KELLY PATNE Open Letter to a Driver Who Speeds Through Our Streets I saw you barely miss a little boy on a bicycle this afternoon and heard you yell, "Get the H — out of the way! Don't you know any better than to ride in the street?" He didn't answer because he hasn't learned to talk very well yet, so I'm going to answer for him. No, the little boy doesn't know any better than to ride his tri cycle in the street. He has been warned not to, but little boys don't always heed warnings. Some adults don't either, especially traffic warnings: for example, the one limiting the speed of automobiles. I'm going to tell you something about that little boy. He has a mother who endured considerable inconveniences, anxiety and suf fering to bring him into the world. He has a father who has worked hard and made many sacrifices to make him healthy and happy. The supreme purpose of their lives is to have their little boy grow up to be a useful man. Now stop a minute and think. If you should kill a child how would you feel facing his parents? What excuse could you give them for having robbed them of their dearest possession? More important what excuse could you possibly offer Him whose Kingdom is made up of little children? Children, my hasty friend, were here long before you or your automobile were thought of. All the automobiles on earth are not worth the life of the little boy. We don't know what that little boy may some day be, but we can't spare a single little boy on this street —A DAD. (Reprint from The Right Hand") School Days Ahead It won't be so long before school bells will be ringing and re minding us that Fall is at hand. School bells are a symbol of time to prepare for the winter ahead. It is a time to find out what school commencement really meant —a commencing, a beginning without end. Everyone sort of lets down in the summer and takes things a little easier. Fall is a time to snap out of summer slumber and take stock of ourselves as well as what must be done to plan for the days ahead. The routine and pace changes a little with Fall and as things pick up, if things have been well planned the household run a little better. Now is the time to look to those matters which school time brings to our attention. It is a good time to not only have "Junior" and "Sister" see the doctor and dentist for a check up, it is a good time for Mom and Pop and every individual, also. Now is the time to plan to get all those things done that we have been putting off simple because "it is too much trouble". Then fuel is a problem and the better shape our heating systems are, the more economical our fuel bills will seem. Better check over that system now and get in those order for winter fuel Clothes again become a problem with change of season. For those -with the school problem of clothes, it is smart to be thrifty: get simple patterns and sturdy fabrics and roll out the sewing ma chine. For those clothes and suits that will be needed from the stores, it is a good month to be looking around for good buys. Taking care of a few things along, won't make the seasonal change seem so difficult Everything will not pile up to be bought at one time or to be done at one time. Think things over, check up on what you need to do and start doing something about it now. PILGRIM'S PROGRESS Mother from Upstairs: Olga, is that young man there yet? Olga: No mother, but he's get ting there! The body will convert two thirds of the carotene in cooked kale to vitamin A. The pile of all Oriental rugs is tied by hand, tuft by tuft, to the warp, or becking of the rug. The value of Oriental rugi de pends largely upon the number of knots to the square inch. You can make four baby blankets from one old regular size blanket Bind with ribbon or blanket binding. To brighten tarnished gold jewelery rub it lightly with a tooth brush tipped in ammonia and then baking soda. Careless use of matches and smoking causes 29.44 per cent of fires in the U. S. To remove paint splatters from window panes, scrape with a ra zor blade, then scrub with soap and water. , Tfff ? »TT E * jv°™ REPORTERS SAY...
