daggers at him when he admires a toy
gun let the child have his play and
he will be a better mar for it. What is
needed is not the hiding Of drums and
muskets, but the positive cultivation
of ideals of peace and humanity. More
over, at each stage of interest the play
of the child affords an opportunity to
formulate standards and ideals of con-
duct that should be seized and utilized.
1t is when he Is playing soldier that
the child ear learn the meaning of
loyalty and devotion and self-sacrifice
and fortitude, and these may remain
when the drum and tinsel are discard
ed for another character.

"Mona lisa.n

The celebrated painting, "Mona
Lisa" has two names, both of which
indicate to some extent its origin !:
First, "Mona Lisa" Mona being Italian
for Madonna means My Lady. Lisa,
who was the wife of francesca del
GiocOndO, a friend of the artist. Be-
sides this name, the famous picture
is sometimes called, "La GiocOnda,"
which Is the feminine of GiocOndO and
means wife of GiOcondO. Both names
indicate the origin Of the picture
which is really a portrait Of Madame
Lisa GiocOnda. In other words, it
was painted from life. Its fame rests
on the rare beauty of the face, its
wonderful technique or workmanship,
the fact that it is only existing exam
pie of Da Vinci's work in %pOrtraiture
and perhaps more than all upon the
indefinable expression which the ar
fist gave to the face, and especially
to a pair of sparkling eyes and a mys-

In the picture a shepherds check

And even if a decided style tendency
develops later on these suits will hold
their own, for they are built TO fulfill

The question of the moral effect of
im%personating the soldier Is very much
like the older question of what hap
pens to the actor who takes the part
Of the villain in the play. Should the
children's play be quite without Its
| villains or bad fairies? Then 1t Is in
complete and not sufficiently true to
life to be interesting, to be satisfying.
On the other hand, if the evil spirit Is
to appear, will it harm your child or
mine to play his role?
Experience shows that children may
play robber and pirate with great
gusto, and yet grow up to be upright
and hOnored citizens, and even judges.
In the same way it is quite possible for
children to play soldier, and then be-
come advocates of 'peace ut any price,
The literary editor of a well-known
woman's magazine, the editor OF an
educational magazine, and a prominent
minister, all told me that they had
ambitions toward a military career
not during childhood, but during late
adolescence. The editors both made
strenuous but futile efforts to get into
the West Point Military academy. and
the minister actually joined the army.
All three are now spending a consider
able portion of their time combating
militarism. And thousands of similar
cases can no doubt be found in all
parts of our population.
When there is SO much constructive
work hat may be done in the devel' p
ing of the child's character, the worry
about playing soldier seems n pitiful
waste of energy. 1t is a pity to snatrh

No one knows just why this state

One on the Judue.

A judge, who used to wear very long
waving hair and a heavy beard, one
day was on his way to court when he
was ~accosted by a little street boot
black, with an exceedingly dirty face,
with the customary 'Shine, slr?" He
was very importunate and the Judge
being impressed with the terrible
state of the boys face, said: II don't
want a shine, but if you'll go and wash
your face, I'll give you %sixpence."
"All right, SIR" swell, let me see you
do It," The boy went to a neighbOr.
ing fountain and made his ablutions.
Returning, he held out his hand for
the sixpence. The judge said: "Well,

Therefore, the scientists argue, the sun
is too hot to burn.
What then, they ask, causes its
heat? Here the wise men fall to quar-
reling, some asserting that radioactiv-
ity is the secret of the suns warmth,
while others maintain that the heat re-
suits from pressure brought about by
the contraction of the suns mass about
its own center of gravity. The latter
theory boasts of the more a~dherents,
but 1t is by no means established as a
fact. Indeed, when submitted to the
test of mathematics, there seems to be
a fatal objection, for, by a long and
complex calculation the contractionists
estimate the suns age at 17,OOO,O 900
years; but as geology tells us the earth
is older than this, the sun would then
be younger than the earth, an obvious
impossibility.-Robert F. Wilson, in
