Pointers for Parents (Compiled by tho Kdltors of Th Parents Magazine) America cannot Improve by In-; creasing laws, or I in proving laws, 1 or even by Improving judicial pro-I ceduro. The great hope lies In Im pressing upon young people at an early ago a sense of personal ac countability nnd responsibility. The wholo scheme of Hcoutlng has boon worked out to develop thin sense, which we call character building. Wo endeavor through tho Hcout program tn develop a four-who:-hrake system; physical fitness, general education, vocational guld anne, character. v Probably some one needs Ui work out for traveling A merlctms ho urn Kcicntlflc adjustment between our, for the mont part excellent, hygienic habits, and the Inevitable limitations of foreign countries.

WhM shall we do If the baby, who has been eating well sudden ly reftiHcs food, and what shall we do if the baby does not wllllngjv eat enough to make an svenitfo gain In weight ? Probably more children's appetites are spoiled ny mismanagement of this first nt tark of loss of appetite than by any other one factor. Mismanagement Is du to lack of knowledge or ap preciation of a very simple physio logic fact. Poor appetite always ac companies the minor ailments of childhood. When n child first be gins to cut down on his food, take the hint and beat htm to It, h. muse In nine cases out of ten this poor appetite Is a symptom of on coming Illness. If, on lheothr hand, an attempt Is made to ure or force his usual diet upon him he will receive his first unpleasant reaction to food and will learn something of how Important you consider the matter.

T 10 TROUSERS BY CITY'S FAIR SEX Women in Medford aren't fining to wear the trousers at leant not literally spea;cng. And that's the verdict handed out by themselves, not by the masculine ponder. They bobbed their hair. They went to work. They went into sports. few years ngu they even adopted suspender. Hut now they may return to bustles, ruffles and stays, but trouners are one bit of apparel they're point: to leave to the original breadwinner. Chiefly because they don't want to wear them. Interviews yesterday dis closed. The majority agree with Lady Armstrong, wife of tho British consul general, "Women are back In frills and arc glad to be there. They're happier wearing skirts." The few. who might be called followers of Lucy Park, fashion export, who told the group 'meet ing of the Advertising Federation of America that "all indications favor tho prediction that women are moving toward adopting the only remaining masculine distinc tion In dress," merely sanction pH jamas for beach and breakfast. They won't wear thorn on tho streets. Although the home-making cen ter of the State Federation of Women's clubs In New York In troduced the wide cretonne pa jamas for work. Mrs. Maud Chap man, president of tho local Ilusl noss and Professional Women's club, has no time for "the silly Idea." ( 'Women have a sphere of their; own, she stated yesterday, wny should they try to bo like somo- nne else. The fashion trend to day Is not In the direction of trousers, but quite the opposite." "Women look horrible In trous ers. Of course, they're not go ing to wear them," Mrs. Josephine Jones, health nurso, ejaculated when approached with Lucy Park's message. "As to ruling the homo. Well women have enough senso to know they can do It more effectively In skirts."

Like the rooms In doors, this outdoor living room requires a definite design to cre ate a harmonious, well-balanced effect. This garden room should be screened so that It Isn't In full flew of the curious passerby, and also lo shut out unpleasant sur roundings. This screen may be provided by trees and tall shrubs, o r I y a wall or fence co v e r e d with graceful vines. Flowering shrubs are most pop ular for a screen and for the background border plantings. Hy skllUul planning, there will be an ever-changing display of bloss oms, followed In fall In nmny hued leaves and blight color spots of clustered berries, with decora tive bark also contributing to the beauty of the shrub border. Whether formal or Informal In design, there should be plenty of flowers In the outdoor living room. They furnish all-eason va riety of bloom, shnps or flower and type of plant, providing frag rance and harmonious colors thru the season, as well as blooms for rutting. Flower hinders should be planted In front of the back ground plant logs at the sides of the room. This gives a pleading netting for the colorful blooms, nnd At the same time leaves the center aren open end unobstruct- j ed. As the spa ce n vn liable for n outdoor living room Is most ofien square or rectangular, the simplest plans for the outdoor room are often laid along geometrical lines. In fact, very limited areas, where practically every part can be seen nt a glance, can often he developed more pleaslnsly 'n ime forma 1. straight -it no manner.

Hilly was lying, sobbing ns tho his heart were broken. It really wasn't his heart that was hurt, it was hif pride. Hut that Is about the very worst kind of hurt. Hilly had been nauirhty and his mother bail punished him ami Hilly hail fell that he was too big ever to be punished again. So he had hidden himself in the grass to cry away his hurt and wish for the day when he would be big enough to do as he phased. How surprised he would have been to know that one never grow big enough or old enough to do as one pleases! Presently, in one of his ipih-tcr luomenls. he thot he heard an other voice In distress. He list ened anil then hunted until he found what it was. A tiny baby iiuall, just a few days old. had dropped Into a hole In the ground and his parents had gone on with out him. lie, too. was crying bit terly. Hilly picked him up and cuddled him in his hand and un der his chin until the cries changed to contented peeps. Thorough search tui)cd to find the lost parents so Hilly carried the baby home. Strangely enough. In comforting the little lost quail, his own sorrow had been com pletely forgotten. Little "Puffy." as Hilly called him, grew to be a fine fat uuall. And why shouldn't he. when Hilly swatted files for htm all day long'.' At first he only had one fly a day but as he grew his appetite grew also and before long he was trail ing Hilly and the swatter picking up the files as they fell. When he could hold no more he would carefully wipe his beak and perch en Hllly's shoulder. At night Puffy stayed with the young chickens but early In the morning he was out eallfnir for "Puffy" Article VIII Tho Placing of Furniture in a Room The formal period room Is the aslest room to arrange. Authen tic pictures or a welj informed rofessional may be relied upon ;o select and arrange the proper Pieces of furniture In a correct nanner, but it is nevery very ippeallng and hospitable. The other type of room is nuch more difficult but far more pleasing. Personality must bo :he dominant feature in the live ible beautiful room and the first rule to be observed always Is to i void overcrowding. Too many pieces of furniture and too much .ric-a-brac give a room a clutter-d-up look and destroy the sense of balance bo essential to a rest ful effect. ' In the living room It Is quite natural that the fire place should be the center of interest for here is where hospitality begins. Hero conversation is at its best and comfortable seats should be so arouned that each person may be at his best. Arranged near by there should be good lights to read by and convenient tables for books, magazines and smoking things. Next in Importance are the window groups for people na turally linger near a window and here again easy conversation and the things which make for ease and comfort, must be placed close at hand. Never should any one piece of furniture be left alone and unattended. It is always best to leave the center of the room clear for this arrangement makes for easy movement about the room and general conversa tion. Study your room from every angle and see that each group of furniture so viewed presents a complete, comfortable artistic and restful picture. Heavy pieces of furniture should be so placed that; hn ennm hnu n well balanced ap- poarance and the wall line seen: oyer the tops of such pieces is un even and interesting. Itugs and all large pieces should be placed parallel with the walls too many1 oblique lines are confusing and , distracting. ! . 4 Apricot Roll 1 cup apricot jam, 2 cups flour, i louvniinno hftkln? nowder.

The whole summer long they were Inseparable and then when the leaves began to turn Puffy seemed to feel a call to go back to his own kind.
