Arts Hold Interest

Industrial Arts, under a we'll

effective means OF creating interest

Industrial arts instruction is most
valuable in avoiding and reducing
juvenile delinquency by developing
interest in worth while activities.

Special Education
FRANCIS Y LORD

The shortage of trained teachers
for handicapped children during the
war has been just as acute as 1t
has been for regular teachers.
Throughout this period the Horace
H. Rackham School of Special Ed
ucation has operated its full train
ing program. The enrolment dur
ing the summer schools declined
slightly. During the war, calls
for teachers have come to the col
lege from all states in the Union.
In recent weeks calls have come
from California, Florida, North Da-
kota. Oregon. New York, Georgia
and Virginia.
During the present summer a
full program OF training is being
offered. Graduate and undergrad
uate students are enrolled from
many states in the Union. The
Board OF Education Of Dallas,
Texas, has sent four teachers for
special training and the School
for the Deaf at Saskatoon, Saskat-
chewan, have three teachers here
for such work.

In the fall of 1871 the college an
nounced a degree curriculum in
Occupational Therapy. The pro-
gram was initiated with the assist
ance of the Ypsilanti State Hos
pital and the University Of Michi-
gan Hospital. Sophomore students
were accepted the first year so the
first class graduated in the spring
of 1914. This group OF students
have now completed the ten months
OF required internship and have
been certificated. They have scat

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am contemplaJ-
ing marriage with a widow who has
three children, one 6, one 10 and
one 20. I have daughter who is
l8 and I fear trouble between the
two girls. am past middle age and
my flancee Is considerably younger
What would be the chances of hap
pineSS of such a match? I could not
stand to live in a perpetual round
OF arguments about and among the
children. A PERPLEXED MAN.
Answer-If you don't enjoy family
rows. would certainly advise you
not to marry until those 20 and 18
year old girls have settled them
selves and are out of the picture. If
you bring them in contact under
the same roof, you will have per-
petual domestic scrap.
For your daughter will naturally
feel that as it is your money that is
being spent, she has right to the
best of everything. And your wife
will consider that one of the things
that she married you for was to give
her daughter the pretty dresses and
luxurieS she couldn't afford, and she
will be set on her girl getting the
most. and there will be jealousy and
strife and you will be ground be-

inquiries which I could have an
swered and am always eager to see
the answers printed as they are
sometimes SO much better than my
way. Last week a lady asked for a
recipe for caramel cake. I have a
recipe which my family thinks is
delicious:
One cup dark brown sugar, u cup
white sugar Gall brown can be used
II desired, u cup shortening. 2
eggs, u teaspoon soda in table
spoons sour milk Cor buttermilk)
"a cup sweet milk, salt, 2 teaspoons
baking powder, cups cake flour.
and teaspoon vanilla. Put together
IN order given and beat until very
smooth. Bake in square pan in
moderate oven about As minutes.
To make the icing I use the rest
OF the pound of brown sugar. Put
on to boil with q water. Let boil
to soft ball stage and remove from

teaspoons butter When cool beat
thoroughly. Add confectioners sugar
until it is proper consistency to

Here are the instructions for
playing Michigan. You need a full
52-card pack and from another
pack, ace of hearts, king of dia-
mondS, queen of spades and jack of
clubs. These are called Doodle
cards and are placed face up on the
table. Before dealing the dealer
places four or more chips, as he
wishes, upon the Doodle cards. Then
he deals, one at a time, beginning
with one extra hand, then dealer,
then to other players in turn to the
left. The object of the game is to
get rid of all cards in your hand
before your opponents and to play
cards corresponding to Doodle cards.
Player to dealers left plays lowest
card he has of any suit he wishes.
He plays as many as he can on it in
sequence. The next player plays as
far as he can, etc. When a suit can
no longer be played the one who
played the last card starts a new
suit the same way as the first one
and the play continues. The Sc
quence is often stopped because
the next card is in the dead hand.
In such case the player who has
the next card can continue the suit
when his turn comes.
If during a play, player gets rid
of card like one of the Doodle
cards he takes the chips on that
card. Any chips remaining on
Doodle cards at the end of the play
carries over for the next play. Pen
alties: Should player. after max
ing a stop, lead from the same suit

let the back hair down and be sure
the door is closed and no male ear
is pressed against the keyhole, be-
cause the intimate discussion of per-
fume is definitely a woman's secret.
A good many centuries ago, a very
smart girl by the name of Cleopatra
made an important discovery in the
art of pulling the emotional wool
over the eyes of some very astute
gentlemen. One of her clever de-
vices in accomplishing this was her
use of lovely fragrance to create a
fascinating illusion of vastly in
triguing femininity. What her favor
ite perfume was and just how she
used it, we do not know, but her re-
suits are written in the pages of
history.
Just the other day, something
happened that definitely had bit
of the Cleopatra touch. A most
eligible bachelor . handsome and
amply endowed with the well-known
worldly goods was never seen
about town with any girl who didn't
qualify as gorgeous doll. Business
took him to San Francisco for sew
eral months, and 10 and behold. he
came back with a bride. Naturally
we were all agog for glimpse OF
the super beauty who had corralled
this matrimonial prize. Imagine
our w-dropping astonishment on
meeting the lady of his choice to
find her-well, to be honest, down.

echo Of you. Another perfumed
amulet in your bag will take care Of
your hanky and all the little junk
you have in 1t. Now for your furs
s.. you really shouldn't spray per-
fume into the fur because 1t will
cling like mad and you won't be able
to change your fragrance as you
should occasionally to be more in
triguing. One clever fur designer has
provided a perfume pocket in her
coats to hold-a little perfume ANU
let, but If your coat doesn't have
such a pocket, simply tuck the anlu-
let in the regular pocket. (By the
way, when you make those cute little
amulets, whip up at least a dozen
of them /. !. they are absolutely in
dispensable)
Now for your homework 81. open
your closets and spray mist of per-
fume on the scalloped edges of the
padding on your hat shelf-r1ever
mind If little of it gets in your
hats You will be surprised how
little it takes to keep your closets as
fragrant as a flower garden and how
utterly delectable it is to open the
door. And here is trick for those
little amulets you have been wear
ing-keep them working for you by
tucking them into your dresser
drawers among your hankies, gloves
and nighties. Then, for your own
unalloyed joy. tuck one into your
pillow slip and see how enhancing
the fragrance is in the dark.
There is a charming legend that

said she constantly sprayed perfume
into the tapestried panels of the

BABY PROBLEM

Our 15-month-old son is now quite

down the shade, to his chest of
drawers and pulls things off the top,
to his bathinette and eats his boric

Taking the rollers off the bed did
not help-he still travels. Can any
one give me an idea what to do
about it? Also do any of you read
