VIEW. CONVENTION PARADE CANCELLED
Local Delegates to Attend Three ; Day Session in
 Hartford June 26-28

Plans for a parade Saturday in connection with the annual con- vention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Hartford have been cam celled, Commander Edward O. Schol ey of Wheeler Young post was notified last night. Nearly a score of local V. F. W. members are planning to attend the conven- ton which will open Friday and continue through Sunday.
 Joseph B. Griffin, general chair man, in calling of the parade slated for Saturday afternoon, said:
 "In January of this year, by rea- son of the declaration of war and the emergency working conditions. no parade was contemplated. Shortly thereafter, the president and other government officials, felt that patriotic demonstrations were to be encouraged in keeping with the general situation and conditions and the parade was prepared.
 Last week at the request of local officials, particularly the Chamber of Commerce and the trafflc authorities in our city, the committee was requested to elimi- nate the parade or at least delay the schedule until very late in the afternoon. The traffic conditions caused by the letting out of the various defense industries in mid- afternoon, together with the satur- day shoppers, would furnish sit- uation which, in the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce and utili- ties companies, would be danger ous and embarrassing"

 The tires on one of the new cars, which has gone only 5000 miles, are already worn smooth. An a1- other of the cruisers, the tires are also extremely worn already.
 Alderman Walker contends that the city was either given used tires or that they were made of cheap rubber.
 Purchasing Director Martin J. Sweeney has notified the firm from which the city bought the cars and the manufacturer of the tires.

Judith pressed the rocky little hat over her red curls and reached for her purse. It was l2 o'clock and she was in 6 hurry to be off, but as she turned to leave the office, the bug ger on her desk rang. Reluctantly she Tipped the button with Q per- fectly rnanicured finger.

 "Yes, sir" she replied, her tone lacking It's usual enthusiasm.
 She could have removed her hat and put down her purse but she did not. It was her lunch hour and he might as well know she expected to eat She picked up her note pad and pencil and started for his office. When she entered the spacious room, Watson looked up, deep frown be- tween his eyes,
 "sit down, Miss Kingsly," he ln- etructed, and motioned her to the chair on the other side of the flat topped mahogany desk.
 She hesitated, thinking if she sat down the interview might be too long. He smiled, relaxing his so- berness for the moment.

 Not 8 date, Mir. Watson" she an- swered smilingly and dropped her slim and graceful figure to the chair, "but I am disgustingly hungry for a girl who has to watch her diet and count her calories."
 He chuckled.
 T won't keep you long and you will have no use for that" he in- formed, indicating the note pad. He leaned back in his chair and studied her intently with his dark eyes. How would you like a trip to California;"
 Judith strengthened her shoulders and looked at him questioningly.
 T think there is a leak in this organization somewhere and to put my fears at rest, I am sending you to San Diego. I want check-up on the office force out at the fac- tory. DO you want to go?"

But he did not turn. A little sigh passed her lips. She knew ill her heart that she still loved him, regardless of what had hap pened or been said.

Modern Schools
Better Than
odd Ones
ChilHs Initiative Is
Stressed as Part
of Training
By angelo Patri
By angelo Patri

More parents visit their schools
than formerly but still too many
take school for granted and leave
it to the teachers. Those people
are still thinking in terms of the
old school where the children
marched into classrooms, teachers
standing about marking time and
taking the names Of those who
were out of step or who turned an
inquiring eye in any direction what
ever. Heads front, eyes front, left
left, left, left" You remember, I
am sure.
That kind of school has passed
into history and only a few strag-
Cling ones remain to mark the end
of them. Today, If you visit the
school you will see children stream
ing through the building, in groups,
singly. chatting quietly as they 60,
teachers mingling with them per-
haps, perhaps not, according to their
convenience. Pupils and teachers
are attending to their business. on
their own, with nobody policing
anybody.
It is no longer a school crime
to whisper in class. The children
are interested in what they are
doing, they want to do It,. they
want to get it done we'll, and If
one of them whispers to another
you can see by the looks on their
faces, by their actions, that the
interruption is q request for in
formation or help which is gladly
granted, in a friendly but business
like way. These are not children
under compulsion, but growing
youngsters helping themselves into
fuller growth.
In this school there are no shout
ing teachers. remember once
walked through an old-style school
leading a 4-year boy by the
hand. As we passed a classroom
door a teacher shouted, shouted
something in so loud voice that it
was impossible to know what she
said and the little one looked up
at me with smile and said, Her
thinks hers driving horses" No
body thinks she is driving horses
in today's school.
The change has brought criticism
from unknowing people. Some of
them say. "The children are not
made to learn anything. They know
nothing thoroughly. Nobody makes
them study, nobody makes them
obey, sheer waste"
These people either do not know,
or they do not want to know, what
today's school really does for its
children. Pupil for pupil we will
match the child of today's school
against that of yesterdays and ours
will win hands down. We can out
think, out-work, out-do the old
school easily, because nobody makes
them do anything. Because they are
free to choose the right way. They

great food combinations which can

be well done-and every detail must
be taken into consideration.
Roy, it seems, is q cook at heart
and suffers from no inhibitions. So
he went to corned beef and cabbage
headquarters for guidance. Every
corned beef critic knows that the
greatest impressario of corned beef
and cabbage was Dinty Moore. And
Dinty Moore passed on his great
secret to Mr.. James Moore Of PIG
West Forty-sixth street, New York
City, who passed it on, very conf
dentially, to Mr.. Charles Gillen,
Commissioner of Newark, N. j., who
passed it on to Mr.. Charles Brown
who wrote a great book on flne food
and called 1t 1.-THE Gun Club Cook
Book" And In this book Charles
Brown made the secret available for
all the world.
Roy, hearing about it, bought a
copy Of this book and followed the
rules and regulations thoroughly.

And so the members of the club had
corned beef and cabbage in the
ancient, approved and orthodox
manner. It was so good that we,
in turn, report it faithfully, in the
hope that many more millions can
now pick up where the famous Dinty
Moore left of.
Here is the Dinty Moore set Of
rules quoted from "The Gun Club
Cook Book" They must be fol-
lowed to the letter:
place well-chosen, properly cured
corned beef in cold water, bring to
boil and boil for three and a half
hours, skimming every 20 minutes.
Add fresh boiling water If necessary
to keep beef covered.
Fifteen minutes before it is fin
ished, add l pound Of granulated
sugar for every 20 pounds of beef.
Allow beef to cool in water in which
it was boiled for one and a half
hours"
(Note-Best let your favorite hon
est meat dealer pick the piece of
corned beef for you. And figure the
sugar just right on the basis of the
Dinty Moore proportions0

When Two Maids
Of Honor Are
In Wedding
Relay System Gan
Be Planned Very
Successfully
By E ,nilv Post


To the bride who would like to
have two maids of honor in addi-
ton to four bridesmaids and adds,
Please, Mrs. Post, can't you make
this possible?" I can say that al
though 1t is not possible to have
two persons at the same time stand
next to you during the ceremony
and hold your bouquet, and stand
on your right at the reception, and
sit on the bridegroom left at table,
they could do these things in re-
lays and perhaps draw lots to see
which one takes your bouquet and
which hands it back. They can to-
gether straighten out your train
and arrange your veil over It. And,
Of course, be dressed alike and
walk together.
Dear Mrs. Post: When a tray
with refreshments is passed to a
room full Of ladies and gentlemen
should all the ladies be served first
and then the gentlemen?
Answer-Since it is very awkward
to go around the room picking out
the ladies and then make a second
round, picking out the gentlemen,
it is best to serve one or two
ladies first, and then proffer the
tray to the others as they happen
to come.
Dear Mrs Post: Due to the prev
alence of hurry-up war weddings
we are having an abundance of mar
riage services performed in the pres
ence of only the families with the
bride in ordinary dress and no at
tendants, but followed by quite large
and formal receptions, at which the
bride wears evening dress Several
persons have asked me whether an
invitation to such reception only
entails an obligation to send gift?
Also would shower gift preceding
such a wedding cancel ones obliga-
ton to send a wedding gift?
Answer-There are certain excep-
tions, but the sending of a we'd
ding present-particularly today
is almost entirely an evidence OF
family relationship or friendship
with the bride or the bridegroom
In other words, people send presents
to brides and bridegrooms they care
for, whether they have big wed
ding or are married in the pres
ence of their families alone. In
certain communities shower pres
ents take the place of wedding
gifts. but in most communities
shower gifts are trif1ing and we'd
ding presents are as handsome as
people can afford.
