A l D1a On the Problem OF
AUD dtl0I SOn the Brooding Child

THE tragic passing Of one of the
chief of American novelists re-
Gently, sounded a warming to
the mother of the brooding child. The
mother OF the child who doesn't care TO
play with other children, who prefers
to be alone, is liable to think her off,
spring a genius. He may be criminal
in the making.
The normal child is a healthy young
animal whose natural element is noisy
action. If a child chooses rather the
society of his elders it may be sign,
not Of a precociOusness, but of a cat
like love for pampering. If he avoids
other children it maybe token that
the child is physically too weak to
cope with the healthy young savages
who dare him to come into the yard
to fight. or it may b. moral cowardice.
AS good a start as a lad of 9 can
have toward getting on in the world
is to measure his muscle against his
neightbor's in a fsticuffs. The sight
isn't a refined one, especially if he
comes home With an incarnadined nose
and unbecomingly enlarged eye. The
sight viii shock his mother and she
will doubtless shed tears, or waste
words about it, but she might better
save both. The boy is learning to
battle with the world, which is bigger
and .ruder than his boy opponent It
will give him the same challenge as
did the boy who made faces at him
over the fence, and bade him come out
and be licked" or lick the chal-
lenger and brooding isn't good prepa-
ration for this Inevitable, lifelong
battle. In the solitude Of too much re-
Election. the character grows suIlen, as
unused muscles grow. soft. Rubbing
shoulders and skinning fists is far bet

On Conditions OF
Women OF Japan
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

that the timekepers are instructed to
resort to trickery, so that their en-
ployes are made to work overtime with
out receiving any extra pay. In many
factories the girls are not even allow
ed time for meals, but are required to
eat while working. Almost all cotton
spinning factories keep their looms in
operation day and night Night work,
in which both male and female opera
tives are engaged together, is found
most demoralizing The methods Of
punishment are equally inhuman.
The lash is employed without stint,
sometimes girls are imprisoned in dark
rooms, or required to work with re-
duced rations; in many cases their
wages are so reduced by fines that
they leave the factory penniless at the
end OF their contract terms"
Surely Japan has q large problem TO
solve regarding their womeni The old
Shinto worship Of the country, the wor-
ship Of ancestors. though slowly dying
out still exists.
The emperor of Japan and all his
family are Shintoists naturally; for
Shinto is a creed which teaches that
the first mikado was born of the sun
and that he and all his descendants are
divine beings. But the emperor of ia
pan must refrain from worship of an
cestors, and instead Of bestowing so
much time, thought, energy and mon
ey on acts Of reverence to dead and
gone forbears, give more attention and
consideration to its progeny, its off
spring and its children.
So far the Christian religion has,
done little toward bringing about this
desired change. to Judge by the condi-
lions now existing among the poorer
classes of women and children in ia

STAYS BABY;
THEN KILLS SELF

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12-When Edgar
Willis, carpenter, arrived home from
work he discovered his wife, Mrs
Bena Willis, had strangled their 49,
months-old baby to death and then
committed suicide by drinking carbolic
acid, he seized the half-empty bottle
containing the acid and tried to end
his life. He was prevented from kill
ing himself by neighbors, who knock
ed the bottle from his hand.
Willis reached his home at $50 p. m.
Finding all the doors shut and locked,
he went away and did not return until
an hour later, when he found his wife
dead. Doctors say the woman had not
been dead more than an hour, and it
s thought he probably would have pre-
vented the tragedy had he entered his
home when he first reached it.

MRS. Il. MELGARD
CALLED BY DEATH

AS the result of the unepectet
death of Mrs H. Melgard this morn
ing, citizens of Moscow, without ex
ception are stricken with a feeling O
deep gloom. Although Mrs. MelgarC
had been i'll for short time, the com
munity failed to realize the serious
ness of her trouble, and her death was
altogether unlocked for.
Mrs Melgard, nee Winnie Alice
Kennedy, was born October 1, 1885 at
| Garfield, Wn., the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Kennedy. In that city
she grew to womanhood, and was be-
loved by those who knew her.
On July Is, 1906, she was married
to Hawkin Melgard, at Kennewick,
Wn., and after brief honeymoon,
came to Moscow, a beautiful and
charming bride, and from that time
has made her home in this city.
The mother of three small children,
Mrs. Melgard, was most devoted to her
home. Although a member of the
Order of the Eastern Star, her home
duties prevented her taking an active
part in the work of that order, as they
prevented other social activity, al
though Mrs. Melgard was a charming
hostess, and was ever a welcome guest |
in the social affairs she was able to |
attend. She was a devout member
Of the Christian church.
The deceased leaves husband, three
small daughters, Alice Gladys, aged A.
Helen Winfred, aged 3, and Thelma
Solverg, aged 16 months, together with
Ter sorrowing father, Thomas Ken
ledy, of Candy, Ore.
No arrangements have yet been made
or the funeral, but the announcement
will be made later

proven to be a highly profitable in
dnstry, are planning to increase the
size of their orchards and thousands
of young apple trees will be planted
next spring.
Charles Mccain, who has one of the
best orchards in that district, is plan

Although 1911 was regarded a poor
season for apple throughout the
Northwest, the country tributary to

crop than any section of the Inland
