What Should be the Mothers Atti-

lean give you only few crude
ideas of my own. However will
say that, in this sub.topic assigned
to me Tor initiatory discussion, |
think we have a very comprehen-
sive picture-a really, truly movie
if you please. Shall | give you the
reel? A schOol-roUm sudent-flled
and busy as a beehive,and seel just
over there in the midst Of that
mirth-rehecting group is a naughty,
or maybe | should say,mischievOus-
ly daring child who boldly challen-
ges the force of school discipline,
and perforce Of duty the teacher
administers a deserved punishment.
School now closes for the day and
the child goes home and reports to
his mother what has befallen him.
Now, our question is, what should
be the mOthsF's duty in the thus
promised instance?
Shall mother-love overflow her
soul and the placid, purling stream
of affection swell into such mud
died, turbulent food of indignation,
| resentment, anger towards the
teacher that she fOrg S
| all else other that her child has
been punished by another than her
self? ask, shalt these feelings
sway mother into taking an atti-
tude of sympathy for her child and
blame for the teacher which may
be, shall make her, as she cuddles
and pets her darling, to make
Threats that thus and so had better
never accur again?
No; she must not take this atti-
tude But it is a natural attitude
the unconsidered and incOnsiderate
attitude of a mother who is Actual
ed wholly by the protective in
stincts Of the maternal heart To
each and every mother her child is
her dearer self-bOne of her bone,
! flesh of her flesh. Aye,the very life
/ blood of her own heart thrObs in its
veins and in the mothers soul the
never-ceasing wonder Of this miracle
thrills into life the full power Of
that great mother love which domi-
mates the animal kingdom. If you
doubt this just stir up the anger of
any mother by what she considers
an injustice to her child and, with
Kipling you will find that The fe-
male is the more deadly Of the
species" This is why no mother
can lightly contemplate her child as
an object of punishment however
merited it may be; this it is that
makes her, herself, TO often shirk
this duty to her Child's great hurt
But, giving due consideration to
this heart-argument still we say
the mother must not bend to an at
titude of Over-weening love
1t is now her lealty to Lies high

sincere desire that her child may

The Department of Labor closed a
contract today with the p. r. Gormley
Company for the construction Of a nine

PARIS, May 11,--Lieutenant Navarro,
Frances twenty one-year-o air
hero. has dropped a second manifesto
behind the German lines, challenging
Lieutenant Immelman. the super
hawk of Germany. to an air duel for
the championship OF the world.
The German champion, credited with
bringing down fifteen enemy aero.
planes. ignored the first challenge

Navarro. who has fourteen victories
to his credit, said in his second mes
sage that he intends to make Immel-
mans aeroplane the fifteenth shot
down. Allied aviators along the en-
tire western front are awaiting with
tense interest the outcome Of the
challenge.
Navarro. a smooth-faced French
youth. has fought more than fifty air

Navarre's methods OF fighting are en-

Intervention Is Near, {.
Congressmen Believe

Feeling that the United States is
likely to be driven into Intervention
In Mexico is growing In Congress.
Although President Wilson In rep
resented as not having changed his
mind on the subject OF Intervention,
II Is deemed probable In many quar-
ters In Senate and House that events
beyond the control OF this nation are
forcing the country toward the task
of restoring order in Mexico by force.
Tho feeling IL becoming more and
more apparent among Democratic
leaders that the United States will
sooner or later have to intervene and
that II might well do II now. Just
how far this feeling Is affecting the
Administration II Is impossible to say.
Less Opposition.
Nevertheless. some acute observers OF
the situation believe the Administration
If not as strongly opposed to interven-
ton as II was formerly.
They point as evidence of that fact
to the presence In Mexico and on the
border of the largest American force
ever present since the Mxican upheavsi
Having sent troops into Mexico. the
Administration finds itself in a situation
where II fears the political effects OF
backing out before the demands Of Car
rama. and also In a situation where
every day the troops remain increases
the danger OF clash with Obregons
fcrces.
Democratic leaders would, in a poiiti-
cal way. be quite reconciled to inter-
ventlon In Mexico. That Is. they believe
II would make the reelection Of the
Wilson Administration and the con-
tinuance OF Democratic control OF the
Government certain.
Discussion Held Down.
Although discussion of Mexico may
flare up In either House or Senate any
day. II has been held down so far.
The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee did not consider Mexican matters
at Its meeting yesterday.
Senator Stone. chairman. Is keeping
in touch with developments. Senator
Stone will stand by the President.
However. he has long believed In use OF
force to restore order In the Mexican

pected. when opportunity offers. to
speak on Mexico. He has In the past
sharply criticised the Administrator
policy.

KENNEcoTT's CASH
 POSITION; LARGER
 DIVIDENDS CERTAIN

BOSTON. March 1.-The Kennecott Copper Corporation. when 1t pays its s1 a share quarterly dividend on the s1st of March, will have on hand, in cash and copper. including its 20 per cent interest in Utah Copper which carries with it a 50 per cent. interest in Nevada Consolidated, more than $SO,OOO,0Oo.
 All fhe copper on hand has already been sold.
 This gives one an idea of the won derfully strong financial position of the Kennecott, and forecasts much larger distribution of dividends to It's shareholders in the event Of contin- uance of the present prosperous cop per conditions.
 As O matter of fact, Kennecott at present would have no difficulty in maintaining the present rate of $1 share # copper prices dropped to point that might force some of the small high cost producers to suspend operations.
 The dividend Of $1 a share calls for approximately $2.75O,OO0.
 With the Braden Copper Go. mines in full operation. Kennecott Copper will have a production of more than s25.0oO.OOO pounds of copper a year, including the % per cent. equity in Utah and the 50 per cent. equity in Nevada Consolidated
 This would mean earnings of nearly s6O.00OOOO annually on a basis of S5- cent copper. equal to nearly S22 a share. Of course, this estimate is more or less theoretical as conditions In copper have been extraordinary in the past for some time. However, the figures give one Q good idea of the present phenomenal position of tho industry.
