CHANDLER COMPANY
 STILL EXPANDING
Big Extension of Factory Will Make Chandler Plant
 as Complete as Any

Further expansion in the manufacturing facilities of the Chandler Motor Car com pany. Cleveland, is marked by the be- girning of construction of one new gen. eral assembly building 50 feet wide, 800 feet long and four stories high, and the addition of three stories to the 60x16O-foot service building erected earlier this sea- son. With the completion of these two new buildings the Chandler company will have on it's factory site five splen- did modern manufacturing buildings, all equipped with the very latest machinery and all known modern devices for eff1- cicnt motor car production
 The new buildings will be ready for occupancy in time to help take care of the production of next years series of Chandler sixes, contemplated produc- ton of 25,0o0 cars.
 The Chandler company also announces that it has purchased a large piece of property directly across East Thirteenth street from the main factory buildings and on this property will, next spring, erect a building to be devoted exclu- sively to the handling of export ship ments, installation of special foreign equipment, boxing cars ready for deliv- cry to steamships, etc.
 The comfort of Chandler employees has been borne in mind by the company f it's extended building plans. One floor of the big service building will be devoted to a high class restaurant of most at- tr&ctive appearance, and the last word in modern kitchen equipment. Included also in the plans permitted by the new build ing is an emergency hospital, in which trained nurse will be on duty during fac tory hours, and in which the company ,,L. Irn hoa rt

Entente CordiaIe at saIoniki.

More seriously interesting than any
personal fancies is the active quality
of the entente which one discovers at
Saloniki. In France the two armies
were separated; here they mingle. On
the western front the Belgians held
their section of the line, then came the
British, and below them was the great
French section; one hardly met Bel
gian or q French soldier except by ac-
cident. Here In Macedonia we mingle
freely, in fact, are arriving at friend
ships that must survive the war, and
the ridiculous thing out here is the
way we go discovering one another.
From hundred British mouths have
heard what wonderful army is that
Of our ally, and that If we were one
tenth part as efficient, and so forth,
and so forth; and again from my
French friends hear how wonderfully
organized Is the army of Britain, and
IL theirs were one-tenth part as well
equipped and found, and so forth, and
so forth. . Both parties are quite
sincere; in some points either army
takes the lead, and Ii Is on few such
points that we fasten.-Albert Kinross,

TRAINING TODAYs
BOYS AND GIRLS
Children Often Are Fatigued
Without Feeling Tired.
1T MAY MAKE THEM RESTLESS
Parents Should Learn to Distinguish
Between This Condition and
Naughtiness-Marked by Lack
of Concentration.
BY sIDoNiE M. eRUEN5ERe.

TO SAY that child is fatigued but
L does not feel tired may seem like
splitting hairs or defining the use OF
the scientists newfangled words. But
there is real difference between be-
ing fatigued and feeling tired, and it
is well for parents to know how ii ap-
plies to their children.
When one feels tired he knows it
and usually takes the next opportunity
for rest or sleep. Young children show
by their behavior that they do not feel
energetic enough to go on with the
work or play in hand when they feel
tired. And it is thus a comparatively
simple matter to provide the condi-
tions for suitable recovery from the
''tired feeling" 1t is an unusually
inexperienced person that would not
be able to distinguish between the ac-
tions of naughty" child and those of
really tired child.
1t is different, however, when 1t
comes to dealing with Il child that suf-
fers from what the psychologists call
Chronic fatigue" Such a child, in
stead of preferring rest and quiet, is
likely to be constantly restless and
eager for something to do or for some
new adventure. He is not likely to
stick very long to any occupation or
game, and his eagerness for something
new is not satisfied, but continues to
reject every novelty in his Unsuitable
search for something else. A little
girl of eight who is ordinarily capable
of working at a single task for from
twenty to sixty minutes at stretch
showed her fatigued condition one
morning by doing all of these things
in much less than half an hour. She
jumped about aimlessly until directed
to find something to play with. She
took down her little express wagon
and pulled it at full speed up and
down the road several times, finally
abandoning it in the middle of the
roadway. She declared she would go
rowing went down to the boat and
sat there several minutes, swaying to
and fro, without pushing the boat into
the water. She ran up to the house
and asked for materials to write let
ter to her cousin; by the time she had
paper and pen she had changed her
mind and decided to cut out some pa
per dolls. She nearly finished one
doll and shifted to a box of puzzle
pictures, which she left without max
ing any progress.
The characteristic thing about the
conduct of a child that is "fatigued"
is the lack Of concentration. This
shows itself not only in the rapid
shifting of interest and activity, but
also in the inability to attend consecu-
The Clio messenger., 1916-11-03

lively to conversation or study, and in
school it is one of the common causes
of "inattention." The connection be-
tween fatigue and this stiffness or
inattention lies in the fact that the
child has lost the ability to resist i'm
pulses. Every sensation, every sugges-
ton, every thought that pops into his
head impels him to new line OF ac-
ton, and he is too feeble to do any
thing but obey the impulse.
We know that the trained person.
the "able" person, is just the one who
selects what sights and what sounds
he will attend to, what impulses he
will obey and what ones he will ig-
more. To make this selection requires
experience, and large part of our
training consists of training in this
kind of selection. Moreover, the Sc
lection requires energy, and this the
over-fatigued child cannot command.
Certain types Of children are much
more likely than others to acquire this
state Of chronic fatigue. The very
sensitive child is most likely of all to
develop the condition, because here
every sensation starts an impulse that
either produces some muscular action,
or IL stretches the muscles without
leading to any obvious movements. In
either case the muscles are actually
expending energy in way that con-
tributes to the fatigue. Not only i'm
pulses that come from the outside
through the senses, but the wander
ings of his own imagination are likely
to start muscular contractions that
add to the fatigue without seeming to
| produce any ''real work" In addition
| to these sources of wasted energy

adjust itself accordingly. In addition
to restlessness, irritability and lack Of
concentration, the child's fatigued con-
dition may sometimes show itself in
uneasy sleep, or in lack of appetite, or
in general languor.
When any of these symptoms show
themselves ii is well to increase the
amount of sleep adding an afternoon
nap where possible. The attention Of
an adult who can help to hold the
childs interest in some continuous oc-
cupation and the removal as far as
possible of all distractions would be
helpful.

such child is Of the Aind that does

such q child IS of the Rind that does
not "know when to STOP"
1t is therefore particularly import
ant that those who have the care Of q
child should know when to make him
stop. And 1t is for this kind of child
that we often need to devise interest
ing and restful occupations. An ex-
perienced teacher made the Observa-
tion that certain of her pupils showed
on first coming to school In the morn
ing that they had before them rest
less and Improbable day. On COM
pairing notes with the parents she
found that the restless day in school
was also the irritable and naughty"
day at home. She then wished that
to permit her to relieve the fatigued
child of the usual program, and let
him spend his time more profitably in
the shop or laboratory, or the play
ground, or perhaps the library. Even
n vigorous and eXhausting turn in the
gymnasium, until the child is good
and tired" and feels like taking a rest,
is to be preferred to the aimless and
disconnected fidgetings.
1t will no doubt be long time be-
fore the schools can undertake To ad-
just their daily work to the varying
needs of each individual child But it
is certainly not too much to expect the
home to take note of the more common
symptoms of chronic fatigue, and to-

him. Thus, while still in his teens, we

of flying that was too practical to suit
his devoted mother. With characters.
tic thoroughness he invented a design
of his own and with equally character
Istic courage proceeded to put it to an
immediate test from a second story
window. But the boy who was after
ward to find food for thought for the
whole civilized world was not destined
to make his mark as an infant aero
pianist. He fell instantly to the ground.
