OF which he was blissfully unconscious.
He is really thankful TO know it and he
bends himself 10 The task of correcting II.
But the manner OF telling OF faults
counts much. And here. if one could
just get the spirit of Let's play" ii
would be a good thing.
Lets play" when one was child,
was always serious business. One was
terribly in earnest about being pirate,
or an Indian, or a bear. But one was
happy and jolly about II, and kindly TO
the pirates or Indians. or bears, OF his
band or tribe or family. so TO speak.
And that really shou4u be the spirit of
this home criticism. IL should not be
spit out IN anger. or given with acrimony.
but with gentleness. love. even jollity.
The single purpose Of helping the other
toward greater perfection should be so
apparent that no offense could be taken.
A little home drama Of self-improve-
ment might be played In many a family
to the enjoyment and benefit Of every
member. II could be a real jolly per-
Torrance, and yet at its conclusion the
members OF the family be quite different
persons so far as speech. manners. and
dress were concerned from what they
were before the curtain went up. And
such method would leave no hurt Feelings
in its wake.

When We We're children. It used TO be:
Let's play Indian" Lets play bear"
Let's play pirates. Lets play was a
most familiar and enticing expression.
But when we grow up. Lets play"
becomes a part OF the dead languages.
And yet If some of the things we under
take 10 do as grownups could be under
taken in the Let's play spirit what
better results We would accomplish and
how much more enjoyment we would
get out of the undertaking!
Many a married couple. for instance,
could say Lets play home drama OF
self-improvement" 1t would accomplish
the same purpose as nagging, or scolding,
or INVITING about unpleasant habits. But
how much pleasanter il would be!
After marriage many a husband and
wife starts In TO reform the other. In
fact, family life generally Is looked upon
by some as eonfering the privilege of
telling others OF the family their faults
Things are said 10 each other by husbands
and wives, brothers and sisters, that
would never be said even 10 the most
intimate friends. Relationship TO some
seems to confer the right TO eritleise.
Criticism is helpful. There's no doubt
about that. Many person has been told
by some member OF the family OF fault

If the board of supervisors will use
good judgment in the Strengthening OF
the river bed above the dam, they can
lay out a channel from which in time
a beautiful drive for the city can be
provided which would eventually be in
corporated in the public park system.
Councilman Clark's dream OF a drive
from the water works along the river
bank to the soldiers home is well worth
encouraging as 1t offers a beautiful
boulevard and park extension. Suppose
the dirt excavated could be graded back
for 100 feet and the park between two
roadways set out to trees and grass
seed sown. In six years time the trees
would furnish shade for a pretty park
on the river front and the roadway
would be alive with passing vehicles
In fact, Marsha town could well afford
to raise $4,000 by public Subscription

dered deposited in a bank to be return
ed to the consumers should the state
courts be affirmed Now the com pany
is trying to get around the rate by
what Cedar Rapids people believe to be
a mock sale. A syndicate claims to
have purchased the gas company and
asks a new franchise but wants the
rate held up to 500, coming down in
time only to 95 cents. AT the same time
another syndicate is asking for a fran
chise fog a gas plant and offers TO con-
cede not only the 80 cent rate but to
pay into the city treasury Of Cedar
Rapids each month 800 with which the
city can employ its own expert to test
gas meters and the quality of gas fur
niShed. The latter company may build
new plant or it may buy the old.
1t is here ventured that no city coun-
Gil in Cedar Rapids will freeze out the
low rate syndicate with a bond re-
Quirement SO drawn as to cause for
fixture in case of delay by injunction
suits. 1t is safe to predict that one
or both of the companies will get
franchises in Cedar Rapids but that
both will be at the 90 cent rate for gas.
The game of a mock sale and appeal
for new franchise at higher rate
than the courts hold as fair is not a
new one in the gas business.
