The Young Idea

Camping Is many things. It is
the wonderful camaraderie of youth.
in world designed for the young
and carefree. 1t is the lusty sing
ing of songs, the smell of logs burn
ing in an open fireplace. 1t is cook
ing outdoors, swimming, tramping
through the woods. It Is an expert
ence indelibly stamped with the
sign Accept No Substitutes.
This sumner the D. C. Recreat ton
Department will conduct a series
OF day camps for children in the
District, running from July to
August 81. There are nine camps in
all, located in various parts of the
city. No ersatz camping expert
ence this, despite the fact that the
camps are conducted only during
the day. The thrill of living out
doors is preserved completely. The
camps are located in genuine
camping country" in the district s
wooded areas.
If your child is between and IA
years Of age, he (or she) is eligible
to attend during one of the four
camping periods, each period lasting
two weeks. The first session be-
gins July 9 and ends July 20, ,the
second runs from July % to Au-

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: My wife and
have been separated 10 years, but we
only got a divorce a little over a
year ago. I am sure neither of us
will ever remarry and think it Is
silly for us to live apart. We never
did get along badly and, although
my wife was fussy, l never let that
bother me. I would let the storm
blow over and then pet her out of it,
but she got to the place where that
did not fix things
Now I would like to re-establish
our home and get married again,
but she won't agree to it. She won't
even let me date her, Can you tell
a bewildered ex-husband what to
do? D. D. w. =.
Answer-It seems from your &C
count that your wife has just lost
her taste for you, and that is a more
serious situation than if she had left
you because of some crime you had
committed against her. For she
might forgive you a wrong and love
you still, but if she is just tired of
you. it is final. There is no arguing
with boredom
Why We love. We do not know. Nor
do we know why We cease to love
1t is just that the one who once
thrilled us. thrills us no more 1t is
just that the one on whose words
We once hung entranced, inter-
ests us no more. 1t is Just that
the little mannerisms and faults and
foibles that once seemed so fascinat-
ing get on our nerves And no one Is
to blame. 1t is just one of those
things that happen, and nobody can
do anything about it.
Evidently this is the situation be-
tween you and your wife, and I
think that you will make mistake
in trying to induce her to marry you
again. You can't encore a honey
moon. Whatever it was that was the
stumbling block between you 20
years ago is still there, and you
would not find 1t easier to adapt
yourselves to each other now than
you did before. Age hardens us in

DISHES FOR 2-YEAR OLDS,
THANKS to Mrs. j. l.. S.,
WASHINGTON.

In regards to Mrs. H. rs request
for appetizing dishes for her 2-year-
old twins-she says they are poor
eaters, which makes me wonder if
she doesn't need fresh outlook in
stead of new dishes. I, too, live
alone with 2year-old and there

child can eat nearly everything
except very rich and highly-sea-
soned foods. I plan meals-on the
simple side-that appeal to me and
eat them as though l enjoy them
My child usually does likewise I've
only been eating with her for a few
months and there is a definite i'm
provement in her eating habits. She
seems to enjoy service as nearly
like mine as possible. So far as
breakfast is concerned, try various
kinds of cereal If your children
see you eating a big bowlful they'll
at least try it. With orange Juice
and an egg, it makes a breakfast
that doesn't require variety.
For one dish-rich in protein that
also includes milk-that my child
is particularly fond of: Creamy

CARE OF BOOKS?
"DO 1t NOW

(ThdnkS to Miss D. j., Hyattsuiue. J
The inclosed poem seems to be the
one requested by Mr.. J. K. S. of
Washington, in this evenings paper.
I hope it is. 1t is by Berton Braley.
If with pleasure you are viewing any work
man is doing.
If you like him or you love him, tell him
now
Don't withhold your appreciation till the
parson makes GRAFTON
And he lies with snowy lilies on mis-
brow:
No matter how you shout it he won't really
care about it;
He won't know how many teardrops you
have shed:
If you think some praise is due him, now's
the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone when
he's dead.
More than fame and more than money is
the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty, warm approval of a
- friend.
For it gives to life a SAVIOR, and it makes
you stronger, Drawer.
And il, gives you heart and spirit to the
end
II he earns your praise--bestow 1t; II you
like him let him know 1t;
Let the words OF true announcement
Do not wait till life is over and he's under

For he cannot read his tombstone when
he's dead.

CARE OF BOOKS?

I've just come across very old
family Bibles-the oldest of which
dates back to the 1700's. Naturally,
I'd like to keep these Bibles, as the
entire history of the family is re-
corded in them.
Since there always seems to be
at least one person among your
readers to answer every question,
I'm wondering if there isn't some
one who can tell me how to restore
the bindings and keep them in good
condition.
I know nothing whatsoever about
the care of old books and would
greatly appreciate some one giving
me few tips.

is having squirrel trouble We had
the same experience, and could hear
them running across the attic floor
and saw them but could not locate
the opening. When the house was
painted last. the painters found a
hole under the caves, which they
closed by inserting a piece of fine
mesh wire. not screen wire, but the
small square mesh, and we have
not had any trouble since. This
was three years ago, so if you can
find the opening, do that and I am
sure it will help.

LEGION READY
 TO MAKE DEAL
 FOR BROOKLYN
By CARL LTNDQUIST

New York, Feb. g 9- (U.P) The Brooklyn American Legion wants to buy the Dodger National League baseball club and wil close the deal whenever satisfactory arrangements can be worked out, Commander Lawrence E. Wiseman said today.
 ''The Legion is willing at the mo- ment to put $50,000 deposit on the purchase, providing that the balance sheet and operating statements, in- cluding the current year are sub mitted to special committee of the Legion" he said.
 A special committee of the Legion met last night to discuss the trans action, but Wiseman said represent atives of the Dodgers failed to ap- pear as scheduled with the state ment of the teams financial condi- tion.
 Purchase of the club by a cooper ative group of 00,O0O members also would be subject to approval of the National League owners, who might turn it down as such type of owner ship of major league club would be unprecedented.
 Branch Rickey, president of the club, who with two associates re- gently purchased about 25 per cent of the stock, said, T don't know a thing about this deal.'
 T have been hearing that they want to buy the ball club for some time, but other than that I know nothing" he said. When did they hold this meeting?"
 Informed by the United Press tmhat it was specially called bus mess session for the purpose of dis cussing the purchase, he said he hac no further comment.
 The Kings (Brooklyn) County Le- zion, one of the largest in the na- tionfl, has cited Hickey as an ideal leader for the organization and there IS little doubt that he will be retained If the deal is completed. Rickey is a member of the Legion himself.
