It got a little dusty down there so it was made all clean, inside and out, Billy was having lots of fun for he wondered What his mother was going to do next to make the little .chicks, comfortable. After it was all clean she told him to go out to the barn' and get a whole lot Of real fine straw and chaff that sifted down through the big pile of straw in the mow. When she had put a thick layer of it in the bottom it was as soft as soft could be. Then Mama Lady remembered she had •au old warm black shawl up in the attic, so • BIUY brought it down, wondering what she wanted it for. But she just laughed when he asked her and said, "Wait, oftener than It mirrored in the face son, and you'll see very soon:" And of the man or woman who is without this is what she did: worldly goods.

The matter is perplexing, but not of any great importance. Jesus clearly indicates, in the parable of the debtor, that those who have been for- given muds will 'love much, but he may well have taught, on some other occa- sion, that love covers a multitude of sins. Christiana tend to be fierce in. their condemnation of what are called "sins of passion," and to be lenient towards lack of :parity and human sympathy, and towards sins of cold selfishness.

Oalcley in the Fortnightly Review (Loudon): For the first twenty years of Its brief life, this in- dustry ndustry has been controlled from the United States.. . Today all this is in process of change. The Legisla- ture took the first step when it pass- ed the Films Act (1927). Science completed the process when it in- vented the "talkie". The British audience stood the American picture, much as it laughed at times over the grotesque mistakes that were made, but it cannot stand the Am- erican voice. It wants English as it is spoken in England, and slowly but surely it is getting it, A great industry is in process of being ,born. British -made films are already finding their way into every corner of the English spoken world, and they are being welcomed, Women pause to reflect—when they see a mirror, "Well, old man, what are you doing these days?" "I'm selling furniture." "Are you selling much?" "Only my own, so far." "Clothes give a man a lot of con- iideuce," "I should think they do. I go to heaps of places with them that admittance we do not know. We can I wouldn't dream of going to without." Doctor Says Movies Da Not Inure Eyes New York.—It is not the . fault of, the stars or Of the projection' ma- chines if motion pictures hurt the patrons''eyes. The blame falls square- ly on the eyes of the patrons in the opinion of Dr. William M. Richards, of the Better Vision Institute, who in his recent address before the National Board of Review Pictures here assert- ed that an insidious rumor that the films were bad for the eyes was keep- ing thousands daily from the motion: picture box office. 'If motion pictures hurt your eyes don't blame the picture but blame your eyes and have them examined;' he declared. "For if your eyes are normal, either with or without glasses, you can look at filets without any dis- comfort whatever. It is a common complaint among persons generally, to say that their eyes have been rained by motion pictures. Normal eyes never give symptoms when looking at the pictures and are neverin any way harmed by them." - Mr. Richards suggested that patrons should equip themselves with a special type of eyeglass in their pilgrimages to the theatre. There are many things.that can be done to bring this important subject to the attention of motion picture audiences," he pointed out. "I sug- gest that there be incorporated, for the time, at Ieast, in all picture re- leases the suggestion that it the films faconvenience the eyes one must not Mame them, but Lather the eyes."

Fashion Gleanings As a trimming or accessory for pas- tel and white costumes, brown is most important. Brown fur trims the short sleeve in many of the suits and en- sembles for dressy afternoon and spec- tatular sports. livening gowns with removable jackets have also adopted' thefur idea. Crepe-shangtuug - a soft pure -dye sills with a dull finish—is styled in sports and spectator sports frocks. Its popularity isassuredon account. of Its tubbing qualities. Pajamas are considered a definite part of the wardrobe, not only for. sleeping, lounging and beach wear, but for dinner and evening as well.

The Call of the Bush Day is smiling approval at earth's new spring apparel, It is good to be out of doors, free and away. Already in the moonlight dawn the warbling magpies had heralded such an awak- ening, and the call of the bush is loud and insistent. So off to the hills for young hearts eager to revel in nature's glory. Up hill and down dale, through wooded vales blue -vaulted by the floor of heaven; by the crystal lake shaded on every side by thickets green; to the distant purple hills where grows the bracken fern or hoots the owl; where music in the waterfall makes harmony with singing birds; where cries the curlew plaintively; or where bile kookaburra lifts his laughter on the air; sots places lend themselves where thought may dwell in simplest luxury. Leschanaultia, blue, yellow, white and red, splashes the landscape like a painter's palette. Buttercups fringe the roadside's odge. Sarsaparilla bangs her purple tresses from ,tree to tree. The tall gums stand majestic; low blackboy clumps seed up new, soft, green spears. At last a wattle grove is reached. The silence in the woods is very sound, the sound that breathes iu still- nees thanks to Clod for such a para- dise. In the trees' cool shade tunch- eon is spread.

Shows Girls To Be at Greatest Valine Taking into account the average wage earning capacity of women, the value of their work in the home, the value at the birth of children, what it costs to feed and clothe them and all other economic, factors that could be collected, a group of German statistic- ians estimate that the girls of that country are worth more at the ageof fifteen years than at any time before • or after that age. They place her worth to the state at fifteen years as approximately $10,000. When she has reached the age .of thirty, the report states, her value de- creases to 90,200. At fifty the value is set at $7,000 and at sixty it is caicu- lated as only $5,000. After seventy Years of age the economic value sinks to almost nothing. German males at thirty are esti- mated to be worth $11,000, es com- pared ompared to the $10,000 for the average woman. It is equally interesting and important that the estimated economic values for women have risen muck. higher for women during the last twenty years. The reason for Mils is ascribed' to the increasing application of women to industrial work, so that they can be directly credited with pro- duction and earnings as well as for their worth as home builders and family makers. Jamboree in the Jam Two little boys were talking. One said to the other: "Aren't ants funny little things? They work and work, and never play." "00, I don't know about that," re- plied the other, -"Every time I go on a picnic they are there." At a matinee a little man called at the theatre, bought two tickets, and - proceeded to enter, followed by this wile and eleven children. "More!" Shouted the doorkeeper, "where's the other tickets?"
