I know of no surer method Of
bringing to the attention Of the War
Department a most deplorable con-
dition of affairs in Alexandra than
through your most interesting and
useful column and therefore beg that
you will accord me a little space. In
this city there arc certain seH-ap-
pointed saviors Of the souls Of both
soldiers and civilians who are play
ing (unwittingly, / believe) directly
into the hands Of the Kaiser by en-
forcing obsolete laws that forbid the
sale of ice cream, soda water, cigars,
cigarettes, ETC., on Sunday, causing
a marked degree Of discomfort among
the hundreds of soldiers who visit
this city from nearby cantonments
on the Sabbath. It has grieved me
to hear these young men damn in
most emphatic language Alexandra
in particular and Virginia and the
South in general because Of the IA
natical ideas of a small minority Of
the residents Of this city. Nothing
should be done to create discomfort
among the boys who are being train
ed to go overseas, and it is up to the

men fail at the job" he went on,
sis because they have not the
natural gift of fatherhood, and
either will not or don't know how
to cultivate it. Most men who
marry expect to have children, and
are full of theories and plans as to
the raising of them, but when the
child actually arrives, and they
find all their ideas and suggestions
overruled at first by feminine au-
thority, and later by the self
willed, autocratic mite itself which
they are proposing to train, they
speedily become discouraged.
"As a matter of fact" he said
soberly, they are esssying the
hardest, most thankless task in the
world with practically no school
ing or preparation for it. The
father, as most households are
constituted, is the source of sup
ply. his tine, MS energy, MS
whole mind must be given up to
his business. His brief hours at
home, when he is tired out and his
mind still engrossed with business
problems, hardly give him an OPP
portunity to become acquainted
With his children, much less 70 es-
tablish that reapprochement and
spirit of mutual understanding
which is the ideal relationship be-
tween parent and child.

my advice to this wife and to
all wives" my friend paused
thoughtfully a moment, "would be
constantly to hold up the absent
husband to the children as a model
of all the virtues and as a person
to be loved. Never let him be crit
icised or called to account before
them. Never let them be threat
ened with him. Paint him as all
that is good and noble and gener-
Gus. Make them love him. And
since love always begets love, and
there is nothing so irresistible as
the love of a child,i the hardest,
most selfish or self-centered man
in the world can be made into a
real father.
There was a letter published
recently as an editorial in the
Hearst papers which I wish every
father and mother in the world
could read. 1t was from a father
whose only son had fulfilled his
every hope and is now a splendid
boy of twenty-scven fighting in
France, and the writer made it
plain that this result had been at
tanned wholly through an absolute,
loving cooperation between him
self and his wife"
