Impious Act Punished.

A gruesome story of century ago
Is told Of an occurrence in one of the
vaults beneath Westminster abbey. A
member of party of revelers engaged,
on a wager, to enter the vaults at
midnight, and in proof of his having
done SO, to stick fork in n coffin that
had recently been deposited there. He
accomplished his object and was re-

Change Proposed in Game Law.

An effort is being made by w. B.
Fraser, state game and fish commits
sioner, to make hunting seasons ap-
plcable to different regions in Colo
rado, according to local conditions and
altitude. To this end bill is to be
introduced in the Legislature which
Is said to have the Endorsement OF
many sportsmen. Game and birds are
injured by the fact that the laws de-
clare an open season at a fixed time
in every county. Young ducks, for ex-
ample are ready to kill Sept. l near
Denver, while in the higher attitudes
they are just getting their pinfeathers.
Grouse, prairie and sage chickens also
hatch at different times, according to
the altitude. Scarcity of sage chick
ems, which are becoming extinct as
rapidly as the wild turkey, has led to
discussion that may result in legisla-
tion to close the season on these
birds. Under the law, the open season

h0RE THAN RULES NECESSARY
Telling Child Your Parental Precepts

oestions-He Should Be In

BY sIDoNIE M. GRUENeERe.

TT IS no wonder that mothers become
! bewildered. There are SO many
things to keep in mind in order to do
the right thing by your children. There
are all the rules about bathing and
clothing and feeding the dears; there
are all the rules about toys and exer-
else and play, and there are all the
rules about punishment and manners
and keeping your temper. 1t is all
very distracting.
The trouble with many Of us is that
we try so desperately to get the rules.
And the danger is that we often get
no more than the rules. With all the
new ideas and suggestions crowding
upon us, the conscientious mothers
seek the earliest opportunity to apply
the new methods. But in too many
cases we remember the formulas and
repeat them as we think aloud about
u new situation.
David" said one of these conscien-
tious but bewildered mothers, "it is
very important for you to acquire hab-
its of punctuality. So do not linger
on the way to school," OF course, we
know what she meant and that she
meant well. But she was still too con-
scious of remote purpose in the
childs character to translate this pur-
pose Into the most effective conduct.
So far as the child Is concerned, he
needs merely to be impressed with the
Importance of coming to school on time
and not with the Importance of his
'habits of punctuality." He needs
merely to be assisted In forming the
desired habits and not worried about
his moral salvation. When the moth
er's purpose has become thoroughly as
simulated her attention will be upon
the things to do and not upon the
things to say.
The problem for the mother thus be-
comes one of assinilating valuable
idens until they become parts of her
habitual attitude, instead of being re-
membered rules or mechanical tricks.
Cousin Elsie was not able to button
her CATERS herself. and Cousin Ellie

she observed, II thought all little girls
learn to button in the Montessori."
Which advertised not only the fact
that she was in the Montessori class,
but also the further fact that her moth
er talked about the matter in the pres
ence of the child. The child was no
doubt learning great many useful
things in this class. But in addition

there on the stage were the very actors
who had made the picture continuing
in person the action that was being
shown on the screen. Surprise is one
of the most essential elements Of COM
edy, but it fell fiat. Why? Because in
the closeup full faces that were being
shown on the screen the audience
could see clearly the subtle shades
of facial expression that were getting
the laugh. while on the stage In per-
son their faces were merely white
blur to all but those in the front
seats.
Another advantage of the movies
over the stage for comedy purposes Is
that the picture-maker does not have
to resort to artificial or mechanical
tricks. To be funny. scene must
be natural, the actor must seem re-
laxed and unconscious of his audience.
If the movie director wants to show
an absent-minded butterfly hunter
walking into a waterfall, he shows
real waterfall with n real sylvan back
ground. He doesn't have to use
painted drop and stream of water
that flows evenly from pipe. He
uses no props. no matter how many
different scenes he may want to show
in n single comedy"
Mr.. Sennett believes enthusiastically
in the movies. "There must be some
thing wonderful" he says. about the
business that can develop in half
generation into the third largest indus
try in the country" And this man who
has a genius for packing five laughs
into a situation where only one laugh
grew before feels that making people
happy, besides being lucrative occu-
patton, is a serious mission.

of the world" he told the writer So
berly. "Only the other day received

"People sometimes ask me what
screen comedians are like outside the
studio. whether there's any truth in
the myth that those whose business 1t
is to make others laugh are usually
gloomy individuals themselves. As far
as I've observed, film comedians are
like other people. only perhaps the
large salaries they receive make II
easy for them to laugh in and out of
the studio"
And with triply hearty laugh the
director-scenario-wri Macklyn
Sennett bounded out Of his chair to
plunge energetically into the rehearsal
of n scene that will soon make millions
laugh.

she was learning-from her mother
a great many formulas about what chill
dren should and should not be taught.
There is no use making the child
conscious of your purpose in the vari-
Gus problems of his development that
you have undertaken to solve. Nor
need he be instructed in the various
devices that you plan to use in his up
bringing. 1t is enough that you use
suggestion and good example, that you
moderate your voice to suit the occa-
sion and manifest indignation at the
right time. But the child should be
concerned only with the results, not
the mechanism.
You encourage the children to play.
There are many good reasons why you
should. But you do not use any of
these reasons as part of the induce
ment. You do not say, for example,
