in bringing up the children, you must
have some good stories ready about
George Washington
That was simple request, and
looked innocent enough. But when .lr.
8eldcn scratched his head, trying to re
call suitable stories for his son, he
found that in spite OF his wide reading
and good education" he could bring
forth nothing but the Ratchet and
cherry tree legend, and Alvin was real
~ TOO old for that. II was embarrsss-
ing TO report to the mother, for she
had learned to depend upon him for
lust the kind Of help that was now
reeded But the facts had TO be faced;
there we're no suitable George Wash
ington stories in Mr.. Belden's reposl-
tory. and he even doubted whether
there were any TO be had, for he did
rot remember ever having heard OF any.
To Mr.. Belden il was a startling dis
covery that he knew so little Of the
Father Of His Country that could be
used 20 arouse the admiration and TO
stir the moral feelings Of mis- son. He
could tell about Washington the sur
veyor. and about crossing the DELI
ware aud various military campaigns.

And then Mrs. Fols went on 10 show
very conclusively how, if there were
only taxation on land values, the pres
cnt unemployment problem would not
exist and how there would be plenty IN
the world for every one.
Mrs Fels Argues Single Tax.
Did you know that only one-tenth
Of the usabc land IN this country IL
being used" she asked. Eyes, that is
true. Nine-tcnths OF the land is being
held idle for speculation. IF there were a
tax or land values all Of this would be

not afford 20 hoard il. And that means
that all the people without work could

more food produced. and the prices
would fall so low that every one could

and less rent The whole country
would be 50 much more happier. just

New York arc on the verge Of starys-
ticr, And it is all so unnecessary in 4
world where God has provided plenty
for all
Il was because Joseph Fcls believed
tina. every man should have an oppor-
tunitv TO work that he finally evolved
his doctrine Of single tax. He started
first in Philadelphia by encouraging
vacant lot gardening. Then when h
went TO England each summer he en-
large this idea by starting me farm
colony scheme. He bought up large
tracts Of unused land in England and
turned it over to the unemployed.
Later the English government took
over the farm colony idea, and that was
when MIR. FEELS reached his decision re-
rarding the taxing OF land values.

90 COMPLETE was the union that
y existed between Joseph Fels and
his wife that even death could
not dissolve it. The spirit Of the great
philanthropis, and single tax advocate
Is being expressed each day in the
work Of Mary FEELS. who IS spending
her Ike carrying out the ideals Of her
husband. She has taken FOR her guld-
ing motto this declaration Of Joseph
Fels: MY only use for money ls to
wine out the damnsblc conditions that
make If possible for small number
Of people 20 make money n the eT-
nense Of the many. What the poor
need most is not aims, but a change IN
conditions which will make aimsgivlng
unnecessary"
Joseph Fels believed that the way to
bring the world back 20 Gods design
WAS 70 establish single taxation. and
that IS why Mrs. Mary FEELS has de
t.rmined TO devote the rest Of her
years 10 spreading the gospel Of single
tax. A tiny gray figure she is, with an
sppealing look in hcr brown eyes and
u;stful smile. At the home Of her
friend. Miss Gertrude Huebsch, 7sl
Lexington Avenue, she sat and talked
single tax in her quiet. pleasing man
ner and so persuasively that one felt
the only thing needed TO make the
whole world perfect was the single tax.

he allowed TO own control over an!
norton Of it. The government snouid
control il for the people. 1t IS the
community that makes land valuable
and the government should make every
person pay back to the community the
advantages they enjoy by living IN the
community.
"You see" she looked up with an
earnest appeal in her eyes. Our pres
ent system of taxation encourages
boarding land, or keeping land out OF
use until it reaches certain value
and il puts premium on mans labor.
Every time man does anything TO I'M
nrove the land he is taxed for IT, And
then. TOO. our system Of taxing what

Washington stories because we all lost
our interest in him long ago.
Children Retain Their Interest in Lin
coin.

This situation is in marked contrast
with the general interest in the eX-
periences and doings OF Abraham Lin
coin. Aside from the great differences
that undoubtedly exist between the two
characters, one Of the important rea-
sons for the greater interest we have
in Lincoln is TO be found in the fact
that children do not become acquainted
with the War President until they are
about eight years old, and :hen it il
possible TO relate the kind of stories
that will meet with a growing appre-
citation.
The younger children can under
stand the point OF the story of how
Honest Abe walked two miles TO return
the penny omitted from the poor
y,oman's change. They can oil symoa-
,hize with Kind Abe getting of the

Yet the parents contribute so much TO
the developing mind and character that
we must not Justify negligence BY the
hone that children will outgrow their
childish views.
Not only does the home furnish the
virtues that the young child IS TO
adopt: it gives color TO all Of tn
cbild's values. 1t is from his parents
that he learns tolerance or intolerance
as an attitude toward strange peoples
and strange manners or ideas. 1t Is
from them that he learns to admire
tenacity Of purpose or physical en-
6ursnee- On the other hand, It Is IN
the home also that the child first inds
his hero as avenger, or acquires an
exaggerated appreciation Of the virtue
OF having.

embassy was informed today that the
detention at Aberdeen OF Adolph
Dietzel, who says he Is an American
citizen was due to the fact that he
had travelled through portions of
North Scotland, within a restricted
area, without having registered with
the police. Dietzel, who bears an
American passport, said he was born
in Chicago and lived in New York.
Dietzers identity is questioned by

Renewed interest in Mardi Gras

the result of activities of the Carnt-

others who are working for big eel
ebration on the approaching visit to
this city of King Priscus, and to judge
from the manner in which plans are
maturing the big event will be one
long to be remembered in Pensacola.
The suggestion box of the Phunmak
ers, wherein citizens can make sugges-
tions on the float subject, has struck
a popular note and many have taken
advantage of the offer to submit their
ideas. From among these the society
expects to secure some fine SUBJECTS
which will be worked out in the com
ic floats.
One citizen has suggested that the
city commissioners expend a small
amount in employing two bands for
the two days of the celebration, one
to give a concert from 2 to 10 p. m. in
the parkway near the corner of Pala-
fox and Garden streets and the other
to give concert in the Plaza during
the same hours. Such concerts would
prove popular features if they could
