! little girl is as cold and passionless as
a marble statue, and a model Of dis
erection. and a pattern of modesty. So
what's the use in warning a girl
against the things she couldn't pos
sibly want to do anyway?
This inability of the mother to real
ize that all girls are sisters under
the skin, with the same emotions, and
impulses. and desires, not only keeps
mothers from teaching their daugh-
tiers how to protect themselves against
themselves as well as against men,
but it prevents them from seeing
when a girl is in danger in time to
stop her and save her.
For in the curious mother psy-
| chology when ones own child does a
wrong thing the wrong Immediately
becomes right. Or at least innocuous
and harmless. Questionable relation
| ships become entirely proper. and con-
duct that in other girls would be de-
serving Of the severest censure be-
comes beyond criticism.
A curious illustration of this mother
point or view has recently come under
my observation. A beautiful and
brilliant young girl is carrying on a
violent filtration with a rich married
man. The mans automobile is at her
disposal. He makes her magnificent
presents. They are seen together con-
tinually at fashionable restaurants.
And incidentally the girl is breaking
up a home in which there are little
children and running another woman 6

! wife is naturally eating her heart out
In Jealousy Of her fair young rival.
A friend spoke to the girls mother
about it and asked her why she did
not put a stop to the affair and, at
least. do something to save her
daughter from being mixed up in an
unsavory scandal. The mother was
highly indignant. She declared that
nothing but the purest and most ex-
| allied friendship existed between her
daughter and the man, and nobody
except someone with an evil mind
could see any harm in a girl going
about with a poor man who was mis-
understood at home.
Indeed, she seemed to regard il as
a highly philanthropic action on her
daughters part to cheer the man up
by joy riding with him and going to
SdDdlGlS.
Yet that same mother would have
seen clearly enough the wrong in an
other girl sustaining such a relation
ship to married man. and the dan
ger to the girl herself.
Isn't 1t about time that mothers
walked up from their hallucination
that their children are different from
other peoples children. and are inn
mune from the weaknesses that be-
set other young people, and that their
children are special favorites with
Providence and will be miraculously
preserved from stumbling into the
pitfalls in which other young feet
fall?
1t isn't true. It is merely a dope
dream. born of fanatical mother love.
but 1t is the greatest obstacle that
there is in the way of the sane and
safe rearing O. children.

NECESSARY FOR U. S.
Vrooman Urges Restaurants to Pre-
vent Undernourishment.

Undernourishment of thousands of
the people of the United States prob
ably will result in the establishment
Of war restaurants and war food, says
Carl vrooman, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture.
Two months ago he reached this
conclusion, believing they would con-
stitute the only adequate way OF sup
plying palatable. nutritious, cheap
food to the average family. He has
been at work for several weeks on
details Of a plan TO establish such
restaurants and such food.
Millions of Americans have been
badly nourished," he said. MANY
have been seriously undernourished
during the last few months owing TO
the high -ost of food. The average
wage-earner or other citizen with a
small income has had to cut out OF
his diet most Of the meat, butter,
milk and cream and he has not made
UP for 1t by adding other foodstuffs
containing protein and fat in eQuiva-
lent quantities.
THE price of food is still high and
during the war may be expected to
remain higher than normal. During
the coming winter the average day
laborer, clerk or other person with
small income will find it almost i'm
possible to feed his family on nour-
ishing and palatable food unless, in
the first place. he learns just what
foodstuffs combine to the greatest
possible degree the three qualities ol

effort to secure these foodstuffs, al

LEGISLATORS OF COUNTY TO MEET
 TO DISCUSS FOOD
Will Seek Appropriation to Help Garry On Farming
 Work in This Vicinity
(Special to The Farmer )

Hartford, April 27-A meeting of the senators and representatives of Fairfield county has been called for Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Room 65, fourth floor of the state capitol. The meeting will discuss the proposition for an appropriation to encourage the raising of food pro- ducts in Fairfield county. Repre- sentatives of Hartford and New Ha- ven counties have already taken such action.
 The House today passed the amend ment to the charter of the Connec- ticut Co. permitting 1t to extend it's tracks through Water and Middle streets in Bridgeport.
 The act increasing the expense of maintenance of the state health de- pertinent from $5S,000 to $115,000 was tabled in the Senate today. The committee of appropriations has as yet taken no action on the matter.
 The bill limiting the number of remonstrants against a liquor license, defeated in the House last week was effectually killed in the Senate today. Consideration of the measure was in- definitely postponed. The bill pro- vided that in cities remonstrant against a liquor license must live within half a milo of the place where 1t was proposed to locate tho license. Tn more sparsely settled communities. the remonstrant must live within one mile of the place.
