RULE8 OF THE ROAD
In his thoughts for the Education
and Training of bis son, G. A. Stud-
dert Kennedy has given us seven
rules that every father in the land
should cut out and paste on his
shaving mirror, where he can read
them every morning. Sanely and
sensibly, they cover the essentials
of character formation:
1. "Make him a sportsman. En-
courage him to play games and al-
ways to play the game.
I 2. "Teach him to despise coward-
jice and never to be afraid of any-
love leans Christ as the pattern
God Man. Teach him that and
leave him free. Don't force his re-
ligion in any way, especially if he
has brains. There are bound to be
in these coming years very rapid
developments in Christian thought;
let him go his way, and do not be
pained or shocked so long as he
keeps his love of Jesus Christ. Only
teach him Sonstantly that \h gentle-
man must give, not get; must serve
and not be served.’'—Ladies’ Home
Journal.

In a recent survey of the educa-
tional qualifications of negro pris-
oners in 33 North Carolina prison
camps, it was found that hot one of
the negro inmates had the equiva-
lent of a high school education, and
only three were of high school
grade. Thirty-five per cent were
totally illiterate and 83 per cent
were unable to read a newspaper.
The relation between illiteracy
and crime is strikingly brought out
in that report. White prisoners per-
haps would average better educa-
tionally in the same institutions, but
doubtless the majority of that class
also would be found to have had
little schooling.
When the cost of education seems
high, it is well enough to remember
that the cost of neglecting to edu-
cate is much higher. North Caro-
lina evidently is finding that it pays

for her prisons are virtually free of
negroes who have been as far in
school as the high school grades.

The Pilot is in receipt of a copy
f "Texas in 1848,” through the cour-
tesy of R. P. Bracht. It is a trans-
lation of “Texas Im Jahre 1848,”
published in German by Victor
Bracht, father of R. P. Bracht. The
book was written for the purpose
of furnishing information to German
immigrants as to conditions in this
country, but it contains much valu-
able information and statistics not
available from any other source at
present. R. P. Bracht decided to
have the book translated and pub-
lished in English.
Mr. Bracht writes us that he will
be in Rockport within the next few
days with books to supply advance
subscribers.—Rockport Pilot.

cocktail than one of shrimp. If
the fresh ones are obtainable, they
are far finer than the canned,
though the canned ones are good,
prepare a snappy sauce of tomato
catsup, chili sauce, and a few drops
of tabasco and a nip of horserad-
ish. Serve the shrimps in a cock-
tall glass, sauce, glass and shrimps
all chilled.
Today one may purchase for a
few cents any number of kinds of
good soup. If one bos a bit of
stock which has been made of left-
over meat, bones and gravy, add It
to a con or two of the commercial
stock, with such seasoning as one
likes and you will have a different
soup. A hot dish for the first
course or following the cocktail,
seems to be universally liked, for
tlie millions of cans of soup sold
daily in the markets are proof that
it is popular.
One may, with the addition of
minced cooked vegetables, convert
a canned soup into one that is in-
dividual. A little rice, a little as-
paragus, a few spoonfuls of peas
added to bouillon or clear soups
add to their attractiveness as well
as flavor and nutriment.
Tomato soup is one of the canned
soups that has a large repertory
as- a food. It may be converted
into a delicious meat or fish sauce
In a turn of the hand. Poured over
a meat loaf it transforms it Into a
delightful surprise. It may be add-
ed to the meat when making a loai
with the egg or cereal used as a
binding omitted. Part of tbe soup
is saved to serve as a sauce with
the meat. More cayenne, a bit ol
onion Juice, or garlic, a grating of
nutmeg or of lemon peel, all add
variety to the tomato sance.
One of the most delightful of
rarebits Is made with tomato and
cheese. Use tbe canned toiqato
soup instead of the fruit, adding a
beaten egg just before It Is poured
over the toasted bread or crackers,
