OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
A Word to Mothers
BY Emile Hoffman.

sons. Here Is where the first encour-
agement should be given by the mother
Take. for instance, arithmetic. AZ
ter dinner when you want to read
give your eager little child a few
toothpicks or any object. for illustra-
ton. let us say. four. Let the child
group them in as many ways as pos
sible and write the result neatly upon
paper as they do at school. Every
school has it's own method.
The child will work quietly for some
time and you can read undisturbed.
Finally he will exultantly show you
the result. 1t will only take you a few
minutes to ask how much are three and
one, two and two, three from four, etc.
Ask quickly and continue until the an
swers come unhesitatingly. A child
thus taught will always know the COM
binations of four and later on this
easily learning those of IL. "a. etc
After s. few days. when the tours are
thoroughly impressed. take five objects
and proceed the same way Continue
thus with each number. Go slowly
and, knowing that practice makes per-
feet, you must always review. Insist
upon neat work and perfect figures
from the start and the pupil will never
do otherwise.
The average mother can surely take
this little time to assist a child in
arithmetic. and thereby lay a founda-
ton for n good mathematician.

MARY. can't you do that example

MARY. can't you do that example
for brothcr?'
The daughter obediently carried out
the mothers request, and brother
hastily copied the example, strapped
his books and contentedly sat down to
read his story. II he had been called
upon the next day to work the example
upon the blackboard he would have
been unable to do SO. to say nothing
of explaining it before the class. 1t
was problem that required little
thought, and the boy, knowing the
sister would come to his assistance,
made no effort whatever to solve it.
Such help does more harm than
good and that is the reason many
teachers object to home assistance.
Never do your children's school work
for them, but give as much time as
you can to helpful suggestions. In
mathematics it is necessary that the
child does its own thinking and rea-
soning. and If each step is made clear
this will be an easy matter TO the pupil.
The teacher, no doubt. would gladly do
this il the pupils came to her individ-.
ually, but in a class it is not possible,
and SO the child who Is slow at grasp
ing new idea gradually falls back
and. becoming discouraged. finally de-
velops into dull pupil. and this might
all have been avoided il little help
had been given at the start at home.

FRENCH UNDISTURBED
BY BOLSHEVIK PEACE
Think Treaty Instructive on
German Wishes.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE peace treaty
between the central powers and
Ukraine is not taken seriously in
French official or semi official circles,
first, because no one knows whether
1t will ever become effective and sec
ond, because, whether effective or not,
the people of Ukraine have not been
able under the present circumstances
to have their say.
The treaty, however, Is regarded as
very instructive as to what a German
peace may mean, and in this connection
it Is pointed out that the people of
neither contracting party have been
consulted; that the damages resulting
from the war are not to be indemni-
fled: that the Germans have carefully
avoided fixing the date for the evacua-
ton of the occupied territory; that the
central powers have reserved means
for furthering their imperial ambitions
in Asia: that they have virtually sup
pressed liberty of exchange. and that,
by excluding the republic of the
Ukraine, from the advantages of the
Austrian guarantees to Germany, the
treaty suppresses the idea Of the equal
ity Of nations.
ut is the beginning of an attempted
realization of middle Europe" gays the
Temps referring to the article i'm which
Ukraine is excluded from the ad-
vantages guaranteed by any one of the
coalition Of the central empires to an
other.

Feb. 11s-By The Associated Press
The tension along the British German
front Ia tightening. AS the extraordl-
nariiy bright, mild weather has con-
tinued to dry out the sodden fields, the
two great armes have become more
alert The inertia OF the days when
the western theater was held in tho
grip OF snow and impossible mud had
disappeared and the contending forces
are poised watching each other, like
duellists for the first move. which will
mean that the most sanguinary period
OF the war has begun.
Something seems bound to happen
before another month has passed. IL
The present weather holds. Indeed even
now the ground in some sections Is
quite fit for fighting.
Preparations Proceed.
The enemy continues to mako in
tense preparations for what has been
advertised as the great offensive"
German troops and guns keep pouring
into the western front, and there are
indications that a few Austrian units
are In Flanders.
Certain areas back OF the German
front have been cleared for action, and
daily bodies OF troops have been prac-
ticing attacks under the tutelage of
experts. Prisoners say that leave for
the soldiers was stopped January 20.
Playing Postum.
The enemy is playing possum or ig-
noring the military movements behind
the British lines and the British them
selves are sitting tight, saying little.
The silence is uncanny and it is por-

be said that everywhere there Is the
spirit Of optimism. Every soldier in
