WHAT CHILDREN HKA1)

PKOPLi: would not worry much about what they call tin "modern child," If they only stopped to think that fathers and mothers, uncles and mints, of every generation had their doubts as to the new generatlon. In fact, Adam and Kve were. In all probability, the only proud parents In all history who never said, "Children did not do such things when we were young." The very latest discovery that has been made about the little boys and girls of America Is that their taste In reading is quite different from that of their elders at the same age. It appears that they are finding rather dull some of the things that appealed t the youngsters of former days, and an. demanding more excitement than Is good for them. It is well, in thinking about such a subject, always to remember that older people have a weakness for considering any such hange in taste as for the worse. That Is the compliment that maturity pays to itself. Tin great trouble is that we 'don't remember what we really cared for when we were small. Muny of the things that we were supposed to enjoy we didn't really like until we grew up. Others that were forced on us fr our good were, spoiled for us forever. Children have no sense of subtlety, or irony. This is natural. They read "Alice in Wonderland," or '(lUlllver's Travels," or "The Arabian Nights" for the straight story, not for any secondary meaning that Is beyord them. A clever American woman suggests that the children, especially in a big family, should be encouraged to write stories of wild adventure for each other. This is not so impossible or farfetched as it .seems. A good example came to light recently in the case of the children of Theodore Uooscvelt. That many-sided man was a child among Ids sons and daughters until the very last.

The world needs constructive work. It doesn't care who does it, provided the work is good. Women are picked for jobs that not long ago would certainly have gone to men. In Washington, for instance, a girl has leen made manager of the lunch room in the Treasury building. This restaurant serves lunches to 1,0K government employees every day. The business detail of running such a place is great, i and only a trained woman could un- j dertake it. Hut Miss Dorothy Chap- j man is trained, having been graduat- j cd in home economics at Cornell uni- I versity, one of a large class. And j these trained women will find the field i ready for them. There are other ways for women who have taken special training in domestic science to make money. One such woman serves box lunches to office workers in one of the big city office buildings. These lunches are put up at different prices, three grades, each containing a balanced ration, excellent food, well-prepared and daintily served in Its white box. There is certainly an opportunity to use this idea at railway stations. The thing is to be the first in the field at the chosen center. Honest value and sound methods are what are needed and training! Training is by no means a college career or work in a business school, though these are fine things ;o have. Train ing can be self-acquired if you really ; want it. (Copyright.) O .

LYRICS OF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE CONTES" O Id) age complains when Winter reigns. Hut youth runs out to play And finds in storms a thing that warms Its pulses all the way It is the contest so intense With Winter's angry elements. The weak perspire beside the lire And shiver with the cold; The sturdy go to meet the snow With hearts increasing bold, With hearts made stronger by the gale, Whatever arrows may assail. The timid groan, the timid moan. When troubles cloud the sky; The brave go out and do not doubt. Unfriendly fate defy, And find each contest bravely met Makes each contestant braver yet. When thunders roll before your goal. What will your answer be? Will you go forth to face the north. Or from the norther llee? Does Winter drive you to your fire, Or each new storm new strength inspire?

ERNESTINE. EIINKSTINK has an origin of lofty dignity. She is. one of the "Hagle" names. Like many of the ferninine names connected with mythology, the eagle occupied a position of great respect and even adoration among the anHents, and his name, with various sullixcs and preüxes furnished many of the cognomens then in vogue. In Scotland the word for eagle was "erne" and the mune was found in all countries where there were mountains, the homelrud of the king of birds. Arnridur, or Ameidur, was the tirst of the eagle ladies. She was said to be the daughter of Asbiorn, of the Hebrides, who was sold to an Icelander named Katell Thymr. This lady had the good fortune to find :t quantity of silver sulheient for her ransom beneath the roots of a tree, but she decided to remain the wife of Thymr and goes down In history as one of the famous women of Iceland. The next step in the evolution of Krnestine was Arnthora, and later Annora, who was the wife of Pcrnard de St. Valeyr. Her name was carried into the family of lira ose by King John's victim, Maude de St. Valery, who called one of her daughters Annora. The masculine Kniest o, which preceded Krnestine directly, appeared first in Lombardy in the year 7oL through MarUgralf of Austria Ernst spread all over Germany after theltefonnatlon, and it was (Jermany which finally formed the feminine Krnestine. Though still in great vogue there, it lias of late years heen contracted to Stine, or Tine, or sometimes Erna. P.ohoinm calls her by elaborate" Arnostinka, but England and America took her over as Ernestine, and preserves her as such. The moonstone is Krnestine s tailsmanic gem. It is said to bring her good fortune and good health and i particularly lucky for lovers who, old legend insists, may read the future in its depths. Sunday is her lucky da and 3 her lucky number.

DAYS j good, snappy American cheese, put ; through the meat chopper, also grind ' with three hard-cooked eggs, three or i four canned pimentoes. Alternate the egg and peppers through the grinder to save the juice of the pepper, season with salt and cayenne, add mayonnaise dressing to moisten, and put away to chill. Cover with parafiiu paper and keep in the ice chest. It never spoils, for it doesn't last long enough. This is excellent for the sandwich tilling for hungry boys and men who carry lunches to school or work. Fried Chicken With Boiled Rice. Cut up the chicken for frying, add butter to the hot frying pan, sprinkle the seasoning in Hour and . roll each piece until well covered. Place in the pan ami cook slowly, closely covered, until quite tender, then brown. The chicken will be much more delicious and moist than if fried brown at once. j Heap a mound of well-cooked hot rice in the center of the platter, surroun l j with the chicken and serve with ripe olives. Twin Mountain Muffins. Cream one-third of a cupful of better, add one-fourth of : cupful of sugar, then alternately add three- , fourths of a cupful of milk, two cupfuN of sifted Hour, sifted with four tea spoonfuls of baking powder and one-fourth of a teapoonful of salt; add one egg well beaten, mix and bake in gem pans. A cupful of welllb mred blueberries, or dates finely cut. may be added if desired. Copyright. 1921. YVrffrn Newspaper Union

New Guinea (Prepared ty the National (k-ocraphlc So ciety, Washington, D. ('.) IVrhaps it is logical enough that! less should be known about the largest heavily inhabited island in the world Nflw Guinea than about the smaller and more easily traversed lands of the sea, especially since it lies, like the neighboring continent of Australia, near the antipodes of the western ! world, far from the heaten track. This inland has come into notice recently through the action of the League of Nations in giving to Australia the mandate for its northeastern quarter, formerly a colonial possession of Germany. It is probable, too. that it may be one of the subjects of discussion when the problems of the Pacific are taken up in Washington. Except for a fringe of a few widely separated settlements and mission stations along the coasts, New Guinea (or Papua, to give it its native name) is a paraif.se of savagery. Probably in no other area of equal extent in the world has civilization made so light an imprint. In the interior of the great island heads are hunted as in smaller regions elsewhere, cannibal feasts are held, savage dialects are spoken Innocent of any modification by civilized language, primitive weapons are used, and there is practically no contact with and no knowledge of the outside world. Origin of Papuans Unknown. The origin of the "oriental negroes" of Papua Is an unsolved problem to ethnologists. On most of the islands to the east and north and toward Asia, straight-haired, -relatively fair Malays are found. But the Papuans are black, woolly-haired negroes like the natives of the far-away Guinea coast of western Africa. It was this ! resemblance between the Inhabitants of Papua and Guinea that gave the Island its more common name among .westerners. Though the Papuan race Is distinct, and though large numbers of the pare stock exist on the island, the negro strain has also been m!xed with Malayan blood, resulting In numerous racial gradations. The natives of the southeastern part of the island may be said to hark bark to the days of their arboreal, pre-human ancestors, for they live in rude leaf and strawthatched hovels which they construct in trees. Though this eustorn of treedwelling is not followed to any great extent in other portions of NewGuinea, the natives of the Island all seem determined to live well olT the ground. The favorite habitations throughout a large part of the country are constructed on high piles. On the protected ground beneath these structures the culinary operations are usually carried on. Many of the buildings are long, narrow communal affairs, housing a score or more of natives. In many cases these habitations are merely dark tunnels, but in others they are divided into compartments. Clothing bothers the Papuans but little, but they give much attention to painting and tatoolng their bodies, and to bedecking themselves with neck, nose and ear ornaments. Odd Native Customs. There is very little furniture In Papuan dwellings to be shifted about by the "lady of the house" on cleaning day. Important among the few movables are hard narrow wooden blocks, scooped out to fit the neck "pillows' which would kardly appeal to westerners as substitutes for their soft downfilled cush!ons. Some of the tribes near the coast have a passion for bathing, so great that they impute a love of the water to the spirits of their departed tribesmen. To facilitate "spirit bathing." surviving relatives and friends carefully construct and keep open paths leading from each grave to the sea. When they are not dining on choice cuts from some enemy tribesman, Papuans eat in the main a prosaic enough diet of bananas, yams, sago, breadfruit and the meats of various animals and fi.h. liut as choice tidbits, some of the tribes eat certain Insects and tfce meat of the world's '

Woman and Baby.

largest clam. The shells of these hug': bivalves often woitrh ."OO pounds, and the meat alone '20 pounds. Keligiously, New Guinea is a mixture, just as it is politically. Mohammedanism has a slight foothold on the west coast, due to the contact of the tribes there with the Mohammedans of the islands extending off toward Asia. Christian missions are located at intervals along the coast all around the island, but the number of natives so far Christianized Is small. On some of the tiny islands lying in the strait between New Guinea and Australia entire communities of Christ Inns are to be found. Throughout ino.st of the hupe island, however, paganism is rampant, the natives propitiating supposed evil spirits and the forces of nature. liocause New Guinea is so far from countries with whose size we ure familiar, we are likely to consider its extent rather vague. If the island could be laid down along our Atlantic coast we would soon appreciate its vastness. It is approximately 1,500 miles long, and would reach from the southern tip of Florida to the northernmost point on the coast of Maine. Its 400 miles of width would cover two-thirds the distance of Bermuda. The area of the island is close to :00,000 square miles, and it is supposed to have about 1.000,000 inhabitants. History of the Island. New Guinea was discovered more than half a century before Australia was first sighted; but while the latter has come to have a population of 0.000,000 white people, and is the seat of an important, modern Christian government, the former is still almost the undisputed domain of savagery. The Dutch laid the first claim to territory in the island, but confined their operations' to the western end. In 1SS4 the P.ritish established a protectorate over the southwestern portion of the country, and the Germs ns annexed the northeastern part the same year. The three countries agreed on boundaries in lSsr. but their partition of the land was almost wholly an action on paper, for there had been little exploration of the interior. Each country In the years since has established a few trading and mission posts and plantations in the coast country and has set up the skeleton of a government, whose functioning, however, has had little effect in the interior. The British portion of Papua has had the status of a territory of the federal government of Australia since lliOd, and the recent action of the League of Nations in placing the former German New Guinea In Australian hands under mandate gives that commonwealth control of a little over half of the island's total area. Strange Animal Life. The animal life of the world's biggest tropical island, like that of neighboring f Australia, is strange and bizarre in western eyes. In ancient geologic ages Papua and Australia were connected. Apparently for millions of years they have been separated entirely from the rest of the world, so that their animal types are a survival from the remote past. With the exception of the pig, which probably was brought from Asia relatively recently, all of the mammals of NewGuinea are either marsupials which' carry their young in pockets, like the opossum and the kangaroo, or tre beasts that lay eggs like birds. Wha New Guinea lacks in beasts of the field it makes up in birds of the air. As the home oL hundreds of species of feathered creatures, it is more favored than many other portions of the earth's surface. Its dense tropical forests are alive with them birds of almost every conceivable size and shape and of a bewildering combination of colors. Most striking of the many birds tlnit count New Guinea their home Is the gorgeously colored and beautifully formed blrd-of-paradise. Most interesting is the romantic and Ingenious bower-bird, which build a "pleasure dome solely as a place fr its lo-.e-making.
