TALK IT OVER WITH CHILD
Discussion Of Problems Of Conduct Is

eminent.

A parent who has not tried to
solve problems of conduct by dis
cussion with his children has not
governed them in the best way.
Again, a parent who has not learned
to restrain his own views on ques-
ton affecting the members of the
family while he listens to the views
of his children has missed the great
est pleasure to be derived from being
a parent. Anyone who is not an
autocrat will find only delight in OBJ
serving how his children's minds
work OH the difficulties which are
encountered in the management of
The home. He will be exhilarated
when he sees how their views enlarge
every day as they develop, and how
they gradually get their selfish de-
sires under control SO that they can
appreciate and observe principles of
right and justice and fair play
themselves and insist upon others
observing them. A parent who is a
bully never can get an insight into
his children's thoughts about con-
duct and so he can never know what
fine sport it is to be a parent

ITALY LIKES BASEBALL
Most Recent Victim of National
Pastime Germ.
Football Popular as Well as Diamond
sport-FaVored by Military
Leaders.

New York.-One of the curious ef-
fects of the war Is the international
interest which has been aroused in
American sports. Italy apparently is
the most recent victim of the baseball
germ, according to DR.. Felice FerrerofA
director of the Italian bureau of inS
formation in this city.
Football, as played in America. as
well as the national game of this coun-
try, also has taken hold of the popular
interest in Italy. The Gazetta dello
Sport, one of the most influential sport
journals of that country, is raising a
fund for the purchase of baseballs,
bats and footballs and the distribu-
ton of prizes among the soldiers to
stimulate competition.
General Pennella, commander of the
Second Italian army, in letter to the
Gazetta dello Sport, says that football
and baseball games are of inestimabIe
value In the training for war. He
praises the initiative of the Gazetta
dello Sport and says that he firmly be-
lleves that the stimulation of baseball
and football competition among the
various units of the Italian army will
have the most gratifying and impor-
tant results in maintaining the morale
of the troops. General Pennella is eS
pecially pleased with baseball as an
aid to training and the maintenance Of
the morale of the troops.

IN LIFE's sILENcES.

Character comes by doing what
ought to be done and resisting what
ought not to be done, when no out
slider is looking. 1t l. quito true,
and happily true, thai life is not
lacking in the inspirations thai com,
from the sense of being observed, or
in the restraints imposed by thu real
lied concern of watchful well-wish-
ers. It is a blessed aid over hard
places that in the nick of need some
one is looking on to say an encour-
aging word. 1t is a blessed cheer
through dark places that a warning
voice reminds of lurking danger.
But for such timely voices many Of
us would have yielded to temptation,
to our hurt and loss. Nevertheless,
character gets fixed in the silences of
life, when no man is near, when no
voices either to warn or to cheer are
heard save only the voice within.

how many members has the club in

swer that. But in both there is good
reason to believe it's membership is
growing steadily. For a time one of
the clubs newspaper organs, the
Slovenski Gospodar Of Marburg, was
bold enough to print letters from SOL

when the censor forbade that, it met
the prohibition by a weekly column
of answers to letters it's was not
permitted to print. AS, "To. 80, of
the 47th Regiment: We dare not pub

envelopes it that is absolute.

But after recent mutiny at Cattaro,
a search of the ships affected yielded
both pictures of DR.. Korosetz and
