Daddy's Bedtime
e..
DIOI The Little Loaf
The Litde Loaf

~ NcB upon a time a long. long time ago In a German city there was
a great famine. The poor people could get little to eat. and there
was much suffering among them"
This is the way daddy began his bedtime story for Jack n
EveIyusfor the children had asked him or a story about Tong ago." q
an this city there lived q baker who al rich and q kind, good hearted
mar. IT greved him to see the poor people suffer, and he did what he could
to help them. He took a big basket and In 1t he placed twenty foaves OF bread.
Then he called together ne child from each o. twenty DOOR families and said
TO them;
" Each of you is to take n of these loaves OF bread and give 1t to your
parents. Return tomorrow and you shall have another loaf OF bread, and 1
shall give yeu each a loaf each day until better times come
"The children all but one gathered eagerly about the basket and quarreled,
fr each N wanted to have the biggest loaf At last they went away with
their Ioaves without even having thanked the good baker for his kindness I
said all but me. While the others were quarrenng little girl stood to
side waiting until they should get their loaves before she took hers The one
loaf that was left was the smallest of them all, but the little girl thanked the
baker and kissed his hand before she took the bread home to her parents
"The next day the children came again and quarreied about the loayes as
IN the day before Again the same little girl got the smallest loaf, and again
she thanked the baker. When she got home with the Loaf however there was
a great surprise for her and her poor mother, for when the loaf was cut open
out rolled twenty bright new, shiny pieces of silver money.
"Then the poor mother said:
:" Kun back TO the baker and tell him that there has been son mistake
Tell him I think the money got into the bread by accident, and / do not want
him to think that you Of any other Of the poor children would keep money
which did not belong ito her. But the baker said:
"No, my child, there has been no mistake. The first day when I gave out
the bread / noticed you standing modesty and quietly by while the other chill
den were dnpatng as to who should get the biggest loaf So l decided to
put The money into the smallest loaf I felt sure that you would get It, Run
home and tell your mother that ! ana glad to give the money to a woman
who has brought up her child Is well Is she has brought you up As for you,
1 hope that yn will always remain a peaceabie, grateful person"

Teaching the Baby to Walk

DON'T worry IL baby la not walking
when he Ia q year old, and IL you
are q young mother don't woErysevssy
older mother you know by asking heT
When should baby begin to walk r.
because the fact IS there is no fixed
date for the performances to begin.
Some babies are strong ON their
pins" at a year old. others not until
they are two perhaps or near II. but
this should not make a mother anxious
IL her baby Is otherwise healthy and
strong. 1t Ia, too, q mistaken notion
to think that baby should be taught
to walk. This is one of the things
thst DO not require your Interference.
Mother Nature manages IL, and when
the ligainents and bones are strong
enough o simply can't stop baby
from walking-not, at least, unless you
actively prevenS him from doing SO.
There is no objection to holding his lit
tie hands. guiding his steps or putting
him into leading strings to prevent
his failing against some dangerous OBJ
Ject. These are things that must be
lone to safeguard him. But TO put a
child upon his feet when he has no de-
sire to be ON them and to lead him
along against his will under the mis-
taken impression that you are doing a
good thing and strengthening his legs
and ankles is to run a very serious
risk Of making him bowlegged. The
body pressing against the bones which
are not yet properly hardened causes
them gradually to yield and bend out
ward. The result is q permanent de-
1ornaity which wen an operation Ia not
able TO remedy.
A heavy child should be kept off his
legs as much as possible during his
second year. when he Is toddling about
actively, for IL he Is allowed TO be on
them as much as he wants to he is very
likely to make himself bowiegged.

Beautiful Girls shun coIIsas.

Men for years have praised women
college students for their beauty and
have taken Ii for granted there is
something In the college atmosphere
that develops vivacity and attractive
ness. But a Wellesley college girl,
who has been graduated less than a
year. recently criticised the old belief.
Beautiful girls do not go to college,
she said, and for the reason they know
they have the best chances for mar.
/, rage.
s"They weigh the chances OF q happy
marriage against the possession of q
college degree. and the poor, stupid
| old degree. liz found wanting every
| time," she said. THE majority of
college girls are those who recognize
their lack of at~tractiveness and who
determine. with more than one sigh
for the lost Illusions. to 1t themselves
to earn their own livelihood. Perhaps
this may seem like a severe Indictment
of the girls who are so pretty and at
tractive to men, but / don't mean 1t
that way. / don't mean at all that In
tellectual aptitude is not to be found
among beautiful girls, but only that
they are more fortunate In being able
to choose what they will do.
Heaven knows if I had been a
'raving beauty / also should have
elected to take my chances on getting
married happily in preference to spend
ing four years Of mental grinding in
preparation for an after life Of equally
arduous work"

Yet Detroit does not now give free

of that kind that other cities have
offered. But its activities center in
single great business body, the
board of commence, which has 3,5oj
members, and which does things on

ed the fact that the most remarkable
increase tin population and industry
in many of the older cities has been
made by Detroit. This has not beea
due to any particular advantages Of
sources that Detroit possesses; for
many cities that have not grown half
so rapidly excel it in these partic
uIars. But its citizens have manifest
ed an enterprise and energy seldom
equaled. They are pioneers in the
building of automobiles. and Detroit
has become the center Of that indus
try in America and probably manu-
factures more automobiles than any
other community in the world. Look
through the pages Of any magazine
and you will see the large advertise
ments Of numerous firms that adver-
tfse Detroit at the same time they ad
vertise their automobiles or other
wares.
SuppIementing the enterprises es-
tabkshed by local capital aid local
invention, Detroit made an organized
campaign TO secure manufacturers
from other cities. How well it has
succeeded is shown by the st. LOUIS
Republic, which states that Detroit
in six years has taken from st. Louis
factories worth $50. 600. 900. The Re-
public sent a representative TO Detroit

found that Detroit had grown almost
as much in the past 10 years as r.
had in the entire period since the

this was largely due to the fact that
the people had nerve" enough to fol-
low the lead Of Henry Ford and other
inventors, and develop with their own
money the automobile industry whioh
soon attracted capital in immense
sums. He found that Detroit gave
