WHAT CIIILDKKX HEAD PKOPLE would not worry so much about what they call the "modern child," if they nly stopped to think that fathers nntl mothers, uncl'S and aunts, of every generation had their doubts as to the new generation. In fact, Adam and Eve were. In all probability, the only proud parents In nil history who never said, 'Children did riot do such things when we wer? 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 ago. It appears that they are finding rather dull some of the things that appealed to the youngsters of former days, and are demanding more excitement than Is good for them. t It is well, in thinking about such at subject, always to remember that older people have a weakness for considering any such change In taste as for the worse. That Is the compliment that maturity pays to Itself. The great trouble Is that we don't lememher what we really cared for when we were small. Many of the things that we were supposed to enjoy we didn't really like until we grew up. Others that were forced on us for our good were spoiled Sor us forever. Children have no sense of subtlety, or irony. This Is natural. They rem! "Alice in Wonderland," or "Gulliver's Travels," or -The Arabian Nights" for the straight story, not for any secondary meaning that is beyond them. A clever American woman suggests that the children, especially In a big family, should be encouraged to write 6tories 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 Roosevelt. That many-sided man was a child among his sons and daughters until the very last.

THERE never was a better time than today for the girl or woman who wants to do well in business to make a success. 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 been made manager of the lunch room in the Treasury building. This restaurant serves lunches to 1,0M) government employees every day. The. business detail of running such a place is great, and only a trained woman could undertake it. Hut Miss Dorothy Chapman Is trained, having been graduated in home economics at Cornell university, one of a large class. And these trained women will find the field 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 otlice workers in one of the big city otlice 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 und training! Training Is by no means a college career or work in a business school, though these are tine things to have. Training can ho self-acquired if you really want It. ( Copyright.) O the cheerful cherub I love to te outdoors in FUI It tkrilb tke Llue. wind Llows To KetiX tke.

LYRICS OF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE CONTEST. O I.I jijro 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 tire, Or each new storm new strength inspire? (Copyright.)

ERNESTINE. T""r:Ni:STINi; has an origin of lofty rj dignity. She is one of the "Eagle" names. Like many of the feminine names connected with mythology, the eagle occupied a position of great respect and even adoration among the an'-ients, and his name, with various sullira-s and prefixes, 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 homelund of the king of birds. Arnridur, or Arneidur, was the first 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 a quantity of silver sulliclent -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 ICrncstine was Arnthora, and later Annora, who was the wife of Hernard de St. Valeyr. Her name was carried into the family of ttraose by King John's victim, Maude de St. Valery, who called one of her daughters Minora. The masculine Ernesto, which preceded Ernestine directly, appeared first in Lombanly in the year 752, through Markgraif of Austria Ernst spread all over (Jermany after the Reformation, and it was Germany which finally formed the feminine Ernestine. Though still in great vogue there, it has of late years been contracted to Stlne, or Tine, or sometimes Erna. Hohemla calls her by elaborate Arnostinka, but Fngland and America took her over as Ernestine, and preserves her as such. The moonstone is Ernestine's talismanle gem. It is said to bring her good fortune and good health and is particularly lucky for lovers who, old legend Insists, may read the future in its depths. Sunday is her lucky da and 5 her lucky number.

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 paraffin paper and keep in the ice chest. It never spoils, for it doesn't last long enough. Tills 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 and cook slowly, closely covered, until quite tender, then brown. The chicken will be much more delicious nnd moist than if fried brown at once.

New Guinea (Prepared by the National Geocraplfic Society, Washington, D. C.) lerhaps it is logical enough that less should be known about the largest heavily inhabited island in the world Xv 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 beaten track. This island 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 dis-cuss-Ion 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, Now Guinea (or Papua, to give it its native name) Is n paradise 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 pure stock exist on the island, the negro strain has also been mixed with Malayan blood, resulting In numerous racial gradations. The natives of the southeastern part of the island may be said to hark back 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 custom of treedwelling is not followed to any great extent In other portions of Xow Guinea, the natives of the island all seem determined to live well ofT 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, nnd 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 tit the neck "pillows' which would hardly appeal to westerners as substitutes for their soft downfilled cushions. 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 fish. But as choice tidbits, some of the tribes eat certain Insects and tfc? meat of the world's

Mm Woman and Caby. largest clam. The shells of these hug; bivalves often weigh r. pounds, and the meat alone 'JO pounds. lteligioiisly, Xcw 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 witJi 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 Christians are to be found. Throughout most of the huge Island, however, paganism is rampant, the natives propitiating supposed evil spirits and the forces of nature. Because New Guinea is so far from countries with whose size we are familiar, we are likely to consider its ex.tent 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 300,000 square miles, and it is supposed to have aboti 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 hiis come to have a population of ",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 British established a protectorate over the southwestern portion of the country, and the Germans annexed the northeastern part the same year. The three countries agreed on boundaries in 1885, but their partition of the land was r I most wholly an acJjon on paper, for there had been little exploration of the interior. Each country in the yenrs since has established a few trading and mission posts and plantations in the coast country and lias set up the skeleton of a government, whose functioning, however, has had .little e.Tect in the Interior. The British portion of Papua has had the status of a territory of the federal government of Australia since 1I06. 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 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 New Guinea are either marsupials which carry their young in pockets, like the opossum and the kangaroo, or are beasts that lay eggs like birds. What New Guinea lacks in beasts of the field it makes up In birds of the air. As the home of 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 that count New Guinea their home Is the gorgeously colored and beautifully formed blrd-of-paradlse. Most interesting Is the romantic and Ingenious bower-bird, whicli builds a "pleasure dome solely as a place for Its lote-making.
