a grave mistake to bring human life
into this present tortured world.
To these women, Miss Buck poses
this question "Who gives anyone
the right to pronounce against CIV
ing life to children? Has anyone the
right to decide for a child whether
or not he shall be born into the world
of the times-the only world, after
all. that we have?"
No place in the world, no time In
the history Of man has been good for
all races and classes of men. But,
Miss Buck points out. a world that
is good for one generation may not
be good for another. The world is
constantly moving and changing,
and if those waiting to be born are
forbidden life for the reason of the
moment, then there should be an end
to the human race, the author
reasons.
Women should not seek escape for
their children, because no one is
happy when he escapes the peace
and safety, the despairs and horrors
Of the world. "a perfect world offers
no challenge" Miss Buck says, "no
place for anger and indignation and
pity and effort and sacrifice and
triumph and achievement and salts
faction and contentment and joy.
These are the things that make it
worth while to live, and therefore to
be born"
Leave open the gates Of life
then" concludes Miss Buck land let
them come in, those who are about
to be born The world has need Of
humanity. And they have nsed Of

he provided for them. When
the last of the produce is sold
there will be approximately
$4,000 in earnings to be split
in equal shares among the $50
youths, the director of the
camps estimates. This will be
in addition to the two dollars
a day, plus food and lodging
each boy received throughout
the season.
At camp the boys learn team
work and self-reliance. Each
camp is governed by the boys
themselves. They elect a camp
leader, keep their own books,
market their own produce
through roadside stands and
wholesale channels.
Now that the season has
ended, the boys are free to do
anything they wish, but they
are offered an opportunity to
enroll in the school system at
the Rouge plant, or to do plant
work at regular salaries.
In starting the camps, Mr..
Ford acted in the belief that it
is up to business men and in
dustrialists to accept as a social
responsibility the sproblems
facing boys who found them
selves, through no fault OF their
own, at loose ends.

The What-Not

To all the long-suffering patient
people in town who devoted time
and energy in decorating the ex-
terror of their homes with Xmas
lights, and who won no prizes, we
doff our hats. AS a self-appointed
judge, we. should like to name ten
homes to which we would have
given honorable mention, as fol
lows: Wells FAIRIES, Harley Bodley
William Norris, Stanley Middleton

Walter Turner, Ralph FAIRIES, 70

There must be something about
growing up with people since early
childhood that makes it difficult
for us to imagine them in an adult
role. That is the way we fee
about Billy Roe's being a papa
Eight or ten years ago, there was
MT a crazier goof that ever walked
down the pike. A freshly baked
cake wasn't safe around him, anC
there was absolutely nothing he
wouldn't do or say for laugh
Now he is a settled and serious
papa. And, more's to be pitied
they say the little girl baby looks
just like him. Tsk, tsk!

Footless Bed No Novelty,
Saw Furniture Creators

The footless bed is here to stay.
Once novelty, it has constantly
increased in popularity to the point
where the once essential footboard
seems doomed to extinction. And
bedrooms look the better for it, too.
Such a wide variety of beds of this
type are now available that one can
be found to fit almost any require
ment. Whether your room is mod
ern or whether it is planned along
traditional lines, there is a footless
bed with a headboard to fit into your
decorative scheme.
The attractive upholstered head
boards, and those covered with slip
covers, lend bright note of color
to the room. Some interior decora-
tors match the headboard upholster-
ing to the drapery. Others use It
to offer pleasing note Of contrast.
Now wooden headboards in at
tractive designs are coming into
popularity. In standard shades Of
walnut, mahogany and maple they
will match the chest and vanity you
now have in your bedroom. A num-
Der Of these were featured at the
midwinter furniture markets.
Still third type Of headboard
offered to the public are those with
upholstered panels, which offer in
triguing possibilities to the home
decorator. The central panel is
supplied upholstered in white mus
lin. All you need to do Is stretch
material Of your own selection over
this panel, hold It in place with a
thumb tack or two and replace the
panel in the frame Of the headboard
where 1t is held by little metal clips.
War bulletins from Berlin and
Moscow being what they are, why
not shorten that word Com
munique" to "Comique".

Piano With Solo Voice
Is Popular Instrument

Nine out of 10 pianists-from the
banging menace to the finger
ripping charmer-have wished at
some point during their key-thump-
ing careers that they had an or
chestra to accompany them. Well,
now they can have. And right in
their own home, too.
A recently invented musical adj
junct for the piano which goes un-
der the name "solovox'' can do al
most everything in the way of re-
producing harmonious and varied
sounds except sing to you. Tell it
(by lingering its piano-like key
board to take the melody and it
becomes your instrument soloist.
You accompany its theme on the
piano.
The "solovox" is a miniature &c.
keyboard which attaches to the
right-hand side and below the regu-
lar keyboard of any piano-upright
or grand. The position of the "solo-
vox'' keyboard allows the pianist to
use his right thumb to "pick out"
the desired solovox-i. e., solo voice
while leaving his left hand and
right fingers for the piano accom-
paniment.
In a manner somewhat similar to
an organs reproduction of various
orchestra instruments, the solo
voice can be, alternately, a violin,
saxophone, flute. horn and so on. Un-
like an organ, however, it will not
play chords. No matter how many
keys are depressed only one note
will sound at one time
The solovox's complex mocha
nism was the brain CT lid of Laurens
Hammond, inventor o. that musical
parrot and jack of all musical
trades-the novachord.

Tough Meat Made Tender,
Bacteria Is DESTROYED

Tough beef can be made as tender
and fresh as new mown hay, scien-
lists say. All one needs is a violet
ray machine.
The Food Foundation Of Mellon
Institute has announced that fresh
beef, If exposed to ultraviolet rays
for three days, will be as tender as
meat hung in a refrigerating plant
for eight weeks. 1t was only after
years of experimentation that this
tenderizing process was discovered,
the Food foundation has announced.
Until now the general public Won
dered why it could get juicier and
more tender steaks at restaurants
than at home. The reason was that
the better restaurants paid the high
er price for seasoned meat which
the lady of the house would not or
could not pay. Only per cent Of
the meat formerly was hung"
Now it is possible for all meat
to be treated by ultraviolet ray and
then everyone can buy restaurant
grade meat at a comparatively low
price. II so. there will be no more
shouting about "this tough steak"
by the head Of the house when he
starts to carve it.
The new method can be applied
also to mutton and to fowls, for there
is tough mutton and tough chicken
under present conditions and these.
too, can be made more palatable.
Another advantage Of this violet
ray treatment on meat Is that it
actually kills any bacteria which
might have been in the beef, the
scientists say. The day may soon
come when the ultraviolet ray
treatment may be enlarged to
include many other foods in which
the growth of bacteria Is suspected
or possible. 7a

Some of them believe that the
sickness is hog cholera, while
