ing with deadly weight upon the
unfit and the unprepared and the
lazy minded. This is a speeded
world. What is to be done is to
be done quickly, accurately and
well. Today slackness means just
one thing-unemployment.
The market is limited. the COM
petition is keen, and only the best
will hold their places. Educate
and train youth to that degree Of
usefulness in whatever field they
seem to belong and they will find
their places.
How about educating those who
are not fit to be professional
workers as artisans and skilled
workers? What preparations shall
they have? The preparation that
dlsciplines their minds and bodies
and heads them toward usefulness,
wholesome outlook and willing
acceptance Of any work.
Character is the determining
factor in any ones success. Given
a good character a man cannot
fail. Without it. no man can sue
ceed. My idea about education is
just that.
So educate the youth of the
land so that they may face the
world as young men and women
OF good character, and we need
have no fear for them nor for
ourselves. The rest will take care
Of itself because this world needs

of the
Moment

There's no reason why people
with dogs should own the entire
sidewalk. or act as though they
do.
They have a very SNUG way Of
giving their dogs long leashes, and
then letting them stretch the leash
out over vast area for other people
to trip over. Sometimes these dog
owners don't even seem to care II
they tie up traffic at a crossing for
minutes on end. They, apparently,
believe in giving their dogs free
rein, and caring not hoot about
people who may be trying to go
places.
Personally, I don't mind parti-
cularly when it is a poodle or a
little dachshund, can usually lust
step over dog, leash and all. If I
can't step over them, I can make
them move with gentle tap of my
toe against either the dog or the
leash. But these big mastiffs that
people walk around with these days
are more Of problem. If you try
to poke them with your toe, you may
be in for trouble.
It's all right, I suppose, to have
your dog on leash. But couldn't
you pull the leash in bit when I
want to get by? JEAN.

Moth Protection Is
Assured Only by
Killing Larvae .

(This is the nth In series
OF sir articles on the ertermina-
tion OF household pests. The
sirth Qnd last Dil appear on
this page on Monday.)
When we come to the matter of
protecting our clothes from de-
structive insects the all-too-com-
mon moth is naturally our first con-
sideration. The larvae or young
not the adult moths-are the real
culprits, feeding on woolens and
furs and chewing holes that are
often beyond repair. AS the parent
moths usually fly into dark corners
the interior of closets is favorite
breeding place and the housekeeper
who postpones her moth h-killing ef-
forts until it is time to put away
her winter clothes has already given
them opportunity for head start
Household sprays kill by contact
only and should not be relied on for
permanent mothproof1ng effect The
best way to use them is to spray
closets thoroughly, at least twice
each month, being careful not to
neglect crevices where wool fluff
from garments may have settled
Spraying clothes or other woolen
fabrics will destroy eggs or larvae
that are present, but will not render
the fabric immune to subsequent at
tack.
The offspring of another insect
destructive to our household fur
nishings are the larvae of carpet
beetles, sometimes called buffalo
moths because of the similarity of
their devastating work to that of
moths.
They rarely harm clothes because
they produce only once a year and
then never very abundantly. They
are stout, oval and of reddish
brown color with a series of hair
like protuberances surrounding their
entire bodies. Carpet beetle larvae
riddle the borders of "tacked-down"
carpets, feed on the hair stuffing in
furniture and mattresses, feast on
upholstery fabrics of silk and wool
and also 60 after the shed hair of
dogs and cats that collects behind
baseboards. If carpets become in
tested with carpet beetles remove
any tacks and spray insecticide un-
der all edges, then spray the entire
rug thoroughly. so as to wet the nap.
This will kill those present, but will
not prevent subsequent attack.

What kind of education ought
we to give our children? There
seems little sense in giving them
an education that fits them for jobs
that do not exist-for a world that
is gone. What's the good of send
ing them to schools and paying bills
tc keep them there when nobody
knows why they are being educated
or for what?"
Changes in the world are no new
experience to the human race. If
a changing world was a reason for
stopping education of youth when
would youth ever have been edu-
Gated? Life never offered or PROM
ised security. 1t always has, and al
ways will, offer opportunity, and the
one best prepared will be the one
to benefit most in the long run.
BY best prepared I mean best
prepared for living in a changing
world which is the only kind of
world we have ever lived in. 1t is
true that the schools, like the people
who organize them, like to follow a
pattern, and they feel outraged
when the pattern does not fit. But
that has nothing to do with the
case. Education ought to fit youth
for living, not for a living.
Education, which implies disci-
plined character and trained skills
as well as knowledge out of books,
aims to round a human beings
character. When education sue
ceeds in doing just that, it sue
ceeds magnificently in its mission.
When it fails to do that, it fails in
its essential work and is not worthy
to be called education.
If you think that there is no
specialized field waiting for young
graduate at his coming of age, edu-
cate him so that he comes out as
healthy, intelligent, interested, ac-
tive human being, and he will soon
find a field ready for his service.
This world needs good men and
women first, specialists afterward.
I cannot believe, however, that
the fields of usefulness are as mar
row as loose talk suggests. I'll
agree that there certainly must be
some curtailment, but it doesn't
seem to press hard on the Efficient

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
The ceiling in my little boys and

plaster was broken and then re-
papered. The paper is new and
clean, but the mending job shows
very plainly. Is there anything

the container carefully and restrain
ing before making it into jelly. Or
the grape juice can be combined
with some other fruit Juice, such
as apple, to prevent the formation
of crystals.
The sugar crystals in other kinds
of jelly are the result of too much
sugar or too little acid. Or the
crystals may form if the sirup is
overlooked, or when the glasses
stand around for some time before
they are sealed.
Jellies or jams may mold or fer
ment because the glasses were not
sterilized, because they were not
sealed properly, or because they were
not stored in cool, dry place.
To make sure the glasses and COW
ers are clean and sterilized, wash
them carefully. Then place them
on rack in a pan, cover with cold
water and boil for Is to 20 minutes.
Keep the glasses in the hot water
until you are ready to pour in the
hot sirup. Then lift them out with
tongs.
Pour the hot sirup into the steril-
lied glasses, place tin covers on the
glasses at once, and let the jelly set.
When it is firm, seal it by pouring
hot paraff1n onto the top of each
glass. Rotate the glass before the
paraafin hardens, so it will run up
the rim and form good seal. Wipe
the tin covers and put them back on
the glasses to keep the paraff1n clean.
When jelly is stored in an atmos-
phere that is warm or damp, mois-
ture may collect under the paraffln
and break the seal-allowing the
organisms that cause spoilage to
enter. If there is no cool and dry
storage space available, it is best
to make the containers alright with
rubber or composition gaskets.
Jams are hot-packed, like pre-
serves or canned fruit. Pour the hot
mixture into sterilized jars and seal
at once.

lies, jams and preserves are found

the reason for these jelly failures.
And this is how the home economists
explain the jelly problems of per-
picked homemakers.
Cloudy jelly is caused by improper
straining after the juice is extracted.
This cloudiness is not serious, if the
jelly is for family use. But straining
the juice twice will help to make the
Jelly clear. Use Canton flannel
bag with the nap side in, or two or
three thicknesses of good quality
cheese cloth, or sugar bag For
the first straining, let the juice drip
and then squeeze the bag. But for
the second straining use fresh bag
wrung out in hot water and do not
squeeze.
When the sirup doesn't form jelly,
there are number of different eX-
plantations. The fruit itself may not
have the proper balance of pectin,
acid and mineral salts that must be
present for jelly formation. To make
sure there is enough pectin and acid
present, it is best to use mixture
of ripe and slightly underripe fruit.
Raspberries and blackberries are
sometimes low in acid, especially
when little overripe. But acid can
easily be added as lemon juice at the
time the sugar is combined with the
Juice. Or, if the sirup fails to form
jelly, the lemon juice can be added
and the sirup boiled again until it
gives the jelly test. One tablespoon
of strained lemon juice to one cup
of fruit juice is generally satisfac-
tory.
When pectin is lacking in the
fruit it can be added in the form
of commercial or homemade pee
tin extract. Fruits such as straw
berries and cherries must always
have pectin added, if they are to be
used for jelly.
Another reason for the failure of
the sirup to form jelly is the use of
too much water in extracting the
Juice. This excess water dilutes the
Juice. so there is not enough pectin
in proportion to the sugar. 1t takes
long cooking to evaporate this water
and the extra cooking is likely to
destroy some of the pectin.
Jelly will be soft and runny if it
is taken off the stove before it gives
the jelly test. The test most COM
monty used is called "sheeting off"
To make the test, dip large spoon
into the boiling sirup and lift the
spoon so the sirup runs off the
side. It's time to stop cooking when
the sirup no longer runs off the
spoon in a steady stream, but sepa-
rates into two distinct lines of drops
