have again pui in their appearance
as a recognized household linen clos-
et furnishing. They help solve the
problem of sleeping in luxurious
warmth now, as in olden days. The
necessity for blanket sheets in set-
tler homes, and even in much later
periods, was such that household
looms were kept busy weaving
enough of these thin wool sheets to
supply thfe requirements of the fam-
ily guest-room beds. By the use
of these sheets, the weight pf covers
could be decreased on a bed without
any lessening of warmjh of the
sleeper.
Among the treasures of-many a
family are old-time blanket sheets.
Two homespun sheets of wool, from
sheep that gfazed in the pastures of
an ancestral farm in 1790, are
among my prized possessions. What I
is more they still are used either
for light weight summer blankets ‘
or winter blanket sheets for com- 1
fortable warmth.
The modern blanket sheets are not ’
generally in plain natural colored ’
wool, of a creamy hue approaching ■
the color of linen sheets as closely !
as possible. More frequently than
not, the sheets are colored and of
wool finish cotton yarn or cotton
and wool, instead of all wool. Plaid i
ig a favorite design for them, al- I
though there are other patterns and 1
also blankets in beautiful pastel I
shades. ’ '
A pair of blanket sheets may be |
wanted, but-one is apt to be used [
either as a top, or under sheet, as I
preferred- Regulation cotton or linen I
sheets are not eliminated.. The |
blanket sheets come between these, |
and may not be among the covers
of the bed when made up, but be
put on between the sheets should

time. The warmth of the textile I

TAKING a bath can be one of the
enjoyable acts of cleanliness.
So many of these are just work,
the measure of pleasure consisting
in the after knowledge that dirt,
dust and impurities have been ban-
ished. So it is good to realize that
personal comfort can be coupled
with the bath in cold weather, and
not eliminated when the joy of sea
bathing must be
abandoned for a
season.
The zest of salt
water bathing
can be imparted
in minor degrees
by putting a good
sprinkling of sea
salt in the water
in the tub. Salts
of various kinds
are beneficial
when thus added,
and if these are
perfumed,, one of
the luxuries of
tub-bathing is im-
parted. Epsom
salts are a base
for these de luxe
salts. To them
are added ingred-
ients chief among
which is the per-
fume. The salts
themselves are
cheap, especial-
ly when bought in
five pound quantities. This makes it
possible for everyone, who so wish-
es, to enjoy the benefits of the salts,
even though they prefer but-must
forego the delicate aroma which rises
from perfumed bath salts which are
not present in the plain salts.
Bath Soaps.
The matter of bath soaps is one
for each person to decide for him-
self, unless advised by a physician
of some particular kind best suited
to his skin. Some persons choose a
soap that floats. This can be home-
made as well as purchased. Sel-
ect the one which by experiment
suits you best. These soaps are
seldom of the exotic variety, but
this is not so important to some
persons; as being able to pick the
cake up without searching for it
when the soap slips out of the hand.
The majority of persons, however,
delight more in tfce fragrance of the
soap when, with this pleasant el-
ement, .is coupled a quality con-
genial to the skin.
Those who like to use a nail brush
for fingers and toes while, in the
bath, do well to choose a brush
that floats, as will all those with
bristles secured in wood.,
A towel rack above the tub, or
a rack so conveniently placed that
the face cloth and the ample bath
towel can be reached from the tub
without a far stretch, or having
actually to get out of the tub, adds
decidedly to- bathing comforts. And
be sure to have a soap dish that
fastens over the edge of the tub.
“Mother of Thanksgiving”
TY F COURSE, we all know we
owe the observance 0. Thanks-
giving to the Pilgnm forefathers.
But if it hadn't been for the persist-
ence of a woman editor the chances
are that it would still, he only a,New
England festival instead of a na-
tionwide holiday celebrated in all '
states on the last Thursday in No-
vember. Sara Josephs Hale was
her name and she was the editor
of Godey’s Lady’s Book, the most
popular woman’s magazine of the
Nineteenth century.
She was born in New Hampshire
in 1788, and, like all New England-
ers, the celebration of Thanks-
giving, ev$n though its observance
was not a regular event, was very
dear to her. As early as’1827 she
began advocating that “Thanksgiv-
ing, like the Fourth of July, should
be considered a national festival
and observed by all our people/”
But it was not until 1846 tnat she
began her campaign through the
columns of Godey’s Lady’s Book of
which she became editor in 1828.
Early each spring she began writ-
ing letters to governors of al states
and territories asking their assist-
ance in making the last Thursday
in November, which had been Wash-
ington’s choice for the firs Thanks-
giving Day, set aside by Presiden-
tial proclamation. By 1849 most of
these commonwealths were keeping
individual festivals but no attempt
was made to have the date uni-
form. So Mrs. Hale started on the
Presidents. - •
She wrote to ■Fillmore, Pierce and
Buchanan again and again. But all
of them ignored her, for they felt
that such “feminine meddling in
public affairs” should be frowned
upon. However, in 1863, as the re-
sult of a letter which she wrote to
President Lincoln, ht issued the
first national Thanksgiving day
proclamation since Washington’s
day. Mrs. Hale had won her battle
after 17 years’ effort. With the
precedent thur established other
Presidents, as well as governors of
states, have never deviated from
the custom wluch Lincoln thus es-
tablished.
Being thus the “Mother of
Thanksgiving” was not, however,
Mrs. Hale’s only claim to distinc-
tion. She’was the author of that fa-
mous poem, “Mary Had a Little
: Lamb”; she was the first tc advo-
; cate women teachers in public
I schools; she started the first day
nursery; she founded the first so-

en’s wages, and I er demands that

running water and probably air con-
ditioning.
In spite of its million pound
weight, scientists say, the telescope
will roll easily and be under ex-
cellent control. Engineers have the
friction problem so well in hand
that the giant tube can be shifted
by the pressure of an infant’s hand.
They are, however^jnstalling a
small electric motor to accomplish
this task.
Huge Bearings.
Only a fraction of the strength
of a one-horsepower motor is re-
quired to move the great instru-
ment, the biggest bearing of which
will be forty-six feet ip diameter.
This is the split-ring or horse-
shoe-rshaped piece^ which constitutes
the north support. The outer sur-
face will be machined glass-smooth
and will rest on two patented oil
pads, floating and sliding oh a ’film
of oil three one-thousands of an inch
thick. The oil is fed under pressure.
Westinghouse’s executives, who
are used to the bigness of turbines,
condensers, generators and the like,
say they know of nothing similar
anywhere to compare in size witl)
this.
When the telescope tube is fin-
ished, the fabricated pieces will be
carried by ship to California and
thehce overland to the summit of
Mount Palomar, in special over-
size trucks used in the Boulder Dam
construction and over specially-
built, wide turn roads.
U. S. Navy engineers in charge
of the observatory construction es-
timated three additional years will
be required before the great ’scope
is ready to take its wide turn in the
heavens, reaching out through eight
times more space than the current
largest ’scope at Mount Wilson..

Prisoner of War
IN THE year 1758 there was born
* to an English family, then liv-
ing in Ireland, a son who was to
bear the name of aohn Whistler.
Before he became oi age young
John ran away from home and en-
listed in the British army In 1777
he was sent to America with troops
who were
Burgoyne.
Johnny’s”
aster at
Whistler was a prisoner of war.
Before the end of the Revolution
he was sent back to Engan as an
exchanged prisoner and soon after-
wards ht was discharged from the
army. Then he fell in love with
the daughter of one of his father’s
friends, eloped with her, came to
America a second time and settled
down at Hagerstown, Md. But he
could not be content with civilian
life for long. So in 179i this soldier
who had worn the scarlet uniform
of Old England put on the nonde-
script uniform of a lieutenant adju-
tant in the levies which made up a
part of the army of the new repub-
lic.
From that time on he served con-
tinuously on the Northwestern fron-
tier under St. Clair, Wayne and the
others who were campaigning
agaii st the hostile Indians. By 1797
he had won a captaincy and in 1803
he was stationed at Detroit. Then
orders were given to build a fort
at the foot of Lake Michigan and
establish a garrison there with

a marked change. The field of mu-
sic has undergone processes of
creation quite different from the
genuis of the old music masters.
Much of the really fine music has
been replaced by cheap jazz. The
phonograph, the only apparatus we
have for permanently recording
sound, has been relegated to the at-
tic. Now in our homes, the radio
bleats out the modern musical
whims composed overnight, save
for an occasional symphonic hour.
Reading has also felt the changing
inclinations of a hurried people. The
popular demand today is for the
short story that creates a thrill,
rather than an inspiring ideal. Most
of the books written today will not
be read twenty-five years hence.
People want change. Our bodies
are constantly undergoing changes.
Every seven years we are told that
we have a new body, even though
we are unmindful that the process
is going on. We are not conscious
of the physical changes because of
the permanent element in personal-
ity; that element is Love.
The objects upon which love is
centered may change, but not love
itself. A mother’s love today is the
same as it was centuries ago when
it was so wisely tested by Solomon.
The loyalty of the family relation-
ship is the same today as when
Ruth pledged her filial devotion to
Naomi. No, love does not change,
but its modes of expression and the
objects upon which love is bestowed .
may change. Love is the only per-
manent thing in the world. Indeed,
Henry Drummond, whose scientific
writings caused a tempest in the
philosophic thinking of his day,
said: “Love is the greatest thing in
the world.”
Love is more than animal passion,
for it is not that al all. Love is
more than affection; more than
mere attraction between two people.
Love is the yearning for the priv-
ilege of expressing one’s deeper
spiritual self in adoration of that
which is recognized as the highest
