Jfarence Riddick Beys Schools Mother's Part have set for Joins Polar themselves v seven objectives in the training of our children. We mothers can help might- , lly by being aware of these seven points and laying the foundations for them in our treatment of the children * at home. The seven objectives are: * Health and Safety; Worthy Home t Membership; Mastery of Tools, Tech- nics, and the Spirit of Learning; Citi- zenship and World Goodwill; Voca- 1 tional and Economic Effectiveness; * Wise use of Leisure, and Ethical , Character. Good habits of cleanliness, eating, sleeping, exercise and outdoor life will * help with the health program. An ap- preciation of the home, a share in its * work and pleasures and the habit of ., co-operation with members of the fam- ily will give them a fine start toward * worthy home membership. The mas- ,iery of tools, technics and the spirit of learning may be .cultivated by own- * ing playthings, tools, gardens, peta, , musical instruments, work benches, drawing boards and good books; by * having a convenient place to study; and by discussions of problems in the family circle. Order, regular habits, appreciation of the rights of others, < co-operation and a desire to serve the public will start a child on (tie way to - i citizenship. 1 To use leisure time wisely, one must know how to play. Many people toever learn that, or If {hey know It in childhood, they soon forget it and * when they become adults they know nothing to do In spare time but to twiddle their thumbs. Games, good * reading, music, hobbies, creative arts . and pleasure in companionships make leisure- times jolly aa well as develop- m^ntal. 4 For ethical character, the home * ami mother can furnish nothing bet tar than good heredity, a worthy ex- ample and a wholesome atmosphere. > A big order, but simple, too, and the- Child who has them can hardly go wrong. Taking a Taxi \\hen arriving in a city, it is safer to take one of the regular Hue of taxis rai'.ier than free-boot tr autos or cabs which are without trade mrfrks or dis- tinguishing insignia by which they are f- 1. . t'.y known aa taxi-cabs. Some taxi companies have a certain color or tyl'j of vehicle by whioh all may re- cognise them The traveller may feel rea-unably sure that such an automo bile is a bona fide taxi and not merely a vehicle an adventurer has driven to the station in which to pick up some one. He may feel assured that the driv-.r :- reliable, to a degree, for a coaip.iny in good standing will employ only .-n< a chauffeurs to drlva its cabs. On the streets. It is safer to take one of the taxis lined up In front of a have the style In your favor. This Is to be a season at great combination of goods and colors. | Take care, in making a garment over, to change the places of wear. [ Use better pieces for parts which j must endure the most strain. Cut out ; the weak spots, if you can. Adapt > the style so completely that the wear- 1 er will feel delighted with the made-' over garment and not as though it were second hand or a substitute. Frequently a made-over dress may be so attractive that it gives more joy in its reincarnation than was ever felt 'in Its first life. hotel, rather than to hail a pacing cab anywhere on the highway. The tip, usually expected by the door- man In the hotel when he puU you In a cab, may be money well spent since It Is a guarantee that tha hotel recog niz--i this as a good line ot taxi-cabs. In a reliable cab, one need not be alarmed If the driver goes out of his .way aud does not always take the ehort'st and most direct line to his destination. Such items as a torn up , a corner at which he dare not a turn, a rough pavement, or *te<t traffic may make him de .Tlate from the route you would expecl to take. . ! Table Decoration . For the meal-time centerpiece, prob tyly nothing else will ever be quite acceptable as flowers, but other ,. - may be used. A little piece of taiuary, f. rare piece ot silver or pew tar, fruit, even a ship model may serve s'qeuter of attraction. ' On. Bueh occasions as harvest fes ,|lvaU, Christmas or a patriotic day an appropriate centerpiece may be de- ed which will be particularly sig - r . ot. A pumpkin, or horn of plenty [filled with vegetables, fruits and nuts; k Winter landscape, with a mirror laid It.upou the table to represent a lake for snow, and reindeer or _ or a device of flags, tents, and jgldlers may stir the Joy and inter i those about the board.

Tall caudles are at present In favor aud they stand so high that they do not need shades. Medley Gelatine C:>ok a pint of cranberries In a cup and a half of water. Strain the juice as for jelly, then cook In It six apples sliced and a half cup of raisins. While his sauce is still boiling hot, add a ablespoon of softened gelatine, as for any gelatine dish. When the dish, be- gins to thicken add a half cup of nut meats, and let It cool and form a mold. When the mold is firm, tip It out on a dish, upside down; and garnish, with whipped cream for serving. Measuring Shortening How to measure a half cup of short- ening Is sometimes a problem. It la easy this way: Fill a cup half full of water, then put in chunks of shorten- ing until the cup is full. Pour off the water and you have your correct mea- sure of shortening. Orange Whip Whip one cup of cream and fold In- to It one cup of peanut brittle, rolled fine, and one cup of orange pieces. Serve very cold. Thin combination la delicious if left in the electric refriger- ator until half frozen. Peanut Cream Dressing Combine one cup peanut .butter, two teaspoons of salt, two tablespoons of sugar and one cup of evaporated milk. Mix until smooth; then add one cup of orange juice and beat again. This U a delicious dressing for head let- tuce, cabbage or fruit salad. Carrot Pudding I'.i cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda, 1 cup grated carrots (raw), 1 cup rais- ins, 1 cup currants, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup grated potatoes (raw), 1 cup fine chopped suet, 1 teaspoon Golden syrup, 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Mix all the Ingredient* in the order given, after adding the soda to the flour, and steam In an oiled mould for three hours. A Kitchen Hymn This prayer hymn was written by a nineteen year old servant girl: "Lord of pots and pang and things; since I've no time to be A saint by doing lovely things, or watching late with Thee, Or dreaming In the dawnlight, or storming heaven's gates. Make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates." Canadian Immigration Immigration to Canada for the caleu dar year 1930 amounted to 104,306, compared with 164,992 for the previous twelve mouths, according to a state- ment issued by the Department of Im- migration. Immigration for the last six mouths of 1930 amounted to 33,011 compared with 63,633 iu the same period in 1929. The greatest reduc- tions date from August last. The ef- fect of the regulations passed in Aug ust last restricting Immigration have only recently made themselves felt In full measure as commitments made previously were allowed to come for ward. Canadians who had gone to the United States to reside and who re- turned to Canada In 1930 declaring their intention of remaining perman- ently in this country numbered 31,608 compared with 30,479 in 1929. Most of the Canadian people will agree to the policy ot curtailing immigration for the present and until the ranks of our unemployed are thinned down again to normal. But we all know that our vast, rich, unbroken regions keep call- ing for settlers, and we are sure that the Immlgratiou tide will turn ere long and break upon our shores with increasing strength.

The basement floor when neglected too long becomes a dangerous hazard, examine yours for bad cracks or dis- integration. These may - need only temporal? repairs or an entire top- ping over will be accessary in some cases. There is frequently a good day's work in the basement, simply n clearing It of woruout or discard- ed things which will never serve any practical purpose again. Once his is done you will flnd you have acquired much valuable space, and all sorts of plans may occur to you lor utilizing It. Mew storage room, larger bins, partitions for more orderly arrangement, shelving for the preserve corner all these will put ;he basement Into good working order again. But first of all brighten the place with a fresh coat of kalso- mine or whitewash. Or if the house needs another room consider what wonders new wall and ceiling cover- ings and a finished floor will work and how very possible It Is now to have an extra game or gym room for the children or a den for father or a new work place for yourself that will release space up stair* for other uses. With the rest of the house getting ita fu! share of attention, do not overlook the kitchen. Take this opportunity to bring all the working heights Into harmony, at a level that is suited to your individual needs. Remember also that the. kitchen Is one of the rooms which requires special ventilation. An electrically operated fan built in an outside wall or In the window (tself will take care of this for you. On the subject of plumbing re- pairs or improvements every house- holder may build his own inventory from a mental list of things which he has always kept in mind to do "some day." It may involve mere- ly those minor details, such as a leaky faucet that needs washers, tightening, or new parts; a drain Toronto. Combining the predic^ tions of other experts of world econo- mics with his own observations and knowledge, Beaudry Leman, B.S.Sc., C.E., President of the Canadian Bank- ers' Association and General Manager and director of the Banque Canadienne National**, outlined to Canadian i lib members recently the widening of in- dustrial economy from national to in- ternational bounds. "The lives of nations to-day are no In many of the repairs which wll suggest themselves, such as paint refrigerator; new water heating said the Bankers' Association Presi- dent, adopting to the occasion a writ- ing of Sir George Paisu, "and that they are dependent as never before on world eeouor-y. Nations cannot pros- per, indeed they cannot maintain their present standards, wihho-ut interna- tional credit and internatioual trade. Thus policies which destroy confi- dence, injure credit and cause trade depression ara contrary to the best interests of the nations guilty of sucb action. "Toe present situation cannot be rectified until each nation takes car.*- ful stock, not only of Its own position, but also of the position of order na- tions, in order to bring it* national policy Into harmony with a policy - .signed to restore the entire world to prosperity, and to ensure that great future growth of prosperity which scientific invention has rendered feas- ible. iVhi-ii t'ae nations are prepared to readjust their policies and to creat* confidence by acting reasonably, both, nationally and internationally, mental' conditions will again become favorable, confidence will revive, credit will flow freely and trade will expand more rapidly than it has ever been permit- tad to expand in the past." Proceeding with hla own commons upon thin new thought of world econo- mics, Mr. Leman said: "If to t'.iesa opinions and suggestion^ are added accomplishments and realization.! such as the League of Nations, the Permanent Board of Arbitration, tne pipe to replace the pan beneath t , Permaneut Board ot IlUernaUoniU Jua .

Give the house the repairs It needs now and give employment to those who need It. There never was a more favorable time to take an inventory of renova- tions the home needs, with plenty of labor available, and supplies and ing and decorating rooms, you will be wise to employ skilled workmen; or botu material and expense are wasted. In many other renovations you will undertake, such as clearing out and whitewashing the cellar, un- skilled help can accomplish a great deal, and lu either case you will be helping along the situation if you see that the man who needs the job gets it. For your own protection, It U advisable to get an estimate in writing before starting the more important pieces of work, so that your budget will not be completely upset by a single item. Whether we are small or large householders, whether our budget is large or small, it is fairly certain to include shelving -in closets, in the bathroom or in the kitchen; for however large we build at the liegin- equipment at prices advantageous to ning. wa are the buyer.

The things to be undertaken first of all will be those most important "stitch-in-time" things which will Incur larger expenses It postponed until later when they have caused more serious damage. There can be no more convincing argument for repairing uow than In the fact that if you take caro o( the small repairs, you may never need to face the un- dertaking: and cost of great ones. In on the job, have him construct for you a new telephone cabinet, built-in book shelves or cabinets for general utility. These all help to improve our homes In comfort and convenience. Repairs to structural defects deserve more serious consideration. Let us begin with, tha basement and work up through the house, noting as we go the many ways in which we can keep the house iu good repair by attending to specific iterna. this category come the leaks, from Examine, first ot all, the foundation leaky roofs to leaky radiator valves, j walls for large cracks or broken equipment or modern piping to re- place what Is worn out. Or It may involve new and fine fixtures to re- place a type that has held over from an out-moded day. And an additional bathroom or shower proves a convenience in some homes, and you may flnd room for one by transform- ing a little used closet, or even by lice, tha Bank for International Settl- menU, and the International Chamber of Commerce, is there not sufficient in- dication of a process which is ?radnal- lf taking form and wliirh la tending , to bring about an international emu- real s locating ment. it iu the Whatever renovated base- your plumbing I unay?

A great many improvements in the lighting equipment of the home can be made.
