THE long, straight loop of the "g"
would seem to indicate that this
writer is of a very positive and
determined disposition. It, is
likely she is interested in doing
thinas in her own way. She probably
wastes little time in thinking about her
actions beforehand, having developed
the ability to make decisions quickly.
Apparently she would make an ex
cellent executive in some line of busi
ness effort. In dealing with the public
or in selling something she would per
haps not be successful. In managing
others, however, she would be doing
work wholly in line with her dominant
personality. Quite likely she would be a
valuable asset to an office where strict
discipline and efficiency were demanded.
The looped "p" would lead us to be
liete she lias a liking for numbers. She
probably was an excellent student of
arithmetic while in school. This inborn
proficiency for mathematics would
seemingly afford a foundation for the
study of accounting. Successful woman
accountants are exceptionally well paid,
many business leaders believing that
such detailed work is best done by fe
male minds. However, to test out her
aptitude for accounting, a short period
of study and work as a bookkeeper
would be advisable. Should she find
herself interested in accounting, after
learning its possibilities, there are many
excellent schools in which she could
l-t-. V,
It is possible that she is not allowing
herself enough time for social contacts
and relaxation. Friendly intercourse
with others would add a pleasing soft
ness and charm to her somewhat dom
inant personality. Social groups would
welcome her qualities of leadership, and
in their activities it is likely she would
find much pleasure.

Stockholm contains no really definite

beautiful cities of Europe, but the
old city, known as the “Town Between

TROUBLED ALL LIFE
WITH CONSTIPATION
But Kellogg’s All-Bran
Brought Real Relief
If you ar subject to headaches,
loss of appetite and energy, sleep
lessness and other effects that so
often result from constipation, read
Mrs. Turner's voluntary letter.
‘‘For the past six months I ’’ive
been eating Kellogg's All-'--'N,
and cannot praise it too highly.
“Am fifty years of ago. All »y
life have been troubled with consti
pation. Kellogg's All-Bran has not
only helped me, but has cured me.
“I thought I couldn’t like the
taste of bran, but Kellogg's All
Bran is delicious.”—Mrs. C. J.
Turner. 507 Hanover Street, Fall
River, Mass.
Tests show All-Bran contains
two things which overcome consti
pation: “Bulk” to exercise the in
testines; Vitamin B to help tone the
intestinal tract. All-Bran also sup
plies iron for the blood.
The “bulk” in All-Bran is much
like that of lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms a soft mass, which gently
clears the intestines of wastes.
Certainly this Is more natural
than taking pills and drugs—so
often harmful. All-Bran is not
habit-forming. Two tablespoonfuls,
daily will correct most types of con
stipation. If you have intestinal
trouble not relieved this way, see
your doctor.

your grocer's. Made by Kellogg in

NATURE’S
C ILDREN
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
Illustrations by Mary Foley.
WHITE BIRCH.
Betula Papulifolia.
THE birch tree is the only known
tree that tries to plant its family
on a rock. They actually settle
on the rocks when the winds
have blown them from the par
ent tree. Here they use the bit of soil
they find and send out tiny rootlets
which eventually find the ground and
send down hardy roots. This tree has
been most successful in hanging on in
niches where other trees would perish.
Another thing in this tree’s favor is that
it will take up its abode in the bare
and ugly places and make these lovely
stretches spots which gladden those who
see them.
The trees reach about 40 feet high,
but are short-lived. They are straight
and slender with horizontal branches
and tremulous leaves. The leaves
themselves are small and pointed with
sawtoothed edges. They are from 2
to 3 inches long, dark green above and
pale beneath. They are a golden yel
low In the Autumn. The flowers are
male and female on the same tree, and
the pollen is carried from flow’er to
flower by the bees. The buds are brown
and slender, about one-half inch long
and blunt at both ends. Tire fruit is
cylindrical, blunt at both ends and
about 1 Inch long. The scales are
downy and three-lobed, with a broad
wing which helps them ride the wind.
When the tree is cut down it sends
shoots out. at once and soon the un
sightly stump has vigorous branches
coming from it. The lumbermen have
-corned this tree because of its size:
however, lately there has been such a
demand for the wood that they are giv
ing it more respectful consideration.
Shoe pegs, spools, wood-pulp and fuel
are the uses to which the wood is put.
From Novia Scoita along the coast
to Delaware, and northwest to Lake
Ontaria. these lovely trees grow. They
thrive in any soil and often are found
leaning over streams. They are some
times spoken of as gypsy trees. They
are among the trees which can be ex
pected to give a bountiful return in a
comparatively short time. The owner
of many sterile acres can set these trees
close together, and no matter how scant
the living the sterile soil yields, the
trees grow and are happy.
There is only one tree which might
be confused with this tree and that
is the canoe birch. L%.k closely at
the bark and you will notice that it is
a chalky white and yellowish beneath,
and that it does not rub off: this is
your first guide until vou know the
canoe birch and its markings.
One more thing in the birch tree’s
favor, and that is it is a most capable
nurse. Where hardwoods and conifers
are growing on land which nature is
reforesting, this tree makes a most valu
able windbreak. The birch grows
quickly, while the others are much more
slow in their growing up. They stay
however, for manv, many more years
i than their nurse does.

NANCY PACE
Joan la Seven a i<1 H aa a j
Party.
BY FI OREM F. LA GAVSE.
Joan* v as 7 years old and having her
first birthday party. For the last five
years sinfce Joan had been staying with
her Aunt Nancy there had been many j
requests for a party. But Nancy decri'd
parties for small children. She felt j
they developed tantrums and tempers,
indigestion and worse ills. But now '
Joan was 7 and old enough to know I
what a birthday party really meant. :
The youngster had printed, sealed,
stamped and mailed the Invitations all
herself.
She had been consulted regirding
games and refreshments. The hours of
the party were from 3 to 7. This al
lowed Nancy to serve a simple supper
which took the place of the child's eve
ning meal at home. Such a scheme did
not surfeit the child with food at an
unusual hour and spoil the appetite for
a real meal. Creamed chicken, lettuce
sandwiches, celery, plain ice cream and
a simple birthday cake with seven !
candles, hot cocoa with a fluffy marsh
hallow topping made up the menu.
' May I have a new silk dress. Aunt;
Nancy? I want a pink one with lace j
| like Marguerite has.''
; "Yes, you may, but I think it would
be too bad if you were dressed finer
1 than any of your guests. You are the
hostess and you don't want to make
them feel shabby or uncomfortable. 11
thought I'd get you and Peter 'brother- i
sister' suits of handkerchief linen.
What do you think?
Joan decided on the linen dress.'
Much to Nancy’s dismay, when she !
dressed her son and her niece for the 1
party she found that Peter's suit but
toned over in the same fashion as
Join's. It was too late to rectify the
mistake and get a suit which lapped
1 and buttoned exactly the opposite. This
is one of the points to watch in getting
clothes for boys and girls. But the
party was a great success, nevertheless.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.
TT didn't take the gentleman in the
x Senate, who likes to refer to himself
as Louisiana's "KingPsh,” but three
days to incur the wratli of one of his
colleagues during
QCDBlc on me
floor.
It has been evi
dent to observers
In the gallery since
the day he was
sworn In that the
restlessness of Huey
P. Long would find
expression In some
manner at the
earliest moment.
He seems unable
to keep still while
he is on the floor. ’
He bounces in and
out of the cham
ber, hitting the
swinging doors to
the cloak room
nut- a iuut Dan piayer maKing a line
plunge. When he sits down, his fingers
beat a steady tattoo on his desk as he
watches the face of the Senator on
his feet at the time.
He will jump up when a colleague
passes, eagerly shaking his hand as he
shifts his cigar.
King of Utah was talking about the
alien seamen bill Senator "Huey’s"
third day in the Senate. The self
styled "Kingflsh” was a bit more eager
and resiles:. perhaps, than usual. At
any rate, breaking some sort of a pre
cedent for freshmen Senators, he
jumped to his feet and interrupted
King.
Now the Utah Senator is a rather
tolerant sort of a member—has usually
a genial smile and a benign attitude.
But it looked as if he was a bit sur
prised. if not a little impatient, with
Long interrupting him in such fash
ion. Nevertheless, he yielded to "Huey”
in a pleasant sort of way and gave a
polite answer to his question.
King probably thought the Hon.
"Huey" was through, but he was in
terrupted again. Joe Robinson asked
a question about the same time, how
ever, and King ignored Long.
A soon as Robinson concluded.
"Hu v" broke through with another
question.
It was easy to see that King’s pa
tience was b^ing tried. Yet he heard
and answered Long again. But the
' Kingfish” was not yet through—he
kept baring in on Senator King.
F.nell". the tall, lanky Utah Senator
got rnoug.i. He turned on "Huey" with
rc—'th’r.g rer -rrbting a .mar!.
"I have stated repeatedly, etc.. etc .."
he shouted.
Still "Huey” didn't sit down. When
King was through stating what he had
"stated repeatedly" Long shot another
question at him. By this time, King
was really aroused. He fairly shouted
at Long:
"You’ve made the same statement
before, and I stated then, and I re
peat now, etc., etc.-”
Probably Long got the idea then that
King was irked. At least he sat down
and didn't ask any more questions. But
it wasn't for long.
Later in the afternoon, undaunted,
he arose and made his maldea speech
in the Senate.
My Neighbor Says:
When packing dresses in trunks
or suit cases, place tissue paper
in the sleeves and between folds
to prevent creases.
Neckbands and cuffs of gowns
and coats that have become soiled
may be easily cleansed by placing
on a board and rubbing soiled
parts with a brush that has been
dipped in lukewarm, soapy water.
After drying, press collar and
cuffs with a hot iron.
A little hot milk added a little
at a time while mashing potatoes
will make them light and fluffy.
Heat, but do not boll the milk.
To make beef juice, add 1
pound of fresh, raw, finely chopped
round steak without fat to 6
ounces of cold water. Add a pinch
of salt, put the beef and water
in a glass jar and stand it on
ice over night. Shake and strain
it through coarse muslin, squeez
ing hard to obtain all the juice.
