Itate Memorials ere important fac
tors in this crusade against idleness
by providing leisure time activity.
They contribute to the physical and
mental well-being of the people-to
the conservation of human values.
State Memorials are not entirely
social in their function. They have
an economic value. In 1910, $6S,
600 900 were put into circulation by
tourists in thirty-three states. The
tourist spends his money freely and
when he visits a State Memorial the
entire state including the Govern
ment is benefited. His purchases
include everything from groceries
and lodging to souvenirs. The Ma
tional Park Service gives the figure
of $40S as the average tourist eX
penditure. This figure is excessive
for State Memorials as many visit
ors are local Half the National
Park Service average 50 04 is
considered a fair figure We deduce,
therefore, that the 100000 visitors
in state Memorials IN 1870 put n
to circulation in ohio $1,S36.oo0
and the trend is toward create" Wis
itation.
Ohio State Memorials are, there
fore important factors in Ohio's
social and economic structure; they
are the concern of Gov ernment.

Nine-tenths of you fathers scarcely

sort Of human beings they are and
what they think and desire of life,
and what they do, and where they
go and with whom they associate,
than If you had never laid eyes on
them before. You have never even
had real conversation with the
little cutie whose bills you pay and
you have no more tried to form her
character than you have to make her
clothes. You have turned her over
to her mother to rear under the
fatuouS belief that a mothers sacred
influence was all that a girl needed
to keep her in line And maybe that
is what is the matter with girls and
explains why they have gone hay
wire. They have had too much moth
er and practically no father, and it
hasn't been good for their souls. 1t
is pity that fathers feel that their
only duty toward their daughters
consists in feeding them on lollypops

be greater than the mothers over a
girl is natural because when father
talks about the problems of life the
girl knows that he knows what he is
saying, while mother generally is
guessing. He speaks from eXperi-
ence. while mother theories, or her
opinions are merely Wlshful think
ing. The one is tough meat into
which she can set her teeth. while
the other is omelette souffle-a
mouthful Of nothing.
Mother vaguely warns her daugh-
ters against the primrose path.
Father shows them that its every
inch is set with thorns that will

Then father can do far more than
mother can 10 keep a girl from fall
ing in love with the wrong man. The
most that mother can know about
the boys that come 10 the house are
whether they are well-mannered
and presentable, but father has a
hundred sources of information from
which he can find out whether that
attractive young Jones is a go-getter
or a loafer, whether the Smith boy
drinks too much or is as sober as the
town pump, whether the Brown lad
is philanderer or likely will make a
| husband who will stay tied.
And before Clarice sets her young
heart upon any of them father can
relay his information 70 her and
subtly disillusion her.
| I knew one father who not only
used to talk over his daughters boy
friends with her, but induced her to
keep books with him on any one
whom she particularly fancied He
would put down everything against
/ the boy that he found out She
would credit the boy with the good
things she discovered. Then once a
week they would balance the ac-
count and the lad would either be
/ encouraged or dropped, according
to which score won out. And in the
end it resulted in the girl being saved
| from marrying a drunkard and in
her getting a fine man for a hus-
band.
! So great and potent is a fathers
influence over his daughters that 1t
is crime that so few of them ever
use it. 1t would save them a lot Of
grief if they did.

When we think of legs and their
contour, the heavy calf always looms
on the horizon of our consciousness
because this figure fault definitely
does spoil the shape of a lady's leg.
Straight up and down legs with
very thick angles and legs which
have an extremely heavy calf some
times do seem to run in families
and are inherited. However, even
these can be improved with exer-
else.
If you wish to reduce your calf
do this. Stand in front of a chair
(about 8 feet away from it, depend
ing on the length of your legs
Place the heel of the right foot on
the chair-right knee stiff. Keep
both knees straight and pull the
toes of the right foot back toward
the body as you bend over and touch
the right hand to the right foot.
Straighten the trunk and relax
toes. Again pull the toes Of the
right foot back as you bend over to
touch the right hand to the toes Of
the right foot. Do this slowly keep
ing the hand in contact with the
toes for a few moments. Place the
right foot on the floor and do the

Manners

Moment

If you are the housekeeper for a
family that doesn't believe in throw
ing anything out, am sorry for you
I know just how you feel. AS you
face the library table, which is clut-
tered with several weeks accumu-
lation of newspapers and several
months collection of magazines. YOU
feel like crawling off in a corner
and staying there. You know that
if you start throwing them out some
member of the family will be sure to
discover it that evening and will de-
eide that the paper or magazine you
threw out was the very one he
needed desperately.
If you are city dweller and your
space is limited, then l advise you
to allot each member of the family
a corner of closet for storage And
when that is filled make him throw
his own stuff out. You'll have to do
that or live under pile Of debris all
your life. JEAN.

Orient to this country. Turkish
and Indian decor was the rage, and
the deep, hard tufting of chairs,
sofas, banQuettes and the like was
an offshoot of that. 1t does not
belong with the graceful wood
framed sofa with the carved final
which is more useful today in our
homes. This type had a buttoned
back. which gives the effect of tuft-
ing. but is not as deep and is much
more comfortable. Your sofa might
be done in antique velvet, a needle
point fabric with tiny garlandS of
flowers, or striped or figured
brocade. It should be rich in color.
The deep tutting is more expensive,
as the whole surface Of the uphol-
Stery must be built out about 4
inches before it is covered. The
button back costs very little more
than straight recovering. If. by any
chance, your sofa is the straight
backed type with covered frame and
deep tufting, then it is of the
Turkish period and you may
cover it with red plush. have the
deep tufting and be right.
Dear Miss Novel;: I have Just
purchased some draperles that are
a very loose weave of rayon and
cotton. One person told me they
would shrink and one that they
would stretch at the windows. What
shall I do about the hems?-P. T.
Answer-Hang them up at the
windows and do not hem them for
three days. Then pin the hens in
just as they touch the floor. Blind
stitch the hens in. by hand, and let
them hang a month or two to see
what they will do. My guess is that
they will stay put" now, but shrink
up bit in damp weather next sum-
mer On any case, with hens basted.
it will not be difficult to change
them.
