The clothes were charming and sensible
But the mothers feared the rocks. They held
bumps and bruises. Each time the toddling
expedition started from the nice, safe walk in
front of the benches where the mothers sat
embroidering three calls followed them:
Come back here, or the cop will get you!"
"Come back here, or the bears will eat you"
"Come back here, or the mosquitoes will bite
you"
Maybe one of those very mothers will come
to Mrs. Scott some day, brOken-hearted because
her child has lied to her.
They did not mean their children any harm.
They did not know that they were doing them
harm. But they were manufacturing little
liars. And the baby in the white satin coat,
held tight in the nurses arms, was being made
into nervous nuisance.
LOOK FOR THE CAUSE.
factions" says Mrs Scott, "are signs. If
YOU watch your childs actions intelligently you
can read the nature that lies behind them.
Do not punish fault. Find out the cause OF
the fault and deal with the cause
Even when one understands the underlying
theory it is difficult to apply it in concrete
cases.
A peculiar understanding of children's nat
ures and wide experience are necessary IN
dealing with emotionally sick children. Even
the best of mothers sometimes needs help.
Not long ago woman travelled from Cali
fornia to consult Mrs. Scott. Another came
from neighboring city for advice in dealing
with her seven children. Since she couldn't
bring so big family with her, she brought
their photographs, and had long consuta-
ton with Mrs. Scott, taking up every side of
their characters.

herself to see that she does
not "overdo," or encourage the habit OF thlnk-
ing too much about Saving steps, Morold
self-consciousness in regard to these things IS
more wearing than the free-hearted service
which is given so vigorously that the worker
never thinks of herself until she has reached
the point of physical exhaustion.
Self-consciousness, care and thought be-
slowed upon ones self are the most unfortu-
nate habits a woman can form. The mental
effort required to be continually balancing
ones power of endurance with the effort TO
he extended is mental work which is more IA
tiguing than manual labor.
Worry about the prospect of taking cold
or falling prey to microbes causes more gray
hair and nervous wreckage than all the actual
work done in a long period of time. Yet TINS
morbid watching of self has nothing to do with
a businesslike planning and execution OF
household affairs.
If we would watch the order of our own
acts about the house for a few days or weeks
we might be able TO discover that many OF the
activities upon which we spend time and get
tired are entirely unnecessary.
We work awkwardly. We might say that
we "work backward" We work without plan
or definite purpose or we fail to gauge cor
rectlv the time we have and our ability to
turn off our tasks without hurry and furry.

Thomas Bond Increased

Raleigh, n. c., Sept. 6.-The pre-
liminary hearing of Z. S. Thomas, of
Georgia, yesterday resulted in raising
his bond to $4,000. an amount that he
has not yet been able to put up.
Thomas is charged with attempted
criminal assault on Miss Eula Num-,
IN Pullman car OF Southern Rail-
way train in union station shed here.
r. Pullman Conductor j. +. Stephen
son and other witnesses testified that
he pulled Thomas out of the berth of
the young lady, while he was holding
her with one hand pressed over her
mouth.
The defense is to be that Thomas
was 50 intoxicated that he did not
realize what he was doing. Two kins-
men of Miss Num- came up from New
Bern to press the prosecution, and it
is said that she Will come from her
home IN Tennessee for the trial next

The reason so many people in the
