Tips for Teens
Some Hints
On Dates
And Cars
By Kite TurmelI

"How can I get my family to
.let me go out in Q car with q
5datep" girls fret. How can I
convince parents that I am to be
trusted as . driver?" boys ask.
First you need the skill and
will to drive well. Many driving
classes are offered as civic prof.
ects, and in over 5000 American
high schools. In some areas, this
Is o must" to be taken by girls
as well as boys before gradu-
alton, preferably in the tenth
grade.
Let's listen to what girls and
boys say in driving-class forums:
You'd be surprised how many
kids at our schools talk against
crazy drivers" says Judy. Some
are such zombies that nobody
would want to ride with them"
Most boys could be better
drivers than girls If they wanted
TO-" Mary swings in. But boys
should slow down q bit, keep
their minds on the driving,
their hands on the wheel. 1t
makes a girl plenty mad If her
date takes his eyes off the road
to look at another girl walking
down the street. Also, that one
armed driving stuff doesn't go.
Girls who are learning to drive,
too. know what 1t takes to drive
we'll"
Sure, the boy-driver should
be smooth" boys agree. But
some girls expect too much. For
instance, they ask silly questions
Ike DO you love me really2'
Then they sulk If you don't
answer when you are trying to
get out Of q traffic jam"
There are ways to combine
safety and courtesy. Once you
know the combination, it IS
easier to qualify for date-driving.
So you learn and practice
enough about driving to pass
tests; get your permit. You dis
euss what you have studied, you
tell your ideas about safe driving.
II need be, you invite doubling
parents to take q ride with you
to demonstrate your ability.

Example:
Should the boy open the car
door for the girl?"
Yes, If practical. It is correct
for the boy to open the door and
help her in and out of the car.
She enters first. He exits first
to assist her. But there are
times when it is safer for him
to slide into the drivers seat,
first, from the curb side. If he
stops the car to allow her out in
traffic, before parking, he might
have to keep his hands on the
wheel for a quick getaway. II
he can, he reaches across to open
the door, If he can't, he says,

No Idle DAYS

workers should have opportuni-
ties for learning in the fields in
which they hope to work when
they are ready to embark on
careers.
It is on this problem that
parents and relatives can be Of
service by discussing it with the
boys and girls, advising them
and leading them toward re-
warding experiences. In this
teachers have a great opportu-
nifty. There is always some one to
whom a letter introducing the
youthful apprentice may be sent.
A helping hand at such a time
can do a great deal of good.
It is important to make GER
tain that these two months or
more of precious growing period
are not wasted in idleness. Chill
dren learn something every wax
ing hour of the day, and if the
learning is useful they grow in
body and mind. If, when the

cease to function in their lives,
they have nothing to replace the
strength and sustaining power
of school. they will be unhappy.

PARAKEET.

I am not an authority on
the parAkeet but have become
an overly ardent owner of one
purchased at six months Of
age. At that time, he repeated
but one word. This perSonable
little fellow was welcomed
with enthusiasm and much at
tention was paid to him.
Speaking slowly and distinctly,
his vocabulary increased as he
gained complete faith in us
and in his surroundings. He
now picks up much that is not
addressed to him. Amazing as
this may seem, he appears to
understand much of what we
are speaking of to him often
flying directly to the object.
We know and hear of own
ers who keep one lone bird
Gagged the greater part Of the
time. It is scarcely imagin-
able that anything constantly
housed up could be expected
to show personality develop
ment. Everything that lives
has it's own way of life, and
must be allowed self express
sion. The ideas that birds are
unclean to have around is er-
roneouS, from our viewpoint.
The bird will adopt its own
routine will usually select a
spot in room or rooms suitable
to it. Here and in and around
the cage it will spend most of
its time. OF course, there are
times when the cage is the
place for the bird. Our para
keet has a play area near the
cage, a small table of play
things which is enjoyed in
varying moods.
There are, however, many
dangers in most homes for
these investigators of all,
noises and all that shines. A
few examples are: open scis-
sors, open safety pins, pins,
needles and thread, tacks,
hairpins, razor blades, broken
glass, ornaments, and steel
wool. The sewing machine
needle. all electrical appli-
ances. sounds from cooking on
the stove, and gurgling water.
We do not allow our bird in
the kitchen. it is not the room
in which he knows he may
freely fly. Infrequently, he
may come to the sink for a
sprinkle bath or sip of water.
AS seemingly intelligent as the
parakeet is, he does not seem
to distinguish between hot and
cold water, water is just water
to him. And hot coffee seems
to his idea of something nice
to get into. These mentioned
cautions, have nearly all re-
suited in near accidents in sew
eral years time. Now that we,
too, have learned, things run
more smoothly for all con-
cerned.
Would suggest to new own
ers that a good book on these
birds be followed most nearly.
Also ask questions of those who
raise them. We keep our bird,
perhaps, exceptionally clean.
Almost daily the cage is
cleaned, as it takes but a few

Useful work Is a tonic to the
mind and body. Boys and girls
need some help in planning the
use of their time during summer
vacation. Smaller children ought
to have some sort of group or
ganization and mother-leader,
if possible. Some children have
the advantage of camp life. a
privilege indeed. Some will at
tend summer school and make
good use of their time there.
The boys and girls who are
in senior high school will want
to work. Their choice Of work
is important. Stop-gap jobs are
not what they want, because
they don't lead to anything.
Moving lawns or tending gar

good tasks for junior high
school pupils, but they will not
serve the ability and ambition

GINGERBREAD BISCUITS?
mrs. f. S. L., Washington
I wonder if, among your
many readers. there is some
one who may have a recipe for
an old-fashioned gingerbread
biscuit. My mother, many
years ago when I was a child,
made gingerbread biscuits
which were rolled as a biscuit
and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Upon removal from the oven
after they were baked, they re-
manned soft and were perfectly
delicious. believe the recipe
was very old one and possibly
came from Pennsylvania origi-
nally.
There are so many helpful
hints and wonderful recipes
passed along by the readers
of RCH. I have started clip
ping a good many of them for
present and future use. I
thoroughly enjoy all of The
Star, but I first turn to RCH
to see what is new.

Minted Carrots

Mint beds should be burgeon-
ing and baby carrots coming up
in your garden-or obtainable
at the markets. Let's combine
the two.
Wash 20 small baby carrots
and cook them quickly in small
amount of salted boiling water.
When tender, hold each carrot
individually under cold running
water and quickly pull of the
skin.
In a frying pan melt 2 table
spoons of butter. Add 2 table,
spoons sugar. Into this put the
carrots, whole. Let them cook
until the surfaces are glazed.
