Don't flatter yourself that friendship
authorizes you to say disagreeable
things to your Intimates. The nearer
you come Into relation with a person,
the more necessary do tact and cour
tesy become.
Except In cases of necessity, which
are rare, leave your friend to learn
unpleasant things from his enemies;
they are ready enough to tell them.

spoonful of salt and a few drops of
lemon extract
Apple Cups-Scoop out medium
sized apples, leaving a good covering
at the blossom end. Cook In a sirup
made with equal parts of sugar and wa
ter until they may be pierced, but not
In danger of breaking. Remove to
the serving dish and fill the centers
with chopped raisins, dates and figs.
Pour a little of the sirup over them
and garnish with whipped cream.
Serve with apple leaves for a garnish
to each plate.
Cranberry Pie. Chop one cupful
-each of cranberries and raisins with
half a cupful each of ants and figs.

r spoonful of flour, one-fourth of a tea
spoonful of salt, and a fourth of a cup
ful of water. Fill the crust, sprinkle
with nuts and cover with the top crust
or lattice strips.
Fruit Rolls. Make a rich pie crust
and cut It in squares, as many as there
are to serve. On each square heap a
tablespoonful or two of chopped ap

has been seasoned and moistened with
mayonnaise. Sprinkle with paprika
and pour over a French dressing. The
Juice of the pineapple may be used
as a substitute for some of the vin

Some have much and some have more,
Some are rich and some are poor.
Some have little, some have less.
Some have not a cent to bless
Their empty pockets, yet possess
True riches in true happiness.

TEACHING INDIAN
TO MAKE LIVING
Uncle Sam Plans to Make Red
Man Useful Citizen.
PRACTICAL TRAINING GIVEN
Vocational Schools Established to Make
Young Wards of Government
Efficient in Various Indus
trial Pursuits.
To make the red man a productive
citizen, prepared to take his place In
the industrial and commercial life of
the nation Is the object of the voca
tional trulnlng which has been Intro
duced by Uncle Sam into all the In
dian schools of the country. The chil
dren of the original Americans are now
being given the benefit of what gov
ernment offlcluls believe to be the best
vocational training offered by any
school system in the United States.
The new system of training for Uncle
Sam's young girls Is being developed
under the supervision of Cato Sells,
head of the bureau of Indian affairs of
the department of the interior. Mr.
Sells Is giving much attention to this
feature of the bureau's work and Is
confident that It will produce very
beneficial results.
Given Practical Training.
The svstem. recently devised. Is di
vided Into three divisions. The first Is
the beginning stage, the second the
finding stage and the third the finish
ing stage. During the first and second
periods the training Is domestic and In
dustrial activities center around the
conditions essential to the improve
ment and proper maintenance of the
home and farm. The course outlined
In the prevocatlonal division Is unique
in the fact that In addition to the regu-
Cato Sells.
lar academic subjects boys are required
to take practical courses In farming,
gardening, dairying, farm carpentry,
farm blacksmithlng, farm engineering,
farm masonry, farm painting and shoe
and harness repairing, and all girls are
required to take courses In home cook
ing, sewing, laundering, nursing, poul
try raising and kitchen gardening.
This course not only prepares the
Indian youth for Industrial efficiency,
but at the same time helps them to
find those activities for which they are
best adapted and to which they should
apply themselves definitely during the
vocational period, the character and
amount of academic work being deter
mined by its relative value and Impor
tance as a means of solving the prob
lems of the farmer, mechanic and
housewife.
Nonessentials Eliminated.
Nonessentials are eliminated. One
half of each day Is given to industrial
training and the other half to academic
studies. All effort Is directed toward
training Indian boys and girls for ef
ficient and useful lives under the con
ditions which they must meet after
leaving school. Other subjects to which
this course directs special attention
are health, motherhood and child wel
fare, civics, community meetings and
extension work.
After their long course of search,
the experts of the Indian office who
have been In the closest touch with this
work say that they came to the conclu
sion that the economic needs of all
people and of the Indian especially
demand that the schools provide for
Instruction along eminently practical
lines. To this end the industrial schools
were established, In which the culture
value of education Is not neglected,
but rather subordinated to the practi
cal needs of the child's environment
In the first or primary period, spoken
of before, the Indian child goes into
what Is to him a strange land with .a
strange tongue, strange habits, customs
and standards. He is lacking that five
years or so of fundamental home edu
cation which most white children re
ceive in our American ways of think
ing, doing and living. Officials of the
Indian office are much pleased with the
way their new method Is working out
Big Laboratory for Navy.
Modern battleship building includes
so many complex scientific problems
that Uncle Sam's navy board Is plan
ning for the construction of a complete
chemical and physical laboratory which
will conduct experiments along many
lines. It will be used to test out new
devices as well as to devise new ones.
The best types of Burners to use with
each of the various grades of fuel oil
and the most desirable forms of hulls
to be used for Vessels of all kinds are
among the problems now requiring at
tention and a properly equipped place
for experiment In addition to these
the continued testing of materials used
la every branch of shipbuilding will be
roncentrated In this one great laboratory.
PLAN TO TEACH FLYING
Uncle Sam's Experts Will Instruct
Civilians.
Applicants for Training, However,
Must Agree to Become Officers in
the Aviation Reserve Corps at
End of Schooling.
Civilians who meet the requirements
of Uncle Snin will have an opportunity
to become experienced aviators at the
expense of the government, according
to plans that are being prepured by the
aviation branch of the United States
Signal corps in compliance with the act
of congress appropriating $13,000,000
for the organization of a military avia
tion corps.
For the aviation section of the Signal
Officers' Reserve corps It is proposed
to have 290 officers, graded from major
to second lieutenant. Those who
aspire to be officers may be taught to
fly at the expense of the government
Applicants must be from twenty-one
to twenty-seven years old. If the can
didate Is considered desirable he will
be examined physically, mentally and
morally. The physical test will be the
same as that required for officers of
the regular army who want to serve
In the Aviation corps. In the mental
test the applicant will be required to
establish the fact that he has "the
equivalent of a college education."
The candidate must state In writing
that if he passes his aviation test after
being taught aviation at the expense
of the goverument he will become an
officer In the Aviation Reserve corps.
Then the examining board will recom
mend that the applicant be designated
as an aviation student, lie will be sent
either to an army aviation school or a
prlvute aviation school approved by
the officer In charge of the, aviation
section. When he has been taught to
fly he will be commissioned second
lieutenant
It is the intention to organize re
serve aero squadrons in various parts
of the country.
The enlisted reserve corps calls for
54 master signal electricians, 190 flrst
class sergeants, 281 sergeants, 543 cor
porals, 1,381 privates, first-class, and
276 privates. These men will be ex
pected to attend to the motors of the
aeroplanes.
An officer In the reserve corps will be
commissioned for five years, after
which he may be recommlssloned In
the same or higher grades for succes
sive periods of five years.
In time of actual or threatened hos
tilities officers of the reserve corps are
subject to such duty as the president
may prescribe. Heads of staff corps
when authorized by the secretary of
war may order reserve officers to duty
for periods not exceeding 15 days a
year. While so serving the officers will
be paid the same as the respective
grades In the army.
OLD PAPERS WORRY CENSORS
They Should Not Be Used in Packing
Boxes for Shipment Through Any
Belligerent Countries.
If you are going to ship some old
clothes to the Belgians or to anybody
else, through the belligerent countries
of Europe, don't wrap them in old
newspapers. This is the warning Is
sued by Uncle Sam.
Likewise, If you are packing some
thing, don't use old magazines or pa
pers to fill the Interstices to keep your
gifts from rattling around In an over
sized packing case.
Warning Is being given all shippers
by the department of commerce that
delay In customs Is sure to be the por
tion of such shipments if they do not
suffer a more serious fate.
This warning is given to big ship
pers, many of whom have found old
pupers and magazines a cheap and
useful packing material. Presence of
such printed matter is a real menace
to the goods.
An ulterior motive is always sus
pected when uncensored printed mat
ter comes to a belligerent country
through channels other than the pub
lic post, where It Is readily expected.
Home newspapers are censored by the
governments, and uncensored Ameri
can papers are not appreciated by the
authorities In out-of-the-way corners
of packing cases.

Red Cross Grows Rapidly.
The American Red Cross society,
which Is a semlgovernmental Institu

support from Uncle Sam, increased Its
membership from 27,000 to 230,000 dur

THE first day of father's little vaca

on the excursion, as planned. That
gave father a chance to catch up with
some reading, as everyone hud to stay
indoors. The first interruption came
when James brought him an odd con
trivance made up of sticks uud wires
and strings. James was very enthusi
astic, and father patiently laid his
book aside to see what was going on.
"Oh, father, see how it looks!" ex
claimed the Inventor, and as everyone
looked on he pulled one of the strings.
There was a twisting and straining
among the sticks and wires, and one of
the sticks Jerked away from Its com
panions and stood out straight. The
younger members of the family were
enchanted, and the youngest said, "Do
it again 1" But father failed to get ex
cited. "Well, what is it?" he asked.
"Oh, it's Just a machine," exclaimed
James, somewhat chilled. "Every time
I pull the string thut stick flies up.
you see."
Yes, father saw. "What's the use
of it?" he queried, perhaps as much
to make conversation and to encourage
the child as to satisfy bis own curios
ity. James had to admit that It was of no
use, but maintained stoutly that It
worked. Father was permitted to re
turn to his book, and the children
went back to their play. But James
had not been encouraged. On the con
trary, he had been Infected with a sug
gestion that might, Indeed in the
course of time stimulate him to fur
ther effort, but one that would almost
certainly take the edge off his spon
taneity. Father, with his experience and with
his feeling of responsibility, had
reached the point of planning his time
and calculating his energy expen
ditures. He knew a good reason for
everything he did outside of the or
dinary routine, like reading a novel or
going to a baseball game. He also
knew a good reason why he followed
some of his routine like hanging up
his coat or Interviewing people with
his back to the window. Everything
he did was either the result of habit
or the result of deliberate Intention.
And he had forgotten that children
sometimes act without motive and
without purpose.
One of the commonest reasons for
our failure to get along with young
children, und for our failure to get
the most out of them. Is our attempt to

our own maturer motives and values.
Or rather, there Is generally no at
tempt to understand at all, merely a
measuring and criticizing on the as
sumption that their "reasons" for do
ing things are similar to our own.
The child does this and that to begin
with Just because he has the tmpulse
to move, to work bis muscles. When
he Is able to handle materials with
some precision he will make new com
blnatlons and arrangements for no
earthly purpose whatever. There Is
satisfaction in the doing, as there is
satisfaction in play, or in eating; but
there is no calculation that leads to
the adoption of means for gaining the
satisfaction. In time, however, the
girls and boys learn to select what they
will do. They will do one thing be
cause they know they will like the re
sults; they will do another thing be
cause it brings them some recognition
or some material reward. But always
there will be Impulses to try something
new, something that may have a htippy
ending, or something that may have an
unhappy ending, but the Impulse is
related to the trying, to the contriving,
to the doing, and not to the possible
As to Golf.
It was the office of the great sport
ing newspaper, and the golf editor was
taking a brief holiday. In his ab
sence the Inquiries from readers
which the golfing man answered
through his correspondence columns
were handed to the racing editor.
"Which Is the better course," wrote
an ardent follower of the royal und
ancient game, "to fuzzle one's putt or
to fetter on the tee?"
The turf man tilted back his chair
and smoked five cigarettes before tak
ing his pen In hand. Then, when he
had come to a decision on the weighty
problem, he wrote as follows:
"Should a player snaggle his Iron, it
is permissible for him to fuzzle his
putt; but a better plan would be to
drop his guppy into the prlngle und
snoodle it out with niblick."

The realest parts of our experience
are those which we have fashioned for
ourselves by means of experiment

So niueh of what grown-up people
tin every day 1m reliul to getting cer
lain rewards thnt we nre iu danger of
overlooking the fact thut we would do
quite otherwise If we were eutirely
free. And we overlook the fact that
some of the best work we our
selves accompliHh Is quite devoid or
any "motive" of material rewurd. Thus
we get Into the habit of Interpreting

relation to the question "What's the

But this question is quite proper, it
is even necessary. Children must learn
to conserve their energy and to make
full use of their time ond of their re

shull narrow the range of "uses" that

controlling and directing the Impulses.
We must recognize that having fun
solving puzzles or contriving glra
cracks or whittling a stick Is quite as
legitimate a motive for a child as get

or building a fence or "making money"

It Is better for the child to be mak
ing something for the fun of making it
than to do nothing for luck of some
thing "useful" to do. The Edisons and
Fultons and Howes are rare enough ;
but every normal child Is conslderobly

credit the inventor because he does
things out of the conventional, or be
cause we do not see the value of the
tinkering. When he happens to make
something that the rest of us can use
we are likely to assume that he did
the "useful" thing because he wanted
us to reward him for It. But the facts
are probably inverted by us. We re
ward the useful results, and thus en

We should do all we can to preserve

FEATS OF TURKISH PORTERS
