That Little Margin.
By MRS. NESTOR NOEL.
The whole day is crowd. I with;
work. We try to do 20 hours' w rk
In 16 hours, and we arrange our
days iso that there is not any time I
for interruptions. Wo*race the chil-1
(iron 9ff to school, and than wo;
give ourselves to the day's work.'
When they come back, we tell them
'<to get out of the way and n both ;
er us; wo have enough to <1 >." Then.;
when they are sale in lied, we briny ;
out the huge mending basket and
tackle that! At last worn out, we
retire, only to begin the ante hard;
life all over again! There is no
relaxation, no pleasure in such a]
life.
Children arc afraid to canto to us
with their broken dolls and their cut |
fingers, because they will interrupt j
our work! What kind of a home is
this, where Work reigns supreme as1
a kind of Tyrant and there is no
room for Love?
A mother who really loves her chil-j
dren and loves to be with them
could not tolerate such a life. If she
has 12 hours In a day, she will plan;
11 or even 10 hours' work, and leave
a margin over for tho children. Her!
windows may not be quite s> shiny,
dtid perhaps, no oho will want to
eat off her kitchen floor; but she
will not be a nervous, worn-out.
'wreck at 40 and her children will
bo happier.
One should lonvo a margin for a
T03t, another margin for recreation
and a third for the children. This
last Is tho most Import int of nil.
What kind of a life da children have,
when their mothers have not even
tinre for a kiss?
I like to Imagine a family whore
the Mother is everything to her
children and they up not afraid of
in; rrupting her. When the children
r tme b irk from school, they are
longing to “tell Mother" all the
little happenings of thoir day. They
want to tell her the joys and the
sorrows, tho plea-suros and the pain.
Perhaps, one child fell down and got
a bruise. It may not hurt very much.
Still, if mother knew, it would feel
hotter at once! The teacher may
have been cross, then Mother would
explain that perhaps she had a head
ache. and the child would return to
school the next day, without, dread
ing it. it might be a prize well won.
New. what use is a prize, if Mother
does net take pride in It?
T once knew a woman whose chil
dren seemed to me to he interrupt
ing her from morning to night! She
was nover even ruffled! At her
busiest moments, they would rush in
and need all he.r attention.
.“How do you ever gm your work]
done?" I asked.
"I never even notice their inter
ruptions,” she said. “You see, I al
ways leave a margin in mv time.
This margin belongs to my children.
If all 1 plan 1s not done; does it
matter so much after all? There Is
•tomorrow. Kven if there were no!
tomorrow, what then? Wo owe our
solves to our children."
It was quite true, I thought, and
she mado a most excellent mother.
If wo made friends of our chil
dren, their society would never bore
us. Those women are lucky who
have time to spare for their children.
We can and must take the time,
even if wo have to neglect a little
vvi rk. I)a let us resolve that, from
this moment, we shall 30 arrange
our work that the children may have,
no' merely "a little margin." but a
good, big margin of our time!
WOMEN'S NEW FIELD OF ENDEAVOR.

Hi-*** I/gLur^ £ Defb/iW.

Miss Laura K. Detwiler, of Seville, Ohio, has invaded a field
of endeavor long held exclusively by nun. She is a landscape and
estate designer and is completing her studies at the University of
Pennsylvania.
NATION TAKING
STOCK OF ITS
FORESTS ;WOODS
(Continued From rage Oae.l
of our demands. Further, a great
part of the forests of Siberia lie
within the Interior of the continent
and never will he available. There
Is an immense reservoir of ha'vl
woods in i he tropics, which can be
used for limited ami special purposes
and secured at mahogany prices. Bui
the struggle for the world's supply
of softwoods will become more an I
snore intense, and those nations will
fare best that prudently use their
suitable waste lands for growing
coniferous woods. This study shat-1
tens the dream of those who rely <>
importing the timber wa need when;
our own is gone
Situation Not Hopeful
“The situation is n hop. fit! when I
wo turn to our own forests. There!
has been a marked and fairly steady I
decline in our national output of!
lumber from about 46,000,000,0001
board feet in 19<i6 to less than 34.
000,000,000 board feet in 1920. This
downward trend, w.hich seems nn-1
Ifkolv to turn permanently upward,
again at any time that can now be I
foreseen, has taken place in spite of:
a largo incraasp in population, with
its increasing demand for housing,
furniture and wood in many other
forms. The decline In the produc
tion of lumber and the Increase In
population have resulted In a strik
ing drop in liie per capita consump
tion of lumber from over 500 board
fecit per person In 1006 to about 320
board feet In 1920. This decline In
the consumption of wood unques
tionably moans a dec-lino In the
standards of living. Of this declin
ing standard the shortage of hous
ing Is an impressive example.
“The shortage >r lumber, with Its
corollary of high prices, has followed
the Westward sweep of lumbering,
while the bulk of our population and
Hi-- greatest demands for lumber re
main in tho Central and ' Eastern
states. The nation's lunvbeV ship
mont in 1920, a rei -nt Poorest Ser
vice study shows, was no less than
2,070,000 carloads; and the average
haul for each carload was 485 mllos.
According to the best estimate the
Forest Service is able to make, the
freight bill on lumber for that year
was $275,000,000. This suA merely
.lives one measure of the cost of|
Testing our forests as mines Instead:
»f timber farms A fraetlon of thl«|
■mm wisely Invested each year in
forest protection and rehabilitation
coal-d grow timber where tt Is nee-'
■d. reduce the nation’s freight bill,
•heapen lumber and release vs' |
imounts of railroad equipment and
ilx>r for unavoidable transport. Coal
uni iron cannot bo grown, but tlm
>er can be.”

HENRY PIGG HEARS
RADIO CONCERT
WITHOUT AERIAL
Board Walls No Object—13 i
Year Old Boy Accomplishes
Experiment Successfully.
__ /
A radio concert received in the'
living room of liis home, without tHe |
aid of an aerial and with no wires j
e-4 ..octing outsido the house, i. the 1
a o' mpllshment of Henry rig^, 13-1
v ear-eld son of Dr. and Mrs. »V .1
Pigg. Master Pigg received in thisj
manner by himself recently and:
while telling his parents, they re
quested that they be “shown.”
So, Master Pigg disconnected Ills
receiving set, which is in a room
on the third story of his home, from
the wires connecting it to the aerial,
and took it downstairs to the living
room He placed it on the piano
bench and ran a wire, lengthened
by a steel tape line, to the stove,
about six feet from the bench, all >w-:
tog the tape line container to res i
behind a leg of the stove, this .eirgl
the only connection. He then t no <.
In the set and the concert being
broadcasted by the Alaska Light &
Power Company was heard clearly j
and without the rasping sound which j
is usual with the aerial connection,!
Mrs. Pigg said.
' IMS reat is not unusual and Is
dono considerably in tho Slates, but !
as far as is known it has never be
fore been tried in Juneau and cer-i
tainl.v not by a boy only 13 years1
of age. Master Pigg shows an as-1
tonishirvg knowledge of radio opera-]
tion and spends most of his time |
experimenting w’ltb his receiving sot.;
He has not yet cased it and he j
says there is much to be perfected j
before he will he willing to set it upi
permanently. Ho lias a WDtl type]
vacuum detector tube and expats to
install three tubes of the same type
in the near future. As soon as the
! weather wiU permit he plan3 to move
I his aerial from i;s present location
to a higher position and will then
he able to receive from a further
distance, he says.
"Receiving without the aid of an i
aerial was only an experiment,” said'
Master Plgg. "It wohks fine hut the]
use of an aerial is better because
everything comes in louder.”
Master Pigg is apparently uncon
scious that he is doing anything un
usual and can’t understand why
everybody his own age and especial
ly why "grown-ups” don’t under
stand radio and talk about it as he
does. He devotes his entire time,
j aside from school hours, on his set.
