MAKE CHILDREN THRIFTY
SPENDERS NOT MASTERS
From the Pictorial n

From the Pictorial Review.
Every child ought to have an allow

still in him or her the value of money
and it's practical purchasing power.
The following Is quoted from the edi-
tortal in April Pictorial Review:
Are you teaching your children nov
to spend money"
This Is Il plea for an allowance for
every child i'm every home of whatever
means. The father who can hand only
a penny to his child On pay day should
max the gift regularly and teach the
child to make hat penny mean some-
thing in return. The parents who give
a daughter 8 cents a Sunday for the
collection plate. a treat at the confec-
tionery store each pay day mi on each
Saturday. a happy afternoon at the
moving picture theater should hand the
amount of these three regular expendi-
lures to the child on a given day in the
form of an allowance to he accounted
for. The nickel must be saved for
church: but II the child chooses to
spend the balance for "A toy or a treat
to her companions. then there can he
no visit to the soda fountain with
mother n no afternoon at the picture
theater. Just the moment the child
realizes that money spent impulsively
on something to be regretted later
means the curtailment of Il regular
pleasure. she will have had her first
lesson in the elasticity of "a fixed in
come. the true money value.
The regularity OF an allowance has
a steadying effect on n child's nature.
The boy who is given Il nickel for run

APPRECIATION BESTOWED
ON NEWSPAPER REPORTER

Albert G.. Richie, In the baltimore Sun.
The reporting of 40 important and
complex y thing az n change IN the
federal administration, which has just
taken place. liz a tas go large n dtf-
fcult and vet so we'll executed that a
word of appreciation of that body u
mel to whom the credit liz due may
not he amiSs.
II is upon the reporter that the sue
cess of every newspaper necessarily
rests. Not only IL the correctness of
every news item dependent upon hiN
accuracy and intelligence. but every
editorial IN every policy which
his paper adopts and every fight 1t
makes is based upon the news an the
man on the outside reports II. If he
reports IL incorrectly or inadequate
ly. his paper fails in it's function Of
giving To the world the news Of the
day. the editorials are valueless or mis-
leading because not based upon facts,
and a journalistic policy or stand may
be. utterly wrong or unjust.
These results follow In the steps of
the epnrter who is inefficient only.
The situation would he much worse
We're the reporter to allow friendship
Or prejudice to- color his news. 1t may
often he difficult for even the thorough
~ honest reporter to guard absolutely
against this. but III he does not guard
against it. then either Injustice or un-
deserved commentator Is almost sure
to result I" some individual or cause.
Here. then. Is n class of men upon
whom a really tremendous responsi-
bility rests. 1t Ia a responsibility upon
the proper and honest exercise Of which
depends not only the life of the pa
per. but also the just deserts of men
and their standing before the world.
And il IL a responsibility which those
who undertake it assume quietly and
with no hope of public credit for their
work. because their personality In
merged into that OF the paper they
serve.
The reporters task must be dis
charged with little chance for review
Or correction. II must be one right
the first time. He must see correctly
the issue of A lawsuit through the tech
nitAlities of the trial. He must think
clearly through the excitement of po-
litical or Legislative debate. He must
extract the thing Of human interest
from technical discussions by learned
men. Above everything else he must
be wherever the event Of public inter
est is happening. and he must be there
OH time to see it happen.
When we consider the tremendous
pressure d which the news must
be gathered. and the quickness. hon-
esty and intelligence which this re-
gutres: the versatility which must b..
shown in reporting events ranging
from a small personal item to some
episode NJ world wide Importance: the
insight which ia needed to go straight
to the heart Of whatever ia Happenings
and see correctly the real point In
volved--when we consider ali this we
cease to wonder that Newspaper mis-
takes are sometimes JADE, and mar
vel instead that they are made SO sell
dom. And we h0ve q WhOlesOme re-
Spect and admiration for the reDOrfer
whose efficiency makes this possible.

Mister Man. have your aver thought
when you kick on a stew for dinner,

a taste for porterhouse steak, that your
wife would be only too glad to give you
thea steak Otis UGH easier to pre-
pare, and she likes steak. tool. but she
knows YOU would kick just as hard over
the bill for the. steak as you do over the
brown stew.
The c%roauettes or the stew she can
afford. She is doing the best h a
as the family economist. Therefore. it
is up to you to be satisfied and happy,
for h gives you is AS nutritious
as the steak. and you ought to praise
her for he extra work and thought she
has put into the neal.
There is nothing more d~iscouraging
to those who are limited in their in
come than to have four or six at a
table, each with different likes or dis
likes.
She Tries to Please.
Does it ever occur to those who come
home from business in the evening
that wife or mother has tried to do
her very best to please each member
of the family:
1t Ia impossible to- have a different
soup, meat. vegetable and dessert for
each one. but she Is sure to have
something that Is fond of.
Seldom does she think of herself
always of her family, and nothing is
too much trouble for those whom she
caters to.
But sometimes you forget to give
her the praise she deserves, ooks for;
yes, needs. 1t means so much to- have
one say. This soup is good" or the
meat course. vegetable or dessert. One
always feels AS Ii she wanted to try
twice rs hard the next time.
When things have been appreciated
no matter how old we grow. the word
of praise is always welcome and cheer
ing.
My personal experience of many
years catering to others is that the
one who gives the word of praise is
the one who is remembered most often:
