i courage his desire for girls society. and be sympathetic with his first love affair. Take him into your confidence, solicit his interest in the things you do, read with him, have him a real companion for father and sweetheart for mother. Tell him how you feel about big politi- cal, economic and social questions, ask his opinion about them. teach him the value of his right to vote and make him feel it will be proud hour when mother has the same privilege.
 Show him what southern chivalry is in it's truest sense, not just foolish sentiment tai slush. but that equal pay, equal op- portunity and equal rights for the sexes is chivalry.
 Don't embarrass him about money mat ters, let him have enough money to at least retain his self-respect with his com panions, and let him, through some small service, earn it.
 Some days will look black to him, too Even when his years are few he will have disappointments and heartaches, and then he's going to need a friend. If he is a poor little waif without a home or a mother the friend may have to be lit- tie yellow cur. If he Is the petted dar'dng of family, burdened with wealth and social obligations he may also need a friend. So it's up to father to be the first real friend and the one to select all the otnerS, mayDe without n1S knOWledge, and it's up to mother to be a friend, too, Haven't we always known "a boy S best friend is his mother" and didn't Kipling immortalze that thought in his little poem, Mother O Miner"

 MOTHER O MINE" By Kipling.
 If I were hanged on the highest hill

 Mother O mine, If I were damned of body and soul,

A plea for the education OF chill iren

The "principles which lie at the

causes of war. Too great power vest

sink into the hearts of fathers and
mothers and teachers is the need for
teaching children the Golden Rule as

Schof said:
with all the power of organized
motherhood these i'll considered efforts

agandists overturned US with It's po-

fciently clever TO suggest the neces-

foresaw woman's dcliyerance from

her kitchen utensils, another in her re-

the cross-section of Barrie's brainpan,
foresaw her deliverance in the shape
Of the delivery Of typewriter at her

Moreover, the typewriter, now that
it has become part Of the furniture,
