Do You Know Your Son?'

Do you know your own son?
What foolish question" you re-
ply. "Of course I know my son"
Yes, every mother knows the
physical appearance of her son. but
few know the real boy-the mind
and soul which constitute your ac-
tual son, says Edwin Fuller in The
Mothers Magazine for September.
You know his looks, his habits, his
likes and dislikes, but do you know
the psychology, his mental processes
and the viewpoints which determine
his every act? The average parent
is as ignorant of this subject as the
laborer is of logarithms-and what
thinks he knows all about boy train
ing from the mere fact that he is
bringing up son.
Other parents may make manifest
mistakes in raising their sons but
the average parent believes that his
superior intuition qualities him for
the responsible ask of training his
son, even though he has never de-
voted a day to the study of his COM
plex subject nor evolved a definite
system of procedure for boy train
ling. Fathers, actuated by mascu-
lime egotism, err more frequently
and more deeply than mothers. 1t
lis characteristic of the psychology
of woman that the mother is more
willing to learn at least the rudi-
ments of a subject so vital to the
family life as the correct training of
her son.
The basis of all boy training is
parent training. The average par
ent is either unframed or under
trained in raising a son, First of
all, one must understand the men,
tai, processes of the boy at the sew
eral periods of his life. The boy at
six, ten, fourteen and eighteen years
is four different individuals as widely
and as markedly different as any
four. persons of your acquaintance.
He leads a DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
life during the four periods of de-
ivelopment, but fortunately for the
boy, these characteristics are success
siye and not concurrent.

DEMOCRATIC "HARMoNY"

TOR the first time since the days
n of Fritchey control a Sucker
has been chosen to a position of
responsibility in the affairs of the
Democratic party in Dauphin county.
Not that the Suckers have been
without power; far from it, but the
Mccormick influence has been too
strong for them in the machine.
The Suckers have the same fervid
love and intense admiration for the
Mccormick faction that the devil is
supposed to entertain for holy wa
ter. The choice of Charles Sucker
as county chairman is another illus
tration of the old adage that poll
tics makes strange bedfellows The
spectacle of the twain lying down
"harmoniously" together reminds
one of the story of the lion and the
lamb and curious public will watch
with interest to ascertain sby future
developments which turns out to be
the lion.

Will Cooperate

Now that press censorship has
broken out in fresh place, with
sundry new whereases, provisos and
conditions laid down by that enthu-
siastic exponent of loud silence, the
amiable Mr.. George Creel, we
hasten to express our perfect acqui-
escence in the new regulations. We
have not violated the old ones, but
we are ready to take Mr.. Creels
word for 1t that the old ones were
mo good" and when he thus takes
us into a corner and solemnly en-
joins us to keep silent we are glad
to assure him that we shall continue
to cooperate in the work of pre-
serving family secrets.
Inasmuch as this subject has been
brought up again, however, 1t seems
only fair and wise that one or two
suggestions should be made in the
interest of the public welfare, as
we'll as in vindication of the press.
Mr.. Creel says there have been re
peated and serious violations Ef the
voluntary censorship" and for this
reason he considers II, imperative to
make the restatement of ''neccs-
sary secrecies so complete and eX-
plicit as to leave no room for hon
est ignorance or dishonest evasion"
1t would be interesting to know to
what repeated and serious viola
tions" he refers. We were under the
impression that there had been very
few violations of Mr.. Creel's former
rules for young journalists" and
we have still to learn that any of
them have produced serious results.
We seem to remember that the only
bad break that has been made was
that of our guide, philosopher and
friend in translating the cryptic"
message of q plain sailorman into
the glowing language of romance

Is as yet no corpse ready for inter-

We have. as most Americans have,
a supreme confidence in our ability
ultimately to pry the Huns hold
loose, tear out his teeth and send
him whimpering home. But we
can't choke him with gold dollars
and we can't MAIN him with harsh
words. We've got to back our coin
with American genius for organiza
ton, American Industrial ability,
American bulldog tenacity and
American willingness for sacrifice in
a great cause. On those affairs in
Flanders we must put our lives as
we'll as our wealth, for neither will
be of much value to " unless we
win decisively this battle of the
giants.
We have no sympathy, however,
with alarmists who spread the doc
trine of German invincibility and
arouse the feeling that 1t is hope
less and useless to attempt to break
down the Kaiser's military machine.
The Teutons have dug themselves in
and with wonderful skill and bravery
they hold their lines. But, as we
pointed out recently, since Septem-

War Economy in the Kitchen

Do not serve butter at the same
meal with meat, says Jeanne Judson
in the Mothers Magazine for Sep
tember.
Learn to know the value of fat
meat and suet and how to combine
these meat products with other
things to make palatable dishes.
Do not use fresh milk or cream for
coffee or in cooking when timed
milk is quite as palatable and nutri-
tious, besides being free from disease
germs.
Learn to gauge the family appe-
tite so that there is sufficient for each
meal without waste.
Never cook or serve a dessert
which is for taste or show alone,
The dessert should be nutritious and
wholesome as we'll as palatable and
good to look at-a real addition to
the meal, not q frill.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS


THERE is no lack of encouraging
= signs amid the gloom of war for
those who will look for them.
Former Ambassador Gerard. in his
new book, first chapters of which
were made public yesterday. takes a
very pessimistic viewpoint, indeed,
but it must not be forgotten that his
expressed purpose is to arouse the
country to the seriousness of the
war" and with that point in view
he could not be expected to paint
a very rosy picture of the immediate
future. Elsewhere. however. there is
apparent a more hopeful attitude.
The speech of Lloyd George on
Saturday is an example. Reaching
a climax, after declaring that there
could be no peace without absolute
and complete victory over Germany,
the British premier says that mo
one in Great Britain, France, Italy
and Russia, or even in Germany and
Austria, has any idea how near we
are to-day to the summit of our
hopes"
This can mean only that Lloyd
George is confident the end of the
war is much closer than even those
much nearer the inside facts than
the public believe. This view closely
corresponds tofthe recently expressed
opinion of the close-mouthed General
Haig, who has told the world that
the Allies will win decisively on the
west front and that complete vic
tory" is assured.
Nor is this at variance with the
observations of our own General
Pershing, who yesterday wired the
London Times:
Spirit and morale of allied
armies splendid. General situa-
tion better than at beginning of
sb6yuid any ether 1eG year OF itr war Allies
fidence to complete victory.
In support of all this undercurrent
of confidence, expressed without
reservation by men of characteristic
reticence, is the assertion of Elihu
Root, just home from Russia, that
the erstwhile domain of the Car IS
on the way to become a full-fedged
republic, which means that Russia
will continue despite hardship, dis
organization and temporary defeat
on the side of the Allies.
Beneath all this there must be
more than ray of hope. The dis
position of both civic and military
authorities with respect to the war
has been so pessimistic that when
they go out of their way to predict
early and complete victory their
opinions must be given due weight
and consideration.
This. however, does not mean that
there should be any letting down of
effort and preparation in this coun-
try Quite the contrary. If early
victory is assured. it is all the more
important for haste here. in order
that we may be in at the death of
autocracy and be accorded the place
we should have at the peace table.

Crisis of Peril.

Nation stand back of the Executive

Government can do anything at all.

while the President under his general
Constitutional powers could do much

empower him to do, it had been found
that there were certain old statutes
as yet unrepealed which may raise in
superable practical obstacles and may
nullify his power.
The old law referred to by the
President was adopted by Congress in
1919, and referred to the resistance of
