Not only do clo ieti take care of a lot of Items for protective purposes, but also to get Items out nt 'ooms and thus prevent clutter. Closets, like rooms, should be planned with as much care as a bedroom, kitchen or living room, If they arc to Klve their best serv ice. Before you decide to tear down a wall to get more closet space, check to are If you're using what closet space you already have as efficiently us possible. Many aids have been Introduced to closets to muke them more prac tical. and these may well solve the always be protected by boxes or bags since closets do collect dust as any other place In the house. On shelves, they are ready to get Into easily. Label boxes for utmost effi ciency. Shelves such as those Just de scribed are also Ideal for hat box es, and these offer the best solu tion for keeping heudgear In as good condition as possible. However, If you do not feel there Is sufficient space for blankets as well as hat boxes on the shelves In the closet. It's now possible to attach hat racks or shelves to the backs of the doors of the closet. Protect hats stored on racks with zlppered or plastic covers made for the purpose. If hats are In con stant use, then only those used seldom need protective coverings. Shoe bags may be placed on the lower halves of the doors, while hat racks and shelves can go well ubove them. If you have a small closet which will take care of only essential clothing for a season, then you'll have to store clothing from another season elsewhere. Don’t try to keep all clothing in a small closet since everything will suffer. Instinct or Reason? The spirit of the new foot wear Is utterly feminine and sophisticated. Ph lured here are two current designs that typify the variety of materials now being used. At the left Is a basic suede decorated with varl-colored leaves across the toes. The lepves, besides giv ing color contrast on the vel vety white suede, also offer the contrast of reptile leather. At the right, shades of great grandmother’s quilts come to life In cotton patchwork on a slipper, with an all-over lining of polka dot. Ralph Pogue, of the Missouri j conservation commission relates f these stories which stir speculation as to whether creatures of the wild are able to reason, or depend en- ' tirely upon instinct: While fishing on Lake Norfolk ;ast summer, Frank Watts and Summerfield Jones, of West Plains, Mo., claim to have witnessed a I minnow play dead in order to evade a pursuing bass. The fishermen first noticed the minnow skipping wildly through the water, but when i it reached the shallow edge of the bank, it turned upon its side, evi dently playing dead.

Closets are no longer catch alls With current trends, this little room Is being made into a thing of beauty. Decorations for the closet are matched as carefully as for a y room exposed to public view. Color schemes can be planned to match the room to which the closet Is neurest. If you don’t want them to match the room, at least select some mode of decoration which will harmonize with the room to which the closet opens. Accessories may be made at home If you have the time and In clination. Otherwise, they may be purchased with much the same thought as you would buy other accessories for the home with a plan and purpose. Budget the items you want stored In a certain closet, then lay out a plan as to where each should be. Then you'll be well on the way to ward getting the most space and use from the storage space.

THE READER'S COURTROOM- Woman Follows Odd Occupation Crack in Back of Sacroiliac -By W ill Bernard, LL.B. If a Girl Gets Hurt Jitterbugging, May She Collect Damages?

During the party, one of the soldiers asked a girl to dance und she accepted—little realizing what was coming. The soldier hap pened to be a rabid Jitterbug, and immediately began flinging his partner around with reckless aban don The girl was terrified and Is a Pedestrian Supposed To Guess the Speed of An Oncoming Car? A businessman decided to wnlk across the street from his office for a cup of coffee. He noticed a car approaching at a distance, but figured that he still had plenty ot time to cross. He was wrong. The car, which was exceeding the speed lim it, knocked him down. Injured, the man sued for damages. At the trial, the motorist tried to shift the blame onto the pedestrian "for starting across the street when he could see how fast I was coming ” But the court held the motorist solely responsible for the accident. The judge said that, while a pe destrian must use due care, he needn't make “ mathematical calcu lations to see if he will beat an on coming car. • o • If a Person Confesses A Crime in His Sleep, May He be Convicted?

How much have your children had of those "household laws?” Our civilization was built up on them, and it is the best the world has ever known. Do your children know the p r a y e r that begins "Our Father?" Have they ever heard the word "duty?" What does it mean to them? Does it mean respect for Dad and Mother, helpfulness about the house, acceptance of restric tion in freedom, in pocket money, in hours wasted in amusement that ought to be spent on homework? Does "duty” mean manners and politeness, pleasantness to Granny and the aunts? Does it mean per sonal cleanliness and neatness in their rooms? Does it mean avoid ing the dirty little jokes that cir culate in school, the books whose sole recommendation is that they would shock the most sophisticated reader? A Lovely Virtue And "modesty." Modesty was a lovely virtue. It meant that girls didn’t expose their pretty young bodies just beyond the inches of coverage demanded by a lax law that isn't enforced. It meant that they didn't get drunk. It meant that they weren’t conspicuous in night clubs and saloons, and that their NEW YORK, N .Y .—Maxine Allen Schoyer has already worn out one rug. Attractive Mrs. Schoyer is un usual in two ways; She is an anni versary detective, and she's the only known history researcher who does most of her work lying on her stomach. " I went shopping for a new rug recently," she said, "and the sales woman was considerably upset when I told her I wanted a comfortable rug to lie on.” Discovering anniversary dates started out as a hobby with her. Always a bear for history, as a for mer newspaper reporter, adver tising copy writer, radio commenta tor and publicist she understands the importance in keeping track of the dates of past events. The hobby is threatening to be come a profitable business. Mrs. Schoyer and her husband, William, now publish an annual digest of im portant anniversaries. Orders come from newspapers, radio stations, ad agencies, publicity firms, lib ra ri ans, free lance writers, publishing j firms, music publishers and from people who like to read about anni versaries the way others like to read almanacs. Maxine does- the anniversary hunting, with occasional spare time assists from her three teen age sons and husband, she edits the volume. There's nothing that gives Mrs. Schoyer more pleasure than getting on the trail of a new anniversary. Anniversary fanciers consider a first rate anniversary to be a first, fifth, 10th, 25th, 50th, 100th, 500th or 1,000th. She claims she lives constantly in the past—finding anniversaries—or in the future—compiling next year's edition. Never the present.

But its strategy had been in vain. Suddenly the surface of the lake exploded and a big bass took the minnow under. There has been verification, Pogue says, of a "tall tale" printed in several Missouri newspapers about a wounded goose which was res cued by one of his fellow-geese. Winston E. Locker, of Iantha, Mo., says that James Wadlow claims to have shot the goose. Wadlow’s story was that while he and two friends were duck hunt ing near Sumner, a flight of geese came over and Wadlow fired twice at one of the birds, wounding it. He avers another goose dived about 10 feet to get under the injured comrade, which alighted on the second goose's back, and carried it for about 150 feet until the wound ed bird was able to wing away on its own power.

Any reasonably good shot can hit a clay pigeon, but it is a much dif ferent story when a rocketing grouse is the target. The gunner must have his mind completely on his work when he is trying to bag this king of all game birds. Grouse very seldom fly in a straight line and. as every grouse hunter knows, they have the infuriating faculty of managing to get tree or shrub between them and the gun in practically nine out of every ten cases. Their curving flight is very rapid and their amazing speed almost makes the hunter dizzy as he watches the bird dodge around hemlocks and pines so fast that there is very little chance to get a bead on it at all. A A A Thieves stealing public property art reported to the authorities. Game is public property, game violators art truly thieves and reporting such via lators is a moral law. A £s A Stunted Fish The problem of stunted fish Is not new. As early as 1875, Frank Buckland had published in his book, "Log-book of a Fisherman and Zoologist,” comments on the kinds of fish seined from a small pond in England. He wrote: " It was a very extraordinary thing to rem ark that, as a rule, the fish we caught were either very little or very big; there seemed to be no intermediate size. I cannot quite account for this, but it is worthy of rem ark that there were no predaceous fish among these herbivorous fish. It is generally the case where you have too many roach or crap, and no jack or perch, he.. all sheep and no wolves the fish are exceedingly abundant, but are all very small. It is nec essary in stocking ponds always to consider the balance of life, and put into them such as w ill keep down super - abundant population, and therefore prevent degeneration of the stock of vegetable feeders.” A A A Predator Data The fish and wildlife service Is recommending that farm ers avoid indiscriminate shooting and trap ping of small predators, and rely instead on selective trapping to take the occasional poultry-killing skunk or weasel. It also urges that nesting boxes be placed for use of small species of owls. The service points out that certain perdatory animals which keep mice under control are among the farm er's best friends.
