Removing Childish Fears.

Fear is a matter of feeling and must
be reached through feeling, not by will
nor reason. If your child has fear of
some object and You wish to cure him,
two things are essential. You must
make the object familiar and you must
arrange for him to have pleasant as
sociations in connection with it. Any
fear treated in this way will rapidly

Of The NgAcnfes

From far-away Asia a cry
for help addressed to the wide world.
1t Is a cry made up of. many voices.
1t issues from the desert lands OF
Arabia, from the mountains of the
Russian Caucasus. from the highways
and byways of Turkey. of MesopO-
tamia. Of the Holy Land. The indi-
viduals who make up the great mass
o which comes this call to the civ.
ilized world are scattered far and
wide. 1t includes four hundred thou.
sand children In towns and cities and
villages or hiding like frightened rab-
bits In such shelters as they can find
In the open country; women. most Of
them gray and beyond the years of
loneliness. and others looking from
behind barred windows of the prisons
called harelns; old men and men dis
abled. and a few men still in the
prime Of life but hidden in mountains
and obscure places.
All these are joining in the cry that
comes to Us across the fertile lands
and the deserts of Asia. the war-torn
countries of Europe, the vast Atlantic
and across our own great continent
to the very ends thereof. 1t is n sad
Try. an agonized cry. made up of the
treble Of children, the soft voices of
women. the harsh bass of men and.

from four million thronts. yet has il
the ring of exhaustion. the frenzy of

says: This is the end; if help comes
not soon, we will call no mOre--fOr
the end will have come for us.
America Must Respond.

On Flag day in the year that the

Of NorfOlk's boys were lying In

they will stay until they are perhaps
replaced by more enduring and i'm

the people of Norfolk placed in the

for each boy, and it is named for him.
