CROCHET SCARF
By GRANDMOTHER CLARK
Here Is a very practical scarf that
Is easy to make and costs so little.
It’s made with the large filet stitch.

decorative cover on many articles In
the home. When using a number 5
steel crochet hook and number 15
cotton, the scarf will measure about
12 by 34 inches when finished. Buffet
set and chair set to match this scarf
were shown a few weeks ago.
This package, No. 707, contains
■uflicienf cream color Mountain Craft
crochet cotton to complete the scarf,
also Instructions, black and white
diagram for easy counting of meshes,
and a crochet hook. Write our

How many people Inhabit the
earth!
In our own country as well as the
leading ones periodical censuses are
taken which give the exact figures
every so often and by _ comparing
these with previous ones It Is easy
for the mathematical sharps to fig¬
ure out really reliable estimates of
the population in between times.
But among the uncivilized tribes
In various parts of the world no
count Is possible, and for the black
races of Africa and some of the yel¬
low ones of China and Central Asia
relatively little Information is avail¬
able. Nevertheless, after gathering
together all information possible the
statistical Institute of the League of
Nations In 1930 estimated the world
population at approximately 2,000,
000,000 human beings, and that Is
the generally accepted figure for the
world at large.
It Is recognized that the world
population is steadily Increasing but
In the absence of actual figures few
are brave enough to hazard a guess
as to the rate. Prof. E. M. East of
Harvard university, however, has
ventured to estimate the annual In¬
crease at a little more than 18,000,
000 or about 50,000 a day.
Concerning this subject Prof. A. N.
Carr-Saunders of Liverpool univer¬
sity, England, a recognized world
authority on the subject, issued an
estimate last year for use by the En¬
cyclopedia Britannica in which he de¬
clared the world now inhabited by
more than 2,025,000,000 persons and
furthermore, they are steadily In¬

MANY LETTERS
----- Addressed to You Personally ========ji
rnHINK JL of the advertisement* in this paper as so many letters I I
addressed to you personally. That's what they're intended |
to be, and, actually, that's what they are. This newspaper is, in I
effect, a mail-bag which brings you news of events and news of
the best merchandise at the fairest prices.
You don’t throw away letters unread. You don't read three
or four letters carefully and skim through the rest. Treat the
“merchandise letters" in this newspaper the same way. Read
them all. Read them carefully. One single item will often repay
you for the time it has taken to read them all.
Many good housekeepers have formed the habit of reading
their newspaper with a pencil and paper, ready to jot down the
articles they wish to look at when they start out on their shop¬
ping tour. Try this method. It saves time, and saves money,
and provides you with the pick of the day's merchandise.

He credits Asia, the largest <■ *,
tinent. with the greatest munbw of
people — some 1,071,000,000 (not
counting Russia)—-or a tittle more
than half the world population. Eu¬
rope, which ranks fifth in the size of
continents, is given second place as
to population with a total of 382,
000,000 (excluding Russia). Russia
alone is granted about 104,000,000
while all of Africa, white and black,
lias but 143,000,000 and North
America around 135,000,000. ot which
about 127,000,000 are United Sta
ttcians. He credits South America
with 85,000,000; Centra! \meriea
000,000 and Australia and Oceania
with a combined 10,000,000 to make
up his estimated total.
One finding is particularly sur¬
prising to most in view of the fact
that Germany, Italy and a few othpr
countries offer substantial endow¬
ments for newly married couples and
a bonus for each child horn. This is
that file population in Russia seems
to he increasing faster than any¬
where else on earth—the increase
being estimated at about 4,000,000 a
year, or 2 per cent.
One per cent annual increase is
considered the average, and even
the .Taps, regarded heretofore as the
most rapidly increasing race, in¬
crease hut little faster than the nor¬
mal rate.—Pathfinder Magazine.

My first grievance was against a
billy-goat.
I found him tied
Grudge and* to a stake with a
Grievances tether J" s 1 lon «
enough to enable
him to range in a circle about fifteen
feet in diameter.
When I came along he. had eaten
everything edible within the circle of
His tether, and was stretching Ids
neck toward some bushes just beyond
his reach.
Deeply sorry for him, I untied the
rope so that he might extend his op¬
portunities.
He looked at me, with a kind and
grateful expression on his face, and
then advancing a few steps, butted me
over.
I arose in pained surprise. He had
been unworthy of my trust. Thence¬
forward I disliked that goat with a bit¬
terness that soured me for quite a time.
1 have had other unpleasant con¬
tacts since that time.
Out of them have grown a number
of grudges and grievances.
* * *
I have lent money to friends, and
found that they became indignant when
they discovered that I wanted it to be
repaid.
Big and powerful men have thrust
me aside at Fourth of July fireworks
so they could see the “set pieces”
better.
But I am learning now. I don’t bear
any grudges.
I find that thinking about unpleasant
people makes me bitter.
So 1 don’t think about them any
more.
There is a great deal that is un
likeable about humanity.
But why trouble yourself about it?
* « «
If you will take the same altitude to¬
ward the people who haven't done the
right thing by you as you do toward a
stick, which when you stepped on it,
flew up and hit you a crack in the nose,
you will be more contented.
’’Grudge," quarrels had better be for¬
gotten as soon as possible.
Life is too short to think about
them any more.
Just figure in advance that some
people are going to he “mean to you,”
qow and again—that you can't help it
and that there is nothing to do about
it, and you will have more serenity,
more peace of mind, and sleep better
at night.
We have got to live with our neigh¬
bors. If we don’t like them we can
leave them alone.
It will only make us cynical and
unhappy if we dwell in private on in¬
juries which can so easily be for¬
gotten.

In my school days 1 looked forward
eagerly to the time, when, on grad¬
uation from high

1 listened happily to the “essays” and
“orations” of members of the gif na¬
tion class—“pieces” which com'iced
me that they soon would lie out in the
world, well equipped for the battle for
life, and ready to win money and
fame.
I know better than that now. But
still I find myself wondering vaguely
if 1 have really learned anything at
all.
I read about as much as the average :
man or woman. I try to think. I try to
solve the problems that confront me.
And yet I constantly wonder how I am
going to learn a quarter of the things
that I ought to learn, with just a mere
average mind, that keeps leaping here
and there in an effort to discover the
easiest way.
* * »
Maybe 1 am not very much different
from other people.
It is possible that some of them
merely bluff rheir way through life,
and pretend to understand many proh
lerns that they do not understand
a* all.
But, as 1 grow older, I regret the
time that has slipped by when I wasn’t
noting its passage at all, how much
I have loafed when I should have
worked, and how many opportunities
have slipped through my lingers be
cause I was too lazy to make use of
them.
* * *
I pass these ideas along to you be¬
cause I know—though only partly from
my own experience, that a “check
up” now and then is good for the soul.
Hook back over the old track once
in a while.
See how far you have failed in your
efforts.
No matter how old you may be, there
is always a chance for a fresh start.
So make a fresh start and stick to
it. Your body may wear out. Your
brain will not If you use it.
Compare yourself to those who have
passed you on the way up.
Find out where you have failed and
why.
And maybe, though your education
will never be completed, it will before
you pass on be a source of real hap¬
piness, and you can say before It’s all
over:

TO “APPLESEED
JOHNNY’S” LABOR
He was a gentle lunatic, “Johnny
Appleseed.” Or perhaps he was a
saint. His first appearance In his¬
tory. where he is now secure of his
niche tn the saga of American pio¬
neering, is in the year 1800 when he
is seen drifting down the Ohio In a
strange craft with a queer cargo:
two canoes lashed together bearing
a load of rotten apples from the
cider presses of Pennsylvania. His
errand is to plant apple seeds in the
wilderness that orchards may he
there awaiting the white settlers
when they arrive. This was ids er¬
rand for 46 years. Like a good
many other Deneficent cranks lie Is
supposed to nave been born in Bos¬
ton, and perhaps the wine of revolu¬
tion mixed with his blood, for his
birth year is given as 1775. Of holy
books he had two: the Bible and
Emmanuel Swedenborg, which he
read aloud to border families by the
light of cabin fires; he ate no meat,
killed no living creatures—not even
venomous reptiles—befriended ani¬
mals, went unharmed, though all but
naked, In a savage wilderness that
teemed with wild beasts and Indians,
and these last venerated him as a
powerful “medicine.” In 1812 he
spread the alarm of an impending In¬
dian attack and saved hundreds of
settlers from massacre. But more
than saint, he was artist, and his
art-form was the apple. It was a
passionate conviction with him that
the tree should be raised from the
seed, and he chose his orchard sites
for fertility and picturesqueness
with the fastidious taste of poet and
painter, fenced the enclosure, and
returned each year to tend his trees.
Ohio people still remember him with
affection for his were the first fruits
of their wilderness.—Boston Globe.

bowels and stomach. One little Pellet for

Russian Thoroughness
For several years Russia has been
collecting samples of wheat from a
number of countries in order to find
the kind which will grow best in
each of Its great variety of climates.
Today, writes D. Y. O'Connell, Len¬
ingrad, U. S. S. R., in Collier's Week¬
ly, it has 30,000 samples labeled and
stored in Leningrad, a supply large
and varied enough to resow the en¬
tire wheat crop of the world.
