 Moving away is one answer. However, this takes a lot for granted. The family cannot move when it is necessary to live nNar the fathers work, or when one owns property and cannot sell. Besides, how can we tell ahead of time what new neighborhood has to offer? It is usually a game of blind mans bluff, this moving about, and we may lose rather than gain by the change.

 Washington Chicken Pie

Children Have Holiday Fur
HOMEMADE DECORATIONS ARE BEST

 New York-Mother can say "Be My Valentine" to her children in no pleaSanter or more sure-to-be-ap- preciated way than-"Yes, my pets, you CAN have party"
 And, if she follows up her per- mission with a few ideas for making the party successful and unique, she'll be doubly popular around the house.
 Whether 8 Valentine party is for children or grown-ups, the ta- ble decorations are number one consideration. Red hearts and cu- pids are as necessary to the success of the party as black cats and pumpkins were to the one you gave last Halloween.
 However, the smart hostess tries to figure out new ways to use the old and well-loved symbols. If she had flower heart as a center piece last year, she doesn't use flow CTS again this year. Or if she does, they look quite different.
 Make Decorations
 For any kind of children's par ty - Washington's Birthday, St. Patrick's Day and so on it's 8 nice idea to let the youngsters help make the decorations. And to you or to the children, crepe paper de- partments, flower shops and novelty counters where such things as toy balloons are sold are sure to furnish inspiration.
 One pretty Valentine party table has a toy balloon cupid in the cen ter of it. And, to carry out the idea, tiny red balloons at each child's place.
 There are several new balloon games to amuse children. If they are in hilarious mood, some of these probably will entertain the older folks, too.
 Try blowing race, with play CTS lined up at one end of the room. Supply every person with an inflated toy balloon, then give or ders that each one is to blow or fan his balloon the length of the room to the opposite wall. The player whose balloon touches the opposite wall first, wins.
 Also, two guests can be given inflated balloons and milk bottles. Each player places his balloon on the mouth of the bottle. At given signal, they start running toward

 Experts agree that the beauty of your skin depends on the purity and richness of your blood and just how perfectly it circulates.
 If the blood stream is toxic, your skin will be dull, blotched and sal low" says Benjamin Gayelord HauSer, important authority on the subject of food as related to beauty.
 If your blood is pale with anemia, your skin will be pale, too. When your cvirculation is slow, your skin becomes waxy, mottled or bluish. When your blood dances through your system, then your color is fresh and vivid" MT. Hauser continues in an interesting Shapter in Eat and Grow Beautiful"
 In other words, unless your doctor objects, you ought to do regularly some kind of exercise which sends your blood vigorously instead of lazily through your veins.
 You can walk mile a day, for instance, Striding along rapidly, holding your stomach in and your CI16SU QlSI1 dllu LII Cdt1l1l6 OCCPly' And if you cannot manage special walk for beauty, you can at least stop taking taxis and street cars every time you have to go a short distance.
 You can do your reducing exer- ciseS or your limbering and stretch ing routines little more rapidly to stimulate sluggish circulation, bring color to your cheeks.
 Do keep in mind that sound health is the foundation of true beauty. You cannot have shiny hair, smooth, clear skin and supple, youthful body if you do not eat your vegetables and salads, like a good little girl. get enough sleep, do some kind of exercise regularly.

school radio. He said that he
thought that she would be suitable
for forming and directing a club to
present various speeches and pro-
grams over the radio because of
her dramatic ability. Since she
had a junior home room, he thought
it would be wise for her to use
most of the pupils in her room,
with the exception of a few others.
So she formed a club, calling it the
Junior Radio Club" The club
started out by presenting a five
minute news talk over the radio
each morning.
Last year the club did some very
good work, both at school and out
side. They gave many interesting
plays and programs at school.
They also presented several plays
over WDEL, which everyone SEEM
ed interested in.
This year the radio club wishes
to present play over WDEL
monthly and possibly one or two
over WCAU, but because of so
many of the members being involv-
ed in so many other various activ-
tiles, they are not certain that they
will be able to do this Miss Breme
hopes that pretty soon, the mem
bers of the radio club will be able
to carry on the club without her
aid.
Miss Breme thinks that there
could be more members in the
Radio Club, but at the present time
she thinks she has enough to carry
out her plans.
From the attitude of each mem
ber, Miss Breme thinks that this
years club will be as great a sue
cess as last years. In fact, it
should be better because of the ex-
perience of some Of last years
members, but right now, there are
too many other activities which
need these members during club
period
Miss Breme, herself, does not ex-
pect to be a radio announcer later,
but her desire is to be radio
script writer.

Duties of the Business Manager of
a School Paper

The person selected as business
manager of a school publication
has many duties and responsible
tiles. AS an example, take the
business manager of our own
school paper, THE Spy Glass" His
rst duty is to see that sufficient ad-
vertisements are solicited to defray
the expense of printing the paper
He has to see that contacts are
made with from one hundred to
two hundred prospects for ads.
After the ads are collected the next
task is to arrange them on a work
sheet, trying to please everyone
with the desired location for his ad.
The business manager must
handle all the incoming money,
keep a strict account Of it, and
know just what every penny paid
out is spent for.
To be a good business manager
one should have the following quail
tiles: honesty, spirit of cooperation,
salesmanship, mathematical ability,
tact, and most important, a sense
of responsibility
