seems TO have a cheerfulness, a helpfuHy
calming influence on her mind.
Many parents complain that their chill
dren are unable TO retain what they study
because they insist on doing their homework
to the din of boogie-woogie music.
Fortunately Shirley had been trained to
concentrate amid confusion when she was be-
ing tutored the set. Just recently she
acquired a liking for symphonic music and
for the past few months she has been shutting
herself in her room to do her work with

Is Shirley allowed to exercise her own
Judgment?
Yes. often as possible Shirley has
always been a sensible girl. II she makes mis-

picks out her own clothes, color schemes and
accessories, but of course I'm always along
to guide her. This gives her an opportunity
to find out about values and materials and TO
learn to make correct decisions"
Now that Shirley is back in pictures is she
going TO be taken out OF school?
No Her screen and radio careers are CO..
ing TO be incidental to her school life at least
until she is sixteen"
Down deep, Shirley is just like every other
fourteen-year-old girl in America
She likes TO wear the same clothes and
speak the same "slanguage" as do the men,

binations Of food.
Shirley has never
been finicky about
what she eats, per-
h APPS because I've
always had plenty
of good wholesome
food before her at
regular mealtimes.

yes, but always with others and with

Money Will Not Pry Cowboys
From Saddle, Asserts Scion

The princely paychecks OF war in
dustries may lure the hired man off
his hay rake, but Senator McNary,
republican, Oregon, contends mere
money will never pry the American
cowboy out of his saddle.
Your true cowboy is a cross be-
tween a bottle of whisky and poem,'

happy labor relations he said prevailed
between the buckaroo and his boss.
He is figure out of another world
"a dream world all his own-and he

ed he start driving rivets in ship

McNary reflected audibly on how
different from stock rancher's was
the lot of the orchardist. In private
life the republican senate leader is a
farmer. and the McNary acres are
devoted largely to fruit trees.
Il do not like to refer to my own
situation" he said, but there Is a

child, Mrs. McCulloh crawled, floun-
dered and wriggled out of the way OF

clothing was less cold than the day
Righted again, they started on through
the great white wastes that covered
plains and distant mountains. A wind

weary miles and the sleigh turned over
again: then again and again. And al
ways the floundering to escape in the
drifts. 1t was to turn over many times
in the next week. Nearing Fort Benton
on the seventh day they crossed the
Bird Tail Divide and found that the
warm chinook winds, rising suddenly,
had melted the snow, leaving trail OF
mud crossed by deep, snow-filled "a

the journey continued. At the ravines

foot of the Bears Paw mountains a
speck ahead of them grew as they
came closer-it became a wagon be-
side a bonfire The smaller specks
were a man and woman. When they
halted beside the pair they found a
bride and groom on their way into
the mountains. Trying to go ahead
with wagons, they were stuck and had
already burned two of their wagons
to keep warm. They joined the party.
If the soldiers had arrived two or
three days later only frozen bodies
would have marked the snow beside
the ashes of the wagons.
Night-black, impenetrable night,
without star as a guide through the

sleigh ahead went over a frozen bank.

upon the scene of confusion-horses

the wrong direction. Except for the
screams, the relief would have passed
in the night and the whole party would
have been lost in the mountains.

An account Of how he was hurled
into the sea by the force of torpedo
explosion which sunk his ship and
killed five men was given by Roy

Ayers said he was on a supply ship

turned to Portland, whence he expects
to make another attempt TO reach
Australia, daring the Japs TO blow him
off his course again. His letter says:

And there were always the marches
against Sitting Bull or Chief Joseph

Culloh of the circumstances that had
caused him to be left behind before
the fatal battle, and of how he was
obliged to go from door to door telling
each officers wife that her husband
was dead.
The scene had begun to change
when a young lieutenant named Jack

the young ladies visiting at the Nc

They were both beautiful dancers;
they made such a handsome couple"
said Mrs. McCulloh, looking back on
it through the years.
Pershing was at the house so stead
lily that everyone called him Uncle
Jack" as a suggested relationship with
Mrs. McCulloh's son.
! Some years later when the son was
student at Princeton, Mrs. McCul-
lob lived in New York. Pershing was
then commandant at West Point and
still the regular visitor. She made his
military kit when he was called away
to the Spanish-American war.
Many more years were to pass before
day at Columbia, Mo-, when General
Pershing, hero of the first World war,
was receiving the degree of doctor Of
laws. Slowly moved the procession OF
solemn scholars in caps and gowns.
Then the general saw Mrs. McCulloh.
The procession was broken as he
rushed toward her. What happened
after that is lost in the excitement of
/ the moment. But before the day was
over they spent a half hour under
the trees, reviving memories of Fort
Assinniboine when it was the cultural
capital of their world.
