Uncle Gideon sat near by, swinging
backward and forward in a rocking

TALKS ON THRIFT
SHE DIDN'T RAISE HER
L a

BOY To BE A LOAtER
One of the most important lessons
that child can learn is that money
is the representative of labor; re-
ward for services rendered; compen-
sation for doing something and not
a gift to be had for the asking. The
penny that is earned has a vastly
different aspect from the one that is
solicited. When the child grows up
he will find that the world will not
hand out money for the asking, but
only in return for value. The grow
ing boy or girl can have no better
lesson than to be compelled to return
something for their spending money.
Even though the service rendered be
trivial, such as carrying wood, wash
ing dishes, busting, etc, the value
of the lesson remains
After earning money by labor, it be-
comes necessary that it should be
well spent in order that the benefit,
both morally and financially, be last
ing If the child is merely taught
to earn in order to spend, he is &C
curing spendthrift habits which VIII
enlarge as the years go by, and be
disastrous. Every parent owes duty
to the child in training it first to
earn largely and then to spend wisely.
The Curtis Publishing company OF
Philadelphia employs over $4,000
boys in selling their publications in
odd moments Such training inspires
them with the instinct of salesman
ship to a very creditable degree. The
company offers to secure good posi-
tions for all those who show marked
ability. A boy in Passaic, N. j., is
earning SIS a week out of school hours
and has 500 in the bank. Such OPP
portunities are on every hand for the
boy, particularly, to profitably use
his spare time, which might other
wise be frittered away to a damage
able degree.
The selling of papers, running OF
errands for a store, and work of this
order does not reflect on the standing
of the parents-it is simply goot
training and those whose regard /:
worth having will recognize this fact
A certain mother in Staten Islant
whose boy used his out of school tim,
in delivering packages for a dyeinl
establishment and earned 81 weel
had the right idea. She insisted tina
he put a part of his earnings in tn
bank. AS his earnings increased h
increased his savings. He thought
hard at first to bank rather thai
spend his money, until he got tn
habit but now he is glad his mothe
was strict He has recently bough
an automobile out of his saving:
/, which might appear eXtravagant, blu
, with such training he is sure to tur
q 1t into an earning power
A boy reared in such surrounding
must be thrifty. This mother did nc
raise her boy to be loafer, spendin
q his time in the pool rooms, or on tn
Y streets wasting time, and learnin
e bad habits; she helped him capitaliz
his spare moments for substantial II
+ suits later on in life.

Laughter after a funeral. In this re-
action people will laugh at anything and
at nothing. The band plays a dirge on
the way to the cemetery. but when 1t
turns back, and the mourning carriages
are out of hearing. it strikes up, Dark

but there are women whose laughter Is
like the whirring of whips.

But woman who has been betrothed to
a man would not look beautiful at his
funeral. woman might look beautiful,
though, at the funeral of man whom
she had known and liked. And in that
case, too. she would probably not want
to talk if she drove home from the ceme-
terry with his brother; nor would she
want the brother to talk. Neverthe-

Open Wide the Windows

To appreciate the merit of Health Com
missioner Emerson's recommendation that
the windows in subway cars be opened, 1t
is necessary only TO take trip in car
so ventilated Fortunately, there are a
few in operation. either because the
guards serving them are more solicitous Of
their own health than other subway en-
ployes, or because they recognize what the
public ought to have and give it despite
general custom.
Subway air. at best, is not exactly as
fresh and vitalizing as the breezes which
blow across the decks of Staten Island
ferryboat But the air in car with open
windows seems almost fresh and pure by
comparison with the stale, fetid atmos-
phere which infests a crowded car with its
windows sealed. At this time of year,
when the health authorities tell US the air
is "surcharged with infectious bacteria
the least that can be done in the way Of
protecting the users Of the subway cars is
to drive out necessarily polluted and in
fected air as completely as possible with
air which at worst cannot be as bad as
that it replaces.

When bombs were dropped on Notre Dame

When the Lusitanis was sunk and scores
of bodies OF assassinated Americana

note. but we said nothing.
When free born Belgian and French men
and women were carried into slavery with all
its horrors inten,fed-we said nothing
When all civilized Europe was, and is

A Message to the Allies
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial to-day entitled "What
Must Be Understood is bitter medicine.
Perhaps It will commence a cure.
The writer Of this Is an American with
nothing 10 give, no vote to cast, no power ex-
copt to write note. The note is one Of pro
test. don't want your editorial of to-day
10 speak for me 10 those across the sea.
Some Of us here felt the blow when we
read the Presidents peace message. Some OF
US could not believe our eyes when we read
that he asked to be told what the fight is for.
We hoped he was trying to tell the Allies
that we could help when he stated that our
country was approaching the verge of war.
But that part OF the message was a mistake,
he told us later. Then there was nothing
left but to feel ashamed.
Would the Allies care to know that some
Of US Americans arc with them; that VIC
watch eagerly and rejoice when they win,
and wonder If there is God in Heaven
when they lose? Can't YOU think OF some
wav that those who understand what the
war is about can express a little Of their
appreciation to the Allies. though so far they
have been powerless TO help them?

Let us recanvass for the moment the
full significance Of this little episode. In
the richest city OF the richest country
known to history, on Christmas Day Of its
most prosperous year, a young woman fell
unconscious in the street from hunger and
exposure. For what reason? Because
her husband answered the nations call to
arms. About her were collected, SILVER

women and their children, penalized, like
her for the patriotism of their breadwIn-
ners. And within easy walking distance
we're scores Of hotels crammed with fellow
Americans who at precisely the same mo-
ment were gorging themselves on the abun-
dance of good times. bathing in cham

whose breadwinners

wager, than on that occasion among those

Inc Editor % The Tribune.

10 tho Editor ~ The Tribune.
Sir: I have for long been an admirlng
reader Of your editorials concerning the
European war and have always felt, notvith-
standing the dolngs Of our underwriting,
phrase making, too-proud-to-hght President,
that your views. or at least sentiments, were
shared by the average American. ] have just
read your editorial "Whst Must Re Under
stood" and am afraid that prolonged efforts
without expectant results have caused you 70
take too gloomy view.
II is too difficult to believe that though
re elected our President shares the views, or
rather that his uttcrances rcprcscut tho
views and sentiments Of the average Amerl-
can. Was not his recollection simply due 70
the dominance Of politicians? Did We have
tho chance to vote for a really suitable man?
Assuming We had the chance, then why did
not the candidate say bluntly what he would
do. and not appear TO be tongue tied and in
effect say merely: 81 will do what is right?
The average American has his own views Of
what is right" Briefly, to my mind, the
reelection Of Mr.. Wilson proves nothing in
regard TO the judgment and feelings Of the
average American in respect to the war
Moreover, he was bitterly opposed by an OK
ceedingly great minority.
At this time we need leader OF unusually
manly and intellectual parts. In other words,
we need a Lincoln. The politicians did not
give us the opportunity to vote for such
one and very many decided that a known in
competent would be safer than an unknown
The times called for a leader possessing much
more than honesty.
Let US regard this matter broadly. At the
commencement of this war our President en-
joined US to strict neutrality, both in mind
and action. Now such request is an insult
both to our intellectually and our moral
sense. As intelligent beings we form our
judgments in regard to right and wrong
Such judgments are quite Independent Of
our will and arc simply the result OF our
ligence Therefore We r-nnot be neutral
in mind, and our moral sense eyerlastingy
urges Us that We have no right to shirk our
moral obligations that is to say, be neutral
in sction-for We know we are one, and an
important one, of the community of nations
Our intelligence assures US that nations
equally with individuals have their moral
obligations And the scrap of paper" is
morally as much our business as that Of the
Allies Undoubtedly there are nations that
have remained neutral because they feared
the fate of Belgium-the plucky little nation
which | am sure the average American has
assisted with feelings of admiration even
greater than Of pity But we were, and are
yet, in quite a different situation than the
little nations referred TO.
Probably at no time in our history have
We needed a Lincoln more than the present
Yet we have merely Wilson, a name which
will also acquire meaning in itself, but
sadly different to that of Lincoln.

leader, says. president Wilson's peace note
