PROOF THAT COURTESY PAYS

In the American Magazine a writer

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
81 soon learned that the average
woman, with the burden of housekeep-
ing on her shoulders. is the most ir-
ritable and irresponsible creature
alive. A delivery ten minutes late
can bring on your head u mighty
wrath, a wilted lettuce can lose you
your best customer. l had to stand
between these women and overwOrked
delivery boys, careless shipping clerks
and sometimes inferior goods. One
intance: A woman was to give din
ner party. Her groceries arriving al
most at the last minute with the fish
order filled incorrectly. My dinner Is
spoiled she cried distractedly over
the telephone. L never will spend an
other cent with you rs long as l live
Woman is built for fOrtitude. NOT re-
sponsibility. l shOuldered the respOn-
sibility and persuaded her to bear with
me until l could rectify the mistake.

ton on my part would have spoiled
everything. AS it was. fifteen minutes

the fish al her door; we had kept

CHILDISH FEARS VERY REAL
Parents Are Apt to Underestimate
Their Effect on the Minds of
the Little Ones.

The mother knew that her son had
been afraid OF the dark for years, but
had thought him long cured of it be-
cause he always went up to bed at
night alone with his younger brother
SO she refused to 90 upstairs with him
or let his brother go, as Peter was
amusing the company at that moment
Jack went out and was gone such
long time that finally the mother was
alarmed and went to see what was the
matter. She found the boy crouched
half way up the stairs. slowly creep
ing up, but plainly terrified. When
he saw her the lad started to cry con-
vulsively and said that something was
hiding at the top of the stairs. ending
his statement with. but you told me
to go, mother, so l was going" 1t was
the truest form of bravery, because he
was slowly going right on up, although
almost scared to death.
Anything that might produce fear in
the child's mind should be ?voided like
the plague, for it is Just as disss.
trous to the child's mentality as soma
dread disease might be to his body
Take. for instance, the practice m

ents Of throwing a child in the water

method may succeed in certain cases
but its usual effect Is to teach the
child not only l. dread and fea, the

confidence and trust in his parents

A proclamation is about to be issued
in Great Britain prohibiting the ex-
pcrtation to Sweden Of all coumodi-
ties except on presentation to the Gus

law of 1916 makes it illegal for a
Swedish importer to furnish an ex-
porter in the United Kingdom with In.
formation as to the disposal OF goods.
The exporter, therefore, is often
obliged to admit he is unable to fur
nish evidence that he has taken rea-
sonable precautions to insure that the
