The losses in the rails extended from
small fractions to ia, with Reading and
st Paul. the favorites, showing the larg-
est declines. Southern Railway lost 4

because of the low price at which the

The tendency of enlight-
ened philanthropy is to split
up Orphanagcs into cottage
units, to restore the father
less child to some kind of an
imitation home.
An admirable tendency of edu.
cation is to put men teachers into
the public schools. and the tend
ency of common sense is to con-
clude that the best kind of chill
dren cannot be raised without q
father as we'll as a mother in the
family.
If he is a pattern and a guide,
so much the more fortunate are
the children. II he fails as
model husband and parent, then
at least he is a good warning of
what a man ought not to be.
Either way, the child is saved
from ignorance of how men feel,
think and act.
Even the most wonderful
mother cannot give her son
mans outlook on life, his under
standing of It's temptations, his
judgment of effort, conduct, sue
cess.
Undoubtedly there are men who
would rejoice at any adjustment
of society by which they could
shirk their parental responsible
ties without reproof. But they
can hardly be regarded, even by
themselves, as the flower of chiv-
airy and civilization.
Two persons may recognize the
same facts and face life in oppo-
site directions. But it is very i'm
portant HOW one faces.
Fortunately, the best scien-
tific teaching Of the time puts
the child in the center of the
home and compels all adults
to look toward 1t. Thus the
child is the stablizer of tho
home. And fathers and
mothers who are bent on get
ting the most out of life for
themselves soon learn that
the little child does much
more for them in the end
than they can ever do for the
child.

IS HOME BREAKING UP?
BY MABEL ABBOTT

to make the mother herself, which
is every human beings right, they
continue, woman must have her
liberty, even If her child goes to
an institution and it's father-to
some more entertaining environ
ment.
Quite enlightened and indie
pendent women--most of them
unmarried-who insist upon their
moral and mental integrity, think
a good deal of this doctrine. But
1t surely is a partial menace to the
permanence of the home.
Such theories have the attrac-
ton of novelty to many readers,
but they are dangerous because
they leave the welfare Of the child
quite out of the reckoning. And
in fact, they are not quite 80 mod
ern as they sound.

Some mothers are unfit to rear
their children; others must leave
their children to work for wages;
for these and other reasons the
state should assume full RESPONSE
bility for the child; this is the
theory of certain feminists and
economists. And it may well be
asked IL the home--minus the
child-can survive.
Other original thinkers assert
that the mother has the supreme
right to her child. Never mind
what becomes of the father. When

BOOST 1T ALONG

The first community Christmas tree was held
in Madison Square Garden, New York, in 1912.
1t was something new in the way of municipal
celebrations - just a great brilliantly-lighted
tree, standing in park which ordinarily is as
lonely after nightfall as desert save for the
homeless who try to snatch little sleep on the
benches, and the measured step Of an occasional
policeman tree with no gift for anybody save
the great gifts of music, light and human fellow
ship; tree that not used for purposes Of self
glorification by it's givers, for no one knew who
they were.
Not the kind of thing you would say, that
would "take" in this business-like country Of
ours, where we have little time for anything that
does not show tangible return.
But in 1913, 100 cities had community Christ
mas trees; in 1914 over 300 had them in 1918
more than 10O0 and in 1916 nobody knows yet
how great a forest will be required to supply the
demand from cities all over the United States
One of them will be in Tacoma.
What is there in this idea, with neither money,
advertisement nor material benefit in it for any
body-this simple notion of standing around
Christmas tree, elbow to elbow with everybody
ese hearing and singing old Christmas music
that is so taking hold of the American peope9
