Nile to Be Deflected From the Pyramids
AS THIS aerial photograph shows, the Pyramids look down on the Nile, ns they have been doing for many cen
turies. But that is going to be changed, for after the present annual Inundation the river Is to be de
flected Into a system of flood control canals away from the old channel.

THE MERRY'LITTLE BREEZES
HELP LIGHTFOOT
COULD you have seen the hunter
with the terrible gun and
LIghtfoot the Deer that morning on
which the hunting season opened
you might hare thought that LIght
foot was hunting the hunter Instead
of the hunter hunting LIghtfoot.
You see. LIghtfoot was behind the
hunter so ns to keep track of him.
As long as he knew Just where
the hunter was he felt reasonably
safe.
tThe Merry Little Breeses are the
best friends that LIghtfoot has.
“It Was That Confounded Jay,"
Muttered the Hunter.
They always bring to him all the
different scents they find as they
wander through the Green Forest.
And Llghtfoot's delicate nose Is so
wonderful that he can take these
scents, even though they be very
faint, and tell Just who or what
has made them. So, though he
makes the best possible use of his
big ears and his beautiful eyes, he
trusts more to his nose to warn him
of danger. For this reason during
the hunting season when be moves
about he moves In the direction
from which the Merry Little
Breezes may be blowing. Lie knows
that will warn him.
Now the hunter with the terrible
gun who was looking for Llghtfoot
knew all this, for he was wise In
the ways of Llghtfoot and of the
other little people of the Green For
est. When he hnd entered the
Green Forest that morning he hnd
first of all made sure of the direc
tion from which the Merry Little
Breezes were coming. Then he hnd
begun to hunt In that direction,
knowing that his scent would be
carried behind him. It Is more than
likely that he would have reached
the hiding place of Llghtfoot the
Deer before the lntter would have
known that he was In the Greep
Forest hnd It not been for Sammy
Jay's warning.
When he reached the tangle of
fallen trees behind which Llghtfoot
had been hiding he worked around
It slowly nnd with the greatest care,
holding Ids terrible gun ready for
use Instantly should Llghtfoot leap
out. Presently he found Llghtfoot’s
footprints In the softground nnd
studying them he knew that Llght
foot hnd known of his coming.
“It was that confounded Jay,"
muttered the hunter. “Llghtfoot
heard him and knew what It meant.
I know what he has done, lie has
circled round so ns to get behind
me and get my scent. It Is a clever
trick, a very clever trick, but two
can play nt that game. I’ll Just try
that little trick myself.”
So the hunter In his turn made
n wide circle back and presently
there was none of the dreaded man
smell among the scents which the
Merry Little Breezes brought to
Llghtfoot. Llghtfoot had lost track
of the hunter.

Minute make-ups

If you have a short neck, pay at
tention to the arrangement of hair
at the napeline. Make the curls go
upward off the neck so that there
will be a clear sweep from the base
of the neck to the hairline. Hair
curled high will give the appear
ance of a longer neck well poised
on the shoulders.

What Next?
ON LABOR DAY
—
By ANNE CAMPBELL
/~V\E never knows the satisfying
taste
Of bread until he earns It . . .
Better still
To plow the stubborn earth, to
plant the waste
And cnrry the threshed wheat
down to the mill.
Bread that one gains by sweat Is
better than
The proffered loaf . . . The gift
of luxury
Will never sing Into the heart of
man
As will his triumph over poverty.
Once the soiled hands of Labor
were not held
In high repute, but now our dally
prayer
Is not for gifts of bread . . . Our
pleas have welled
From weary hearts that have too
much to bear.
But with new eournge for the bitter
moll,
We pray to earn our bread by
honest toll.

COOK BOOK
SECRET OF CUSTARDS
CUSTARDS are such good des
sorts for children and aged as
well as for those who have weak
ened digestion. The secret of a
good custard Is in the cooking.
Steamed Cup Custard.
Beat two eggs lightly until the
whites and yolks are well mixed,
add three tablespoons of sugar,
a bit of salt and a generous graf
lug of nutmeg. When the sugar
Is well dissolved add a pint of good
milk, stir and mix well and pour
Into three custard cups If large—
four If small. Set in a pan of
hot water and put on to steam. Do
not let the water stand too deep
In the pan so that In boiling It will
roll Into the cups. Watch carefully
after the boiling begins; test with
a clean knife thrust down the cen
ter of the custard. When the knife
comes out clean remove the cups
at once from the hot water and
chill before serving. For variety
In flavor—melt a few tablespoons
of sugar In a smooth frying pan and
pour this caramel Into the bottom
of the cups before adding the cus
tard. When cooked they may be
turned out and the caramel will
form a brown sauce over the cus
tard.

"Badger State" Nickname
The term "Badger State” was
applied to the early lead miners
who on first coming to a new lo
cation dug In the side of a hill
and lived underground much as the
badger digs In his burrow. The
lead mines were located near the
corner of the state where Wiscon
sin, Illinois and Iowa meet. At
first the term was applied in de
rision to the occupants of these
temporary subterranean residences,
then to all the Inhabitants of the
mining region, then to all the peo
ple of the state.
Effect* of New Idea*
New conditions are ever calling
forth new Ideas, and truths may be
come untrue.
Dp-X°n Know—
That more than 3,500 tons
of hair has been cut from the
heads of American women
during the bob era, it is esti
mated? There are 14,000,000
bobbed heads in the United
States and about half this
number spend $15,000,000 a
year for waves.

THROUGH A
'OCfemans Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
OF COURSE LOVE WOULD END
ALL EVIL
“ OVE will end all evil.”
Doctor Fry, the secretary
of the Lutheran Board of American
Missions, said that In summing up
his claim that all we need to solve
the problems of unrest and misun
derstanding that confront the world
today Is the right relationship be
tween people.
We have heard similar sounding
thoughts enveloped In so many plat
itudes that we have come to sort
of hearing them without listening,
to pass them up without looking
Into them very deeply. The fact
Is, however, that the minister’s pro
posal to end all the world's trouble
by love Is a very spectacular one.
It Is quite true that love would
solve all the troubles In the world.
But It Is not love of ourselves, of
our own way, our own Interests,
love of gain or of things or of get
ting ourselves somewhere.
It Is love of people—love of its
own sake that could end all our
troubles, all the world’s troubles.
For love Is Just naturally under
standing, and where there Is un
derstanding, what more do we
need? But the Idea of twisting the
course of human alms and desires
and Impulses into such a mold Is
more spectacular from the view
point of the obstacles to be over
come than the most advanced pro
posals or dreams of the most radi
cal moderns In any field of human
endeavor. It Is probably the least
possible of any Idealist’s hopes or
dreams. And yet It is not impos
sible. Some human beings have
risen to those heights, and If some,
why not all? And the rewards It
promises are so tremendous It
would seem to be worth a try.

THIS WEEK
Huey Long Is Dead
Power in Personality
A Ship of Horror
Bathtub Danger
Huey Long is dead at forty-two
years of age.
The world
says: “How
Arthur Brisbane
young, how piti
ful, to die with
out full oppor
tunity !”
Everything Is
comp a ra t i v e,
Alexander the
Great, who died
at thirty-two,
was ruler of half
the world at
twenty-five;
Keats died at
twenty-six; Shel
ley at thirty.
Today, men do
nor develop as rapidly as in old
days, when Napoleon thought of
suicide because he had done noth
ing at an age that found Alexander
ruler of the world.
The death of Huey Long, regret
ted throughout a nation that
loathes cowardly assassination. Is
Important not alone because of Sen
ator Long’s powerful personality,
but also because of Its possible ef
fect on the national election of 1936.
v
Senator Long is gone; his power
ceases, as though he had never
lived. Others will pick up the reins
of power, in New Orleans and Loui
siana; another will take his place
in the senate. Efforts, futile, will
be made to find “another Huey
Long.”
There is nothing left but the
memory of a powerful man, again
emphasizing Goethe’s definition of
“personality," “as the highest good
fortune of earth’s children.”
France discourages crime, and
really discourages it. The dreaded
prison ship, La Martiniere, is on
her way to the criminal colony in
French Guiana with 773 convicts
locked in eight strong iron cages in
the hold, with iron bars, cement
floors, wooden benches, hammocks,
and overhead a criss-cross of pipes
that would fill the cages with dead
ly live steam if mutiny broke out.
No parole board sits in French
Guiana. Each man ordered to the
ship receives a new suit of clothes,
a blanket, an extra pair of wooden
shoes. That, with perhaps a few
books and packages of chocolate
from relatives, constitutes his
wealth as, wrists chained, the con
victs march, single file, up the
gangplank, between rows of bay
onets.
They go to prison, to stay In
prison.
It is a hard system, but being
murdered on the American plan Is
also a hard system.
Within a few days two women,
one past sixty, the other seventy
years old, have been found dead in
their bathtubs,, apparently drowned.
The slippery surface of a porcelain
tub Is dangerous for older persons.
They should observe the greatest
care; a slip, the head striking the
edge of the tub, can easily cause
unconsciousness, followed by drown
ing.
Rubber factories should make
and extensively advertise rubber
mats for the bottom of bathtubs,
with a suction arrangement to pre
vent slipping.
While the League of Nations talks
peace and arbitration Mussolini re
calls his consuls from various places
in Ethiopia, reminding you of the
clergyman who had a call to a large
city. His little daughter said,
“Papa Is In his library, praying for
light, and mamma Is upstairs pack
ing.”
Mr. Max Baer, of the Jewish race,
will light on September 24 Mr. Joe
Louis, of the African negro race,
and already $300,000 worth of tick
ets have been sold. The price for
a good seat Is $25.
Mr. Baer, who gave a pitiful
exhibition, not long ago, when he
permitted his “heavyweight cham
pionship of the world” to wriggle
off of the hook, now promises to
“chase that boy (Joe Louis) out of
the ring In two rounds.”
Publicly Mr. Joe Louis gives an
imitation of “Br'er Itabblt,” and
says little.
Maneuvers demonstrating French
war power, as It stands today, con
vince European experts that France
possesses “the strongest military
machine In the world.” She pos
sesses, also, men willing to fight,
as shown at Verdun and elsewhere.
The government, floating five hun
dred million dollars more of Inter
est-bearing notes, rejoices because
they are snapped up “in a day." Of
course they are "snapped up” un
der prevailing conditions. Men witn
money are as glad to hide It away
in government notes and bonds as
men In a cyclone country are glad,
temporarily, to hide away In cyclone
cellars.
