Belgium Reckons Up
Bill For Hun Pilage

Washington, ID. Gu. Oct. 21.-The
Belgian government already has
taken steps to compute the enormous
total of the damage done to prop
erty in Belgium by the Germans dur
ing their occupation of the country,
said a cablegram received to-day by
the Belgian Legation.
The Council of Ministers met at
Havre and adopted measures for ver-
flying claims for damages to civilian
and public property. These will be
employed as a means for determining
the total compensation to be demand
ed from Germany.
The assembly also discussed meas
ures for insuring the resumption of
the circulation of Belgian coinage in
the liberated territory. and decided on
various notifications. of the COM
munal law to meet the changes in the
internal situation due to the Ger
man evacuation.
"In order to demonstrate its graft
tude and admiration for the army"
the message adds, "the Assembly
took under consideration a plan
which would greatly increase the
compensation to the families of the
militia"

The quickest way of spelling a
child is to give foolish commands.
So if you want your child to be
disobedient, careless. lazy and dis
respectful, just give some foolish
commands. Let us consider just
few.
A mother writes to me:
II certainly had a terrible time
with Chester this morning. He
took his shoes and stockings off to
go barefooted when it was too chilly.
! told him to put them back on as
quick as he could. He refused,
saying, No, I don't want to- AS
punishment for refusing, had him
stand in one Corner of the room.
But he would not remain there un-
less l stayed right with him and
made him. Whippings 1 found only
make him worse. What should L
have done?"
After your boy refused to do one
thing, it was very unwise to COM
mand him to do another. This
method is very often used but as
a rule it does much more harm
than good. The trouble with it is
that you are working against the
child instead of with him. You
antagonize him. And the moment
you seem to combat your child, he
Immediately takes up arms against
you.
The less time that you spend in
combat with your child, the better

lit will be for you. You can be
| firm without losing a bit of your
friendship. And by showing a calm
attitude, you will secure much better
results than if you allow your tenn
per to go uncontrolled.
A better policy to adopt when
your boy refuses to obey a COM
mand, instead of commanding him
| to do other things is to quietly ap-
proach him and when he stands
directly in front of you, give him
one more chance to obey the origi-
nal command. Say in very low
voice, looking him straight in the
eye, You probably will not want
me to deprive you of some privilege
that 1 have planned for you next
sugsested "S after SH nGG saying ngo this i
it is up to the boy to decide his own
fate. If he goes, all good and well;
If he does not, make it point some
minutes later, after his mind and
blood have resumed normal state,
to announce that you are sorry but
that he will not get to go with you
to such and such a place on cer-
tain day. And don't change your
mind about it at the last minute.
Simply talk about his not being able
to go in a matter -of-fact way sug
gesting that you hope you can take
him next time.
Parents so frequently put them
selves into a box by issuing thought
less commands. How often we hear
mothers say to their children, sit
down and be quiet minute" when
other children in the same company
are up and acting! They never
suggest anything to occupy their
hands or minds, while sitting
simply a foolish command, that's
all.
Equally foolish is the command,
Come here" when a child is run
ming away from you. 1t never is
obeyed (unless the child has had
special training) and so giving the
, command weakens your influence in
the future.
Perhaps two of the most common
kinds of foolish commands are the
half-hearted command and the re-
peated command. Some mothers
have the habit of issuing commands
while talking to another person and
in moment seem tn forget that
they had requested anything at all.
Others give a command and feel it
is necessary to keep repeating it,
Come in now. Hurry up, quickly;
Charles, l said, hurry. Come to
Mother Is it any wonder we have
so many disobedient children?
