A baby never laughs, an aged per-
son very rarely. But the smile, like
the pleasures of the palate, according
to Brillat Savarin, belongs to all the
seven ages OF man and with normal
persons 1t is universal. Imagine a new
er-smiling human being, and you must
assume that he Is either physical or
q psychological eccentrlcity, or both.
The Greenpoint youngster who shot
himself in Central park, Manhattan.
and died q few hours later, is said to
have been known among his school
mates as "the boy that never smiled"
He could work. he could study. he
could think. He appears not to have
been without affection. Yet suicide at
the age OF sixteen was the climax OF
sort OF abnormality which science new
or had an opportunity to analyze or
classify. The child that never smiles
demands scientific attention. In this
rather jumbled up universe occasions
for smiling are everywhere. Breaks
in symmetry are everywhere. An eye
that does not see, a mind that does moi
comprehend such breaks, Is unusua

THE CHILD BEHIND.

Look about as you walk along the
street and see how many children you
can count chasing after or riding on
the ends OF wagons in the streets. The
odds are heavy that you cannot fall TO
see such sight every time you take
the trouble to look. Everybody sees
the sight and nobody does anything
about 1t. Would you believe that 1t Ii
Just as much. against the law for
child to catch behind as 1t is for
stranger from out of town to stop his
vehicle within ten feet Of a hydrant.
Let the stranger try 1t on and he soon
finds himself In the clutches OF the
law, says the Hartford Courant But
let a child try 1t on and there he is.
Now the inevitable result OF this utter
neglect to enforce a law that makes
for safety is simply to invite peril.
Pretty soon. possibly on another page
of the paper in which this article ap-
pears, there will be an account OF an
other automobile accident. Some ex-
citable observers will likely call 1t an
automobile outrage. 1t will be the
story OF how an automobile ran over
a child that had been playing eaten
behind and had jumped off the vehicle
1t was stealing a ride on. The one
way to prevent these killings for
which drivers are not to blame ID to
impress on the children and their par
ents that this business, which the law
forbids. must stop.

The old Roman pronunciation of Cicero
was undoubtedly "Kikero," phonetically
spelt. In the same way Caesar was pro-
nounced like "Kaisar," the title of the Ger
man emperor. Nowadays, however, we use
soft in the pronunciation of the above
Latin words unless we are reading Latin.
In the former case we Anglicize them.
Both ways are considered correct, as the
English and Roman pronunciations are
used indiscriminately in reading Latin
texts; the latter, however, prcdominates in
such readings.

that objects distinguished for their grace

the head of grace and gentleness, and il
