FRANKLIN'S GENIUS !
The 226th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Frank
lin comes at a time when there iB a marked revival of interest
in tills genius of America during the Revolutionary period.
His country is rediscovering him.
The passing of generations has not dwarfed him. In fact,
he seems to tower more and more over his contemporaries
as the perspective of history lengthens.
This is hardly because Franklin brought the lightning
down from the sky, or because he collected data on water
spouts and earthquakes, or devised a remedy for smoking
chimneys, or invented bifocal spectnclcs, or made a clock, or
had more than an average knowledge of medicine.
Nor is it due to his political services, great as they were ;
nor to his publishing and printing activities; nor to his
having signed the Declaration of Independence.
It was the many-sidedness of Franklin, along with his
humanity and his magnetism, that has projected the great
ness of him down to the present time. There was nothing
reactionary in his make-up, and yet he was never a radical.
Benjamin Franklin's enduring fame seems to rest upon
the fact that he was so far in advance of his day and genera
tion. He would not be lost in this modern world, nor be be
wildered by it. It is in the many ways in which he differed
from his contemporaries, rather than in his kinship with
them, that he stands out from his time.
The principal thing' that is the matter with Kuropoan nli
tiona today is that Uncle Sam is unable to lend them any
more money.

Lunches For
. The Stock Market
A nuestlon has been asked regard
Ing noon day lunch for school chil
dren, and an answer was recently
prepared by a recognized authority
on this subject. . j.t. is. as. ionows
"It would be better if tho children
ls so short that they have barely
ftims to dash home, snatch a hasty
meal and hurry back, It Is undoubt
'cdly better for them to carry a suit-
'able lunch to school and eat it In
more leisurely fashion,
"When lunches must be carried to
school It is wise to purchase some
kind of a vacuum bottle or container
in which one warm food can be car
ried. This hot dish may be cocoa,
milk soup, vegetable stew, macaroni
and cheese, stewed lima beans or
other similar easily prepared nourish
ing dish. In addition to a warm food
the lunch should provide each of the
: following:
Milk. At least ono-half pint to
drink as such, or In cocoa, milk soup,
etc.
2. A protein food, as cheese, cot
tage cheese, egg or meat. These may
bo served separately or in sandwiches.
If a full pint of milk is used this
extra protein is not so essential.
3. Bread, as bread and butter, or
as sandwiches.
4. Fruit or vegetables. Fruit is
more easily carried and can well be
used most of the time, the vege
table being served at the night meal.
The fruit may be raw as a ripe
banana, an apple, and orango, a
bunch of grapes or in the form of a
sauco. when the fruit is cooked it
Is wlso to add a few pieces of celery.
a whole tomato, or lettuce to pro
vide the desirable clement of fresh
ness in the lunch.
5. A sweet, if desired, as a cooky,
a raisin sandwich. Jam to cat with
bread and butter, a piece or two of
candy, a few peanuts or raisins. The
sweet should not be overdone, merely
a uttie ton-orr to ino meal.
On'y a few suggestive lunches can
be given here.
1. Cocoa (made of milk) '2 to 1
pint. Peanut butter sandwiches.
Ripe banana. Cookies.
2. Vegetable stew, small amount of
meat, potato, carrots, onions, etc.
Bread and butter. Milk. Red apple.
Graham crackers.
3. Potato soup. Lettuce sandwiches.
Baked apple. Ginger bread.
4. Stewed lima beans. Bread and
butter. Milk. Ripe peaches. Cup
cake.
It must be remembered that mere
ly packing the right lunch Is not
sufficient. Provision must bo made ot
school for a suitable place and the
right atmosphere in which to eat it.
cl3e the meal may be as hurried and
unsatisfactory as before. This usually
requires some educational supervision
of the lunch a problem which
should be attacked jointly by .both
parents and teachers."
