BE HONEST WITH CHILDREN
Especially Pernicious Are the Foolish
Threats That Are Frequently.
Made by Parents.

Do not lie to children. They will
soon learn you are lying; you will lose
their confidence, and their respect for
you will be gone. When you tell them
fairy stories, let them understand they
are stories. Enjoyment Of the tales
will not be less. Some try to control
children by telling them they will be
whipped, thrown out of the window,
that the "bogy man" will catch them,
that they will be "sold to the rag
man." OF, the policeman will get them
and by making many other untrue,
senseless threats. The child soon dis
covers that none of these things Oc-
cur. He ceases to fear the threat and
becomes as disobedient as ever-per-
like dares to continue.
One bad threat often made to chill
dren is that the policeman will get
them and take them to Jail. Children
should be taught that the policeman is
friend, not an enemy. They should
be trained to know the policeman Is
one to guard them from harm and to
help them in trouble.
The evil of lie to a child cannot be
estimated. 1t does not correct the
child's behavior. One loses the child's
respect, and ones authority is conse-
quently weakened. A more serious re-
suit, however, is that the child learns
to lie. Any lie is an attempt to de-
celve and must have evil consequences,
both for oneself and the child to whom
the lie is told. One should never make
threat one cannot perform. Threats
are bad at the best. There are other
ways to accomplish ones purpose. If
you would keep your children honest
with you, be honest with them.

FANCY PRICE FOR GoULASH
Danish Merchant Plays Joke on Ger.
man Government and Makes Fat
Profit Out Of Deal.

A Danish merchant with a sense
Of humor as well as an eye for war
profits played a practical joke on the
German government, which gave rise
to the term "goulasher," as applied
to a person who has made vast sums
trading with the central powers.
This shrewd merchant entered into a
written agreement to deliver a con-
signment of canned goulash to the
German government. But he got an
especially fat profit because he made
an oral contract to fill the cans with
rubber instead of the beef stew.
No one knows how hard he tried
to carry out his agreement. If he
tried at all, his efforts were vain. At
least, after much delay, he shipped
the goulash cans across the Danish
border, and they reached their des-
tination in safety. But, much to the
chagrin of the chemists to whom
they were directed, each can con-
tanned just what it was labeled
goulash. The German government
had to pay the price for rubber.
