TO PARENTS.

Let me diverge for once from my
policy of addressing young people d.
rectly, that may say few words to
fathers and mothers.
The selection of vocation is usual
ly made either by the boy himself, by
his parents, or by both.
Theoretically, at least, the parent is
supposed to be the best adviser for his
son, because he has seen more Of him
and should be able to diagnose his
ability with some degree of accuracy.
While the parent undoubtedly in.
tends to advise the son for his good, it
is obvious that neither the father nor
the mother is infallible, and that, be-
ing human, they are likely to err and
influence their boy to his detriment
We are all more or less swayed by
prejudice If a father, for example,
has made failure of his work, he is
likely to advise his son against it,
even though the latter may be adapted
to it. Conversely, if a father has
achieved success in his vocation, he
quite naturally assumes that what he
has done we'll his boy can do equally
well.
The parent often forgets to study
his boy, and he is quite likely to as
sumo that his son is fit for this and
unfit for that.
| do not consider that the advice Of
any one person, whether he is par.
ent or not, is sufficient to determine
the vocation for young man.
Composite counsel is far better than
individual opinion.
The parent should begin to study
his son when the boy has passed his
fourteenth or fifteenth year, perhaps
before; he should watch him care
fully, talk with him in friendly way,
and bring to his attention the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the sew
eral callings, especially those for
which he thinks his son is fitted.
The father should go further, and
consult with his friends, those who
come in contact with his boy, that,
from composite counsel, he may be
able to advise him more definitely and
more carefully.
To push or to force the boy into a
vocation. without careful thought and
! considerable study, is as wicked as it
is to rob him of his birthright.
Thousands upon thousands of boys
have been started wrong because of
self-opinionated fathers, who, without
consideration, forced their sons into
vocations against their inclinations
and ability.
Many a devoted mother and over.
ambitious father, wholly from self
pride and without any real regard for
their offspring, have attempted to
coerce him into some profession, when
the boy had absolutely no liking for it
or ability to practice it. They would
nave their son a lawyer Wnen the boy
would make a good business man.
They would force him to become
teacher when he lacked the power to
/ impart information. They would make
business man of student who
loved his books more than money.
Remember, parents, that your boy,
on the threshold of life, is soon to be
his own master, and that you have no
more right to force him under your
will than you have to steal his over
coat or shoes.
The boy of today is the man Of to-
morrow, and what you do with him to-
day may make or break him tomor
row.

that they must be moved only III
certain regions. To all these argu-
:nrn.s the Americans firmly replied
that there must be no limitations.
The article providing for the mill
tary control OF the border was COLI
densed from elaborate and intricate
plans whose consideration has taken
much OF the time of the commission.
The Mexicans have been inslstent that
t., IRE should be defined neutral zone
in which the armies of the two gov
elnmentS might operate but since con-
sideratiol of that point invariably
brought the commissioners back to the
question of limited pursuit it was
uennltelv rejected Dy the Americans,
as was the suggestion for coopera-
ulon IN which American troops might
find themselves commanded by MeXi-
can officers.
The Mexican commissioners were
noncommittal tonight as to their hope
OF ratification by their first chief. The
Americans hoped" Gen. Carranza
would approve the plan but 1t was
manifest they were not unduly opti-
mistic.
Throughout the conference that be-
gan on SeptemHG- the Mexicans
lave insisted the first chief and his
official family would not agree to any
occupation OF Mexican territory.
If the agreement is ratified there
will beirg long consideration o.
the remaining questions that the
American government regards as VIII
to the full restoration of friendly re-
lations with Mexico. these include
taxes, threats to confiscate property,
sanitary conditions and claims Such
problems are regarded by the Ameri-
cans as essentially basic and neces-
sary to an understanding.

the commission will be held was left
TO Secretary Lansing and AmbaSsa-
dor Designate ArredOndo.
The right of the American govern
ment to send troops across the border
in pursuit OF bandits was not incor-
porated in the protocol but was made
the subject Of supplemental mem
orandum. The MeXicans had col
tended earnestly against signing any
agreement in which they appeared TO
sanction what they termed the viola
ton OF their national territory. 1t was
the agreement Of the Americans
finally to content themselves with
stating the attitude of the United
States in separate memorandum that
induced the MeXcans to sign the
agreement.
TO Save Valuable Time.
1t became known today that the
first request Of the Mexicans for a
recess was made several days ago.
They desired to submit to Ge... Car
rama all the facts in the case. The
Americans contendcd that more delay
was inadvisable. Yesterday the in
sistence of the MeXicans resulted ii
consideration of the suggestion and
today the discussion was resumed
with all members of the commission
present. The MeXicans were iot yet
willing to sign, but the Americans
convinced them that inasmuch as
the correspondence which had led to
the creation of the commission pro-
yided for the submission OF the agree
ment to their respective governments
for approval valuable time could be
saved by taking the signed protocol
to CarraEza.
The clause providing for the with
drawal Of Gen. Pershing's force states
that should the bandits a Chihuahua
appear near the border in such force
as to prove menace the american
troops, acting independently or III
conjunction with the Mexican forces,
may disperse them. In such case the
time for their withdrawal shall be eX-
tended to such time as necessary.
The Mexican commissioners agreed
that as the American troops are with
drawn Mexican troops shall be moved
forward to occupy the territory evac-
uated. The disposition of the Mexi-
can troops shall be left to the Mexi-
can commander Gen Pershing is
to have charge Of the plan of with
drawal and the right 10 use the rail

No Limits ON Pursuit.

for the incorporation in the protocol

Withdrawal of the American troops

Francisco Villa after the Columbus
raid, and the patrolling of the border
by the respective armies of the United

Gen. Pershing shall bring his men

After the protocol was signed Sec
retary Lane issued statement detln-
ing to a certain extent the policy of

FlSHHOOK OF NEW DESIGN

Increased efficiency and serviceabil-

a tubular shank. provided with series

rod to which the line is connected

and provided with expansible resilient
fukes or prongs adapted to project

and the body OF the minnow is not
greatly mutilated. as the impaling
members extend through the body ad-
