(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Why stoop over to clean, or get down on your knees on the floor to scrub, when you can use houseclean- ing tools with long handles? Mops, scrub brushes, dust-brooms and dust- pans can all be bought with extended handles that save effort and time us well as the muscles of your back. Here is a farm woman in Marshall county, Illinois, who has found a long- handled dust-pan a great convenience when cleaning a room. As with any other dust-pan, in selecting it one sh8uld see that the edge is firm and straight, so that it will come into di- rect contact with the floor. The side to which the handle is attached should Long-Handled Dust-Pan. be high and shaped so as to prevent dirt from falling out. The tin of which the dust-pan made should be of fairly heavy quality. The housewife using the dust-pan shown is a member of a testing circle organized by the county home onstration agent. Each member various pieces of household equip- ment in turn, so that all may have a chance to see which pieces are adapt- ed to the special needs of the indi- vidual household. Then, as opportu- nity arises, the piece may be bought. The picture was taken by the United States Department of Agriculture, is dem- tests Needed in Child’s Diet Both vegetables and fruits supply the body with iron, lime and other mineral matter, and some protein and body fuel as well as mild acids. They are particularly necessary in the diet of children, says the United States De- partment of Agriculture. They should be served at least once a day, as they help to keep the bowels in good con- dition. Vegetables may be used flavoring for soups and stews, may be added milk or meat stews, or served with meat gravy. If gravy Is used, do not have it too fat nor make it with scorched fat. as to Feeding the Canary The food requirements of canaries are simple. Canary seed to which have been added rape seed and a little hemp is a staple diet that persons who keep only a few birds usually pur- chase ready mixed. Canary seed alone does not furnish a balanced food, but forms a good combination with hemp and summer rape. Much of the rape seed in prepared seed sold in cartons is of a species that even wild birds do not eat, as it is pungent and bitter in flavor, but all relish the mild taste of true summer rape. Brown Stew of Beef Is Liked Best by Family Not every one knows how to make a good stew, and yet, when well sea- sonec and carefuily cooked, a stew may prove to be one of the meat dishes the family iikes best. A good brown stew is started by browning the pieces before covering them with water. The meat is simmered, never boiled, and cooked until it is tender. Here are the full directions, from the bureau of home economics: Brown Stew of Beef. 112 1bs. round steak 1 tsp.-salt J cups water 2 tbs. chopped 1 to 2 tsp. grated parsley onion Flour Select a good piece of round steak, wipe and cut it into small uniform pieces. Roll in flour and sear in an iron skillet in some of the fat from the steak, then place it in a covered saucepan, add the water, and simmer until tender. Add the onion and salt. Measure the liquid, and to each cup- ful allow three tablespoonfuls of flour for browning. To brown the flour put it in a clean smooth skillet over medium heat and stir the flour con- stantly until it becomes well browned. Mix the browned flour with the broth, add the meat and parsley, and cook until the gravy has thickened. The, flour can also be browned the oven, stirring now and then so that it does not scorch, If one is especially fond of the browned flavor | a quantity of flour can be prepared and stored for use as needed. in Strawberry Ice Cream Is Strawbérry season begins before the local berries are ripe, for the in- creased facilities for transporting strawberries from the Far South are bringing this delicious fruit to north- ern tables as early as January, and almost everywhere, by the middie of April, berries from some market are to be had. Strawberry ice cream is almost as popular as shortcake, and the family will enjoy it as often as you can make it by the recipe given by the bureau of home economics.

The shifting in population is due to the installation of more efficient machinery on the farms, thus lessening the demand for ~ | | labor, The decrease in farm population has been necessary from an -eco- nomic standpoint. When you get rid of the necessity of an average of about 20,000 men in a wheat harvest, then there isn’t anything else for the people to do in the country except farm. Of course, in order to have a sound, economic state, a large number of other people will have to get out of the farming area. This is the thing that has been happen ing in our agricultural area throughout the entire Middle West, and it isn’t a thing about which we need feel discouraged. I have also heard it said that the small town in the Middle West is becoming decadent; that it is being wiped off the map. As a mat- ter-of fact, the Rockefeller Institute for Research recently made an extensive study of the small towns of America, and their conclusions were that in the last ten years an added number of towns have been ouilt in America, and that the population of these towns has been in- creasing. “Jazz Journalism” Is of the Past; Era of More Intelligent Press Here By KARL A.

If you are well-to-do in England and can afford to wait, practical y all careers are open to you. If you are poor, it is a different story, of ourse. I don’t think we have solved in England the question of “open reers” or opportunities for young men as well as you > in” the Unit- | States. Unlike you, we are a crowded country. Apart from special circumstances, I am convinced that in the end man generally does what he desires to do and I believe that is more rue the United States than in England. If with sufficient th he desires to doa special thing, he will finally accomplish it. Broadly eaking, there are two objects of desire: To be something: to do something.

DAVID KINLEY, President University of Illinois. | Criticisms of the “school faults of children” should be directed | against parents rather than school teachers. Too often we are inclined to blame the teachers, rather than our children or ourselves, when teach. | ers find it necessary to tell us that our children are not doing as well as they would like. The fault lies with us or our children, and for that reason we should strive to sympathize with the teachers in their work, especially in their difficulties, and should make it our bu to support their policies so | far as we can. There is a good deal of agitation about our school svstem, our methods of education, the school curriculum, its management. and many cther subjects in the field of education. My own study of much of this discussion has led me to the conclusion that most of it is uncritical, ir. rational, impulsive and subversive, rathor than promotive of sound edu cation.
