- MAKING THE MOST OF -

No. %. Is Mother-instinct Enough?
By Ray c. Beery, ABB, MA.
President of the Parents Association.

Mother love and mother instinct
are powerful and take the place of
actual knowledge of right method in
many cases, but mother instinct
alone is not enough. Natural i'm
pulses are not always right.
One mother writes to me:
My three-year-o daughter
has begun to be saucy. When I
command her to do things, she
sauces me back. I have often
told her not TO talk back to me.
But she is so determined. Did
l not do the right thing"
Yes, you did the right thing. but
perhaps not at the right time. And
perhaps not in the right manner.
The impertinent child needs to be
told not to talk back, but few par
ents understand how to tell him in
really effective way. 1t is natural
to scold, which is worse than to be
silent. 1t is also natural to speak
to the child the instant after the Of
fense, but this is not the right time.
When your child talks back" say
nothing at all for at least few Sec
onds after she has spoken. To wait
two or three minutes is still better.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

HAD NOT SHOWN HER ENOUGH
ATTENTION
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Lam 10 and last winter went out a
few times with a man of 81. For the
last few months 1 haven't been out
with him. but talked over the phone
quite few times. Last week he call
ed me up and told me he was
leaving for camp the next week and
asked me whether I would like to
have dinner with him. l accepted the
invitation. At the dinner table he
made it clear to me that he would like
me to wait for him. l told him he
had not shown me enough attention
for that, but when he returned from
the war If there were no obstacles in
the way our friendship could be re-
newed. AS I have no mother or sis
ters would you advise me if 1 did the
right thing?
E. F.
You neglected the highly important
detail as to whether you cared about
the young man or not. But I suppose
as long as you gave him some encour-
agement, you are at least interested.
Your answer to him strikes me as ex-
tremely prudent-almost too prudent
for any deep feeling. Perhaps you
will learn to care more for him while
he is away.

To secure gold for my work was
most difficult. The government had
taken charge of the gold refineries
and allowed only a small amount to
be distributed each week. Repre-
sentatives of the various arts and
professions using gold had to stand
in line in the hope of being allotted
small share, and very often only
those who were fortunate enough to
be in the front part of the line got
| what they wanted, the others, after
remaining in line, perhaps for hour
had to leave with nothing to show
for their pains.
l found a simpler method I sent
several large cakes of chocolate
at 81 per pound-every week to the
girl who had charge of the gold
counter and every week she set
aside a certain amount of gold for
me and afterwards sent it to me by
registered mail. This was not a
particularly safe method, as even
! the registered mail was being con-
stantly robbed, and one considered
himself lucky if twenty-five per cent.
of the packages mailed to him ar
rived.
Horses were gradually disappear
ing from sight when 1 left early
this year. One saw them lying
about the streets where they

wasted. The fire department was
constantly called upon to help
fallen horses to their feet.

couldn't get much work out of him
without beating him. Rather than

The farmer glowered at her,
started as if to speak, then thought
better of it and went on upstairs
without another word.
Going out on the veranda, the

she gazed out across the broad
meadow lying between the house

Elizabeth's own unhappiness made

His voice broke. Elizabeth was

sobs at the death of his dog.

turned back into the house. She

RURAL SCHOOLS CLOSED.

Saturday evening County Super
intendent Ella NJ. Stearns received
official notice from the state superin-
tendent. a. NJ Deyoe. that the state
board of health had ordered all the
rural schools of the state closed as
well as the town schools during the
continuance of the influenza. Miss
Stearns sent out notice to this effect
to the rural school directors imme-
diately. Since the quarantine by the
state board is indefinite, it is impos
sible to state how long the doors of
the schools will remain closed. In
the case of the rural schools the loss
will be small since the majority of
the schools had either closed or in
tended to do so this week for the
corn husking vacation. The teachers
will suffer no financial loss for the
districts are held liable for their
salary on the unexpired contract un-
der section 27S2, note where schools
are closed by boards of health. 1t
is to be hoped that the menace to
health will have passed away before
the expiration OF the corn husking
vacation, so that the children may
not lose too much of their school
year

paused and looked through the door.

captain and first officer and seven
men. II was quite a spacious cham

accommodate all those necessary to
navigate the boat under water. A
ladder led upward to the coming
tower above a bench ran along one
side, but for the rest the furnishings
of the central station were all me-
chanical. Dials, valves, gyroscope
compass, manifolds, steering and div

brain of the craft. Every activity
was controlled from this white-walled
light-flooded chamber. and from il
wires and pipes led forward and aft
like nerves. Two gunner's mates were
al the big brass wheels controlling
the diving rudders. while in front of
them a gauge indicated the boats
depth. Their duty. explained Mar
tin was to keep the submarine on an
even keel and at the depth ordered
by the navigating officer by means of
the forward and aft diving rudders.
Near them a mechanic presided over
the aid and water manifolds of the
ballast and trimming tanks. A fourth
man was in charge Of the Kingston
valves which flood the main ballast
tanks during submergence. A steers
man was at the wheel TO the left of

stood by the Number Two periscope
ready for duty.

PREPARE FOR THE SHOCK or
PEACE.

Two bills have been introduced in
congress seeking to prepare for the
industrial shock of peace which many
men see coming. The time is here
for wage workers to get ready for
the readjustment when munition
factories are closed and the boys
come marching home again The
war may not be over but the war is
caving in. One thing is as likely 10
happen as another.
When Russia collapsed rifle fac
tory in the United States threw s.
600 employees out of work the next
morning. They had been working
on Russian contract but their jobs
vanished the moment the need for
rifles ended. There are 100000
people in the United States today
working in war munitions of some
kind. The moment peace is declared
work will stop on war munitions
and 100000 people will have to
seek other jobs. II may come in
the winter or later but when it does
come it will come without warning
When war is at an end it will be
many months before the troops over
seas can be returned but it will re-
quire only few weeks 10 muster
out the 100000 now modified in
the training camps. These men will
be seeking work within thirty days
from the time they are demobilized.
Factories will turn to reconstruc-
tion work, to he sure. Exhausted
supplies of civilian goods must be
replenished and construction work
resumed which has been suspended
but there will be a lapse of time
during which REIMBURSEMENT is TAX
ing place and unemployment for
will come at time when
the cost OF living is very high.
Are the war wage earners of to-
day getting ready for the shock of
peace that is to come? Are they
leaving their old jobs that are sure
to last after the war and are they
chasing the temporary high wage of
the war work? Are they saving
money to tide them over periods of
unemployment?
When peace comes war work must
stop. The factory owner will be pro
.ected from loss for the government |
must take the goods he has and buy |
MS raw material and pay for the |
he has installed. but the |
gorkmen must take care of them !
selves. Are they doing it, Are they !,
putting enough of their war wages
nto savings stamps to take care of
hem while they find other jobs?
