Then Brown was allowed to testify that from the available records he was unable to state what became of the other amounts. On July 6, check for $8,500 was cashed, and the same day, Johnston deposited $500 cash, Brown said. What became of the difference?' asked Alcorn. T don't know replied Brown.
 Also in 1896, under date of Mo- vember I3, a check for 5000 was cashed, and November 15, Johnston deposited cash of $450, Brown testi- fled.
 Following the cashing of a check for $l0,750, November 25, 1886, Johnston deposited cash of 1900 in his New York bank, Brown said. In 1897 there were two payments to Johnston, both on the same day for total of $18,956.25, said Brown. Both checks were cashed May 28, 1887, and on May 29, Johnston de- posted $4,500 cash in the New York bank. Prior to the deposit, the Johnston account listed $294.45, Brown testified. At the conclusion of the payments, Alcorn called upon Brown for testi- mony concerning treasurer's checks and dealings between Johnston and Olsen.

forgets to do errands; how he scat
tiers the newspaper all over the floor
when he reads it and drops cigarette
ashes on the rugs. But it never
even crosses her mind to wonder if 1t
irritates him not to have any place
or privacy in the home he supports,
and If he likes to dig out his clothes
from under party dresses, and to
have his wife throw his cherished
collections in the garbage can be-
cause she considers them junk.
OF course it is not to be denied
that husbands are as full of faults
as an egg is of meat. There are
husbands who drink and husbands
who philander. There are husbands
who are too lazy to work and hus-
bands who are so busy working they
forget they have wives. There are
husbands who sing In the bath and
husbands who read aloud. There are
husbands who are grouches and hus-
bands who are tightwads. There are
husbands who snoop into garbage
cans and husbands who leave wet
towels on the bathroom floor. There
are husbands whose coming home OF
an evening is sunshine in the home
and husbands at whose sound Of the
key in the lock sends the tempera-
ture down to zero, bushes the baby's
prattle and makes the cat scurry for
the kitchen.
It isn't an easy thing for any two
people to adjust themselves to each
other. Each has individual tastes
and habits and prejudices that must
be modified or sacrificed. And,
though they get scant credit for it.,
men do this as often as women. But
perhaps every husband and wife who
live together for Is years in peace
and harmony deserve a medal for
showing conspicuous courage and
gallantry under trying circum-
stances. Heroes have been decorated
for less. DOROTHY DIX.

Child
Is a Serious
Problem
Requires Immediate
And Effective Care
From Specialist
BY ANGELO PATRI.

When children do not attend to
the lesson the teacher sometimes
calls them dreamy. They seem to be
absent in spirit though present in
body. They never know the place
in reading. never hear the question
the first time, never take an order
with the class. Always dreaming"
says the teacher.
Some day dreams are worth while.
The dreamer is thinking an idea
through to its end and will come
back with something that proves his
dreaming was profitable He was
not dreaming in the absent sense
that the teacher finds so futile. He
was thinking constructively. Such
a dreamer Is rare in school, but the
other sort, the one who absents him.
self and lives in haze, drifting in
state OF semi-consciousness, Is more
common than welcome.
These children have found the
place, or the work, or the conditions
so unpleasant that they have re-
treated to as far a country as they
can reach. Once safely closed in
this secret place they are safe from
attack. The teacher can scold,
mother can scold and punish,
schoolmates can boot and taunt,
there is always the Joy Of knowing
the way to the secret place Of peace.
That child does not learn his les
sons in school. He does not play
well with the other children. He
does not develop as fast as he should
physically or mentally because he is
absent from life so much Of the
time. Experience is what feeds
growth. Muscles grow when they
have a chance to resist and over
come an opposing force. Minds, too.
Dreaming children have escaped the
contest and so cannot grow power
full. What is to be done about them?
They must be studied by the ex-
pert psychologist, teacher and child
specialist. The cause Of the child's
fear must be uncovered, and cured
before he can function in life as q
child should. We know that he can
not trust his power to carry him
through his battle with forces he
meets outside his sheltered self. We
need to learn why and what. Then
we can set to work to restore his
faith and confidence.
It is useless to scold and punish
such children. It Is dangerous to
neglect them. The teacher cannot
drive them to work, nor hold their
attention by force. Attention is un-
der the control Of the child. and I'M
til he has the power Of facing his
situation and overcoming whatever
fears he has, he cannot control it.
Sometimes the cause and cure are
simple. The child is suffering from
some easily remedied physical de-
feet. Sometimes 1t Is very compl-
Gated and serious. Nobody knows
until the experts have studied the
child and given their findings.
Please regard this dreamy child
as serious problem. He must have
immediate and effective care or he
will be helpless failure. At best
he will fail in school. At worst
well we won't say anything about it.
Get him under the care Of the spe-
cialists and keep after his trouble
until 1t Is cured and he is able to
live with actualities once more.

short jacket with quilted effect
and a full, short skirt lined with
lowered printed cotton. Brass but
tons down the jacket front make
1t as jaunty as anything could be.
Velveteen is being used to best
advantage in these costumes, too.
In one store we saw a quilted vel
veteen jacket of black embroidered
with white, yellow and green angora
flowers and boasting white Upper
down the front. You can also get
the combination with a red or white
background. These separate little
jackets are very useful, you know.
You can wear them for daytime
with sport skirts as we'll as for skat-
ing activities. We looked at several
in one store and they varied greatly
in type and price. There are
corduroy ones of forest green lined
with brilliant red and these have
detachable hoods OF interest to
us, too, were the jackets OF a new
Water-repellent fabric in red, white
or blue. Lovely shades and beauti-
fully styled jackets.
Skirts Are
Very Short.
When it comes to skating skirts,
woe to the girl whose legs are not
quite as lovely as they might be.
Skirts are very short and full, as
they have to be to do Justice to
those twirls and turns you're sup
posed to be able to execute-and
not murder. Anyway, you have
your choice of black or colored vel
veteens and woods, few plaids-
but not many, for they're scarce
and f1annels. Gray flannel skirts
are particularly popular this year
and most effective with the Tyrolean
sweaters. They're the rough ones
embroidered with brilliant flowers
or designs, you know. An outstand-
ing flannel suit, for our money. is
the gray skirt and jacket lined with
brilliant red. There's a hood, too.
But you really don't need us to
tell you how attractive and out
standing the skating clothes are this
year. All you have to do is 60 into
any of the shops and see for your
self. Remember. you want some
thing up to the minute, but you
also must be sure that it is be-
coming and designed to give you
the utmost freedom Of action. Re-
MEMBER, too. that in these clothes
there is just as much chance to
minimize your bad features and
emphasize your good qualities as in
any other outfit you select. So
watch color, style, line and all the
other qualities that we spend the
best part of our life screaming
about.

Add very little water and bake until
soft. Remove the lid, then cook

without cream or other garnish.

served most often as sauce. And
aside from the preliminary soak

ing. Put them directly into boil
ing water and simmer for 80 min
utes. Start figs in cold water, sim
mer them 20 to 80 minutes. Dried
peaches are best if soaked in cold
water for half an hour, then cooked
from Is to 20 minutes. And prunes
generally are best dropped in boil
ing water, left there for an hour
to become plump, then simmered
for half an hour until they are ten

number of things. may be pumped
up by putting them in a small
amount of water, then bring them

Either fresh or dried fruits are
good in steamed buildings made
with butter cake foundation. These
buildings are something like the
Well-known plum buildings, but not
quite so rich-and can be made in
less time. Dried apricots and cram.
berries are excellent in such pud-
ding, because they are tart enough
to flavor the cake mixture. Chop
the apricots; leave the cranberries
whole. Roll whichever one is used
in flour, and add at the very last.
Fruits that have been canned
have been cooked in the process.
So they generally are best in dishes
that may be prepared with little
or no cooking. For tapioca pud-
dings, gelatin desserts, certain pas
tries, and numerous unlocked des-
sets-they are made to order.

out to be something commonplace.
Both from the nutritional angle
and from the standpoint of tempt
ing flavor and attractiveness, some
OF the best material for desserts is
fruit. Every one in the family, say
dietitians, might we'll have five or
more servings of vegetables and
fruit every day-because Of the
minerals, vitamins and bulk that
these foods contribute to the diet
One Of these five servings could be
fruit for breakfast, another could
be fruit dessert at lunch or din
ner
Fruit desserts may vary with the
tastes of the family and change
with the calendar. Some, of course,
such as fruit sauces, are standard
from January to December. But for
the most part the more filling ones
buildings, pies, dumplings, hot
stewed fruits and similar dishes
are more popular now that the
weather is cooler. Now, too, with
fewer fresh fruits available, home
makers are using more of the
canned, dried and frozen kinds.
Be Sparing
OF Water.
No cook can go wrong making
sauce from fresh fruits II she re-
members to be sparing with the
water, adds sugar at the right time
and puts in a dash Of salt to bring
out the flavor of the fruit. Cook the
fruit until it is soft. And to fruits
such as apples, which are a large
per cent water, add only enough
water in cooking to keep the fruit
from scorching.
Add sugar to taste. Because usu-
ally 1t is not necessary to preserve
the shape of the fruit in q sauce,
the best time to add sugar is dur
ing the last few minutes of cooking.
Fruit compete is something else
again. For in this the fruit must
hold its shape throughout the cook
ing. So when making a pear COM
pote, for instance, put the pears in
fairly dilute sugar strip at the very
beginning. Then the sugar in the
sirup will harden the fruit some
what and help it to hold its shape
For pear compete, cook pared,
cored fruit in a sirup made from
equal parts of sugar and water with
a bit of salt. When the pears are
tender enough to pierce with a
straw, take them from the strip
chill them, and serve with whipped
cream. Or dispense with the chill
ing and serve them at once-hot
filled with tart jelly, and topped
with spoonful of hard sauce,
grated coconut, or chopped nuts.
For a colorful fruit dessert put red
cinnamon candies in the strip be-
fore cooking the fruit.
Two good baking fruits are pears
and apples. Pears are cooked in
q moderate oven, apples in hot
one. Wash pears, cut them in half,
and core them. Put them in a
