignments until he
needs no more help. To laugh at any
mistake he made would be unthink-
able. Under that routine nobody gets
a pain In his stomach!

homes Of the dead and dying during
plague epidemic. The four thieves
were caught and brought to trial but
obtained freedom in return for sur
rendering the secret Of their effica-
cious vinegar. 1t was thereafter used
in legitimate medicine, oil of CHINA
mon being recognized today as an
excellent antiseptic and germicide.
In the Great Britain Of a bygone
day cinnamon was highly popular in
| the spicing of wine and cordials, and
also in the pomanders or perfumed
pastes which formed part of the elab-
crate toilet Of every person of quality.
According to modern United States
standards, cinnamon and 'cassia are
analogous, but in the British Pharma-
/ cOpoeia cinnamon means only the
product of Ceylon. One Of the richest
of the spice islands, Ceylon was dis
covered when the Portuguese navi.
gated the Cape Of Good Hope and was
occupied mainly for the sake Of its
cinnamon bark, which the native
Kings were compelled to pay as tribute
TO their conquerors.
The regime of the Portuguese was
followed by that Of the Dutch, who
combined intensive cultivation Of Gin
namon bark with a novel scheme Of
price fixing. They did not plov under
the surplus crop, but had it burned,
in Holland, to keep up the price.
Following the capture of Ceylon by
the British in 1896, cinnamon re-
mained monopoly Of the East India
Co. till 1888.
CASS1A, like cinnamon, comes from
the bark of tree belonging to the
laurel family, and being a native Of
China. it is frequently called Chinese
cinnamon. 1t is mentioned in the
earliest herbals of China, written as
far back as 2700 BIC Although less
sweet Of flavor than the Ceylon prod
uct, it Is frequently used as a SUBJ
stitute.
Cassia buds, which are the un-
ripened fruit OF the tree, resemble
cloves and are used in spice where a
flavor Of cinnamon is desired. They
are very popular among the Germans,
who use them for f1avoring chocolates.
Cinnamon toast is one OF those
toothsome changes which the house.
wife or hostess can ring on the every
day menu, and she would do well 10 be
more familiar with the use Of this
spice in sprucing up leftover fried
cakes. Syrup or molasses should be
poured over each cake, which Is then
sprinkled with cinnamon, warmed in
the oven and comes out new confec-

For long time it has been difficult
to be really comfortable out of doors

that screens sometimes keep away

machine which is screwed into a light
socket, or lamp. You may read the
evening paper by its light out on the

instead of to you. will instantly perish

down in the garden to light the steps

New Summer Furniture for Porch and Garden Has Sleek
The Old Gardener Soys:

White flowers are In high favor
at the present time. That is
probably one Of the reasons the
new Shasta daisies have been
accepted with such wide acclaim.
Last year the English variety
called Esther Read proved itself
in many American gardens. 1t
is fully double and pure white,
showing no center. It grows 18
inches high and flowers continu-
ously throughout the summer.
Admiral Byrd, Shasta daisy Of
American origin, has two or
three rows Of twisted and curled
white petals about q rich golden
yellow center. The flowers are
borne on stiff stems two and a
half to three feet tall, and the
hardness Of the plants is un-
questioned. Like Esther Read,
1t blooms throughout the sum-
mer. They also have this in
common-they are excellent cut
flowers.

up with a coat of paint in those DAYS
and used by Aunt Sue and grand
mother on long summer afternoon.
Most of us wished to suffer in peace
and leave the porch to the afternoon
sun and the grats-but that's true
no longer. Living in the sunshine
these days is as much a part of the
schedule as orange juice for break
fast. We have copper screens that
don't even have to be painted, avn
1ngs and ventilated blinds to keep
out the heat; electric fans keep the
air moving on even the most sultry
days and best of all the new furni-
ture is beautifully designed with f1ow-
ing lines and sleek upholstery that
spell coolness.
Much has been said about the value
of sun, OF light clothing, of recrea-
ton and more hours in the garden.
Manufacturers have kept up with the
times by supplying the smartest. the
most useful and the most practical
equipment for outdoor living and
dining gagged to reach the purses of
all of us.

weather.
These vary in price: the heavy ones
built by hand with the same care that
went into the construction of your
best living room chairs. will last a
lifetime. while the light ones, which
are less expensive, are less durable.
Then there are the rustic pieces.
These are designed for under your
favorite tree on the lawn, or for break
fast under the llacs by the kitchen
door. Made Of cedar, with the silky
bark left on, or of everlasting hick-
ory with the knots all polished off,
this type is most practical and mex
pensive. Its greatest charm lies in
its fitting harmoniously into nat
ural background. 1t needs no care or
thought, except to be stored out of
the snow in the winter Also in this
group are some rolling chairs and
tables made OF tongue and groove"
pine sheathing. In very simple cot

with heavy hemp rope. and, for a GER

surface, which gives them the color of
maple or old pine.
