SMALL PEEVES How much irritability we expose ourselves to and how much serenity we deny ourselves because of a dozen or more petty annoyances which we encounter habitualy! It i3 a shame also impractical. If, as our forefath ers though, "the pursuit of happiness" is really an end to the aimed at, why not hit some workable way of obliter ating the peeve. ' It's a pretty sensible sort of a plan. Not to worry o'er what we can't help or can. Let's see, what are the small peeves which make us explode into expletives about every so often? They are such as these: Johnny never empties the wash-dish, Susie leaves the soap soak ing in the wash-water, Pa leaves his shaving mug out for Ma to put awa7, Ma hangs her dress on Pa's coat hang er, somebody always leaves muddy rubbers in the front hall, there's never a safety-pin to be found in emergencies although new ones are bought every now and then, someone leaves the tub dirty after his bath, somebody squeez es the tooth-paste tube from the top instead of rolling it up from the bot tom, and so on and so forth Could these occasions for the cuss word be eliminated? It would do no harm to try. Call "a family council and, by earnest con versation, agitate the matter. Start a systematic propaganda. Mutually agree upon laws and appoint detec tives and executives to catch the cul prit in the act, and administer justice. Then, when all is said and done, we may well do a little work on our selves; toughen up the cuticle that we will not be so sensitive, discard the chip from our shoulder abandon picay eunishness, cultivate a good forget ery and know when it is wise to be a little blind or deaf or dumb, and, above all, adopt 'the smile that won't come off." So may life become, indeed, "one grand, sweet song." WOMAN-I-TORJALS ' Blessel is he (also she) who has found his work. I.et him ask no other blessedness Carlyle.

Doctors Baldwin and Stecher, of Iowa State University, are going at it right to study child psychology. They have a real-for-sure laboratory with twenty-four actual kiddies from two to four years of age in attendance three hours daily. These are observed, measured, medically inspected, played with, taught singing, rythmical exer cises, and stories. All sorts of devices toys, tools, and pictures are provided to interest them and records are kept of how they react toward them, both individually and in groups.

Love of Children There has been some anxiety, not ably on the part of those who do not know the woman-heart, lest the new freedom reached by woman will un sex her at least, will submerge her innate mother-love.

Perhaps the fewer number of chil dren born into civilization may make dearer those we have; and perhaps we shall concern ourselves more ar dently to save and develop the now neglected little ones. Even high honors, multiplicity of public responsibilities, financial or pro fessional success, cannot drown out the natural yearning of the eternal feminine the mother heart. This is demonstrated in the case of Dr. Ida M. Sandborn, of Chicago, eminently successful in her profession, but still craving the joys of mother hood. She has adopted seven little chil dren and enjoys the thrill of having a real '"home." She says she intends, not only to educate these children, but to love them," for she feels it is a ''wom an's right to rear children." Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston,--though holding seven prominent pub lic offices says, "I think the happiest hours of my life were spent in the public Library in Walla Walla. I was a teacher in the public schools and I I looked forward all week to the hour when the children gathered around me and I told them stories in the city li brary:" Mothers, do not look wistfully away into the world pining for its glory and its accomplishments.

Scrub brushes or hair brushes may be washed with luke-warm water and a little ammonia or borax. They should be rinsed in clear water. Take care not to wet the back of the brush in which the bristles are set or this may loosen the bristles. Have the water shallow in the basin and souse them up and down. Dry the brush with the bristles down or the brush tipped on side. Do not dry in intense heat. Sunshine whitens the bristles and is a sanitary agent.
