ANSWER~—This letter represents the sentimental viewpoint per-
fectly.
It is held mostly by people who have not lived with the old
or who have had no problem with them. Here is the other side of
the picture.

call it a home, for it is ruled by my mother. (She appointed herself.)
She criticises every move we make,
insults our friends, and we are not
allowed to use our own things without criticism. We live in a respectable section of the city, but that doesn’t stop her from sitting on the front porch barefooted and with a dirty dress ot Although I have tried to break her of this, she seems to get
pleasure from the discomfort it causes me.
Then, too, we have to

Advises Setting Up Habit of Being on Time

B
Time Should Be I think the parceling of time quite as important as the budgetof money. There is just so much and no more. Don’t let him start off to his music lesson five minutes late. The teacher will have to throw her whole schedule off just because he ted to finish
Don't struggle and scold to get him oft to school on time. Make him learn to watch the clock and get there on his own. And if he doesn't show up for supper, don't save his plate. No, don’t. Forget about his stomach and don’t go carrying up a cold snack to bed later on. He won't starve. A habit of promptness may make him a million dollars some day and provide many meals. - Of course, you will have to cooperate. When he goes to school, breakfast has to be early. You are his best example. The child of dilatory parents can not be expected to uphold the honor of the name. This goes for almost everything.
Tardiness Inconsiderate
Nothing makes me madder than to go to the hairdresser’s at an ap- | pointed hour—maybe I have broken my neck to get there—and find my appointment delayed because Mrs. Smith ahead of me was 20 minutes late for hers. Once a lady who was to meet me at a place for lunch made me wait an hour and a half. She said calmly that she had decided to stop at her dressmaker’s on the way to town. I would rather have done without lunch than wait in the heat for a very casual woman. I have ree served my affection for her ever since. . Make the child prompt. He will never learn younger. There are so many reasons for it. But the best one is that he will learn poise and security, and not have to excuse himself ((f he has the grace)

Soup Returns to Favor With Fall's Arrival
By NEA Bervice As soon as the weather gets cooler we begin to plan our meals with a first course in mind. In hot weather, when appetites lag, we are likely to simplify meals and get along with a main dish, salad and dessert. - But there’s little or no excuse for doing without a good homes made soup when the days are cold.
Vegetable Soup for Six
One-half cup olive oil, 6 fo 8 onions, pepper, paprika, salt, 3 car=rots, 1 cup shredded cabbage, 2 cups tomato juice, 2 or 3 leftover cooked potatoes. : This is the simplest method of making a good soup if you don't happen to have any meat stock in the house. Cook the chopped onions very slowly, until browned, in the clive oil in a large kettle. Meanwhile cook the cabbage and sliced or diced carrots in just enough water to cover. . When the onjons are tender, add the carrots and cabbage and the water in which they were cooker. Add the 2 cups of tomato juice, salt, pepper and paprika to teste. Left-over cooked meat. may be ground and used also. Add the potatoes, diced fine. Do not let soup boil after adde ing the tomato juice; simply ict it simmer for ten or fifteen minutes: If you are having veal cuilets. for dinner, don’t throw away. the scraps of veal that you trim from thé cutlets. Put them in a keftle; cover with water, add an onion, a carrot sliced, salt, pepper and
~ | paprika and let this boil for two
hours. Strain and you have a delicious meat broth with all the fine flavor of the meat. ; Serve very hot in bouillon ‘ups with chopped parsley and croutons,
Meeting Marks Parent-Teacher ~~ Week Progra
| !
| Parent-Teacher Week, Oct. 4 to 10, as proclaimed by Gov. McNutt, today was marked by a conference of the Seventh District, Indiana
this rule that he devotes an entire chapter of his book to it. By the conscious or subconscious use of the “rule of eight,” expert players can figure out when their opponents
are making psychic bids. They can also tell, within reasonable limits, when they can “bid safely and when they had better retire and wait for a new hand. In today’s hand East held better than 3% honor tricks, but when South bid one spade and North bid two hearts, East did some thinking. He knew that South would have about three honor tricks, which are shown by an opening bid, and that North would have something like two honor tricks to be able to bid two of a new suit. The North-South total of honor {ricks, therefore, would be somewhere between 41; and 5. Add these to East’s 3% honor tricks, and all 8 or 8% of the honor tricks in the deck are accounted for. It follows that West must have a near-Yaraborough.
keep quiet with such a good hand, and permitted North and South to wind up finally in a two spade contract. : Three spades were made, but if East had tried to enter the bidding, he would have been doubled and set 500 points or more at any contract he might attempt. _ (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Ine.)
