WILSON SAYS UNITED
STATES AMPLY PROTECTED

The principal points President Will
son made in his interpretations of
the league of nations covenant and
treaty of peace terms yesterday be-
fore the senate foreign relations
committee follow:
The league covenant binds mem
bers with moral, rather than le-
gal obligation to protect associate
members from external aggression.
Japan's promise to return Shan
tung province to China was reduced
to written form in the minutes of
the peace conference.
U. S. will be sole judge whether its
obligations have been fuihned under
the withdrawal clause of the league
covenant.
Purely domestic quentions are safe
from league interference. The Mon

THE WISE AND THE
FOOLISH VIRGINS
A Budget For The Children Develops
Their Business Acumen and
Helps Equip Them for Life.

Budgeting children will teach them
the value of money and often make
them more careful of their clothes
and shoes. = 1t will also bring out
certain traits of character that moth
ing else will disclose and enable par
ents to correct faults before they be-
come fixed habits. Any child old
enough to be entrusted with money
is old enough to be given specified
s'nourt to spend each week and to be
told the value of saving some part
of it.
Of course very young children may
not be allowed to choose their clothes
but training along this line may be-
gin very early and since of values
and suitability deeply instilled.
Three grown girls in a family were
given the same allowance for clothes,
books, amusements, entertainments
of friends, etc. At the end of the
first month May had spent all of her
allowance and stated she had moth
ing to show for it. Jane had saved
one-half of hers and deposited it in
the bank She had denied herself
some badly needy clothing and
bought a few snowy articles with the
amount spent. She had accepted en-
tertainment from some of her friends
but was too stingy with her own
money to entertain in return. Sarah
produced an account book and show
ed she had bought all necessary ar.
ticles of clothing, enjoyed severa
we'll chosen entertainments, had tax

hen is showing that such law can
be enforced. He says that since the
law is new, and many people do not
fully understand it, it will not be his
policy to deal harshly or implacably
with people who fail to secure dog
licenses promptly, but that he means
to see that it is enforced and that
sheriffs viii be held to strict accoun-
liability for it's enforcement. That
is the right spirit, and Kentucky is
setting other Southern states a good
example in its dealing with dogs. -

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO DESPISE

BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
FATHER.

Among my a~cquaintances there is a
piteous old man who Is dying of a
broken heart because his wife has
alienated the affections Of his only
child for him.
This father belongs In the ranks Of
those who earn their bread in the sweat
Of their brows. Life has been hard to
him, but the one rose that has bloomed
along his arid pathway has been his lit
tie daughter, and he has found no toll
too hard to keep her soft and safe, no
sacrifices too great to make, to give
aR a fine education.
While the girl was little, she was
a joy to hinA as she cuddled in his
arms and pressed her rosy little cheeks
to his worn one. but as she has grown
older her mother has weaned her away
from her father and taught her to look
with contempt upon him, SO that nov
she treats him with GOODNESS and neg
lect, and pays him not so much at
tention as she would to a faithful old
work horse. z
And 1t has turned the fathers world
to lust and ashes.
One would think that a woman who
turns her children against their father,
and robs him of their love, must be a
fiend incarnate. She would be II she
committed the crime deliberately. but
she does 1t without realizing what a
terrible thing she Is doing. or how far

err weans her children away from their
father through a morbid jealousy. She
wants to be all in all to them. She
cannot bear for them to 0 v anyone

So, with set purpose, she sets to

Generally, however, when a. mother

UNCLE WIGGILY AND NIPPY,S BONE.

Now about an hour after this, when
Nurse Jane had finished sweeping the
hollow stump bungalow, she set the
new broom out on the back steps.
And just about then Nippy finished
gnawing his bone and he started to
gallop and trot, trot and gallop, over
the fields and through the woods, and
pretty soon he came to Uncle Wig
gilyis bungalow.
Nippy saw the broom outside, and
he said to himself, said he:
"Oh, no! Here is a good chance for
me to show Uncle Wiggily how used
TO practice gnawing and pulling on a
broom before l could tackle a bone. I'll
just show him.

took hold of it in his strong teeth n
began TO drag 1t along the path to the
front of the bungalow, For he knew
Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane often
sat cut there in The afternoon to rest
and talk, and he wanted them to see
him.
What's that noise?" asked the bunny
gentleman of Nurse Jane, rs they both
heard Nippy dragging the broom
around.

"Oh, my dear little puppy dog" she
cried. You mustn't take my new

swered Nippy, Look Then he took
a good hold of the broom and growled
and shook it until a lot of the splints
came out and were scattered all over
the grass, -,
"oh, Nippy!' cried Nurse Jane, sor-
rowfully.
Mustn't do that" said Uncle Wig
gily.
"Ah, ha! This is the time 1 get
Uncle Wiggily!" he cried, and he was
just going to grab the bunny rabbit,
when, all at once, Nippy ran and rolled
himself in a puddle Of sticky mud. And
then that brave little puppy an and
rolled himself in the loose, stickery,
prickery broom splints that he had
chewed out of the new broom. And
then just as the Pipsisewah was about
to bite some souse off Uncle Wiggily's
ears, Nippy. all mud and sticking -out
broom splints as he was, ran straight
for the bad creature, and cried:
"Wuff! Wuff! Wuff!"
"Oh, dear me, hum SUI dud n some

run, and he didn't hurt Uncle Wiggily
at all. And the bunny said it was al
right for Nippy to have chewed the
broom and Mr.. Longears bought Nurse
Jane another new one.
So, you see, it's a good thing the lit
