LOVES PERILOUS PATH

When Katherine Tries to Make Excuses TO Leave
The Crohams Alone, Faith Voices Her Protests

Rose With Decision
Right as rain" she said, and
then Katharine rose with decision.
I'm soul mate to Noel" she
said. Il have many duties, and a
pleasure, a letter to my husband.
So, I'm going to beg you to excuse
me. I'll go over to my own apart
ment, if l may"
We all knew why she was leaving
and making her excuses so plaus-
ible. The very soul of tact, she
wished to leave us as family to-
gether for our reunion, but knew
that she could not plead that excuse,
for we would have shouted her
down. AS it was, Junior and Roder-
lex protested emphatically.
"Why, Aunt Katharine, you can't
mean that" Junior said. We've
only just got here. We haven't had
time to say two words to you"
you'll have time for two million
when we get out to the farm" she
said inexorably, but smiling at
them. She reckoned without Faith,
however, for when she came to my
fathers chair, and kissed the child
good night, Faiths protests were
shrill and emphatic.
Will Be Lonesome
"Aunt Katharine!" she protested.
why do you have to go? shall be
so lonesome going to bed all by
myself. Granddad promised he'd
tuck me in, but he said then he'd
have to come back, because he's
been talking to me all the time, and
hasn't had time to talk to the boys
at ALL"
She drew a long breath-she
needed it-then rushed on, giving
Katharine no chance for rebuttal.
"And, you know, it's long past
my bedtime now" she said. ~ just
expect Nuns will send me to bed
any minute. And / snail be so lone
some, all by myself, while the rest
are talking, although"-she added
truthfully-"I am getting pretty
sleepy already. But if you could
just lie down with me, Aunt Katha-
rine, for teeny weeny little while,
l wouldn't be lonesome at ALL"
Katharine hesitated for an in
slant, then was lost as Faith slipped
down from her grandfather's lap,
and put her clinging arms around
my kinswoman's neck, as she
stopped to clasp the child she so
adores.
please, Aunt Katharine!" Faith
said softly.

LETS see what's left in the
garden" said to myself. l put on
my big hay hat, and basket on arm
and l went to find out. There were
plenty of yellow plum tomatoes,
some little red cherry tomatoes and
few large beef steaks; a few
radishes, the last of a third plant
ing; some carrots and turnips; two
sweet green peppers; and lots of
cucumbers. l hosed off the vege-
tables, piled them in my basket and

eyes, and moreover it's dunked.
The salad vegetables are arranged
individually in bowls, and small
glass of dressing is supplied for the
dunking."
"What kind of dressing?" he in
quired.
ANY kind you like, that's thick
enough to coat the vegetables.
Mayonnaise with lemon juice is
good. so is plain-cooked salad dress
ing, or Thousand Island or sour
cream sauce. French dressing is
usually too thin"
"But this Chef can make you a
nice thick French dressing that
would be, as you say, Just the

oats"
Sounds interesting; let's put
that recipe in the column too"
Now, there are few things l
want to say about finger salads. AS
they are made Of raw vegetables,
they must be absolutely clean and
free from bugs and dirt. Cut off
any unwanted leaves, and wash the
vegetables thoroughly in tepid
water containing salt. This will rout
out any insects. Then mix and rinse
in cold water, using spray at
tached to the faucet. Of you don't
have one put it on your shopping
list; big convenience for a few
cents.) Next crisp the vegetables in
the refrigerator; last of all, thin
peel or scrape if necessary and cut
them in serving pieces. Don't cut
them in advance, or their vitamins
will lose vitality.
Cucumbers are sliced thick; car
rots and turnips in strips. Plum
tomatoes are halved; whole toma-
toes cut in wedges; green peppers
cut in strips; lettuce cut so it can
be rolled with the fingers and
dunked too. Pile the lettuce in the
center of an attractive individual
bowl. Arrange the prepared vege-
tables around it; garnish with rad
ishes and dunk to your appetite's
content.

Near Sighted Child
Don't Treat Him as an Invalid

not get any worse. Dr.. Morgan
found, however, that If no treat
ment of-any sort is given, seven out
of ten children with nearsighted-
ness do not get progressively worse
A number Of different causes for
nearsightedness have been suggest
ed, such as heredity, or weakness
which has developed before birth;
changes in the shape of various eye
structures; a lack Of action OF
muscles that move the eye; increase
of pressure of fluids within the eye
ball, and lack of various vitamins
and minerals. 1t has been claimed
that bad reading habits contribute
to nearsightedness.
Proper Glasses
In treating the nearsighted child,
of course, he should be fitted with
proper glasses. In the experience OF
some physicians, it does not seem to
make any difference whether the
glasses are worn all the time or not.
It is suggested that the parents be
informed that the child may wear
the glasses when he wishes to see
objects at a distance, but that he
certainly should wear them when he
is reading. No other specia, type OF
treatment seems to be necessary ex-
cept the usual following Of good
health habits in regard to a we'll
balanced diet and getting plenty OF
rest and sleep, fresh air, and SUM-
shine.
There appears to be no need to
restrict reading or to stop any par
ticular activity.
In more than 24o patients who
were treated in this way by DR..
Morgan and observed over period
of seven or eight years, three out
of four showed only mild changes in
their condition; fact is, there was
very little tendency for the near
sightedness to become worse. 1t
would appear, then, that a child
who is nearsighted should be per-
mited to lead a normal life. He, Of
course, should be fitted with the
proper glasses and given instruc-
tons about wearing them. Such q
youngster should not be consid-
cred an invalid.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
F. B.: Is myocarditis dangerous
in a siXty-year old man?
Answer: Whether or not the con-
dition is dangerous depends upon
the amount of involvement and its
cause. This disorder is one in which
there is damage to the heart muscle.
1t may come from disturbance of
the circulation to the heart muscle.
1t is advisable to avoid fatigue
| and overstrain at all times.

Homework
Needn't
Be q Chore
By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Ph.D.

WHEN homework is mentioned it
has q wide variety of meanings to
different parents. To one parent it
may mean that child, age eight
or ten, must sit and work and worry
over doing a long list of arithmetic
problems or very hard words to
spell, with the parents participat-
ing in the orgy of hampering emo
tons involved. To another parent it
means long, late hours for the ado
lescent youth over several assign
ments which the parents won't let
him finish because she must have
sleep"
To still another parent homework
may mean school assignments which
the youth merely daydreams over,
always complains about and avoids
when he can escape parental pres
sure. To ever so many other par
ents homework means much for
them to do and to worry about, and
the youth rarely or never to do.
Companionship With Child
To an occasional parent, home
work may mean an opportunity to
enjoy companionship with the child,
especially at helping him find ma
terials relative to some very fasci-
mating work he has been doing at
school, which he desires to assem-
BILE, read and interpret.
Except in very few schools with
long school days providing for am
pie periods for study under expert
guidance, and for very feG iudl-
vidual pupils who are geniuses at
quick learning in the classroom,
some homework, above the fourth
or fifth grades, is, l think, desir-
able. The average pupil in junior
and senior high school hardly will
get on very well in a school of high
scholastic standards unless he does
some homework regularly. Nor will
he be well prepared with good habits
for serious study in case he goes on
to college. my bulletin parents
and the Child's Homework" may be
mad in stamped, addressed en-
velope,) Most of the Just criticism
of homework comes from the ex-
cessive amount of it for certain
students ard from the nature Of
the assignments, especially in the
grades.
No Regular Homework
Teachers would do well to make
little or no regular homework as
signments below the fourth and
fifth grades. If they do so earlier,
it should not require more than
twenty or thirty minutes an eve
ning-not long hard lists of aritt-
metic problems or anything else to
be handed in. Barring few special
assignments in junior and senior
high school, rarely should any writ
ten assignments be done at home to
be graded at the school Practically
all regular written work should be
done at school. Good teaching mott
Yates the learner in class to do
something outside of class in a way
that he must carry with him what
he learns in his head instead of
what his parents or classmates have
done for him to carry in his hands.
When your child begins to have
regular homework assignments, try
to see to it that he is home on nights
before school and goes at this work
at a regular time and place. Stu
dents who like to get better results
from their efforts at study might
find help in my bulletin, Tips for
Students" to be had in a stamped,
addressed envelope. This bulletin

Answering Parents Questions

@. Why do you advise against
refusal to talk to the child, or
threatening to withhold your love
from a child, as punishment for his
wrongdoing?
A. Because to do so is infantile,
and denies to the child what he
needs most at the time. Besides,
such procedure, while at first very
potent, tends later to lose the effect
desired.

@. What should the parent do
when the teen-age son or daughter
constantly drives the family car
very recklessly?
A. Take away the privilege of
driving for definite period.

AS Child Grows

In some cases it is true that as
the child grows older the nearsight-
edness gets worse. Some doctors
even go so far as to advise that chill
dren with severe degrees of near
sightedness be taken out of school
and allowed no reading for period
of one year. They found that when
this was done, half the children did

By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

THERE are a great many false
notions about nearsightedness, espe-
cially the one that child with this
condition will gradually become
blind. l am glad to be able to assure
parents who have been frightened
in this way that they have nothing
of this kind to fear.
As matter of fact DR.. A. Lloyd
Morgan is even more reassuring. He
believes that the near-sighted child
should not be thought of as having
terrible eye disease and that, above
all, he should be allowed to live a
normal life instead of being treated
as al invalid.

WeIIes Says Military
Guides Foreign Policy

The military viewpoint is deter
mining American foreign policy
Sumner Welles, former Unidersecre-
tary of State, said last night at q
dinner in the Hotel Washington OBJ
serving the Inauguration of broad
casting service on Station WCFM.
"A psychology is being created in
which our Government is thinking
primarily of force as the only effec-
tive instrument of police and in
which the average citizen is rapidly
ceasing to think of our foreign rela-
tions except in terms of war;" Mr.
WelleS said.
He said American foreign policy
is lin the last analysis" being de-
termined by the six members of the
National Security Council "of whom
one has spent almost his entire life
as a professional soldier and, of the
rest, all but one speak for, and in
the name of the armed services"
Members of the National Security
Council in addition to the President
are the Secretaries of State, De-
fense, Army, Navy and Air, and the
chairman of the National Security
Resources Board who is Arthur M
Hill, former busline executive.

Elisa Londi, Stage and Film
Actress and Novelist, Dies
Mother Reported
To Be Daughter
Of Austrian Empress
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

KINGSTON, N. Y. Oct. 21.-
ELISA Landi, Venice-born actress
and novelist, died of cancer to-
day at the age of 43.
Miss Landi, repeatedly the grand
daughter OF Empress Elizabeth of
Austria, died in Kingston Hospital,
where she had been a patient for 10
days. Her illness previously had
been described by her physician only
as chronic condition"
Dr.. Kenneth Lefever, who an
nounced the cause Of death, said the
actress never knew she had can
Ger"
Her condition, however, had been
known TO her family for nine
months, he said.
He said that her husband, Curtiss
Thomas. who was with her when
she died. had done a wonderful job
in keeping it from her."
Miss Landi was an artist Of null
tiple facets, equally successful as
motion picture and stage star, as a
novelist, as linguist, as pianist
and as singer.
, She was born December 6. 1904, in
Venice, Italy. Reputedly she was
the granddaughter of Empress Eliz-
abeth of Austria, but with a reti-
cence rare in actresses she always
refused to confirm or deny the story
Miss Landi's mother, however,
wrote book entitled 1.-The Secret of
an Empress" 1t was published in
this country by Houghton Muffin
Co. in 1915.
According to the book, she was
born to Empress Elizabeth in 1882,
when the empress, who was As, was
living in Normandy. 1t was given
out, the memoir said, that the
empress was injured in fall from
horseback and Emperor Franz Josef
fastened incognito to her side. The
empress decided, the author said,
to keep this child from the court.
Placed With Family.
She was first placed with bank
er's family in an apartment above
the shop of the Empress dressmaker
where the child could be visited
without causing gossip. At 9 she
was set up in a house of her own
with a housekeeper and governess.
She used to stay at Monte Carlo
hotel and meet the Empress in the
park for walks. When she was 16
this world came to an end. The
Empress was aSsassinated at Geneva
by an anarchist, September 10,
1898.
When she was 20 Miss Landi's
mother married DR.. Richard
Kuehnelt. He was the father of her
two children, Antony Francis and
Elizabeth Marie Christine (Elissa).
He failed in his career of gentle
man farmer and they migrated to
Montreal. Canada, where they sep
arated. She went to Victoria, VAN

two children. She worked as a cook

General of Illinois, said the State
had made a mistake" in enacting
the law.
The majority opinion approved
the Illinois requirement as to the
number and geographical distribu-
ton of names on nominating petit
tionS.
"It is clear, the opinion said,
that the requirement of 200 sig
natures from at least so counties
gives to the voters of the less popu-
lous counties of Illinois the power
completely to block the nomination
of candidates whose support is con-
fined to geographically limited areas.
But the State is entitled to deem
this power not disproportionate. OF
Is 900 signatures required, only $500,
or SO per cent, need be distributed;
the remaining 81 per cent may be
obtained from single county. And
Cook County, the largest contains
not more tnan 50 per cent OF the
States voters.
Rutledge Writes Separate Opinion.
"It is allowable State policy to
REQUIRE that candidates. for State
wide office should have support not
limited to a concentrated locality
This is not unique policy"
While the author of the majority
opinion was not indicated, the Chief
Justice ordinarily writes such ex-
plantations of the majority's views.
Justice Rutledge agreed with the
ma ajority, but wrote separate con-
curing opinion. He said to order
the Progressive Party on the ballot
at this late date would create "the
gravest risk" of disrupting the Illi-
nois election procedure.
Justice Douglas said in his dis
sent that he thought the 1885
change in the Illinois election code,
as applied in the case of the Pro-
gressive Party, violates the equal
protection clause of the Federal
Constitution.
The new election regulation, he
said, discriminates against the res
idents of the populous counties in
favor of the rural section, and
therefore lacks the equality to
which the exercise Of political rights
is entitled"
