the disaster nor tell of their fight

reckoning was lost and she went

BOYS AND GIRLS
Fair Play Among Brothers and
Sisters a Necessity.
HASTY JUDGMENTS ARE RISKY
Innocent Child Too Often Is Held Re-
sponsibIe for the Frictions That
Arise-Tasks Must Not
Be EVaded.
BY sIDoNIE M. eRUENsERo.

T. ATHER was glancing at the papers
j while waiting for his son to join
him for their Sunday morning walk.
Presently he noticed that he had read
more OF the paper than he had ex-
pected to, and looked at his watch.
The delay was unusually long. and
he called to William. Williams voice
came back sObbing: "They won't
dress me".
Father did not like that. He went
right up to the chIldren's quarters to
see what 1t all meant. The oldest sis
ter spoke up. She thought that Will
liam, aged seven. was quite old enough
to dress himself, and he wouldn't even
try. The silence and the expressions
ON the faces of the other sisters sug-
gested a conspiracy. This would nev-
er do. Father pronounced final judg-
ment. "a boy who has three older
sisters ought to be able to get help
when he has to be dressed, and not
be neglected" William had to be
dressed at once, and the girls would
see to 1t that the task was accom-
plished with neatness and dispatch.
To have the opportunity to look
after younger brothers or sisters is no
doubt Of great value to any girl. And
to be obliged to dress William through
all those years must have been an ed
ucatiOn for the girls. But it is GER
tain that whatever they gained was
more than cOunterbalanced by the
boys loss. And 1t is also certain that
the experience and discipline" that
the girls gained were codnterbalanced
by the resentment and sense of injus-
tice which they developed as William
became old enOugh-at least in their
judgment--tO relieve them of their re-
spOnsibility.
cumstances than his sisters. 1t was
his fate to be the youngest-and the
only boy. 1t is bad enough to be the
youngest, and 1t is bad enough to be
the only bOy-Or the only girl. But
the combination of the two handicaps
is in many households quite insur-
mOuntable.
But every child is unique, if not in
one way then In another. And so ev-
cry child is likely to derive advan-
tages from his pGculiarities as we'll as
to be handicapped by them. The older

fore and after" BY this she meant
that he always did what he could to
avoid friction in advance; but that
when any alteration arose he was
then ready to make further conces-
slons and yield. He would not let his
preferences stand in the way of peace.
This was so marked that whenever
trouble did arise it was quite natural
for Henry to receive the blame. But
later it became possible for Charles,
in his quiet way, to make trouble in
the certainty that Henry would be
blamed.
1t is quite proper for us to recognize
the fact that the children are not
alike and to take the differences into
consideration in our judgments and in
our other treatment of them. But
We must not let our classification of
children stand in the way of substan-
tial justice. 1t is quite probable that

times out of ten, and an understanding

INDIAN IS BIG CARE
Uncle Sam Spends Much Timf
and Money on Wards.
Work Of Handling 100000 Red Men.
Owning Property Worth Hundreds
of Millions, Is No chiId's Play.

A tremendous amount of time,
money and attention is spent by Uncle
Sam upon his Indians. The official
care of more than 100000 Indians is
something more than mere child's
play, especially when 1t is remembered
that hundreds of millions Of dollars
worth Of property are owned by the
red men.
During the past three years under
the administration of Secretary Lane
more than 1851. 900 has been collected
as tribal royalties on coal and as
phalt lands belonging to the ChOctaw
and Chickasaw tribe; for the years
1913, 1914 and 1915, restrictions on
alienation of 191, ,644 acres Of land
were removed, of which $4,000 acres
were sold for the benefit of allOttees,
the amount derived from the sale be-
ing $1,56S,OOO.
For the past three years there was
collected, as royalties of individual
Indians from oil produced on restrict
ed allotted lands, the total sum Of S5,-
500, 1000, the highest returns being for
the year 1914, which was $2,113,OO0.

bers of the Five Civilized Tribes,
amounting to over 100000 acres, re-
StrictiOns on alienation have been re-
moved by operation of law, by the
secretary of the interior, on over 12,-
100000 acres, leaving 3,31S,OO0 acres
retained by only 32,54O restricted In
dianS Of a total number of 101, ,521 en-
rolled members Of the Five Civilized
Tribes.
Aggressive work has been carried
on during the same three years in all
other departments of the Indian Of
fee. In that time 1900 allOtments
of land have been made, embracing
more than 2,2S4,OOO acres; the Fort
Peck reservation in Montana has been
opened to settlement and the COlville
reservation in the state of Wash
ingtOn has been opened, making avail
able for homestead entry 100000
acres.
There has also been the withdrawal

700 per cent over the amount paid
on the old form of lease, which ex-
pired March 16, 1915.
Competency commissions have been

of Indians to individually handle

DEVISE MACHINE TO TEST
THE STRENGTH OF BOXES
Uncle Sans Forestry Engineers Seek
Means of Decreasing Damage to
Shipments in Transit.

Uncle Sam is endeavOring to eStab-
lish a standard of strength for boxes
in order to reduce the damage caused
by these wood containers breaking to
pieces and scattering their contents as
Il result of rough handling in transit.
A machine for testing the strength
of boxes has been devised by engi-
neers of the forest service and is in
use at the forest products laboratory
at Madison, Wis. The machine is the
result of experiments made to deter
mine a fair test for all types of boxes.
Big losses are caused by the breakage
of boxes in transit, and all parties con-
cerned are said to be anxious to de-
termine the best kind of box.
The machine consists of hexagonal
drum with 3h foot sides, which is
lined with thin steel sheets. Pieces
of scantling bOlted to the bottom form
what are known as hazards"
In making the tests boxes filled with
cans containing water are placed in
the drum, which is then rotated. The
"hazardS" cause the boxes to be car
ried part way around and then
dropped back to the lower level of
the drum. Each fall of this sort is
pretty fair imitation of the probable
treatment it would receive in ship
ment. The boxes are watched care
fully, and notes are taken on the man.
ner in which they give way and the
number of falls required to break them
in pieces.
The tests also show the best meth
DDS of box construction. The experts
say that one of the most striking
things brought out was the made
quacy of the ordinary methods of nail
ing up boxes. The number of nails
used and the way they are put in are
important. One nail more to the side
of box will give it great deal more
strength than might be thought. The
nails should not be driven too deep
into the wood. In many cases, it is
said, proper mailing will allow a reduc-
tion of the amount of lumber used
without any decrease in the value of
the box. Boxes with cleated ends were
found to be much stronger than those
without cleats.

several times, until Helen was exas-
perated beyond self-contrOl. The
mother admitted later that had she
not seen the performance herself she
would have considered Helen respOn-
sible for the friction, without regard
for the girls pleas in 'extenuation.
In the distribution of tasks and re-
sponSibilities of a household among
the children there will necessarily be
inequalities in age and strength and
also on account of interests. Some
children are more Obliging than others,
and at one stage the child is more
eager to go on errands than he will be
later. 1t is perfectly legitimate to
allow such inequalities. But we ibust
not let the less-obliging child take nd
vantage of the more helpful brother or
sister; he needs to do his share of
the work even more than the work
needs to be done. Nor must We allow
him to evade his tasks through sub

One View of Living in the Past.

One View of Living in the Past.
1t is a sure sign of old age creeping
on, say some folk, when the mind in
stinctively turns back and lives in the
past. But is it? If that past is pleas
ant to dwell upon, is it the part of the
mind to forget 1t? Is it not, after all,
a pretty sure sign of life well lived
hen in later years one likes to go
back into the years past, to let the
mind dwell on what has gone before,
and when one finds that the friends of
early years are still the friends of
later life? All life is not lived in the
present and future, as the young be-
lleve. 1t is natural that youth has this
notion, since no background can exist
except through experience. 1t is as
we live in the present and future that
later gives us background to look
upon, and it is something deep and fine
and vital that turns the mind back
upon the retrospect of life well
spent.--Ladies' Home Journal.
