Thomas Stevens Commit, Suicide.

Thomas Stevens, well-to-do farm
err living near Linden, took his own life
early Tuesday morning, by shooting.
Mr.. Stevens went out early that morn
ing after the COWS, but did not return.
His family was alarmed by his failure
TO return and started search. When
the unfortunate man was found he was
dead
MIR. Stevens had been very despond-
emit for some time because of the fact
that he was one Of the men drafted for
the army. and it is supposed that this
is what caused him to commit the rash
deed. he leaves wife and sixyear-
old son.

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 at 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.

TURNING LIGHT ON THE SUN
Scientific Explanation That At First
Seems Q Little Paradoxleal to the
Average Layman.

Some Of the scientists connected
with the Smithsonian institution In
Washington have been throwing light
on the sun. Paradoxical as this may
seem, II Is not more paradOxical than
their discovery that the sun Is not a
burning ball because 1t Is too hot to
burn!
They explain II in this way: At 5000
DEGREES centigrade. almost all chemical
compounds can neither exist nor form.
without chemical compounds you can
not have combustion. Thus, wood is
a chemical compound. When II burns,
the combustion Is merely the process
Of oxygen and other air elements unit
Ing with the elements In the wood.
which In turn are rearranging them
selves into new compounds. At 6,OOO
degrees Of heat, matter can exist only
In Its basic elements, such as carbon.
potassium and the like, nor will the In
tense heat permit these elements to
unite to form cOmbustible compounds.
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 radioactive
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 adherents,
but II Is by no means established as a
fact. Indeed, when submitted to the
test Of mathematics, there seems to be
q fatal objection, for. by long and
complex calculation the cOntractionists
estimate the suns age at 100000
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 #. Wilson. In

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Shall You Let Your Children
"Play SoIdier7"
ARE DRAMATIC BY INSTINCT
~ sIooNIe N. oRUCNBCRo.

Dy eiooNIe N. GUTENBERG.
TN TIMES of peace many Of US can
] visualize the horrors Of war clear
ly enough to make rs oppose every
thing that encourages militarism. But
with half Of the civilized world bleed
ing, the horrors are before the minds
of all Of us constantly. and we are
moved to do something more effective
than shutting our eyes. We realize
the Importance Of intoxicating In the
young a type Of patriotism that Is free
from aggressiveness or jingoism. Con-
fident Of our patriotism, we turn our
attention to q crusade against mill
tary" toys and the playing Of soldiers
by the children.
There is, Of course, no use In over
stimulating children In these plays.
Nothing Is to be gained by urging a
more lively interest In details Of mill
tary campaigns or In making the chill
dren more familiar with the instru-
ments Of destruction. But neither is 1t
wise to forbid to boys the playing Of
soldier.
When boys play soldier 1t Is in re-
Spouse to two facts which cannot be
entirely removed. The child, at q GER
tain age, will not only initiate what he
sees going on around him, but he will
dramatize all the activities Of which he
learns. This instinct Is there II the
child Is normal, and any outside regu-
lation, to be effective, must consist not
Of rules regarding what may or what
may not be played, but 1t must take the
form Of selecting all the ideas that are
to enter the chlld's mind. This is Oh
viously an impossible task. With all
his devices and resources, the father Of
the Buddha failed In his efforts to keep
from the child all knowledge Of suf-
fering and death. Nor can We hope to
keep our children long In ignorance OF
suffering and death. or war and muir
der. or robbery and other crimes. And
whatever they learn they will incOr-
porate In their plays Just as certainly
as they have an opportunity to play
at all.
FOrbtdding certain types OF play VIII
not modify the natural impulses to
initiate and to dramatize. Neither will
II destroy the child's natural interest
In the unusual and In the dramatic"
On the contrary, forbidding is one of
the surest ways OF arousing interest,
one Of the surest ways Of tempting to
action.
But even II we could prevent the
children's participation In these mimic
paradings and warnings. II Is very
doubtful whether II would be worth
while to do 80. The injury that may
come from playing soldier has been
exaggerated. The fact II that children
do all their playing. at least during
the years before adolescence. entirely
without prejudice. They are alter
nately Indians and Puritan Pilgrims ;
they impersonate the parish priest or
Captain Cook with equal sincerity and
abandon. When they enact a stage
robbery there Is no moral implication
In the assignment Of roles, and as

The perfect nalvete Of the child In
adopting the character which he Is.

invented the character; he had mere
ly adopted him from the book they had
been reading In school.
The question Of the moral effect Of
impersonating 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 fairiesf Then II Is In

he will be better man for 1t. 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 can learn the meaning Of
loyalty and devotion and self-sacrifice
and fortitude, and these may remain
