interruption
toChild
By Angelo Potri

Nobody needs to be told how
annoying Interruptions can be and
how destructive Of accomplish
ment. Grown people hate them
and become irritable when they
are repeated. But how many think
about this when they interrupt a
childs work or play? It Is just as
annoying to child as to q grown
up and just as destructive to good
work and to complete enjoyment
OF play. Yet grown people seem
to ignore this fact. So =,
Sonny gets home from school.
changes his clothes, eats his after
noon snack and asks. Want me
for anything, Map" mo. don't
think so" says his mother.
Sonny starts working on the
birdhouse he is making out in the
garage. He has the sides ready for
the floor and the roof and is just
about to fit them when he is called.
Sonny, Mrs. White says she has
some yarn she wants to give for
the Red Gross knitting. Run down
and get it, please"
Is that fair to Sonny?
That yarn could just as well
have stayed where 1t was until
some time when Sonny was going
that way. Mother did not think
about Sonny's concentration on
his work and his desire to have. 1t
ready for Scout meeting. She did
not give a thought to the value to
himself of what Sonny was doing.
She stopped him and sent him on
that errand as thoughtleSsly as
any child would interrupt parent
in the middle of his work.
It is the same with play. The
children start the game and some
one. suddenly thinking of some
thing wanted. calls the batter with
the words right away and hurry
up" This does not work toward
cheerful obedience, willing help
fulness or good will. Children
resent it and rightly so. They
are entitled to consideration.
When household is well regu-
lated there Is a time for every
thing. There Is a time for work
and time for play, a time for
rest and a time, too, for emergen-
cies. But the emergencies must
be real emergencies. Children
whose experience teach them that
their time is respected will rise to
meet emergency calls with cheer
fulness and good will. A little re-
gard for this will make for greater
harmony in the family.

'Papoose On the Squaw's Back.

Now that you know how the Bears

should know the Indian story OF
the Old Squaw! First find the
bright star that is at the bend
of the Dipper handle. This is
called the "Old Squaw"; on her
back, Is tiny star that they call
THE Papoose," AS soon as an
Indian boy is old enough to I'M
derstand. his mother takes him
out into the night when it is calm
and clear, and without any moon
or any bright lights near, and
says, MY child. yonder is the
Old Squaw, the second of the seven
stars: she is going over the top
of the hill: on her back she carries
her papoose. Tell me, my child
can you see the papoose?"
Then the little Redskin gazes
and from his mothers hand he
takes two pebbles. a big one and
little one, and he sets them
together on her palm, to show
how the two stars seem to him
When the mother is sure thai
he did see them clearly, she re-
joices. She goes to the fire ane
drops a pinch of tobacco into 1t
for incense to carry her message
then looking toward the sky she
say, Great Spirit! thank thee
that my child has the eyes o.
the hunter!"
These things are not new, c

CLEANING FEATHER PILLOWS

For Mrs. c. T. B.. Arlington,
re. cleaning feather pillows: This
method was used by my mother
and grandmother so 1t has been

/. Open pillow tick. 2. Remove
feathers, place in pillow case. tie
ends of case (pillow case) secure
" with Irvine or string. 8. If pos
sible lay pillow case on grass In
hot sun an entire day. 4. Shake
pillow tick. Wash in warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry. S. Turn pill

sealing wax or paraffin. Press over
with warm iron will make tick

back into clean pillow tick and
sew end up.
This method is simple and will
remove all odors from feather.
May I also add, to lay a baby's
mattress on grass will help re-
move any unpleasant odors from
same.

PARQUET FLOORS?
CRIB-TO-BED?
LINED OAK,

from Mrs. G. B., Washin0tonJ
We will soon move into a house
with parquet floors. I would like
to know how to clean and care
for them.
My 2-year-old will come out of
her crib in the near future to
make room for her baby sister.
Would some one offer suggestions
on how to keep her in bed when
she is put there. Has experience
taught that it would be more
worth while to get another crib?
I might say that she hates to
60 to bed and fights sleep until
she drops.
To the lady who requested in
formation on how to keep her
lined oak furniture light. I
cleaned my two-year-o old bedroom
suite with a mixture of one-fourth
turpentine and three-fourths water
something I would not care to
do more than once a year,. This
took off old wax and lightened
it some. I now clean and wax
it with oil Of lemon (from a
dime store) and find that the
oil doesn't darken the furniture
half as much as other wakes
I tried.
The cellulose sponge is also
grand to use for q home perman-
ent in place of cotton.

The most important thing in life
To every teen-age gal
Is to find a friend to call her own
A truly loyal pal.
One who will listen to your gripes
Bout men and losing weight.
A buddy who will show her love
BY getting you a date.
A real sweet kid to whom you'll tell
Your secrets, known to few.
And one who shares an interest in
The things you like to do.
A girl quite dear who's frank, and
fun.
To whom you'll never lie,
And one who you can be quite sure
Will never steal your guy.
So, look around you, high school
gals,
And pick your friends with care.
A good friend brings great peace
and Joy.
A false one brings despair.
