There is less disposition to defer or

Certain Habits Unconsciousiy Formed aud

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary TO break lifelong habit would,
il it could be transformed, lift weight
of many tons.
Ii sometimes requires higher degree
of heroism to break the chains of per-
nicious habit than TO lead forlorn
hope in bloody battle. A lady writes
from an Indiana town:

Thoughtfulness for others and un-

all of us try to get both. And there

large melting eyes out Of pair of
optics that are good for little except
seeing. But If you cultivate an inter-

The Rirht. of Children.

I'VE must interpret the laws for the
protection of the young against cruelty,
oppression and injustice" says Henry
van Dyke in Everybodys Magazine,
"as evidence of the worlds growing
sense of justice. Beginning with the
Factory Act of 1883 and the Mines and
Collieries Act Of 1912 in England. there
has been q steadily increasing effort to
diminish and prevent the degradation
of the race by the enslavement of child
hood to labor. Even the parents right
of control, says the modern world,
must be held in harmony with the
child's right to life and growth, mental,
moral and physical. The law itself
must recognize the injustice Of dealing
with young delinQuents as if they were
old and hardened criminals. No more

Springfield. ILL.,. June 27.-After a
protracted meeting with the executive
board of the United Mineworkers
President Mitchell of the national or
ganization left last night for Chicago.
He said he was without information as
to what the operators had done at the
executive committee meeting In Chica-
go, and for that reason could not dis
cuss the situation. The sentiment here
does not favor a compromise on the
proposed basis of a change to the
screened coal scale and the officers de-
clare that no such proposition will be
accepted. There is a strong feeling to
the effect that the threatened suspen-
sion can not be averted and that mines
will close as soon as the new law goes
into effect.
