that Mis- Barker had not asked her

She rouipjtred Julia's dining room with
this Rlizabeth*s living room with the
room beyond the Japanese portieres
Yet what laid these things to do with
herself? If only she knew!
"Your re not crying over it. I hope !
A little thing like that." Mrs. Vane
said "Your face will look pretty for
the cluh meeting this afternoon.**
"I'm n??i going to the club It's only
a makeshift. I'm going to stay home
and'* think things out. was what she
could have added.
Mrs Vane shrugged her plump
shoulders. "Suit yourself." she re
marked dryly
After her mother had dressed and
gone to play bridge for the whole aft
ernotui Marjory washed the dishes and
put the small apartment In order
Then she sat down on the daven
port, set her square chin In her palms
and proceeded to think things out.
They had money enough, she and
her pM?t tier? father had seen to that
by leaving them a large life Insur
inr'9 She herself was not silly or self
Ish or hoy struck. Yet at the school
she attended she was not popular. A
few (lines she had felt that a niarve
lous friendship was dawning In her
life, but the girl would come once to
the apartment? and that would end
ft Rll/.abeth Craven's mother had
called, and nothing had come of It.
Ones Marjory bad asked a girl to
lunch; ner mother had ordered the
lunch. Afterward Marjory teamed that
rhe sir! abhorred potato sa'ad.
It was true they did oot live in a
nice way Mrs Vane embroidered and
played bridge. ? ?nce a week a woman
came in arid cleaned up. They culled
their f?w?d :is rhey could Mother was
noi interested in books or magazines
Marjory wanted n radio but her uioth
er disliked n?>.se. Lucia lived just
as mother did and Horace did no
stay ai home much.
"If ever I m. rry I shall do very
different with my husband." Marjory
thought.
The back door opened and she went
to see who was there. It was Mrs.
Lillie ready for an afternoon's work
"Vour ma said 1 could come this
' afternoon instead of tomorrow." Mrs
I. tile said She was a tiny, old woman
ramie -?f ste?-i and whalebone. durable,
efficient. t ireless. At least Marjory hait
thought her until this Instant
Now >'!?? r?*.i lixed that in Mrs. Lillie'*
raltn f i e w.is perhaps what she was
seeking.
"Have you ??.t daughters. Mrs. Lll

"Two. ttoth married. Mrs. Llllie I
was in the closet after the mop
"They rn irried well. I suppose?**
"Well enough to suit me. i'oor met)

take vour ma. my dear. As I've told j
tier many a time site wouldn't be near
so fat and sosgy if she stirrer] Tound
a little mure."
"Mrs. Lillie." Marjory clasped her j
bands, "our system of living Is aw ?
ful. isn't it?"
"System!" Mrs. I.illie looked at the
irirl. "Why. you haven't not any sys
tern. ' she said. "You live from hand
! to- mouth. And that isn't living."
"No, I know ?t isn't. Could it be
Mrs. Lillie. that I am not liked h.<
other ir : rls because ray home isn't like 1
| theirs?** |
"Well. I always tried to make home 1
pleasant fnr my girls when they were ;
young and wanted yotina company. 1
Mrs Lillie said "I gue-s it's pretty !
generally done t>y mothers every '
vvncn . I know Mrs. Craven ? I work ?
for her ? **
"Klizabeth's mother !"
"Yes. her." Mrs tJllie nodded.
"She's t nicest housekeeper and Uih ,

1 he matter with you taking a hand
yourself?"
"I will. ' Marjory cried earnestly
"Oh. Mrs. Lillie! Will you teach me
how to make a plain cake and bis
cuit and conk a roast?"
I 'inner that night was a success
' The apartment was spotless. Marjory
was tired hut beaming.
"You like this better than what
i we ve been doing, don't you. mother?"
| she said.
Of course Mrs. Vane did.
From that moment Marjory began i
serious task ? that of training bet I
mother. Tor mother must he trained j
if they were to have any life at all
"1 suppose." Mrs. Vane sighed. "I'll
get no peace until I've tidied up my i
room. Marjory, you're a perfect slave j
driver!" But the room was put to j
rights.
One evening Marjory, at hist sure ot j
herself, gave a little party. She asked j
all the girls and their mothers and !
they all came. The apartment was :
pretty. Mother wore simple black. |
Marjory white. Mrs. Lillie was in the
kitchen. There was a delicious white j
cake and fruit ice.
'You see." Marjory explained. "I've
changed tactics in school. I am going
to take a course in domestic science.
And mother" ? she looked around with
triumph in her eyes and a quiver on
he. lips? "mother is going to take
it with me." She laid her hand on j
Mrs. Vane's.
"Why. that is splendid!" cried Mrs. |
Craven.
"Yes." Mrs. Vane nodded compla j
cently "I am becoming so stout that
I Hnd I must take more exercise an<J
watch my diet. Besides." she added
earnestly. "I think It is a fine thin*;
for mot iter and daughter to he inter
estcd In the satne thing. And so I tell
Marjory."
Atmospheres of Planets
Observations of Venus have led to
the conclusion that its atmosphere Is
more dense than ours. A thlp atmos
phere enveh>i? Mara, but It Is neither
so extensive nor so dense hb our own
There are unmistakable Indications
of a dense and very extended atmos

Old Crop? Often
Found Disguised
New and Fancy Names Give
Impression of Discovery
of Value.
, (Prepared bv the L'nlterl State? Department
of Agriculture. >
Every now and then some old r>nt
little-known name gets considerable
notice in stories and advertisements
in the press. Many people pet the im
; pression that by some magic power
j a new crop has heen discovered which
? has all the good qualities and none of
i the short comings of the crops com
monly grown.
To some extent this is the situation
which now exists regarding proso or
"hershey." says Dr. John FI. Martin,
<*ereal crop specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Proso is not a now crop. It was in
troduced into the United States during
the early colonial period, and has heen
j listed in the catalogues of leading
seed dealers for many years. Neither
is if a "magic" crop, hut it has both
| good points nnd had points.
Called "Hershey."
Hoc millet, broomcom millet. Early
Fortune millet, and Manitoba millet
are the names by which the crop is
Nest known, says Doctor Martin, but
I it usually is called "hershey" in north
! eastern Colorado and the adjacent sec
j tions of Kansas and Nebraska.
Proso is grown mostly in the Da
| kotas and in northeastern Colorado,
hut is found occasionally on farms in
many other states, it is best adapted
| for growing as a late-sown catch crop
i in the northern great plain states.
Even there it usually does not yield
| as well s other grains sown at the
proper time, bet can be sown later
than other spring era ins. Proso usual
ly is sown on land which was not pre
pared In time fo. other crops or on
which some other crop has been de
stroyed. It matures within 00 to 85
days from seeding.
Not Satisfactory.
Proso is not :is satisfactory a hay
crop for late seeding us Sudan grass
and the foxtail millets, adds Doctor
Martin. In the southern plains where
grain sorghums yield well or in the
northeast where buckwheat is adapted,
these crops produce more grain from
late seeding than will proso.
Seed of ihi* croj is an ingredient
of most mixed bird feeds, many chick
feeds, anil some scratch feeds. It is a
satisfactor> feed for poultry, hogs,
and sheep, and can be fed also to
horses and cattle. Proso has been
found to he practically equal in feed
ing value to com and barley when
fed to pigs or lambs.
Vitamin E Is Essential
for Breeding Animals
For many years chemists have
known thai some substance In the
germ <>t corn ami wheat vitally af
fecteil the growth jyid development of :
animals. Just recently the discoveries
of Herbert \V Evans and Cieorge O.
Burr, published In the proceedings of
the National Academy of Science, gave
official recognition of this substance
as a vitamin.
It Is called vitamin R. It is found
abundantly In nature; its chief source
being in the seeds and green leaves of
certain plants ns well as in some of
the glands of animals, ns for instance
the liver.
This vitamin has a great deal to do
with the reproductive ability of ani
mals. Some authorities claim that it
is solely responsible for the very ex
istence of living organisms. Re
searches indicate that animals, either
male or female, that are deprived en
tirely of foods containing vitamin E
appear to he absolutely Incapable of
reproduction.
Spraying Potatoes Is
Profitable Practice
Surveys by the Pennsylvania Pota- I
to Grower's association show that a i
man cannot afford to raise spuds un- i
less he sprays often and carefully.
A number of growers of long expe- !
rience averaged 3811 bushels for spray j
liig an average of 12.6 times, while
plots treated otherwise the same, ex
cept that they were unsprayed.' yield
ed only 241 bushels. <'areful spraying
gave an Increase of 01.4 per cent, a
difference which will always boost the
net income.
Water Is Essential for
Good Health of Trees
Trees need enormous quantities ot
water to keep them In a healthy con
dltlon. says the United State* Depart
ment of Agriculture. An apple tree
thirty years old gives off approxl
mately a barrel of wafer a day in sum
mer. and a good -sized hlrch tree gives
off nearly two barrels of water on a
hot day. A single oak tree Is known
to have given off Into the air In th?
form of vapor more than 10? tons o'
water In a single growing season.
MakesLife
Sweeter
Children's stomachs sour, and
need an anti-acid. Keep their sys
tems .sweet with Philiips Milk of
Magnesia !
When tongue or breath tells of
acid condition ? correct it with a
spoonful of Phillips. Most men and
women have been comforted by this
universal sweetener ? more mothers
should invoke its aid for their chil
dren. It is a pleasant thing to take,
yet neutralizes more acid than the
harsher things too often employed
for the purpose. No household
should he without It.
Phillips is the genuine, prescrip
tlonal product physicians endorse
for general use: the name is impor
tant. "Milk of Magnesia" has been
the U. S. registered trade mark of
the Charles II. Phillips Chemical
Co. and its predecessor Charles II.
