S pose They Did Make Gold Out of Dr; ?ss—What Then?
ALCHEMIST’S DREAM
DOESN’T MEAN MUCH
Winifred Black Thinks It Would Be Bad If the
Beautiful Metal Became Too Common
for Its Present Uses.
By WINIFRED BLACK
fjjVlEY’YE found it again, the formula for making gold, and this
I time they say, the trick will really work.
How many centuries men have worked to discover that
secret! The old alchemists hundreds of years ago—they knew that
some day someone would find a way, and they
worked and dreamed and consulted the stars.
Some of them were burned because they had long
beards and wild eyes, and people called them
wizards.
Now here in this century of wonders a little
Frenchman somewhere in the marvelous land of
France announces from his laboratory that he
has discovered the secret—at last.
I wonder how he felt when he realized what
it was he had accomplished. How did he act, do
you suppose? Did he dance and sing, did he call
in all the neighbors and tell them the good news,
or did he just step down to dinner and say to
someone who was waiting there for him, “The
soup is a little cold, bring me a hot plate—by the
way. I’ve got the gold.”
WINIFRED BIATK, The French chemist is a man of repute and
standing, and they say he really means what
he says.
If he does—now that we’ve discovered gold and how to make it_
what of it?
He will not keep the secret to himself and when everybody knows
how to make it, you can buy it for less perhaps than you can buy
copper, for to get copper men have to dig and delve in the black night
underground. Great fortunes must be invested, high intelligence
must be used for the production and the marketing, but the new gold, i
heigh-ho, the first thing you know we’ll all be wearing tin jewelry—
gold will be so cheap that nobody will want it.
Yet it is a pretty thing this gold that has ruled the world so long,
a rich and shiny thing, full of a strange charm and beauty of its own.
Have you ever seen a dinner set of gold, soft gold—it makes a
light in the darkest room. Somehow I always feel as if I wouldn't
blame anybody for stealing one of those round plates that shine like
the sun under a cloud. Some gold is red and some is yellow, but it is
always—gold.
Isn't it a little too bad to make it common?
^ ou know how it is about quail, quail is a delicious morsel when
ft is broiled exactly right, eat one on Monday and you’ll enjoy it; eat
one again on Tuesday and you’ll find it palatable; eat another on
Wednesday, and you won’t care for it. try to eat one on Thursday and
you can’t do it, to save your life.
When a thing becomes too ordinary, well, we all know the story,
but somehow we never learn it.
There is my friend, the little widow across the way, who spends
so much of her time running after the man next door. Now if she’d
just let him do a little of the running, he might—but who am I to
prophesy or even to hint at the vagaries of the heart of a man?
"Gold, gold, hard and cold, heavy to get and heavy to hold.”
Well, perhaps it won’t be either so hard or so cold or so heavy
*'hcn we learn how to make it over the kitchen fire.

a distinct effort to keep any tinge

"Oh: don't say anything to her

HATS FOR MIDSUMMER WEAR
tUyx*. f
-
Large and Small, of Felt
or Straw, Are the
Newest Hat8.
By Marie Marot
T^EATURED here ere two
A models sponsored by mid
Summer showings. At the bottom
of the drawing is seen a h&t of the
large, picture variety. It is des
cribed in Leghorn dyed a beautiful
blue and utilized edging and unus
ual trim of sheer velvet.
Unadorned, save for a velvet
bow that trims the crown and
slips through the brim to yield an
under brim half bow, it is com
pletely smart and chic.
Felt has been rather neglected
as important material in Sum
mer hats, and used generally as
a minor trim, inset or imposed on
hats of soft pliable straw. It, how
ever, is still utilized for out-and
out sports wear in hats similar to
the one pictured on the top. It is a
smart cloche done in gray hand
kerchief felt that is moulded
snugly to the head, and trimmed
with bands of black python in
graduating length. A modest sil
ver buckle punctuates its crown
band.
Black python, one hears, is to
be &n important trimming in early
Fall styles, a prediction of which,
one buyer, recently returned from
Paris, states that novelty bodies
are to be employed and that felt is
to be revived considerably—starts
ing its rejuvenation early in July.
He reported that there was quite
a little navy worn at the French
races and that there is a new
shade—a yellowish sand—called
‘‘La Route de Deauville.” “Le
Train Blue” is another color hav
ing considerable success in Paris
at the moment, especially in its
print blendings.
Some Vital Needs in Children’s Food
By KOYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, Sew York City.
TALKING with an eminent nerve specialist
the other day 1 was much impressed by a
statement 0e made. He contends that the
majority of nervous conditions in children are
due to undernourishment.
Isn’t that a shame? Think of this great,
rich country and try to imagine that children
are actually underfed! It is difficult to believe,
isn’t it?
As a matter of fact, however, we must not
conclude that this doctor had hunger in mind.
Underfeeding is not the sole cause of under
nourishment. Wrong feeding is just as impor
tant a factor.
My experience in the New York City Health
Department taught me many things. One of
these is that there are almost as many under
nourished children in the houses of luxury as in
i the houses of the poor. Pampered indulgence OR COPELAND
is just as dangerous to health as necessary sacrifice.
The most vital lesson a parent can learn is the necessity for well
selected and properly eaten food. No living being can be well and
strong without it
Among the diseases in which un
dernourishrnent is one of the causal!
factors is chorea, or "St. Vitus's
Dance." Of course there are other
causes, but so matter why the dis
ease comes. Its effects are practi
cally the same.
The firm sign of this disease Is
nervousness. This may be noticed
by difficulty in using the hands On
this account, writing and drawing
are not done as they should be. The
weakness may be shown by the em
barrassing habit of dropping things.
When the legs are involved the
child stumbles and fails. He dreads
the stairs and may creep down
them instead of walking.
The most familiar symptom of St
Vitus's dance Is twitching of the face
and eyes. The child acts as If he
were making faces.
As the trouble progresses, there
ma y he Jerking, twitching and
spasmodic movements of any or all
the muscle* Every effort to control
them seems to make the affliction
worse. If the child Is embarrassed
or tired the trouble is aggravated.
Indeed, the poor youngster Is quiet
only when he is asleep
There appears to be a relation
ship between chorea and rheuma
tism. Too hard work In school and
a run-down condition from any
Home-Making Helps
By WANDA BARTON
For the Particular Housekeeper.
KEEPING the house clear) is a'
problem each housekeeper
must solve after her own
fashion. It Is more difficult to keep
clean In some places than others so
different methods are required.
Damp or dry places near a dusty
highway are always hard to keep
clean. In country places with houses
back from the streets and elevated
above them it is an easier proposi
tion to keep spick and span. And city
apartments on the lower floors are
harder to keep clean than those
above.
In the ordinary home one clean
ing day a week is not enough, there
fore it is better to clean a certain
amount each day. Monday is a day
when cleaning should be rather
thorough, that is brushing up. use
of vacuum, dusting carefully and
removing all trash thrown about
over Sunday. Tuesday, with the
mangle and electric iron putting the
ironing out of the way. there should
is* time to clean a bit upstairs.
Silver, brass and closets should be
cleaned and straightened up on
Wednesday. Thursday morning up
stairs should he cleaned and in the
afternoon mistress and maid may
both go out. Friday downstairs must
be cleaned thoroughly and in the sf-1
ternoon any extra work can be
planned. Saturday morning after
the baking, the kitchen gets a
thorough cleaning. Cellar and hall
ways connected with It will need
cleaning In the usual way. Wednes
day and Saturday the icebox must
be cleaned and well cleaned.
Odd Jobs include cleaning the
paint here and there where it is fin
ger marked, wiping door knobs.
'cleaning electric and gas fixtures,
globes, candlesticks and electric
bulbs. Furniture polishing la an
other odd lob that may b® filled tn
here and there. In cleaning the
paint a good suds made of white
soap, with a little borax added, used
with a harness sponge and a soft
drying cloth gives excellent results
Painted furniture la washed In the
same way.
If sash curtains are washed fre
quently the dust will not cut into
and rot the threads as much as tc
leave them until they look dirty
When they are taken down shake
them well, then put them Into hike
warm water and rinse them, do this
three times then add the soap. Witt
this method the dirt is loosened and
removed instead of being set with
suds with the first wetting.
The hardwood floors should tx
brushed well with a soft brlstli
brush then go over them with the
polish, or wax. rubbing with the
grain, then polish across the grair
with a cotton flannel cloth, or thi
polishing brush. A quick way t(
clean windows Is to pour glycerlr
on a wad of cotton waste or lint am
go over the panes, then polish then
with a soft dry chamois. Any
streaks that remain may be removed
by tissue paper wadded up into a
soft bail. This same method may tx
used in cleaning household mirrors
The careful woman wears can
vas gloves when doing rough work
and chamois gloves when cleaning
Many also find that the rubber
gloves save the hands if they must
be in water any length of time.
House work is hard on the hands,
skin and hair and they should all
be protected where It is possible tc
do so.
► cause may t>e followed by an attack
It is important to guard the
child against all the factors which
have a tendency to annoy and exattc
him. The worst of the trouble is
likely to disappear In six or eight
weeks. In any event, it is prob
ably wise to omit schi>ol. where
th*»re mav tie a few unkind children
to poke fun at the poor little suf
ferer.
•’he nealth must be built up by
proper feeding. The matter of diet
- of first importance.
To the end that there may be
proper nourishment, deep breathing
must be taught. No matter how
much food is taken, it ts not utilized
unless sufficient oxygen Is supplied
ro make It available.
An unfortunate thing about chorea
is that it may recur occasionally.
This is not likely to be the case If
the underlying causes for the first
attack are removed and then are not
permitted to exist again.
Children cannot ’thrive unless they
are guarded and directed exactly as
plants and animals are. They should
not be left to haphamrd chance. The
parents must give daily supervision
to the little ones or disaster is im
minent. It is not a hard task, be
cause the Joy of seeing the child
grow and develop is reward enough
for everybody.

MAKESHIFT TEACHERS
NOT THE RIGHT KIND
Profession Is a High One and Should Be Taken
Seriously, Since It Involves Future
of Children.
By DR. LOllS E. BISCH.
Eminent Payehotnyiat.
TOO many teachers, whether of grammar grades or high schools,
do not take their jobs seriously enough.
I Too many teachers undertake the work, merely as an ex
{ pedient until they marry.
They fail to realize that, as teachers, they are taking the place
! of parents.
1 They are, indeed, substitute parents and in
their role they wield even more power than the
parents themselves.
A teacher's responsibility is very great
That responsibility should not be shirked for
any reason whatsoever.
Often teachers have to do, or are supposed
to do, many things left undone by the parents.
Whether the parent* are negligent through
ignorance or through laziness the innocent chil
dren ought not be allowed to suffer.
A teacher is supposed not only to teach book
facts, but manners, conventions and morals as
well.
Then again—and perhaps most important
of all—teachers should be human.
They should try to understand their pupils, -
delving into their personal viewpoints, ambitions, * OUlS
disappointments, joys and sorrows.
Students welcome the opportunity of discussing the problems
that often torment them with a teacher who is understanding and
sympathetic.
a teaoner may not actually n* '
asked to give this service to her
pupils—her contract dies not spe
cifically call for it—yet no higher
service could possibly be given.
Of what value really are the
mastering of school subjects If the
soul of the pupil Is neglected?
Do you recall vour own school
days?
Don't you remember how you
questioned and wrestled with all
sorts of problems?
How gladly would you have wel
comed a helping hand from one of
your teachers whom you could
trust and to whom you could unfold
your secrets.
Many teachers watch the clock all
day long.
It is plain, often to the pupils
themselves, that their work is a
bore.
! have heard of cases where the
teacher, having become Impatient.
lost her sense of the proper to the
extent of telling the class "they
would soon drive her crazy "
Such ■ teacher has no business In
school.
She Is not fitted for the work of
leading young minds.
A teacher first should learn how
to control herself before she at
tempts to control others.
A teacher should work with her
heart as well as with her head.
Teaching is not effective unless It
la human!
A teacher models human material
—not clay.
And that human material—a
child's mind—Is the most precious
commodity there is'

Romances of the World’s
Great T ,o\ersl!v COZET1E 1)OL(;LASS
Helen of Troy and Paris
THE romance of “the face than
launched a thousand ships'* is ;
one so familiar to us all and tto I
more or less shrouded In mystery
that it's hard to know Just when or
where U begun.
However, tradition tells us that
Helen was the daughter of Zeus and
Eeda. and a sister of Castor and
Pollux and Clytemnestra. When a
child she was carried off from Sparta
by Thesus. but was recovered and
restored to her home by her brothers.
When she grew up. ao great was
her beauty that suitors came from
near and far to win her. but her
father finally derided on Mt-nclaus,
thy Spartan king, as the most eli
gible.
We are told that Helen led a
model life In the early years of her
marriage, and that she had a lovely
daughter. Herrnione. However, one
as lovely as Helen could not long re
main the center of a picture of do
mestic happiness and when the
young Paris arrived In Sparta, to
visit Vlenelaus, whether It was the
glamour of hie entourage or the won
derful beauty of the man himself,
the fact remains that they fell head
long In love with euch other.
True. Paris did violate all the
rules of hospitality. Inasmuch as he
not only robbed Menelaus' palace,
but he also carried the more or less
willing Queen aboard his ship and
sailed away.
Naturally. Vlenelaus resented this
most flagrant violation of his hospi
tality. and promptly enlisted the
help of all the Greek chieftains to re
cover his property and his wife.
They Invaded Troy and demanded
the return of the Queen, but Paris,
now thoroughly in love with the
lovely Helen, and it Is supposed, she
with him, refused to listen to all
overtures.
Por nine long years the siege of
Troy lasted, but during the tenth
year. Hector negotiated a treaty
whereby Meneiaus and Paris should
fight a duel, to determine the victor.
Paris was overcome in the duel,
but was rescued by Aphrodite, only
to fall a victim to an arrow from the
bow of Hercules.
Thereupon tradition tells us that
Helen married Paris' brother. Lk-i
phobus, whom she betrayed Into the
hands of Meneiaus when Troy was
captured.
In spite of the calamities which
Helen had brought upon them, the
Trojans adored Helen and suffered
through nine long years rather than
surrender her to her own people.
The charm of this wonderful wo
man must have been great, for Mene
iaus forgave her and took her bark
i to Sparta where they "lived happily
ever after."
Nowhere else In the world's his
tory do we find a love story that in
volves such catastrophe as does that
of Helen. Laid to her door is the
fall of an empire, the annihilation of
the flower of the manhobd of a proud
race and the reducing of women of
■ birth and beauty to the state of
1 slaves.

STORIES
—By Blanche Silver—
Why the Dandelions Are So
Plentiful. ^
ONE day. long, long ago when
the world* was quite yourg
and the meadows were filled
with hopping, creeping, crawling
creature*, they decided they would
hold a meeting down by the hr- k.
“But how in the world can we ret
everyone out to the meeting?” ask-1
Cheery Cricket. “I d go and tell
them all. If I had a good pair of
wings so I could fly."
“Well. I'd Just love to go.” sighed
Earth Worm, “if I could get ov.-r
the ground a wee bit faster. Hew
about you. Lazy Snail ”
"Sure I'd go.” yawned Lazy Snail.
"But by the time I'd see everyone
It would be too late to attend ti-e
meeting."
“Ilow about me going?” question-d
Johnny Grasshopper.
"Yes. no one would be there then
sure.” snapped Katy-did. “Johnny
Grasshopper tells such funny yarns,
no one would believe him."
The crowd of little friends all «at
down to think how they coo d i t ^
over the meadow the quickest .. 1
tell all the folks about the meeting.
"Hum.” croaked Hoppy Toad. I
could hop around and tell them my- ^
self. If my skin wasn't so tight, but *
I Just can't do it myself. 1 have
It," and the crowd of meadow
folks crowded around Hoppy Toad.
"We'll ask Mrs. Dandelion to let us
use her seed tobies for air-mail. We
can have her send them all over the
meadows In a Jiffy and folk- w ill
be here before we re ready for them ”
“Host stupid of me not to think f
r

that!" laughed Mr*. Dandelion. "Ct r
tainly I'll let my seed babies gu.
They can cover every foot of ti e
meadows and far beyond if you wish
them, too.” So Mrs. Dandelion called
to ail her little seed babies and they
all agreed it would be lovely. They
each one unfurled the wee win.,
sails to their little brown seed air
ships. and when they bad learned
the message they were to deliver
they set sail and scattered the newt
aU over the meadows from the foot
hills to the river.
My. such a meeting! Everyone for
miles around gathered on the bank
of the stream and had wonderful
time, everyone writs so happy They
all thanked Mrs. Dandelion for send- a
ing her seed babies to let them know ▼
about the affair.
"Why, I don’t see why you don't
run a newsstand yourself. Mrs.
Dandelion.” suggested Billy Bum Ns.
bee. 'I should think you'd love to
ao it. Then folks would know just
w-hat is going on all the time.”
Mrs. Dandelion smiled merrilv, but
after the guests were all gone si e
thought it over and the very next
day the meadows were covered with
snow white sails flying over th»
grasses and on each one was print- d
the account of the gay meeting of
the night before. #
everyone caught the news, end |
that was the very start of Mis.
