A good attendance turned out to the amrual Father and Son Banquet held in the parlors of the Congrega­tional church last Wednesday even­ing. However, it was not as large as t h a r present at the.--.ouo. tald two. years ago by the Parent-Teachers Assoc The banquet was served about 7:00 to which all did ample justice. Following this a program was put on in th.' church auditorium with Ross Read as mast' r of ceremonies. A se­lection by tiie Iseler orchestra start­ed off the overlings events. Then Rev. E. J.

According to the report filed by I> iv James Vaughn, health officer for the city of Detroit, that tin city at the present time is en­joying the lowest death rate of its existance. Deaths in Detroit last year numbered 13,40:] which gives a ra te of S.s per 1,000. In 1930 it was 9.3 and in 1!)2!» it was 13.4. Of those who died last year heart disease claimed 2,1!'5, cancer 1,113, tuberculosis 1,-

iim-umonia 1,04(1, violence 1,-JJi_l 010, -.poplexy, nephritis, suicide, and appendicitis followed in the order named

Dr. Vaughn lays this decreased death iate to the fact that on account of hu l< of money people a rc living more normal lives, the climate has been good and there have been no epidemic.;. Also people are more care­ful of their diet and preventive mrasLip'.v are successfully combating' contagt-ous diseases.

The discussion started, accord­ing to The Literary Digest, when Ralph Abercromby, author of the book "W reather," stated those in the last stages of freezing generally strip themselves of all clothing.

In this argument there seems to be some heat over cold facts.

He produced the handcuffs, and laid them out for the Inspector to examine. Brooks took them up and turned them over carefully. They were an ordi­nary regulation pair, such as could be found in any police station. But Breoks seemed to find them interest­ing, for he* examined every inch of them with the utmost care. At last he put them down with a puzzled frown. "I t ' s a rum thing, sergeant, but I can't see the- -official ^stamp- OB 4hew,-'J - h e said.

"No, sir ," replied the sergeant. "That 's what seemed queer to me. They're brand new, so it isn't as if it could have been rubbed off. Looks to me as if they'd been issued without being stamped."

"I t looks like it, certainly," replied Brooks. He walked across the room to the window, where he stood staring reflectively into the yard beneath. That a pair of handcuffs could have oome interfuse at-suijLPolice station

without being stamped with the official mark was unthinkable. He was well acquainted with the routine of the Stores Department, and he knew that the absence of the stamp could not have escaped the many eyes which would have inspected them before is­sue.

Brooks turned abruptly from the window. "I'll have a look at your Mr. Tomkins, if you don't mind, sergeant ," he said. "Perhaps I'd better see him alone. I may be able to persuade him to unbosom his aching heart to me."

The Inspector entered the cell, and B smile appeared u p o n lils. "tace as" his eyes beheld its occupant. But it was" not until the sergeant had retired out of earshot that he spoke.

"Well, I never! If it isn't my old friend Pussy Herridge," he exclaimed. "Whft't. hronp'rir. vnn intn rhiq p f l r | nf

The Inspector's face took an ex­pression of respectful admiration. "Gee, I wish I had your imagination, Pussy," he exclaimed. The Chief's al­ways saymg that the first quality in a detective is imagination. I'd be one of the Big Four if I had you to help ma. In fact, I think I'll put you away where I know where to find you for a bit. I can come to you for ad­vice now and then, can't I ? "

Brooks left the cell, and walked "slowly back along the the corridor to the sergeant 's" room. "I haven*t got it yet, sergeant," he said 'cheerfully. "The man is an old friend of mine. He's never done time yet, bu t he's been more qr less under observation for a couple of years. His nam© is Tom Herridge, and he lives in Creek fitifiat,—WAppi»g-,—But how h e eame by those handcuffs I can' t make out. Bring him up and get him remanded for further evidence. I'll have a look round Wapping myself tonight ."

On his way back to Scotland Yard the Inspector devoted his mind to this curious adventure of Pussy Herridge. That there was more in it than met the eye, he was convinced. He was pretty certain that the handcuffs with which he had been manacled did not belong'to the police. In the first place ther© was the difficulty of accounting f o r the ahserx'A nf ifh,

Underfed CkiUtren Increase in Homes

Of Unemployed The jfcesent economic emergency

has meant a qterWng increase in the number of poorly, and even insuf­ficiently nourished children, according t o : the January issue of "Publ ic Health Nursing." Tables giving the normal weights of children of cer ta in heights are no longer regarded as a n infallible means of detecting malnu­trition, continues "Public Heal th Nursing." For stunted growth is a symptom that appears only af ter the harm has been done. In these t imes particularly, the most watchful meth­ods must be employed for discovering the families where the food supply is ill planned or insufficient.

"If malnutrition as a result of the depression is to be combatted," says "Public Health Nursing," we should prevent it ra ther than at tempt to cure it. Prevention for unemployed fami­lies requires finding the underfed c held re n ra ther than the children whose growth has be©n effected.

haustive study of the methods of the rival gangs of criminals which thronged the underworld of London. He knew to a certainty that Mr. Her­ridge was involved with these, and h© had a pretty shrewd suspicion that the machinations of on© of the gangs were responsible for his adventure. It was, f'or ^ instance, quite possible that some­body had found it convenient to keep Herridge out of the way while some coup was in- preparation, in order to prevent him or his friends from antici­pating the attempt, whatever it might be.

"Did he give you his name and ad­dress, sergeant?" asked Brooks.

In a flash Mr. Herridge's mind was *made> up. Brooks did not know that he had taken the Hardway diamonds! Impossible as it seemed, he had not heard of his arrest by the plainclothes men. Perhaps they had not made their report yet, perhaps they were still searching for him! There was, of course, no hope of escape. Ultimately the news must come through. But Mr. Herridge, with the instincts of a rat in a trap, would fight to" the last gasp.

Rather because lying came to him naturally than in any hope of being believed, he Instantly framed a new story. "Well, I don't mind telling you, Mr. Brooks," he replied. "I didn't like to say it to the sergeant he-re. All the police aren' t like you, sir. Once they gets a down on a chap they don't give him a chance. Truth is, Mr. Brooks, I got properly blind last night and I don't rightly know what hap­pened." — " L e t that b-e an awful- warn ing-to-

He was still thinking of what he should say when he next visited the imaginative Pussy when he entered the portals of Scotland Yard.

"The Chief has been looking for you for the last half hour ."

"Right! I'll go and see if I can com­fort him," replied Brooks.

Bidden to enter, he found his Chief in consultation with an exquis­itely dressed man of about thir ty, with a curiously melancholy cast of coun­tenance, belied by a pair of twinkling eyes.

March, while at the same time peo­ple counted December »1 as the last day of the old year. Long before the •time of Pepys, for example, many peo­ple regarded January 1 as New Tear's day, though the old year went on un­til March 24. Thus on December 31, 1660, Pepyi notes in hln diary: "At the end of the last and the beginning of this year. , . . 1 take myself now to be worth fSOO (about $1,500) clear in money."

ASTRONOMY HOLDS INVERSE LIMITED

How large is the universe we live in ; can it be measured or is it infinite in extent? Modern astronomy be­lieves it is finite and can be estimated as to size, in spite of the fact that all the parts of the system are running away from one another and expand­ing the universe at a very rapid rate. Reasoning combining ideal mathemat­ical conclusions with the observed facts of astronomy make logical this belief, Willem De Sitter, world fa­mous astronomer, director of the Na­tional Observatory at Leyden, Hol­land, told a University of Michigan audience.

Abstract mathematical formulas about the extent of the universe, be­cause they are ideal simplifications of reel conditions, can never solve the problem alone, said D. De Sitter. Neither can our astronomical obser­vations alone be depended upon, be­cause they are limited at bast.

By the year 1917, be said, two purely mathematical, calculations of the extent of the universe were in ex­istence, one of which dealt with a universe in which there was matter but no motion, the other with motion and not matter. Observations have shown that, while the matter of the universe is tremendously scattered, being far emptigrthan the best man

vacuum, sSITTL Is by no menus absolutely emptjft like the one ideal mathematical universe. On the other hand motion is known in the real uni­verse, 30 that while the real universe had elements of both ideal systems, it resembles neither exactly.

Taking the stand that our part of the whole universe, which we know by telescopic study, is probably no different than other parts, we can use the data of star and nebular density and^peed of motion known to us in mathematical calculations applying to the whole system, D. De Sitter de­clared. , ~_1 ,-....:1.

On this basis it is estimated that the universe is a huge ball, originally with a radius oT 1,000 billion" light years, and now perhaps twenty times this size. One- light year is the distance light travels in nr\a year, nr apfH'ft** maitely five and two-thirds quadrillion miles. In measuring the bulk of the universe a cube one light year on a side is used, and the number of these units in the system is estimated to be about 10 raised to the seventy-ninth power, of 10 with 79 zeros after it. Most interesting of all is the observa­tion that tho spiral nebulae, of which

Hot Breads for Break* fast8 on Chilly Mornings

By Judith Wilaon Sieamlng cereals and delicious hpt

breads are needed on chilly mornings to start the day properly. Some die* experts object to the use of hot breads but I'm all in favor of them as long as they are not served three times a day for ever and ever. Can you think of anything more inspiring than a heaping plate of smoking hot griddle cakes, plenty of butter and a pitcher of maple syrup—or honey?

Here are some recipes—healthful ones, too, in my opinion.

For the graham griddle cakes, mix one cup graham flour, one-half CUP white flour, one tablespoon sugar and one-half teaspoon salt. Dissolve one teaspoon soda in two cups of sour milk. Mix all together into a thin bat­ter. Fry on a hot griddle and serve with plenty of nutteT and cyrup. It's ft safe guess that your men folks will be delighted.

You may wish to doubts the recipe for brain muffins and serve those that are left over for luncheon or for the children's lunch basket. Mix together one cup bran, one-half cup graham flour, three teaspoons baking powder, one-fourth cup sugar and one-half teaspoon salt. Beat two eggs, add one cup milk and two tablespoons melted shortening. Combine the dry and liquid mixtures and lastly add one-half cup seedless raisins, finely chopped raw prunes_or chopped dates dredged

You and Your Child By JANE HERBERT GO WARD

Quick Temper, a Horn* Product Whenever I see an adult venting

I his anger upon some inanimate object, I cannot help but wonder how he got that way.

'Way back in his childhood, no doubt, a well meaning mother ap­pealed to his ego and sense of power by way of diverting his attention from a physical pain. Perhaps he fell down, and mother promptly picked him up,

(stooped over and struck the spot j^where he had fallen, as though the

floor, and not he, had been to blame for the mishap.

Then there must have been other times when a knife.was hurled across the floor by mother to make up for the hurt which it had inflicted. That this was due to the lad^own carelessness, did not matter.

Now when the refrigerator ceases to function and friend wife asks him to look it over, he, most likely, vents his anger on the machine. He has no patience with mechanical contrivances that do not function, or any "thing" whatever which may be in his way at the moment. The wonder of it is, that he does not throw dishes about or kick the mahogany. And all this he owes to his fond mother, who, to save him pain, used the wrong tactics.

Bake in greased muffin tins in a hot oven for about twenty minutes. Let me remind you that the muffins are delicious" hot or cold.

Corn meal muffins are a favorite breakfast bread in my family. Mix together two cups whole grain corn meal, four teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt and one table­spoon sugar. Mix with one cup milk, two lightly beaten eggs and four tablespoons melted butter. Southern cooks usually use sour milk and soda instead of sweet milk and baking pow­der. If you wish to do so the correct proportion would be one-half teaspoon soda to one cup sour milk.

Bake in small well-greased muffin pans in a hot oven for about twenty minutes. We like these muffins split and filled with butter, then eaten with a hpiiy plum Jain or apple butler.

Boston brown bread with honey is another breakfast suggestion. To make the bread, mix one cup corn meal, one cup rye flour, one cup gra­ham flour, one teaspoon salt and one and one-half teaspoons soda. Mix three-fourths cup black molasses and two cups very sour milk and add to dry ingredients. - Lagtly add one cup

Patience is a home taught virtue. The child who stumbles, must be taught to look where, he is going, or else the consequences. If he is led to believe that it is not his fault but the stairs' or the- carpet's, instead of being inspired to correct his ways, he right­fully shows his displeasure when he gives either step or carpet a good sound kick. "Rightfully" because ac­cording to his own impression and mother's promptings, he has a just

may laugh at his reaction five minutes later does not matter. The habit is there and he is slave to it.

Parents often deplore the fact that young children cannot differentiate between make believe and untruth. They hope their children won't develop the habit of lying. No child deliber­ately tells a lie, unless his environ­ment makes it necessary for him to deceive. Spanking does not prevent its recurrence. The cause—that which elicits such a response must be re­moved. Often the parents do not have to ge far to find it, as it is with-

Mn himself- -and—a-- certain attitude of mind toward spending money, playing with a particular boy, or how long he can stay out after dark.

If we were only as critical of our­selves as we are wont to be at times of our children, they doubtless would be perfect examples of good behavior, as we would have been supplying them with good examples to follow out in their own behavior.

How true it is, only an honest par­ent knows—that we practice any man­ner of questionable means to bring

ing child is nerve racking. We lose sight of our goal, which, is to train him to be .independent and truthful, as we proceed to quiet him by means of ruse.

It is an untruth and as great a fal­lacy from a standpoint of child train­ing to tell a youngster that inanimate objects have power to hurt one, as to tell him that danger lurks in the dark. In either case an attitude is being built built-in toward an element which will repeat itself throughout his life. Repetition is what makes a habit firm. Constant repetition likewise causes a given response to became automatic— second nature to the person practicing it and a definite characteristic of his make-up.

An Ode to a Bee! By Frank K. Glew

I was sitting in the^clover _ When a spritely, buzzing bee, /

Nonchalantly did meander To my, haunt beneath a tree.

What a buzy little fellow He had been among the flowers;

What a thirst for pollen sweetness, As he scouted through the hours.

Buzz . . . buzz . . . his ceaseless humming Played a tune upon my nerves,

And I soon began aswatting As he flitted 'round in curves;

I mistook his friendly motives J As I leapt upon my feet, FEAR was clutching at my heartstrings;

NO . . . that humming was not SWEET! Alas, my futile swinging

Missed this bee by quite a mile, And I failed in frenzied anguish

To perceive that bee's grim smile. Then the buzzing grew more violent,

To this day I hear its ring! Bees are "sweet" \t making honey

But. they're "devils"- with their sting!

. Answer—A silver "knife generally accompanies a fish course. It is not intended for general use as fish is usually flaky, and when it isn't it is easy to cut with the fork. The knils may be used to divide a too large por­tion, however.

In eating fish, if there are any bottQg they should be removed before the fork is-carried to the mouth.

Your handwriting shows cultural aspirations. You are deliberate, persis­tent and self educated. A natural fac­ulty for versatility is highly developed in your handwriting. Rounded writing shows this and full loops. There is imagination, as high " i " markings show, but this has been subordinated to reason.

The outstanding characteristic in your hand is a talent for dealing with people. The leisurely tempo of your hand and the easy flow express tact. Pronoun " I " reveals you to be mod­est, which in turn enables you to be t fi lpTfiwf. r> f <*>tllAt*fi_

-FOR THOSE WHO REMAIN

When death visit a homo, the first concern it to perform the last service to the loved one in a becoming manner. Whatever is done must express all the reverance and affection that i s felt at snch srtime.

But in addition to this, a farther responsibility rests upon the funeral director. It is his privilege and duty to les-

t sen, as far as lies within his power, the burdens laid upon those who remain behind. By countless little acts of thoughfulness he can make the way easier for them,

We consider this part of our work as import­ant as any other. Our highest aim is to have our patrons look upon us as trusted friends, ready and anxious to serve in any possible way.
