RUTLEDGE SCHOOL NEWS
Lower Grades.

Tuesday of last week the pupils
received their report cards.
The fourth graders have World
News map on one bulletin board.
They bring newspaper clippings from
home and pin them around the map.
Then they connect the clipping with
the place on the map where the news
occurred by means of black thread.
It teaches the location of most places
mentioned in the newspapers.
In spelling, Alice Ekberg has the
lead in grade 2, Lorraine Swanson
in grade 3, and Frederic Christopher
son in grade 4. The first graders seem
to enjoy writing their spelling. They
started this week.
Mrs. Bowers has been reading ''The
Eskimo Twins" to the pupils.
The pupils of grade 2 made fruit
men health posters last week. The
pupils of grade 3 made posters show
ing healthful foods and well balanced
meals, and grade 4 made plans for
safety posters.
The first graders are ready for a
new primer. The third and fourth
graders have new readers and the
second graders will be ready for a
new reader in few days. It's such
fun to get different books.
In language classes this week the
pupils studied the poems Frost by
Gould, Morse Lullaby by Eugene
Field, "Snowflakes" by Dodge, and
"Moon so Round and Yellow" by Barr.
In spite of the cold weather, the
attendance has been fairly good. The
first graders hold the best record.
Mrs. Van Leeuwen of Hinckley,
visited school one day last week.
In language class Wednesday of
last week, the fourth graders talked
about what they can do indoors on
a rainy or stormy day. Here are some
of the things decided on: Tell each
other stories; read to each other or
silently; paint or color pictures; play
quiet games; make things with scis-
sors, paper and paste; make rainy
day scrapbook and collect pictures,
jokes, poems and even short stories;
play school; try writing letters or
original poems; and of course, they
can always help their mothers.
The pupils are all excited about the
school radio. 1t was purchased by the
Rutledge PIT. A. and the children
think it is grand.

Strengthen
|Pectoral
Muscles
Fitted Brassiere
Helps Give You
Perfect Figure
By PATRICA LINDSAY.

In discussing exercises for up
lifting and f1rming the bust line
with Miss Dorothy Nye. who is an
expert in corrective exercises, the
subject Of proper fitting brassieres
came up.
TN planning a regime for per-
fecting the bust" Miss Nye said,
ut is important not to hinder the
effect Of the exercises by wearing
badly fitted brassieres. Brassieres
should be carefully selected, always
the uplift type which helps to keep
the tissues up instead Of pulling
them down. A constant downward
pull stretches and weakens the
muscles and also the tissues.
when young girls begin to de-
velop, they should go without
brassieres as long as possible. Then
when a brassiere becomes necessary
it should be carefully fitted so that
it will give support where needed,
but should not bind or flatten."
Following is a series of exercises
which Miss Nye has planned to give
strength and flrmness to muscles
holding the bosom in place, and to
flll out the hollows at the sides Of
the chest-of which many Of my
readers complain.
Lie on back with arms out to
side, keep arms on mat throughout
exercise. Raise chest and shoulders,
chin tilted upward and weight on
back Of head. Relax and lower chest
and shoulder to mat. Repeat five
times and then rest. Repeat five
times more.
Stand or sit with chest and bust
lifted and shoulders flat, fingers
clasped in each other in front Of you,
arms bent at elbow and raised
shoulder high.
Resisting with the right arm, try
to pull the right arm across the body
to the left with the left hand.
Alternate, Using the resistance with
the left hand and pulling across to
the right side with the right hand.
This exercise relps to strengthen
muscles between the shoulder blades,
stretches the chest muscles and
flattens the shoulders. Four times
Relax. Eight to IL times altogether
On hands and knees, with fingers
pointing toward each other. Keep
back fiat and head up, resisting with
arms. Bend elbows and slowly lower
the body until the chest almost
touches the floor. Then slowly raise
the body, resisting throughout entire
exercise. Repeat four times and rest
Eight times altogether.

doubt in his mind as to your attitude.
Don't leave the way open for any
further discussion. Don't consent
to see him.
Tell nobody else what has hap
pened. You don't want to become
the laughing stock Of every one who
hears the story. Forget the whole
affair as quickly as possible, no mat
ter how difficult that may be. Per-
haps going out with other men will
help.
But there's one thing more which
we think you should do, and that's
have a very serious session with
yourself, trying to discover why q
fellow of this sort was able to win
your love. Do this for your own pro-
lection, to make sure that no other
cheap chiseler will ever be able to
take you for such ride again.
This fellow must have given some
other indications Of his essential
character before the episode of the
ring. Think back and try to dis
cover why you didn't heed those
warnings. Your judgment Of men
apparently isn't any too good, and
you'd better make allowances for
this weakness in future dealings
with them.
And finally, we can't help wonder
ing why you had to write to us to
ask what your attitude toward this
man should be. We don't know q
single girl who would even have
| thought of having anything more to
do with a man who had insulted
her with a phony engagement ring.
Yet you at least considered taking"
this outrageous piece of conduct,
and doing nothing about 1t.
We're very much afraid, Franeeze,
that you need to cultivate little
more Of He can't do that to mel"
attitude. Remember, that II you
don't put a high valuation on your
objections, no man will, either.
The money men spend on you Isn't
important, but their attitude toward
you is, Don't let them get the idea
that you're in the 10-cent store class.

think men can be judged by the
amount of money they spend on a

mond, and give it to the girl for
whom he says his love is deeper

would be a tragically foolish mis-
take.
Just what kind of fellow would
pull a stunt like this? Well, it's
just possible that he's a practical
Joker, and that he's been kidding
you outrageously all along. You
may take yourself rather seriously,
and you may have been an easy
prey for his misguided humor. Per-
haps he thinks the whole affair is
very, very funny, and looks upon
the l0-cent store engagement ring
as the perfect payof1. If that's the
case, you've been terribly taken in.
Or perhaps he is pathologically
tight" You don't say that he
actually told you that the ring con-
tanned a real diamond. Incredible
as it seems, it might be that he
simply couldn't bring himself to
spend more than his on a symbol
of his engagement to you. Ir
that case, he has shown exactly
how high a value he puts on you
and your love-some figure between
cents and a dollar. And it takes
little imagination to picture how un'
bearable marriage to him would be.

Schooling
Take Time Out to
Restore a Sick
YOungster
By ANGELO PATRI.

Sick children cannot do good
school work. A healthy brain is re-
quired for that and only body well
nourished can supply the blood in
quality and quantity that the brain
needs for school work.
The quality Of child's work is
often an indication of his health.
Good work of high quality comes
from the child who is big, of good
height and weight for his age. who
sleeps, eats and plays with good will.
Poor work is the expression Of one
whose vitality is low, whose blood
is poor, whose nerves are iI-nour-
ished and so not under control;
whose body, short Of nourishment,
tires too soon.
An experienced teacher can pick
up a sheet of work and come close
to telling what sort Of health the
pupil enjoys. He ought to be quite
as understanding of child's be-
havior. The over-active child who
does not keep his place, the dis
orderly one who talks and giggles
out of all reason, the dull one, the
inattentive one, are ailing children
and need medical care more than
class instruction.
II hope you can do something
with Henry this term. He Is very
poor in his lessons, I know, but I
Just can't have him left back"
Henry is overweight, is erratic
in his work, doing well today, do
ing nothing tomorrow. Maybe he
gets a fine lesson done early in
the day, but does nothing for the
rest of that day. Henry has dia-
betes. but his parents think that
the doctor must be wrong because
there the boy stands, a big husky
fellow. He just needs pushing!
So it goes. One child has had
many infantile diseases and is
weakened considerably in conse-
quence. He ought to be under the
physicians care, attending school
only half day, staying out in the
sunshine for hours, resting. His
parents say he is so far behind
now that taking him out of school
for an hour is out Of the question
But it is plain to every one else
concerned that teaching him in the
state he is in is impossible. Health
ought to come before school instruc-
ton. It does anyhow, all effort to
the contrary. Sick children cannot
work. They do not even grow. Take
time out to restore them.
Many cases Of disorderly behavior
are caused by hunger, lack of sleep
disturbed home conditions, mistaken
treatment. These children should
be studied as carefully as one would
study a sick child. Disorderly be-
havior that persists indicates mental
ill-health, something quite as dis
tressing gas bodily ill-health.
The day when society could turn
its back on the child who was
suffering from social errors-bad
housing, poor food, broken homes
has gone by, and good riddance.
It is for us, who are concerned
with such children, to get help for
them, to encourage the organiza-
ton Of forces that will cure the
conditions that make disorderly
children. When that is accom-
plished we can easily take care Of
the few who are destined by birth
for custodial care.

According to the newer methods
of broiling the chops are placed
in the oven at sufficient distance
from the source of heat so that
they are properly Drowned on one
side while they cook half way
through. About inches is the
proper distance If the regulator is
turned high. If the distance must
be less the temperature should be
reduced accordingly.
When the chops are Drowned on
one side they are seasoned with
salt and pepper and turned. Then
the other side is Drowned in like
manner.
The link sausages and the bacon
can be placed In the broiler when
one side of the chops has been
broiled. They will cook in the time
it takes to brown the second side
of the chop. Chops, sausages and
bacon are placed on the plank or
a f1reproof platter and the cooking
completed. They should be served
Immediately. The plank helps to
keep them hot, and, as you know,
lamb chops should always be served
sizzling hot to be at their best.

DEAR MISS DIX: My wife and
I are deadlocked over problem that
we have decided to put to you. Here
are the facts in the case: I am 80.
she "a. We were married last Sep
tember. Both divorced. She has
three children, two boys, IA and Z,
and a baby girl, 2h. The two boys
live with their father. The question
is: Should my wife ever talk with
her former husband alone? I have
forbidden her to do so, and tell her
that If she ever talks to him, re-
gardless of the topic Of conversation,
without my being present, or some
one that designate, that 1t will
probably end our marriage. She
says I should not ask this Of her
because there might be problems
concerning the children that she
and her former husband should talk
over, that are their affair and not
mine. My wife's former husband
married Immediately after getting
his divorce, but fear that he is
trying to get her back again. My
wife says that she loves me dearly
and is much happier with me than
she was with her first husband, but
she knowingly and insistently risks
that happiness needlessly by dis
,obeying me in talking to her former
husband alone. My former marriage
broke up because my first wife pre-
ferred eating out instead Of cooking
at home. I warned her. She would
not listen. I got a divorce. Are all
women such fools? But how shall
we settle our problem?
