a stupid lot Saturday furnished the
needed diversion, with such interest
ing events as Mrs. Myron Learned's
bird masque, the Thimble club pic
nic, the bi' dinner for the Pasadena
hospital r it and at night a big dance
at the Country club.
Out in Hanscom park only the chil
dren had a better time than did the
young women who served the ushers.
Mrs. J. T. Stewart. 2d, and Mrs. Sam
uel Burns operated a refreshment con
cession and directed them. If you
doubt that they are having a good
time, you should have seen Miss Eu
genie Patterson and Mrs. John Cald
well in their white cosltumes, com
pleted with fetching Red Cross caps
and veils, as they flourished about
distributing program:, and piloting
the audience to seats. Miss Marion
Kuhn sold crackerjack to the hungry
multitude, while Miss Mary Megeath
and several others carried holders of
ice cream cones for sale to those
plentiful of pocketbook. Perhaps the
fact that when they were safely
screened back in the orchestra wing
they, too, indulged in ice cream cones,
added to the pleasure.
Out at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
T. A. Sunderland, in Fair Acres, the
Thimble club members and their fam
ilies had a genuine old-fashioned pic
nic, with games like drop-the-hand-kerchief
and three deep. The most
fun of all came, though. , when the
committee in charge arranged a spell
ing match and set the brains of all
the guests to. throbbing with such
terrible words as pachyderm, palin
genesis, papaveraceous and paridigi
tate. The match was not ended, need
less to say, for all the spellers were
so proficient that time failed.
One of the interesting happenings
of the luncheon for Pasadena men
was that several young hospital vol
unteers found mutual friends among
the Omaha girls. A handr me young
chap named Carleton Wright had a
sister, who was a schoolmate of Miss
Erna Reed. He had met this Omaha
girl when she was visiting in I-a Jolla,

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months. '
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
an inai is required, it makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, ' and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. Advertisement.

Train the Kiddies
In Generosity
"I am worried," writes a mother to
me, "because my little son is so self
ish. How can I teach him to be gen
erous?" Well, selfishness is a problem, I'll
admit, but happily it is not unsolvable.
That selfish little boy of a worried
mother can be made generous to a
fault (if such a thing is possible) if
she will for a time labor unceasingly,
with faith, patience and tact.
There are, of course, some children
who are what we call "naturally"
selfish, while others are naturally the
opposite, but I think intelligent moth
ers will agree with me that the av
erage child is originally neither one
nor the other, and that his early train
ing determines his standing. How
ever, even the "naturally selfish"
child is far from being hopelessly
selfish. All he neeJs is help to a dif
ferent attitude of mind if he has ever
had any serious thoughts about the
subject at all which he probably
hasn't.
The youngster of tender years, say
f" m the first cry to 5 years, does not
readily comprehend that others be
sides himself may desire things in
tensely. Yet I have seen a year-and-a-half-old
child give up a toy smil
ingly, not once, but several times in
succession, to his various relatives,
who delighted in putting him through
the generosity test. This dear little
smile was the result of his young
mother's patient training and constant
wachfulness for "psychological mo
ments," as it were, for the teaching of
unselfishness.
Do not force a child to be generous
that is, to give up its possessions
unwillingly. Such a method is a great
mistake, for it makes the child re
sentful, besides giving him an unbeau
tiful idea of a beautiful virtue. Forced
giving is likely to be felt as an un
mitigated and unjust deprivation. The
better way is to educate little folk
up to the point where they find happi
ness in giving in making others happy.
Do not fail to call attention to this
happiness when the child has per
formed a generous action, thus im
pressing it on the young mind and
heart.
Stories of generosity are always
helpful both in training young people
to be generous or in that greater
problem the one overcoming any
selfishness that may hnve been al
lowed to develop. Is there anything
finer than the spirit with which
Louisa Alcott's dear "Little Women"
give away their very delicious break
fasts, to a nearby poor family? This
charitable incident is especially ap
preciated when one knows that it
really happened in young Louisa's
own life. Other stories especially
good for instilling generosity are
"The Three Cakes" and "The King
of the Golden River." The life of
Peter Cooper will be enjoyed by the
older children.
Selfishness in a girl or boy ap
proaching womanhood nd manhood
is. of course, more difficult o cope
with than when found in younger
children, but the idea of sending the
former upon short trips with social
workers, or taking them oneself to
see, and help where possible, cases of
distressing need, is effective. Such
cases usually appeal to the most cal
lous, so that there is at least a soften
ing of the soil in which the seeds of
generosity, tactfully planted by the
home folk, may hope to grow and
flourish.
Very often lariness is the real cause
of a child's selfishness. I know a
man ho is ever ready to give away
money in preference to his own serv
ices, not because he is wealthy, but
because he is thus absolved from us
ing his indolent body and brain; he
is not generous; he is merely paying
for what he wants ease. The highest
generosity is self-sacrifice, unless the
contents of the pocket is needed more
than one's personal services.
The poor little only child is always
in danger of becoming selfish from
the sheer lack of opportunities to
share toys and goodies with other
children. Consequently it is wise to
encourage the sisterless, brotherless
bnes to seek companionship among
other children ami to invite those
companions into your Wbuse or garden
where mother eyes may be upon
them.
It irtamentable, but true, that some
mothers deliberately make children
selfish. What do you think of the
women who gives her little girl two
cakes after school accompanied by
idge, J. C. Sheeran and A. L. Digford
of the North Side circle will compose
the committee.
Thirty-five children are anticipating
the affair, which will be an all-day
picnic, both lunch and supper being
served.
Mrs. A. L. Irten and Paul Theman
son volunteered the use of their ma
chines to assist with provisions.
Events to Come.

tend the commencement exertises.

Not only should children be taught
to give; they should be taught to give
graciously. Many a shining gift has
lost its radiance "because of the man
ner with which it was presented. The
"gifting spirit" is a lovely thing which
glorifies even the passing on of an old
garment. To give tactfully, quietly
(even secretly); to give freely, gladly
ah, then giving becomes worth
while, and giver as well as receiver is
enriched.
But that reminds me. If few folk
know how to give beautifully still
fewer know how to give gracefully.
Make it a point to express a frank
and unmistakable gratitude or appre
ciation when a little child performs a
generous deed. XThus will the kiddie
be set an example, and he, too, will
be "generous" with -his gratitude and
receive in the same spirit as that in
which a gift is offered. Rene Still--n

Omaha Women Ready to Aid
In Conservation Campaign
That Omaha women are ready for
any war time emergency is demon
strated by the fact that four organ
izations have already expressed their
willingness to co-operate with the
government and State Council for
Defense in recruiting women for
membership in the national food con
servation campaign, which, as out
lined by Herbert C Hoover, will be
from July 1 to 15.
Mrs. J. M. Metcalfe, president of
the Equal Franchise society, said:
"The suffragists stand ready to co
operate in any way."
"Mrs. Langworthy Taylor, state
chairman of the National League for
Woman Service, received instructions
from the national chairman. Miss
Maude Wetmore, to co-operate with
the State Council for Defense in the
work," said Mrs. William Archibald
Smith, local chairman.
Mrs. F. J. Birss, president of the
Woman Voter's Conservation league,
expressed the desire and willingness
of the organization to co-operate as
far as possible in the work.
Rabbi Colin of the Board of Public
Welfare, said: "The Board of Public
Welfare will co-operate willing in
any'possible way."
Public Vacation Schools
Start in Three Buildings
Public vacation schools were open
ed Monday morning at Lothrop, Far

were maintained last summer and are
intended particularly for children
who failed to make grades and are
anxious to make up their failures.
Sugar in Jelly Making.
Washington, June 18. Much waste
of sugar and spoilage of jellies can
be avoided by using a simple alcohol
test recommended by the Bureau of
Chemistry, United States Department
of Agriculture. To determine how
much sugar should be used with each
kind of juice put a spoonful of juice
in a glass and add to it one spoonful
of 9o per cent grain alcohol, mixed
by shaking the glass gently. Pour
slowly from the glass, noting how the
pectin trft substance in fruits which
makes them jell is precipitated. If the
pectin is precipitated as one lump a
cup of sugar may be used for each cup
ot juice; if in several lumps the pro
portion of -sugar must be reduced to
approximately three-fourths the
amount of the juice. If the pectin Jy
not in lumps, but is merely pre
cipitated, the sugar should be one
half or less of the amount of the
juice. If the juice shows no pre
cipitation under this test, it is un
suitable for jelly making and must be
combined with apples or other juices
rich in pectin.
The housewife will do well before
making the test, to taste the ;uicj, as
fruits not as acid as good tart apples
t robably will not make good jelly un
less mixed with other fruits which
are acid.
