Helping Mother. Many girls complain when their Blethers ask them to help do some housework or watch the baby. Girls of this klBd say tbey would prefer to play a game or go visiting than, to do that "hateful housework." ' There ts another type of girl who takes care of a little brother or sister after school and on Saturdays and Sundays. . You see these little mother wheeling , the baby carriages, playing with the little children and making them happy aid contented. Others are proud that they can tie one of mother's big aprons about them, or put on one ef their own, and help mother in the kitchen or with other house- : wora. mey never pout, aouui. meir . 4 etit- - t x il . it "harder than other children." Why are they s6 happy and satisfied? Simply because they have noble characters and good hearts. They believe in being helpful and kind. When the Sunday school teacher - talks about helping others these girls .know from , experience that they have done this. The other

type of girls must feel ashamed down in their hearts when they say v they 1 are .helpful and know that mother has an awful time to get

them to do anything. t The Cry Baby., You know what a cry baby is. A boy. or girl that cries whenever he or she cannot have his own way is a cry baby. No- one likes a cry baby. Why should one think much of a selfish boy or girl who always wants his playmates to do just as he wants them to do. Don't bo a cry baby, but be kind, and try to be fair to your playmates. If yon. are kind and considerate, they will be kind to you. Staying Out Late. Many young boys are telling their mothers all sorts of lies these evenings about staying out late at night Since the evenings have become warmer, boys like to play as late as they can or take walks downtown. We know of a boy who has been telling lies to his mother all year. He has been telling her that he Is visiting a boy in the

next block, wtien in reality he has been playing on the streets. Boys need plenty of sleep when tbey are young. They ought to be in their homes by 7 o'clock and ought not be out night after night until 9:30 o'clock. Mothers should do some inquiring of their own to see if their sons are telling the truth about the places where they spend their evenings. Some of them might learn some very unpleasant facts. A boy who will lie to his mother as to his whereabouts nay regret the falsehood later on. "You cannot lie and cheat without suffering the penalty some time. Many a man later in life has regretted that he lied to Ills mother. ' The Newsboy. The newsboy is the smallest merchant in town, but he is one of the busiest He calls on every customer every day7 makes a sale, delivers the goods, and solicits future business. ' Thousands of papers reach as, many homes every day, because the newsboy is on the job, in sunshine and storm, faithful and dependable. ' We give the newsboy too little credit for his business ability and his honesty. lie learns the fundamentals of approaching patrons, giving them a selling talk, convincing them of the desirability of reading a paper, and of Impelling them to subscribe. After he has gained a customer, the newsboy must deliver the paper in a manner satisfactory to the custom en lie must be sure that he does not miss a reader, that be delivers the paper just where the customer wants it left. Tho newsboy must use tact when a peeved subscriber asks for the impossible or makes an inexcusable objection or criticism. All in all, the newsboy is one of the best friends of the whole city. If all the "newsies' should take sick on one and the same day. there certainly would be thousands of dissatisfied and unhappy persons, complaining that they had not re-. celved their evening's paper. How to Read. Every boy and girl knows that reading Is one of the best ways in which one can improve his mind.

But how many of you read correctly? How many of you, after you hare laid aside a book, stop to recall the story? How many of you could tell your father or mother in a few words what the story contained? If you read merely to pass away the time, without trying to remember the contents of the book, you are wasting your time. You must train your memory while you are reading. Say to yourself that when you have finished reading, the book, you intend to tell the story to some one. In this way, you will be training your memory. Another good thing to remember is to have a dictionary handy. As soon as you come across a word that you do not know, look it up in the dictionary. Then copy the sentence on a piece of paper and try to use the word at the next opportunity. By doing this, you will be adding new words to your vocabulary. You will be surprised at the number of new words you will find in every book you read. If you try to remember what you read, it will not be long until you can recall almost everything you have read.

Be True. Many a boy and girl believe they can tell a lie and not be caught Remember, if you are not caught the first time, you may be caught the next time. If you lie once, you will lie ; twice, and if the habit grows on you, no one will trust or respect you. A truthful boy and girl never need fear the future! But a liar always dreads being found out. So tell the truth and your soul will not worry you. GO OUT. INTO THE OPEN. At no time in the year does nature call so loudly as it does In spring. A walk along the creeks near Richmond will do you good. The trees are covered with green leaves, many of them are in blossom. The birds have mad a their aests and are , singing for joy. A long nine out into the rural districts will repay you. Not the smart aleck, but the boy with brains goes to the front.

INVENTION IMPROVES MOVIES . SO YOU GET CORRECT VIEW

There have all manner of scientific improvements been made upon motion picture processes within the decade, but the actual comfort of the theatre patron has been virtually confined to form-fitting seats floorlights to find his way out, and lantern slides to. bid the lady, in front remove her hat. It has remamed for, the Triangle Film Cor poration to invent a special operaglass for use in watching the motion pictures, designed not to better the pfcture itself, but to correct adverse conditions under which picture are often exhibited.

Newspapers from Distant Lands Oddities of the Foreign Press

The Palladium recently received a large bundle of newspapers from far off places on the globe. Almost all of the papers were from points in India and Africa. Some of them were English, others in Dutch, .others in the native language of India. We were unable to read many of them. The MAT ARAM is printed in the Dutch language, and with the knowledge of German some of us have, we were able to read part of the paper. We believe the paper is printed somewhere in South Africa, but were unable to make out the name of the city. The ;?XDH carrier a line saying it is "ti -5nly Anglo-ernacular (Correct) BI-E WEKLY paper in Upper-Sind," a district in India. The paper had the Bombay" censor's mark on it. It was printed in the vernacular. The illustrations were very quaint and curious, and seemed to have a religious significance which we could not grasp. One or two advertisements were printed in the English language. The "PENAG SIN FOE" is a Chinese paper printed at Penang. A number of American products were advertised. We recognized a number of articles by the pictures, but were unable to read the Chinese description. Lim Paik Keat is the owner of the paper. The illustrations were of typical Chinese scenes drawn along oriental lines. THE MANDALAY TIMES, also printed in the native language, contained some very fine illustrations. Among some of the things advertised in which English words were used were: Kaminia Oil; Badshabi Soap; Karnisk Ague Mixture; Santal Midy; Swadeshi Bharat Stoves; a popular American phonograph; an American baby food, and an announcement that the "Bombay Cir STUDY BIRD LIFE. Are you reading the descriptions of birds in the Junior? The study of 'bird life is fascinating to children and adults. What do you know about the hundreds of birds that come to Wayne county each year? You have a chance in the Junior to learn many things about the birds you know and see. Clip the articles and the pictures of birds and paste them in a book. By next spring you will have a fine collection to which you can refer f any time you want to know more about your feathered friends. Figure 1 shows within the circle H. B. warner, the Triangle star, as he would appear when viewed through the ordinary magnifying opera-glass, and outside the circle, as he would appear to the naked eye. Figure 2 Bhows Wyndhara Standing, who appears in' Warner's support, in another contrast, illustrating how 'the scale of the picture would be reduced by viewing it through the Triangle Binocular. Figure 3 shows the general appearance of the glass itself. . A small vertical wheel between the barrels adjusts the focus in the ordinary manner; but there is another adjustment which is peculiar to this instrument. --That is the black T-shaped piece at the large end. This shifts from left to right. It is for the convenience of those persons who are not only seated far front, but to far to one side. The wide-angle arrangement corrects the viewpoint and gives the user an approximately proper range. In the matter of perspective, there is really but one correct viewpoint for very photograph; that is the point of the camera that took it, and in the theatre, the eye of the projecting machine, as hown in figure 4. But as the spectator cannot sit in front of the projecting machins, he must . compromise somewhat in his notions of perspective, and sit elsewhere. The Triangle ; Binocular automatically gives each spectator very nearly th viewpoint of the camera, although It Is recommended only for those who sit too close.; ' i

cus and Royal Menagerie of Trained Wild Animals" would have a "grand change of programme at its location: Aga Ja wad's compound, 81 st Burne street, Mandator." THE HAWAIIAN GAZETTE of Honolulu, resembled an American newspaper very much, although it had very few advertisements. ELTEMPO gave us the latest news of San Juan, P. R., even if we could not read it because it is printed in Spanish. We surmise from some advertisements that contained the name Bombay, that the JA M-E-JAM SHED is printed in India. It is a big paper, printed in a langua.-e whose letters we could not make out. China was represented by THE CHINA MAIL, printed at Hongkong. Both the BENGALEE and THE STATESMAN came from Calcutta, Other papers were The Maulmain Advertiser, Th Singapore Straits "imes, The Natal Times, The Colombo Morning Leader, The Northern Post of Aliwal North South Africa, The Daily GJeanor of King-, ston, Jamiaca. We could not make out the names of two papers. They probably are printed in India.

Q UERY CORNER Boys and girls often ask their parents questions about things which they do not understand. Sometimes ft is about a strange word, or about a foreign city, or a strange custom. Children and parents are asked to send these questions to the Query Corner. We will try to answer them.Here are a' few that parents told us about: Q. What does Sinn Fien meaan? A. The answer will be found on the first page of Junior Palladium of last week. Q. Will there be band concerts at Glen Miller park this summer? A. That depends on the liberality of the citizens. It will take about $150 to assure band concerts. , Q. What does ' Palladium mean? A. Hundreds of years ago, the Trojans erected a statue in Troy. They believed the city would be safe so long as this statue remained. The city did not fall until the statue was carried off. A palladium IS therefore a guardian of liberty and of rights. The founders of the Palladium gave it that name, because the paper was to fight for the welfare of the city. It always has been true to this motto. Q. Why are boys often called kids? A. A vouiur coat to called a. kid. Boys often are as mischievous as kids, hence, they were given the name or young goats. Q. What's a "Bheebang?" A. Out west, many years ago, the term was Used for a saloon or gambling den. - . Q. Why do some say "up town" and others "down town" when both mean the heart of the city? A.-r-We do not know. What's your explanation? Q. Why do, boys call a fight a "scrap"? A. Probably because' they like to use slang expressions. Q. Is it right to tell a lie to help some one? A. You will find that la the long run it never pays to tell a lie. The truth must always prevaiL.". ' Q. Where do all the dogs come from? A. Dogs originally were . wolves. They were tamed by man thousands of years ago. Does this answer your question? : Q. Why are young Americansenlisting in Canada? A. Presumably because they want the Alliesi. to win. . Few of them realize that they are sacrificing their lives in a struggle that does not concern them. , Q. Why don't prize fighters save their money? A. Some of them do, but the majority learn ex pen- -sive habits and spend their money foolishly. x
