ADULT EDUCATION
Thet stress is being put on con
tinuing education has been called
r rf '.he n^st promisint signs in
*rar .educational development. 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.

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.

LODGE
Time always brings out the
truth. 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

head of the Postal Telegraph and
Commercial Cable System, has long
been known in musical circles as
perhaps the most generous of sin
gers of the first rank in her atti
tude toward ambitious young musi
cians. 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.

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,

are built around neat dishes
which are particularly suitable for
summer.
