the poem called Because It Is

Balch and introduced by Sammy
Kaye on his Sunday program No

learn whether there has been q
recording made, and also where ]
may locate the poem. The month
of November has great sentimental
value for my fiancee and myself
since we were both born on the
same day IN November. Any clue

From Mrs. d. r. O.. Washington. ]
Your column is always SO interest,"
ing with its variety Of information
and advice. At least I have q sug-
gestion to mothers of youngsters
with out-grown snow suits. I made
q cute Eisenhower jacket" recently
by cutting of the lower part of the
snow suit just where the last but
ton ended. With the material in
the legs. / cut bands about inches
wide to use folded over at the bot
tom Of the jacket. / had the seams
of the bands match the underarm
seams and gathered the body part
just little to make the band fit
tightly, then worked two button
holes on the band and we now have
a dandy little play jacket for the
second years wear.
Hope the idea may appeal to other
mothers who like to get all the wear
they can out Of expensive baby gar
ments!

From Mrs. G. Il, W1ShtHgt01.)
Replying to Mrs. r. L. WIS ques-
tion about suffering. This appears
to be quite q common complaint
with children of that age. It seems
usually to be due to the child's rap
idly increasing perception and de-
sire to express himself. His ideas
come faster than the words for ex-
preston and have noticed it among
q number of nursery school children
and one of my own children went
through similar spell. Since 1t is
q nervous complaint, try to keep
from paying any attention to it..
without having his attention drawn
to his suffering he should work out
Of 1t without difficulty in the course
Of time. II it disturbs you greatly
it would certainly help to talk with
your doctor about 1t, just for your
own peace Of mind. In the mean
time make no comment, or In any
way attempt to hurry him when he
shutters, and don't add to his frus-
tration by supplying the word he is
trying to. say. Good luck.

did our best for two months to

"THANK YOU" AND A PLEA;
AFRICAN VIOLET?

from Mrs. w. H. c., WGstington.)
There are so many lovely, kind
hearted people In the world. just
waiting to be shown where they can
help, and prestol 1t Is done. A case
In point is this: One Of the story
telling ladies" of the pediatric wards
at Gallinger Hospital, asked the
nurse in charge If the children
might have Halloween party. Of
course they might. Three minutes
afterward, in the Volunteers Room
In thes Medical Building, a nurses
aide asked if we women knew of any
project a Girl Scout troop might do.
oh yes, one of us did,. Help outfit
the Halloween party! Very shortly,
the leader of the troop, which, by
the way, is Troop 10 Of Chevy
Chase called up the chairman of
the STORY tellers," and got a list
of things that her little charges
might make. 1t resulted in about
two dozen of everything they sent.
cute little caps, bright red apples
on strings and delicious ginger
bread men galore. Brightly deco
rated Halloween napkins completed
the picture.
The last of this chain OF kind,
generous acts was the party itself.
Owing to the sudden illness of the
chairman, the son Of one of the
committee, who has an office in the
new Interior Building and is busy
young man, together with a young
girl who only that Wednesday had
had her first storytelling hour in
the wards, took charge of the party;
and, from all we hear, it was great
success. The children were eager
and delighted the hour and half
the party lasted.
Because the RCH so richly ex-
emplifies the spirit of helpfulness
and good cheer, We want to express
through its columns our thanks and
gratitude to the Girl Scouts and
their leader who made the party
an assured success.
There is to be Christmas party,
of course. Any games, old or new,
which would interest children from
years of age to IL; doll clothes of
all sizes, dolls, toy animals, crayons,
molding clay, coloring books, little
airplanes-well, just anything to
make little convalescent children
happy, will be gladly received. Send
either to Volunteers Room in the
Medical Building at Gallinger, or

Please, will some one tell me in,
what kind of soil to plant new

(Fron Mrs. E. L. r., Washington. J
My African violet has developed
q mold on top of the soil and small

now and then. When the wood will
hold no more oil, you are finished.
AS simple as that. Give it one
final brisk rubbing and you will
have a finish found on the most
expensive antiques. And, once
again, there is no short cut for
this process.
AS for the other finish-a friend
of mine uses wax very successfully.
Apply a light coat of ordinary wax
every day for about two weeks.
Brush it in thoroughly with soft
brush. If your piece Is table wax
the top only about once a week for
a while. Unable to obtain hnseed
oil, used this method and found
it most satisfactory even though
the patina produced by the oil
process is not reproduced. An
antique dealer once recommended
simoniz for the table top and
find it wonderful On the other
hand, some people maintain wax
eventually dries out the wood, but
SO far I haven't noticed it.
One word OF caution, 90 not,
under any circumstances, use
varnish. This is a lazy way of fin
ishing and gives furniture cheap,
unprofessional look. If you are
finishing a chair, clear shellac
sparingly applied with cloth on
the rungs and legs and then waxed
produces a good effect.
This is a messy business but bet
ter than using a brush. If shellac
is applied too thickly it turns white.
wouldn't advise using it on a sur
face that gets much use.
One last thing: On difficult legs
or carved surfaces it's simpler to use
rag to clean away the old varnish
instead of trying to do it with the
putty knife. Also, when rubbing
with the garnet paper, rub with the
grain.
hope these instructions are not
too lengthy or confusing. ! do hope
YOU are successful, refinishing is
| quite simple. It requires more pa
tience and muscle than anything
else.

New Revised
Bible Ready
ForPubIic
Translation Made
n Simple Style,
Seine In Dispute

New York. FEB. i2-tUPl--A new
translation Of the New Testament
OF the Bihle--written In q simple
and familiar style and adhering
closely 10 the original oreek-was
ready today for publication.
The new work Is titled the Re-
vlsed Standard Version and ls an
authorised revision Of the American
Standard Bible Of le0i, which was q
revision OF the familiar i0ii King
james Version.
Publication has been timed to CO.
incsde with the opening In colum-
bus, OF the annual meeting Of the Inc
ternational Council Of Religions I'd.
ucatlon, which Is associated with 20
OF the, major Protestant denomina-
tons OF the United states and Can
ada. A committee Of scholars ap.
pointed by the council has been at
work on the revision for several
years.
watched for By Students
Appearance Of the work has been
eagerly anticipated among Bible
students. Il will be followed In
about four years by q new transla.
ton OF the Old Testament.
In the new version, much Of the
musical language az the King James
version--tile style Of which has been
the inspiration OF many great writ
ers--has been eliminated. However,
the translators have sought greater
accuracy In conveying the meaning
Of the scriptures, and at the same
time have attempted TO remedy
much Of the mechanical, literal
wording which which marked the
1901 Standard Revision.
In the New Work, the familiar
passage In Luke ala, "Olory to God
In the highest, and on earth peace,
goodwill toward men," becomes:
GLORY to God In the highest, and on
earth peace among men with whom
he is pleased.
Poetry introduced
Lyrical passages are printed as
poetry. not In prose form. Spoken
sentences are inclosed in quotation
marks. Numbered verses are console
dated into paragraphs. VAST was
changed to was" Lowest" becomes
loves" thou" is changed TO you"
and thine" to your" The mote
that is in thy brothers eye" becomes
a "speck". and the Widows mite"
becomes a copper coin. In telling of
the death OF JsSus. gave up the
ghost Is changed to gave up his
spirit"
The passage from Luke 2:e-l4,
considered BY many as one OF the
most moving ever written. which
starts: And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock
by night :" becomes. land that
region there were shepherds out In
the field. keeping watch over their
flock by night"
The new version Is meticulous in
correcting small errors. The misprint,
"straighten q gnat" (AGatthew 2S:2D
Is changed to what originally was in
tended: "straining out gnat." Some
Of the King James grammar Is
changed-"but whom say ye that
