Dear Miss Grey: I am
father, sorely disturbed. A
few nights ago | spanked my
1e-year-old daughter. 1t hap
pened this way: Some school
girls were with her and | over
heard them making foolish
conversation about the boys. |
have forbidden her to indulge
in such silly chatter. so | went
into the room, took her across
my knee and spanked her.
Then | sent her friends home.
To day she came home cry
ing and says those girls told
about the incident and the boys
and girls at school are laugh
ing at her, and she Is humili-
ated. Now l feel very strong
ly on the subject of a girls
conduct and / believe unless
she is Inundated the effect of
the punishment will wear off.
l love my child and If harm
should come to her it would
kill me. want to do my duty,
and l will appreciate it IL you
will tell me what you think.
FATHER.
To protect your daughter from
evil is your duty. But you are
not using the best method. In
fact, you are using the means
which would drive some girls into
the very thing you are trying to
avoid.
The fact that the state does not
permit corporal punishment in
the schools should prove to you
that il is wrong. Your daughter
of 16 is a woman rather than a
child. By whipping her and
needlessly making her a subject
of ridicule you destroy her self
esteem and defraud her Of her
rightful rank among her school
mates.
1t is a much better way to cOun-
sci with her about the kind Of
you admire and teach her
the moral issues of life. Make
her a strong self-rcliant woman,
doing right, not because she fears
but because her
knowledge gives her a sane judg-
ment.

told me why he was angry.

Dear Miss Grey: I would
like to give my view of the let
ter Mrs. l. X. S. wrote In re-
gard to the war movies being

Oregon young man who cut off
his finger to prevent going to
war.
Well, I am a veteran of the
South African war and have
enlisted in the Canadian army
for the duration Of the war
and | think that fellows like
him should cut off their heads
instead of their fingers, and
Uncle Sam would be much
better off. II men like that
are so anxious to see the allies

there will be no room for the
likes of them when those of us
that are spared come back.

Let Uncle Do Ii!

Whatever criticism may be deserved by the fuel
administration, the remedy proposed by Senator
lodge is not the one to be adopted. He would turn
over coal regulation to Secretary Lane and Chair
man Frank Peabody Of the Coal Committee of the
Council of National Defense.
Lane is popular with the owners of coal mines be-
cause he advocated threedollar price at the mouth
Of the mine, when President Wilson's experts had
reported that two dollars gave handsome profit.
Frank Peabody is head of one of the biggest coal
mining and retailing companies in the Middle West.
He and his company recently have been investing
their profits in new coal lands thruout the South
Lodge is quite right in his statement that the pub
lie did not get coal, either at cheap price or in
sufficient quantities. To that extent the fuel adj
ministration failed.
The answer, however, is contained in an official
document which was filed with the senate and
brought to the attention of Senator Lodge in the
hot days of last August 1917. Then it was that the
federal trade commission, after thOro investiga-
ton of the coal and coal carrying situation report
ed that the one way to avoid coal famine during
the coming winter was to pool all coal as it came
from the mouth of the mine.
Also to pool all coalcarryng facilities of the rail
roads,
Also to operate the coal producing and distribut-
ing industry under the direction OF the government.
The report states that unless this was done at
once there would be cold homes and that the serious
business of war industries would be interrupted.
This report by Commissioners Colver and Davies
was as prophetic as the Book Of Prophets It was
prophetic in the same way that the mathematician
prophesies that two lines which not parallel will
meet if continued.
The answer is not as Senator Lodge suggests, to
surrender the coal and its profits to the Peabodys
and other operators. The answer is for Uncle Sam
to step in and handle the thing in time
