If so in what w.iy.' Tell all you know about it'.'" John N. Adee. "Why do vege- lablea and fruits ligure in decorations for Hallowe'en?" Elizabeth J.

Susan   J.    Williams.
Saturday of referred questions; "What is meant by standard time? When and where was it established?" Benjamin Park answered this ;it length and very cteiuiy. Standard time he said is governed by the sun. When it is in the meridian we call it noon. Geographers have divided the surface of the earth by meridians which on the equator are one degree apart and which converge to the poles. At the Washington confer¬ ence in November, 1883, time was de¬ clared ofHoialiy to Ue standard 'in those sections of the country which louiited frorn the meridians (iO de.y grees, 75, degrees, 90, degrees, 105 de¬ grees and 120 degrees. Our immediate neighborhood is on the 75th meridian and our time is known as eastern time. Suitable names describe the time on the other meridians, all of which call the point noon when the sun is over the meridian. This is the reason why we notice the change In time in going west.
"What in your judgment is untold Wealth?" Mrs. Ely Gave a wonderful answer to this question Among other things she said. If one's mental and physcial forces function are through life, that person has untold wealth, She referred to the previous meeting of the club when we listened to the IdealsVol each apeakjef on tlie topic asi-l( signed, and she felt at the time that any one who can reach and follow' these will have untold wealth. "Hasi machinery, added to knowledge?" Frank Carrell said in his opinion iinowledge is the child of thought not of machinery. One machine, the print¬ ing press,, disseminated knowledge, but knowledge is more of lifa.>.than of   machinery.
"How shall i make my home attrac¬ tive to my family,?" Mrs. Howard Hallowell said she referred that question' to the three who composed her family. One said, have good eats; another, have plenty of company. For iierself she had tried to sound out her day's with one word in mind, the word   "cheerfulness."
"Is a kindergarten a help or a hindrance to the school life of child¬ ren?" Mrs. Walter Paxson on said Emphatically," "a help." It gives the children habits of observation, we all know how they can go along and seen to see but little around them. This ability to see things is important They learn to use their fingers and all their bodies. They learn to respect the  rights  of  others.
