By HELEN VOGT,

Next Sunday therell be only one
important person in the public eye.
Through national proclamation this
Sunday has been set aside and de-
voted to praise of mothers all over
the land. We know you're not going
to forget the important lady in your
life, and that you'll want to remem-
ber her with material evidence of
your devotion.
Especially appropriate are gifts to
make her feel "pampered." Fine per-
fumes if she likes them, beautiful
atomizers to hold her favorite CO.
logne or exquisite sachets to keep her
"pretties" always delightfully."- fra
grant, are suitable gifts to present
on May IA. There are any number
of lovely offerings on the market, and
her delight in receiving them will
be surpassed only by your JOY in CIV
ing. So do investigate.
Be sure to look at new and un-
usual perfume recently presented
by a leading cosmetic firm. This is
a very exclusive aroma, so difficult
to secure that only about 1900
women all over the country are ex-
pected to own it. The fragrance is
an elusive one, difficult to describe
Some call it light, Others say it is
heavy, but it is obvious that the per-
fume reacts differently upon each
type of person, thus proving suitable
to almost every woman. Although
we'll admit that this is a bit expen-
sive, II you can afford it it will make

Manners
of the
Moment

Some women have habit of never
allowing an agent or a salesman to
leave their door without good, stiff
lecture. Now this is all right at
times. I like, myself, nothing bet
ter than to give a good, resounding
argument about the wastefulness of
certain large companies or the self
ishness of landlords. But I realize
that it's wasted effort and not a
little hard on the poor agent.
Usually he is but a man who is
hired to 60 around collecting some
thing. And that we housewives
should hold him responsible for the
manners of his company seems
hardly fair.
have feeling that if we were a
little more civil to these hard-work-
ing boys they might be more civil
to us. OF course it's just a feeling.
Perhaps I am overestimating the
door -to-door agent. But I'm for
giving him try, anyhow. I'm 60
ing to see how gentle manners will
work on him for the next four
weeks. JEAN.

dependent to accept some one else's
opinion of the matter.
Several things may be done First,
confine kitty to the house. If she's S
never been out she won't make much
| fuss. Only cats are creatures Of the
/ wild, just as much as birds. So if
they live where there's a yard they
should be allowed some use of ma
ture. That's where mind over matter
comes into play.
Never let kitty out unless she's
been thoroughly fed first. A cat
who's eaten is a lazy cat And lazy
cats don't care to 60 to much trouble
over creatures as agile as birds
| Game hunters say the same is true
of lions. We wouldn't know Early
twilight and mornings should be zero
hours as far as kitty's concerned She
must never 60 out then. Birds are
feeding.
Putting bell on the cat is effective
only if different types are used in
rotation. A cat can learn to walk
so as to silence the jingle of a bell
if she's used to it. When using COL
lars be sure they fit snugly. Bells
must be fastened down to the collar
with no room between. Otherwise
kitty's liable to catch herself on a
branch and lose all her nine lives
at once. Which wasn't the idea at
| all!

Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Tie Your Children Down;
Teach Them to Face World

I remember a little bride that ]
once met in India, who was going
through an agony of inconsistencies
that was wrecking her and her young
husband, and that would make the
memory of their honeymoon horror
to them both as long as they lived
This poor little creature, who had
wept until she was a mental and
physical wreck, told me that until
she married and started on the long
journey half across the world she
had never been separated from her
mother for single day.
She had never even slept out of her
mothers room. She had never bought
herself so much as pocket hand
kerchief alone. She and mother had
gone everywhere together, read to-
gether, played together, travelled to-
gether. Theirs had been one of those
mother and daughter companion
ships that are so beautiful in fiction
and so disastrous in real life. So
when they were parted she simply
couldn't stand it. Her life was torn
up by the roots. She was lonely and
forlorn like baby crying for mama.
Yet that mother must have known
that the girl would marry some day,
and could not but think how much
better she would have proved her
love for her child if she had prepared
her for the inevitable separation by
sending her off to school or to visit,
and teaching her to stand on her
own feet instead of clinging to moth
er's skirts. DOROTHY DIX.

1t is ironic that the so-called best
mothers are the worst mothers, and
that the more mother loves her
children, the less she does to fit them
for life
She knows, as every adult must
know, that no mother can soft-pad
the world for her offspring. Just
as soon as her petted darlings are
out of the nursery they will be
plunged into battle in which only
the strong and disciplined can sur
vive But she puts no sword in their
hands with which to fight. She
gives them no shield with which to
protect themselves against the sings
and arrows of outrageous fortune.
We have vivid illustration of the
tragedies that unwise mother love
can cause in the many broken homes
we see about us. For no one will
deny that most Of the divorces are
the result of two mothers pets get
ting married and being too selfish
and self-centered to adjust them
selves to each other. Probably most
of the disappointment in mar
riages' of which discontented wives
and disgruntled husbands complain
boils down into their peeve because
those to whom they are married do
not treat them as their mothers did.
Still another tragedy of mother
love is mother not having the cour-
age to cut her apron strings and let
her children 60 free and prepare
them for the inevitable separations
that come in life.

Other High Spots
In Speech.
Among other high spots in the
speech, which is quite a long one,
these stand out. in my opinion:
Good food, we'll cooked, makes for
contentment and a pleasant dispo-
sition. If man wants to do busi-
ness he takes his associate out to
lunch and first puts him in a good
frame of mind by serving him with
good food. Many men owe
their success in life to their wise
choice of a cook. A wife who
is a good cook can be her hus-
bands first minister of state. A
wife who can cook need never fear
the other Woman-unless. of course.
the other woman is a better cook" 7"
Il believe that the cook is the
most romantic person on earth"
The most interesting guests for
any cook are those who do not have
standardized tastes"
"No woman can be a perfect wife
unless she is a good cook The
woman who studies the stomach Of
her husband and sends him out
about his daily work healthy, happy
and satisfied is making as great
an individual contribution to our
social structure as any politician
or statesman"

cooked food before they are born.
And the way to gain that assurance
is to see that every young, growing
woman and every mother is we'll fed
and we'll nourished."
In the social scheme of the future
I place the cook on a level with the
physician, and whether he or she be
wife or servant would see that they
took a degree in the science of gas
tronomy before they touched a pot
or pan. Enough money is wasted
over badly cooked food to keep
thousands of good doctors busy"
So now. Madam Cook and House.

By MARY ALLEN HOOD.

Uncle Sam, through the Depart
ment of Agriculture. took the time
not so long ago to issue treatise
on cats. The pamphlet dealt with
the effect of the "house tiger" on
birds, moles, mice, ETC., and the re-
suit on crops.
Figures showed a decided decrease
in bird life where kitty took up her
abode. Birds being scarce, insects
grew in numbers. Where insects
thrived, crops suffered. On the other
hand, mice. moles and rats de-
creased due to kitty's hunting And
if she hadn't destroyed them, they'd
have done damage to agriculture.
So we're right back where we started
from, in theory, anyway.
Washington folks aren't much
concerned with farm life except
from the marketing standpoint
But, there are cats, and there are
BIRDS. and. what's more, neighbors
It's one thing to have destruction
of bird life mentioned in book,
and quite another to have kitty
bring home a neighbor's pet wren
when she was distinctly instructed
to catch only the moles, which were
eating the tulip bulbs.
Cats are killers. That's why many
people keep them. But discrimina-
ton is hard to teach. We'd say
impossible. but somebody always
rises up with the exception which
proves the rule. Praising kitty for
a mouse and smacking her for a
bird is a waste of time. If she's
going to catch birds she'll do it on
the sly after that. The feline is
too smart to go bird hunting with

Military Precision
Not Essential for
Patriotic Growth
BY ANGELO PATRI.

I reviewed the scout troop. and
standing beside me was friend
fresh from visit to far country
where he had seen boys and girls
IN smart uniforms, in military order,
marching proudly behind gorgeously
arrayed bands.
Fine youngsters, aren't they?"
said I, proud of the healthy brown
skins, the sturdy legs, straight
backs and clear eyes of the little
boys.
Yes. but you ought to see the
kids on the other side. They look
like something. Their uniforms
At to the last button. They have
style. Your kids look a mess.
Their uniforms don't fit; their hats
don't sit; they aren't well set up
at all. Why don't you make them
look like something? You dress
those kids up and smarter them
up little with military drills and
you couldn't beat them. Americans
are too free and easy"

United States of America to me,
and somehow that's wonderful
sight for my eyes. think they'll
do"
In fact, now that there is no
company. am sure they will do.
These boys Of ours are trained In
service. Their motto is: Be pre-
pared. They are prepared to live by
training themselves in the habits
that make for sound health. They
hike instead of marching for long
miles in military formation. Their
bodies and their spirits are free as
they go. Free to see the beauty
of the country, to feel the spring
of the earth under their feet, to
halt at the spring for drink, to
visit at the farms as they pass, to
meet gayly the adventures on the
road they travel. They are out
to learn the ways of people, the
habits and the needs of the crea-
lures of the woods and meadows,
the names and the uses of the
plants by the way.
The woods are the schools for
these lads. In them they study
how to enjoy trees, how to use
them for daily necessities Of shell
ter and fire and food. They are
out to preserve beauty. to con-
serve use, to further growth, and
not to abuse and ruin and destroy.
They build campfire and gather
about 1t to talk over the strange
ways of the world, and each scout
says his say. Side by side they sit
there on their wrinkled brown
blankets, in their messed khaki suits,
hats tilted, crushed. maybe missing.
And no one questions the others
right to a place in the council, or a
voice in its proceedings because of
his ancestry. They know but one
qualification here-citiZenship of
the United States Of America. Each
belongs.

This clever design includes a
swirling skirt with the exaggerated
flare Of the skating silhouette, a
pair Of trim panties and a fitted
basque blouse. It's a style to en-
chant the hearts of Junior girls (and
their admirersD because it's so gay
looking. so young, and yet has the
brash, bright effect that's proper for
sports clothes. The waist, tiny as it
looks, is easy enough so that you
can swing racquet in it, and the
armholes are sufficiently deep.
Yards and yards of ricrac are clev-
erly used to stress the charming
lines of this outfit.
Calico, percale, gingham and
ehintz are all good materials for this
design. Any Junior who once tries
It on will certainly want it in sew
