Oregon Sunday School
Shows Nice Attendance

The Oregon Sunday School report for
the past quarter indicates a sustained
interest in this recently organized
church school. Average attendance for
the quarter was SIS per Sunday the
average for March being 72 per Sunday,
almost so per cent ofthe present en-
rollment of $50. Fifteen new pupils
were added, while the report showed a
total of 81 visitors for the quarter. Mr..
j. V. Barton holds the record for per-
feet attendance alone, with Mrs. II. NJ.
Carnett and Miss Louise Edwards crowd
ing him with a record of l2 Sundays
each
In spite of the fact that attendance
was low in January and February, the
School lacked only few cents of meet
ing its current expenses.
This excellent showing is due in no
small part to the faithfulness of the
drivers of the two school buses in the
community being used for transporting
the majority of the members. Each bus
has an unbroken record of IS trips, al
though the roads were practically i'm
passable at times.
The cooperation of every member Of
the community is sought for the coming
quarter. Extra literature is being or
dered and will be abailable to new
members.

Six Months Proper Mourning
Period
Dear Mrs. Post: My mother
died six months ago and I am
living alone In the family house.
My brother is getting married soon
and I'd like to give a party for
him and his fiancee when he
brings her here to visit me. II you
think people would not think this
disrespectful SO soon after moth
er's leaving.
Answer: The strict exactions
of leisured yesterday have had to
give way to practical needs. In
the present day, six months Ii
considered a respectfully long
period Of mourning. To include
all your relatives and best friends
will certainly be proper. Whether
you may give a large general re
ception Is a question that you ane
your brother should consider IL
the light of the point Of view o
your own community.

inst because he had been her
father.
Bill had been right when ne
said nothing would make any on-
ference II it were the real tnine.
And then at the same time Anna
had withdrawn her objections.
Not that she didn't feel just the
same but at least she would no
longer actively oppose It Blll hao
been willing to marry her 100
All those years Gail had believed
herself inferior to other girls be-
cause of Annals attempt to evaoe
her friends, her constant moves
from one apartment to the other.
Now she realized that she was no
longer saturated with that old de-
sire for revenge. All she wanted
now was a chance to live a normal
life as Christopher's wife.
Too excited to sleep she lay
surveying the future which SEEM
ed to spread like a magic carpet
before her enchanted gaze. She
had been so absorbed by Annas
bitterness that she had forgotten
a girl could be happy.
1t was like waking from a long
depressed dream to find yourself
part of a sunny gay morning.
Anna was her only worry and
passionately she vowed that her
mother should have everything
possible to make her forget her
own wrecked life. Christopher had
been given some stock in the store
as a Christmas present.
Would Feel Differently
Gail would suggest after they
were married that they send her
mother to California. And after
Anna had been away for q few
months she would feel differently
toward Chris. When she saw how
good he was to her daughter she
would have to appreciate him.
Calls high spirits did not desert
her the following morning. She
brought Annals breakfast to her
in bed, swallowed her own and
departed in a furry of sleet and
wind with glowing checks.
Chris had promised to have
lunch with her at noon and she
could scarcely wait to know how
his father had received the news
of their engagement.
She thought she could tell from
the older mans attitude how he
felt but John Reid remained in his
office all morning so that she had
no indication until she met Chris.

body. In the life Of the child, the
two may occur together, but there
are periods when rapid develop
ment is taking place while growth
is retarded. On the other hand,
growth may proceed with very 1T
tie II any development.
There are certain essentials Tor
growth whatever the heredity.
over these we have attained con-
siderable control. II becomes our
responsibility to supply these es-
sentials so that every child may
measure up as fully as possible 10
his potentialities.
The first essential Is nutrition.
Normal growth cannot take place
without a supply Of nutritious
food. The food must be adequate
in quantity and in quality and
must contain necessary minerals
and essential vitamins. Food has
to supply energy to the body, pro-
vide for growth and repair, and
keep up the normal functions OF
the body. The deficiency diseases
such as ricketts, and scurvy may
seriously upset normal growth.
Even with an adequate food sup
ply, growth is largely regulated
by the internal secretions of the
ductless glands such as the pitu-
airy, the thyroid, parathyroids, PAN
creas and sex glands. Any dis
turbance in the function of these
organs is liable to disturb the nor
NAL growth processes. 1t requires
careful study to determine in
many cases what glands are at
fault. Some OF them can be sue
cessfully treated by modern medi-
cine.
The child grows mentally and
physically by play and recreation.
The normal child is active, alert
and playful. Alternating with Pc
RODS of activity the child must
have sufficient relaxation and
sleep. During play and rest Pc
RODS, growth demands plenty of
fresh air and sunshine.
Any of the acute communicable
diseases are liable to interfere with
growth. The chronic diseases such
as tuberculosis, syphilis, diabetes
etc, may also seriously affect nor
NAL growth. Gross defects and
disabilities which interfere with
nutrition and proper functionine
Of the organs may inhibit growth
The environment under which
the child is compelled to live may
have a direct and indirect effec
upon both physical and menta
growth and development. Poo
housing, unsanitary conditions, at
mospheric pollution with smok
and noxious gases may have a ba'
effect upon the health and growtl
of the child.
It is well known that low eco
nomic standards are closely relat
ed to poor health, malnutrition an
disabilities which interfere wit
growth. Normal growth, there
fore, depends upon many factors
some Of which are inherent in tn
individual and many Of them de
pendent upon the environment
With the latter we can do niue
TO remedy conditions through put
lie health and personal hygiene.

CHAPTER TwENTY-FoUR


Gail kissed her mother tenderly

blazing from her young radiant
face.
1T didn't make any difference
TO him." she annunced proudly.
"oh, Mother. he was 30 sweet
about IL. He said it simply
couldn't have been true. Knowing
me made it impossible that my
father could have done such a
thing. He even said he didn't
blame you for hating him. He
wants TO do everything he can to
make 1t up to US"
All I want from the Reds Is
Justice" Anna declared.
But, Mother, perhaps Chris is
the very one to see that we get
it. Marrying me will be a public
admission that he considers his
father was wrong"
He hasn't married you yet,
Anna reminded her. He'll never
do 1t IL he waits for his fathers
consent. And after he's talked 1t
over with him Chris may feel DIFF
ferently."
Last Hope
Gail knew it was her mothers
last hope and she was clinging to
it pitifully but knowing John Reid
in the store had given her an
entirely different conception Of
him.
She couldn't believe that he
would be deliberately vindictve.
Chris mad insisted that the con-
viction of the man he trusted had
upset him for months.
He was too sensitive not to have
suffered over Robert Trenton's
death. When Gail thought Of him
as the person who was responsible
she hated him but unlike Anna
she could see that there had been
two sides to the matter.
Some one had been stealing
from the store for months. When
the emerald was found in his pos
session all the evidence pointed
toward the manager. Looking at
it impersonally John Reid had
been justified.
Didn't he ever try to find out
if Father had secret enemy?"
Gail asked thoughtfully.
mo. He told your father that II
he would confess the truth he
would not prosecute him but how
could Robert Trenton confess
something he hadn't done ?"
well, sometime it will be
cleared up" Gail said hopefully.
She could not be unhappy to-
night even about her father. But
she did her best to conceal the
elation which ran like a warm 1iv-
ing tide through her veins.
Loves Her
Chris loved her. He loved her SC
much he wanted to marry her In
spite of the fact that her father
had died in prison. He wouldn't

Indicate One Has Finished
Any rule to the effect that the
fork tines are left one way or
another on the plate to signify
that one has finished eating Is, l
can assure you, nonresident in
accepted etiquette. In fact, the
whole idea is utterly absurd. But
the following letter Is not the first
one I have had asking questions
similar to this one: "A friend
who is visiting me insists that the
fork tines should be left upside
down on the plate to indicate that
one has finished eating and the
plate can be taken away. had
never before heard of such a silly
rule but my friend says that you
will corroborate her statement"
When the knife and fork are laid
on the plate with handles together
and you stop eating. It is plainly
evident that you have finished. A
very meticulous person turns the
knife blade to the left and leaves
the fork tines up, but there is no
wigwag signal idea attached to
this; 1t merely looks neatest.
