It called “adult education’' and there is a new division in the bu- u ;au of education to encourage and cirect it. One observant writer remarks ✓ that many adults are practically illiterate because > they do not a^ad, although they know how; and that many college graduates cease to be highly educated because th r ir education stops when they leave school. Let any one look nrodnd him and he can observe that this is tnie. A man who ceases to read, to observe and to think soon gets behind the times, becomes ignorant. The best part of education is that which a man gets on his own initiative after he is through with schools. Birds Pay Their Way Encourage birds on the farm, not only for esthetic but for economic xeasons. They destroy many in sect pests. v Protection, water, nest boxes, and food help to attract birds, says the Bureau of Biological purvey. Control of vagrant cats and sometimes of other enemies xnay be advisable; Woodpeckers and 'Other hole-inhabiting birds including crested flycatchers, tree -Tr-«rir<ws. wrens. nnt v '^ + '* v *'' er titmice, chickadees, and bluebirds, 1 are valuable bird friends and need nest boxes. Birds eat many nmall Iruits and berries, such as June berries, raspberries, blackberries, elderberries, and mulberries. Red polls, siskins, and goldfinches in 'winter enjoy the seeds of alders and birches. Pine and evening -grosbeaks eat the seeds of the ashes and boxelders. Larches, pines, and other conifers attract cross bills. Suet and other fat, pork xinds ,and meat bones also are good winter food. Farmers’ Bulle tin 1644-F, just issued, is entitled “Local Bird Refuges.” You can get this from the U. S. Department erf Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Good ventilation and plenty of sunlight are two good preventives of mildew which makes its appear ance simultaneously with hot ^weather. Bad stains are almost bopeless but slight fresh ones us ually answer t to treatment. A slight stain usually washes out in the laundry and if it does not, sev eral bleaching agents are available Tor white clothes. These include lemon juice, Javelle water .potas sium permanganate, oxalic acid, and sour milk. The method of applying these is described in th^ department of Agriculture’s bulle tin on stain removal. IXI Don’t put fresh raw pineapple in a fruit gelatin mixture. It con tains a substance that prevents the gelatin from solidifying. Cook ed or canned pineapple can be used in such mixtures! however, yresh pineapple should never be served with soft custard. It will change the flavor of the custard and make it bitter. 1X1 You can make watertight a crack In a slate, soapstone, or cement laundry tub with a mixture of litharge and glycerin or a special ly prepared commercial cement. Mix * the litharge and glycerin to jnfake a smooth thick paste and v-^k it into the crack with a case lenife. txt-.

For instance, you may congratulate Gerard Swope, head of the General Electric company. He announces *21,523,722.88 profit for the first six months of this year.

We are beginning to learn a great many things about Henry Cabot Lodge that we did :.iot know during his lifetime. The “scholar in politics,” as he loved to be cull ed, became a conspicuous figure when, in 1919, he led the cabal in the United States Senate which prevented cur ratification of the Peace Treaty of Versailles. His oersonal venom against Woodrow Wilson was apparent at the vime. Now it turns out from the disclos ures made by ex-Secretary Fall that Senator Lodge expected that the Republican President elected in 1920 would make him Secretary oi State, and that he was immensely disappointed when Mr. Harding picked Mr. Hughes for that posi tion. “I have known Henry Lodge since boyhood and I do not believe that he ever harbored a single generous impulse, said the late President Eliot of Harvard to a friend not long before* his death. ECONOMICS The man or woman who has a job and whose wages or salary has not been reduced since the depres sion of 1929 is better off today than two years ago. In fact, a dollar will buy more today, in almost all of the necessaries of life and in every one of £he luxuries, chan at any time since before the war. The one exception is rents in the big cities. About four-fifths of the people who work for a living in the Unit ed States are still employed regul arly and at the same pay as be fore. About one-fifth are out of employment or on part time. In Oklahoma a mob of unem ployed raided a grocery store the other day. In one rural county in Massachusetts, where I saw the records, 99 new automobiles and 54 new trucks were bought by farmers and village people during the month of June. ' These economic inequalities offer a problem which it is going to take more than one session of Congress to solve. RAILROADS One of the biggest jobs that con fronts the Capital is the rebuilding and refinancing of the nation’s railroad system. Practically all the railroads today are in bad shape financially. The success^ of the German ex periment in running an air-pro pelled railroad car at the rate of 130 miles an hour means, to en gineers, that all railroad transpor tation methods will have to be enormously speeded up in *he course of the next few years. The whole railroad situation calls for leadership of a kind which is not now in evidence. If Daniel Willard, President of the B. & O., were twenty years younger he coulc' supply it. Somewhere in the rail road field there must be a voun° man who will come to the front in the next year or two and lead ch railroads out of the wilderness. LATIN A magazine in the Latin langu age has just started in New York. The purpose of its publishers is to revive and maintain interest in the study of Latin, which is the root language from which French, Spanish, Italian, Roumanian, and, to a very large extent, English are derived. A hundred years ago Latin was the world’s international language. The educated men of every nation spoke Latin, so that 51 traveler could find someone with whom he could converse. Gradually French began to supplant Latin, and in Europe today French is the tongue spoken by the more cultured people of all nations. In the world of business, however, English 3‘prob ably more widely spoken than any single language, and the study of English is now compulsory in the upper grades of the common schools in probably three-quarters of the natipns of the world. Nevertheless, no person has u right to call himself an educated man unless he has a working knowledge of Latin, which is still the international language of r:ci- ontisjis. s CASE ..

For years Miss Case has given not only lessons in singing at her own expense, but free bo ard and lodging in her ’arge apart ment in the West Fifties to a num ber of young women whose musi cal talents she deemed worth cul tivating. Her marriage to Mr. Mackay is the culmination of a romance of several years standing. As he is one of the wealthiest men in America it is to be expected that she will now be able to do a great deal more for young singers even than she has done before. X Here Are Summer Menus You’ll Like It takes an artist to always serve meals in the summer which are appealing to the appetite. Service adds greatly to the effect of cool ness which is so desirable. Danity colored linen and crystal in cool colors form a back ground for meals in which the dishes served may be as simple as vou wish, but which must be as dainty, and attractive as. they carv be made. Jnez 3. Willson, home economist, gives a few menu .suggestions that are built around neat dishes which are particularly suitable for summer.
