Allow Child
To Work in
His Field
Give Youngsters as
Much Education
AS Possible
By ANGELO PATRI.

Many. fathers and mothers would
be spared lot of agony if they al
lowed themselves to accept their
children as ordinary human beings
closely resembling themselves in
character and ability and in poten-
tial usefulness. That is not the
usual view parents take.
my children must have a better
chance than I had. They must
make something of themselves" is
the almost universal demand people
make Of school and society. BY .
better chance they usually mean .
better schooling. Now the better
schooling child gets, the better the
higher education youth enjoys, the
better citizens they become because
Of their heightened intelligence.
But this education, this height
ening of intelligence will not always
produce the results ambitious par
ents expect. They will not always
result in turning out high-class pro-
fessional men, leaders in business
and art. They often end in sending
out intelligent young people who
can take job in the ordinary walks
of life and do it well and enjoy
doing it. That is they would do well
and enjoy their work If they had
not been trained to look upon any,
thing short of leadership. headship
and authority in their fields as dis
graceful failure.
We ought to think about this a
bit when educating children and
youth. There are only a few lead
ers among generation. The great
hosts are to be useful though obscure
citizens who fill jobs in every depart
ment Of labor-and by labor I mean
any kind Of work professional or
otherwise that we are called upon
to do. If we could consider people
who flll their places adequately, who
provide for their families, rear their
children IN wholesome attitudes
toward life, perform their duties
to the State as good citizens
should-if we could bring ourselves
to honor them we would save our
selves and them much distress.
We make the lives of children
and youth miserable by insisting
that they prepare for fields in which
they cannot belong. If we were
willing to train them to take places
In fields where they could succeed
they would be healthier, happier and
far more successful In youth and
maturity.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We are building a new house, and
as the one I have lived in for ten
years had stairs that creaked, I am
anxious to know how we can make
sure that those in our new home
will not be the same.
Answer: If stairs creak, it is evi-
dent that they are not tightly built;
in other words, the members are
loosely connected and move against
each other when weight is applied.
Well-constructed stairs should have
the tops of the risers housed into
the treads, and the backs of the
treads housed into the risers. Also,
the ends of the treads should fit
into recesses In the wall string.
When all the parts have been so
interlocked, the whole is further
frightened by the driving of wedges
under and behind the treads and
risers. The only loosening that can
occur then would be due to the
shrinkage of the wood, which can
be avoided by using well-seasoned
wood in the first place and closing
its pores properly with varnish or
shellac.
DEOR MISS NOVEL;:
The upper shelves in my kitchen
are out of reach by about 10 inches.
I have a terrible fear of STEP
ladders and wondered if you have
any ideas how might utilize those
upper shelves.
Answer: At point just about
IL inches from the floor, or just
above the lowest drawer, you might
have a pull-out board made OF
wood IL inches thick. This would
be strong enough to hold your
weight and enable you to reach
the top shelf when you use it as
q pull-out step.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have to pay our water rent
and 1t seems to me to be very high.
Our house, 10 years old, has three
bathrooms which use a great deal
OF water, particularly the toilet flush
valves which flush for an unneces-
sarily long time. Do you know OF
any way to effect a water economy?
D. w.
Answer: Ten years ago most flush
valves were set to operate for stand
ard lengths Of time. Today there
are valves which may be adjusted
by the turning of a screw to work
at exactly your water pressure. The
saving on your water bill would
be enough to pay for the new valves
in comparatively short time. ANY
good plumber can give you advice
on this.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Without considering the cost, what
is the very best wood to use for
interior trim when the trim Is to be
painted?
G. WENTWORTH.
Answer. The wood must contain
no sap or pitch, and be proof against
shrinking or warping. It must be
free of knots, have a fine grain and
be soft enough to work easily with
out splitting. All of this, added up,
gives up Eastern white pine. How
ever, this is expensive and scarce, so
next on the list as substitutes would
be sugar pine, redwood, whitewood
gum, Eastwood, poplar and Cali
fornia pine. For extra protection,
use birch, slightly harder wood,
for the better kind of construction.
Choose white pine If you can get it,
and If not, birch.

CHESTERTOWN CHURCH
HILL ROAD TO BE WIDER

Construction work on the widening
Of the Chestertown- Church Hill high
way is expected to start soon, accord
ing to an announcement made last
week by Mr.. Rolph Townsend, Dis
trict Roads Engineer.
This road, one of the first con-
structed in that section, will be wild
ened to a % foot hard surface where
sufficient width of right-of-way is
available. The work, in addition to
the extra width, will mean resurfac-
ing practically the entire road as the
present high crown will be lessened
which will mean top-dressing from
the shoulder practically to the top of
the chown. This macadam road was
constructed about twenty-five years
ago largely through the efforts of
the late Irving Walker who was one
of the pioneers of good roads in that
section.
