WHAT PLAY CAN DO
PLAY Is one of the four builders
of life. The other three are
work,, love and religion. Nations
have risen like the Greeks and
fallen like the Homans through
their play. Play has not been given
serious enough attention by mod
ern parents, as a factor In their
children’s physical. Intellectual and
moral development Play time has
been considered a tag end usually
—“run away and play" when there
Is nothing else to do.
Everything that functions has
equal capacities for both good and
evil. Food, medicine, exercise
and even religion, with the fanatic
can change virtue to vice. Progress
of the race comes from directing all
these functions properly Into posi
tive channels. When this does not
occur the Individual and nation
alike may be regarded In Its growth
for betterment, or still worse may
be actually Irrevocably harmed.
Parents probably seldom think of
play and Its effects on their chil
dren In such serious philosophical
terms, and yet play and recreation
al hours have the power to make
or mar young life.
Play should be part of an edu
cationally planned program for chil
dren. Each child should be stud
ied by the parents and helped to
succeed In at least one kind of
sport, or should be furthered In one
hobby, whether It be making some
kind of toy or collecting Insects
or stones.
Planned play as an educational
program will take time, effort and
sacrifice on the parents’ part, but
In the end It brings the largest
dividend of character. Parents are
sometimes unwilling to give as
much of their own pleasure time
to play with their children, as such
a play program demands. As for In
stance, a movie manager of one of
the large theaters In Chicago told
me recently, that In his opinion,
the movies have become the mod
ern nursemaids for the children of
the rich and poor alike. Cars from
Cadillacs to “Tin Lizzies" drive np
and disgorge their small occupants
each night regardless of the sex
pictures shown, and the parents
drive mechanically away. In two
or three hours these carefree par
ents return to take their children
home. Some parents a few years
hence will wonder why their chil
dren are different from their neigh
bors’ children.

GOLD FOR GOD
THERE lived one time a very
rich king; his wealth Increased
so rapidly that he begaD to think
In terms of gold. One evening as
he sat alone, long after his lit
tle daughter’s good-night kiss, he
felt a rlny tap on his foot. Rub
bing his eyes In the subdued light
to be convinced he was not dream
ing, he heard a tiny voice which
said, “Thou are great, 0 King, and
rich; my wand and 1 can give thee
thy one heart’s desire. Speak now,
ere I go,” the fairy said.
“Give me gold,” excitedly spoke
the king. “Give me the golden
touch.” “This will be done. At
dawn tomorrow thy touch will turn
each thing to gold and thou, oh,
Midas, will become earth’s richest
king." The fairy circled her tiny
wand three times above her head
and disappeared. “Can this be
true?” thought the king.
The sun was high when the king
awoke "It Is true. It Is true!" he
cried Joyfully as he touched his
kingly robes Into beautiful golden
fabrics. As he sat before his morn
ing meai, his heart grew proud and
haughty. But, alas, his food, too,
turned to gold. “What matters
that,” he said—"1 am the richest
king on earth today!’’ Just then
his little daughter laughing and
singing, sprang Into his arms for
her accustomed morning kiss. He
held her happy little form close
to his heart. But Just one moment
and there lay In his strong arms,
his daughter lifeless, body turned
to gold! "Oh, God," he cried In
anguish, "what have 1 done, what
have 1 done! It is not gold I need,
but God," he sobbed, falling to his
knees. “Help thou me this day,
the most wretched man In all my
kingdom wide." Another gentle tap
ping on the sandal brought again
the fairy to his side. "Take my
gold away and give me God,” he
cried.
“It shall be done," the fairy said.
"But tell me first, 0 King, where
in real riches lie.” From out the
depths of his agonized heart the
king replied, “In the heart of man,
in my fatherhood. In my people.
In my honor and service to God
and man. My goal has been gold,
henceforth It shall be God."
Has America like King Midas
been seeking gold Instead of God?
One statesman said of her, she Is
In “the Twentieth century scien
tifically, but In the Sixteenth spirit
ually.” America need seek the
abundant life through no other
path, for His Is "the Way, the
Truth, and the Light."
HITCH-HIKING FLY
SPREADS DISEASE
The common house fly Is a hitch
hiker. However, the fly doesn’t both
er to Jerk a thumb and ask a ride;
It flies Into moving autos or even
trains or airplanes without permis
sion and often travels hundreds of
miles before leaving Its chosen ve
hicle.
This habit of flies traveling grent
distances on other power than their
own has made local fly eradication
campaigns less effective than the
i.mpnlgners hoped. Cases iave been
found \\here a fly carried disease
germs on Its legs tnd body for miles
and Infected people In the community
where It settled. No previous cases
of the disease were In existence In
the new community and henlth au
thorities could find no other source
of Infection than flies.
Repeated warnings of physicians
and health officials have apparently
failed to Instill a proper fear of the
house fly In the average mind. How
pver, a more thorough knowledge of
the habits of a fly would Increase
the respect for this tiny Insect, ac
cording to authorities on the subject.
Decent cleanliness In any home
requires protection ngnlnst the men
ace of flies. Whether a fly Is home
born or a hitch-hiking visitor, he Is
a danger. Fortunately, an effective
fly-kllllng program can be conducted
In any home by the use of a rellatde
fly spray containing an ample quan
tity of Pyrethrlns, a product derived
from Pyrethrum flowers, which Is
death to flies, when sprayed In a fine
mist.
Haste at the Wrong Time
Often Fatal to Motorists
A motor accident never occurs If
It can be avoided. Drivers do not
deliberately crash Into each other,
skid off the road, run into trains at
grade crossings or swerve into trees.
Traffic mishaps occur only after It
Is too late to prevent them. Re
duced to a fundamental, they are
almost always the result of too
much speed In the wrong place.
Speed In Itself Is relative. A speed
of three miles an hour Is too much
If It carries a load of people onto a
grade crossing In front of an on
coming locomotive. A speed of 70
miles an hour, or even 80, under the
proper conditions, with car mechani
cally perfect, brakes In good work
ing order, driver alert, road wide
and smooth and the way ahead
clear of traffic for half a mile, Is
safe enough.
Rather than put all the blame on
speed, perhaps It should be placed
on haste, which is speed at the
wrong time. The proper conditions
for speed, of course, vary. Some
times the conditions demand un
usually slow driving. Sometimes
they permit of unusually fast driv
ing. But drivers, If they will re
member that any speed which places
them In danger or causes them to he
dangerous to others is too much, can
often avoid accidents before they
are In the midst of them.
Rats Kill Ferrets and Cats
TIstan dn Cunhn. the world’s
loneliest Islnnd, Is trying to find a
way to rid Itself of he-man rats
which swam ashore from a wreck.
The Invaders have multiplied, and
both cats and ferrets have been sent
at various times to exterminate
them. But there are no cats, and
no ferrets on TIstan da Cunha to
lay. The rats have eaten them all.

“No need for any woman to take

WHY DOES CALUMET give such astonishing
"baking luck?” Why is Calumet different from other
baking powders? Because Calumet combines two dis
tinct leavening actions. A quick one for the mixing bowl.
A slower one for the oven ... And Calumet's famous
double-action is so perfectly balanced and controlled
that it produces perfect leavening—every time.
All Calumet prices are
lower! Calumet is now selling at the
lowest prices in its history. The Full-Pound
Can now sells regularly for only 25*. And if
you want a smaller size—get the new, big 10*
can—a lot of good baking for a dime—with
Calumet, the Double-Acting Baking Powder.
