Comprehend
Children's
Emotions
Many Heartbroken
Youngsters Know
Real Suffering
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"She is such an unloving, hard
child. When her little sister was
hurt she just stood looking on, with
never a word, never a quiver. I
asked her If she wasn't sorry that
little sister was hurt and she said,
o. yes. It's too bad,' and walked
away.
Her little sister isn't a bit like
that. She cries if Marjorie is in
trouble, and she always wants to
share what she has with her. Every
body loves her but Marjorie, poor
child, isn't going to make friends
very fast. I wish I knew how to
reach her"
Granny came for visit and
stayed all winter. She and Marjorie
were on good terms with each other
the first day, although there was no
demonstration on either side. They
exchanged few words but there
seemed to be some sort of under
standing between. them that needed
no words.
Every afternoon when Marjorie
arrived home after school she fol-
lowed her routine of changing, wash
ing, eating and then quietly made
her way to granny's room. Granny
smiled at her, got out an old book,
and read to her. When the story
was finished Marjorie went to the
little corner cupboard and took out
an apple. two plates and little old
fashioned fruit knife. She peeled
and cut the apple into quarters,
passed granny two of them, took the
plate with the other two on her lap,
and then the two ate in commun-
ion, blissfully. Day after day that
program never varied.
Granny had to go home at last,
and the family went to the railroad
station to see her off. Little sister
was SO sorry granny was going away,
but Marjorie, when asked said, 20,
granny has to 60 home, of course. !"
There were no tears in her eyes, no
hint of regret in her voice and her
mother, vexed at such hardness said,
And granny so kind. I'd think
you'd be ashamed" Marjorie set
her hard little jaw and looked down
the tracks to sight the train.
All the way back home the talk
was OF granny, how she would be
missed, how kind she was, how
much she had done to make the
children happy, and in all the talk
Marjorie had no share. She sat
stif1y silent all the way home and
when father went to put the car up
she disappeared. Look for her and
get her to come for her supper. It
will soon be on the table," said her
mother. II can't imagine where the
child could go, and she just after
parting with her granny. That child
has no heart. She's hard as nails.
Do, please, Daddy, see If you can
find her"
Daddy hadn't been talking any too
much that afternoon, come to think
of it. And he hadn't said anything
beyond "Yes," mo-" II guess so,'
since returning to the house. He
seemed to know just where to look
for Marjorie, turning directly to the
stairs and going to the attic. In
the darkest corner he picked up the
little huddled heartbroken child who
was sobbing out her grief and loneli-
ness in the silence and darkness
where nobody would hear or see.
Its too bad, old GIRL" said daddy
We'll see it out together. Maybe
she will be back in the winter and
maybe you and I can help each
other bit until then. And we'll
go to see her, you and I, right soon. u

eating at the club exclusively" And
then the little woman is really "on
the spot!"
1t is hard to ring enough changes
on that first course. When a really
cool day happens to roll around the
housekeeper will fall upon hot soups
with whoops of joy and relief. The
rest of the time she is struggling
with fruit cocktails, ''pepped-up"
vegetable juices, cool salads, after
the California custom, and occa-
sionally, as desperate measure, a
variety of hors d'oeuvres.
To help out my fellow woman in
her dilemma, 1 am starting today's
weekend menu with a first course
that has become favorite in our
household. I have published it be-
fore, but just lately I have had a
number of requests for a repeat"
on it-and it seems to fill theo'bill
so nicely during these hot-weather
menu doldrums that I felt many of
you would be glad to have it to tuck
away in the files for future refer
ence. 1t is called cold Tomato
Soup, Adele" in honor of my cook,
who invented it.
Before turning to the menu itself,
however, there is one other thing I
wish to mention. You will see that
we are suggesting boiled fowl with
rice for the main course in Sundays
dinner. This is not real fricassee,
nor is it the boiled fowl with dump
lings that most of us know so we'll

done with frying chickens, big ones,

Dorothy Dix Says
Shabby Appearance Inexcusable
In Husband as Well as Wife

DEAR MISS DIX-What shall
do with my husband? He is always
clean and neatly dressed when he
goes out, but when we are alone he
looks like human rag bag. I think
he should be as particular about
his appearance now as he was before
marriage. and have told him So But
he laughs at me and says that the
good of home is that you can let
yourself go in it. I also have tried
to overlook his untidiness, but I
can't get romantic over a man in a
soiled shirt. nor can I enjoy kiss
ing a scratchy beard. My husband
says he Is too tired after work to
worry about his looks, but work
just as hard and I always try to be
dolled up when he is around Is
there anything that can do to
make him appreciate how abso-
lutely disgusting he is to me when
he is dirty and unshaved and un-
shorn? j. N.
Answer: I am afraid not, because
men seem to be under the illusion
that the Lord has made them SO
good looking that they do not need
any of the adventurous aids Of
clothes. Also, they are strong in
the belief that, no matter how a
man looks, he always looks like a
fairy prince to his wife.
Hence in this comfortable faith
they feel they do not have to worry
about personal adornment. And so
when a man is the glass of fashion
and the mold of form, when he pays
meticulous attention to the cut Of
his coat and the set of his trous-
ers and is always barbered within
an inch of his life, it is because he
personally likes fine raiment and
gets a kick out of being known as
one of the best-dressed men in
town. But his beautifying is done
for his own qualification. It is not
inspired by any pity he has for
the women who have to look at him
at home or the girls whom he takes
out.
Yet the very men who are careless
about their own appearance are
overcritical of women's. No man
will take girl stepping if she is
frowzy and looks like a package
that mother tied up. If Maud and

Anniversary
Card to a

Write Name With
Title at Head
OF Message
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: I would like to
send a wedding anniversary card
to woman who used to be my cook.
She is married and of course l
would also like to include her hus-
band in this congratulation. How
shall I sign the card? She is no
longer in my employ and he never
was.
AnsWer-I don't like the rude
ness of signing Mrs. John Smith
at the end of any message, and yet
I can't quite feel it suitable to sign
the card Matte Smith either. 1t
is always proper to write your
name with title-to no matter whom
at the beginning of third person
note or message. The writer rudely
proclaims her social position to be,
in her opinion, higher than that
of the person to whom she is writ
ing only when Mrs is prefixed to
the signature. AS gesture of cour-
tesy in this case I would write at
the top of the card, With Mrs.
John Smiths congratulations on
your anniversary, or with Mr.. and
Mrs. John Smiths best wishes for
your continued happiness" or what
ever message you like.

The railroads have taken a tip
from their competitors. and are
speeding up their service to the

1925 the railroads used only 900
trucks to supplement their regular

livery methods, but that 1t also
saved them money. AS a result, the
railroads today operate $500 motor

some 81 roads are using this plan
over distances equivalent to 20 per

limited part of its territory, II has
effected a $50. 400 annual saving.

Power Production
VS.. Flood Control

Representative Will NJ. Whiting
ton of Mississippi stated a fact
which should be commonly under
stood, when he recently said Gen
orally. reservoirs for power and flood
control are incompatible. An empty
reservoir is necessary to detain flood
waters. A full reservoir is necessary
to develop power"
That simple truth exposes much
of the bunk behind the governments
sO-called flood control program. 1t
will be remembered that when the
government was forced to defend in
court the cOnstitutionality of GER
tain OF its pOwer-producing projects,
such as the TVA. it did so on the
ground that the projects principal
work was to aid in flood control and
similar normal governmental un-
dertakings, and that power produc-
tion was purely by product" That
argument may be legally Valid-but
from any practical standpoint, il is
about as completely fallacious as
anything could be- You don't have
to be an engineer to realize that a
dam which is full of water. and so
able to produce power. will be worse
than useless as a reservoir in case
of flood
All of this illustrates the conscien-
celess tactics of the power poll
ticians" They seem to work on the
IIitlerian thesis that anything. no
matter how untrue. unfair or vici-
Gus. is legitimate so long as it
brings them nearer the ends they
desire They want to see the power
