Birds and Frogs Friends to Dahlias , ' I wonder how many Dahlia fans realize how many insects the hirriH and fross will kill In the S, Bardens8 w: hlve'pu. many bird houses around our dahlia panlens and in the summer there i.re dozens of birds among the dahlias, hunting insects, many 0f j which are too small for us to see. Anhhf, leafhoppers, trip, etc., both-'- us very little and ;ve do very fIle spraying since the birds have taken up their homes with us. We i-ead a few days ago that one pair of Insect-eating birds will do more good In a garden than a five gallon spray used every week, and Mnce having the birds, we do not doubt it. Itirds are so Interesting to have around, and with good treatment will become very tame. We have 11 bird bath in the gardens arid on warm summer days have seen as many as 50 birds (of many kinds), on the hushes around the bath, at nne time, waiting their turn to ! drink or bathe and sometimes i three or four in the bath at once. S We have also seen them take a bath In the winter when the tem 1 peru Hi re was almost down to j freezing and it made us shiver to ! see them do it. We also put up ! feeding, stations for the winter ' when their feed is scarce, for we ' do Hot forgot the help they were ! to iis in the summer. Tl'rngs and toads are also won f dcrful friends to the gardens. We have a lily pool about 14 feet by 4 y feet, anil on warm summer days CAMPUS QUEEN i 'Here is the 1928 edition of the campft queen of Wittenb-rg col I lege, Springfield, O.

Mother as I'll 111 Censor Can mothers and teachers afford to ignore the character and effect of such a force as the movie In the education of children. A great Ideal hs been said about the evils I of censorship and It can be and I very often Is destructive nnd In j effective in producing the desired results. Put that Is the variety properly called official censorship land it Is a dangerous and difficult 1 method. I Put there is a form of censor ship which Is part nnd parcel of j responsibility. Mothers exerclho It all the time till their children ore I old enough to exercise it ore or j less wisely for themselves. They j censor the food their children eat. the clothes they wear, the schools , they go to. the companions with whom they associate, nnd a dozen lot Tier things. i Don't they? Then why shouldn't 1 they investigate and censor ' the mental food they get In their I growing years' The movies ure here to stay and j the important thing Is to know what they are and what they are doing to your children. You can't '.shift that responsibility to the shoulders of any board or group of people, i And when you know, keep the children away from the wrong ones land support the right ones by your i presence and your commendation, i "Pind very man's life stands i mother. She. more than nnyone or anything else, molds his destiny. ' '. Jste is not enough.

N D. 1 Dear Mary Ann Here's a story 1 I have written: Tin. I.'tifl nr lin TVt.lt Long ago before the white men came over, there was an Indian i boy who was very strong. He was ijucry, Mrs. 1. P. Answer. A door made in two parts so that the upper half may he opened while the lower half romnins closed. These doors were used extensively as from doors by the Colonial Dutch settlers in New York and Pennsylvania. Heavy 'iron hinges should be used on such doors. Query. When a piece of goods has been dyed and rinsed well how 'should it be dried? Mrs. K. K. W. 1 Answer. Do not hang it up un less there happens to be a stiff j i wind until after you have shaken I I it almost dry. Otherwise the dyes j j settle In the lower edges. Shake 1 I the piece of cloth well turning It constantly. After it is partly dry j It can be hung up. Query. What Is chintz? Mrs. I P. T. j Answer. Originally the name : was applied to an lCugllsli cotton fxhrle with a siiiull flcrtire 111 caV i floral design. 1 Query. What colors can I com bine in my kitchen? The walls are yellow. Mrs. E. Answer. If the walls arc n o t too bright a yellow and tho room none too sunny, use a gray green wood work and small touches of Chinese red. However, If the. walls 1 I him bright yellow have tho wood i work dune In a soft gray and then : use touches of bright green and dull red for accents. I Query.

Then he Jumped on his pony and rode as fast as his horse could carry him back to his tribe. He told the other braves the plan he had heard. This news caused them to run to a safer place, nnd that was how the brave had saved his tribe. Put that wasn't the end of the war. Soon the white men came thick ami built houses that they seemed to be everywhere. So the Indians went back into the moun tains. I "e yf,H" ft terrible disease came !nml 1'",k tn ,lvpM of nny dians. It caused hundreds of deaths, and there were so few left that they went farther back Into the mountains to stay, A man came In one day and he wanted to get all the land for his governor, and decided to put the Indians on a rt'Hervallon. Put the Indians didn't like this. Now, this young Indian brave. Instead of going to the reservation, be went to t b highest peak his horse could ctlmh. It was a clear night and tho stars were shining, the big yellow tfionn also shone lulght and char. He raised his hrad nnd prayed that his irllic might be saved.

Pointers forParents j The World is gelling over the fitful spell whclh has held It in n fast grip for the past few weeks. Little by little the loud. Mustering days are passing away. Those were the days when nature knew Just what to do. pefore winter could let go her hold upon tho earth, meadows, forest mid upland had to be lashed by the winds of March and swept clean by the howling winds of old' Poreas. Put Just now It Is a question whether nature had better laugh or cry. One moment out dashes the sunshine and warms things up so that th old dog creeps around on the south side of tho house and stretches himself out to take a nap. Then hi almost no time along comes a shower, darkening the sun and awakening Towser from his slumbers. Laughing and crying al most in the same breath, this is April. Hut isn't there more or sunshine than of shower? And do not the little rains make the world brighter and fresher every time they come? The boys brought homo from the woods this morning some spring 1 lowers, the first of the season. How pretty they look on the table now! Listening we can hear the world whispering, "It will be better tomorrow. You'll see. Even now I am beginning to think out so many good things for the days to come. Put Just now. let me have my cry out. Don't blame me for shedding a few tears when April comes. I'm so happy!" Yes. April, month of the smites and the tears, laugh and cry to your heart's content. We have done the same more than once, and we know how much good it does a-body to be so happy we don't realty know whether to wlpo our eyes on our coat sleeve or pull down the window shade to keep tho carpet from fading where the sunlight strikes. Wa will take you at your wont and wait for the morrow when the steadier hours will come and this old earth will be bathed from morning tilt night In a great flood of glory. Song birds will be here then end flowers everywhere. We can go out ami tramp tho fields to our heart's content and never think of needing an umbrella. So keep It up! Laugh till you cry nnd cry till you laugh. It ls April's way and who ever know a better way? J. 4. -J. 4 a 4.

To avoid this, place a piece of card board along the edge of the door frame or window casing that Is to he cleaned, moving It along as you work. You not olny prevent the soiling of tho walls, but tho device enables you to work faster nnd more thoroughly. Mrs. D. S.
