BARRETT ' In a recent editorial appeared the statement that the radjo was seriously . retarding recovery. ;The argument ad vanced In support , of this opinion was that the time, one hundred million , hours per year, spent in listening lu, could bo more profitably used in auto riding, paying | the price of ad mittance to movies or other entertain i'ment, or |n seek . Ihg a Job. All very good, doubtless mucn time: Is lasted on listening In to messages from the" air which have neither n n eiiTinit lonal nor socl&lvalue. On the other hand, Is It not fair to *' that an eqOal amount of time Is spent In hearing addresses, music, etc., which are very much worth while? One of the most valuable contributions which the radio has . m%de toward unifying our national life has heetj the privilege Of hearing from Coast to const the voice of the President of our country ? whether we agree with all he soya or not. When we hear the chimes of Big Ben in London or the voice of Antarctic explorer, Byrd, somehow we realize something of the solidarity of the human race and that this Is not such a large world after all. That the privileges of the radio are abused, we agree. Many persons listen In to what is really not worth hearing, but no one can discount the value of the radio as a distinct and important contribution to our modern life. " The critic above mentioned forgets another , fact ? we are of the opinion that the amount of money spent for movies and other entertainments, when totaled, would approximate the total spent In the purchase and maintenance of radios, so from a monetary point of view the accotint bnlances. We are of the opinion that we have only start ed the development of the wireless transmission of sound. Light will* come next. Refore long we shall be able not only to hear grand opera but to see It enacted on a silver screen, transmitted by radio. ?.

After an absence of some 140,000,000 years the tnfttopo saurus has returned ? but he Isn't his old self. 1 ; ? 'r In fact, the miniature amphibian in the University of California Museum of Paleontology is only a clay model of the extinct creature, which, scien tists say, was a distant relative of the present-day salamander. The model waa constructed by sculp tors, Artele Stackpole and Audrey Horn. It was modeled from a skull and other skeleton remains dug up in the fainted Desert of Arleona recently. Paleontol ogists estimated from the fossil re mains that the ftetoposaurus was about eight to ten feet long.* Turtle Sets Up Now Swimming Record Capetown, S. A.?

MANAGING without servant* has ! become a recognized feature of modern housekeeping. The innumer able devices and Inventions which have been perfected for simplifying the work have made It possible for women to ac complish, without undue fatigue, what formerly would have beeii very weari some. They can have leisure In the place of labor If they wish. Or they can be Just exactly as busy as the wom en of a generation ago. The entrance of women Into ac tivities outside the home has brought them uew opportu nities for occupa tion. The number of clubs has In creased enormous ly, some of them for advancement of projects, for educa tional purposes, for church work, for social reforms and. In large measure for entertainment as the multiplicity of bridge clubs evidences. Today there Is actually no more leisure for women than formerly. Change of occupa tion, not cessntlon of It, Is the result. It was suld when the sewing machine came in that there was rejoicing because It would dimin ish the work of making garments. But It proved no help In this. Women com menced to make more elaborate cos tumes. Tucking and pleating, brald ; Ing and stitching In variety, were done, and the time went In the extra orna ^qaentaUpru Today the crying need of "more time" should give paude for thotight. Homemakers, and women not out In the business world, have a1 chance to decide for themselves wheth er a round of activities, with no leis ure time Is what they want most Or whether they wish to be eased from the rush and whirl, from the pressure of the prod of tltne. ? Using Saved Time Since there are time and labor-sav I Ing devices which permit work to be accomplished rapidly and' with llttlo fatigue, how will the saved time he used? To help women to be In the leisure class, that group of persons who have time to develop- talents, and to do Some of the things they have longed to do, and this without en croaching too much on spare moments? Or will thpy mean the adding of so many other dutleH that there still con tinues the cry of "no time." Or will the beauty and comfort of home life be Increased by homemakers, who, with the opportunity for some leisure, make the home a pleasanter place to be In, snnctuary for themselves and\ their families, where the work is well t done, and there is at least a modicum of time remaining? Important to Aim High It Is a good thing for persons to aim | high. This does not Imply that he or she Is over ambitious or pushing. "He Is a person of high nlms," Is said of one who has fine Ideals and has striv en to live up to them to the utmost of his ability. This means that he has been actively working toward a definite goal* He has not wavered but pur sued steadfastly the road toward the apex of his lofty aspiration. It Is the same steadfast effort that Is shown in business by those who aim high. Theirs is a material goal. Many a young man or woman has determined to make money. To succeed In this, he must be unfaltering in his step to ward the apex of his desires. He can not change from one objective to an other without loss of progress. Such side-stepping may be disrupting to his entire career. But when one's alms are high there is an underlying strata of ambition to reach the zenith of accu mulated money, of unsurpased excel lence In music, art, medicine, the law, etc. On this he must build securely and continually, and with fortitude. ?.

Glaze, Latest Finish Glazing Is now much In voruo on woodwork where the color needs to be dulled a little or an old-fashioned effect Is desired. It Is especially appropriate with antique furniture. Glaze is n yellowish liquid resembling varnish Xhlch can be purchased at any paint ore. Apply it over the Inst coat of paint, and while Rtlll wot, wipe off IJghtly with a bit of cheesecloth. This leaves some in the crevices of the mouldings nnd along the edges of sur faces, where It should merge into the unde^- color.

Parrot Altogether Too Strenuous in Action Probably the most unlikely story told about parrots concerned one which was purchased from a sailor ; by a clergyman. The great delight of the latter gentleman was for th# ! children In his parish to call hlra uncle. Soon after he became thi . proud possessor of this large bird h? spent several hours in trying to teacH It to say "uncle." But the parrot ro malned dumb. As evening ajv proached he realized that he had no cage for It, so he placed it at the end of a long perch In the poultry houso on which a dozen hens were roost ing. Next morning lie heard a dis turbance In the poultry yard and found eleven dead hens, while the parrot had hold of the other by Its neck, and, shaking It from side to ! aide, was shouting, "Say 'Uncle,' you Billy fool, say 'Uncle' '." There have been hented debate* between owners of parrots and sci entists. The former state emphati cally that their birds talk Intelligent ly, while naturalists Insist that the birds are simply repeating phrase* which they have heard. The parrot has a wonderful memory, and can store up long sentences In Its little brain. Perhaps some Incident tha bird sees calls one of these to mind, and at an appropriate moment It Hashes out, to the amnzevnent of lis teners. ? London Answers.
