According to General Sheriff.
Who Acted as Grand Mar
shall ON That Occasion.

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-General
Charles H. Sheriff.. who was grand
marshal of the New York city pre-
paredness parade of last spring, is
sued statement at Republican ma
tional headquarters today charging
that the Washington administration
endeavored for political reasons to
prevent that parade. This effort hay-
ing failed, subsequently, it will be
remembered, President Wilson him
self took part in a preparedness
parade in Washington. Mr.. Sherill's
statement says:
Mr.. Riders statement in the
newspapers that the administration
has for some time been attempting
to conciliate what they frequently
call the German-hyphenate vote re-
calls to my mind an experience of
last spring which tends to confirm
his statement. At that time for six
weeks I, with some OF my friends,
was engaged in organized the pre-
paredness parade which took place in
this city on May 10. About two
weeks before that date l received an
urgent telephone request to come to
the mayors Office. Upon arrival there
/ was told that long distance tele-
phone message had just been received
from the administration in Washing
ton urging that the preparedness
parade be abandoned on the ground
that 1t would irritate our American
citizens of German birth or descent,
might cause riots in the street and,
therefore, be most undesirable. or
course, was astounded by this re-
quest and stated that, In my opinion,
stdestepping a crisis was not the best
way to meet 1t, especially IL not as
sured that 1t really was a crisis. I
asked time to consider the matter and
it was given me. 1t was made clear
that the extraordinary suggestion did
not originate with the mayor but
came from the administration in
Washington.
"In order to ASCERTAIN IL this was
real or only an Imaginary crisis,
prepared for political purposes con-
ferred with Mr.. Carl L. Schurz, a
childhood friend, told him what had
been said to me at the mayors office,
expressed my opinion that It was
based upon an entire misconception
of our German-American citizens and
their loyalty to our land and in this
opinion he heartily agreed. He went
at once to see his friends and had a
number of conferences concerning
which cannot speak because / was
not present at any of them. I learned
that as a result of his efforts, Mr..
Bernard Ridder personally went to
the mayors Office and assured his
honor that not only was there no fear
of any rloting or other disloyal be-
havior on the part of American cIti-
Zens of German antecedents but
also that the German language press
Of this city would endorse and sup
port the parade. myself never have
seen Mr.. Bernard Ridder.
More than ninety other cities also
had preparedness parades and about
.2,S50.000 persons took part in them.

PARADE OPPOSED
BY THE PRESIDENT

From none OF these cities did / hear
Of any real opposition by American
citizens of German descent to these
parades. On the contrary they took
part in large numbers.
THE attempt of the administration
to stop the New York parade was
not only an unjust reflection upon the
loyalty OF Americans of German
origin. but also dislngenlous bid by
Washington for their political sup
port. 1t was likewise the one single
instance in all that great movement
on the part of anybody to use It for
the purpose of playing politics"

In the club talk yesterday and I wanted
10 get up and tell how l had managed
my children about behaving, but it is
hari for me to say anything when there
are SO many women so much smarter
than than 1 to say things. have three
little children, the oldest just six years
old, and they are the hardest lot to han
die any mother ever had, I know. They
are all high-strung, nervous children
and they do an awful lot of Quarreltng
among themselves. II seems to me they
all want the same thing at the same
time. and If one gets It the others set on
him to beat him and they call each other
names and are as cross as can be with
each other. had been talking to them
Tor long time, telling them they did not
see their father and me do such things.
and saying they ought to be good because
God did not like such naughty little chill
dren, but nothing 1 could say made any
impression on them. God is too far
away UP in heaven the oldest child, the
siX-year-old boy, said once to know
anything about what little children are
doing down here"
Finally hit upon this plan: bought
Tor each OF the children a daily memo
randum calendar with a space for notes
at the side of the date for each day. and
1 bought two boxes of the tiny stars YOU
paste on for markers, one box of red
and one of gold. Now, whenever any
child loses his temper in the course of
the day he has a red star pasted oppo-
site the date: II he says cross words. or
strikes or kicks one of the other chill
dren or anybody else, he gets a cross
mark with a blue pencil in the space for
that day. But If, at the end of the day
he has neither a red star nor a blue
cross mark on his memorandum, 1 paste
a gold star in that days record Any one
who gets seven gold stars in succession
Is to be rewarded with something really
nice, like q new dress or a new pair of
shoes, or new necktie or hair ribbon.
something worth while that they really
need. not mere empty pleasure or some
harmful candy.
AT first you may be sure there were
plenty of red stars and blue cross marks,
but as the weeks went by gold stars he
came more plentiful, and we did not fall
from grace so frequently. This week,
after only six weeks trial, two OF the
children have four gold stars in success
sion and the other one has threeI
wonderful peace has settled down over
our habttStion as you may well imagine -
l think this plan is we'll worth tryi,s
and recommend 1t to every member OF

suggestions for the MANAGEMENT of chit
dren that has been offered to the cIub
for long time.

The Living Room Desk.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

One Of the hardest things to do in some
houses is to find g place 70 write a let
ter. And this is true Of houses where
luxury abounds as well as Of many
humber establishments
But much by way Of the appearance Of
letters sent from any house depends on
having the proper place TO write and the
the housewives task TO pr ide what one
might call a family desk.
Here-on the family desk-there should
be stationery which all may use. Nova
days II is expected of the hostess to pro-
vide stationery for her house guests am
many a step is often saved to every one
within the home IL all the little accessor-
les Of writing are conveniently placed
IN the main hall or living room Of
the house. Do not think that it is neces-
ssry to make a large outlay in providing
this desk, IL it does not exist, for all that
is needed is q fiat topped table surface
Of suitable height and q possible drawer
or so.
One ingenious housewife made this 1iv-
ing room desk from a kitchen table that
cost not more than a dollar and a half.
All that could be said in favor of the
table IN its original state was that II had
a smooth surface and was simple to the
extreme. or paint or vsrnish or carving
It was entirely innocent. With the aid
Of a can Of very dark brown paint of a
good quality and a saw, by the assist
ance Of which the legs were sawed OF
the couple OF inches that were needed in
order to make II perfectly comfortable
for writing, this desk was made into one
that would really grace the most artis-
ucally furnished interior. A large brown
blotter with four metal corners that
could be bought for a triie, was placed
on the top. A simple dark metal pen
tray. ink well and a metal mucilage pot.
as well as q letter opener and a pair OF
desk scissors. finished the equipment
One or two interesting though ineXpcn-
sive pictures placed over the desk might
have added inspiration to the one who
wrote there, and a picturesque addition
to any desk is pair of brass candle
sticks at the back, which can be turned
to account by the writer who makes a
practice of using sealing wax to secure
the closing Of her letters.

we have often discussed in the various
mother clubs I have spoken before the
merits Of a system of rewards and punish
ments. Some OF our mothers have felt
that child should be taught to do right
beczuse it is right; that no other motive
should be given him for good conduct
than the abstract, ethical one OF doing
right for rights sake. These mothers
have claimed that to offer a reward for
doing right lowers the chiId's ideals and
gives him a base standard for all his
actions in life.
While I believe right for rights sake
is the Ideal for conduct, and the end we
should strive ultimately to reach, do
not think II is the road that will lead US
IN our goal II We strike into it too soon.
] do not believe the young child will re-
spOnd TO such an abstract reason as
quickly as he will to something visible
and concrete. something he can see with
his eyes and find a pleasure In through
his physical senses.
In my dealings with my own children I
found that they had very vague and, to
me, unsatisfactory Ideas OF conduct In
general They had no ethical standards
at all, of course. A thing was right that
was pleasure or that pleased me to the
point Of rewarding them. A thing was
wrong that hurt them in some way or
was followed by unpleasant consequences

we're quite well-grown youngsters before
they seemed to grasp any less personal
idea than that. 1 cannot say now Just
how old they were before could make a
successful appeal to any ideal Of good
conduct in them, but for a long time 1
ruled them, when I ruled at all, by quite
unethical means
I said something of this sort at a re-
cent club meeting and we discussed the
question in detail afterward, many of
those present agreeing with me and
many others saying they thought such
methods in the beginning would prevent
a mother from ever leading her children
TO behave for any other reason than the
hope Of reward or the fear Of punish
