If a bottle and a cork together cost
$1.10, and the bottle cost a dollar moro
than the cork, how much did the cork
cost?'
Almost instantly one of the ladies was
ready with the answer.
why, the cork cost 5 cents and the bot
tie $l.05. That's too easy
The lady's husband, familiar through
years Of experience with her woeful lack

come to get that SO soon" ] s

WHY CHILDREN LIE
BY Cynthia Grey

Children are naturally honest. If they
lie they lie from fear or from example.
If they fear punishment they will lie,
hoping to escape detection and subsequent
humiliation by a whipping
ii severe punishment leads to lying. it
is worse than allowing child to grow up
disobedient, for lying is worse in the end
than any amount OF saucness or disobed
fence, and one lie leads to another always
A mother win surely drive a child to a
lie If she Furnishes him for telling her the
truth. He viii lie next time in self-de-
fence. She makes it possible for a child to
lie by forbdding to do something which
she is quite sure he viii do at the first OPP
portunity A child has keen sense OF
justice. If she tells him not to do some
thing, which he has frequently been per
mitted to do, he will rebel, then he will lie
because he has been taught that disobed
fence is a sin.
Children lie from example.

tains its original length after having once

pertinent among specialists and has been
proved, to their satisfaction. at least.
Their theory is that the close cropping of
the young heads leads to early bodness
by 'overstraining the hair-forming appa-
ratus. For a time the growth may be in
creased by cutting, but the forcing process
is weakening in the end.
Then. too, the hair often becomes corser,
less glossy and frequently changes color.
OF course, if the growth be stunted. it
