Children and Untruths.

Why do children lie? Edwin S. Put Ter in the Mothers Magazine answers the question by saying that the imagi- nation of child is stronger than his intellect, that fiction Is as real to a child as fact.
 "I'he cure for lies inspired by imagi- nation. he asserted, 'is the education of the child'S intellect to distinguish between fact and fancy. As his error is mental, not normal. his cure must be mental II would he a grave error of training to attempt to suppress his imagination as Il cure for his untruthS. Imagination is the handspring which moves his mentality to growth, hence il should he directed into rational channels and not curbed.

To Train New Armies.

According to army gossip Major James B. Gowen, commander of Fort Roots, and Major Naylor, senior in structor of the training camp, may be adjutants of divisional camps where the national armies will train. The officers, according to recent news dispatch from Washington, have been detailed for service with the adjutant generals department, Washington, D. C., at the close of the training camp here, an1 while they may be sent any where, either here or in Europe. the fact that 16 officers were chosen for the department at the same time makes plausible the belief that they may be intended as adjutants for the Is national army camps.
