IN PORTLAND, ORE, a few
L weeks ago, some high school
girls formulated six rules for
their mothers. This turning of the
tables was regarded as highly
amusing and endearingly saucy
at first, but in the end the moth
ers had to confess that the hints
for their behavior were help
full and probably will lead to a
better understanding between
these particular mothers and
girls.
Any such understanding tightens
home ties, equalizes the levels of
the two generations and has good
effect for all time. So my congratu-
lations to the girls of Portland's
Lincoln high school.
These, briefly, are the rules for
mothers: They must give up their
gushy manners when meeting the
girls new friends. They must take
telephone messages more respect
fully and never eavesdrop. They
must avoid partially toward other
members of the family, especially
younger brothers. They must refrain
from excessive demonstrations of af-
lection in public and from praise
that is intended only to build up
competitive spirit. And lastly, they
must not attempt to use current
slang.
All these seem to me to be good
suggestions. Nothing is more en-
barrassing to girl, who takes her
friendships seriously, than to have
her mother all coyness, effusion
and playful hints. This is one way
to destroy the daughters initiative
in making new friends and create
in her shyness and awkward
ness, she didn't start with.
The rule for the telephone mes
sages and the eavesdropping ought
to hold good for everyone, young
and old. Praising one girl in the
hope OF improving another is an
annoying custom, if only because
the listener sees through it and is
bored by it to the depth of her
being
Jean has such lovely manners"
says Mother slyly. Dear me, only
15-five months older than you are,
darling, and such composure and
such lovely manners"
Mother Inks Daughter
Phyllis, listening, can hardly keep
from shouting "Oh, shut up"
Mothers praise of her schoolmate
isn't going to improve her manners;
the careful example Mother sets her
will not have much effect But let
Phyllis aunt from New York or
some movie queen assume that nice
ness of action and speech, that con-
sideration and gentlenesS which we
call nice manners and Phyllis is
suddenly a transformed girl, while
Mother complacently observes that
at last her admonitions are having
some effect.
AS for public demonstrations of
affection, land showing baby pic
lures" these are among the thou
sand things that embarrass girls be-
cause they make them conspicuous.
To direct attention to the young is
to destroy their own desperate eff
forts to be like the herd, to be just
one Of the group. Any girl of l6
would rather have a cheap dress
that is like those of the other girls
than the eXtravagant and striking
garment Mother scrimps and saves
to buy.

Care of Felt Hats

Care of Felt Hats
To remove the dirt and dust
from felt hat, rub the entire sur
face with fine sandpaper. Art gum
may be used, too. A rubber sponge
also is excellent for cleaning felt
hats but is more satisfactory for
brushing wooden suits, coats and
dresses.

tached to the wall that can be let
down to use, folded down when not
in use.
Choose Fabrics
That Clean Easily
To keep in step with cleanliness,
choose homespun or seersucker
fabrics that do not need ironing.
These fabrics are colorful and deco
rative but are easily tubbed and
need no ironing when they are fold
ed neatly when run through the
wringer.
Sometimes when girls are in their
very feminine stage, they want
their rooms laced and ruffled to the
hilt. If there is a regular family
conference held on this matter, as it
should be, it can be explained that
mother cannot afford the time for
ironing these things and the girl
may have them If she will promise
to do the ironing. If the girl still
wants the ruffles. let her have them.
II the boys rooms are to be ex-
tremely informal, oilcloth Grapes
may be used as they simply need
to be wiped with damp cloth.
How to Furnish Room
For Two Daughters
Frequently when a room must be

argument as to the furnishings.
especially if the girls are exact OPP
posites in taste. To prevent family
squabbles it's best for mother to
step in as moderator and iron the
situation out as automatically as
possible.
If you can get the girls to agree
on one or two items. the problem
can be solved. If one girl is tail

Fertilize roses in early Septem-
Der. After a good rain or thor
ough watering apply 2 level Ia
blespoons of nitrate of soda or
sulphate of ammonia around the
base of each plant. This is done
by removing the mulch and re-
placing it after the fertilizer is
applied.

Fruit Notes
Fall planting of strawberries is
recommended especially for the
southern part of the state and is
reasonably successful in the rest
of the state. Thorough prepare
ton of the soil several weeks be-
fore planting is essential in OBJ
tanning good results. Make fall
paintings about October Is in
| North Mississippi and November
/ in South Mississippi. For home
use plant Klonmore, Konvoy or
Klondike in South Mississippi and
Blakemore, Suwanee, Fairmore or
Klondike in North Mississippi.
Set plants in the fall about 10
to IL inches apart on A foot beds.
Apply 1912 pounds Of a complete
fertilizer to each 100 feet of row
in the center of the bed about 10
days before setting plants. Set
plants just deep enough to allow
the crown to be level with the
soil after planting. Order plants
early.
Thin strawberries in the matted
row during September and Oc-
tober in order to develop strong
plants for heavy production next
spring. Leave plants about 6
inches apart and the matted row
about 18 inches wide. Thoroughly
clean out grass and weeds at the
time of thinning.
Fertilize strawberries in the
matted row after thinning. Apply
a complete fertilizer such as 6-8-4
or 5-10-5 at the rate of about 400
pounds per acre. For small patch
es apply at the rate of 5 pounds
to each 100 feet of row.. Apply
the fertilizer as a top-dressing
| only when the plants are dry to
prevent burning the leaves.
Plant cover crops in orchards in
late September or early October,
Austrian peas, hairy vetch and
wild winter peas are good
throughout the state. Blue lupine
is fine in the extreme southern
part of the state. Consult your

Smelling and Bombing
Turn Hawaiian Island
Into Land Of Death
By the Assoeiotsd Press

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 16-Ka-
hoolawe sits as an island Of death
in the Hawaiian chain. For seven
years ships and planes have raked
and blasted 1t with virtually every
thing except the atomic bomb.
The tiny 45-square-mile patch OF
lava rock and sand west OF Maui
Island is a target area visited only
by foolhardy adventures ana un-
fortunate castaways.
So many unexploded shells and
bombs infest the little spit Of rock
that even military men hesitate to
land. Inspections when necessary
are made from the air.
Civilian aircraft are barred from
flying within a mile Of Kahoolawe's
highest point. Surface craft must
skirt its barren shores by mile.
The Navy warmed up its guns on
Kahoolawe before nearly every ma.
jor Pacific battle. The spot, still o
bull's-eye for the Navy, Marine
Corps and Air Force, maintains its
reputation as the worlds most shot
at island. A dummy airport and
planes are prime targets.
Named for the red clouds of duss
that blow from 1t, the island filh

ishment, a penal colony, haven for
smugglers and a parched ranch
where wild goats starved out beef
