.PRUDTSH PARENTS
GIVEN POINTERS
DR.. Dixon Says That They
Should Take Children Into
Their Confidence

Parents who have not the nerve to
tell their children what they ought to
know are raped by Commissioner Of
Health Samuel G. Dixon in a health
talk. The commissioner says that
common sense should rule. This is
the way he puts it:
There are certain stages in the
life of every boy and girl when the
confidence and advice of the father
and mother may prove of tnestimable
value. If parents have not cultivated
n relationship with their children
which will enable them to discuss the
problems which budding manhood and
womanhood bring, they have fallen
far short of doing their duty.
THE evasions. lies and prudish atti-
tude of parents has been responsible
for mistakes which have resulted in
agony of soul AMI body for innumer
able growing boys and girls
There is no period in life when
children are more sensitive to in
fluences for good and evil than in this
formative stage. 1t is not fair to eX.
pect your children to come to you with
those things which they are perfectly
well aware you have avoided discuss
ing in every possible way. They will
accept and seek information from
other sources if they cannot get It
from Inelf parents, inc cnanCeS are
hundred to one that what they get will
be misinformation and the injurious
lies of companions with a distorted
moral code.
IF you do not feel competent to
discuss these matters with your chill
dren in a manner which will give them
n thorough and full understanding of
the responsibilities and functions of
manhood and womanhood, it is better
to admit it an1 arrange to have your
family physician talk the matter over
with them fully.
This is far from being as salts
factory, however. as being yourself
fully informed regarding the problems
which Your children have to solve and
encouraging them to come to you with
the doubts and questions which they
are certain to have.
Ignorance by no means implies in
nocence. Confidence and earnest high
mindedness alone will beget their like
from your children. If you never dis
cuss the problems of sex which every
healthy boy and girl has forced upon
them by nature, you may be certain
they will return the reticence in kind.
They are certain TO seek information
somewhere. If you do not give them
the truth frankly and willingly they
will accept what they can pick up from
questionable sources"

Bigger Gains in Two Days
Than in Preceding IL Mos.
5r Associated Press

London, Sept. 27, 1920 p. m. - In
two days the French and British have
gained greater results than in the pre-
ceding IL months of fighting since the
battle of the Marine. With upwards
of 10000 German prisoners in their
hands and something like so guns.
without counting machine guns and
with a formidable breach in the Ger
man line, the allies apparently have
their long expected offensive move
ment well under way. The advance
has been general and It's effect is en-
phasized by the fact that on the east
ern front a substantial gain for the
Russians is recorded.
Petrograd states that the army of
General Ivanoff has won a striking
victory over the Germans and Aus
TRANS in the southeastern theater.
where 1000 prisoners are said to have
been taken.
The Belgians also are taking a
prominent part in the new offensive
movement. Their c1icial announce
ment reports the capture of a German
post on the right bank of the User.
with the consequent evacuation by the
Germans of adjoining trenches.
1t is believed in London that the
new move in the, west will again bring
the Germans face to face with the
necessity of making a choice between
the two fronts, as was the case earlier
in the war. Military writer's point out
that the Russians are now holding the
Austrians and Germans on a front of
700 miles, while the presence of nearly
100000 strongly entrenched Ger
mans has failed to prevent an advance
in France. This, they say, must In
crease the perplexities of the German
general staff and react immediately on
any plans which may have been form
ed for new attacks in the south and
southeast district
Between the Meuse and the MoselIe
and in the Lorraine district there has
been severe artillry fighting on both
sides.

for the moment suspended all opera
tions in this district"
