The Child Who
Doesn't Mix

In every neighborhood there is one
child who doesn't get along we'll with
his playmates, nd in every school
there are several.
There is scarcely q person in the
more to be pitied than this child who
doesn't mix. He doesn't understand
at all why others dislike him, and the
harder he tries to make an impression
the more trouble he makes for him
self.
Usually there is very good reason
why this child is Stunned, for children
In general are both generous and just
They are almost never unkind with
out very good reason.
The peculiarities of the different
child are what first single him out for
comment.
Perhaps you have thoughtlessly or
ignorantly dressed your child either
too well or too ill, and thus made him
conspicuous. This excites ridicule.
Perhaps there is some physical de-
feet, limp or a lisp which differen.
tiates him from his fellows and tempts
mimicry.
1t may be that his manners have
received too much or too little atten-
ton at your hands and you may be
sure his small companions will set out
to correct either fault.
Again, 1t may be in some instinct of
the child himself. He may be vain and
braggart; he may be given to teas
ing to the point of cruelty; he may be
abnormally shy; he may be untruth.
full or be may be snobbish.
There is another type of child who
holds himself aloof and never seems
to understand or to be understood by
his playmates, and that is the child
who has been reared In the company
Of older people and who has breathed
the atmosphere of books and grownup
conversation until he really can not
get another, child's point of view.
Such child seems mysteriously to
skip childhood and grow, old before he
is twelve. 1t is an unfortunate thing
and q crime against the child.
He should have brothers and sisters
or at least enough small friends from
babyhood to take c-re OF that part of
his education. 1853

mates don't assume that 1t is because
he is an unusual-a superior child.
There is fault somewhere, and IL
isn't with the playmatos.
Look into the matter and see what
you can do.

In dress that's either too long or too

that dress.
If the youngsters are making fun Of
some physical defect which can not be
helped, encourage your child to bear
comment good naturedly till the other
children get used to him.

Synopsis Of Previous Chapters.


The whole Ladd family living at 81
Teak street, Philadelphia, are much
concerned over the strange family who
have moved into No. 23, next door. The
cause of their apprehension lies in the
fact that a number of mysterious rob-
berries have occurred recently and evil
dence points to their having been COM
mitted by persons of unusual strength.
The new neighbors have aroused sus-
pitions by several exhibitions of re-
markable strength in moving their
household goods. Jack Ladd is much
concerned because he has seen his
father going in and out of No. 23 af-
ter dark and yet he tries to keep Mrs
Ladd from knowing this.

Smith, straight from the Outside. He broke ali speed records in making the last stage of his journey in order to arrive in time to see the series of games. He made the field just before the game was called, and for a while was the busiest man on the grounds. The game was started shortly after four
 Both teams started clouting the pill in the opening stanza, and from then on there were men on bases most of the time. Nenana held a slight lead until the sixth, when Fairbanks came from behind and tied the score, to 8. Many loyal followers of the game are very 1 hoarse today as a result of their ! frantic efforts to spur their par ticular team to break the tie and ease the strain. Nenana turned the trick in the eighth, when they scored two on walk. an error, and a clean hit. Several very fast plays and pretty throws nipped other runs for each side.

More, of the Commission hos pital staff, viewing the game from the shade near the school building, hurried across the field for an ex- animation. As it was seen that the player had been hurt, an auto was rushed in from the sidelines and Dr. More accompanied Wenzel to the hospital. When interviewed. after an X-ray of the arm had been taken, the doctor stated that Wenzel had sustained a fracture of the upper arm about three inches above the elbow and that he prob ably would remain in the hospital for some time The boys of both teams were badly upset by the oc-

The plan of League of Nations,

They were high words which were

planting a flag on foreign soil, no
threat of far-flung frontiers, no pro-
mise of booty in new provinces or
spoil from the strong boxes of de-
feated kings The men that jammed

box cars, that marched up against
machine gun and shrapnel, were told
that they were making the world
not America, nor East Orange, nor
California, but the world safe for
democracy in a war against war.
Through the dirt and sweat of the
endless hikes, the mud. the shell-fire,
there was not much talk of policies.

THE FAILURE OF COOPER
ALTON.

Tt is a curious fact that while CO.
operative stores flourish IN countries
they have never succeeded here. When
one considers the constant cutlery ag-
ainst gocers and butcher, it is rather
strange that cooperative efforts, d.
rected against the exorbitant charges
of the corner grocery and meat shop
have always failed. In March of 1916
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany of New York city started chain
of cooperative stores to lower the
cost of living for its employees. AT
ter less than two years experience
it has been compelled to acknowledge
failure of the scheme, and to auction
off to the highest bidder stocks Of
goods to the value of $4,000. The
stores sold the highest grade of food
stuffs, and although they conducted
demonstrations showing quality was
superior and cost less than for similar
lines of goods at local stores, the en-
ployees couldn't be induced to patron
ize them in sufficient numbers to
make the cooperative effort pay.
Among reasons assigned for their fail
ure were no credit and no free delivery.
Possibly, also, their competitors
started story that the company was
profiteering at the expense of it's en-
ployees, the untruth of which would
have been Immediately apparent upon
comparison of prices. Experiments
in cooperative merchandising show
that the American public does not
warm up to the idea.-Leslies.
