MAKING LIFE COUNT
BY Mrs. Minnie Mayo Nelson

Are you making life count? Are
you making life worthwhile? Are
you doing well the task that is be-
fore you? What is your life? Are
you filling life with things that
are noble and true? Are you just
going alont with life? Just drift
ing. YOU CAN MAKE LIFE
COUNT! Remember it is solely up
to you. If success is to be yours,
you must make it so. The thought
to be conveyed here doesn't mean
in the sense of dollars and cents,
but I mean to make a life that
goes beyond itself. Too many per-
sons are misled by thinking that
someone stands in their way keep
ing them from making life really
count. But that is not so. No one
can stop you from living life that
touches the lives of others for
good. That's making life count.
You can make life count by what
you do, will not only help you but
help those about you-smile, a
warm hand-shake, speaking kindly
to persons about you. Sometimes
just little pat on the back will
change the whole course of per-
sons life for good. That is making
life count. We must keep an open
mind. We must be willing to search
for facts that will enable us to
make the most of life.
We must give more attention to
the spiritual, for herein lies our
happiness. Herein we can obtain
the best of which life has to offer.
If fellow has all the money his
heart desires and has not a friend,
he is still barren, and unhappy. Let
us think for a moment! If every
one was mindful of the other fell
lows welfare by helping him when
called upon, this old world of ours
by far would be a better place to
inhabit. When I say help, mean
to convey the idea of giving one a
chance to make his own way in
life.
For one to really make life count
he must give up the spirit of sell
fishness. Some of us are far too
selfish to make life count; some
too jealous. When we have any
chance to do good, we sometimes
fail to do it for no apparent reas-
on what-so-ever, other than pure
selfishness; afraid that some one
might get little more than what
we might have. You cannot make
life count entertaining an evil spir-
it which will impede the progress
of your fellow man. And such a
spirit will keep one from rising to
heights that are so noble. Shame
on you, attempting to hold your
brother back.
Don't you know that you cannot
push one upward without going
upward yourself? Make life count
by aiding your fellow man when
the chance comes your way. You
will be great; and without money,
too. And that, my friends, is Max
ing Life Count.

the facial skin. Constant use, ac-
cording to Nancy D'Alesandro,
helps protect and retain the skin
texture. It conditions your skin
and leaves 1t feeling dewy and soft.
This beauty aid is to be used
with the cosmetics you have on
hand. The formula helps elimi-
nate the artificial look of cosmetics
and the resulting appearance is
one that Is fresh and soft. The
vaporizing process acts as a safe
guard for your makeup in addi-
ton to helping you to a glowing
and lovely complexion.

amazing new beauty aid and to
demonstrate it for you, will be

SELLING WRITING.

i1IOUk MF o. lW ~ 0'S W NctttetkOfs"
Marketing writing on 4 free
lance basis is such vast subject
that volumes upon volumes have
been written about it. And If
you are an unestablished writer
there is no way to market your
material except on a free-lance
basis. Reputable agents are not
interested in handling yeur ma
terial until you have succeeded in
selling a considerable amount Of
material on your own.
Jack Woodford has written sew
eral books on the subject of writ
ing. and I am particularly IA
miliar with his book on Writing
and Selling" I think you will
find this book especially helpful
in answering most of the ques-
tions confronting the writing
novice. Also a must for free-lance
writer's Is the annual publication.
Writers Market" I suggest you
wait a few weeks to buy the 1850
issue, due out some time in Janu-
ary, since the book is relatively
expensive and becomes obsolete
during the year. If you are really
going in for writing in big way,
a subscription to the monthly
magazine Writer'S Digest" Is al
most as necessary as Writers
Market"
Briefly, here are few pointers:
/. Ii is all but impossible to
write first and sell later. BY that
I mean, it is necessary to first
pick the publication which most
nearly suits your particular writ
ing style, thoroughly study that
magazine for general policy. in
terest slant. taboos, etc. Then
write your story for that maga-
zine. 81
2. If you wish to sell an article,
query first. Do not send the man
uscript, but send a letter briefly
outlining the article with per-
haps a paragraph or two of the
finished article to show your
writing style. The reason for this
Is that almost all magazine
articles are staff written. Unless
you have something extremely
unusual, you are wasting your
postage and the editors time by
sending in the completed script.
3. Need we say never submit a
hand-written script. Type it
double space with an inch mar
gin all around: your full name and
address, in the upper left-hand
corner Of the title page. the ac-
curate count Of words in the up
per right hand corner; the title
centered about one third of the
way down; and start your story
Tor article or whatever) a few
spaces down from that. In other
words, no separate title page.
Your last name and the page
number should appear in the up
per right hand corner of each
succeeding page d.e., Smith page
%. Be sure to write 1.-THE End"
or 30 at the end Of your
script. Do not fasten the pages
together. Don't worry. they won't
get lost. We hate to be pessi-
mistic,l but always. inclose a
stamped. self-addressed envelope

postage for the return Of your
script. Address it to the editor

Here's something to really get
steamed up about.
The old world has contributed
so much to our American way OF
life. This is particularly true in
many customs, fashions, foods,
and now in the field of beauty.
Handed down beauty secrets
have been closely guarded for
hundreds of years by many women
who wouldn't dream of even let

DESPERATE MOTHER.

(From Mrs. H. P. H., WASHINGTON
I should think you would be
desperate if you keep your chill
dren in. A normal child requires
at least six hours of heavy exer-
else a day. and if one or two more
hours can be spent outdoors, the
likelihood OF having cold is very
small. (This information was
given me by pediatrician of wide
experience
My two are Z and AZ now. They
have spent much time outdoors
from the age of one month. After
graduating from the carriage they
began walking and then came
wagons and tricycles. We put up
a swing when sonny was az and
he learned to pump at once. Sister
learned even earlier. We then
got a good gym set With ladders.
and continued to use the sand box
we acquired when one was 212.
I took both to the park every
morning, sometimes knitting or
mending as kept my eye on them.
When son was 4 he entered a
cooperative outdoor nursery
school. There are many singing
games suitable for outdoor use, as
they involve running, galloping.
etc. Consult MacCarteney's
Songs for the Nursery School"
for help on this) Sister entered
cooperative nursery at 8 and is
still there, playing with children
her own age outdoors. We go
walking In the rain with raincoats
and boots, we use sleds when it
SHOWS. We 60 on nature walks and
picnics when it is warm enough.
Since we spend so much time
outdoors a rainy day holds no
terrors for us. We save certain
toys. blocks. some musical instru-
ments. Phonograph records. sto-
ries, helping make cookies, draw
ing pictures, working with clay
are only few Of the things to do.
A set of open boxes that nest
inside each other are wonderful
for trains, boats, circus seats, etc.
I have almost never had to make
suggestion. I simply provide ma
terials and my children play with
them. We had measles ana
chicken pox one spring, and scar
let fever the next spring and the
child who was well played in the
yard without asking for extra
attention. the one who was Ill
played with cars and small blocks
in bed and, of course, read to
both.
I hope this will help you. and
that you will find fewer colds as
you spend more time outdoors.

paid by slicks are so high that
everybody wants to get into the
act. Such writer's as w. Somer-

Louis Bromfield, Agatha Christie,

buck competition like that? Bet

PIECES OF FELT.
(From Mrs. P. M. c.. Alexandria,
To Mrs. w. r.: A couple of years
ago I wrote to several felt COM
panies concerning scraps. I
finally bought from Central Felt
Co., Inc. 2426 West Twenty-flfth
street New York.
It is sold by the pound, and you
really get quite q lot for your
money. There were very few
bright reds or yellows, however.
Mostly green. brown and black.
But some Of the pieces were large
enough for me to make some tams.
I thought that If ever did it
again I would buy half yard of
some bright color to go with the
dark ones. OF course, the next
order might have been full of
colors.
